A fur ther bearish influence was the fact that the movement to primary points conltnued materially In- excess ot laat year.

MADE-IN AMERICA TANKS PLAY BIG PART JN BATTLE Canadians on One Car, Sur rounded by Germans, Die Fighting With Machine Gun Barrels. . critisn Army neaaqoarters in " . A W W France, April 1. Canadian armored motor cars with rapid firers have play. ed an important part in checking the Oerman rush. , Up to the time of the present battle they were used but little, but in the last ten days these cars, which--were made in America, have performed val uable work. Frequently they have held ud Iarere bodies of German troops on being rushed to threatened carts of the front. Their presence has had a won derfully steadying effect on the Brit ish lines. One of these armored cars found it self in a certain village filled with German infantry. All the crew were killed with the exception of the driver and one gunner. When the capture of the' car seemed certain the gunner took heavy rapid-firer to the ground, where he held off large num bers of the enemy until the driver was able to turn the automobile around. This done, the machine gun was thrown into the car and the two men sped away. The battery of another car which had dismounted and was fighting the Germans with machine guns, ran out of ammunition. The Germans closed in, coming up to tuch a short distance that they were shooting with revol vers. The situation was hopeless, but the gallant Canadians were not to be taken alive. They 6eized soare barrels of machine guns and charged the Gerv mans with , these weapons.. They, of course, were no match tor an enemy heavily armed and all of them were killed. Start Trial of 1131.

"I never saw such a scramble. I know lots of the folks that travel on this line and more than half the regular ridtrs on this 8 o'clock trip have missed me this morning for the first time in years. Didn t wake up in time. Lit tie old clocks set an hour ahead, but the little old sun getting up the same time as usual and the little old people doing the same thing. Oh, well, they II have a good alibi, anyway, when they get down to work." Arthur Thomas, manager of the Omaha publicity bureau, says the change of time date must have been hit on as an inspiration. "The sun hath made April fools of us all," he said, paraphrasing Shake speare. "When I woke up Monday morning and noted the' condition of daylight I arose and dressed leisure ly. Then I looked at my watch and I found that time was an hour later than it should be. I consulted a clock and then I suddenly remem bered the well-known, but easily-forgotten daylight saving plan, which had gone into effect. At that, I guess, L-was only one of thousands of April fools in Omaha." With the street railway company the adopting ofthe daylight saving plan was easy, according to General ENEMY AT GREAT PAINS TO LEARN SAMMIEHACTICS Captured German Document Reveals Efforts of Leaders to Discover Details of American Warfare. With the American Army in France, Sunday, March 31. German army leaders are exceedingly anxious to obtain information concerning the most minute detail of the American army. , This is disclosed by a captured Ger man document issued to the Fifth Bavarian landwehr infantry brigade and which instructs every observer and patrol to endeavor "to bring in formation about the new enemy." The results obtained are to be added to official reports. The captured document starts out by giving details that are known, such as those regarding the American uni form, and adds that the infantry is equipped partly with English rifles and that the artillery probably has French guns. It says that American troops will continue training in France, adding: "Nothing is known as yet about the methods of fighting or leadership." , V Get Every Detail. 1 "From the preceding meager de llfl " if rAnftni4A0' if a aullani 4U tails, it continues, "it is evident that sectors K and M have the honorable task of obtaining as much information as possible on particular features of American 'fighting and his oufpost tactics. This will then box used for extending the information bulletin. Any observation or identification, however insignificant, may be of the greatest value in connection with in formation already at hand." Attention then is drawn to "self evident" questions, which observers, patrols and outposts are .expected to find answers for. Under the heading, "The Enemy's Security," the docu ment says: "Are sentry posts sentry posts or stronger posts? Further advanced reconnoitering patrols? Manner of challenging? Behavior on post dur ing day and night? Vigilance? Am bush and cunning? Study United States Signals. "Do they shoot and signal on every occasion? Do the posts hold; their ground on the approach of a patrol or do they fall back? Do they give bar rage fire signals? "When are the re liefs and what is the behavior during them? Have they any light sienals other than French ones?"' Under "Enemy Patrols," the docu ment asks details on "strength, meth ods ot advance, behavior onNmeetine and initiative.'. These questions come under information . on general be- havior: "Are the Americans careful and cautious? And are they careful or noisy? What is their behavior dur ing smoke screens? What is their behavior at meal times? When are these? -Can concentration be ob served? Is there muth reconnoiter ing? How is the behavior day and night? Is there much, machine gun firing? Is there more or less trans port of material than formerly?" Gather, United States Bullets. The Germans also want to know whether during reliefs there are more troops in the rear than is customary with the French and what are the times and sounds of reliefs. "It is said that used infantry and machine gun bullets, unexploded shells and shell splinters are of special value. The Germans want to know whether the copper rotating bands have sharp incisions, indicating new or worn out guns, the caliber of which can be de termined by the curvators of the splinters, according to the document. Information regarding the color and outside appearance of projectile fired by the Americans also is dqsired. The German soldiers are ordered to keep fuses, splinters of shells and shell bases having factory initials and numbers. -- . - Compared with French. Under the heading, "Enemy Shell ing, tney are asked the American ecuyanties compared with the 'rench, what objectives are preferred and whether the dugouts are shelled. TheNdocument asks also that it be de termined whether the Americans em ploy bursts of flame or single shots at. fixed intervals, and what is the normal firing rate when observation is good. . Many of the above items, while ap parently trivial, it is pointed out bV Manager Smith. It was this way. said Mr. Smith: , "When the men left their trains Saturday night, the foremen at the barns simply told them to turn their clocks and watches ahead an hour and report as usual Sunday morning and thereafter. They did so and the new plan is working to perfection." Mayor Dahlman arrived at the city hall at 7:30 Monday morning.

CANADIANS AT VIMY, SCENE OF FIGHTYEAR AGO Canadian Army Headquarters In the Field, April 1. On Easter Mon day, a year ago, Canadian soldiers, moving mightily to the attack, cap tured Vimy ridge. This Easter Mon day the soldiers of the dominion are united with the British troops north of the Scarpe in defense of the south ern flanks of these Heights, which dominate so much of the vital areas of northern France. At 3:45 o'clock, at 4:30 o'clock and again at 5 o'clock the southern flank of Vimy, stretching out toward Ar ras, was alive with fire from our guns, which rained shells on the enemy's front lines, communication trenches and assembly areas; Our strokes were directed chiefly upon hostile communications, our machine guns maintained a hail of fire across No Man s land and s upon the enemy's front line, while our heavv artillerv kept tip a harrassing fire for two hours, increasing to battle barrage at stated times, when every gun was fir ing shell upon shell as fast as they could be fed to them. BLAME FRENCH IFJHURCHES Hit, SAYS 'PRUSSIANS London, April 1. Speaking of the loss of life in a Paris church from a shell fired by a long range German gun, a semi-official Berlin dispatch, forwarded from Amsterdam by the Central News, says it is to be de plored, but that every church within an attacked fortress necessarily is sub ject to incidental hits. The responsibility for the security of the inhabitants of Paris, the dis patch says, must rest with the French government. Rome, April, 1. Pope Benedict ex pressed deep concern at the loss of life in the Paris church which was struck by a German' shell. The pope visited Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state, who is con fined to bed with a cold, and discussed with him the attitude which the Vati can should take. It is felt that the situation has assumed a new aspect, inasmuch as shells from guns, instead of bombs from airplanes, aje , being used to bombard Paris. Mr$. Alfred MOmS, Former . . - .
