Paris, April 25. American soldiers pounded in the great battle now be
ing waged are already arriving at the rear. American wounded and sick to the
number of 4 28 have reached hospital 25. They are from units engaged in fight
ing side by side with French and British in stemming the German advance.
' Hospital 25 is one of the new institutions established behind the line as it
stood after the allies stopped the recent German drive in Picardy.
Few of the Americans remain at the hospital very long, being taken fur
ther, to the rear. Sixteen girl students of Smith college are working in day
and night shifts at this point and are operating a well-arranged canteen at the
railroad station for the soldiers coming through on the hospital trains.
Mrs. Clark, the Misses Justice, Brogan and Scott and Ml. Ralthis and E.
W. Lowrey of the American RedQ
Cross have rendered notable service
at the hospital.
MARINES? LOSSES 278.
Washington, April 25. Total losses
of 278 in the brigade of marines with
the American .expeditionary force in
France were announced today by
Major General Barnett, commandant
of the corps, as follows:'
Killed m action, 22; died from
wounds, 10; died from accidents, 2;
wounded in action, 244.
All the dead are enlisted men, but
eight officers, two captains and six
lieutenants, were among the wounded.
COMPANY CUT TO PIECES.
Five of the enlisted men were
slightly wounded, but General Bar-
: nett's statement did not show whether
the officers and other men were se
verely or slightly hurt.
Most of the casualties were in one
eompany, which, General Barnett said,
lost a total of 21 men killed nd 140
wounded out of a personnel of 250.
The dates on which the marines
were killed and wounded were not
made public, nor was it indicated what
part of the line the "soldiers 'of the
sea" are holding or in what actions
they have participated. Such informa
tion is withheld for military reasons.
Held Front Line Trench.
It is known, however, that the ma-
' rines, have been holding a front line
trench sector for several weeks, hav
ing been moved tip to the battle line
tfter doing police duty along the
American lines of. communication
since they first went to France. with
the vanguard of General Pershing's
: forces last summer-
Today's list was the first marine
corps casualty list made public and
included all names repotted up to
April 23, Since the marines are con
sidered an integraf part of the army
in France, officials of the corps had
expected their casualties to be in
cluded in those of the army an
nounced by the War department. In
quiry, however, developed that such
was not the case and the compiling
of a complete list was ordered by
General Barnett. It was regarded as
probable that someof the names an
nounced today previously had been is
sued by the War department in the
regular army lists made public daily.
- i List Undergoes Revision.
- General Barnett' first announce
ment said that the casualties totalled
274, with 34 enlisted men killed and
four officers, and 236 enlisted men
wounded. Later he made public the
names of four additional officers and
live enlisted men who had been
wounded. When the list of names
referred to in General Barnett's first
announcement was issued, however,
it was found that it contained only
271 names with those of two men
duplicated, levying a total of 269. To
this was added the nine names of men

Mysterious Disappearance of
Evidence in Banker's Trial at
Tekamah Creates Sens$
tion at Trial.
Tekamah, Neb., April 25. (Special.)
Because of the mysterious disap
pearance of evidence of a very impor
tant nature, the state is laboring
'under a handicap in the prosecution of
Cashier Elliott of the defunct De
catur bank.
The trial of the case was resumed
this morning. Attorney Munger, for
the prosecution, was asked if Mr. El
liott had not been promised immunity
from prosecution by Attorney Gen
eral Barrett for testimony to the ef
fect that he took the deposit of Frank
lams, horseman of St. Paul, Neb., for
$12,000 from the class of preferred
claims.
Munger replied: "No, not to my
knowledge."
Asked if the loss of important testi
mony was not due to friction in the
office of the attorney general, Mr.
Munger offered lio reply, observing.
"The loss was very unfortunate."
Attorney Barrett, formerly assist
ant attorney general, was in the city
today. He said that he had been
brought here as a witness, but he was
not placed on the stand
Testimony this morning was prin
cipally in connection with one deposit
of $381.26, which the state contends
had been accepted by Elliott fox the
bank when he knew the institution
was in a failing: condition.
State Bank Examiner Touzalin was
on the stand most of the morning and
he testified that he had made a com
plete report of the condition of the
bank at the time of the faihire and
had attached thereto various papers
as evidence of probable fraudulent
banking. These are the papers that
are alleged to have been lost while in
the possession of the Statet Banking
board.
The defense is contending that the
missing evidence should be given to
the jury and that the party responsible
for its loss should produce it or show
why it cannot be produced.

MORE AMERICAN
WOUNDED FOUND
ON TOUL FIELD
Soldier Buried Alive Three
Days and Trampled Over by
Enemy When He Crawled
to Surface.
(By Associated Press.)
With the American Army in France,,
April 25. -Further details received at
headquarters of the engagement
around Seickeprey shot that the
American troops were outnumbered,
in some instances, eight to one.
More of the American wounded
were found today, one of whom was
buried alive for three tdays and had
been trampled over by the enemy
when he had crawled to the surface,
in the belief that he was dead.
The American casualties are con
siderably less than the first estimates.
When hie complete story of this
engagement is told the bravery of the
regimental chaplains wilf be one of
the outstanding features. One of them,
Father William J. Farrell of - West
Newton, Mass., went to the assistance
of a battery when four of the Ameri
can gunners were killed Nand carried
up ammunition and helped to keep'he
gun working all Saturday night. , He
was injured, but refused to have his
wound dressed Sunday morning until
he had carried Myron Dickinson,
aged 19, of Bridgeport, Conn., one of
his wounded comrades, to a dugout
dressing station.
Father Michael O'Connor of Boston
and Father OsiastBoucher of. New
Bedford, Mass., took charge of the
cooking and washing and carried on
the work of serving; hot soup and food
to the soldiers.
s Fear Many More Captured. ,
Washington, v April 25. The num
ber of Americans killed in the Ger
man attack of April 20 near Seiche
prey was less than a dozen, and the
number of injured was about 20.
These figures, made known today,
appear to give support to the German
claim that 183 Americans were cap
tured, since it previously had been ad
mitted that the American casualties
were around 200.
(By Associated Press.) a
to turn in their pledges, held back
heretofore for a multitude of busi
ness reasons, and local campaign
committees sent word tonight that the
day's sales undoubtedly would break
records for the campaign.
In many states a legal holiday has
been declared and in otheri arrange
ments have been made for business
houses and factories to close for part
of the day to allow citizens to partici
pate in Liberty parades, or to make
house to house canvasses for sub
scriptions. In Washington, government clerks
will be released fromwork to march
in a great procession ,-down Penn
sylvania avenue. Many high officials
had enrolled tonight to march.
Subscription reports lagged today,
aduing only $108,000,000 to previous
reports and making the total $1,898,
785,050. Officials had looked for a
much larger figure for today than
even the $120,000,000 daily average
which must be maintained to reach
the $3,000,000,000 by the end of next
week, the close of the campaign. a
IMMORALITY IMPUTED
TO. GERMAN MINISTER.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, April 25. Count Von Herding, the imperial German
chancellor, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copen
hagen, is officially reported to have brought a suit against the
Deutsche Zeitung of Berlin for an article published Wednesday in
which Dr. Von Kuehlemann, German foreign secretary, and Count
Czernin, former Austrian foreign secretary, were attacked.
The newspaper asserted that the two statesmen during negotia
tions in Bucharest acted in a manner which abased their countries.
Secretary Von Kuehlmann, it was represented, was seen often with
a well-known member of the underworld, while Count Crernin every
evening visited a theater where dancing girls were among the per
formers. The Vorwaerts says:
"The entire affair is like an intrigue at the court of Louis XIV.
The plotters went with their accusations about Dr. Von Kuehlmann's
'immorality' to a very highly placed lady who is well known for her
strict moral code, through whose influence they hoped to achieve
their object." '
DUTCH HOLD
OUT AGAINST
HUN DEMAND
Chamber Told "Negotiations
Are Not Progressing Smooth
ly," as Holland Is Unable
to Increase Exports.
(By Associated Irss.)
The Hague, April 25. Replying to
questions from members of the first
chamber of parliament, Jonkheer J.
Loudon, minister of foreign affairs,
said today that no ship would sail
from Holland until a written . guar
antee had ben obtained that there
would be no further seizures of ves
sels. He said that he had gathered from
an interview with John W. Garrett,
American minister, yesterday, that
the latter supposed that a written as
surance had already been given.
"The intention was that six ships
should remain constantly in the ser
vice," he said, " and 1 have reason to
assume that that number will be ex
tended and that Germany will put no
obstacles in the way. I believe it can
be assumed that the allied govern
ments will observe their obligations
regarding the rationing of .Holland.
"The negotiations regarding an
economic agreement with Germany
are delayed by difficulties. I am un
able to give information at present as
to the stage of the negotiations, but
they are not progressing very
smoothly, principally because Hol
land would be unable to export much
more than she is at present."
The foreign minister added that he
had a written guarantee from Eng
land that ships which had left the
East Indies since March 23, or might
leave in the future, would not be
seized.
"AMERICAN NAVY '
IS ON ITS TOES," -'
ASSERTS DANIELS
New York, April 25. Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, while
in this city tonight to attend the ban
quet of the American Newspapers
Publishers' association, gave out the
following message to the public
through the Associated Tress:
"The American navy is on its toes.
War was declared April 6. We "had
destroyers in European waters May
6, more on the 17th, more on the 21st
and others later on. The co-operation
between Admiral Sims and the four
other American admirals and the
British U perfect and the results
speak for themselves.".
Secretary Daniels when asked if
he would comment o the British
naval exploit in raiding Zeebrugge,
said that he did not feel free to make
any statement until he had received
the official report of the British ad
miralty. ! Zeebrugge Blockaded;
U-Boats Now Must Use
Ostend Route to Sea
London, April 25. The Asso
ciated Press learns from a high
naval source that the operations at
Zeebrugge were a complete suc
cess, with the result that that the
Flanders flotilla now will be obliged
to resort to the Ostend route in put
ting to sea, from which the British
forces can more easily handle the
German ships.
In addition to the damage done
the mole and the German 'guns,
material and shipping, the channel
has been blocked by the cement
ships and a German dredger, was
destroyed. The loss of the dredger,
together with the blocking up of the
channel, must result in the speedy
silting up of the waterway and it
'will take at least several weeks to
clear the passage.
But for a change" in the wind,
which cleared away the smoke bank
and revealed the presence of the
British ships the operations at Os
tend probably would have proved as
successful as those at Zeebruesfe.
Income and Excess
Profits Taxes Yield
About $3,000,000,000
Washington, April 25. Income
and excess profits are now expected
to bring about $3,000,000,000 into
the treasury in June, or $500,000,000
more than had been estimated be
fore returns were filed. Secretary
McAdoo announced this today, giv
ing the first official information that
receipts would exceed previous es
timates of $1,226,000,000 for ex
cess profits and $1,200,000,000 from,
incomes. The taxes are due June 15.
FAMOUS LINER
OVERTURNS AND
SINKS AT DOCK
Steamer St. Paul Mysteriously
Wrecked While Being Warped
Into Pier , After Repairs;
Three Workmen Drowned.
(By Associated Fross.)
X An Atlantic Port, Aijril 25. The
American line steamship St. Faul,
famous passenger liner, overturned
and sank at its pier here today while
being warped into a pier preparatory
to loading for a trip to Europe. Three
workmen were tlrowned.
The St. (Paul was not under steam,
but was being brought by tugs from a
dry dock, where for the last week it
had been undergoing repairs. On
board at the time were several hun
dred men a majority of them em
ployes of the dry dock who had been
sent with the vessel to complete their
work while it was being loaded. The
steamer now is lying on its port side
wirh about 10 feet of its hull amid
ships above the water, and is com
pletely submerged both fore and aft.
Escape by Climbing Over RaiL
A general alar.m was sounded
through the ship when it was seen
that it was in danger and, as fully
ten minutes elapsed before it turned
over, it is thought nearly all (he men
reached the deck. A large number
escaped by simply climbing over the
rail and onto the exposed side of the
vessel as it came uppermost, while
others leaped into the water and were
picked up by the tugs.
Several possible causes for the ac
cident were advanced,, but owing to
the uncertainty surrounding it no
definite statement was given out and
will not be, officials of the line said,
until officers of the navy and federal
officers and representatives of the
company can complete an investiga
tion. Twelve men were injured.
One of the causes advanced, which
was supported by experienced marine
men, was that the ship listed so far
that water entered open coal ports,
this resulting in an overcoming of the
center of gravity. Another explana
tion offered was that the ship's sea
cocks might have been open, either
by accident or design.
Before leaving the dry dock the
navy gun crew, which accompanies
the vessel on its trips through the
war zone, went aboard the St. Paul.
All these men escaped, naval officers
said. The St. Paul had no cargo
and aside from the damage to the
machinery and to her interior furnish
ings the loss will be confined to the
cost of salvage operations.

(By Associated Fress.)
Washington, April 25. Critics of
the Overman bill renewed today their
vigorous opposition to its proposed
authority foe the president to reor
ganize government agencies and
many speeches for and against the
measure prevented the expected vote
on pending restrictive amendments.
A surprise cf the day was the intro
duction of a new amendment author
izing the president to appoint a single
executive officer to control the air

(By Associated Press.) .. '
The great double German drive, in the Semme and Armentieres sectors,
which began Wednesday morning, has developed into a terrific struggle. Th
tide of battle has surged to and fro during the last'Wo days, with the decision
still in the balance. '
The British, having been forced back out of Villers-Bretonneux,
launched a counter attack and swept the Germans' back almost to the lines
which were held before the present fighting began.
The French have been driven back out of Hanguard-En-Santerre, but are
holding their positions close by, while on the line southwest of Ypres the Brit
ish have been compelled to withdraw slightly before furious attacks along the '
Meteren-BailleuMVytschaete line. - ' V
LARGE FORCES
HURLED AGAINST
ALLIED LINES
French and British Offer Most
Desperate Resistance (to At
tacks at Hangard and
Villers-Bretonneux. -
(By Associated rrn.)
With the French Army in France,
April 25. Attacks by the Germans in
Picardy today, if large forces engaged
may be taken as an indication, evi
dently were intended as the forenun
ner of a new thrust towards Amiens.
From dawn until night, the enemy
threw strong- assaulting columns re
peatedly at Hangard, where the fight
ing was of the most desperate char
acter. , ' .;-
Towards evening some of the en
emy detachments managed to obtain
a footing in Hangar wood, lying about
a mile northward of the village, and
also in the eastern outskirts of the
town itself. Their hold, however,
was precarious, for the French abso
lutely declined to give way.
A little further to the north the
Germans attacked the British units
holding Villers-Bretonneux. This ap
parently was part of the same forward
movement. Here also the struggle
was of thi fiercest kind. The French
fought side by side with the British
and sundown found the combatants
still at close grips. There were slight
fluctuations of the line here as well
as other points, but there were no
serious retirements.
Shells Poured Ino Enemy.
The French artillery poured shells
almost point blank into the German
infantry which, however, appeared to
have adopted extended formation dur
ing the attack.
The enemy infantry battalions now
are coming into the fight with the
lightest possible equipment. The ma
jority of the men do not even carry
hand grenades. 1
British Score in Rally.
With the British Army in France,
April 25. Success in the southern sec
tor of the battle front and a long,
fierce struggle in the north have fallen
to the lot of the allied arms in the
contest for vital positions which the
Germans have been trying at heavy
cost of life to secure.
The latest information from the
south is that Villers-Bretonneux ap-'
parently has been retaken sis a re
suit of a brilliant British counter at
tack, and not only hjs the town been
virtually cleared of the enemy, but
a large portion of th original posi
tions north and south of it have been
reclaimed.' German dead are heaped
about the unhappy town and some
700 prisoners are in British camps.
In the north Mount Kemmel pas
been attacked desperately by a great
force of German troops especially
trained for mountain warfare. The
attempt on Mount Kemmel is another
move in the Germans obvious scheme
to get control of a chain of hills run
ning east and west in this sector

U. S. WEN IN BATTLE.
Wounded Americans are arriving
at a hospital behind the French lines
in the somme sector, snowing tnat
General Pershing's men are bearing
their share of the burden of the great
battle.
Notwithstanding the frantic prepa
rations made by the Germans for,
continuation of their drive toward
Amiens and the extreme violenct of .
the righting, their gains thus far in
that region have been very small.. ;

GERMAN GAINS SLIGHT. .
It is unofficially reported that four
to six German divisions, or from
48.0UO to J.OOO men, have been :
hurled at the British and French lines
near Ypres. The retirement of the
British in ihn sector must have been
small, for there are no great gains
