and was a most inhospitable' place for
the enemy. '
The British withdrawal became
necessary when the Germans on the
north drove forward to the vicinity of
Steenwerck, bottling. up the city. By
their operations the Germans had
gradually thrust forward lines, on
either side of the city toward the west
until at noon yesterday Armentieres
lay at the bottom of a sack-shaped
salient whose sides were 12,000 yards
long and whose mouth near Steer
werck was only 2,000 yards across.
t Mist Favors Germans. '
The mists yesterday continued to
favor the enemy and to hamper the
defending gunners. It was partly en
account of these fogs that the Ger
mans progressed as far at they? did
above Armentieres. The - situation
here today, did not appear to be
critical. The enemy yesterday did not
attack with the huge forces employed
on other sectors since the opening of
the offensive, although he undoubt
edly used many more men than were
holding the line attacked. '
A small force of the British bicycle
corps did brilliant work for a short
time on Tuesday, ' when the Portu
guese were forced back and it was
necessary to reinforce the center of
the allies' battle line below Armen
tieres. This little body of troops
was thrown in and held on gallantly
until 'the regular Infantry could be
brought up. '

Washington,' April 12. In the con
troversy over increase of the govern
ment minimum guarantee prices for

today again record itself in favor of
he increase. It adopted the con
."erence report on the $26,000,000 agri

working order the nationalists should
undertake to raise seven divisions by
voluntary recruiting a resujt which,
it says, should persuade the govern
ment to abstain from enforcing con
scription. ,
New Plan to Rule Irish.
The Irish convention laid the foun
dation for an agreement on the Irish
question which is unprecedented in
history, Sir Horace I'lunkett, chair
man of the convention, says in a let
ter accompanying the report of that
body.
The convention did not find it pos
sible to overcome the objections of
the Ulster unionists, says Sir Horace.
A majority of the nationalists all the
southern unionists and Ave of the
seven labor representatives agreed
uoon a scheme of Irish self-govern
ment, which is given in the con
clusions reached by the majority,
which, he states, should be enacted
into law.
Now Burning Question.
"We had. every reason to believe
the government contemplated im
mediate legislation upon the results
of our labor," says Sir Horace. "The
wOrk- of an Irish settlement, it is
now felt, admits of no further post-
tonement. In the dominions and the
Inited States, as well as the allied
countries, the unsettled Irish question
is a disturbing factor, both as regards
war effort and peace aims."
After every possibility of an agree
ment had been explored, Sir Horace
writes, he was instructed to draft a
report which would be a narrative of
the convention's proceedings, with a
statement for the government's in
formation of the conclusions adopted
unanimously or by a majority. This
draft of the report was adopted by a
majority. , '
Agreement Discounted.
1 Sir Horace adds that the public
has been provided with no majority
report in the sense of a reasoned
statement in favor of conclusions
upon which the majority agreed, but
has. been left to gather from the nar
rative of the proceedings what the
contents of such a report would have
been. The issue of mihonty reports
by the Ulster unionists and a minor
ity of nationalists has minimized the
agreement reached and emphasized
the disagreement.
In his letter, which is addressed to
Premier Lloyd George, the chairman
says the customs question became
one of the vital points, and that upon
a decision regarding it "depended the
extent of an agreement which could
be reached.
Demand Fresh Powert. '
The geographical position of Ire
land imposed restrictions regarding
naval and military affairs and the
claim of home rule was concentrated
on the demand for unrestricted fiscal
powers. The nationalists made a
strong Case for such fiscal powers
and were able to prove that a consid-J
mercial men had come to favor fiscal
autonomy. -
A 'maioritY of the nationalists and
of the southern unionists agreed, in
order that a parliament might be es
tablished at once, to postpone the de
cision in regard to control of the cus
toms. The nationalists were pre
pared to, agree to free trade with
England, but the southern unionists
joined the Ulster unionists in oppoi7
nig a satisfactory system of customs
control.

(Br AMoeUtcd FreM.V. . .
Washington, April 12. Reference
in a Vienna dispatch to the Berlin
Tageblait to peace discussions .car
ried on at Vienna by a "Prof. Anders
son of Washington" puzzled officials
here today until they recalled that
months ago, just before the. United
States declared a state of war with
Austria-Hungary, a man named An
derson transmitted a report on news
he had held with Count Andrassy, a
former Austrian premier, and Count
Aponyi, Hungarian statesman, fof
many years identified with The
Hague tribunal - and movements in
behalf of universal peace.
Anderson, who though he could not
be definitely identified at the State
department, is assumed to be an
American of some prominence, who
happened to be in Vienna, bore no
commission from the American gov
ernment and entered into the conver
sations solely as an individual. So far
as, officials here know he advanced
no ideas of his own, but merely was
called in by the Austro-Hungan'ans,
to hear what they had to say about
the possibility of terminating the war.
Austria Asked to Explain.
Considerable interest is manifested
here in reports frorn Austria and
Germany on the situation created by
Count Czernin's recent Speech and
the French statement that Emperor
Charles considered the French de
mand for Alsace-Lorraine a just one.
An official dispatch from France to
day says the German newspapers are
printing demands, semi-official in
tone, asking the Austrian government
to explain. i ' r
A-message from Zurich says Chan
cellor Hertling has been tailed to
headquarters by the kaiser. to discuss
the revelations concerning the Aus
trian emperor.
Boston, April 11. The claim set
up in a dispatch to the Berlin Tage
blatt from Vienna that a "Prof. An
derson" had sought to open peace
negotiations with the Austro-Hun-garian
government; recalled to ac
quaintances here the earlier peace ac
tivities of Hendrik Christian Ander
sen, a sculptor.
Mr. Andersen is understood to be
an American citizen, although he has
spent much time at . his European
home in Rome, where it is said he has
been recently. He is a native of
Norway and was brought to this
country in infancy.
Mr. Andersen organized the
World's conscience society, but hi is
better known, perhaps, through his
efforts to establish "a world center
of communication" or world capitol,
which was to be the headquarters for
international affairs and bureau of
international documents. He is said
to have urged his plan upon several
governments and to have obtained
options at one time on property in
the vicinitv of Brussels, Belgium, for
the site of the proposed capitol.
Czechs Against Czernin.
London, April , 11. The Austro
Hungarian foreign minister. Count
Czernin, has returned unexpectedly
to Vienna from a visit to German
headquarters, where he conferred
with Emperor William. The dispatch
says the sudden return of the count
caused a sensation in Austrian poli
tical circles.
.The stand taken by the Czechs
against Count Czernin, the dispatch
continues, overshadows the contro
versy between the count and Premier
Clemenceau of France. In Prague,
on Saturday, a Czech meeting of pro
test against Count Czernin will he
held.
The position of Count Czernin is
said to be much less secure since his
recent speech and the publication of
a French $ioal statement that
Emperor Charles considered the
French demand of Alsace Lorraine
just, according to an Exchange Tele
graph dispatch frfcm Copenhagen.
There is growing dissatisfaction in
Germany with imperial chancellor von
Hertling and Foreign Minister von
Kuehlmann and efforts are being
made to replace von Hertling with
Dr. von Helfferich, former vice chan
cellor. -
The Austrian embassy in Berlin
officially denies the French statement
attributed to Emperor Charles but
does not insist that there was never
any talk of an acknowledgement by
the emperor of fhe, justice of the,
Alsace-Lorraine demands.
Reasserts Loyalty to Kaiser.
Vienna, Via Paris, April 11. An of
ficial statement giving .the text of a
telegram from Emperor .Charles ol
Emperor William relative iko itiol
claim of Premier Clemenceau thit thej
former recognized the claims otj
France tov Alsace-Lorraine, was, is
sued today.. The statement reads:
"I accuse M. Clemericean of piling;
up lies to escape the w"eg of lies hij
which he is involved, making ,the falsei
assertion that I in some manner rec
ognized France's claims to Alsace
Lorraine as just. . I
"I indignantly repet the assertionj
At the moment when Austro-Hungryl
cannon are firing along side of the!
German artillery on the western! $
front no prod is necessary that I am
fighting for your-provinces."
The statement concludes that no ,
intrigue can endanger the perfect
solidarity between the two empires. ;
Dodge Going Over Top.
Fremont, Neb., April 12. (Special
Telegram.) The committee in charge1
of the Liberty loan drive in Dodge
county offers the prediction that the
$1,000,000 mark will be reached in;
substriptions. Reports from the towns,
in the county indicate that in nearly
every township the quota will be ovr,
subscribed. Up to tonight the total
in Fremont was $300,000. The mini-'
mum quota is $315,000.
