TONY DEFATE AND
HANFORD ACCEPT
TERMS IN OMAHA
Shortstop From St. Paul and
Outfielder From Richmond
Sign Rourke Contracts;
( Both Stars.
Clydt Defate, infielder, and Charles
Hanford, outfielder, have signed
Omaha! base ball club contracts, ac-
cording to announcement by Manager
Bill Jackson.
Defate comes from the St. Paul
club. He was in the Western league
with Topeka two yean ago and made
a good impression with Omaha fans
during; his engagements In this city.
He is a fast fielding shortstop and a
good hitter.
Defate went to the big show from
Topeka and he was considered such
a good prospect the St. Louis Browns
and the Detroit Tigers got into a
fieht over his services. St. Louis had
possession and kept him until a Na
tional commission decision was made.
Detroit received the verdict and De
late accordingly was sent K the
Tigers. The Tigers shipped him to
St. Paul shortly afterwards.
Apparently, the scrap over his
lervices had a bad effect on Defate, for
he began to slip and St. Paul offered
to trade him and Boardman, a south
paw, hurlcr, to Omaha for Marty
krug. ;
Krug Join Army.
Then Louisville refused to -give
waivers on Boardman and the deal
was held up. And now Marty Krug
has advised that he is about to join
the army and will not report to St.
Paul or any place else this year. So
that deal was called off entirely.
But: St, Paul released Defate to
Omaha anyhow, so Jacksoft has a
star shortstop tor his infield.
Defate is only a youngster. He is
an -Italian and his nickname is Tony.
Jackson believes he will be a star in
the Western this year as he was two
years, ago. with Topeka and that he
will ea'rtt another trial under the big
tCnt' '''f Hanford Ex-Fed.
Hanford is a veteran outfielder and
an ex-Federal. He comes from Rich
mond of the now defunct) Interna
tional league. ' ;
In all his career, Hanford bas play
ed lessj than Class AA ball only once.
That was two years ago when he
played the last part of the season
under Jackson at Peoria and helped
Peoriajwin a flag.
Hanford was one of the first play
ers to jump to the Feds and he was
a regular in thai organization all dur
ing itsf short career. He, is a long
slugget ! and a fancy outfielder and
Jackson says he will be one of the
best iil the league this year.

FRENCH MAINTAIN JUNCTION
BETWEEN ALLIED ARMIES BY
GREAT FIGHT;RETIRE SLOWLY
(By Associated Press.)
With the French Armies in France, March 29. Fresh German
troops were thrown today against the French army maintaining the
junction between the French and British lines, and notwithstanding the
determined stand made by the French, they were forced to retire to
ward the west, the Germans breaking through at Montdidier (and oc
cupying that place. Further south, the French held well, resisting all
the German efforts.
In the rear of the French army the movements were so intense
that it was impossible to approach the firing line. Notwithstanding the
continued advance of the Germans the battle has become more or less
stabilized in thejast two days. The French are pushing northward in
order to keep in close touch with the British, who had been forced back
by overwhelming numbers.
FRENCH RELIEVE BRITISH.
French troops have relieved part of the British line. Nothing as
yet has been allowed to develop regarding the intentions of the entente
allied commanders, but it is certain that at an opportune moment they
will make a counter stroke. The general idea of the battle as far as it
has gone shows that the Germans chose to make their principal attack
against the British front. At the same time they made a demonstration
just where the two armies, French and British, join.
The German succeeded in making a breach in the British line,
which the French forces closed, first sending cavalry to fill the gap. The
Germans had carefully prepared for this offensive, whole divisions and
army corps rehearsing the parts they were to play when the moment
came.
GERMANSn LAUNCH SLAUGHTER.
Just before the assault, the British lines were deluged with shells
for a short period and with projectiles charged with noxious gasses.
Then came thick waves of infantry, closely following one another. The
first waves, or what remained of them, reached their objectives and held
on until further waves came along and cleaned up the islets of British,
who were holding out with obstinacy, using for that purpose jets of
liquid flame. - '
Reinforcements joined the Germans, and from the captured first
British line a murderous fire with rifles, machine guns and automatics
was opened on the rear lines of the British. This rain of death was so
deadly as to overpower the British reserves, who could not see whence
it Came and were unable to advance, owing to the severity of this fire.
ATTACK UPON ARRAS OPENS
SECOND: STAGE OF BATTLE
By ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
London, March 29. (Special Cable
gram to Omaha Bee and New York
Tribune.) The Germans have begun
a new attack in the Arras sector,
widening their battle front by another
10 miles. .
A violent bombardment of the Brit'
ish line, which runs six miles east of
this Datterea frencn city, preceaea tne
... N v . mm.
infantry attack.
There are three reasons for a drive
in this quarter. The German line was
beginning to form a rather sharp
salient south of Arras. The main en
emy attack has been checked in the
Albert sector, and he can hope for lit
tle progress until the artillery catches
up. The enemy evidently believes that
the British have withdrawn their
troops from the Arras sector to sup
port Haig's army.
SECOND STAGE OPENS.
The new offensive which opened
the eighth day of the battle of Picardy
must be considered as definitely
marking the second stage of the co
lossal struggle in which approximately
2,000,000 coldiers are engaged. The
Germans won a considerable success
against the French during the night,
capturing Mantdidier, 11 miles south
west of Royt, an important road and
railway center.
fiy massing huge forces at the Junc
tion of the allied armies the Germans
have bore them back so that the
French now are occupying the heights
to the westward of tins ancient town.
This necessitates considerable read
justment and brings the enerny dan
gerously close to the Amiens-Paris
line.
All reports indicate that the Anglo
French forces are still in alignment
and, although their line begins to
bulge dangerously southwest of Ami
ens, the enemy b still far from win
ning a strategic success.'
Fresh allied divisions are being
rushed into ihe breach to meet each
new attack of the enemy, whose sup
ply of soldiers seems inexhaustible.
The 'French' line is being bent
back west of Noyon so that the
safety of Conipcigne is becoming a
serious, consideration.
The advance toward Montdidier
measures approximately seven miles.
Except north of Beaumont, the
enemy has pushed beyond the 1916
line at every point between Arras and
Noyon.
Hold Natural Defense.
The strong natural defenses run
ning from Arras to Albert are held
tenaciously by the British, and the
road to Amiens, which has been the
fringe of the battlefield since von
Kluck occupied it a few days before
his defeat at the Mame, promises to
offer the Germans many obstacles.
Since Saturday night the enemy has
been working frantically to advance
his artillery which has failed to keep
pace with the infantry.
By his attack at Arras he hopes to
divert the allied reserves from the
main front and also to gain time in
which to bring up his guns.
Uses Grant's Tactics.
Ludcndorffs' tactics are similar to
those of Grant before Richmond. It
is the first time on the west front
that this system has been tried,
simply because hitherto no com.
mander has had such colossal forces
with which to gamble.
Tr ie nimflirr nroof that tli t-..i.-...
is making his final effort of the war.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans also will attack in the
Rheims sector.
Not less than 100 divisions, or half
of the German army in the west arc
either on or near the battle front.
The original attacking force has
been about doubled and the ,enemys'
casualties have been greater Ithan in
any battle of the war."
Rain Sweeps Field.
This is purely the kaiser's battle.
There are a quarter of , a million
Austrians in France, but these are
holding a quiet sector of the front.
Though a high wind and a driving
rain are sweeping over, the fields of
Picardy, not even the aviators have
been stopped by the elements in their
desperate battle.
A change in the weather has been
a slight advantage to the allies. But
individually the soldiers suffer, if
possible, greater hardships during the
rainy nights without even the pro
tection available in trench warfare.

JAPANESE SHIPS
IN EXCHANGE FOR
STEELFRQM U. S.
Under Agreement Between Na
tions Twelve Steamers of
100,000 Tons Capacity
to Fly U. S. Flag.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, March 29. Under the
agreement between the1 United States
and Japanese ship builders, 12 big
steamers of about 100,000 tons dead
weight capacity, soon will be brought
under the American flag in return for
supplies of steel.
In formally announcing the agree
ment tonight the War Trade board let
it be known that through negotiations
now in progress it hopes to have
Japanese builders turn over 200,000
tons of new construction with steel
furnished by the United States.
The board issued this statement:
"Arrangements have now been
made as a result of the negotiations
between the United States and Japa
nese ship builders for the purchase of
12 Japanese ships of approximately
100,000 tons dead weight capacity,
which wilt be added to the fleet of the
United States Shipping board within
the next few month's. All of the ves
sels are large modern steamers of 6,-
000 tons or over with one exception
and none over two years old. Some
indeed are still awaiting completion.
To Begin in May.
"Deliveries of the ships at Ameri
can pbrts are to begin not later than
May, and to be finished in (September,
a progressively higher price per ton
to be paid according to the month of
delivery as a premium on early de
liveries. "In return for the sale of the ships
the War Trade Board has agreed to
deliver to the Japanese ship builders
a corresponding amount of steel for
ship building, ton for ton against de
livery of the ships.
"Further negotiations are in prog
ress to secure from Japanese ship
builders 200,000 additional tons of new
construction, the ships to le built in
return for new steel placed at the dis
posal of the bui'ders by the War
Trade board. Recent editorials in
such papers as the Jiji Sliimpo of
Tokio, show an encouraging disposi
tion in regard to the furnishing of
tonnage for allied war needs
