GERMANS RUSH TROOPS INTO FLANDERS: ALLIES DRIVEN BACK TO CANAL War's Bloodiest Battle Has Be gun, is Concensus of Mili tary Experts BOTH SIDES ARp READY Thoroughly Entrenched and Well Supplied With Am munition, is Report. German Submarines Busy i the North Sea. London. "'April 24. The Germans are poiirintf troops into" Flanders to. press the attack, which at the beginning- has forced the Allies back to the Yser canal, north of Ypres. This move ment, according to reports reaching Holland, has assumed even greater di mensions than those which preceded the battle that raged for more than two weeks, in the same region last Oc tober. On that occasion the operations ciuied in the discomfiture of the Ger mans who had declared their intention if pushing their way through to Ca lais. ' Tt appears that the Germans have a similar Aim today and have set out to apu;re Ypres, described as the key to the French coast ports. While the attack originally met with considerable success, due, according to Allies' reports, to the use by the Germans of asphyxiating gases, it is said, already to have been checked. T!,e Canadians, who held the extreme left of the British line and were forc ed to retire when the remainder of the front was Dressed back, made a bril liant counter attack, regaining most, if not all the ground which they had conceded and re-taking - four , guns which they had left in the hands of the Germans. In the words of Sir John French they saved the situation. Ground is Recovered. The British report does not say how much ground they recovered, but the statement in the Berlin official report that a British attack at St. Julien was repulsed shows they are well back in their old positions, for that tovn, which is on the main road between Tpres and Poel-Capelle is immediately south of Langeraarck whence the Ger man attack was launched. The Ger mans, however, maintain their hold on the Yser canal further north, for they speak of storming Luzerne, which is across the canal between the towns of .Steenstraate and Het Sast, which they took in their first rush. The German attack south of Ypres, which was made simultaneously with that to the north, apparently has failed entirely. These attacks are believed to be the hesrirtning of another big battle, which, with both sides strongly entrenched, promises to be one of the bloodiest and most bitter of the war. Telegrams from Holland tonight tell rot only of the movement of the Jer "'au reinforcements to theftV-lrat of long trains of dead andiwounded passing to the rear a condition which ;i'so must exist in the rear of the Allied srmy. The outcome, of this battle is waited with utmost eagerness." l isrhtinc Elsewhere. . In the meantime fighting goes on in rhar:ipa?ne and the Woevre as well as in the Carpathians. Despite torren rams, the Russians appear to have resumed their attack on the Austro 'ierrnan positions guarding Uzsok Pass. ' apture by the Russians of Hill 1,001, it is claimed, will greatly facilitate their operations reducing in impor tance Hin 992, which the Austrians still hold. Confirmation of this new Russian offensive is contained in the Austrian o-frioial report which records .P-shtin? on Turka road, which travers es Uzsok Pass. ' There is no official news as yet of operations in the Dardanelles or the North .Sea. but in the latter region 'here is (.r-irio it, r : , ,Pm)F!is who have sunk or captured severai neutral vessels.

"On Saturday at daybreak on the left bank of the Yser they had suc ceeded in carrying the village of Li zerne. .The French Zouaves and Belgian Carbineers, however, through a vigor ous attack re-captured the village which we soon left behind us. "In conjunction with the Belgian army we made perceptible progress on our left. On our right we advanced more slowly. "During that time the British troops were subjected to a fierce attack.

J ' Mines Are Exploded.. ijA "In Champagne on the Northern sal ient of the Bousejour blockhouse the Germans exploded five powerful mines near our trenches. Despite the violence of the explosion, our troops, outstrip ping the enemy at once' occupied the excavations which were about 75 feet in diameter. "Very fierce encounters have taken place in the Ailly wood where the Ger mans are making desperate efforts to recapture the 700 metres of trenches, (about half a mile which we took from them on April 22. Thus we .were forced to evacuate this morning a sec tion of these trenches, but we re-tpok it during the course of the day and now hold it.

"The fight for the ground into which the Germans penetrated k between Steenstraate and Langemarck still con tinues. The loss of this part of the line laid bare the left of the Canadian division which was forced to fall back to keep in touch with the right of the neighboring troops. "In the rear of them had been fou Canadian 4.7 inch guns, which thus passed into the hands of the enemy. "But some hours later the Canadians made a most brilliant and successful advance, re-capturing these guns and taking a considerable number of Ger man prisoners, including a colonel.

New York, April 24. John D. Rocke feller, Jr., gave out a statement late today in reference to the correspond ence vbetween himself and L. M. Bow ers, chairman of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, made public yesterday by Franch P. Welsh chairman of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations. Mr. Rockefeller characterized as false the conclusions which Mr. Walsh drew from the correspondence. He - asserts Mr. Walsh had drawn inferences with out ascertaining whether they were correct, a "proceeding which is wholly indefensible." He said he would be glad to appear to give additional testimony before the commission at any time "for we are desirous that the public shall have all the facts." The statements follows: "On February 18 soon after the hear ings in New York of the United States Commission on -Industrial Relations I felt called upon in justice to myself to point out to the public a gross mis statement concerning my evidence vJhlch had been given out by Mr. Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the com mission. Unwarranted Inferences. "Mr. Walsh today makes another statement containing many misrepre-1 sentations and unwarranted inferences. The public is entitled to the facts con cerning the allegations which Mr. Walsh makes bxit it is impossible to assemble all the data in time for the Sunday morning papers. I am pre paring a statement which -will be available for publication on Monday morning. "In references to Mr. Walsh's an nouncement of his intention to call my associates, and myself to give fur ther information in regard to the. Col-, orado strike, I need hardly say that we shall be gjad to appear at any time, for we are desirous that the pub lic shall have all the facts. To that end we have already testified with great fullness, have waived all our legal rights and have supplies the com mission without any subpoena duces tecum all the information which has been asked for, including a mass of private correspondence. "Mr. Walsh has taken that corre spondence, has drawn from it certain inferences and without ascertaining whether his inferences are. correct, has made statements and announced con clusions which are false. Such- pro ceeding, I submit is wholly indefen sible on the part of the chairman of a body holding a commission from the government of the United States. AMHONS KNOWS NOTHING Denver, Colo., April 24. Former Governor E.' M. Ammons. when shown the correspondence between John. D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Ivy L. Lee as made public yesterday by Frank P, Walsh, chairman of the Federal Industrials Re lations Commission said: "I never sent out a letter on any phase of the Colorado coal Miners' strike that I did not prepare myself. I never heard of Ivy L. Lee until his name was brought out at the Denver Investigation of the Industrial Rela tions Commission and never had any correspondence with him. I furnished copies of all my correspondence of the strike to the Industrials Relations Com mission during the Denver hearing. "The only time I ever met a repre sentative of Mr. Rockefeller was a few days ago when W. L. MacKenzie King discussed with me labor conditions in Colorado. Elf EN'S CREW STILL ALIVE Ml KICKING Most Dramatic Episode of War Not Yet Concluded. Escaping When German Cruised De stroyed, Landing- Party from Bat tleship Commandeered a Schooner Fighting. Berlin, via Wireless and London, April 24. The crews of the German "warship" Aysha, composed, of men who escaped when the cruiser Emden was destroyed by an Australian war ship in the Indian ocean last Novem ber, has escaped again from Allied pa trol ships. They arrived at the Ara bian harbor of Lidd March 27th. They covered by sea the S00 miles from Ho deida to Lidd. After reaching the coast the sailors attempted to continue their journey overland but .were attacked by Arabs. After three days stubborn fighting the attacks were repulsed and they reach ed the road to Dodachas where the railway wa open. The adventurous Germans suffered heavy losses. The bold exploits of this remnant of the Emden's crew have constituted one of the most dramatic episodes of the war. The men were members of a landing party which was on Cocos Is t (Continued on Page 16.) GONG L IONS K. O, 8TJXDAY MORKTN"Q, APRIL 25, 1915 L ANGELES AND VILLA BREAK Latter Blamed Defeat to Cow ardice of Ex-Federals. SAYS CARRANZA REPORT Brother of General Obregon Arrested and Ordered Shot by Villa Obre gon Says Brother an Old Man and Peaceable. - Washington, April 24. A serious rupture between General Villa and his chief lieutenant, General Angeles, was reported to the Carranza agency here today in a message from Eagle Pass, Texas. General Villa, the message a.dded, had ordered his personal follow ers to Torreon, where he was concen trating garrisons from towns along the border. General Angeles remained at Aguas Calientes, it was said, to meet the advance of General Obregon from Irapuato. State Department officials said they had no knowledge of a break between Villa and Angeles. The text of the Eagle Pass message as given out at the Carranza agency to night is: "The serious breach between Villa and the ex-Federals serving under him, caused by Villa laying all blame for his recent defeats upon the cowardice of the ex-Federals and this charge em bracing General Angeles, has caused Villa to order all his followers to con centrate at Torreon. , Ubana has evac uated San Luis Potosi and proceeded to Zacatecas where he is covering the re treat of Villa. All the garrisons along the border have been ordered to evacu ate and concentrate at Torreon without delay. This leaves Generals Angeles, Raoul and Emilio Madero to face the brunt of Obregon's advance toward the North." OBREGON'S BROTHER SHOT. Aged Man Arrested and Ordered Exe cuted by Villa, is Report. New York, April 24. Francesco E. Elias, Carranza consul herannounc ed today lie had" received a' telegram from General Qbregon, asserting tbat General Obregon's brother, Francesco, taken prisoner by Villa and sent to Chihuahua, had been shot . by Villa's order. General Obregon's telegram said: "Villa, to avenge himself upon me for the defeat which my troops have inflicted upon him, has arrested and sent my brother, Francesco Obregon, a man 70 years of ag a prisoner to Chi huahua. He was living peacefully in Guadalajara and was a non-combatant. He took issue with neither faction. When Villa fled from the city he order ed that he be arrested. This is noth ing more than revenge which he is seeking from me for the defeat which he suffered." Another dispatch from General Obre gon, Mr. Elias asserted, said General Obregon had sent a telegram to Villa pointing out that his brother was a feeble old man and a non-combatant and requesting his release. The only reply received to this message, Mr. Elias said the despatch stated, was a message from Villa which read: "Your brother has been shot."

The fact that American cotton shipments .totalling thousands of bales and. all destined to neutral ports are held up by the Al lies is giving exporters great concern and it was learned tonight that the State Department has been requested to make special efforts in case of five steamers now detained in European ports.

Senator Smith, of Georgia, who has discussed the matter at the State De partment, said tonight that nearly a dozen cotton ships were being held. Troubles with cargoes.
