Party Cut Off For Two Days Finally Rescued Almost Starved LONDON, April 26. While the British repulse violent German counter-attacks and press closer to Lens and Cambrai, the French infantry Is again hammering the southern end of the Hindenburg line. The concerted attacks by Gen. Nivelle's men over a wide front have followed week of intense bombardments. Between the Scarpa and Sensee rivers, where the British pressure has been heaviest during the past few days, there has been a fresh concentration of German troops.

The German counter-assaults in this district have been especially severe. At some points the British retired from some of their advanced positions to save useless -oss life, but they were able to re-occupy them later when the Germans fell back. In this manner more than one British detachment was cut off and had perilous escapes from the heavy shells that came from their own artillery as well as the German guns. One detachment of troops made up of Argyle Highlanders and Middlesex infantrymen had been given up for lost, having been missing for two When the British surged forward between the Sart and Vort woods, the British forces were released from their perilous position, but they were In a bad way from lack of food and water. The Prussian Guards, the flower of the German army, are being against the British on the front east of Arras and orders found on German corpses show that the Teutons were under orders to die rather than give up their positions.

Announce ment of the sinking of 55 more ships by German submarines led to pessi mistic criticism of the shipping situation by many newspapers today. "If fuller details were furnished the case would be found still said the Times in commenting upon the reticence of the admiralty. It added: "We see no good, but on the con trary much harm in trying to shirk or minimize the The Daily Mail calls the situation "very grave" and continues: "The shipping losses are felt more and more severely as they continue Just as the turns of a thumb-screw are little felt at first." The Daily Telegraph expresses the belief that the gravity of the situation has not yet been borne home to the English people. "The position brooks no delay," said the Telegraph.

"Not only this country, but the whole empire and the allied cause are imperilled so long as the losses at sea are in excess of the production of new ships." The week ending April 25, was the most successful for the German submarines since the ruthless U-boat warfare started. Of the 55 ships 1,600 tons.

PYLE, Manager. Slurs Wilson In Speech In House Mason, of Illinois, Is Hissed Down by Memebers and Galleries DECLARES WILSON FEARS ROOSEVELT Afraid to Allow Him to Raise Army Because of Political Ambitions WASHINGTON. April 2B Representative Mason, representative at large of Illinois, was silenced by hisses when he brought politics and an attack on President Wilson into his opposition to the conscription bill in the house this afternoon. Assailing Mr. Wilson for his failure to accept Roosevelt's division of volunteers for service in France, Mason laid: "The man in the White House has n't the Cjourage or political sagacity to permit Mr.

Roosevelt to enlist for rear he will profit politically. Before he proceeded further hisses came from the gallery and some members on the floor. "They don't Intend to let the colonel enlist for fear it will hurt the draft plant," Mason had declared at the outset of his remarks. "They don't want to let him make a hero of himself for while he Is spreading democracy in the old world, he may be raising hell with Democracy In this country." The speaker said keeping Col. Roosevelt out of the war seemed part of the organised efforts against the volunteer plan.

"Half of the people want to see the colonel go to war and half of them want him kept at home," said the speaker, observing also that many of those who want Roosevelt to go to the front are anxious to have him remain a long time. Because of Its desire for conscription Mason charged that the general staff of the army is doing its utmost to make the volunteer plan seem a failure. The staff, he declared, has gone so far as not to give volunteer recruits a chance. "Men will enlist. They are enlisting now at the rate of four thousand a day, more than can be cared for," said Mason, "but the general staff won't give the volunteers a chance." BLOOD OF DOG CAUSES FEUD CONSTABLE SCATTERS PUP DEBRIS ON PORCH Owner of Verandah Thus Smeared Further Saddened by Arrest and Fine "Bow-wow," went the doggie.

"Bang" went James Ellison's shotgun, and the purp was scattered all over the landscape and particularly that part of it embraced In Ben Scheman-sky's front yard and porch, corner South and Beaver streets. Thereat Ben was peeved. He stepped in the mess that evening when he came home. That was on April 23. The next day while Mr.

Schemansky was preparing a part of his yard to make two blades grow where one grew before, along sauntered the constable still toting his trusty weapon, loaded, presumably in both barrels. "Workin again, are you?" he volunteered to the industrious Benjamin. The latter, remembering that bath of dog blood and brains given his veranda and not relishing the tone of the constable's voice, arose to the occasion. "I have a bone to pick with you," he retorted, referring perhaps to the dog's, bones. The remark was apropos, and provocative.

The two argued. Schemansky asserted that the dog slain was but a 'pup, too young to die thus ingloriously. The officer thought that since it was not Ben's dog it was none of his business. He, maintained that he was authorized and duty-bound to kill tagless canines. Schemansky invited him into the house to kill his own dog.

The constable said it was merely a puppy and he would not harm it. Maybe Mr. Schemansky was cunningly contriving to have the officer commit a mal-practice or a malfeasance or something right In the house of a tazpaying citlsen of the republic But the officer was wise and wary. The wordy conflict continued outside the house. Personalities were bandied forth and back, till Ellison called his adversary a Jew." He followed this by climbing onto the porch which still bore the horrid marks of the previous day's tragedy where he seised Schemansky and tore his shirt.

A few minutes later Ellison arrested his lifelong acquaintance and haled him te the city hall, and afterwards to Alderman Mants's office where warrant was sworn out charging the prisoner with disorderly conduct and resistln 1 restating ball and golf are going on the shelf for the time being. The national pas time ror a while will be farming. Since L. M. seems to have charge of details and arrangements, we presume that the barristers are in the majority, but we can vouch for it that a few doctors and some merchants are In the crowd.

And potatoes and beans! That's the slogan of the more than score of New Castle men. Lawrence county is due for a flood of potatoes and beans when these husky farm hands get to work. They don't care a hang where the land is. All they want is ground that will raise vegetables. Of course, they aren't afraid of work, either, and they'll buckle down to the task Just like they go after the poor culprits before the bar, as the case may be.

Now let some kind heart come forth and donate the land for we want to see what's in our business and professional men along the line of farming. Marshal Joffre because their acquaintance with him hitherto has been through the "movies," where he has generally shown In the act of kissing a soldier while bestowing a medal or honor. This has caused wonderment in the American mind but today they know that Joffre is a man's sized man. There is something solid about Marshall Joffre. Heavy-set and not exactly esthetic In the lines of his figure, still he commands a great respect.

It is his face, that beams continual smiles and two gray eyes that shoot forth kindness, that attracts one to Joffre. One has but to look into his kindly eyes to realize why he has been called by the French, Grand Pere Joffre. Ills riorgeeus Uniform. Always Joffre wears the gaudy dress uniform of his rank. Upon his bushy gray hair he Jauntily places a blue and red cap.

His coat is of close fitting robin's egg blue and displays a massive pair of shoulders. His knlck- erDocKer trousers are of flaming scarlet, and upon his rotund legs he wears no puttees, but heavy woolen stockings. Force not brute force, but strength to conquer for Just causes that is the Impression Joffre creates. Compared with Gen. Bridges of the British mission, he does not appear half as soldiery, but no one doubts that Mar-shel Joffre Is a saldier and a master soldier for the record of the battle of the Marne will always stand a lasting monument to his military genius.

JOHNSTON FIRM TO ENLARGE WELL KXOWN riAXO COJfCEBX TO HAVE SEW PARTNERS TO HELP WITH BUSINESS Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Johnston of East street, who have been conducting the Jonhston Piano company in this city for a number of years, on account of ill health have associated in business with them, Mr.

Lawhead and Mr. Sharp of Butler. These men have been connected with a well known music house in Butler and come to this city very well versed along the piano line. They will work in co-operation with the Johnston piano store and will continue to handle the best grade of Baldwin pianos. Mr.

and Mrs. Johnston have been associated with the piano business in this city for the past fifteen years and have sold a large number of pianos. They are well known here to a large circle of friends and have conducted one of the largest piano stores in the city. They have been in poor health but the arrival of Mr. Lawhead and Mr.

Sharp will take some of the burden from their shoulders. t. S. Pyle. manager of the Shenanso works of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company announced at noon today that Hot Mills Nos.

WASHINGTON, April 26. Two vast ly different types of men are driving the Germans back on the Hindenburg line. That was evident today as the military members of the French and British missions to this country mingled in hotels and in conference rooms.

Sharp contrast is drawn between the professional soldier of England and the soldier of France who is fighting, not because it is a business, but rather because it is a necessity. Krench Show Brain. While the English military man Is tall, erect and bronred by exposure to the air, his French fellow soldier is inclined to be somewhat pale and colorless and wears upon his face the signs of the horrible experience he is going through. The English leader is assertive in his manner and not altogether mild. The French soldier Is rather retiring, almost shy, and in every instance a splendid gentleman.

The greatest difference may be seen between the "Tommies" and the "poil- who are the orderlies to the military men. The Tommy Is a Jaunty, undaunted chap, irrepressible in his spirit. The French poilu appears worn and haggard, and seems to be always deep in thought and carrying great burdens upon his shoulder. Joffre Picturesque. But far out above all of the rest of the military leaders gathered here stands the picturesque figure of Marshal Joffre, the hero of the Marne.

Americans have failed to grasp officer of the-law. When pinched Schemansky wanted to know whether Ellison was acting as a city or a county officer. He didn't explain on the stand in the alderman's court why he asked this question, nor did he state what he would have done had the constable boasted of being a county peace officer. With a city officer the prisoner went along quietly enough. Alt these facts came out at the hearing this morning, and aftc- weighing the evidence with a pair of steelyards, the magistrate fined the accused one dollar and costs with an alternative of a Jail sentence.

An appeal was taken by Attorney T. W. Dickey for his client. The barrister uttered dark words about the end not being yet and the disgrace which attends a certified and Pasteurized minion of the law who descends to profanity when engaged -bout his duties of shooting puppies and arresting peaceful Israelites. The inference was that an action of some sort will be taken against Elllsor.

for his conduct on that bloody April evening on the Schemansky porch and the torrid day which followed. Attorney Ed. Logan acted as counsel for Mr. Ellison. American magnetos should make sales In Brazil as shipments of these supplies from Europe have ceased.
