which will open here tomorrow.
It is tho present Intention of Secretary
of tho Treasury McAdoo. and satisfactory
lo Major Smith, that tho bell bo used,
provided tho ptoper precautions for Its
protection during tho trip be taken.
When the subject of the Uell as a

Ol I'llliaueipiiiuus necuusc oi mo uuiiki-is
lo tho hlstorlo rello a road trip would

onstrated, on tho trip to San Francisco,
during tbo Panama-Paelllc exposition,
that such a trip Is feasible und reason
ably safe, nnd Mayor Smith finally de
cided that Vhero would bo no obJuVtlon
to tho city offering tho bell to tho na
tlonal Liberty I-oau commlttea during
the present campaign.
Secretary McAdoo has Informed -Mayor
Smtfli that ho would llko lo use it in
the fall of tho jeur.
"I sbotil llko nothing better," says
Ir. Adoo," than to use this historic old
bell In tho present Liberty Loan cam

better use In tbo campaign next fall.

1GTII DAY OF HATTLE
LONDON, April 5.
Ltritish forces were pressed back
to positions cast of VillerR-Bretoneux
(eight miles east of Amiens) in
heavy lighting yesterday afternoon
and evening. Field Marshal Haig re
ported today. The British aro main

.Strong enemy forces in repeated
assaults were beaten off with loss.
We were .pressed back to posi

neighborhood of Bucquoy and in
the Scarpe Valley the cticmy'tr

said.
Our artillery engaged hostile
concentrations in the neighborhood
of Albert.
Drive Is Resumed
Heavy German assaults along a
, sixteen-mile front, between the
Somnie aml Avre Rivcrs bl.oke the
stagnation that had lasted for sevs
eral days in the great world's battle
in Picardy.
Press advices received from the
front today said that the fighting
was continuing with violence.
Both the British and French were
compelled to give' some ground in
the district immedirtely cast, and
southeast of Amiens, but the Ger
man advance was trifling.
The German attacks were delivered
after a severe bombardment from
heavy German guns which had been
moved to the front.
The Germans paid heavily for the
small amount of ground jraincd. Thej
massed field gray columns were
mowed down in heaps by tho Britialt
and French artillery and the muddy
field of battle over which the men
struggled was littered with dead nnd
wounded.
