GERMAN ATTEMPTS MAKE
STEADY PROGRESS VERDUN
PARIS, April 9.—It is admitted |
that the German attempts to reduce
the salient northwest of Verdun are
making steady if slow and costly
progress.
The Germans arc taking positions
surely enough, but at a cent of hu
man life unknown even in this
bloodiest of wars hitherto.
Now the Germans are practically
directing all their energies against
the northwestern lines of the Ver
dun defenses and they are systemat
ically bombarding and capturing
after bombardment, by storm man)
minor positions and the first line of
trenches.
An attempt to inaugurate a big
flanking movement concentrating the
German forcos at Langenfellkopf,
failed, the Germans being repulsed
with great slaughter.
BERLIN, April 9.—Steady pro
gress marks the German offensive
at Verdun battle front. Occasional
set backs have all of them no signi
ficance in the smashing forwara
movement of the Germans.
The object now is to bend back
the semi-circular projection on the
west front which the Verdun posi
tions have been threateningly in
truding. The work will not take
much longer, end it is expected that
after that the allies will abandon
any forward movement may be In
contemplation.

ZEPPELIN RAIDS SPUR
BRITISH DEMAND ACTION
tiON-DON, April 9.—Recruiting
Zeppelin raids are spurring the peo
ple to demand immediate activities
on the west front so that they can
control the coast of Belgium. It is
not impossible that these clamorous
demands may force the hands of the
British members of the War Council
and incline towards precipitous ac
tion.
The papers are asking what the
army has been raised for if not to
fight, and the inaction on the wesi
front is bitterly condemned in a
good many periodicals which simply
re-echo the unthinking clamor of the
people.
LONDON, April 9.—Lloyd George
is answering the complaints of gov
ernmental and army inactivity. He
says that he cannot enter into any
explanation of the present quietness
relatively speaking on the west front.
but it based upon the highest mili
tary reasons and will be broken
when everything is prefectly ready.
Lloyd George said that there would
not again be any more
costly premature offensives,
and when the offensive would
start it would begin with the full
strength of the army and proceed
without interruption.

GERMAN DELEGATES PLAN
AFTER WAR TOUR ROUTE
BERLIN, April 9.—Hungary, Aus
tria and Germany have delegates
here now discussing the routes for
tourists after the war.
They figure it out that there will
be a universal desire to visit the
scenes of the fighting, and that it Is
desirable to systematize the work of
routing in a manner favorable to the
three countries dominant in Central
Europe. The plans have already
I been skeltonized and are giving
| great satisfaction.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS
HAVE ORGANIZATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 9 —
Without asking permission from
any ono and taking the bureaus by
surprise, five thousand government
clerks organized and have Joined
the American Federation of Labor.
If the president will permit it,
several bureau heads have declared
that the clerks will have to sever
their connection with the labor or
ganization or get out at once.
JThe officials of the organization
say that no such action is possiblo
for, to enforce this plan would mean
the complete dislocation of the office
work and routine as the employees
will strike should one man be dis
missed.
CONFESSED TO BIG THEFT
REGISTERED U. S. MAIL
LOS ANGELES, April 9.—Federal
officers brought here today one
James Moran from San Dlogo.
Moran has confessed to participat
ing with three others in tho robbery
of the registered mail on the New
York ferry boat on February 20.
The registered mall was ransacked
completoly and every bit of its con
tents abstracted In a most daring
manner.
The robbers secured two hundred
and fifty thousand.
Moran voluntarily confessed, and
It is admitted that this is tho only
direct evidence against him although
he has been under suspicion for
some time. ^
Ho stated to reporters today that
he only got two hundred dollars of
the rich loot, owing to a frame-up
on the part of the other three men.
He said that ho told them If they
didn’t blow through, that they
would get the worst of It. He warn
ed them that he would squeal and
his accomplices told him to squeal
and be damned.
So far nothing is given out to
identify the three acoompll&ee, but
the men are being hunted for by the
federal officers who got the tip from
Moran. Moran will be held as a
witness against them and will prob
ably go free himself.

LONDON. April 9.—The Press Is

which hint a possible separate peace
with the Centra^ Powers upon the

that Russia realises that that can*
not be done and In any event would

PORK AND PREPAREDNESS
MUNITIONIST SAUSAGE
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 9.—
With Honry Ford declaring that his
big vote in Michigan was a protest
against Preparedness, Senator Ken
yon on Saturday delivered the pre
parationists some telling blows cit
ing several actual illuminating cases
revealing a closo mixture of pork
and preparedness'and labelled mu
nltionist sausage.
Secretary Baker reports that the
American troops will remain In
Mexico until the-original aim of the
administration is accomplished; the
capture or dispersal'of' the bandits
who raided Columbus. *
It is no^ expected that the Senate
will be ready to vote on the army
bill until April 18. Politics will
postpone it, if nothing else.
Democrats now are beginning to
believe that the agitation against
preparednees is finding unexpected
open up a heavy bombardment of
the Russian lines.

Secretary Baker announces that h^
