General Joffre Can Do What He Likes With the
Germans in the Argonne
despatch from. Paris says
Progress by the French :troops in
the Champagne district; between
Rheims and the Argonne forest,
;Which has been noted every day for
more than tevo .weeks, has reetelted,
according to the official commu-
nique issued on Wednesday night,
in the oecupation o a large st ctiuu
of the ground which has been
strongly held by the Germans since
their retreat to the Aisne.
It is believed here that the Ger-
mans are concentrating forces ill
Flanders for a new drive at the
Channel ports, notably Calais. This
belief is based on a despatch from
London saying that the Gelman
commanders have received orders
to stop all traffic on roads leading
from the interior to Belgium to
West Financiers in order to prevent
the leaking out of news regarding
the m'ovemen't of troops.
The following supplementary offi
x,
tial etateanent was issuedlate .on
Wednesday night by the;
French
War Office
"It can be stated that ie the A.r:-
gonne, where we had been constant-
ly attacked since December, the
roles in the last three weeks have
been reversed. To -day we have
gained the undisputable ascenden-
cy. These local actions, of which
the Argonne is the theatre, show
that more and more the enemy is at
our mercy and that our moral su-
periority is assured.
"We have obtained this result by
a series of limited operations ener-
getically carried out, andalthough
the German forces which confront
us are extremely courageous, we
feel that at a given point and mo-
ment we are masters and can do
what we wish,"
The statement gives the details of
one of these engagements,. which,
it says, occur daily and chow the
splendid ardor of the troops.

The submarine I3-8 was built in
1908, and was a vessel of 300 .tons
displacement. She had a speed of
13 knots above water and 8 knots
submerged. Her maximum radius
of operations was 1,200 miles. The
vessel carried three torpedo tubes.
Her complement was 12 men.
The U-8 was a sister of the fam-
ous U-9, which early in the war
sank the British cruisers Hogue,
Aboukir and Cressy in the North
B

trail crujser Hawke to the bottom,

A despatch from Rome rays It
is learned that the Italian Govern-
ment is not interested in the modus

En'gtand which was proposed by the
United States, since it iso regarded

val is unnecessary and inexpedient,

German Crown Prince
Said to be in Disgrace.
A despatch from London says :
Speculation as to the long absence
of Crown Prince Frederick William
from the German reports has re-
sulted in numerous rumors. The
Daily Express, which a year ago
told a story of a quarrel between
the Kaiser and his son, prints a
Geneva despatch ascribing to an
Innisbruck source the definite
statement that the Prince is in dis-
grace and is living in Berlin in se-
clusion by order of the Kaiser.

TRY TO KILO BELGIAN QUEEN
Incendiary Bombs Aimed at Parade Ground While
She Was Reviewing Troops
A despatch from Paris says: The
Germans, warned by spies who still
succeed in operating in Flanders,
sent five.. aeroplanes laden with in-
cendiary bombs over La Planne
while Queen Elizabeth of the Bel-
gians was reviewing the Grenadier
Regiment and the Tenth Infantry

Taubes came abreast of the city

lea`the Red Cross Hospital, while
others dropped close to the Royal
villa, but none did• any damage.
While the presenee .of the .aero-
planes, which were so high as to be
almost invisible, created excite-
ment,- they were not allowed to in-
terfere with the review. Unmind-
ful of the fact that the proceedings
were punctuated occasionally by
the explosion of a, bomb, the band
attack from land would be welcomed
by the Turks, who have gathered a
strong army composed of their best
