positions. If by launching a series
of assaults, on these positions they
will not only, have driven them to
tho last high gound protecting Ypres
but will compel them to evacuate
Ypres also.
The thrusts, upon the Ypres posi
tions, have been followed by at
tempts to break the allied front at
Locre, about eight miles to the
Southwest of Ypres, but were re
pulsed with heavy losses.

beside the French in. the front line
between the Somme and Avre

MOONEY SENDS
MESSAGE TO PRES.
SAN FRANCISCO April 29—Thom
as Mooney who is now under sentence
of death has sent a message to Presi
dent Wilson, in which lie slates that
ho 'personally has not advocated any
strike for May first. Mooney says
that he has telegraphed to the Union
leaders warning them not to strike.
He does not wish and strike to be
called as a protest against conviction,
believing perhaps that such action tok
en at this time might, to a certain ex
tent hamper the action of Governor
Stephens. Mooney advises President
Wilson that if any strikes are called
on his behalf, on May first, they will
be called without his consent.
(A few days ago the gang tried to
get Mconey’s consent to a compromise
on his sentence. They wanted him to
accept life imprisonment instead of
death. Mooney showed himself a man,
worthy of being called a man, not ac
cording to the standard of hypocrites
and parasites, who woiyd reverse the
American Constitution, and hold a
man as guilty until he proves his in
nocence beyond the shadow of a
doubt. But this is I be common prac
tice in the courts, to nullify the acts
of Congress, and State legislature.
This practice was begun by one of
the Chief Justices of the United States
Supreme Court. He wtts Chief Jus
tice of the highest Court in the land,
from his decision there was no appeal
except to Anarchy. Other Courts
were eager to follow his example in
aggrandizing their profession by
gradually increasing their purisdiction
and influence and authority. “Are Our
Judges Our Masters or Our Servants?’*
GERMANY WILL FORCE
RUSSIA TO ACT
WASHINGTON, April 29—The
State Department announces that it
has received information to the effect
that Germany is about to force the
hand of the Russian Government.
Germany it is understood, intends to
serve an ultimatum on the Russian
Government in which she demands
the immediate release of all able
bodied German war prisoners.
Germany threatens that unless Rus
sia agrees to release these prisoners
at once sihe will send her armies to
take Petrograd.
Russia is supposed to have between
2,000,000 and 3,000,000 German and
Austrian prisoners of war at the pres
ent time in different parts of Siberia.
If these men should be set free by
Russia, it would be a heavy blow to
the allies who have at present just
about cheeked the German advance.
(After all the vile insults heaped
upon the Russian Bolsheviki Govern
ment, by the yellow press of England
and America, the Bolsheviki go
marching on, believing in the right,
they have shown their steadfast cour
age in doiaig right, despite the har
pies) Bd.
Sulzer ignored his constituents
here by sending (hem no copies of
his Fisheries or Territorial Bills,
which were introduced in January.
It is evident he did not want them
to read the hills.
