April 4.
A Bulking tribute to the bravery of
tne British has. been tendered by the
enemy to the famous FIfty-flrat division,
Which was holding- a ncctloii of tho line
111 the VIHnltV nt riamltnlipt , !,
apaume-Cambral road, on the flrt day

forward. The enemy Attacked In a

tiis mists and outflanked the Flfty-flrs
m ib initial rusn. ,
The tremendous struggle continued at
DOIgnles, which tho Germans finally
succeeded In taking the flrat day. It
Jr here that a British officer fired
1Q00 rounds from a machlno gun.be
roro his legs were shot off by a shell.
The British Immediately counter-attacked
with Infantry and tanks and
stormed their way through the shell
- shattered hamlet, which they held
mainly with machine guns until night,
when the enemy again surged forward
and recaptured Dolgnles.
Tho Cist was forced to fall back be
causo of tho situation on Its flanks.
Jt retired slowly, fighting every Inch of
tho way. The Germans now Introduced
a new scheme for advancing their troops.
They blasted shell craters along tho
front of tho Slst and Into these holes
they dribbled their Infantry, who found
, them good protection.
The 61st reached Ilermles. where a
bitter fight was waged. Tho enemy
made a frontal attack In three waves
on March 22, but, the assault broke
against the stone wall of resistance.
The day the enemy got a hold on Mor
chles It was only to be smashed out
again by the gallant Slst. but despite
the successes the Blst was forced -to
fall back through Beuguy'and then to
Bapaume, and finally to the lino be
tween Pulsleux and Mlraumont on tho
28th.
Tho division had been fighting for six
days and was almost exhausted. It
was ordered to fall back to the Beau
mont Hamel line, a little farther west,
but many of the men could not walk,
they were so tired from lack of sleen.
Then came over from the German side
, one of those little red balloons, which
tho enemy has been using to carry out
propaganda. Tho balloon was shot
down and here Is the message It con
talned :
"Good old 51st division, sticking to
It yet 7 Cheer up!" i

Of the Home Defense League were
Sworn in last night at the Mayor's

Jt Is known that Mayor Smith dis
cussed the vice problem during the
meeting, although he would not make
public the text of his address to the
members of the league. Police Captain
YTIIIIam B. Mills, who has been assigned
to' the reserves In an advisory capacity,
also addressed the meeting.
Within a few days the reserves will
be supplied with badges, uniforms and

will be given a regular course of train

after they have taken oath will be

One of the first steps taken by the

twenty men, acting under orders ot
Captain Mills, of the Traffic Squad,
have begun to make a clean-up of the

Howard Lawson. It was In his district
that tho head of the Mayor's gaming

which fifty men were arrested over
faming tables and a large um of
money was seised. This raid occurred
oil the night of tho day Secretary Dan
teJs'a letter was received.
Lieutenant Barry, commenting on his
suspension, said: "I was suspended, I
believe, because -two men detailed ay a
dance last Friday night are said by
women welfare workers to have lined up
at the bar and drunk beer. I was oft

what occurred. I have no fear I can

With the battle of Plcardy brought

In tho previous attempt to take
Amiens, tho invaders launched con

trying to drive a wedge at the base
from the cast.
A correspondent at Canadirn army

Both the enemy's weight of ar

point to another attempt against
Arras and Vimy Bidge.
The Anglo-French are on ad
vanced ground at Ayette, eight miles
south of Arras, near Hebuterne and
at Plcmont.
Berlin Reports Conflict
Berlin reports that the British at
tack on Ayetto was repulsed, but
this may refer to tho previous day's
fighting. It also notes a revival of
artillery activity in the Verdun sector
and in the Central Vosges.
There is great activity behind the
lines. It is known that very heavy
French re-enforcements aro coming
up rapidly and when the great battle
is resumed, as it is likely to be in
a few days, the Allied forces will be
in much better shape, and the Ger-
mans naturally in much worse state,
because of their huge losses, than at
the begining of the offensive. I
The French have already brought ,
up so many fresh men that they have
extended their line, which ended at i
Moreuil, to Thenncs, near the Luce i
rivulet and not far from Demuin, I
where some of the fiercest fighting j
of last week occurred. This extension I
enables the British to shorten their ,
portion of tho line.

The minister said he was anxious that

been my first thought to furnish the

quantity of grain to be delivered to tho
