- London: One of the biggest
battles of the war and one which
possibly will be of a decisive
nature is in progress in northern
France. Both the British and

French are seemingly ready for ay
renewed attack on the enemy,and}

on Friday afternoon strong artil-
lery fighting began along the
whole Aisne front and also in
Champagne, while from Loos to
the Arras-Cambrai railway line
the British guns increased the
intensity of their fire. The Ger-
man statement indicates that the
enemy expects the northern end
of the Hindenburg line to suffer
another hammering. The Allied
ferces, itis thought, will make
eombined attacks on each end of
the new line, in the effort to roll
it up.

British headquarters reports an-
other move towards Cambrai, the
village of Gonnelieu being taken
in an advance of about a mile,

In the fighting east of Courey
the French advanced tcwards
Brimont plateau, one of the chief
obstacles to their progress,

During the two weeks of the
present offensive the Anglo-
French armies have captured over
33,000 prisoners and 330 guns
larger than machine guns.

London: Two German destroy-
ers were sunkand another possibly
destroyed when enemy war. vas-
sels attempted to bombard Dover.
It is thought the raiders hoped to
find the veasel on which Lloyd
George was crossing the Channel.

Allflour mills will be taken over
on April 30. Imports will be re-
duced to the lowest possible mini-
mum. Wheat, beef, pork products,
maize and oats are the only com-
modities Great Britain needs to
import,

Earl Curzon says the end is not
yet, but the situation is good.
recent operations resulted in ‘a
very considerable military victory
and demonstrated the wonderful
superiority of the Britishartillery,
which hurled four million rounds

_ of ammunition into the ranks of

the enemy. The Germans, how-
ever are not yet sufficiently brok-
en to accept the Allies’ terms of
peace.

Washington: ‘Balfour helieves'|i
the United States will astound
Germany. The object of the

- conference,he told the press, was

to make *co- operation easy and
effective between thoge who are
striving with. all their might to
bring about a lasting peace by

the only means that can secure | . -

‘ita successful ¢ war.”

' Stockholm: Fivethousand work-
men congregated before the riks-

"dag building to ‘emphasize . their

demand for stoppage of al) ex-
ports, for better distribution of
foodatuffs, and for an immediate

commercial agreement with Brit-

ain. |

Two battles are raging today,
one along the Chemin des Dames,
dominating Laon and its plateau,’
and the other around Moronvillers
heights, dominating the northern
Champagne plains, The fighting
now in progress supersedes in
importanee any actions on the
entire western front and at any
moment newer and more import-
ant situations may be created.

London: British forces north
of Bagdad have achieved another
victory over the Turks.

The British hospital ships Don-
egal and La Franee, with many
wounded aboard, were torpedoed
without warning. Wounded Huns
and prisoners were aboard. They
made a mad dash for the boats,
while the British upheld their
racialtraditions. Nineteen British
and fifteen Germans are believed
to have perished.

Petrograd: A German navai
squadron has left Libau, presum-
ably to make another attempt be-
hind the Russian lines from the
Baltic. . Anotherenemy squadron
is reported en .route from Kiel.
Transports loaded with troops
accompany the Libau squadron.

‘Washington: What the Allies
chiefly require from the U.S. is
food. This vitul fact has develop-
ed from the international eonfer-
ence. No actual steps willbe talren
until the Freneh commission ar-
rives,but it is believed there is no
immediate concern regarding’ an
American expeditionary force.
