It has come to the notice of the de partment of the southeast, United Statese army, that many people fail to report suspicious and disloyal acts or man!.festations of sympathy for the enemy, because of uncertainty as to the proper official to approach. Such information should be addressed to the "Intelligence Officer, Headquar ters Southeastern - Department, Char leston, S. C."

Reports from British commanders 'hich have just been received at the American army headnuarters give the first definite information that Ameri can engineering troops in large num bers were among the forces hastily assembled from all branches of the smice by Maj.

The American engineers were work constructing and operating 'frld railways and building bridges.

Simultaneously the manufacturing program of this in dustry was ordered re-arranged and divided placing it on the basis' of war industry. American troops operating on the Lorraine sector in France have taken oor control of No Man's Land. Pa trolling parties are making almost liightiy Visits up to the German wire er.tanglo.nents without encountering any resistance. Approval of efforts by commercial organizations to obtain from the rail road administration an executive order requiring all cotton offered for ship ment to be compressed to a density of 33 pounds per cubic foot, has been given by the war department, the de partment of commerce and the ship ping board, as a measure to promote efficiency in transportation. Immediate enactment of legislation to permit the military authorities to deal directly with spies and German propagandists was urged before the senate military committee as the only way to curb lynch law against dis loyalty and enemy agitation. Repre sentatives of the army and navy in telligence departments and other wit nesses told the committee that the sit uation is serious and cannot be han dled under existing laws. Three officers and thirty-three en listed men captured by the U. S. S. Fanning from the German submarine U-58, now being held as prisoners of war, have been ordered sent to Fort McPherson, Ga. The news from the battle front is distinctly cheering. The British line is holding firmly, French reinforce ments having arrived, which makes it practically certain that the German drive toward the channel ports has been defeated. While flour mills and middlemen have made millions in swollen profits sin?u '.ie war opened, government su pervision is gradualy getting the up per hand and prices are on the down V.ra-'e, the federal trade commission says in a special report to President Wilson. Appointment of Frederick P. Kepple, dean of Columbia university, to be as sistant secretary of war, has been con firmed by the senate. There is no doubt now that the fighting men of France, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium, Portugal and Russia on the western front are being massed for a counter offensive, and all look for "big doings" soon. The La Bassee canal front is still in British hands, and bridges flung across it by the Teutons have been swept away by the allied artillery fire. European. The British empire at the beginning of April had seven and a half million men in the service. Of this numDer 4,530,000, or 60.4 per cent, are from England. India, Africa and other dependencies of Great Britain have contributed one million men to the army of Great Brit ain, while Ireland has only given one hundred and seventy thousand men. Official announcement is made that the Earl of Derby has been appoinled English ambassador and plenipoten tiary on a special mission to France, in succession to Lord Bertie. Viscount Milner becomes secretary for war, and J. Austen Chamberlain a member of the war cabinet. British merchantmen arrivals during the past week are stated to have been 2,211: sailing 2.456. It Is announced that Sir David Hen derson, vice president of the air coun cil, has resigned, following the resig nation of Major General Trenchard, chief of the air staff, on the ground that he would be unable to work w-th the new air staff chief, Gen.

The number of the prisoners and the extent of the booty has not been ascertained. East cf Lake Van Turkish troops are reported to have occupied the town of Seli. Germany's mighty effort on the bat tle field of Flanders has won new suc cesses. According to the latest re ports the important strategic towns of Bailleul, Wulverghem and Wytschaete are in. German hands, and, more im portant still, the Teutons-have carried a large part of the Messines ridge by s'orm. The losses to British shipping by mine or submarine in the past week totaled 15.

HARD BLOWS MADE T AMERICANS GERMAN HIGH COMMAND ESSAYS STROKE AGAINST AMERICANS IN TOUL SECTOR. HOLD'NG LINE EVERYWHERE Berlin Official Statements Claim Cap ture of 183 Americans and 20 Ma chine Guns But Report is Uncon firmed. ' The German high command, having been unsuccessful in piercing the Brit ish front in Flanders and separating the British and French armies, has essayed a stroke against the Ameri cans and the French northwest of Toul and here also Teuton strategy seemingly has failed utterly to bring its plans to fruition. Although the Germans attacked in waves with greatly superior number of men, the Americans and French men have held all their positions and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. What gains were made in the initial onslaughts have been entirely retriev ed and the American and French lines restored. The latest Berlin official communi cation asserts that in the drive 1S3 American prisoners and 25 machine guns were captured by the Germans, who cut their way for about a mile and a quarter into the American lines at Seicheprey. There has been no confirmation of this statement, or of the added claim that the Americans sustained heavy casualties. It seems evident, however, that the fight was a bitter one and that it was the ambition of he specially trained Germans to crush the Americans. Ev erything the enemy had in stock was brought into play in the fighting. Shells of all calibers, including gas missiles, were used prodigiously, but the Americans, notwithstanding this cannonading and the greatly superior infantry forces arrayed against them fought tenaciously and gave ground by inches, and then only when they had exacted a tremendous payment for it in German killed or wounded. Although the enemy was able to reach the shell-torn village of Seiche prey, the Americans rallied and In bloody hand to hand fighting reversed the situation and regained the town. Likewise, all the terrain which the French in this region were forced to give up temporarily now has been retaken. The German official commu nication, in what seemingly is a half hearted admission that the attack was repulsed and that the Germans lost what they had gained, says the Ger mans "after the destruction of enemy works, reurned to their lines of de parture." Americans Drive Enemy Back. After the heavy German attack the American main positions remained in tact, and after a brief bombardment the American troops attacked and drove the enemy out of the old out posts which ahey had gained, thus breaking down an offensive which It is believed was intended as the begin ning of a German plan to separate the Americans and French. 'QUAKE IN SOUTHERN PORT OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles, Cal. All of southern California and part of western Ari zona and Utah were shaken by an earthquake which wrecked virtually all buildings and residences in Hemet and San Jacinto, two inland towns, 45 miles southeast of Riversid Cal, caused minor property damage in practically every town and city. One man, Frank E. Darnell, of this city, was trampled to death in a panic at Santa Monica. A woman was In jured by falling from a second-story window at San Jacinto and a number of persons were injured there and elsewhere, none seriously. Three men entombed in a magnesite mine tunnel near Hemet probably were savaed by fallow workers who drove an air shaft to them and were expected to dig them out before morning. STILL SLAV''G INNOCENT WITH LONG RANGE GUN -Paris. The lonir-range bombard ment of Paris shows that shells have fallen on 17 days since March 23, and that, with the figures for two days missing, 118 persons were killed and 230 injured. Paris was shelled by nin German batteries from January 5 to January 27. 1871, during which period 105 Par isians were killed and 369 injured. AMERICAN GETS 66 JAPANESE STEAMERS Tokio.

Deliveries of the vessels will begin in April of this year, and will con tinue until June, 1919. GAINS FELT B THE ALLIES OFFICIALS SEE ROSPECT8 OF A VICTORIOUS.COUNTER OFFEN SIVE' SQON. ff" NEWS DISTINCTLY CHEERING Italian Troops Pqurfryj Into France to Share in the Crucial Struggle. British HoW Firm. - Washington. Events on the west ern batle front are shaping themselves officers here believe, not only for de feat of the German drive, but for a counter-offensive by General Foch's armies that may open the road to an allied military victory. A wave of optimism swept over not only American officials, but also the military men of the allied missions in Washington. . Some of them think it will be some days yet before Genearl Foch can comlete his troop disposi tions for a great thrust at the enemy, but others look for word that he has struck at' any time. The news from the battle front was distinctly cheering. The British lines in the hard stricken Flanders front were holding firmly. French rein forcements had arrived there, making practically certain that the German drive toward the channel ports from, that direction has been defeated. Italian Troops to France. At the same time, official announce ment came from Rome that Italian troops were already pouring into France to share in the crucial strug gle there. This added to the opti mism, for it means that the fighting nen of France, Italy, Great Britain, America, Belgium, Portugal and the Russian units are being massed under he one leader for a mighty blow when Jie time comes. There were many indications of in creased pressure toward getting American troops overseas in time to share fully in the battles this summer upon which may rest the final issue. Secretary Baker conferred for sev eral hours with President Wilson, the regular cabinet meeting being r can celled to clear the way for the con ference, which had to do with both Immediate and future steps for accel erating American participation in the struggle. It was the first opportunity Mr. Baker has had to present fully to the commander-in-chief his report on his trip along the fighting lines and give the president at first hand an account if the mighty work General Pershing nd his officers have done in France and are doing. COTON PRICE-FIXING TALK RAISES A STORM Some Southern Cotton Holders Hint at Dampening of Loyalty of the Washington. The talk of fixing tho price of cotton and cotton products has arosued cotton holders throughout the south to such a pitch that some of them hint that the loyalty of some cotton people might be dampened if any such action is taken. Some dealers "'aim that the manufacturers would fix the price on raw cotton at a lower price than the market price so that the prices of manufactured goods can be lowered without cutitng their profits. The North Carolina delegation is beginning to receive protests from the cotton men of varriotis callings. J. Al lan Taylor, of Wilmington, has asked Senator Simmons to take un the mat ter with the proper authorities. He said "theagitatlon for limiting the price of raw material as a necessary means for reducing prices of cotton goods is absolutely unwarranted." Senator Simmons took the matter up with Vance McCromick, chairman of the war trade board. There is no immediate danger of any fixing of the prices on raw cotton. The government may fix the price on the finished products. SOCIALISM POISONOUS "GERMAN PROPAGANDA" Cleveland, Ohio. Socialism in America was branded as poisonous German propaganda by Samuel Gomo ers. pres'dent of the American Feder ation of Labor, in a speech in behalf of the Liber v loan campaign at the City club. "Tbre is no such thing as an American socialist partv." Mr. Gomners told an audience of 1.500 at. he City club. "Th American social ist organization is roerelv a branch of he one in Germany it is part of German propaganda." CROWDER INVESTIGATING EFFECT OF AMENDMENT Washington. At the request of Pro vost Marshal General Crowder the senate military committee postponed action on the house amendment to the senate bill changing draf quotas from state populations to the number of men in class 1, under which states would be given credit for men furnish ed by enlistment and draft.

"A Proclamation: "An enemy who has grossly abused the power or an organized govern men and who seeks to dominate the world by the might of the sword chal lenges the rights of America and the liberty and life of all the free na tions of th earth.

The leaders of the nation alists in Ireland, including the Red mondltes, who are now led by John DJIlon. the Sinn Feiners, O'Brienites, laborites, and clericals are united in their determination to resist con scription "by the most effective means at our disposal," which is the wording of a resolution passed at a meeting of biohops at Maynooth. NOMINATION OF FOCH APPROVED BY WILSON Paris. The following official note was issued: "The American military representa tive in the supreme war council has officially informed the government that he has received the following cablegrams under date of April 16: ' In the name of the republic of the United States of America., the President approves the notnlnaMon of General Foch as commander-in-chief of the allied armies in France'." GERMANY IS ACTIVE IN SUPPRESSING PROPAGANDA The activities of the German ? mili tary authorities in suppressing .prop aganda at home are shown in the fol-. lowing, quotation from a German bul letin, which has been received at American headouaters: - ; "Baron von G-"l. commanding the seventh army corps in Muenster, of fers 3.000. marks to the person who first succeeds in Implicating an Eng.", lish or American agent guilty of 'in citing disturbances or revolutions. LINE IS HOLDING FIRM RECAPTURE METER EN AND PART OF WYSCHAETE IN POWER ' FUL COUNTER ATTACKS. BATTLE IS MORE INTENSE lively Artillery Engagements Develop Between the, tomme and Oise Rivers. . Outvof the choas of the tremenduas battle along the Lys river, south and southwest of Ypres, the thunder of which may be heard 40 or 50 miles away, there have come during the past day reports which , are more encour aging to the 'allied powers. The British, not only have held all the ground which they yere defending but have struck back so powerfully that Meteren and part of Wytschaete were retaken and held for .a time. Only after heavy attacks did the British retire again from the villages. The most disturbing news has been a report from Berlin that Poecapelle and Langmarck, north of Ypres, have been taken by the Germans and the admission from London that the British have retired from certain of their lines in the Ypres salient. The retirement here was expected, for the advance of the Germans at Neuve Eglise and Bailleul left the positions in front -of Ypres open toa flank at tack. It is officially stated that the retirement was orderly and it is prob able that it will have more of a senti mental than a strategic effect. Just how far the British lines have been withdrawn is not known. It may be, however, that the German claim of taking Poelcapelle and Langemarck was the result of the British retire ment. The battle now in its ninth day, has deepened in Intensity at many points along the curved front from Messines ridge to Meteren. There have been reports that the Germans have occupied the vllalge of St. Eloi, which lies less than three miles south of- Ypres, but these have not been confirmed-. "It "also was said that they have - taken positions on the south slope ' of ' Mount Kemmel, which is about two and a half miles north of Wulverghem. . . ; . , This, also, has not been cpnfiremd. On all the rest of the front from Messines ridge southwestward the Germans have flung themselves against the granite wall of the British defense. Official and semi-official dispatches have told of the frightful losses inflicted - on the attacking masses of troops by the British rifle and machine gun fire. THE O. B. JENNINGS AND WAR KNIGHT COLLIDE An Atlantic Port. Thirty-seven lives were, lost when the American steamship O. B. Jennings and the British steamer War Knight, both la den with naphtha and ' inflammable oils, collided, off the British coast on March 24, according to members of the crew of the O- B. Jennings, who arrived her.e All who perished with one exception were on the British vessel. They were burned to death by blazing gas and oil. Those who survived the flames on the War Knight were rescued in the nick of time by - destroyers, for soon after, while the blazing hull was be ing towed toward shallow water, it struck a mine and as blon up. The destroyers went to the rescue through a fiel dof blazing oil and took off also the crew of the Jennings. A number of the crew of the American ship, however, were badly burned and had to be removed to hospitals after being landed. An officer of the O. B. Jennings, who told the story of the disaster. : suported in his statements by mem- bers of the 'crew, said the collision occurred shortly after 2 a. m-, when they were within 15 miles of their destination. He ; .dded that it was caused by the necessity of running ' without lights owin gto the subma rine danger. - U. S. ARMY OFFICER IS . TARRED AND FEATHERED Sante Fe, N. M. Four hundred con victs in the state penitentiary tarred and feathered and led around with a rope about his neck. Major 'John M. Birkner of Camp. Cody. N.

Germany, has been in the American military forces for more than' 30 years: . ' TARDIEU REAPPOINTED AS HIGH COMMISSIONER Washington: Reappointment of An dre Tardieu as hjgh commissioner of France to the 'Tjnlted States was an nounced, in , an 'official cablegram. . ' 'Mr. Tardieu received the following message from Paris: " "The high- mission which you have so successfully performed in the Unit-, ed .States and which expired on the, 15th -""of this 'month, baa been renewed By a decree of.;the president of the republic J. S. GARR WILL AID SHIPBUILDING W RESIGNS .HIS POSITION : AS AS SISTANT TO . HOOVER Td TAKE UP NE'W'VVORK. WILL MAKE TOUR OF. SOOTH Is to Stimulate Work on Ships in -..Southern Yards-Approved By Hurley. , : - ... f 1 . - Special, from Wa&bJngton.Teneral . Julian S. Carr, of North Carolina, re signed as an assistant to Food Com missioner Hoover for food conserva tion in the South and will take up im mediately the duties of chairman of a committee appointed by the Southern Commercial Congress to stimulate work in Southern ship yards. . Gen eral Carr and Dr. Clarence J. Owens,, secretary of the coagress, will leave soon to hold public cseetings in every Southern port where ships are beinjr built, to arouse citizens, yard owners and workers to the urgency of the need for ships. Later, the committee will undertake the recruiting of labor and the' expe diting of timber cutting if shortage threatens to delay the work in any . yard. General Carr and Dr. Owens called at the shipping board preliminary to undertaking the work, which has the enthusiastic approval of Chairman Hurley. Their trip through the South is the result of a previous conference' between Mr. Hurley and a committee appointed at the Baltimore meeting of the congress. Chairman Hurley wrote the congress the following letter des ignating it as an agency to speed up ship construction: "Realizing that we must have ships and without ships troops and food can not be transported, a great country wide drive is being inaugurated to bring home to the people outside of the shipyards the necessity of getting behind the workers in the yard of giving him every possible support. "There Is no question but that in the main our shipbuilders ' and their employes are striving to do their ut most. I am only fearful that ;the com munities in which the ship yards' are located do not appreciate the work these men are pwrfoing in connec tion with our military program. . "Therefore no opportunity should' be lost by the citizens of. shipbuild ing centers to make the shfpworker feel that they are with him. Great occasions, must be made of launchings. School children must be told of the part of the war which is -being enact ed before their very eyes and how the ships will save the nation. Just as a community is proud that it has furnished its quota of soldiers, so must it show its pride In the building of ships and cheer the workmen along in the effort to build them faster and better than anywhere else. "We need assistance now as never before. Recognizing the possibilities of creating greater community inter ests, it gives me the greatest pleasure to designate the Southern Commercial Congress as an agency for accomplish-, ing this result, as applied especially to the wood and "teel yards in the Southern States, fhis offers an occa sion for immediate service which I am sure that the people of the South will not overlook." Another Flour Mill Closed. Raleigh. Albemarle Milling Com pany, a flour mil located In Albemarle, Stanly county.has been closed by the Food Administration because of vio lations of the Food Administration's rules and regulations governing mills. The Albemarle mill was using more than 264 pounds of wheat in the man ufacture of 196 pounds of flour and . was also disregarding the Food Ad- , ministration's schedule of mill feed prices. The Food Administration is rleht behind the flour milling industry and every mill which is found to be violating the Food Administration's rules and regulations hereafter mav look for nothing exceot drastic ac tion. A number of other mills are under investigation Negroes, Buy Bonds. Monroe. "Every negro in the Sea board shops at Richmond. Raleigh, and Monroe have purchased Liberty bonds," was a sentence uttered here by B. L. Hammer, general develop ment agent of the Seaboard; speaking in the courthouse to a good sized au- . dience. He came to Monroe for the purpose of selling Liberty bonds to Seaboard employes and was prevailed upon to make an address. He sold $5,500 worth of bonds tothe Seaboard men in Monroe.
