(By the AnsfKilatetl - Prca) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. April 1, - Comparative calm reigned this morning between the southern flank of the battle front and Montdldier. . ( : Heavy German forces,' however, were thrown against the village of Grlvesnes, about half, way between Montdldier and Moreuil, . evidently with the Intention of. forcing a pas sage toward the railroad running In to Amiens from the south. All efforts by the enemy were In vain. The French .troops held firm throughout a long and constantly re newed struggle In the outskirts and streets of the village, where the soldiers-came to closest grips with bayonets and hand ' grenades. At noon the village was still in the hands of the Fernch, thefjrmans having been repulsed on several oc casions with th3f heaviest losses. . Allies Recapture Positions. Still further northward the Brit ish and French fought shoulder to shoulder in the vicinity of Hangard-en-Santerre, preventing dense colum- ns of the enemy rom gaining ground ana later recapturing some positions with a number of prisoners. Wher ever the allies regained territory tbey find heaps of German dead which the Invaders had no time to bury. . They appear to have suffered terrible los ses from the fire ,of French field runs.

A deluge of gas projectiles and explosive, shels fall on certain portions Of the American sector northwest of Toul for four hours last night and this morning. A number of towns, trenches and roads were targets for the enemy, who be gan firing before midnight. First one place was "strafed"; and then another. At one location alone four thousand shells, two thousand of which were gas projectiles fell. .Toward the end of the shelling, the Germans let down a barrage in front of one of the American front line positions for good -measure. Lit tle damage was done. The American artillery retaliated and dropped many shells near a truck carrying supplies to an advance post before the driver abandoned it. Two American patrols entered the enemy lines last night. Both found the belts of wire heavily electrified, one reported that the strands Of wire were connected with interrupters, which gave, off sparks as a warning to the enemy sentries. Great-activity continues In tthe rear of the enemy lines'. One especially active point is in the town of Pannes, at which the -Anierlcan gunners do not shoot : because the French civil ians are -still there. As many as 1000 Germans have been seen there at one time during the last few hours. Vehicles on roads back of the Amer lean lines were shelled by Germans this morning. ? j LENIENCY SHOWN IS HELD TO BE SUFFICIENT (Continued from Page 1) "I think the thing for the city to do is to "make an-example of aorae of these men who haye been fighting the city." he said. "Whv haven't a let of these property holders paid? It Is because some- blg gun hasn't paid. When the big guns ay, then the others will pay. I think if we set .a, definite date some, time after he close of the war when proceed ings to foreclose will Btart,, that most ef them will pay up." j Interest Is Not Paid. "But they don't even pay their In terest." interrupted Mayor Keyes. One of the aldermen asked if cer tain wealthy men who have 'been fighting the city through the courts bad paid in. . "No," answered the mayor, "and 2c are going to foreclose on them. They will pay." ' . - Unruh. spoke against the motion to reconsider.
