We give a few extracts from the Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn., on the East St. Louis riot, which appeared in last Sunday's issue, taking up two columns in an editorial headed "Don't Carry a Rifle for the Kaiser." "Theodore Roosevelt lays the crime of the East St. Louis tragedy to labor." "Samuel Gompers denies. "Gen. Sherman of Illinois lays the crime to liquor. "ExGov. Dunne charges the crime to politicians and 'selfish manufacturers. "Others charge the crime to a German propaganda. "Elements from all of these alleged causes were factors in the East St. Louis tragedy. "It is a fact that every life lost at East St. Louis gives life to a German soldier and will take the life of an American soldier in France. Every murder committed in the United States will be a factor in prolonging the war in Europe. "Every riot in the United States will aid the Germans just as the winding of a battle or a skirmish. "And any group of men in a large city rioting are just as hurtful to this country as if they were a regiment of Germans in the same trenches in France shooting down advancing Americans. And this tremendous fact every American ought to appreciate. "The most lasting instinct of barbarism is racial prejudice, and this racial prejudice is based upon a fear that the other race is bent upon surviving even at the expense of destroying us. "We will never come into an era of peace until all mankind comes to the agreement and belief that the right of separate racial existence is inalienable as the right of the individual to life, water and air. "The man who starts a riot today, whether it be to lynch another man, or whether it be to fight a picket, to settle a labor quarrel or a personal dispute, not only strikes at the object in sight, but strikes a more deadly blow to his government." FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—DR. GRIFFIN TALKS ON EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT Dr. Griffin met his usual large audience Sunday morning after being away one Rabbit. His sermon was of that high spiritual and intellectual thought. The congregation at the close of the morning service greeted the pastor as though he had been away for months. Mrs. Griffin and their daughter, Alma, were received and welcomed by the church and friends with a feeling of Christian love. A Grafic Talk On East St. Louis Dr. Griffin gave a talk at the evening service to a large audience. His theme was, "Cause of the Race Migrating from the South and the East St. Louis Mob." It was both interesting and sad, especially the relating of the East St. Louis affair. He stopped off there for twenty-four hours on Wednesday, the 4th, and got things first handed from the refugees. He said he saw thousands of the unfortunate with their little budgets lined along Market street in St. Louis, Mo., many inquiring here and there of those they knew, if they had seen their wife, husband, daughter or son, as the case might be of which many of their loved ones were never found. As Doctor Griffin said, men told him who got out barely with their lives, they saw children run out of their burning home to be knocked down by big husky men and then picked up and thrown back into the maddened flames of their own burn in ghomes. Women were seen to run out of their burning house with their night apparel in flames, only to be knocked down by some beastly man and then white women would tear the flaming clothes from them and beat them with clubs, rocks and bricks. The fences and houses of these people were saturated, while they were asleep, with barrels of coal oil and them hundreds with gun in one-hand and torch in the other, did their murdrous work. The pastor will preach a special sermon Sunday morning, and those who prefer sitting in the downstairs auditorium, would do well to be a little ahead of the regular church time, 11 o'clock. The auditorium seats about one thousand comfortably Strangers are always welcome. Come out and hear the spiritual and intellectual giant of two climes. K. P.

It is said he told some small boys that were present he wanted to show them how he could dive and that he ventured too far east in the lake, when he became exhausted with no one present large enough to go to his rescue. Clay attended the First A. M. E. church and was a member of Class 7 in the Sabbath school. It is against the rules of the city to bathe in the lake, which the young unfortunate youth was not aware of. The family have the sympathy of the community in their untimely be reverence.

BIRTHDAY PARTY. There was a little birthday party given at the Children's Home, corner Ninth and Washington boulevard last Thursday evening in honor of little Breston Jennings. Master Jennings was four years old. A dainty four-course lunch was served, consisting of sandwiches, potato salad, cream and cakes, oranges, bananas, candy and nuts. Those present, Little Mildred Owens, Hazel Owens, Ceell Owens, Oliva Scott, Master Dan Mathews, Weston Robbins, Johnnie Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins, Mrs. Mathews, Miss Phynola Moore.

E. church here for four and one-half years, dropped in on his old friends last Friday and spoke to a nice audience that evening. His message was of that usual spilt racial kind. His many friends who were present enjoyed it as of old. Dr. Ransom is always welcome in the state's metropolis by a huge number of friends' by both races. He is now pastoring St. John's church at Wichita. ATCHISON, KANSAS Sepecial to The Advocate—The citizens of Atchison were given a rare treat last night at the A. M. E church in that famous lecture, "Don't Be a Quitter," by Prof. G. A. Gregg, of Western University. An unusual and appreciative audience was present. The lecturer handed his subject with great ease and his eloquence of thought, rivelled its substance on the mind of every hearer. The professor has just enough humor in his lecture to hold a mixed audience. THE ADVOCATE DELIVERED AT YOUR-DOOR EVERY WEEK FOR ONLY 15c PER MONTH. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JULY 13, 1917. WHAT DES MOINES REGISTER SAYS ABOUT EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT We publish here an editorial taken from the Des Moines Daily Register, on the East St. Louis riot. Notice the comparisons mentioned of certain cities. It will be well for our readers to understand that East St. Louis holds about the same relation to St. Louis proper, that Covington, in the old days, held to Sloux City. The Register is assured by those who know East St. Louis well that a lower grade white population is not congregated anywhere than is to be found there. Kansas City, Kansas, is in many respects more progressive than the larger city across the river. It not infrequently happens that a city annex congregates many of the best people. But in St. Louis the worst seem to have drifted across the river into a community by themselves. It is important to know this fact in order to properly estimate some of the things that were done in the riot against the colored people who had come north to find employment. —Des Moines Register, NEGRO STRUCK BY STREET CAR. Ike Reed, 58 years old, was severely bruised Tuesday morning when a Chelsea car struck him at Twenty-sixth street and New Jersey avenue. Reed was working between the tracks for the company when the accident occurred. Independence, Kansas June 29,1917 Whereas, There are a few friends here and there who believe in a square deal to the race; Whereas, There are always persons who believe in constantly heaping upon the race the great burden of race prejudice, too heavy not only for the Negro race to carry, but is in part a blindrance to the welfare of American progress; Whereas, Our Honorable Governor, Arthur Capper, who is alawys in favor of justice to all men without regard to color or race; Whereas, He did step in and cause an injunction served on the part of the state against the film company to prevent the showing of the picture known as "The Birth of a Nation" in the state of Kansas. The case is now before the district judges of the district court of Shawnee county; Whereas, We are ever mindful of those who in reality show that they are large enough to see a wrong dealt out to a people without regard to color; Whereas, the Honorable Governor, Arthur Capper, even against the criticism of his own people is standing firm to prevent this race hatred picture to be shown in the state of anssas: Resolved, That we, the officers and delegates of the State Baptist Sunday School and B. V. P. U. convention assembled, extend to Governor Capper and his private secretary, Hon. Charles Sessions, our sincere thanks for their act of justice in this particular matter. Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be placed upon the official records of this convention. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. W. H.

Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Permit me to express the hope that the Department of Justice will con- duct the most searching investiga- tions into conditions at East St. Louis, to the end that the persons and influences leading up to the re- cent race riots may definitely be pointed out. If ever this country needed to use the strongest possible forces against this kind of outrage, that time is the present, with the country entering the world war in the interest of democracy, freedom, a fair chance for every man regardless of color or social position. It is certainly a most humiliating circu- stance that in the center of our own nation, in one of the great centers of population, a hundred or more helpless negroes, men and women were butchered by white men while officers of the law were present. East St. Louis provides the country one of the most convincing proofs of the damning effects of liquor. ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor INFORM US AT ONCE IF YOU EX PECT TO ATTEND K. P. GRAND LODGE Those who expect to attend the K. P. Grand Lodge and Court of Calanthe at Salina, Kas., which convenes July 24th will do themselves a favor by giving notice to the editor of The Advocate, 834 Nebraska avenue, as soon as possible. The delegation will leave here over the Union Pacific Monday, July 23rd at 10:40 a. m. and if a sufficient number goes a special coach will be at their disposal ED McQUAY KILLED Last Saturday night the pool hall at the corner of Third and Minnesota avenue was the scene of a shooting scrape in which Ed McQuay was killed by one Harris. It seems that some trouble between these two had occurred earlier in the evening over fifty cents which McQuay claimed due him from Harris and when the two met at this pool hall the trouble was renewed in which the victim was shot through the neck which was broken. (Extract from the original poem by Mrs. Margaret C. Matthews.) "Unite as a race and down with all mirth And lift our race up with best nations of earth! Let's up and be doing, our journey pursue! The harvest is ripe and the lab'rors are few. Let's all who've descended from African sod. Help "Ethiopia stretch forth, her hands back to God." —Matthews. A NEW ENTERPRISE OPENED. Mrs. Bettie Carson and Mrs. Mary B. Allen have opened up in their new building, 314 New Jersey avenue. A business enterprise worth while and especially to those who have bride in having a nice head of hair. They are real hair growers and give scientific scalp treatment which is their specialty. These two ladies are well known to the public and can be relied upon when they say a thing is true. Mrs. J. J. Lewis is president of the Booster club of the Metropolitan church. The woman of that church will raise money so put in a lavatory soo We are told that gamblers will not and dare not tell on each other, even if they know who the guilty parties are; that vengeance is sure to follow; that personal safety requires silence though the undertaker gets a job. Now, if the evil has gone that far the parents might just as well carry out the funeral service when the young man leaves home at the door, and not go to the cemetery. He is a walking, living candidate for that place and the last sad rites might as well be said. We would and desire to hold out hope for the most wayward of humanity, but it does seem a little useless. Shall we admit that there are vessels "to honor and vessels to dishonor" and as a parallel there are human beings that must remain in filth, dishonor, vice and degradation? While there are others who will shun it all and live in God's sunlight, a cheerful, happy, constructive life? Shall we consign the crap shooter to the dump heap of humanity, to the knife, the gun and the undertaker? Is it at all possible to reach him in a helpful way? Can the nickel or the dollar ever again look pure, the result of honest toll, to him? Is his wrist movement a millstone about him pulling him downward in spite of the wall of his children and the angulsh of his wife? is there no hope? Crap-shoot! Gambler! If you read these lines and your case is not hopeless, make yourself realize how helpful an earned dollar is, how inspiring to yourself, how toning and uplifting to your family. Take your money, the result and evidence of toll and sweat a bee-liner home, to your wife. Be a man! May Succeed Hollweg As Chancellor 4 DR.KARL HELFERICH Amsterdam, July 13.—The Imperial chancellorship has been offered Count Von Hertling who refused the honor, pleasing advanced age and ill health as his reasons for declining. 一 Dr. Karl Helfertich, German Vice-Chancellor, who, according to reports credited with coming from Berlita, may be named to succeed Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg as German Imperial Chancellor. A political crisis which may bring about the downfall of von Bethmann-Hollweg is said to be threatening in Germany. Missingings are said to have been expressed by members of the Reichstag as to the success of the submarine campaign and some of the military campaigns. URGE IMPROVEMENT ARGENTINE STREETS URGE IMPROVEMENT ARGENTINE STREETS SEVENTH WARDERS WANT A TRAFFIC WAY SOUTH OF THE KAW The Seventh Ward Improvement association, at its meeting tonight in Lapham's hall, will continue its discussion of means of improving Graystone avenue as a traffic way and boulevard along the south side of the Kaw. The improvement of Strong avenue from Thirty-fifth street to the west city limits and the extension of the street railway line to that point, also will be considered. The association is getting ready to hold its meetings in the new library building. Little Master Brown, who has been sick at his home on Walker, died Sunday.

Hugh J. Smith, city counselor, confronted by a majority of the city commission favoring the erection of an artificial gas plant, if such a move is necessary in order to obtain fuel at reasonable rates, made an important discovery today that may lead to a complete solution. According to Judge Smith, bonds to the amount of 10 per cent of the city's valuation can be issued for the erection of natural gas, water, electric light, heating, street railway and telephone plants, municipally owned and are unaffected by the maximum set on other bond issues. The entire question of the legality of such issue depends, Judge Smith said this morning, on the application of the provision for "heating" plants to artificial gas plants. No permission to build artificial gas works is contained in the law bearing on the case, a measure passed in 1905 and amended four years ago, but the law does provide for "heating" plants, which Judge Smith believes, may be construed to include plants for the production of artificial gas. L. H. Chapman, commissioner in charge of the city's big water and electrical plants, has been at work on plans for a solution of this vexed problem for some time. He raid today that he is not ready at this time to announce his plans. But if there is any way out there is a feeling here in Kansas City, Ks., among citizens and business men that Commissioner Chapman with his engineers and experts will be equal to the emergency. At the meeting of the commissioners last night James L. Beges, commissioner of streets and public improvements, brought the matter officially before the board by suggesting the necessity of some action. The plan announced by Mayor Mendenhall, published in The Globe on Wednesday, of prospecting for gas and coal on the city's property, at the water and electrical plant in the North Missouri bottoms, was discussed. There is a Kansas law authorizing an expenditure by a city of $5,000 for prospecting, and there is a strong probability that the city will take advantage of an opportunity that may bring a supply of coal or gas or both. At least, Mayor Mendenhall was instructed by the commissioners to go into a thorough investigation of the feasibility of the plan. Commissioner Chapman also announced at the meeting that the engineers of his department would be available for use in obtaining data and on motion of Gerard Little, commissioner of finance and revenue, Chapman's offer was accepted. Hugh J. Smith, city counselor, was also instructed to look up matters of law pertaining to the matter. AUSTRIA WANTS PEACE, TO ASK AN ARMISTICE Bishop of Namur Says Armistice Will Be Concluded After Saturday WANT TO TALK IT OVER Indications that Austria, Tiring of Germany as Side Partner, Is Ready to Quit The Tague, July 13.—Rumors, as yet unconfirmed, are that Austria-Hungary is about to ask for an armistice. Amsterdam, July 13.—The Handlesblad publishes a dispatch from its Brussels correspondent quoting from a recent statement by Monsignor Heylen, bishop of Namur, to the effect that Austria and the allies will conclude as armistice after, Saturday, July 15. The bishop's source of information is said to be unimpeachable. Mrs. C. O. Smith-Taylor of Nebraska avenue has returned from New Road, Ln., where she was called to the sick bedside of her father. She also visited her brothers in New Orleans. She left her parent father much improved. NO.45 GERMAN PEACE PARTYMAY TURN DOWN KAISER Reichstag, to Act Tomorrow, to Take Situation in Its Own Hands SITTING ON A VOLCANO Overthrow of Hollweg and Entire War Ministry Is Threatened Amsterdam, July 13:—Tomorrow promises to be the vital day in the present session of the German reichstag. In addition to current reports that the resignation of the entire German cabinet might be announced, the day's preamble includes general debate upon the political situation, finance, the foreign policy and, possibly, peace. The Liberals threaten to introduce a resolution setting forth the peace terms of the entire Liberal faction of the empire. So far, said a dispatch from Berlin, dated last night, the main committee of the reichstag has refused to vote an additional credit of $15,000,000,000 marks, but in spite of this re-fusal, it is understood that the credit will be discussed in the open sitting of the reichstag. Out of the political chaos that is shaking the German empire to its foundation there seemed today but one way out—the resignation not only of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, but of the entire ministry. Late dis patches from Berlin indicated that this was an immediate probability. The one way out it not, however confined to the mere resignation of the present cabinet and acceptance by the emperor. A supplementary step of tremendous historic consequence must be taken to make the escape from political revolt complete. Only one man can take it—the kaiser. Berlin, Wednesday, July 11 (via London July 13).—Emperor William has directed the following decree to the president of the Prussian ministry: "Upon the report of my state ministry, made to me in obedience to my decree of April 7 of the current year, I herewith decide to order a supplement to the same, that the draft of the bill dealing with the alteration of the Electoral Law for the House of Deputies, which is to be submitted to the Diet of the monarchy for decision, is to be drawn up on the basis of equal franchise. The bill is to be submitted in any case early enough that the next elections, may take place according to the new franchise. I charge you to make all necessary arrangements for this purpose: (Signed) (Countersigned) "WILLIAM. "BETHMANN HOLLWEG." NEGRO LAWYER TAKES OWN LIFE NEGRO LAWYER TAKES OWN LIFE FAILURE TO GET ARMY COMMISSION CAUSED VETERAN TO KILL HIMSELF Muskogee, Ok, July 9—Brooding because he failed to get a place as an officer in the army, W.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The darker races are wondering why the white races are killing each other in war. Is it a self-annihilating machine? Is it clearing the field for other races to come forward? Echo answers. Why this carnage? The war goes on. The Germans say "they will win or fight to the last gasp." It seems a war to the finish of Anglo-Germanlo-French civilization. The Attorney-General demands ranging for the race rioters of East St. Louis. We are trusting that justice will have the right-of-way. If there be fish in the lakes or ponds in the city let the people fish— a little reduction in H. C. L. if they catch any; if they don't the time pen is H. C. L. Stop swimming or supervise it. The dough that is saved by the makers ought to work a saving in the dough" the consumer has to pay! A great answerable question is going to be raised about "dough" saving and dough saving. The woman and man that have character, have more than gold. Both if them are made and it's possible or you to have the two. There are many of our small boys and girls running around the streets at a too late hour at night. It's not safe for them to be out so late as many of them can be seen most any night, and especially the company some of them can be seen with Parents would do well if they were more careful in knowing where their boy or girl goes and the company with which they associate. Let us take care of our boys and girls. When one has a feeling to do a thing, it's not safe at all times to act according to that feeling. It would probably be of greater value and far more satisfactory in the end if you would do more thinking first and let the feeling follow. The cause of the East St. Louis riot was thinking on one side and feeling on the other. When the whites went to the colored nomes on the day of the onslaught and asked them to turn over all their arms, which they did, the white men had been thinking, while the colored people felt that it was all right to do so, and we all know what followed. We didn't think. Since this awful human deed has occurred, some of our leaders have spoken publicly and advised the colored people to fortify themselves for the future. We cannot say their words of advice were by mere feeling, but let us advisedly think. Dr. L. K. Williams, who has been recuperating at Excelsior Springs, left here on route to Philadelphia and Washington, D. C., to preach. Miss Minnine Johnson, of Atchison, was here over Sunday, visiting Miss Gaynell Johnson and her mother on North Sixth street. Miss Leona Green and her mother, Mrs. Mary Green, and Baby Earl Jackson left Monday for Boulder, to visit their sister and daughter. Mrs. Morton, of State avenue, has resigned after a nice visit with relatives in Monroe, Moy, and other points in the state. Mrs. Susan Banks is spending a few days up county with her son, Edward. She and Mrs. Amanda Sanders say they have peaches on their trees. Mrs. Newsome is an expert fisherwoman. Allen chapel raised in its monthly trustee offering $70 last Sunday. That is fine.

Same thing from Highland. Speak up and let us know what you are doing. S. M. T.s are working on the quiet: They say to other lodges, "Watch us!" Mrs. Johnson handles the women nicely. Banks, Darnett and Monroe have gone back into the bottoms. The Missouri river will have to show them again. That is courage. Young men go home early of nights. Don't sit under the electric lights. Let the bugs that sleep in the day have that place. A hint to the thoughtful will put them to thinking. Better rest at home a little while longer than in the cemetery. Dr. and Mrs. Kealing left Tuesday for Colorado Springs. Trust they will come back jumping. They go to a delightful climate and city. We'd like to be there, too. A SAD FUNERAL. Rev.

NEED MILK EXPERT TO ADMINISTER LAW NEED MILK EXPERT TO ADMINISTER LAW MAYOR MENDENHALL SAYS THE CITY MUST HAVE A CAPA- BLE-MAN The city administration is outspokenly for expert, efficient and recognized milk campaign management. In a statement this morning Harry A. Mendenhall declared, that while it would probably be advisable from a city-patriotism standpoint to give the appointment of milk overseer and dairy advisor to a local expert, if one can be found to compare favorably in every way with experts at Mahattan or elsewhere, no degree of efficiency must be sacrificed for such a consideration. "We need the co-operation of the state agricultural college and of Mr. Neal, who has already given us valuable assistance in starting the campaign for pure milk," the mayor said. "The man with the best qualifications for actual results is the man we want. If we find him in Kansas City, well and good. But if we find him elsewhere, we will import him." RUSSIANS SMASH GERMAN TRENCHES RUSSIANS SMASH GERMAN TRENCHES KAISER'S MEN SOUTH OF LEMBERG ENDANGERED BY CAVING IN. London, July 13.—The front immediately to the west of Hallez, the southern gateway to Lemberg, has been outflanked by the Russian army under General Korniloff in one of the most brilliant strategic feats of the war. The entire Teuton line south of the Galician capital down to the Carpathians is in critical danger of caving in. The Moscowites' capture of Kalucz, until recently the Austrian staff headquarters, places the Russians in position to drive northward and tackle the Teutons from the rear, unless the latter get, out or are reinforced in the eleventh hour.

Twelve hundred copper strike agitators deported in 24 cattle cars were refused admittance to Colorado.

In a speech from the throne, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, in opening the extraordinary session of Parliament, according to dispatches from the Hague, warned of the peril which may force Holland to again "use her utmost strength for liberty." The Queen said: "Our relations with foreign Powers are favorable. There are many reasons for gratitude, but let us not forget that so long as the war wages dangers threaten the country, and the people may again be called upon to use their utmost strength for liberty and independence.

Girls Have Pretty Face And Beautiful Complexion An Atlanta man makes new discovery that makes an old face look years younger. If your skin is dark, brown or covered with freckles or blemishes, just use a little Cocotone Skin Whitener; it made with conconut oil and is perfectly harmless. A few days' use will improve your looks 100 per cent. The worn-out skin comes off evenly, leaving no evidence of the treatment, the new healthy underskin appearing as a lovely new complexion. Just ask your druggist for an ounce of Cocotone Skin Whitener, and if he will not supply you send twenty-five cents to The Cocotone Co., Atlanta, Ga., and they will send you a box by return mail: If your hair is hard to comb, is kinky, nappy and will never stay straight, just use Cocotone. Hair Dressing and it will become straight, long, soft, and will be beautiful in a few days; mail orders filled 25c for large box.

President Menocal has requested Congress for a sweeping selective draft law which will exempt none from Ite workings. Other leaders be- Ueve that this is going too far in this country at this time. The work- Ing of the United States law is being watched with great interest bere aud throughout the island. It is estimated that from the available eligible popu: lation im Cuba an army’ of 100,000 men fully equipped could be raised speed- ily and with light inconvenience, should the necessity arise, The attitude of the administration towani the pending measure Is well eapressed by Dr. Ricardo Dolz, leader of the Conservative party and Prest- dent of the Cuban Senate, who said today: “I cannot think of any reason why the Conservative party should net iend its support to the President of the republic to implant the obligatory rallitary service. ‘This 1 sa duty im- posed by the Constitution on every » Cuban citizen, and, therefore, we may discuss the details of this service but not its principle, as it would be against the Constitution te do so. Furthermore, we ‘have tne American Congress as an example in passing recent legislation. During A state of war the President is principally re sponsible for the security of the na- tlon, and Congress should accept all recommendations from the Executive under these circumstances, and no ob- structions should be put in his way in times in which the country is ina state of war. “Congress, in my opinion, should grant ungrudgingly all requests trom the Executive.” ‘Im answer to the charge by certain opponents of the measure that in- terests of edycation in Cuba would suffer through a universal draft meas- ure. Dr. Gabriel Casuso, head of the University of Havana, asserted: “I do not believe that the obligatory military service will cause soy dam- age. I speak of course, thinking of the students av the university. On the contrary, I think the service will be deneficial, as the university stu- dents would expand their faculties in the service of their country and would form a strong nucleus to di- rect the movement, “The hands of the government should be left free to act at this time, and all citizens should obey orders. “I have always advocated physica! culture at the university, and even recommended that they take military exercises. My contention has been proved by the fact that i the last uprising it was the students who gave the detter service to their country. “We have gone into this war to strengthen our ties with the United States, Germany 4s far away, it ts (rue, but we must prepare ourselves . tor all emergencies.” London, July 11.—The Germans in West Flanders have undertaken a Powerful offensive movenient, pene- trating British positions over a front ot 2,400 yards and reaching the right bank of the Yser river near the North sea. The British positions Were entered to a depth of 600 yards. ‘This German success was admitted in tho official report issued by tha Brit- ish war office at noon. It 4s possible the Germans may be making another great eoffrt to break through the English channel. Twice ‘defore have they launched violent of- fensive movements in West Flanders ‘with that object in view, but always they were frustrated by the stubborn resistance of the allies. ‘The German assault followed a tremendous bombardment of the Britlsh and Belgian positions from the North sea to a point near Diz- mude. s It was evident from the Intensity of fhe fire that the Germans had concentrated a heavy mass of artil- Jery. Concentrations of German troops also were reported by British avistors. The Germans in West Piandere are in the: army group of Prince Rupprecht. ‘MAN ARRESTED WITH MOTOR - CAR HAD $8 CASES OF .
