WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCES Sunday. April 7. No finer
chapter has beeif provided from, the
story of the British defense since the
German offensive beg-so than that fur
nished by the cavalry. ,
Never during the present war had
horsemen been itlven the chance which
iney had in this more or less ope
warfare, and they made the most of
It. They have bren here, there and
everywhere, filling- In- raps, strength

been brilliant and ther thoroughly en
Joyed every minute of it. despite the
gruelling engagements.

The correspondent saw long- lines e
csvalry on the road yesterday. They
were Dame-worn and plainly showed
the marks of hard fiKhtlnc-. More
than one trooper led a riderless horse.
rut the men s heads were uo and thel
lances described defiant circles, while
the horses cavorted as though they
too. were ready for more trouble.
In the first three days of the German
drive the cavalry fought mostly on
foot and did valuable work. It was
dismounted cavalry that held the
Ollesy-Ham line on Alarch 2!. while the
Infantry withdrew. There was terrific
fighting here. One party -of dragoons
was cut orr r a right during- which
they were out in the open, battling for
their lives, finally they cut their way
through the German lines at Jussy by
main force.
On the J Jd the cavalry can Into Its

f spectacular feats.

A race developed between the horse
men and the enemy Infantry across the
rolling ground. The Germane reached
the northern part of the wood, but the
cavalry arrived at the other side at
about the same time and went rushing
through the forest atralast the Ger
mans. An Intense battle at close quar
ters ensued and the cavalry waa doing
great execution when the order came
to cover the retirement of the infantry.
The troop ens withdrew from the wood
and brought ur the rear, pausing often
to fight rear-guard actions with the
hotly pressing enemy.

a wood northwest of Jkloreuil. there

from the British command that the

The cavalry waa called upon. Thay
responded and came pounding up to the
wood in a picturesque manner. Here a
part of them dismounted and went In
on foot, but the Canadian horses tore
on into the forest and burled them
selves on the enemy. As one trooper
later put It:
"There was a hell of a flrht."
8tep by step the Germans gave way
before the onslaught until the western
part of the wood had been cleared be

alry held It until next morning, when
the Infantry took over the position.
On the list the Germans again at

British Infantry was compelled to pull

weight ef the numbers opposed to them.

COPENHAGEN. April S. (Special.) Army Will Have No Use for Men Not
The masses in Austria are showing
signs that they consider their war aims
have been attained through the signing
of peace with the Ukraine and with
Roumania.
Not only the labor element, but also
the bourgeoise, have expressed their
desire for Immediate peace. Emperor
Karl has emphasized twice his desire
for peace in bis messages to the Kaiser
offering congratulations on the results
of the western offensive.
Czcrnin's recent speech provoked
tremendous amount of criticism all over
Germany, practically every part of the
country attacking him. Czerntn's allu
sion to peace pourparlers had two ob
jects first, to show the absence of
peace inclination to France, and, sec
ond, to try to provoke a cabinet crisis
in r ranee and bring about the forma
tion of a Socialist government.
The morale of Austria is not favor
able to an offensive, and Czernln, who
is a clever politician, is trying to avoid
an attack on Italy, with its attendant
heavy cost.
Should Czernln fail, it is believed
Count Alonsdorff would be his successor.

retary Olcott today called attention to
the fact that at the last meeting of the
State Board of Control he called up the
petition from Eugene presented at a
previous meeting and suggested that an
investigation be made into the status
of alien enemies among the state em

presented a letter from the Department
of Justice, in which the department
suggested that such employes, if loyal
to their trust, should not be disturbed. t
This meeting was after the meetins

of the information received from Wash
