WASHINGTON. April . The charge
that Theodore Roosevelt had made "a
false statement" In declaring the se
dition bill punishing disloyal utter
ances would prohibit criticism of the
President, was made by Senator Over
man, of North Carolina, today when
debate was resumed on the measure.
Senator Overman said Mr. Roosevelt
probably was misinformed, but he de
clared he should correct his statement
and "apologise" to the public.
Defending Colonel Roosevelt. Sena
tors Lodge, of Massachusetts; Borah, of
Idaho: Kellogg, of Minnesota, and other
Republicans said he probably was mis
led by press reports and admitted that
no provision of the bill would penalize
criticism of tbe Presidcnt-
"If Mr. Roosevelt has courage and
love of truth." said Senator Overman,
"he will apologize to the judiciary com
mittee (which consldt-red the bill), and
the people of the United States. I
think all Senators mill bear me out
that there is not a word of truth in
Mr. Roosevelt's statement. Never at
any time mas such an amendment con
sidered hy the committee. Mr. Roose'
veil probably was misinformed. But
I call it to his attention, and If hn has
his old-time manliood and truth left In
him. he will apologize.
Reverting u Colonel Roosevelt's
latement. Senator Smoot, of t tan.
Republican, pointed out that the Asso
ciated Press, on Aoril J, sent out the
report on which Mr. Roosevelt based
his criticism.
I find it was sent by the Associated
Press and given them by someone-
rlerk of the Judiciary committee," said
Senator Smoot. Then my language re
gardir.g t olonel Roosevelt applies to
tne Associated Press or any other news
paper publishing this." retorted Sena
lor Overman.
"The language used by the Associ
ated Press Is exjetiy the language tn
tbe bill, as reported to the Sr.tte. ex
cept for the words 'the President of
the Cnlted Slates. replied Senator
Smoot.
Senator Overman sjld the committee's
chl.-f clerk denied giving out the language.
Suggesting that Senator Overman
had been "rather -ver'" on the Asso
ciated Press. Senator Kellogg, of Min
nesota, aaid:
'It's surprising that this cre.ited no
ensatl.m until Colonel Roosevelt
wrote about IL"
The words the President of the
United States'" appeared In the draft
gtven to the Associated Press, but did
not appear when the measure was
printed for consideration. Apparently
they had been eliminated.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IX
FRANCE. Anril . (By the Associated
Press.) The Germans attempted a raid
this morning on the American positions
northwest of Toul. after a violent artil
lery preparation. They were driven off
hv the American artillery and machln
cun fire and suffered comparatively
heavy casualties, leaving two prisoners
In the hands of the Americans.
From the German point of .view, the
raid waa a complete failure, ae not
single American was captured.
As soon as the German barrage fire
lifted, the American outposts saw the
enemy Infantry advancing and called
for a counter barrage, which fell within
two minutes Just in front of the. enemy.
The Germans scattered as the Amer
lean infantrymen came from their
underground shelters and began pour
ing machine and automatic gun Are Into
their ranks.
An American corporal In a listening
post saw a big German sergeant wear
ing the Iron cross passing close by. He
leaped out .and hit lilm with his rifle
butt and then throttled him and hauled
him Into one of the American trenches
Another German was captured in No
Man's Land by -another corporal, whose
squad covered the German while the
corporal advanced and demanded his
surrender. The German threw up Ills
hands and yelled "kamerad."
The American General commanding
the troops in this sector has personally
congratulated tbe American captors and
promised to rem-ard them for their cool
headed courage in the face of the
enemy's flre.
The prisoners talked freely and di
vulged considerable valuable informa
tion.
General Pershing arrived at the head
quarters at the front as the prisoners
were brought In.
in anotner part or tne sector an
enemy patrol earlier today attacked an
American party carrying food to
listening post. The American sergeant
commanding the food carriers shot i
German sergeant through tho head
Tho loss of their commander demoral
ized the remainder of the patrol, which
retreated.

seemingly marking time, while taking
rest, perhaps for another great put.h
here or elsewhere.
The present fighting is progressing
over a rather broken country, and the
Germans are meeting with the fiercest
resistance on every inch of it, and they
are open to counter-attacks that are
perious for them. The slight fluctua
tions In the lines fn the last few days
show how the French and British are

formation of the ground, while they
are strengthening their defensive lines
and their artillery.
