ENTENTE AIRPLANES
ATTACK FREIBURG
S&id ii in Retaliation of Sink
inj of British Hoipital Ship
Gloucester Castle.
EIJEVZN PZSSONS KILLED
Berlin, April 17 (Via London) An
official announcement by the war of
fice aayi that eleven persona have
been killed, twenty-nine injured and
considerable damage done to the uni
versity building by an air attack on
Freiburg.
The official atatement follows:
"On Saturday at noon an enemy air
squadron of twelve airplanes attacked
the open town of Freiburg in Breis-
gau. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
attack was repeated by two further
squadrons, totaling twenty-three air-olanes.
"To this nefarious attack several
people unfortunately fell victims.
Seven women, three men and one sol
dier were killed and seventeen women,
eight men and two children injured.
"The enemy airmen selected as ob
iectives the new municipal theater, in
stitutes and infirmaries. The anatomy
section of the university was consid
erably damaged. Owing to our ef
fective counter measures the attacks
could not be fully executed.
"In the course of air battles which
resulted two enemy airmen were shot
down near Schlettstadt and Markirch.
A third was shot down in an air bat
tle combined with a bombardment
- from the ground. All three airplanes
were of English type with tngluh oc
cupants. Defend Attack on Hospital Ship.
The leader of the attack, an Eng
lish lieutenant colonel, fell into our
hands. According to his statement
and the contents of a fly sheet which
was thrown down, the attack was in
reprisal for the torpedoing of the
Gloucester Castle (British hospital
hospital ship), recently sunk by a
German submarine. We must reso
lutely contest the right to make such
attacks. In justification our govern-'
ment gave England to understand in
time enough that it could not longer
tolerate the passage of to-called hos
pital ships in the previously defined
zone. If the English, despite - our
warning, misuse the Red Cross and
carry it on transports in tne war tone
they must bear the consequences of
their action; but to attack an open
town for revenge' is cheap glory.
There are no objects of military im
portance in Freiburg to justify the
attack." ' ,
A British admiralty statement Is
sued last night stated that a large
squadron of British and French air
planes had bombarded Freiburg on
Saturday. It was .stated . that the
bombardment was a reprisat for Ger
man submarine attacks on British hos
pital ships. .
NEW RUSH NETS '
FRENCH MILES .
OF ENEMY LINE
(Contlauo Fma Pat Oh.)
ing Paris the Germans are bombard
ing the lost trenches furiously, coun
ter attack after counter attack having
been delivered far into the night
The struggle is particularly fierce in
the- region of Craonne, but the
French have so far managed to hold
their gains. The French advance av
erages in depth from two to two and
a half miles beyond the German first
position, which is composed of lines
of five and six trenches, one behind
another. ,
Greater Victory Than Somms.
Measured by the amount of terri
tory freed, the victory does not com
pare with tha Somxe offensive, which
opened a month ago, but viewed from
the amount of destruction done to the
enemy's armed forcea and the dam
age to his military prestige, it is a
far greater auccess. Hera there can
be no question cither of previously
planned retreat or a aurprise. The
enemy expected an attack and made
every precaution to defeat it
From Soiasons to Craonne the Ger
man line runs along a aeries of hills
of an average height of 500 feet, with
deep valleys between. The attackers
advanced up the valleys under a croaa
fire from each flank, but the artillery
curtain, on a new plan invented by
a British general, waa ao effective that
the operation waa carried put at less
cost than was expected.
The weak point of the German line
it from Craonne to Rheims, where the
ground is mora level Hera the at
tack made more progress and the
danger of a rupture of the line be
came ao imminent that the Germans
threw in all available reserves. Tha
reserves were smashed by the French
field of artillery, which kept close on
the beela of the waves of infantry.
British Advance at Epehy.
London, April 17. The British
made a further advance in the neigh
borhood of Epehy last night, accord
ing to an official statement issued by
the war office. Rain storms are ham
pering operations.
The British gain was effected east
of the Peronne-Cambrai railroad at a
point about half way between St
Cjuentin and Cambrai. The atate
ment reads:
"In the neighborhod of Epehy we
captured during the night Le Tom
bers farm, on the Lempire-Vendhuil'e
road, and gained ground along the
spur northeast of Epehy station. We
took a few prisoners.
"The weather continues stormy,
with high winds and squalls of rain."
Berlin Reports Success.
Berlin, April 17. (Via London.)
The French forcea failed with heavy
casualties to break through the Ger
man line along the Aisne and did
not renew their attacks, says the war
office statement thtis evening. On
both sides of Auberive in Champagne
hard fighting was in progress th.fjugh
out Tuesday, sayt the statement
"One of the greatest battles of the
the world'a history," says an earlier
statement issued by the German army
headquarters' staff, "is in progress on
he river Aisne."
"In the Champagne this morning,"
the Serman statement adds. "fiKhtinir
between Prunsy and Auberive devel
oped, 'the battle line thereby extend
ing from the River Oisne into t!.e
Champagne.
"Our troops anticipate with entire
conhdence the coming heavy fight
ing.
"A great French attempt to break
through yesterday, the object of
which was tar reaching, failed, ac
cording to the German announce
ment. "The losses of the enemy were
heavy. More t an 2,100 prisoners re
mained in our hands.
"Where the enemy at a few places
penetrated into our line, fighting still
continues, and Iresh enemy attacks are
expected.
