The British have not permitted the halt in the fighting along the Western battle front to keep them inactive. With their landsmen on the alirt, watching keenly and waiting f - the next move of the German infantry in France and Belgium, British naval forces, reinforced to some extent by French warcraft, have carried out a startling and daring maneuver which, if it should prove to yS have been successful, may play a marked part in the future of the war. No less objective was sought than the blotting out by one sweepV . ? - inr. mow of Germany's submarine menace from the bases at Zee Brugge a d Citend by the sinking across the exits from the harbors of large old time cruisers, laden with cargoes of concrete. Full Details Lacking. While full details of the attacks have not yet been received the information at hand is that two of the cruisers were blown up and the entrance to the Bruges Canal at Zeebrug?'e nnd another was sunk while p \ssing in the canal. At Ostend two additional warships were run ashore and destroyed by bombs. Volunteers were chosen by the W*9 -.I-.;?1 J- J * , Quiuiini in uuuinianu ior tno dangerous task. One British torpedo bont destroyer was sunk by the German guns and four smaller crafts are missing, a considerable number of casualties on board the attacking vessels was suffered. Along the entire battle front the state of comparative quietude that * has existed since last Thursday continues. The only activity except for small attack here and there is filing carried out by the artillery. The Ger? " man guns have been paying particular attention to the sectors around Ypres, Kemmel and the Nieppe Forest, upon which large numbers of high explosives have been thrown. British Take Prisoner*. North of Albert the British in a local attack improved their position and took prisoners and additional captives were made by them near Rebecqu and Wytschaete. Attemps by the Germans to raid French trenches between Lassigny and Noyon were repulsed. Notwithstanding the lull there is expectancy in the allied camps %of *u_ 1 1 viiv nc-ur approacn 01 another great ' attempt by the Germans to break their line. In both.the British and ihe French armies the soldiers , are waiting patiently, confident that they will be able to give good accounting of themselves against any attacks the Germans may make. Rumor has it that relations between Il-dland and Germany are strained; that Germany has delivered an ultimatum to Iloiland demanding the right to transmit civilian supples and gravel and war material on the Dutch canals and railways. ft GERMANS FORCED FROM SEICHEPREY Washington, April 23.?The German claim that the special shock troops which penetrated into American and French lines in front of the village of Seicheprey last Saturday returned to their position unobserved after fighting that lasted into Sunday, is denied in a dispatch today from France quoting an official note: The fighting resulted in special successes for the French and American, the note said, the enemy being "energetically forced back to his own lines." The dispatch also discloses that in their dashing counter attack which drove the Germans from Seicheprey, the Americans took prisoners. "During the night of the 20th and 21st, towards 5 o'clock in the morning" says the note, "after a bombardment of unusual violence, including the use of toxin shells, an enemy force equalling a regiment, reinforced by shock troops, especially trainv ed and brought up with this operation in view, threw themselves energetically into the attack on a front of nearly two kilometers. The ene my succeeded in penetrating into the French lines as far as Seicheprey vJiich was hotly defended by the Vmericans. "Immediately our intrepid allies paasir.g in their turn to the offensive made in conjunction with our troops a brilliant counterattack which put them again in possession of Seicheprey ar.d permitted them to take prisoners. A furious combat on both sides continued all day. At niKht, the enemy, who had succeeded in spite of the vigorous operations carried on by the American elements in holding the Remierss wood, was driven out by an energetic counterattack executed by French and American troops. "The close co-operation of the two armies once more brought marvelous t results which gave us complete sucCess. The ground we previously had J occupied was completely recaptured ?L' and the enemy energetically forced if i back to his own lines, left prisoners in our hands and msny dead in front of our barbed wira." SOLDIERS HARMED BUI BY "BLUE" LETTERS Washington, April 22?Families of T soldiers training in the United States the were asked today by the war depart- Cha: ment not to write alarming or dis- mitt couraging letters to the men. Division commanders have reported I)eai that in many cases such letters have U so worried the soldiers that they have mnil hurried home without leave, thus vio- Thir luting rules and making themselves tifici iable to pun:shment. In some in- ficat stances, the men, reluctant to face l>o i the penalty, have deserted. but ' "Every soldier wants to receive only letters from home," said the war de- t U partment's statement. "They should payr be frequent, cheerful, hopeful and It appreciative of the sacrifice that he plett is making for his country. They rnadi should be full of family incidents and pnigi cheerful home gossip. They should the protect him from trifling alarms and gene the small annoyances of every day the life. They should encourage him by Sout giving full confidence that his family have and his friends stand behind him in scrib the great enterprise he has undertu- | listm ken." I copy Cap! LOYAL CITIZENS ARE BEING plact DEPENDED UPON TO REPORT ! scho< DISLOYALTY OF OTHERS to cc - est, Columbia?Since the recent adop- pride tion by Congress of the Sedition Bill, trace the reporting of suspicious and dis- peop loyal acts or manifestations of sym- . that pathy for the enemy becomes more both important, and the government must name necessarily depend upon the loyal ____ people of the nation to report such expressions and activities, forbidden V by the new law, v. hich come to th"ir | uttention. Only in this manner may 1 y enemy propaganda be checked and I ^ the attention of the authoriti?? ?ii- I rected to suspicious individuals. j It has been reported to the State Council of Defense that many people throughout the State fail to report suspicious cases coming to their at- 1 -i ention for the reason that they have | been uncertain as to whom to properly make reports. In every coun- -1 'y there is a local chairman of the J State Council of Defense. Reports of enemy activity or disloyal utterances made to the county chairman || / will be immediately reported to the ntelligenee division of the War De i .eat, and all reported cases will ? be promptly investigated; or the re- 1 port can be made direct to the Intel- . I -1 ligence Officer, Headquarters Sou- ' i '.hern Department, Charleston, S. C. ! | It is stated on authority of intelli- I gence officers that names of persons giving information will not be di- i vulged and that there need be no fear, on the part of anyone, of em- 1 barrassment in case their suspicions prove to be unfounded, but infornacts should indicate the nature and source of their information, as well is being definite concerning time tnd place. No one is asked or ex- II I 1 pected to act as a spy or detective, i ':ut it is desired that all patriotic and ioyul people be vigilant in the pros- r"" ;nt crisis, and jealous of their eoun- | ry's cause and of their liberty. !

' lt-p G.L.MOORE, Chairman Ex Com \ * REMARKABLE SIGHT BUI NOTED IN HEAVENS Spartanburg, April 23.?One of Spe the most remarkable motoric pheno- C mens of which local scientists have ?d ? any record burst over this county this reas evening at 8:30 o'clock and was wit-! ''u* nossed by the soldiers at Camp Wads- j ^ro' I at I worth. Though it was still day- j a light the illumination in the heavens'^ ^ east shadows of every object. The ^ shadows of electrical wires overhead ?am were suddenly outlined on the pave- -ar,y ment and a red plow filled the hea- yj vens. Those who looked up saw | "hanging little southeast, in center of , the sky, a floating white cloud as if a shrapnel shell ha?l hurst and the *,,..u.| smoke remained stationary. Three t^cho minutes after the bright Hash there j ^ came the sound of three distinct exnlosions. Many said it was a signal sent up from camp, perhaps a star . ri-rl shell they were trying our, and many j t of the soldiers accepted that explan- j.ation. At the office of the signal on t corps it was said no such thing had ,vjor been undertaken and that the cloud . j was too light to have been caused by ? any explosive sent up from the earth. A short while after the explosion re- traj,. ports came from many nearby towns .j of the same experience, showing that it had been witnessed ifi) and 40 miles r..^ from Spartanburg. Authorities of local colleges say it was a remarks- j. v , blc meteor. This phenomenon was from Chcs- j. ^ terfield very distinct, the long trail ljll, | of white smoke or gasses being il lumincd by the setting sun for many wjtjj minutes. Spartanburg is a little north of west from Chesterfield and , . i as this metorite was seen here in the .. . . . i conti western sky and in Spartanburg in ^ the eastern, the metorite must have ' fallen between the two cities. < Perhaps Lancaster or Chester can tell us where it fell. .... ... .lortl; There is at the Natural History Museum in New York City ouite a t ^ eollection of metorites collected from ( nent.
