N. THE WHOLE YPRES SALIENT AND CONTINUED SAFETY OF THE CHANNEL PORTS AT STAKE IN THE FIGHTING IN FLANDERS AND FRANCE BRITISH HAVE CHECKED ENEMY ADVANCE FROM LYS TOWARD BETHUNE German Pressure Continues With Great Weight North FIGHTING IS DESPERATE So Far as Hazebrouck Is Concerned the Germans Are Held For Present HUNS DRIVE FOR BETHUNE Enemy Twice Attacked Locon, On 3 Line Three Miles North of Bethune, But Each Time Repulsed. Americans in Fighting. Stiffening British resistance has checked the German drive southward from the Lys toward Bethune and westward from Merville towards Hazebrouck near the Belgian border. The enemy pressure is continuing with grent weight toward the north and desperate battling is in progress along the line running southwest from Messines to the south of Bailleul.

The whole Ypres salient and the continued safety of the channel ports are pointed to by observers abroad as at stake in the fighting now underway. Hazebrouck and Bailleul, important railwAy centers, are vital feeding points for Messines ridge and the Ypres position in general. So far as Hazebrouck is concerned the Germans have been hold for the time, at least, on the edge of the forest of Nieppe, west of Merville, and some five miles away from their objective. The Ger, mans have been battering away at the British line here since they captured Merville on Wednesday night but have advanced only a few hundred yards, being stopped short of the forest, which is about a mile and a half beyond ville. British Resistance Stiff.

Little additional light was thrown by Saturday's dispatches upon the 'situation around Bailleul, to which the Germans had worked very close in Friday's fighting. It was revealed, however, that the enemy was attacking heavily to the northeast of Bailleul, between it and Messines. The British are on comparatively high ground here and the reports did not indicate that the Germans were making much progress. On the southerly side of the wedge which the Germans have driven in between La Bassee and Armentieres the British resistance was notably stiff. thune has been threatened by the Bepush in this direction.

The twice atenemy tacked Locon, on this line about three miles north of Bethune, but each time was repulsed, the second time more easily than the first. The British also held firmly around Givenchy, on their right flank, and advanced their line by capturing an important German post in this region. There was an improvement also in the allied position on the Somme battle front. The Germans had gained a footing in Hangard-en-Santerre in the southeast of Amiens in an attack on Friday, but a combined drive by the British and French during the night at the point where their lines join, the river Luce near Hangard, restored the situation, putting the French again in complete possession of the village. Meanwhile the American forces are contributing notably to foe maintenance (Continued on Page Three) MISS SYLVIO VON RUCK IS DEAD AT ASHEVILLE Daughter of Late Dr.

SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 14, 1918 PRICE FIVE CENTS LIBERTY BOND PARADE HELPED HERE GREATLY BY CHARLIE CHAPLIN Great Celebration For This Section of State Yesterday CHARLIE MADE A SPEECH No Bond Sales Made But Pledges Were Taken by Mr. Chaplin During His Talk BAND FROM CAMP GREENE Many Units in the Parade With the Boy Scouts Carrying the Kaiser in Chains--Students of Colleges in the Line. Impetus was added to liberty bond sentiment of this section of the state by 8 great patriotic display in Greensboro yesterday.

A parade of length was the central event, and it is safe to say that Charlie Chaplin was the feature of the parade. Charlie spoke and urged bonds. He said he WAS no speaker but he made the folks know that he in earnest about what he said, something of a feat for a humorist. No bond sales were undertaken, because the plans are for the to start Tuesday selling drive morning with well organized canvassing teams. However, the motion picture hero took of thousands the pledge to buy bonds when called upon all who would invest to lift their hands.

He spoke on a small form erected in Curry platcourt, on the campus of the State Normal college. His worth, companion of the speaker was Charles LapSaturday Evening Post, formerly of the London Daily Mail editorial staff. Charlie Is British about that." Helped the Committee. Both these gentlemen are Britons, delit the fact that one is better known to the American youth than any statesman in the world. Lapworth didn't make a speech, in the usual sense of the word.

Neither attempted oratorical flights, and this was not out of harmony with the MeAdoo plan to boost the third liberty loan. As worth said, when Mr. Lapthe secretary of the treasury looked about for folks to assist in arousing the country, he decided known to but not experiment with people well as oratore. He took motions picture personages and a few others. Mr.

Lapworth talked a minute of the urgency of the issues of the war and introduced Charlie. "No, I can't tell you. This is too serious," said the the films to a small boy back funny man of of the stand. He made the folks laugh, however, with hat trick and other peculiar mannerisms, and they cheered him and promised to buy bonds when he appealed for this support of the government. "The government can take if it your money asks wants to." he said, "but it only you to lend it.

It is perfectly secure. They got $100.000 out of me and I'm some little businese man, I tell you. But beside that, if it isn't secure, nothing is, so there is no need to worry Chaplin lent himself to the plans of the local committee with superb complaisance. He rode in the parade over its long, slow route, to the delight of the thousands along the streets, for just as though he were getting paid it at the usual rates. Tiny young folks at every corner wanted to "see Charlie," were eagerly awaiting his appearance, and rhapsodically welcomed him without introduction, who would stare blankly at the name of the President.

Undoubtedly, the interesting itor helped to make an epochal celebration. Charlie is small and neat in his tweeds.

LAST DITCH UTTERANCE OF SIR DOUGLAS HAIG PUZZLING WASHINGTON Seemingly Not Justified by Map Situation CONDITIONS SEEM EQUAL Military Experts, However, Realize There May Be Unknown Factors HARD TO PROCURE NEWS And Pure Guessing Goes On in Washington-Even Loss of Amiens and of Railroads Is Not Vital Nervous Strain. Dally News Bureau and Telegraph Office The Riggs Building (by Leased Wire) (By C. W. GILBERT.) (Copyright, 1918, by New York Tribune.)

The truth is that even the staff of the army not, as one fore expressed it, "the cards on the table it." Our army here knows little more late developments and pects than the readers of the immediate do. No one in France has time newspapers in midst of the fighting to sit down write dispatches explaining it, even were wise to commit certain ments in the situation to the wires. Think Opposing Forces Equal. What the what they have army all authorities know along based confidence upon is the fundamentals contest in France.

Lloyd just said that the allied forces George outnumbered. Bonar Law in a view of the military situation delivered just before this great offensive in anticipation of it, said that if central powers should bring all from the east front to the they would not outnumber the French the British more than the French British outnumbered the Germans year.

Haig's Cry is Baffling. The mystery of Haig's cry and of rather despairGermany's second big sueon the west front remains unexplained. The question why there no major counter offensive remains unanswered.

Predictions of a offensive were made in the today just as they first early days of the drive toward Amiens and it was thought that Haig's statement such an effort. But the foreshadowthe confidence that similar predictions dictions a few days ago had. The suggestion is made was scattered that the allied and has not been organized and therefore 1 counter en a large scale has been But that, like everything else heard military circles, is pure guessing.

Men that. granting the Germans have a big contribution to the science of offensive in trench warfare, and no, doubts that they have, the new tactics ought not to have more than once before Amiens. has happened since ought not to have happened.

Further Retirement Not Defeat, If the Haig statement means that British are faced with the necessity vielding a critical position, no one here thinks that a further retirement means defeat. If the British fall back, they will doubtless fall back in the region Arras and they will pivot their line south of Ypres to protect, the channel ports, This movement widen the base of Germany's criginal salient, permit that movement to gro forward Amiens and the railroad. This will be troublesome to the allies, more in the matter of the rapid shifting of reserves and down their front, where the Germans already have. the advantage, than in the conveyance of supplies. But even the loss of Amiens and the cutting of the railroad is not vital.

The vital thing is that the line shall hold, hold somewhere. and the allied 'armies intact until adequately reinforced. remain Lajoie Declared Free Agent Indianapolis.

BREAK IN THE ALLIED LINES WOULD NOT MEAN WAR'S END Not Even If It Included Capture of Paris and Amiens--It Would Simply Mean Beginning of Long Struggle by America and Her Allies to Recapture Them -Principal Business in Hand Now as Before Is Beating the German Army. Daily Nery, and Telegraph Office Biggs Building (by Leased Wire) (By DAVID LAWRENCE.) (Copyright, 1918, by New York Evening Post.) Washington, April that have wrought havoc with the telegraph wires of both companies have imposed a virtual censorship on news from the national capital as well as crippled government communications on war business. With the exception of a few wires which are being used by the press associations and for the transmission of messages for the state, war and navy departments, Washington has been struggling along with hardly any communication with New York and eastern cities during the last two days.

Much of the wire trouble is between Philadelphia and New York, but most of the messages addressed by Washington correspondents in the last to western points as well have been turned back by them. Telephone facilities are also inadequate. Mails are de- layed. Delays in Messages Serious. And this at the most critical moment of the war illustrates the unwisdom of the government in relying on air communication when the number of underground a wires might have been increased as matter of military necessity during the past year.

Double out, by Austria in all his messages now become patent to the world, the fact is that he has been constantly, well informed concerning situation in the dual monarchy and only reluctantly was the decision made to sever diplomatic relations and declare a state of war. Peace Talk Being Squelched, The enforced use of Austrian Jon the western front where they would troops surely oppose the American army outweighed all diplomatic obstacles, but even this did not sweep aside a certain leaders tendency to on the part of the regard Washington as their ultimate friend in the making of a general peace. Today, however, when the chance of a break between and Austria is con-idered remote, due Germany to the excellence German precautions, all business emphasis is placed on the principal in hand--defeating the German army. For several days talk of peace has been coming out of Austria, it being desired by Berlin politicians to give the impression that the entente is, or has been secretly negotiating for peace. The publication of the Austrian emperor's letter is expected to squelch the propaganda, though the best damper on any peace talk is the distressing situation on the western front.

To all Washing ton it seems clear that there never will be peace while the armies of democracy are at a disadvantage. There will be peace only when the futility of what Germany is now doing in utter disregard of human life to gain selfish objects is fully demonstrated, not merely to the outside world but to the people of Germany themselves.
