Checked decisively at two points on the Ypres Canal by the French and
Belgians, losing Hartmannsweiler Kopf, in the Vosgcs, and slowly forced back
at Bt. Julien by' (lie British, the great German offensive move has faltered
and appears on the point of breaking down. Above all, shrouded in a cloud
o uncertainty, there hangs in the rear of thcKalscr's invaders the threatened
i attack from a point on the Xorth Sea coast above Ostcnd, of a great new
English army, supported by the guns of the most powerful war fleet in the
world.
Het Sas and LUernc, both on the Ypres Canal, have been ictaken by the
Allies, according to official reports from London, while northeast of Ypres
the British have taken the offensive and are slowly forcing the Germans back.
According to reports from Holland and rumors current In London the
British, who have ordered all shipping to Dutch ports halted, are preparing
to deliver a combined attack by land and sea on the Flemish coast towns held
tl the Germans.
Berlin admits the loss of Lizerne, but says French attacks at Hartmanns
vxiler Kopf and other points in the Vosgcs and Wocvre were repulsed.
Every effort made by the Russians to recapture the Important Ostry
height, in the Ussok Pass region, has failed, according to the Austrian War
Office. The Austrians have advanced fully 12 miles, compelling the Slavs to
lleld S trenches. Elsewhere on the Carpathian front and In Bukowlna there
have been only artillery aueis.

BRITISH ARMY AND FLEET
TO ATTACK GERMAN REAR
LONDON. April 2T.
Holland Is Isolated, except by telegraph,
the British having placed an embargo on
Bhlpplng, although two steamships loaded
with produce arrived at English ports
from Holland yesterday.
Germnny has closed both her own and
the Belgian borders. The German action
la dictated by he desire to hide the move
ment of troops. The British action is not
explained.
WASHINGTON. April 27.
From Dutch sources, based upon what
were said to be the latest advices from
that country. comeB a report that Eng
land has been massing transport ships
and large war vessels, which can bom
bard the Belgian coast while remaining
out of reach of the coast batteries nnd
will probably try to land a new expedi
tionary force Bomewhere between HeyBt
and Blankenbergh, or elsewhere, north of
Ostend, for the purpose of attacking the
right flank of the German forces now
attacking along the Tser Canal.
The territory between the Dutch frontier
and Ostend Is the weak spot of the Kai
ser's line. Ever since the Germans occu
pied the province of West Flanders they
have been obliged to guard against nn
attack of a British fleet upon this point.
The little villages from Herat to Ostend
have been fortified as well ns could be,
and at regular Intervals along the shore
batteries of field pieces have been hidden
In the sand dunes to provent the landing
of British troops.
After the capture of Antwerp, when no
further danger threatened the German
right flank from tho Belgian army, the
harbor of Zeebruggo wns made the main
naval base on the North Sea. From this
port the German submarines have been
operating In the English Channel. But
Zeebrugge la an undefended port, and the
fortifications which the Germans have
built there could not withstand an attack

GRANTED A RECEIVER
J. Howard Wilson, President of
Company, Named by Court
After Firm Files Petition.
Slack business conditions due, accord
ing to the officials of the company, to
tho war In Europe, resulted today In a
temporary receiver being appointed for
the big wagon building corporation of
Fulton-Walker Company. The appoint
ment was assented to by the corporation
and Is said to be merely a protective
measure, as the firm Is solvent, with
assets of $103,151.43, and liabilities of

J. Howard Wilson, president of the
company, was appoTnted receiver. He
furnished a bond of J10.0HO. The applica
tion was made by BeckwIU Chandler
Company a merchandise creditor. It was
explained to Judge Dickinson In the
United States Circuit Court, that the
wagon.bulldlng firm Is without ready cash
to meet maturing obligations.
Officials of the firm said later that
business now shows decided signs of lm
provement. They declare that it fell off
considerably after the war started, caus

AUDACIOUS SURVIVOR
PAINTS VIVID PICTURE
OF SINKING BATTLER
Mine, Not German Subma
rine, Dealt Death to Bri
tain's Grim Fighter,
Wireless Man Tells
Evening Ledger.
Six months after the British super
dreadnought Audacious, his Majesty's
16,000,000 sea fighter, was sunk oft the
north Irish coast, the true story of her
destruction became known today. The
pride of tho British navy was not struck
by n torpedo fired from n German sub
marine, according to an eyewitness who
was aboard the ship when she was en
veloped In smoke and flames Instead,
Brltnln's newest and most powerful bat
tleship on October 27, 1014, struck an
nnchored mine.
From the lips of J. Manners, 22 years
old, a former resident of Philadelphia, who
served as a wireless telegrapher aboard
the Audacious when sho struck tho
mine, today came the graphic story of
the catastrophe Manners came here re
cently from Europe He arrived in New
York several weeks ago ns a stowawav
and succeeded In keeping himself Invisible
to the Immigration Inspectors. His tale
of the sinking of the Audacious Is Just
as thrilling as that of his trip across the
high seas after making his escape In
Amsterdam, where ho had been Interned.
Yenrs ago, Mnnneis made his home at
Falrmount avenue and 7th street Since
his arrival here he has spent his time In
glancing over the war reports on tho
bulletin hoards. He Is about 5 feet tall.
weighs about 132 pounds and has reddish
hair.
CAN NEVER FOBGET IT.
"I expect to live to an old nge," said
young Manners today, "but It doesn't
make any difference how long I shall be
blessed to live, for I shall never forget
the time when the Audacious wa3 struck
by the anchored mine."
"My 30 chums nnd myself were on the
Audacious Just about 23 days when the
accident occurred. The ship hit tho
anchored mine on the morning of Oc
tober 27. I was In my cabin at my tele
graph Instrument receiving and sending
codo messages from Ungllsh wnrMilps,
cruisers and other craft. Members of
the crew were stationed nt their various
posts. It was about 3 o'clock In the
morning when the mine was encountered.
The roports sent to this country by tho
war correspondents that the Audacious
was destroyed by a torpedo fired from a
little German submarine are untrue. The
tnfact Is that the Audacious struck
an anchored mine. This fact Is known
to every high member of tho English
navy."

"I don't remember Just how many

Enos as Base of Operations.
LONDON, April 27.
Fierce lighting Is In progress between
Turkish troops and the allied forces
landed on Gnlllpoll Peninsula for the
Dardanelles campaign, according to a
dispatch received from Athens today. It
states that tho city of Enos north of
the Gulf of Saros has been made tho
main base of the Allies. The Turkish
garrison there retired to the Interior
without firing n shot after the comman
der of the Anglo-French fleet had sent
notice that the fleet would bombard tho
town. Tho Inhabitants were given 21
hours to leave.
The bombardment opened Sunday morn
ing, but ceased shortly, as no reply was
mnde by the Turks. Air scouts In hydro
aeroplanes made a reconnaissance, nnd
reported that tho Turks had withdrawn
to Ipsala.
A dispatch from Salonika states that
tho Anglo-French forces landed on Galli
poli Fenlnsula number 300,000 men, most
of them veterans from the western the
atre of war. whose place In France have
been taken by new troops.
The British War Office today refused
to confirm this statement, but the Gov
ernment censor permitted Its transmis
sion. Correspondents at Mytllene and Chios,
In the Aegean, report that the allied fleet
Is pouring a rain of shells upon the Dar
danelles forts. Twenty-two of the most
powerful warships In the British and
French navies are said to be co-operating
In tho bomoardment.
Under cover of this terrific fire, mine
sweepers have entered the straits, the
correspondents say, and are removing the
mines placed there by the Turks tn the
month's Interval between the last general
attack and the present one.
In their land operations against the
Dardanelles, the efforts of tho Allies are
opposed by Turkish armies commanded
by German generals and officered by
Germans. One Is the first army, com
manded by F'eld Marshal von der Goltz,
nnd the other the Dardanelles army, led
by General Llman von Sanders. On Gal
lipoli Peninsula alone, according to re
cent reports from Constantinople. 000.000
Turkish troops have been assembled.
It Is probable that the Allies will find
their advance opposed by half a million
well-trained and well-equipped men.
Theee are troops of the first line, whose
military training has been going on un
der German direction for many years.
Many German officers are reported to
have arrived at Constantinople recently.
