Besides Witstanding Heavy
Assaults,. British are Be
ginning to Strike Back
With Effect.
British Army Headquarters in
France, March 31. (Sunday) The
last 24 hours continued unfavorable
to the aggressive Germans along the
British section of the new battle front
and was a strikingly good period for
the defenders.- This morning 'the
British were holding their entire line
with strength and they had smashed
numerous heavy German attacks at
various points and had taken the in
itiative at several places successfully
The most intense fighting continu
ed south of the Somme, in the zone
where the French have been making
such a gallant stand. The outstand
ing feature of. the conflict on the
northern end of the front is that the
British again have killed a great
number of the enemy which, despite
'its harsh sound, is what will end the
" IlttI&u auu '
i war. i
the British initiated a for-
ward movement about Feuchy Copse,
east of Arras. They launched a local
attack at 3 o'clock this morning and
pressed it so vigorously that they re
claimed a stretch of territory 1,500
yards long and averaging about 200 j
yards in depth. This success had tac
tical advantages, but they were small
compared with the fact that the Brit
ish were able after the past 10 days
of gruelling work, to undertake an of
fensive operation.
South of the Somme, where thero
has been so much hard fighting, the
British appear to have the situation
well in hand and the town . hall of
Moreuil, about which sanguinary bat
tles have been swaying, was at last
reports still flying the; British flag de
fiantly from the steeple. One of
the most costly attacks-the enemy at
te'mpted yesterday was between Mor
iancour and the ; Somme where a
heavy assault was made against th
Australians shortly after midday.
The attackers came forward in mass
es and the British threw themselves
against the advancing lines' so fiercely
that the Germans were hurled back,
leaving 3,000 dead.

ON WAR WORK STRIKE
Norfolk, Va., April 1. The strike of
union carpenters employed in govern
ment work at the army and naval bas
is and Lamberts Point and Pig Point
depots this afternoon spread to prac
tically all skilled laborers in these
plants. The navy yard in Portsmouth
and the government aviation field in
Hampton also are affected. The men
1 are striking for higher wages, de
manding a minimum increase from 58
cents to 62 1-2 cents per hour. So
far as has been ascertained, the
government has taken no steps to
meet the demand.
Notice from the local carpenters
union that a strike would be called
this morning if the wage increase de
mands were not granted, was served
on Admiral Harris, chairman of the
War Control Board of the Hampton
Roads district, Friday morning, fol
lowing a meeting 'Of the carpenters
Thursday. Admiral Harris was in
Washington at the time. He imme
diately wired labor leaders here, tell
ing them that the matter of wage in
crease had been laid before the Na
vy Department, and asking them to
await decision of these officials,
which was expected in a few days,
before calling a strike. This, the
union leaders refused to do.
At the Bush Bluff army base, 500 J
carpenters laid down their tools, as
did the entire force of electricians,
plumbers and sheet metal men.
The men striking Jn the navy yard
include all carpenters working direct
ly for contractors.

DWD
Orders Issued to Learn Every
Detail About "the New
Enemy.
REASON NOW CLEAR
AS WHY THE CENSOR
Much of Information Sought
by Germans Would be Con
sidered Trivial by Civilians.
What They Want.
With the American Army in
France, Sunday, March 31. German
army leaders are exceedingly anxious
to obtain information concerning the
most minute detail of the American
army. This is disclosed by a cap
tured German document ; which in
structs every observer and patrol to
do his or its best to bring informa
tion about the new enemy.
-The captured document .starts out
by giving details that are known, such
as those regarding the American uni
form, and adds that the infantry is
equipped partly with English rifles,
and" that the artillery probably has
French guns. It says' that American
troops will continue training in France
and adds: "Nothing is known as yet
about the methods of fighting or
leadership
"From the preceding meagre de
tails," it continues, "it is evident that
sectors K and M have the honorable
task of obtaining as much information
as possible on particular features of
American fighting and outpost tactical
the information bulletin. Any obser
vation or identification, however insig
nificant, may be, of the greatest value
in connection with information al
ready at hand."i
Attention is drawn to 'self-evident
questions" which observers, patrols
and outposts are expected to find an
swers. Under the heading, "The en
emy's security," the document says:
"Are sentry posts sentry posts or
stronger posts? Further advanced re-
cononitering patrols? Manner of chal-
lenging? Behavior on post during day
and night? Vigilance? Ambush tactics
and cunning?
"Do they shoot and signal on every
occasion? Do the posts hold their
ground on the approach of a patrol
or do they fall back? Do they give
barrage fire signals? When are the
reliefs and what is the behavior dur
ing them? Have they any light sig
nals other than French ones?"
Under "enemy patrols" the docu
ment asks details on "strength, meth
ods of advance, behavior on meeting
and initiative."
These questions come under infor
mation on general behavior: "Are the
Americans careful and cautious? And
are they careful or noisy? What is
their behavior during smoke screens'?
What is their behavior at meal times?
When are these? Can concentration
be served? Is there much reconnoit
ering? How is the behavior day and
uight? Is there much machine gun
firing? Is there more or less trans
port of material than formerly?"
The Germans also want to know
whether during reliefs there are more
troops in the rear than is customary
with the French and what are the
times and sounds of reliefs. It is said
that used infantry and machine gun
bullets, unexploded shells ana shell
splinters are of special value. The
Germans want to know whether the
copper rotating bands have sharp in
cisions indicating hew or worn out
guns, the calibre of which can be de
termined by the curvature . q 1 the
splinters, according to the indenture.
Information regarding the color and
outside appearance of projectiles fired
by the Americans also is desired.
The German soldiers are ordered to
keep fuses, splinters of shells and
shell bases having factory initials
and numbers.
Under the heading, "enemy shell
ing," they are asked the American pe
culiarities compared with the French,
what objectives are preferred and
whether dugouts are shelled. The
document asks also that it be deter
mined whether the Americans Employ
bursts of fire or single shots at fixed
intervals and what is the normal fir
ing rate when observation is good.
Many of the above items, while ap
parently trivial, it is pointed out by
intelligence officers, indicate why the
cenorship has been obliged to delate
certain matter from press dispatched.
Since" the captured document was is
sued the ' Germans naturally have
found answers to many of the ques
tions, but about the others the' Amer
ican expeditionary force believes It
still has the enemy guessing. .

UN NOT THROUGH
WITH HIS
FORCE A
KILLED IN NEW YORK
Shot Few Hours Before He
Was to Give Evidence
Against Gamblers
New York, April 1. Seven hours
before the district attorney's office
was to have been Informed by Harry
Cohen,, also ; known as "Harry The
Yot,V of the name of "Men Higher
Up" in the prosecutor's anti-gambling
crusade, Cohen was shot and killed at
6:30 o'clock this morning. District
Attorney Swann immediately ordered
the apprehension of Sam Scheppes,
who was one pf the prosecution's star
witnesses against Charles Becker, the
police lieutenant who was executed
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
gambler, in 1912.
Scheppes and two other ,men who
were with him when the police visited
Scheppes' jewelry shop in Sixth ave
nue, were taken into custody a few
hours after the shooting.
They were hurried to the district
attorney's office.
The police said that Scheppes
place, established after the Rosenthal
shooting, and the convictions which
resulted, has recently been under
district attorney withheld the reason
for desiring Scheppes' appearance. It
was not asserted that he was near
when Cohen was shot, but the police
declare that he is identified In the
inquiry as a "friend of a woman who,
with two men, was arrested last-week
upon information furnished by 'Har
ry The Yot.' "
Cohen, according to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James E. Smith, had
for several weeks been a secret in
former. Against the advice of the assistant
prosecutor, Cohen several times vis
ited Smith's house openly with infor
mation which was considered valu
able. At daylight this morning Co
hen telephoned to Mr. Smith asking
him to meet him at Fifth Avenue and
Thirty-sixth street at 1:30 o'clock this
afternoon. "Be ready to hit the
mob," said "Harry The Yot," alluding
to the gamblers. "I've got the goods
on the main man."
The next Mr. Smith heard, Cohen
was dead with three bullets in his
body. Hurrying to the scene of the
shooting, a hall lobby in the West
92nd street, apartment where Cohen
lived with his wife, Mr. Smith was in
formed that Cohen was killed by a
man as yet unidentified. A negro
hall boy furnished the police "with a
description of the lawyer, whpm he
had pursued as far as Central Park,
where the man made his escape by
boarding a car.
Another figure in the Rosenthal
case is being sought "Bridgy" Web
ber, who was a principal witness for
the State in three Rosenthal" trials.
It was- at Webber's gambling place
that the gunmen assembled prior to
their departure for the Hotel Metro
pole where Rosenthal was killed.
"Harry The Yot", according to the
police, had something of a career of
crime before he met his fate today
as a "squealer." He was classified as
a night burglar, porch climber, pick
pocket and safe burglar, had been ar-
Tested nine times, and had
Senrea
one prison sentenee.
