Petain’s Men Then Launch Savage Counter Attack and Force
Huns Out or Positions—Briiish Give Ground, But
Stubbornly Block Enveloping Maneuver.
Amsterdam, April 5.—An Austrian offensive against Italy is im
pending, Budapest newspapers declare, quoting “authoritative
sources.”
Washington, I). C., April 5.—Unusual activity along the entire
Italian front was reported at the Italian embassy today, following the
receipt of an official war bulletin from Itome. It was announced that
enemy patrols were routed at numerous points.
The French lines have held below Amiens and the Germans have
been defeated with great losses in what probably constituted their most
desperate effort yet, to break in and cut off the communications of this |
important base from the south. Similarly, to the east of Amiens the
British have maintained a strong defense and prevented the Germans
from making any important headway here.
This battle, which raged yesterday and virtually all last night,
was fought along a line of approximately 30 miles south of the Somme, j
Today, according to unofficial dispatches, the Germans switched their j
attack to the nortii of the river and engaged the British along a front of
17 miles, but again were unable to make any progress, except a slight
advance near the river.
In the great battle to the .south of the Somme the contending armies
fought with fluctuating fortunes, the French giving some ground in the j
northerly sector of their battle area, but closing the engagement with
’ their line not only standing where it was along its southerly course,
but even advanced in one or two sectors where the Germans had been
violently thrown back.
As a whole, the entente line may be considered, as the French
official statement puts it. maintained in its entirety. So far the Ger
man objective south of Amiens, the railway line to Clermont, is con
cerned, the stupendous German effort resulted merely in a slight
projection of the fighting front.

Paris, April 6.—A German attack <>n
French positions southeast of Amiens
with 1S0.000 men. nearly half of which
were fresh, was wholly frustrated, the
French war office reported today. The
assault had for its object the capture
of an important railway. The com
munique described the enemy casual
ties as '’cruel."
French forces drove the Germans
back in the neighborhood of Moreuil
and recaptured several important posi-l
tions to the south, the communique j
said. !
"We advanced to the west of |
OAstel (two miles northwest of More- 1
nil, toward Amiens), and drove the j
enemy back from Arrirecourt wood,"
the statement said. I
"By a counter attack southwest of
Grivesncs, we occupied St. Aigrian (Two
and a half miles northwest of Montdi
riier). We captured most of Kkinette
wood and extended our positions to
northward of Mont lienaut.
"Thursday night. German attacks
with 15 divisions (ISO,000 men), of
which seven were fresh, failed to reach
their objective, which, according to
captured orders, was the railway from |
Amiens to Clearmont.
"Wo maintained our line as a whole.
The casualties of the enemy were
cruel.”
The Germans in their frantic efforts
t<> take Amiens are pressing in from
the northeast, east and southeast—
following three railway lines converg
ing upon tlie city from those direc
tions.
Haig’s report today of the lighting in
that region indicates the enemy’’ is
concentrating in a frontal attack from
the east, and that the enveloping move
ment on the two Hanks of this sector
5:- awaiting the outcome. Hindenburg
lias met with considerably more suc
cess in this route and the one to the
southeast than in his attempted ad
vance .from the northeast.
Eight Miles From Amiens.
The statement said the British, af
ter heating off several assaults and in
flicting heavy losses on the Germans,
liad been forced to fall back to positions
•cast of Villers-Bretonneux.” This
town is eight, miles east of Amiens, on
the Amiens-Rosieres railway and Is
about midway between the Luce and
the Somme, it marks the closest ap
proach of the Germans to their objec
tive. Haig said the British are holding
the enemy in these new positions.
To the southeast, the Germans have
battered away along the route of the
railway which runs from Montdidier
through Moreuil to Amiens. This rail
way follows tile valley of the Avrc.
The nearest the enemy has approached
Amiens along this route is Moreuil, I
more than 10 miles from Amiens. j
The northeastern route is along the I
railroad which runs from Albert, i
through Corbie to Amiens, following I
the Ancre valley. The Germans have j
been firmly held in the western out
skirts of Albert, but below this city!
the hjjttlc line swing to the southwest;
and parallels the railway at a distance
of about two or three miles, until the
Amiens-Rosieres railway crosses the 1
front. Albert is 16 miles northeast of
Amiens, while Corbie is nine iniies due
cast.
Dutch Frontier Closed.
Activities north of the Somme, Haig j
reported, are limited to artillery fight
ing for the present. The enemy’s ttr- !
tiliery is particularly active in the
Scarp* valley, in which Arras Is located
and in the vicinity of Bucquoy. The
latter town is about 10 miles south of
Arras and midway between Arras and
Albert.
German concentrations in the neigh
borhood of Albert were shelled by Brit
ish artillery’. |
Amsterdam. April t!.- -The German- ;
Dutch frontier w ill be closed for a week 1
according to an announcement in the
Bandalsblad today.
Swigs dispatches announced yosier- '
day that the German-Swiss frontier

New York, April 6.—The special ir

for several months been- studying the
aircraft situation with a view to learn
ing the exact cause for the alleged de
lays in the manufacture and shipping of
airplanes to the seat of war, has made
its official report to the society at a
public meeting here.
Charges that virtually all statements
issued by government officials with re
spect to the execution of the aircraft
problem had been found to be untrust
worthy, and should be disregarded, and
that the very vigorous censorship over
all matters connected with it had been
of no military value, were contained in
the report of the committee, which also
reported the conviction that the only
purpose of the rigor of the censorship
was to preclude the country from find
ing out the character of the official
statements.
Accidents in training, while not ex
cessively numerous, were of such a na
ture, according to the report, as to in

REED FIGHTS
Missouri Senator’s Two-Hour
Speech Interrupted For a
Jab at Burleson.
Washington, D. O., April 6.—Oppo
ients of the Overman l)ill to authorize
ihe president to reorganize government
departments and agencies for the war
period, made a strong attack in t lie
Senate.
In an address of two hours, opposing
the legislation, urging amendments
specifically limiting the proposed pow
ers, Senator Keed, of Missouri, demo
crat, declared the president, under the
pending draft, could "wipe out and de
stroy the Interstate Commerce com
mission, transfer questions of the fed
eral trade commission to, Chairman
Seorge Creel, of the bureau of public
Information, and give those of the fed
eral reserve board to the comptroller
of the currency, or any banker or pri
vate individual.
When Senators Fletcher, of Florida,
and Wolcott, of Delaware,, democrats,
declared their confidence that the
president would not make such use of
the bill, Senator Reed urged that they
should not object, therefore, to special
exceptions.
While Senator Reed was speaking.
Postmaster (leneral Burleson, who took
the Overman bill to the capital, where
it was introduced, appeared in the
president's room just outside the Sen
ate chamber, and conferred with a
number of supporters of the measure.
Referring to Mr. Burleson’s visit, the
Missouri senator declared lie would
not “object to replying to cabinet mem
bers’ arguments if they were made on
the floor of the Senate, rather than in
whispered conversation in the cloak
roc ms.”
Senator Borah, of Idaho, republican,
said the powers of the Interstate Com
merce commission had practically been
dispensed with, owing to the taking
over by the government of control of
the railroads, and asked what could be
expected frorq the commission in re
viewing rates fixed by the president
and based upon financial needs of the
roads, growing out of the war. While
the commission’s powers have been cir
cumscribed, Senator Reed replied, it
still retains many powers of a "whole*
some” character. *
HINOENBURG PLAYS
THE ALLIES’ GAME
Slaughtering of German Troops
For Small Gains Means
Defeat in End.
BY J. W. T. MASON.
Netv York, April 5.—Resumption by
Von Hlndenburg of his slaughter of
German man power to reach Amiens is
playing the game of the allies.
As long as General Koch is able to
save Amiens and prevent the Germans
from cutting the Amiens-Puris railway,
every new assault ordered by Von Hln
denburg must increase the Inevitable
reaction in Germany against the blood
lust of the Hohenzollerns. The small
gains made by the Germans in thp last
24 hours are not worth the casualties.
German losses in these operations are
two to three times the losses of the
British and French, who are remaining
Dn the defensive.
JVcli's policy of caution is being fully
rewarded by Von Hlndenburg’s fero
cious recklessness. It is advantageous
for the allies to incite the Hohenzol
lerns Into these increasing sacrifices of
German troops. Each destruction of a
German division at tills time is a vic
tory for the allies, whether or not the
Germans gain a small additional area
nf territory. The territory certainly
will be restored to the rightful owners
at the peace conference, but the peace
conference will not come until the blood
lotting of Germany has worked its cure.
Von Hindenburg's renewed drive
toward Amiens makes him once more
the leach who is unconsciously curing
Germany <>f her military ills. General
Foch’s great purpose now Is to remain
steadfastly oh the defensive, holding
Ills lines for further German blood let
ting. If this is done successfully, Foch
will have won Ids right to be regarded
as a great allied commander.

German, Robert F. Prnger, at Collins
ville, 111., last night, for discussion with
President Wilson. The government is
expected to denounce the mob’s lawless
act and to express the hope that there
will be no repetition elsewhere.
Springfield. 111.. April 6.—After long
distance telephone conversations today
with federal and county officials at
the scene of the lynching of Robert
Prager at Collinsvlllo last night, Gov
srnor Ixwden called a conference with
Attorney General Edward .1. Brun
dage.
Collinsville, 111., April 8.—-Robert P,
Praeger, 45, alleged pro-German, w.us
taken from hiding in the city hall her*
parly today by a mob of 350 “loyalists”
and hanged to a tree two miles west of
town. No arrests havo been made, al
though the lynchers were not masked
and were said to have been led by
prominent citizens.
Early last flight Praeger came to
Collinsvlllo after evading a patriotic
band at Maryville, where he was al
leged to have talked socialism and made
disloyal remarks. Members of the mob
followed and captured him here.
He was compelled to march bare
footed and draped with an American
Hag, down the main street. Police res
cued him and him him in the city hrftl
basement.
The mob demanded the prisoner and
when refused rushed past authorities
und dragged him from his hiding place
beneath a pile of tilings. Mayor Siegel’s
pleadings were disregarded.
Still barefooted, Praeger was led
along the old national highway with a
noose around his neck. Police and the
coroner followed an hour later anti
found his body dangling from a tree.
Collinsville and Maryville are wmal'.
mining towns, 15 miles cast of St.
Louis. While the mob was storming
the Jail searching for him. Praegei
wrote his parents in Dresden, Germany,
this note:
"I must this, the 4th day of April*
die; please pray for me, my dear par
ents. This is my last letter and testa
ment."
A second note, also in uennan, pro-<
tested Ills loyalty. As lie wgs Jerked
upward on the tree Praeger pleaded hs
was loyal to his country. Mayor Siegel
declared today he had found no evi
dence of disloyalty against Praeger,
The victim had taken out Ills first
oapers and applied for full citizenship.
Collinsville was quiet today with its
miners back at work and apparently
In high spirits following last night's,
activity. Praeger recently had quar
reled with the president of the miners’
union here. It is reported. Authorities
believed today this was connected with
the lynching.
Several suspected pro-Germans dis
appeared from this vicinity immediate
ly following the lynching. Maryville
and Collinsville have been hot beds of
anti-German acts for months. Mary
ville’s mayor, a citizen of German birth,
was forced to kiss the flag two mouths
ago. No suspicion had been directed
at him until he defended three men,
alleged disloyalists, threatened with
violence. Ten men, suspected of pro
Germanism, have been forced to leave
‘.he two cities because of threats against
them. —
Prager was a coal miner and yester
day at Maryville. III.. In un address on
socialism he is said to have made re
marks derogatory to President Wilson.
Miners there became angry and when
they threatened to do him bodily harm
he escaped to Collinsville, his home.
Some of the miners, however, followed.
The police said that Prager while
in '.heir custody had declared he was
a registered enemy alien, that he was
born in Germany, but that he had taken
out his first naturalization papers and
had hoped to become an American citi
zen. .
In Prager's pocket was found a lying
■proclamation” in which he staled his
loyalty to the United States and to un
ion labor, and told of Ills difficulty in
entering tin- miner's union. Prager.
yesterday afternoon, put up posters at
the Maryville mine, proclaiming his
loyalty to the government. When the
miners left the workings they were in
censed by these proclamations and be
gan to hunt Prager.
Before the conference. Attorney Gen
ual Brundage said that instructions
had been given to begin at once a
strenuous attempt to Identify members
of the mob that hanged Prager with
a view to prosecution. It was said that
quiet prevails, hut that feeling against
others suspected of being pro-German
still was running high in the vicinity
