MS ATTMK German Assault Followed a Most Severe Bombardment of Seventy-Two Hours' GERMAN PLAN IS TO WIPE OUT BRITISH Terrific Fighting Along the British Front-; Submarine Losses For the Past Week Greatly Reduced. American gunners and infantrymen holding a certain sector of the front in France drove back in disorder on W ednesday a strong German ' attack. The enemy effort was the heaviest yet. made against an American posi tion but the Germans did jnot get through the wire entanglements and suffered numerous casualties. After a violent artillery , bombard ment for 72 hours, .during which many gas shells wre used, especial ly selected German units moved against the American position under a heavy barrage fire. The American artillery checked them at the wire entanglements and machine and, rifle fire also was poured into -the enemy who retired leaving several of their number hanging to the wire entangle ments. ' On the Northern battle front Amer ican soldiers, the vanguard 01 a large force have joined the British armies. The first force was only a battalion in strength but other Amer icF contingents are moving forward rap.dly. General Pershing's men were greeted enthusiastically by the Brit ish. Desperate fighting continues unin terruptedly on a 25 mile front be tween Givenchy and Wytschaete, with the Germans suffering severe losses for small g-ains against the strOhjr British, defense, JnJw engagements, uie enemy nas not yet i enined any point of strategical im- portance and the British still domi- j 'nate the batt!e2eld from the heights ; of Mps?in3s ridse on the north and G reeny, on the south. Belov,- Armentieres where the at tach was launched Tuesday, the Ger mans have made little additional progress although they Kave crossed the left bank of the Lys between Es taires and Bac St. Maur. Repeated attacks against the British line be tween Estaires and Givenchy toward Eethune have been checked san guinarily. Berlin claims the capture of 6,000 men and 100 guns on this sector Tuesday. - , North of Armentieres the Germans, after driving the British from their first defenses in the lowlands, have been unable to gain the crest of Messines ridge, despite many furious assaults. Armentieres . at the apex of a Fhar,-) salient as the result of the two Hays fighting hs been evacuated by the British withdrawal to the wes't of .he Lys. Emperor William and the German military leaders in the present offen f've. it is reported in dispatches from 'he battlefront, plan the wiping out f the British army. It is believed that the Germans now are seriously attempting .by swinging their attacks the north to annihilate British re sistance. In consequence further as sults alcg'the British front and much desperate fighting is expected. Iniantry fighting, on the Picardy battle front has quieted down mo mentarily. The French and German artillery fire has been violent north of Montdidier and . along the Oise panal, northwest of Soissons. There have been artillery exchanges on the British front which has not yet been linked up with the Northern battle field. There has been no infantry ac Mvity on the Loos-Lens-Vimy sector, (he connecting link, although the German artillery fire" is increasing. Another drop in the sinking of Al 'pd merchantmen by German subma rines is noted in current: reports. The British losses of six ships, in cluding four of more than 1,600 tons, is the next lowest weekly total since February 1917. The lowest week was was that of November 11, when one large and five small vessels went tiown. Last- week's total was 13 in r!uding six of the large tonnage. One J'alian and two French merchantmen are reported also, lost. It is believed in Washington that the falling off in submarine effective ness is due to the fact that the Ger mans are turning their attention from merchantmenta transports. Depart yes of American ' troops for Europe, it is said, now are .three times greater than some time ago and it is prob ahle the Germans may be preparing r a huge suwnarine offensive against the troops ships.

American troops on a certain sector today re pulsed the heaviest German aack yet made on an American force. Bril liant work by American gunners dis persed the German infantry before they reached the wire entanglements and those of the enemy who got into the wire were accdunted for with ma chine" gun and rifle fire. The German attack came after a violent artillery bombardment of three days. A large number of the enemy are believed to have been kill ed or wounded during , the attack which continued for nearly two hours. For 72 hours before their effort, the Germans had been firing an increas ing number of shells at the American positions and making extensive, use of gas shells. At noon yesterday the enemv began aharrassing fire against up tnrougnout me mgm aroppmg hundreds of shells of all calibres on both front and rear positions. The American artillery replied vigorously the men in some batteries working with their gas masks on for two or three hours at a stretch. About b o'clock this morning Ger man infantrymen in the front line signalled their batteries for. a barrage and started for the American front line. The American gunners laid a counter barrage almost immedif teiv. The attackers, who were specially trained for this operation, were se lected from among the best men in three regiments. They were preceded by shock platoons, but the American barrage caught them before they were able to reach our wire entanglements. A terrific fire against the advanc ing enemy was kept up by the Amert can batteries. The Germans proba bly suffered severe casualties as sev eral bodies were seen hanging across the barbed wire after the enemy re tird. The attack was made in a heavy morning mist but the American gunners did wonderful work consid ering the poor visibility. As soon as the American abrrage lifted American infantrymen climbed from their shelter and attacked the enemy with heavy machine guns and rifle fire, driving back those who had not been dispersed by the artillery fire. The attack was followed by a vio lent artillery duel which was still going on at a late- hour tonight. Another Attack Smashed. With the American Army in France, Wednesday, April 10. The Germans attempted an attack against the Am erican positions northwest of Toul, ju?t be;"ore sunrise this merging, nnd were completely repulsed I wo Ger man r-ri'5cners said the enemy plan nel the attack with a f-.-rce of S'.-O men, but that it was stopped in its full strength by the effective fire of the American artillery.

The Senate's opposi tion was directed 'solely to the clause providing that the bill should not re strict workmen from striking.

Irishmen maintain the right to say whether they shall be conscriped or not, Captain William A. Redmond, son of the late John E. Redmond, de clared today in his first speeech in the House of Commons since he was elected to the constituency formerly held by his-father. His speech was during discussion of the government man-opwer bill. The captain was in military uniform and occupied his father's old seat in the House. In 1914, he said, Ireland was al most ablaze with enthusiasm on the side of the Allies, but the sentiment of , the Irish people had since chang ed toward the war, owing to distrust of the British government in the word of British ministers. By the government's present action the Ireland of -tomorrow, he added, would be in open hostility to the war. It would require armies in Ireland to recruit batflaions while if the gov ernment trusted Ireland, that trust would hot be betrayed. Captain Red mond warned the House that if the government pursued its present pol icy there would soon be no Irish par ty in the House of .Commons, but there would be amuch harder nut to crack Ireland.

Raleigh, N. C, April 11. The 'Democratic State convention here yesterday afternoon refused to adopt a plank in its platform favoring wo man suffrage, the convention being overwhelmingly against the demands of the women in this respect. The suffrage question developed the only contest of any sort, the balance of the proceedings running along with out the least friction. The sentiment of the convention as expressed by those arguing against the suffrage plank, was that there was too much division among the people on 'this question for it to be injected into the campaign during these times of war As the' primary system chooses the party's candidates, there was no action along this line by the con vention, though there was quite a deal of log-rolling done by the friends of various aspirants. The platform which was adopted as reported by the committee declares that in this time of great trial the f Democratic party takes pleasure in greeting its historical opponent, the Republican party, with assurance of condence in the loyalty of its mem bership to our common country and appeals for all parties to subordinate questions s of internal policy about which voters are likely to be much divided, so far as the interests of the State will permit, that the winning of the war be the supreme interest. The prineles of the Democratic ) tion made that it is an obvious fact that the entering of the world war was the only honorable course left to the country and that every thing dear to the people is involved. The conduct of the war by the Fed eral authorities is endorsed and spe cial commendation given to Secre tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels as having won the plaudits of all erst while critics. There is endorsement of the Senators and Representatives in Congress and especially for Sena tor Simmons, whose campaign for re election is to head the Democratic ticket in this campaign. Governor Bickett's administration and that of the State officers are en dorsed and the aid that the Dem ocracy has given to agriculture in the State and the national adminis tration of the party recited. There is endorsement of the proposed Bick ett amendment to the constitution to exempt mortgages and notes given in purchase of homes from taxation where the purchase price is not over $3,000 and the loans run from five to 20 years at 5 1-2 per cent. Increased support is pledged to the public schools and legislation called for that will assure increased salaries for teachers.. All the people are call ed upon to rally to the support of the worthy ideal summarized in the plat form. ' When Chairman Morrison, of the Platform Committee, read the report, A. L. Brooks, of Greensboro, spoke in advocacy of a woman suffrage plank, and was suported by S. C. Brawley and R. O. Everett, of Dur ham. S. M. Gattis, of Hillsboro, and Benehan Cameron, of Stagsville, spoke against the proposition. Hen ry Grady, of Sampson, offered a res olution to permit the women to ex press themselves on the question at the coming election. This aroused Cameron Morrison, of Mecklenbarg, who eloquently pleaded that the whole matter be left alone, and this was done by an overwhelming ma jority. Victor Bryant, of Durham, was per manent chairman of the convention, and his keynote speech was a sp'en did piece of eloquence. He review ed with pride the development North aCrolina under Demcoratic rule; praised the conduct of nation al affairs under a Democratic admin istration, and made a7 rousing patri otic address.

Agreement to This Effect Has Been Reached With Portugal FOR THE PROTECTION OF TRADE ROUTES fn Addition to Being Used As a Naval Base It Will Also Be a Homing Station for Airplanes Washington, April 11. For the pro tection of the Atlantic, trade route3 to Southern Europe, the United States with the consent of Portugal, has established a naval base on . the Azores Islands. Guns have been landed to begin fortification of the station which in addition to being used as a naval base for American submarines, destroy ers, and other small craft, also will serve as an important homing station for American airplanes, a number of which already have been assembled there. . Negotiations now are in progress betwen the ' State Department and the Portugese government to insure full co-operation between American naval forces and the local authorities of Portugal on the Islands for the adequate defense of the station. This action will simplify the task of pro tecting the great trade routes not only to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, but also returning traffic to South America and South ern Gulf ports in the United States. Portugal was not only willing to enter the arrangements, but was eager to see it perfected that her own lines of communication 'to her colonial possession would be cover ed. The value of the new station as a base for the replenishment of sup plies for American submarines, sub marine chasers and destroyers on the voyage to Europe- already has been demonstrated. It is permissible to disclose these facts nccatfee itJknownTtothw government that they are known in Germany. BOL5HEVIKI ASKS TO MAINTAIN ARMY London, April 10.
