The enemy today continued to make raids along the northern section of the battle front for the purpose ot learning what British troops were opposing them., German prisoners, captured April 3, declared that their latest orders were to be ready to push on further, but, so well was the secrec; of the plans pre served, they knew nothing more of rthe impending operations. That there would be another drive shortly how ever, seemed to be the general opin ion. The German casualties in the fight ing in the Albert sector yesterday were very heavy. At numerous places t was possible with the naked eye to see thfm forming for the attack, and in every case the British artillery and machine! guns played havoc among the assembling troops, Near Hebuteme German concen trations were caught in machine gun barrages on three occasions and badly smashed. The British artillery continued 'to pound the Germans all along the bat tle tront. . '3; 1 t , i 1 1 , . . . , Turks Declace British Loss Heavy East of Jordan London. April 7- Advices from Amsterdam say that the Turkish offi cial statement of Thursday reports that the English forces east of the Jordan were completely defeated after suffering heavy casualties. It also was claimed that the Turkish troops had reconquered Es-Salt and wer ad vancing on the Es-Salt-Jericho road, compelled British reinforcements to retreat in disorder and that they are being ptesistentry pursued by the Turks, which came up fro.m the east-' A war office statement characterizes the foregoing statement as exagger ated and distorted. The operations to which it refers were in the nature ot a raid in which considerable losses were inflicted ott the enemy. Seven hun dred prisoners were taken by the Brit ish troops, which withdrew , after achieving their objectives. The rear guard was attacked . by some 500 Turks, aMo were beaten off. Artillery Duels Rage on Franco-German Sector (By AHMltM Frwrt.) With the French Army in France, Aprit 7. The artillery alone made war during the night and eariy this morning, but made jt with great vig or, chiefly in the vicinity of the junc tion ot tne irencn ana cniisn wirere strong enemy concentrations are vis sible. The enemy came into action, seemingly marking time, while taking a rest, perhaps for andther forward tiush here or elsewhere. The present fighting is progressing over a rather broken country, and the Germans are meeting with the fiercest resistance on every insli of it and they are open to counter attacks that are ptrilous for them. The slight fluc tuations in the lines in the, last few days show how the French and Brit ish are taking advantage of ftie natu ral conformation of the ground, while they are strengthening their defensive lines and their artillery.

"Well, it's the sixth inning and the Union Pacific can't retire the side. They need a couple of dozen more men,"- - J ' "What's the score?" asked the scribe. "How should I know," answered the soldier. "I've used all the avail able paper in Sarpy county and I haven't got anything to figure on."

First Methodist Church, Tells of the War Conditions . in Europe. "The poison of Prussianism has gone far into the hearts of the Ger man DeoDle." said Rev. Titus Lowe to a congregation that packed the First Methodist church Sunday morning. "I am compelled to take back the statement that I made a year ago that the true heart of the German people is not backing this war of frightfulness," added Rev. Mr. Lowe. "The prisoners captured by the allies now actually believe in perman kul tur. It has ripped the heart and brain of the masses. "Intolerable arogance has ' been the reply to 'these stupid Americans, whom the Germans believe do not in tend to fight in earnest, but who wor ship gold, as the kaiser puts it. The dream of tht Germans is not yet over." There Doing His Bit. Rev. Mr. Lowe returned last week from France, where he witnessed the true conditions of war while doing his bit to make the burden of the soldiers easier. Sunday nights for sev eral weeks ne will tell of his experi ences. "Watchman, what of the night?" was the text on which the sermon of Rev. Mr. Lowe was based. . The op- pression of the Israelites by the Syrians, who also had dreams of world domination, was compared to present day conditions. Rev. Mr. Lowe has little hope that the war will end within the year and he urged his hearers to prepare themselves for the price that they must pay for victory; He comented upon the fact that there were no service flags in England. The rolls of honor bearing the names of the dead serve their purpose and every where show the great price that the allies'are paying. No Idea of Quitting. "When i we have, sufficient aero planes, guns, and artillery alongside that of our allies," said Rev. Mr. Lowe, "then we shall be the minis trants of chastisement,-and peace and freedom will come to the world. "In Europe there is no idea of quit ting. No one ever talks of peace. A power that attacks wounded men, women, nurses, and doctors canno(t hope really to succeed. It is no accident; it is intent. Its arro gance cannot and will not succeed." Rev. Mr. Lowe received a Ford sedan as a gift from his congregation. "It's a mighty fine looking horse," said the minister in thanking the donors. An admonition not to forget to Vote Tuesday at the primaries pre ceded the Sermon. Honor Flags to Stimulate Rivalry in Loan Campaign Washington, April 8. The Betsy Ross of the third Liberty loan honor flag is J. II. Burton, a wealthy New rk business man, who has devoted all his time for months to developing the nation-wide system of subscrip tion competition represented by the flag. , 'There was too little rivalry in the last loan campaigns," said Mr. Burton to Secretary McAdoo. "We need an emblem to designate the goal of each community and each state." bo he was put to work and evolved the idea of the honor flag, a blue bordered banner with white interior field bearing three vertical blue stripes. Each town or city which passes its allotment of subscriptions will get the flag, and in the years to come, it may be among the com munity's most prizedt relics of the great war. ' The fourth Liberty loan will have a flag with four blue stripes. U. S. Closer to Chile After War, Says Chilec Deputy Santiago De Chile, April 7. Depuy Don Cornelio Saavedra, who has just returned from a seven months' trip in the United States, has predicted in an interview that the United Staes is planning o make its relations with Chile closer after the war. "The situation between Chile and the United States is very satisfactory," said Mr. Saavedra. "Personages of the first rank, such as Mr. McAdoo, rare trying to bring the two countries closer together, and it is certain that as soon as the war is over a large amount of capital, will come into Chile from the United States to promote in dustry and commerce." Mr. Saavedra is -trying to persuade the government or business interests to establish a Chilean commercial agency in New York.

FRENCH GRATEFUL FOR PARTM TAKES High Commissioner to America Addresses New York Gather ,ing; Liberty,, Justice and Democracy at Stake. . New York, April 7. The gratitude of France for the part which Ameri can troops are taking in the battle of Picardy was expressed to the Ameri can people by Andre Tardieu, French high , commissioner in the United States in an address here today be fore the French institute. The oc casion was the institute's celebration of the anniversary of this nation's en try into the war. Myron T. Herrick, former American ambassador to France presided. "Keener than ever, during the past fortnight, during these bloody and heavy days, I have felt that whenever America chooses to give herself she gives the whole of herself," M. Tard ieu said. "I am grateful for and I have been moved by, the acceptance of urgent requests whichi on account of this battle it was my duty to sub mit to your government.' "On this memorial day, in tlv name of France who feels highly honored by the regard of her great European and American allies, I have come here to state again our unshaken resolve." America by her immense .effort at home, is paying "a just tribute" to the allied arms in Picardy, Commis sioner Tardieu said, and the partici pation of the American troops there was worthy of America. For the sake of three words, liberty, justice and democracy, he declared, the allies had resolved to win." r THE WAR SPIRIT Coat-Time Gladness for You EVERY MISER HELPS THE .1812 FARNAM STREET.
