The fire of the artillery is described as the fiercest that has yet been heard in the war and confirms what here tofore had only been rumored that the British and French have brought up, since the battle of Ypres, an enor mous number of guns of all calibers. The German trenches, on which the artillery fire was directed, were com pletely wrecked, so that except in one or two places, which virtually had been converted into fortresses, the infantry were able to advance without much dif ficulty.

Genua Position Slade Plain. Since the outbreak of the war the German government has defined its views on shipments of conditional con traband and has argued that foodstuffs must be proved without any doubt to be bound actually to a belligerent force of an enemy before they can be seized. The German Ambassador sent a full report to his government of the story of tbe German captain and the reasons for the latter's actions at tbe time. From the fact that Count Bernstorff has presented to the State Department Captain Thierichens' side of the case, the conviction was general earlier in the day that the Ambassador had de fended the commander. Later it de-1 veloped that the Ambassador had ex-1 pressed no views on the subject to the tate Department. Hftow rt cr ha.
