ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SERVICE
Their 7.Vs Follow Infantry Closely
and Make Big Slaughter
Prisoners 11,000.
Paris, April 18, 2:1" p. n. Impor
tant progress vas made last night by
the French in their attach east of
Suissons. The war ofiice announces
the capture of Chavonne and Chivy.
The French pushed on noi-th of these
points, reaching the vicinity of Braye-Kn-Laon:iois
commanding the region.
From their new positions the
French now look down upon Moron
vhikis and Nauroy. This Moronvil
lie:s tlaiin of hills was rer:ariled by
the French soldiers who had ever been
in the section as virtually impregna
ble, and its capture caused the live
liest satisfaction to everybody. The
7"'s followed up the infantry rapidly
and were soon in action. They caught
larire bodies of the enemy massing
with the object of making a diversion
and decimated them.
Slaughter Was Heavy.
According to onlookers such car
rage had not been seen since the ac
tion of Charme (lap at the beginning
of the war.
Tbe invaders we-e exceptionally
v.iM placed along a series of wooded
heights, varying in height from C00 to
S0O feet and running north along the
main load from Ichc-ims to St. IliFare-J.e-Grand.
The Germans were well
nvT.ro that an attack was coming and
h-d made full preparation for it. The
French attack, however, was delivered
with such skill and vigor that the de
fenders, disheartened by a long and
f-nioas preliminary bombardment,
broke ground after a reasonably stiff
resistance and the whole line fell into
the hands of the French. South of
?.Tt.nop.villieres the impetus of the at
tackers carried them clean through
the first line into the second line sys
tem, which centered at Ilont Ilaut.
This summit, 8."0 feet high, was
stormed.
Ccnsclidatirg Ground.
In the meantime, on the Soissons
Rhoims fixuvt the French troops are
busy organizing the captured ground
won in the first day of the battl.- an 1 !
repulsing fierce counter attacks. Over!
tne;r neaus a storm oi artinery nre is
preparing the way for another drive
against the Germans in the positions
to which they retired yesterday.
On the i ight wing the struggle was
equally to the advantage of the
French. Aubcrive, on which the left
wing of the Champagn offensive of
ir15 broke, fell speedily, as well as
all the surrounding works. The
French made especially good progress
north of Av.berive. In the section
oast of Vauderincourt, hill 112 was
stormed, as well as a small wood
east of the hill which was a regular
nest of German machine guns.
Four Miles in Depth.
A.t certain points the advance was
close upon four miles in depth. The
latest news leaching Paris says the
battle continued well into the night,
the Germans counter attacking- with
out success and the French recon
ducting the trench systems under
the cover of their artillery.
According to information from a re
liable source the double offensive of
the British north of Arras and of the
French on the Aisne disarranged the
German plans. Field Marshal Hin
denburg, it is declared, was prepar
ing an offensive against Riga and an
other against Italy, while on the west
ern front he was considering an at
tempt on Calais on the one hand and
on Paris on the other. The allied
western offensive spoiled all this by
obliging him to bring back a large
part of the effectives intended for the
Russian and Italian fronts.
Counter Attacks Repulsed.
The Germans made three desperate
counter attacks in the Champagne
last night. They were checked by
the French, who inflicted heavy losses
on the attacking troops. Since Mon
day the French have captured up
wards of 14,000 unwounded Germans.
In the Champagne large numbers" of
machine guns and trench mortars
have been captured and alo twe've
cannon, including three of large caliber.
Another very successful meeting
was held last evening at the First
Methodist church in the series of re
vival services that are being held by
Rev. T. A. Truscott, and a very large
congregation was present to enjoy the
interesting sermon and the musical
program given as a part of the serv
ices. This evening the subject se
lected by the pastor will be "The Sac
rifice of God Are a Broken Spirit and
Contrietv Heart." The services are
growing in interest and drawing
larger congregations to enjoy them.
125.000 MEN
ARE STRIKING
CITY OF BERLIN
Vorwearts Says It Is for Foot!, for
Peace and Political Reforms.
Von Reventlow Says That Only Vic
tory Can Save the Hohenzol
lern Throne.
Amsterdam, Via London, April 18,
11 a. m. Count von Reventlow, writ
ing in the Tages Zeitung, asserts that
victory is necessary if the German
monarch is to endure. He says:
"We have long expressed the view
that German victory and the German
monarchy are mutually dependent.
Without a German victory the Ger
man monarchy will soon cease to exist."
RULES FOR FLY

War Department Approves Rej-ula-.

Society. j
Special Notice.
Foley Cathartic Tablets thoroughly
cleanse the bowels, remove undigested
waste matter, sweeten the stomach
and tone up the liver. Do not gripe
nor neuseate. Stout persons praise
Foley Cathartic Tablets for the light,
free' and comfortable feeling they

habit." Sold everywhere.
Copenhagen, April 17, Via Lon
don, April 18. The number of strik
ers in Berlin is placed in even the
semi-official report at 125,000 anil is
distributed, according to the Tage
blatt, through machine works, some
electrical establishments anel a part
of munition plants.
The latter statement is interesting
in view ef a dispatch from the offi
cial news bureau, denying that the
munition factories were affected. The
Tageblatt says, however, that the
great munition industry at Spandau
has not been involved.
Report in all the Berlin newspapers
which have arrived here agree that
the demonstrators were usually order
ly, although roughs resorted to occas
ional window breaking in the Unter
Den Linden, the Frederich and Leip
sicstrasses and other central thor
oughfares. Soldiers as well as po
lice were used in condons thrown
about Unter Den Linden and the im
perial castle.
Great crowds gathered in the!
neighborhood of the castle during the
elay and the temper of the. crowd par
ticularly the women, is described as
very bitter. The strikers denounced
the farmers, the wholesalers and the
government in equal measure for re
sponsibility for the food situation.
Even socialist leaders who opposetl
the strike, made it evident to the
authorities that further curtailment
of rations from any cause could not
be borne.
Labor representatives interviewed
Lord Mayor Wermuth and the Prus
sian food commissioner, Michaelis,
yesterday. They were given an as
surance in regard to food which it is
hoped will induce workmen to aban
don the strike.
The Vorwaerts alone of the big
Berlin papers, ventured this morning
to comment editorially on the strike,
said that the demonstration was
based not only on the food situation
and the demand that international re
forms be no longer delayed, but also
on the deep longing of the people
for peace.
While claiming that the peace sen
timent has a decisive role in the
movement, the Vorwaerts argues that
the strike cannot be regarded as anti
governmental, since the "Austrian
and German declarations justify the
hope that the policy of the central
powers is now on a path which will
soon lead to peace."
The paper laments the fact that the
demonstration will have exactly the
opposite effect probably from that
desired by encouraging Germany's
opponents to continue the war and by
diminishing the output of munitions.
It also reprets that among other
excesses a crowd gathered in front
of the vacant British embassy, yelling
and catcalling.
No reports of a strike movement in
labor centers outside Berlin have
been received as yet. A Kiel dis
patch says that the radical anti-war
party got control of the greater Kiel
socialist convention and passed reso
lutions against voting war credits.
Another sidelight comes from Munich,
where a woman teacher was put on
trial for "pacifist intrigues." She
was acquitted on the ground that she
was demented from over-strain.

Everbody i.s waving the flag ami
shouting the national anthem these
days, but not half the people who are!
displaying flags know which way to
hang them; and if you want to start;
an argument all you have to do is to
proclaim positively that any one of a :
number of songs i.s the national an-,
them. 1
The War Department has issued to
the army divisions instructions con-;
cerning the flag in the soldier's life,
but the regulations are not extended
to include the flying of the flag by '
civilians. The department has plac-,
oil w:int!rn nnnn 4Vio ft Om-1 n ir i'kc- !
.ili' ..iwii uri;ii kliv. J V'll'i i jji IV
ulations issued by the Society of Pa
triotic Decorations and Civic Im
provements :
The flag should be raised at sun
rise, or after; never before.
The flag must be lowered at sun
set. It is a mark of direspect to fly
the flag thru the night.
When used out of doors the flag
should always fly in the breeze.
Whenever possible is should be flown j
from a staff or mast, but should not J
be fastened to the side of the build-!
ing, platform or scaffolding. It
should not.be used as a cover for a
table, desk or boL and where any
thing can be placed upon it.
When used as a banner, the union
(the blue field) should fly to the!
north in east-and-west streets and to
the east in north-and-south streets.
The flag should not be draped or
used for clusters and drapings out of!
eloors. Indoors, it may be combined -
with bunting for draping or draped
alone, but is should never be hung
below the height of a person sitting.
When the flag is at half-mast as a
sign of mourning, it should be raised
at the conclusion of the funeral.
When the flag is to be lowered to
half-mast,or to be lowered for the
evening, or lowered after having Leen
at half-mast it should first be raised
to full stalf.
The flag should never touch the
ground.
The flag should be displayed at full
staff on these holidays: Lincoln's
birthday, Feb. 12; Washington's
birthday, Feb 22; inauguration day,
May 4 battle of Lexington, April l'J;
battle of Manila Bay, May 1; Memo
rial day, May 30; flag day, June 14;
battle of Bunker Hill, June 17; Inde
pendence day, July 4; Labor day;

of Yorktown, Oct. 19.
On Memorial day the flag should
fly at half-staff from sunrise to
noon and at full staff from noon
to sunset.
When the flag is used for unveiling
monuments it should not be allowed
to fall to the ground, but should be
carried aloft to remain during the
ceremonies.
When the flag is laid on a bier or
coffin the stars should be at the head
of the bier.
To these regulations the Aemriean
Flag Day Society, thru its national
president, Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand of
Batavia, 111., add these:
When a flag is hung on a wall the
union should be to the left of the
person facing the -wall.
The union should always be up,
whether the stripes are horizontal
or perpendicular.
In the display of bunting the blue
should be placed at the top, the
white in the middle ar.d the red be
neath. Other organizations have
said the blue should be below, but
Dr. Cigrand justifies his point by re
ference to the heraldic laws of the
symbol, which require the blue basic
field to be always to the right and to
the top.
To these requirement others have
added also further rules for the flag:
The union of the flag down is a
signal of distress.
When hung across a street the flag
should be hung at an equal distance
from each side.
United States laws forbid the use
of the flag in trade-marks.
On the death of a President the
flag -is flown at half-mast for one
day only.
Now go out and see how much the
Americans know about flying their
flags.
War department regulations pro
vide that men in the army shall stand
when the national anthem is played.
Captain William Bryden, aid to Ma
jor General Thomas II. Barry, U. S. i
A., commanding the central division,
says this applies only to "The Star
Spangled Banner." which, he de
declares, is the only recognized na
tional anthem. "The Star-Spangled!
