London April N. TM German rusto In
Flanders and the Woevre and they claim
to have made considerable success are be
Ileved lo have keen the forerunner or an
otber bit efforts to break through the allies'
lines in the west. The attack In Flanders
originally leveled at Uie French has been
transferred to the British lines held by the
Canadians on the immediate right or the
French and here for two days the mea
from the Dominion have been engaged In a
deadly contest with the Germans. The latter
state in their official report that they have
made furtBer progress toward Ypres and
that the British counter attack has been re
pulsed.
The French account on the other hand
declares that the allies' counter attacks
continue with success and that the British
hold all their positions and repeats the
charge that the- Germans are using bombs
containing asphyxiating gases
The Frankfurter Zeltung Justifies the use
or these mtssttrs on the ground that the
allies have done likewise.
The Herman attack In the Woevre or m
the Mease hills was directed against the
French positions to the southwest or Co ro-
bres mi according lo the Berlin statement
J be Fssttch suffered a heagjt date. ST. Parts
however says that In a counter attack
which occurred the Germans were com
pletely driven back by the French first
line.
The movements by the Germans have
been made possible by tM state or tn
ground on the eastern front where oper
atlons are virtually Impossible until the
spring floods have subsided. Taking ad
vantage or these conditions the German
general start transferred a large number
of troops to the weal to. make another big
effort which shows that they are not con
tent to rely on a passive policy.
It Is believed that a half million new
German troops have reached Flanders and
that' more guns and materials arc to be
used than were provided for me original
attempts to destroy the' allied armies In
the west attempt which met with failure
bolb in August and In October.
In the meantime the eastern front Is en
loving a period of comparative calm except
In the mid-Carpathians where the Russians
continue to attack the Austrlans in I'saos
nasa and to Hie eastward where the Aua
trains and Germans are trying lo crueu
the Russian flank. Both sides report sue
cesses.
The operations In the Dardanelles anear

to President Oarfleld or Williams college
detailing the work In the navy during the
last IWO years Mr. Daniel wrote In reply
to Mr. Oarrield' request for material
meet statements that the United States Is
unprepared for military emergencies. The
letter rollOWl:
"My Uesr President Oarrield I am in re-
ceipt of your recent favor aaklng for 'an

plying with your request as fsr as is com-
patible "
