5 Bill, 301 to. 103; Home Rule
Will Follow or Govern
ment Will Resign.
' N
(By Associated Press.)
'London, April 16. The third read
ing of the governments' man-power
bill was carried tonight by a vote of
301 to 103.
In the report stage of the man
power bill, John Dillon, chairman of
the Irish nationalists, moved the
omission of the Irish clause and
, pressed the government to give its
r"S ral plans. -He recommended that the
' government go to the counties of An--.
trim and Down and try to hold con
' scription meetings. That, he said,
would open the government's eyes.
PROTESTS CONSCRIPTION.
a rs
Doubtless the giving of home rule
would produce a 'great effect, but at
. the present time the government ap
peared neither able to carry on the
war successfully nor to accept peace;
neither able to govern Ireland nor to
allow Ireland to govern herself.
Mr. Dillon said he had been 40
years in public life, during some of
the stormiest periods of Irish his-
tory, but he solemnly warned the
government that he never had known
anything to approach the feeling in
Ireland today.
; If conscription was applied, the
fchaos and cotifusion ensuing would
be appalling and, he declared. Ire-
land will be turned into another Bel
gium.
To Press Home Rule.
George N. Barnes, " labor member
if the British war cabinet' without
portfolio announced in the House of
Commons today that the government
intended to introduce a home rule bill
immediately and would use every
. pressure to pass-it
Mr.- Barnes announced " that the
' Lloyd George government would re
sign if the House of Lords refused
'to pass the new home rule bill.
Premier Lloyd George said in the
- House of Commons today: -
"It is desirable, in the interest of
the war, thSt we should settle the
, Irish question and produce something
like contentment in Ireland and good
; will in America."
Fifty Lashes Given Alleged
Disloyal German-American
Tulsa, Okl., April 16. John Ku-
becka, io, Oerman-American, was
taken from the street late las,t night
by the "Knights of Liberty," led
quietly to a secluded spot north of
the city, tarred and feathered and
given 50 lashes.
Kubecka is alleged to have invaded
the intimacy of the home of a soldier
called in the draft and to have made
disloyal remarks. He was made to
promise that he would leave Tulsa,
never to see the woman again and
never make another disloyal remark.
: The Knights of Liberty came into
. prominence here last November when
15 alleged Industrial Workers of the
World members were tarred and
feathered and whipped.

Crisis Reached for General Humeri
Army ab Messines Ridge; Germans
Call Half Million More Men to Colors
GERMANS STILL PRESSING ONWARD
IN EFFORT TO CRUSH BRITISH ARMY
By ARTHUR DRAPER
London, April 16. (Special Cablegram to New York
Tribune and Omaha Bee.) The supreme crisis for General
Plummer's army in Flanders has been reached and the
whole course of the war hangs in the balance.
The Germans are still furiously pressing onward in
their desperate "bloody battle" to crush the British and are
only" 25 miles from the sea.
(By Associated Press.)
Ottawa, April 16. German troops have carried Wyts
chaete and the greater part of Messines ridge, according to a
despatch from the Reuter correspondent at British head
quarters in France received here tonight.
The enemy also has established himself in Spanbrok
molen. The British are stil Iclinging to the slopes of Messines
Ridge, battling desperately to repel the attacks made upon

GERMANY
CALLS MORE MEN
David Lloyd George, the British
premier, announced in the house of

patch, "but the following viewpoint
is suggested:
"We are confronted by enormous
purpose" of the enemy Jhas " .
veaiea as an operation attempting to
separate
the British and rrencn
armies by rushing on the former.
General Foch, .in closest agreement
with Field Marshal Haig, is aiming
not only at arresting the enemy, but
at a counter attack which shall defeat
the Germans. Therefore, within
certain limits, the sound policy is to ;
allow the Germans to spend their
surplus power as lavishly as possible
in order to reach the stage of equality
or even inferiority.
LUDENDORFF'S CARDS DOWN
"On the other hand General Foch
is endeavoring to avoid the enemy
obtaining a great strategic advantage
simultaneously, placing a definite
price on certain places as worth so
much and no more in defending. Thus
when the pr.'ce of defending Bailleul
was paid, Bailleul was evacuated.
"It must be remembered that Gen
eral Ludendorff has laid down all
his cards, while General Foch has
ujot yet shown his hand,
j "General Foch's dispositions jn
j spire a degree of confidence which
the situation in Flanders seemingly
does -not justify. We may rest as
sured mat our own supreme com
mand is watching both the enemy and
the map wit. intense vigilance.
"While the enemy hopes to frus
trate our plans by forcing changes by
weight of numbers, so far the incom
parable steadfastness of our soldiers
has deprive:! the enemy of the fruits
of his schemes."

AUSTRIA ABOUT TO RENEW
OFFENSIVE AGAINST ITALY
f By Associated PrTss.)
Washington, April 16. An Austrian offensive against Italy is im
minent and will be started on a large scale, in the opinion of Italian
observers, as expressed in official messages today to the Italian em
bassy here.
"The recent visit of Emperor Charles to the Austrian front and
inspired articles in the Austrian and German newspapers, the usual fore
runners of an offensive, are taken as an indication.
"The enemy press has begun to speak openly of the offensive in
order to prepare the Austro-Hungarian public for the inevitable ledes
resulting from such a colossal operationas are anticipated by semi
official newspapers," the dispatches say.
"The Vossische Zeitung (Berlin) in an article full of mysterious
allusions Bays this spring will put Switzerland's neutrality under the
severest test, as the Austro-German troops will probably encircle, in the
course of their operatione, the little republic.
"The Budapest Irlap insists that 'since General Foch is in supreme
command of all our armies we must attack Jtaly immediately and carry
the effect of our presence to the back of the French army.' "

A little further south artillery duels
have been in progress between La
Bassee canal and Robecq, but whether
that presaged fresh enemy attacks
-west of Merville, to co-ordinate with
those to the north, it is impossible to
say at this 'hour.
These facts may seem somewhat
grim in reading, but they have their
brighter side. The Germans have
won new ground at a great cost of
life, and there is no diminution in
the manificent spirit which has been
poking against the enemy invasion
since April 9. There is absolutely no
flagging of iaith among the officers
and men along this front in their
ultimate victory.
Expect Turn of Tide.
No more gallant defense has been

heavily in the region of Arras. Now
it is the Arnicntieres sector; tomor

the western front approximately 200
German divisions. Of this huge num
ber about n!0 have already been en

KEY TO VPRES
NOW IN HANDS
OF GERMANS
British May Be Forced to
Retire From This Sector Un
less They Drive Foe Back
to Lowlands.
(Bjr Associated Press.)
Germany's mighty effort on the bat
tlefield of Flanders has won new suc
cesses. According to the latest re
ports, the important strategic towns
of Bailleul, Wulverghem and
Wytschaete are in German hands,
and, more important still, the Teutons
have carried a large part of the Mes
sines ridge by storm.
Probably there has been no more
bitter struggle during the war than
that waged along the battle line
through the towns of Bailleul, Neuve
Eglise, Wulvertghem and Wytschaete.
Neuve Eglise was taken Monday, but
Bailleul held out until fresh masses of
German troops were hurled into the
fray and charged repeatedly on the
tired defenders. The same story
might be told of Wulvertghem and
Wytschaete, while the battle for Mes
sines ridge must have been frightful
jri its intensity.
OENTER ON ONE POINT.
The Germans have not attempted
to advance their wedge further into
the British lines for no new attacks
on Merville and further west have
been reported. They have devoted
their sole attention to the work of
widening out the salient and striking
at Messines ridge and the railroad
running about six miles north of
Bailleul. Messines ridge is the key
t ihpres-sector-and -its possession
will give the Germans a commanding
position in starting a new drive.
British May Lose Ypres.
The successes of the Germans in
the last day have an important hear
ing on the campaign on the northern
battle front. If they are continued
there mut be a British retirement
from Ypres and possibly for some
distance further north, while the cut
ting of the railroad passing through
Hazebrouck would be still more se
rious for the British.
So important are the points won
by the Germans that the British must
be expected to counter attack at once
in an effort to sweep the invaders
back into the lowlands once more.
All accounts of the battle along this
line speak of the small British forces
which attempted to withstand the at
tacks by heavy legions of Teutons,
which were brought up fresh for the
assault.
There is higher ground just to the
north of Bailleul and Neuve Eglise
from which the British can still con
duct a stern defense. Merville is
standing -'firm, in spite of terrific 'at
tacks made against it, while along the
southern side of the salient there
have been no engagements reported.
The same condition holds true in the
sector before Amiens where there
have been only artillery duels. Raid
ing operations in which both sides
have taken the initiative are reported
from the French front in the Chani
pagne. American Defeat Claimed.
In spite of the reports from the
American front that German attacks
there have been utter failures, a re
port from Berlin, via Amsterdam,
says that the American positions near
St. Mihill were taken by storm by the
Germans who. held them against de
termined counter attacks. It is prob
able that the German report deals
with the battle' in which the Ameri
cans administered a sound heating to
special shock troops brought up by
the Germans to take the American
positions.
The Germans in Finland arc ad
vancing east of Helsingfors and are
encountering little, if any resistance.
Ten German trawlers have been
sunk in the Cattcgat, the narrow
strait between Jutland and Norway,
by a British fleet. The survivors of
the trawlers' 'crews were rescued.

and an important railway junction,
37 1-2 miles from Calais and 25
miles from Dunkirk, the German ob

FLAG SALUTE FOR WOMEN;
DR. HENR Y OFFERS $50 PRIZE
Omaha, April IS My Dear Mr. Rosewater: I have been much inter
ested in reading the editorials in The Bee and Chicago Tribune calling at
tention to the feet that very few Americans remember to salute the flag
when it passes. It is not because we do not love the flag, but lack of edu
cation and thoughtlessness, and our attention should be called to it until
we all recognize the flag on every proper occasion
The women are quite as patriotic as the men, and yet I know of no
method for a woman to salute the flag.
I am glad to offer through The Bee three prizes the first $20, the
second $15 and the third $10, for the best suggestion as to a salute that
women could express their reverence and patriotism for the flag th same
as when a man takes off his hat.
I wish to do this through The Bee, as I know you are 100 per cent'
American. E. C. HENRY.
