Southwest of Uailleul enemy parties temporarily penetrated our positions, but a counter-attack rc sto: cd out lines. On the northern bank of the Lys Canal hostile infantry attempted to advance, but was caught under our artillery fire and was unable to de velop its attack. Successful minor operations cast of Robecq last night resulted In the capture of 150 prisoners and sev eral machine guns.

"Wo must bear in mind that the enemy Is waging a baulc of annihilation to achieve victory." tho statement says. "Ho Is lighting today with tho sole aim of annihilating the British armies. Thus terrain conquered counts for little.

"In the offensive In Pieardy, the Ger mans sought for a lift lu the lino wheio the French and Btltlsh forces Joined. Falling to achieve any definite far-reaching results from the operation, thoy promptly return to the assault elsewhero and plunge forward, hoping that by driv ing a wedge Into the sector along tho front held by Portuguese and British units, they may be ablo to roll tho British toward the sea and break through. "This Is the operation attempted this week in the region of the famous battle ground of tho early days of the war In front of Lille. Here, on a frontage of 16,000 yards, stretching from Armen tlcrcs to the La Bassec canal, tho seg ment held by the Portuguese troops, (lanked on either side by British di visions, was penetrated after an Intense bombardment.

Doctor Krauskopf said that money loaned to the Government now Is only to forestall a far greater cost, which, he said, would befall bhould Germany conquer this country. "In 1871," he said, "when Germany vanquished France, she exacted an In demnity of Jl. 0U0, 000. 000, three times the sum the war had cost htr. If now she should succeed In driving through the British lines to Calais, and then with France under her Iron heel eventually overthrow Kngland, and after years more of war conquer the United States, think what the indemnity could be which we, tha people of the richest country In the world, would be compelled to pay.

"The enemy now finds himself within forty miles of Calais. Tho main lines of communication to the chnnnel ports radiate vertically from this battlefront and thus facilitate the German advance. "During the four days' fighting the enemy has gained a consldeiable local success in this area. "We must bear In mind that the enemy Is waging a battle of annihilation to achieve Victory. Ho Is lighting today with the solo aim of annihilating the British armies. Thus, terrain conquered counts for little. If. the enemy can muster the driving power ho will.

Lean Smillirrn Activity "There has been less activity along tho southern flank of the Plcardy sa lient. Here tho line taken over by the French Is now fully consolidated. After tho bloody battles which have been rag ing In the area between Montdldlcr and Koyon, the enemy, fearing a counter attack along tills1 flank of their new deeply curved salient, struck repeated blows to glvo themselves elbow room south of the Olse. "The Germans, by stubborn and cost ly driven thrusts, were able to force the French out of the triangular area formed by tho Olse, the Ailette and the old line stretching from La Fere to Antzy-Le-Chateau. "On an approximate twelve mile front the enemy advanced to a depth ranging from thiee to blx miles.

Austrian Foreign Minister Quits t ontlnurd from I'oite One burg familv. with tlu related Hpnivdi family, would be likely to take the-antl-PrussInn view nf the rightful statu' of Alsace-Lorraine-. That the n"Ulrnl nionnieli was closely connected by parentage with tho house eif Hapsburg when Hmpernr Charles ac cepted tho Austrian throne Is common talk among the diplomatists of the neu tral states. He personally was desirous of peace. Some accounted for this desire by the fact that tho military fortunes of Aus tria then wre nt their low ebb; others assert that the new Hmperor looked at the situation from a different standpoint, expressing himself not lu these exact words, but to this effeit "I am not responsible for this war mid I had no share In the policv leading tin to it Until my uncle, Francis Ferdi nand. tHed at Sarajevo, I was a very sec ondary person, and many years might have elapsed before I might have been called to tho throne. When I ascended the throno I found my dominion deso lated by war. my subjects suffering. I desire the restoration of peace ; I am even willing to make sacrllices to bring It about." Regarding the specific question or Alsace-Lorraine ralsexl by Count Cer nln, Foreign Minister of Austria, and Premier Clemcnccau, of France, it Is not very surprising to find Hmperor Charles admitting tho Just claim.- of Franc CZERNIN IN OFFICE SINCE DECEMBER, 1916 Count Czernln von Chudcnltz succeed ed Baron von Bui Ian as Austro-Hun-garlan Foreign Minister In December, 1916. He was Minister of Rumania until that country entered tho wnr. Burian was continuously under fire after he took otlice In January, 1916, succeeding Count Berchtold. Burian was generally credited with being stronglv under tho Influence of Berlin and It was reported that Hmperor Charles was anxious to more sharply emphasize the Individuality 'of Austria. Czernln. a Bohemian grand belgneur and territorial magnate, is the oldest and closest friend of Count Berchtold, through whose In fluence e'zcrnln's appointment was at tributed. Czernln has American connections, his younger brother. Otto, while secretary of the Austrian embas'sv In London, married Miss Lucille Beckett, daughter of Lord Grlmthorpe, and of the latier's American wife, now dead, who was Miss Lucy Lee, of New York Tho radical peace views outlined by Czernln from time to time aie reported to havo created Increasing friction with Berlin. MILITARISTS FORCED ACTION, CAPITAL VIEW Washington, April 15. Count e'zcrnln's resignation was re garded today as largely attributable to failure of his peace efforts, hut more to the fact that the militarists now In the saddle want stronger control. Tho Austrian peace trickery and the blundering of her secret diplomatic peace moves as exposed In recent days prob ably had much to do with his retire ment. Whether Czernln wns sincere or not, It was apparent that he was striving to get a peace for Austria beforo It was too late. Then suddenly, apparently at German militarist dictation, he Ignored President Wilson und began Imposing burdensome condition on Rumania. His whole change of front Indicated cleatly ho had heard fiom the military master. SAY AUSTRIAN RULER ALSO WROTE TO POPE Italian Press Says Holy See Was Asked to Intervene for Austria Rome, April 15.
