With the American Army in France, Tuesday, March 12. Four groups of German gas projectors, in addition to the group of 200 projectors already reported destroyed, have been dis covered, and likewise blown to pieces by the American artillery. Probable urrman pians ior gas anacKS on a t ... i comparatively large scale against the American positions northwest of Toul have been upset. The new groups of projector were discovered from aerial photographs taken by Amreican observers in French airplanes. The effective ac tion taken against them was due to the quick work of the observers, 'the intelligence officers and the artiller ists in turn. ARTILLERY VERY ACCURATE. The American artillery on this front has been more active than ever in the past IS hours, and its shells also found lodgment in a num ber of ammunition dumps, which were blown up. Many extensive explosions are reported. The correspondent, standing on a hill, witnessed one dump, situated in a wood, go up in a brilliant flash, and a great puff of whitish smoke, a tre mendous report .following a few sec onds later. Explosions and fires also were caused by our shells in villages, and a number in the woods behind the enemy front , During a retaliatory shelling for an enemy bombardment in which a num ber of gas shells fell on our battery positions, the American guns silenced certain German batteries, by pouring in a fast and extremely accurate fire. Our artillerymen stayed in their dug outs until the 'gas shells began to fall, when they put on their masks and manned the guns while thus pro tected. Some mustard gas shells were mixed with the others that fell, and later a few of our men walked through this type of gas without their masks on. Level Wire Barrier. The American artillery also tore great gaps in the enemy wire and levelled various portions of the first and second line trenches, forcing the enemy virtually to abandon them. Details of the recent raid which Have just been developed show that while numbers of Germans - were killed by shell fire, when the box barrage was in effect and others later by the creeping barrage, there were also a few of the enemy shot here and there during the time our men were in the trenches.,- There were many Americans among the raiding party of four; officers and 70 men who did not see s single German soldiers.. All the men in the raid seemed particu larly impressed with the way Amer ican barrage worked. tt vi cu bine vtecs. . "It worked like a clock," said one soldier, whose home is in Texas. "It made you feel you could go right on to Berlin behind it The only trou ble about this show was we didn't see enough of Fritz. He must have beat it like a rabbit, because I did not see a single one all the way back to the second line, although some of the otner tenows oia. The men went in 150 yards on t 100-yard front None of the Ameri cans was killed and none is missing. It is certain that five Germans were killed in the fighting.' Artillery fire of quite a lively char acter also is continuing in the sec tor east of Luneville. So far as is known the Germans have not yet re-J occupied their hrst and second lines there. Snipers Are Busy. Both the Luneville sector, and that of Toul have been much occupied with snipers today, as well as last night in the former sector one sniper was detected in tree after a period in which he had done fairly effective work. " ' One of the American sharp shoot ers crawled cautiously to a vantage point in No Man's Land and opened up on him. The second shot hit the German, whose body dropped to the enemy wire, where it hung for the rest of the day. Northwest of Toul, rifle fire and grenades dislodged a German from a sniper's post in a shell hole and also silenced the enemy in machine gun emplacement on the front lines, who had been annoying our men with bursts of fire. The American machine guns, by a cross fire again drove out the Germans from a number of listen ing posts. . Americans See All.

State de partment advices today transmit re ports from Stockholm that some Americans who left Finland on a neu tral ship after the German occupation were taken prisoners. The department also learned that 25 Americans who left Helsingfors have been held by the Finnish red guard at Bjoerneborp, on the west coast of Finland, northwest of Hel singfors. The information came from Minister Morris at Stockholm, who cabled that he had learned from American Consul Haynes, one of the party, that passes had been refused them. All of the allied missions except the British, who were on their way from Russia via Helsingfors to Sweden, fot through, Mr. Morris reported. The French had induced the red guard to agree to an armistice permitting pas sage of all fugitives, but this arrange, ment was rejected bv General Manne heim, commander of the white tuard.

The famous Scotch singer advised all Americans to inquire who is their next door neighbor in order that Ger man propaganda might be rooted out. He told of cases in which German guns and ammunition were found buried in American soil. "Who buried them there?" he asked. "The Germans in Germany did not bury them there. It was the Germans in this country. What for? Why just to kill you, that's all . "No, you may not be openly for, Germany, but some of yoju have been sitting around the fire and criticizing the government.'. This is a mighty task the government of America has undertaken. It is a task that requires a steady hand and a clear head, and those of us who know, have thanked God for President Wilson." Fully 500 people crowded the din ing room to hear the Scotchman whose only son gave his life on the battle front as a captain of Scotch Highlanders. Great Crowds at Theater. Every seat in the theater was sold for each performance, while at night more than 100 were seated on the stage, forming what the star playfully called "the choir."

Mr. Lau der's own contribution was new, none of the songs he has made familiar being repeated. His American com position, "Marching With the Presi dent, from the, North, South, East and West," drew an outburst of ap proval that left no room for dubiety as to the feelings of the great assem blage. "The Lads Who Foughtt and Won" also got an ovation. In addition to his appeal for the Red Cross, Mr. Lauder told of the fund he has started for the relief of maimed soldiers and sailors. He says he wants it to be so that no man who fought in this war will ever be seen standing on a corner selling shoe laces or pencils. To say goodbye, he told us of a tour planned for Aus tralia next season, the exigencies of which may necessitate his crossing the United States to reach there.

The mysterious movement of troops by Governor Chang Soulin of Mukden province, coupled with the reported desire of President Feng-Kwo-Chang to resign, is causing speculation in the capita. ueneral Uiang soulin recently in tercepted a large shipment ot arms from Japan intended for the use of the Chinese government. The seizure was made on the allegation that there was danger of the arms falling into the hands of the enemies ot the northern military leaders through evil counsel in the government. Starts Troop Movement. ' Shortly thereafter General Chang Soulin began to move his troops southward, ostensibly to aid the northern leaders against the south em rebels. His troops are now at Lwan Chow, Shanhaikwan and Tient sin, in Chihli province, in which Peking also is situated. President engs desire to resign was expressed at a cabinet meeting where he produced a telegram which he nroDoses to send to the provisional government, declaring that the situa tion was too difficult for him to solve The president is said to have with held his resignation temporarily on the advice of the cabinet pending ne srotiations with General Chang Soulin for his removal of troops and the restoration of the arms he seized . President a Prisoner. In a mandate early in January, Pres ident Fene-Kwo-Chang assumed re sponsibility for the country's political troubles, and announced that he would resign shortly. A report was received in London March 2 that President Feng would probably be forced to resign. It was added that he was virtually a prisoner of the northern military leaders. In July, 1916, Gen eral Chang Soulin was reported to be preparing to make an attempt to reinstate the Manchu dynasty in China, but his efforts never bore fruit Germany Would Bring Neutrals to Knees by Force (Continued From Pate One.) vessels were attacked far outside the zone. Many Ships Wait "The intent of the Germans to pre vent neutrals receiving food and sup plies under relief agreements con cluded with the United States is illus trated by th German veto placed upon the temporary modus vivendi with Holland, providing for the pro visioning of that country. Two food ships loaded with supplies for the Netherlands, along with 11 Belgian relief ships, have been waiting in American ports for weeks, unable to sail because of the refusal of Ger many to permit an equivalent amount of tonnage leaving Dutch harbors, the obvious plan of the German authori ties being to gather all Dutch ships into home harbors and then prevent any of them sailing by threats to tor pedo anyj vessel leaving Holland waters. To relieve the food situation in Holland, the war trade board has finally authorized the transshipment of the food in question from the two Dutch steamers to the Holland liner Nieue Amsterdam, which is sailing shortly. "The present campaign of threats and intimidation against the Scandi navian neutrals now carried on in the semi-official North German Gazette and other organs of the German press is obviously intended to frighten the northern neutrals from completing arrangements which benefit the neu trals quite as much as the Unite States and its associates. "Safe Zone" Dangerous.

One proposal favored for a time was to name the boats for naval heroes. state, was en route to a port to which Germany had explicitly promised to leave open a sate passage and was torpedoed outside the prohibited zone. "To add to the deliberates ss of the offense, the Sardinero was destroyed after the submarine commander had made a thorough examination of the ships papers and convinced himself of the nature and destination of the cargo, so that no plea of a 'mistake' can be entered by Germany. The evi dent intent and result of the act was to prevent Switzerland, whose urgent and immediate need of food is well known to Germany, from receiving the American grain; to destroy a Spanish ship for after-the-war trade and to raise by this much the relative value and importance of each German ship afloat at the end of the war. Diverted Grain Cargo. "By the Swiss-American agreement of December 5 the allies guaranteed to Switzerland for its admittedly urgent needs an eight months' supply of 240,000 tons of cereals, subject to the assumption that Germany would safe conduct the supply ships as spec ified in its proclamation on ruthless ness and submarining, which provided a safe route to the Mediterranean port of Cette and promised that subma rines would not molest such vessels. To accelerate delivery and provide for immediate necessities before grain from the Argentine, the natural source of supply, could reach Switzer land, the War Trade board prepared from the scanty supplies in this coun try 30,000 tons of grain which had been ear-marked for the allies and allotted it to Switzerland, arranging to replace it later by grain from the Argentine and had further proved its good faith and desire to help out de pendent neutrals by successful efforts to secure tonntge to transport the grain. The plans even contem plated bringing the ships back in bal last from Cette to accelerate ship ments and remove any pretext for German submarine interference with the ships either going or coming. "It is hoped that Switzerland and other neutrals will contrast the re spective attitudes of Germany and the United States toward the nroblem rnf feeding the neutrals and will take due notice of this latest altemnt of Germany to intimidate neutral ship owners, tnrough ruthless submarin ing, from carrying food to Switzer land.

HARRASS ENEMY Sammies Hammer Germans Aloft and in Trenches; Russ Siberian Question Far From Settled. (By AMM-itd Pr.) On the major battle fronts the oper ations continue, as tor weeks past, mainlv of artillery duels, trench raids and intensive aerial activity by all opposing rorces. In the operations on land, the American troops continue to locate and blow to pieces with their artillery gas projectors in the Toul region, which the Germans recently have been attempting to set up in large numbers in praparation, it is believed, for a gas attack on a huge scale. American aerial obervers have been doing splendid work spotting out the gas tubes, and reporting their where abouts to the artillery. ARTILLERY VERY ACCURATE. Not alone are the gas throwing im plements coming in for attention by the American gunners, but German batteries, trenches, wire entangle ments and points of military concen tration and munition dumps, also are being given practical demonstrations of the accuracy of aim of the men be hind the American guns. Additional batteries have been silenced by them trenches and wire entanglements have been torn to pieces and ammunition dumps blown up. With the return of good weather many airmen daily are to be seen over the battle lines dropping bombs or in aerial combat. The British, French and German air services all are claim ing numerous victories for their avia tors in fights in the air. During the first 10 days of March, British air men are credited with accounting for 79 German planes, while the German war office asserts that on Wednesday 17 enemy machines and three captive balloons were destroyed by uerman airmen along the Franco-Belgian front. May Thow Out Treaty. The situation in Russia and Siberia apparently is still far from being set tled. Although the Germans and Aus- tro-Hungarians still control territory from Finland and Odessa on the Black sea. it is not certain that the Russians will not again take up arms against them. The bolshevik foreign minister, Trotzky, has asserted that he will oDoose the ratification of the oeace treaty with Germany, and ad vocate the reorganization of the army for the defense ot Kussia. Meanwnue influential newspapers in Germany al ready are beginning to see the loss of Germany's prestige in the far east, because of her machinations in Rus sia and to point out that Germany's Russian policy has "played the game brilliantly" for Great Britain, the United States and Japan.
