Each Machine Placement and Dugout Indicated on Map. Willi American Army in France. A plan of attack, including a map of the American positions. Indicating every dugout, which was removed from the body of a Prussian captain which led to the recent assault upon the sec tor northwest of Toul, shows how com pletely the Germans prepare their raids If, In fact, this was but a sira pie raid not having as its ultimate ob Ject the retention of a portion of the salient. The map goes Into such detail as to show every machine placement, every trench and every depression In the ground within the American lines. At the bottom there (b simply a line drawn, labelled "our front line." Along this line are five shaded portions, each marked "nest." Four rehearsals were held for the attack and the troops who made It were specially picked from new ar rivals of fresh troops In the Bector. They were told that the Americans were In front of ttjem. Out From Their Neat. After the artillery had nearly level ed the American position, the Ger man! started out from their nests, each, of which contained 40 infantry men, one lieutenant and three pio neers to precede the Infantry and Ave to follow It. The two groups upon te American extreme right went around this flank and the group upon the extreme left carried out a similar movement there. Washlngotn On April 6, the first anniversary of the United StateB' en try Into tho war, the third liberty loan will open. There will be a cam paign of three or four weeks. In announcing the date, Secretary McAdoo said the amount of the loan the interest rute and other features such as convertablllty of bonds of pre vious issues, maturity and terms of payment, are yet to be determined, i and that new legislation will be nec essary before plans can be completed. The fact that the amount of the loan Is dependent on further legisla tion indicates that it will be far more than J3.000.0oo.000, the remainder of authorized but unissued bonds, and the fact that certificates of Indebted- 1 ness now being sold In anticipation of , loan bear 4 1-2 per .tent Interest, af fords some indication of the Interest ' rate. How large the loan shall be depends i largely, however, on the fate of the pending war flnanco bill carrying an appropriation of a half-billion dollars and action on the railroad bill, with its appropriation of a similar amount, i Although Mr. McAdoo made no spe cific announcement. It is now taken i for granted In official circles that ' there will be but one more loan be fore June 30, the end of the fiscal year, j The statement concerning the date of the campaign was made at this time. Secretary McAdoo explained to ! give every community time to prepare j for the big bond sale, and he strongly j advocated popular demonstrations of j palriotism on the day of the opening of the loan and second year of war. j After starting the date of the cam i paign opening, the secretary con tinued: "April 6 will forever be a consecra ted day in American history, and it seems peculiarly appropriate that the opening of the second year of our par ticipation in this war for the honor and rights of America and the free dom of the world should be celebrated with a nation wide drive for another liberty loan. "The camaign should begin with great demonstrations of patriotism In every city, town and hamlet In the country that will truly express the spirit of aroused America."

From France. MAY THE MEATLESS MEAL IS NOW SU8PENDED Wasington. Temporary suspension of the meatless meal and of the spe cial restrictions against the use of pork on Saturday was announced by the food administration as a readjust ment of Its food conservation pro gram. Increased meat production and the necessity for still greater saving In wheat, it was declared, make the , change advisable. The suspension is tor an Indefinite period, and probably win last tnree months or longer. LEAVE TASK TO THE JAPANESE ALONE To Take Steps to Combat German Aggression In Siberia. Washington. Indications now point to an agreement between the entente powers and America to confide to Japan alone the task of taking such' measures as may be necessary to com bat German aggression and influence In Siberia and to protect the military stores at Vladivostok. No final con clusion has been reached, however, and it was said in high official quar ters that condition were channglng so rapidly and so many new factors were entering Into the problem that it would be unsafe to predict overnight what the Issue might be. Exchanges are proceeding rapidly between the entente governments and Washington and the matter was con sldered at a cabinet meeting. It la understood that the atate department la being slowly but steadily Influenced to accept the view which seems to obtain in Great Britain and Franc and possibly In Italy. That Is that a single power with an efficient army and navy within easy reach of Siberia and not otherwise employed, and act ing In conformity with a general agreement might be better able to deal with the situation than any inter national force, such as was at first contemplated. GENERAL BIDDLE MAY BE SENT ABROAD FRE8H MASSARES ARCE REPORTED IN ARMENIA London. The Copenhagen r.irre- . apondent of the Exchange Telegraph company says information has Been received that Turkish soldiers have committed new massacres In the dls- ' trlct of Armenia which has been- de serted by the Russians. HJalmar ; Brantlng, editor of th Social Dem oaraten, haa telegraphed two German eociallat parties to make energetic representations to the German gov ernment, the dispatch arid Washington. Numerous changes In the personnel of the general staff of the army are expected to follow the arrival here of Major General Peyton C. March, who landed at an Atlantic port, returning from France, to as sume his duties as acting chief of staff. Officers here have no knowl )dge of plans General March may have laid in this regard, but it has been assumed that he will draw to his aid men in whom he has confidence. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS PROBABLY BROKEN OFF London. A message received by the bolshevik government In Petro grad from Brest-Litovsk ordering a train nnder military guard to meet the Russian delegates at Horoshaeta, wa considered by the government as prob ably signifying that the peace negotia tion have been broken of, according to a wireless communication received bar from Petrograd. Washington. Further evidence of the growing strain in relations be tween Germany and Austria over the refusal of the latter to participate In the renewed attack upon Russia Is given in an official dispatch received here from France. It quotes the Aus trian premier as formally reiterating on February 22 that Austria-Hungary will take no part in military action against Russia or Rumania, and will not send her troops into Ukraine. The dispatch follows: "Charles 1 paid a visit to William II the 22nd of February. Ludendorff was present at the Interview. If we are to judge from the tone of the In terview it must have been lacking In cordiality. There seems to be little doubt but what a serious conflict has broken out during the week between the courts of Vienna and Berlin and which Germany is determined to set tle if need be by violent measures. "The situation of the dual monarchy is such that the Vienna government in order to avert a catastrophe has been obliged to distinguish by means of public declarations Its own policy from that of Germany. The report that at the conference of February 14 Hertllng and Ludenorff had decided to pay no attention to the Russian demobilization and to prepare to be gin the conflict on the east front, caused a great stir throughout Aus tria. It was not simply the dissenting nationalities, the Czech, the Slov enes, or the Poles, who do not desire to fight any more, but It is the mass of the population of German origin who refuse to sacrifice themselves any longer to assure the triumph of Prussian imperialism. -Aa official note of the 16th had announced that Austria for her part would continue to consider the war aa terminated with Russia and would abstain from taking part in the oper ation! planned by the German com mand, A second note of the 19th re peated the same statement When asked to give' further particular at the sitting of the chamber on the Z2d the Austrian premier formally stated: " The words ottered by . different deputies have proved that the explan ation which ha been furnished up to present by me have not been suffl clently explicit. I repeat, therefore that Austria Hungary will participate In no way in the military action which ll now being carried on by Germany against Russia. I repeat that there Is no question of having our troops penetrate into Ukraine with whom w are at peace. I repeat that the armis tice eist. between Austria-Hungary and Rumania and that we are only considering entering as early a pos sible Into peace conversation with this country.

The state department was advised by Ambassador Francis that the German army was only eight hours' march from Petrograd and that he was preparing to leave the Russian capital with his staff. This message, which was sent by way of Peking, said Mr. Francis would join the Chinese and Japanese llplo- mata. also preparing to leave. It did not refer to plans of the European diplomats. It was taken for granted at the department that the ambassador has abandoned an Idea of following the Lenlne-Trotzky authorities to a tem porary capital and that the route chosen Is that over the Trans-Siberian railroad into China. No Instructions have been sent by the state department to Mr. Francis who. In all his negotiations with the de facto government in Petrograd ha used his own judgment. An abandonment of Russia will be construed by officials here as an in dication that the ambaasador regards the situation of the bolshevik! govern ment was practically hopeless. Fear was expressed that with the occupa tion of Petrograd by the Germans and the removal to Moscow or any other point of the bolshevik! headquar ters anarchy would become even more evident throughout the country. Realizing tna possiDlllty of such a condition some concern 1 felt for the safety of the ambassador and the American who will accompany him on the long trip across Siberia. ATTACK IE i . BUT ARE REPULSED WITH SOME L08SE8 TO THE ATTACKERS. MACHINE GUNS EFFECTIVE The Americans Suffered No Casual ties, But Five French Soldiers Were Wounded. With the American Army In France A strong German attack following a, heavy barrage firse against the American trenches to the Chemln-Des-Dames sector was repulsed with losses to the attackers. The well placed American machine guns sent streams of bullets Into the advancing enemy and as the German barrage lire lifted the American artillery quickly laid down a curtain of fire, the Germans retiring without a single prisoner. There were no American casualties. Five French soldiers were wounded during the fighting. The Americans stayed in their dug outs until the proper time, when they jumped to the guns and fought like veterans. One officer and one man were killed and two were wounded by enemy shell fire. One American soldier was "gassed." The Germans made a gas attack also In this sector, firing B0 projectiles of high per cent gas and 20 high explosive shells. One American soldier Is dead and eight are nuH'crlng from the effects of polRonous gas, so far as reported, hut it is probable that more casualties will develop, as in the Toul sector. There was another attack, but the j number of casualties to the American troops In this sector since they be. came engaged cannot be determined All the killed and wounded in these operations are from the Xw England States.

In addition, there was no court of arbitration in which Germany eould place, her trust, he said. The old accusation that Great Britain's war aim are imperialistic was reiter ated by the chancellor. "What About the Lusltania?" Shouted in Chorus. Toronto. William Jennings Bry m was refused a hearing when ho ap peared at Masaey hall here to address prohibition meeting under the aus pices of the dominion alliance. Returned soldle-s caused the dis turbance by shouting various epithets. What about the Lusltania?" they also demanded in chorus. The first disturbance came before Mr. Bryan's entry, when the chairman told the audience they were to be honored by listening to the fraternal delegate of the Anti-Saloon league of America, "one of the foremost citizens of our ally." When Mr. Bryan came In, pandemonium broke loose. Most of the audience stood, waved hand kerchiefs and cheered him, but the answering hoots from the gallery out lasted the cheers. For five minutes Mr. Bryan tried vainiy to make himself heard. The Interruption kept right on and the in terrupters sang "Rule Britannia" and Qod Save the King." Bntnusiastlc prohibitionists who wished to hear Mr. Bryan, hurled across the hall counter-calls of "put mem out,- and ' Wheres your fair play?" The chairman was heard to say something about ejecting the In tempters. He was greeted with cries or "Wno s going to do It?" Hi. Bryan took hi seat. John H. Roberta, of Montreal, made an attempt to apeak, but waa told to "get the khaki on." Then a man of the army medical corps dressed la uniform waa hoisted on the platform. "Boy, they are lighting for free dom at the front; they are also fight ing for freedom of thought. Why should we Interrupt the meetlna?" he appealed to the gallery. The appeal was In vain. "God Save the King" was sung again and th soldier in the gallery shouted "Take Bryan out, and we'll walk out. We'll let any man speak, but not a nrn.
