GREAT BATTLE
NOW DEPENDS ON
FOCHy ESERVE
Director of British War Office
Declares Struggle or West
Front Will Be Won
-, by Allies.
London, April 26. "In the end it
fcill be a question of who has the last
reserves," said General Delma Rad
eliffe, chief director of military opera
tions at the war office, in a review of
the western front situation this after
noon. '
"These reserves on the western
front are now in the hands of Gen
eral Foch, in whom both armies have
the fullest confidence. He so far has
employed only a small proportion of
his available reserves."
"The net result in the Kemmel
sector so far is that the Germans have
gained about 2,000 yards on a front
of about 1,200 yards. This gain is not
large, but it involves very important
ground and there is no question that
it it a very serious loss.
No Decisive Gain.
There is nothing decisive about
the loss of Kemmel hill, but it is one
.of the most important tactical feat
ures, as, the hill is an observation
Ipoint for all the ground to the' north.
:It still remains to be seen, however,
whether it will remain in the enemy's
hands.
"Our line 'to the north is all right
and it is entirely possible to hold on
to the Ypres sector, even if the enemy
is on Kemmel. But his presence there
is not convenient and we hope to get
Urn off."
Ia alluding to the fighting on the
.western front since April 23, Gen
eral Xadcliffe said:
- "In all the fighting since this date
we see the Germans at their old game
of striking at the junction between
the British and the French. It is still
clear that the German's intention is
to wear out the British army.
He has been unable to break the
line or divide the British and French,
and, therefore, he is hammering the
British army wherever possible. This
object has been countered by the ac
tion of the allied commander-in-chief
in sending French troops to the
north front, making it more difficult
for the Germans to continue their
game of fighting the British alone.
"There is no reason to alter the
view that a big offensive on a far
greater scale than ever is still to be
expected between Arras and Amiens,
with the object to drive in and sep
arate the British and French. So far
the whole enemy success has been
merely- tactical. He has won ground
and, taken positions and guns, but has
achieved no change in the strategical
situation. He hoped" to do this in a
fortnight, but he has been five weeks
at it without succeeding. Wfi must ex
pect this process to go. on all sum
mer." J
Washington, April 26. How two
companies of Italian auxiliary troops
digging trenches for the allies in
Flanders fought attacking German
troops with their pick axes is told
in a dispatch today from Rome. The
message says:
"The first Italian troops reached
France last November. These con
tingents made munitions for artillery
fand showed discipline and capacity.
Later on others arrived under uen
eral Tarditi and were employed jn
construction, proving themselves ex-i
German Submarines Land
' Guns oh Coast of Tripoli
'Washington, April 26. German
submarines have been landing guns,
, food and munitions on the coast of
Tripoli,- according to an official dis
patch today from France. The dis-
-patch quotes General Nivelle, now
commanding the North African
troops, as saying that the situation in
the section open to German-Turkish
attack on the Tripolitan coast is well
consolidated against attacking allied
native tribes who have been co
operating . with the Germans and
Turks. '
French recruiting of friendly na
tives continues and these men become
'good soldiers in six months.
Enemies Dig Own Grave,
Asserts Kaiser Wilhelm
Amsterdam, April 26. "The people
who wish to destroy us are digging
-their own graves," said Emperor Wil
liam, as , quoted in an interview by
Karl Rosner, which the Dusseldorf
Anzeiger publishes.
The emperor, who was commenting
on the large amouny subscribed to the
new war loan, said further:
"Our victories in the field andthe
victories of the Germans at home
must make those over yonder realize
that we cannot be subdued by arms
and economic isolation."
Szyerinyi Fails in Effort
. To Form Hungarian Cabinet
Amsterdam, April 26. According
to the Budapest newspapers, Joseph
' Szyerinyi, minister of commerce, has
failed to form a Hungarian cabinet in
succession to Dr. Wekerle, who re
cently resigned. Szyerinyi's failure
was due to the dematid made by the
Karolyi and socialist parties that Par
liament be dissolved in the autumn, if
the- lower house failed to pass the
electoral reform bill ' in its original
form. ' The newspapers say Dr.
.Wekerle probably will be entrusted
again with the formation of a cabinet.

Italian Trench Diggers Rout
Advancing Huns With Pickaxes
cellent workmen, not displeased that
they were unable to carry arms
against the foe like the French and
English.
"Two auxiliary Italian companies,
working in the trenches in Flanders,
found themselves in front of the ad
vancing Germans. The German sub
altern in charge ordered the soldiers
to do. some work before surrendering,
but tht Italians fell upon the Ger
mans with their picks, killing many,
capturing others and retiring in an
ordereljr manner."
GERMANS PUNISH
ADMIRAL BEATEN
IN BRITISH RAID
Teuton Commander at Zee
brugge Deprived of Cpm
mand; Huns Admit Was
Bold Sea Stroke.
Amsterdam, April 26. Vice Ad
miral Schroeder, the commander at
Zeebrugge, according to reports
reaching here, will be deprived of his
command for being taken by surprise
by the British Tuesday.
German newspapers in commenting
on the raid at Zeebrugge, generally
take the hint given in the official re
ports atCerlin and represent the en
terprise as, having been a failure.
Some, however, admit that the attack
was made with great boldness.
GERMANS NOT HANDICAPPED.
"The t cement-laden Bhips which
were sunk close to the coast will not
hinder the exits and entrances of the
German naval forces,' the Koelnische
Zeitung says.
The Lokal Anzeiger says the raid
ers succeeded in blocking the .water
way to a great extent, but that the
U-boats still are able to leave their
harbor,. as a narrow passage remains.
The Weser Zeitung regards the Brit
ish, version as a fantastic substitution
of the wish for the deed and adds:
"It is a success of which we Ger
mans may toast."
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung sees
in the attack evidence that the exis
tence of a submarine base at Zee
brugge is making "life intolerable for
England." '
Ishii Returns to Washington
' To Be Japanese Ambassador
Washington, April 26. Viscount
Kikujiso Ishii, new Japanese ambas
sador to the United States, arrived
in Washington today accompanied by
the Countess Ishii and a staff of secre
taries. He succeeds former Ambas
sador Sato, who returned to Japan
several months ago.
30,000 Cars Ordered.
Washington, April 26. Orders for
30,000 box and coal cars to cost in
the aggregate between $80,000,000 and
$90,000,000 were placed today by Di
rector General McAdoo with the
American Car and Foundry company
at fixed prices which will represent
about 5 per cent profit.
DUTCH EMBARGO
ON UNCLf SAM'S
WAR MATERIALS
Washington Aroused by Ac
tion Which Will Cripple
America; Retaliation for
Seizure of Ships.
Washington, April 26.-Hofland has
placed an embargo on the exportation
from the Dutch East Indies of tin, tin
ore, cinchona bark, quinine, quinine
salts and kapok, all of which are
needed in large quantities by the
United States for war purposes.
Official notification of the embargo,
effective April 22, was received today
and has caused much perturbation.
Officials declined to indicate the prob
able reasons, but in some quarters it
was suggested the measure was in re
taliation for the American requisition
ing of Dutch ships. Elsewhere it was
thought to have been prompted by the
critical situation in which Holland
finds itself with Germany.
The embargo on tin and tin ore will
prove especially embarrassing. Sup
plies needed for munitions and food
preservation were expected to come
from the Dutch East Indies, as the
British are taking the entire output
of the Straits settlements.
Cinchona bark, quinine and quinine
Baits are needed for medicinal pur
poses by th'e army. Kapok is a vege
table product, used in making ham
mock mattresses for the navy.
Two Million Men Lost
To Germany During War
Amsterdam, April 26. Germany's
losses thus far in the war have been
2,000,000 men, according to a state
ment credited by the Frankfurter Zei
tung as having been made by General
Schulze before the main committee of
the German Reichstag.
Sick and wounded men to the num
ber of 750,000 had been able to return
to the front, according to General
Schulze, while 629,000 had been dis
charged as unfit for service, including
70,000 cripples. Up to date, the general
added, Germany had to reckon with
about 98,000 cripples.
Red Cross War Council Head
Homeward Bound From Front
Paris, April 26. Henry P. Davison,
chairman of the American Red Cross
War council, who has been on a tour
of inspection along the battle fronts
in France and Italy, left here today

Voluntary Censorship Bureau
Planned by Newspaper Men
New York, April 26. As the re
suit of a suggestion before the
American Newspaper Publishers' as
sociation by .Hopewell Rogers, its re
tiring president, the organization de
cided to seek co-operation by the gov
ernment in establishing a voluntary
censorship bureau composed of prac
tical newspaper men.
Mr. Rogers, in his address, classed
the government's publicity depart
ment as "incompetent and disloyal."
Under the plan proposed today a
committee of trained journalists
would be selected to gather from the
various departments news of interest
to the public and of value in the
prosecution of the- war, and at the
same time eliminate such material
publishers regard as unimportant.
The committee was appointed to
confer with the government depart
ments on this project.
