FORESEE
GERMANS NOW ARE
RESISTING STRONGLY
LONDON, March 22.—General Sir
Douglas Haig, says a War Office
bulletin issued to the Official Press
Bureau this evening, announces that
the German retirement is now sub
siding and heavier fighting may
very soon be expected.
The curvature in the line between
Peronne and Arras is now practical
ly straightened out and the short
ening that follows is expected to
allow the Germans a more concen
trated opportunity for resistance.
It is stated that there may soon
occur a German offensive although
the Allied forces are in overwhelm
ing superiority and composed ot
every branch of the army. French
and British are carefully rebuilding
and restoring the devastated terri
tory which is practically a waste
or mass of ruins after the German
withdrawal. This action is preced
ing a general advance.
PARIS, March 22.—The official
communique this evening says that
the French threw the Germans out
of several trenches north of Tergniec
and occupied several more villager j
despite vigorous resistance.
The German resistance this aftei
noon is showing quite a vigorous
stiffening and it is suspected that
for some time the Germans will
make a determined stand. Thers
were many more prisoners captured
today, but most of these wer<i
wounded men, some slightly and
others severely. All showed that
they had been extremely exhausted
by the continuous fighting.
WILSON BEGINS HIS
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22.— .
President Wilson began work on his ,
message to Congress this afternoon.
By many, this is considered the most
significant presidential message in
dited since the Civil War and will
inevitably also lead the nation into
war.
Members of all parties and fac
tions are wiring Wilson assurances
of their support in the national
emergency. The house is evenly
divided. Because Meyer London the
New York socialist representative,
has almost on almost all serious di
visions supported the democrats,
Martin of Louisiana, a progressive
independent, is regarded as the
member holding the balance of
power. Great interest is taken in
this phase bf the political situation.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22.—
Rumors are out that neutral diplo
mats are planning to attempt medi
ation between America and Ger
many. This is not officially an
nounced although it is known that
representations to this exect have
heen brought to the attention of
the State Department with a view
of discovering how it would be
taken. The adminstration officials
are greatly displeased that such a
thing could be considered for oven
an instant. The officials of the
State Department went so far to
brand the attempt before nevs
paper reporters as Pro-German and
Anti-American. It is too late now
to parly says Lansing. America is
done with mediation for ever. This
was final.

SIDES CHARGE
EACH OTHER BRIBERY
SKATTLE, March 22.—The Gill j
trial is growing in bitterness and |
the attempt to prosecute Mayor Gill I
on the indictments returned against
him is not all plain sailing for the
prosecution. Both sides have appar
ently strong and sincere following,
and the idea that the government
is trying to railroad Gill is mani
festly ridiculous. The Gill faction
claims that Billingsley is the map
at the back of the plot and he has
had support from the personal oppo
nents of Gill who were only too
ready to believe any charges what

This day’s proceedings was an in
dication of the discordant nature or j
the testimony that is being intro- j

so hard to follow. It is adding
more and more to the uncertainty
on every side and the jury will have
a tough problem to solve.

days. The political situation re
mains unchanged. So far no new

that does not mean that the dope

thing may yet stir the town as it

RUSSIA IS NOW
STAT
| BERLIN, March 22.—It is openly
| published in the papers that Russia
I is now in a state of confusion with
j chaos prevailing everywhere and the
; Duma vainly endevoring to obtain
control of the situation,
i The anarchists and social demo
crats are agitating against war on
every side and the workmen have
refused to resume work in the fac
tories. The country is now torn
with a much more serious revolt
than that which was started by the
Duma, workers in the various indus
trial centers aided by the revolu
tionary socialists stirring up strife |
everywhere against the efforts of
the aristorats. It is announced that
it was to placate these that the
Duma leaders after offering the
throne to Grand Duke Michael,
afterwards withdrew the offer.
NEW YORK, March 22.—The
news agencies call attention to the
fact in connection with the German
dispatches describing confusion in
Russia, that it was from Berlin
that the first reports of the Russian
revolution emanated.
BERLIN, March 22.—The Berlin
papers declare that the Entente
and neutral nations know nothing
of the actual conditions in Russia
which are now chaotic to a degree;
that the heavy censorship has never
been lifted and only the ruling clas
ses in the Entente capitals are ac
quainted with the real facts and
know how serious they are. It is
pointed out that the leaders in the
Entente nations carefully refrain
from expressing any optimism over
the situation for they know tho
truth will eventually be learned.

GERMANISTS PLEAD GUILTY
SENDING SPIES ENGLAND
NEW YORK, Marc'ii 22--Sanders
aiul Wunnenberg, two reputed tier
man secret service men today plead
ed guilty to sending .German spies
to England in violation of the neu
trality of the United States. The
court in sentencing them to pay a
fine of two thousand dollars said
that the defendants were fortunate
in that the United States is still at
peace with Germany or the conse
quences of their unneutral conduct
would be very serious in the matter
of punishment.
BERLIN, March 22.—It is offi
| cially announced that the German
raider Moewe returned to its home
station from a second successful raid
lasting several months on the At
lantic. During that time the Moewe
captured twenty-five steamers and
five sailng ships, including the Vol
taire and teh Mount Temple. The
success of this raid, says the Loaal
Anzeiger is unequalled in the annals
of maritime daring at any time in
the history of the world. Such he
roes are legitimately monarchs of
the sea. These congratulatory re
marks are re-echoed in other e'iu- lly
important papers. , i
LONDON, March 22.—The British
Admiralty says that the Moewe re
turned to Kiel on February 27. The
belated official announcement that
Germany is now making may poss
ibly indicate another intended raid
to excuse the denial of the possible
loss of the cruiser.
