BRITISH Gl'XS T(K) MI CH. Germans Lose Ground*; Try to Regain Losses; Fail. The Germans, with very large forces. Sunday attacked the British along the Bapaume-Cambrai road * over a front of six miles and. fighting desperately, succeeded in gaining a foothold in the village of Lagnicourt, "which lies southwest of Queant, a position of great strategic importance in the German line. Everywhere else along the British front the Germans were repulsed according to the official report from Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, and their success at Lagnicourt was not for long, as a r>/"?TL-orfnl Rritich' r>mir> tpr-ar taok vr .? v* a. v%* drove them out. Three hundred Germans were made prisoner and 1,500 German dead were counted in front of the British positions. On Outskirts of Lens. While unofficial reports say British patrols entered the town of Lens tonight, the British official communication merely says the British now are approaching the outskirts of the town, having captured German defenses from Rieumont wood to the eastern corner of Cite St. Pierre and also east of Lievin. Ground was gained Sunday by the British north of St. Quentin. The French are violently bombarding the sector of St. Quentin and are being answered spiritedly by the Germans. The artillery duel continues - unabated in Champagne. Two attacks by the Germans on the right bank of the Meuse, in the Verdun sector, were repulsed by the French. Another Retreat? What may be indicative of an in- j tention on the part of the Germans to fall back on the northern front in Belgium is the fact that the Belgian troops have penetrated into the town of Dixmude as far as the German sec -^pnd lines ana iouna mem uumu- < pied. Over the entire Belgian front for days there have been violent artillery bombardments and before the advance on Dixmude the German positions were heavily shelled. Air Battles. Fighting in the air continues intense. Berlin tells of the loss by "the French, British and Americans" i of seventeen aeroplanes. Sunday j four German aeroplanes were brought down by British fliers and eleven others were driven down. Ten British machines failed to return to their base. . I The Paris war office reports that French aviators in the last three days of the last week accounted for twen< ty-five German aeroplanes and a captive balloon. American Losses. The mention of "American" aeroplanes as having been lost would indicate that the members of the La-1 fayette Corps have carried out theirj intention to float the American flag from their machines over the battle lliltJ lxi r lauvc, Little fighting of moment is reported from any of the other fronts.' In Macedonia the sector of the Cerna river bend and Lake Presba has been the scene of a Teutonic allied attack against Italian positions. The attackers were forced to withdraw under the heavy fusillade. Albanians and Austrians had the worst of skirmishes with French troops west of Koritza. President Wilson had addressed a personal appeal to the American people, calling upon man, woman, and child to strive to make the nation a union for the preservation of its ideals and for the triumph of the democracy of the world. HORSES GOT BEST CABINS. Italian Reseiwists Took Steerage on Ocean Liner. An excited crowd of women, many of them weeping, stormed Pier B., Jersey City, recently in an effort to restrain their sons and husbands, reservists in the Italian army, from sailing on the transatlantic Italian liner Dante Alighierl. They engaged the good offices of Jersey City HotooHves on the pier to supplement their importunities and out of the 2,000 or more men intending to take passage probably 30 turned back. Once on board, the reservists found that 1,500 head of horses had been allotted the best quarters. The first and second cabins had been converted into stalls, while the steerage had been given to the prospective soldiers. The exodus was in response to a recent call of the Italian government. ?New York Sun. St. George I Joy in Egypt. Mrs. J. O. Reed received a letter a few days ago from her son, J. O. Reed, Jr., who is safe in Egypt. He sailed about two months ago from Virginia with a cargo of horses. Since leaving America grave fear has been felt by his parents for his safety on account of the break between the United States and Germany. The letter was dated February IS. He stated that he was undecided as to when he would return to America.?Dorchester Eagle. AUSTRIA NOW AMERICA'S FOR. Vienna Severs Diplomatic Relations. Sides With Germany. Washington, April 9.?AustriaHungary, ranging herself unreservedly with Germany, has severed diplomatic relations with the United States, precipitating a situation which generally is expected here to lead to war. Baron Erich Zwidinek, the Austrian charge, asked the State department today for passports for himself, his staff and the Austrian consular force in this country; and simultaneously American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announced the break in relations to the American embassy in Vienna yesterday. Immediately the treasury department ordered the seizure of all Aus trian merchant ships dn American harbors. The Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration stations and American guards put on board. The measure was explained as purely one of police caution, but it is realized that it may be interpreted by Austria as an act of war. In a similar situation after the break with Germany no ships were seized until a state of war actually had been declared. Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are preparing to follow suit is unknown, but officials generally believe . that sooner or later they will do so. Telegrams prepared a week ago in anticipation of today's developments have been sent to American diplomatic and consular officials abroad instructing them to wind up their conduct of entente interests in Austria and of Austrian interests in entente countries. Spain will take over American interests in Austria and Sweden will assume Austrian interests here. HOSES FOR MISS RANKIN. All the Republican Congressmen Now Wear Boutonnieres. ^ rncae hoi'O ho. tJOUiiomiiei es ui icu i uu > ^ come the prevailing style on the Republican side of the house of representatives since Miss Jeanette Rankin became a member. The second day of Miss Rankin's membership found Republicans adorned in a fashion that indicated a rare progressiveness of mind. Even the most confirmed standpatters have yield to the impulse to adorn themselves. The flowers prove immensely effective by enhancing the general appearance of the Republicans. Miss Rankin, who, yesterday, carried yellow roses, today held in her hand throughout the session a long stemmed pink rose, which she played with while talking house business and greeting new acquaintances. No other new member of congress ever got acquainted so quickly. Miss Rankin has been so busy that she has visited her office but four times since reaching Washington. The first two were Sunday afternoon and night. She was there yesterday a few minutes before congress met, but was unable to return until late this afternoon. Her office has-been rearranged by the erection of a veritable barricade between the front door and her desk. Desks and book cases were utilized for this purpose. The congresswoman now can have privacy while visitors wait in a small ante room. No member of congress was ever besieged for photographs by persons in every section of the country as Miss Rankin has been the past two days. Every mail brings in new requests for a picture with a signature. The high cost of popularity is in evidence. Miss Rankin will try to supply every demand for photographs.? Washington cor.
