PUT OP GREAT GUNS AND TANKS RESISTANCE CHEER THE WOUNDED (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, March 27.\u2014Four train loads of wounded officers and men from the battle front in France reached London last night.As they were being transferred to ambulances, crowds cheered and threw flowers.The wounded responded smilingly to their greetings.\u201cWhat was it like?\u201d was asked of one of the men.\"Oh, Fritz just rained shells on us like a hailstorm,\u201d was the reply.GERMAN LOSSES ESTIMATED 400,000 (Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, March 27.\u2014The official French statement follows: \u201cLast evening and during the night the Germans, weakened by their heavy losses, were compelled to retard their efforts.The val-iance of the French troops defending the ground foot by foot is beyond all praise.\u201cThe French are holding a line running through L\u2019Echelle, St.Aurin and Bouvraignes, north of Lassign)', in front of the southern part of Noyon, and along the left bank of the Oise.During the night the French repulsed strong re-connoitering .parties .which attempted to approach their positions northwest of Noyon.\u201cOn the remainder of the front there was an intermittent bnni-bardment- Official Report Says 963 Gun of AM Calibre Taken and 100 Tanks.BOLSHEVIK! TROOPS DEFEAT AUSTRIAN FORCE (Associated Press Despatch) BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, March 27.\u2014Hard fighting occurred last night about the town of Albert.Large enemy forces pushed forward toward the place, but at last accounts the British were holding them doggedly at this possible gateway of Amiens.The conflict in the sector around Roye and Noyon appears to be of great importance from the many indications that the German higher command is attempting to split the Allied front there and start a rolling up process either way.From the average of casualties in the various German units, as given hy prisoners, one arrives at the conclusion that the German Emperor has lost 50 per cent of these men since he gave the signal for the offensive.The British statement of yesterday said it had been established that more than seventy German divisions had been engaged in the battle.The usual estimate of the present strength of a German division is 120,000, so that a loss of fifty per cent, would mean casualties in excess of 400,000 for the Germans in less than a week of fighting.Recapture Three Important Commercial Cities Northeast of Odessa.PRAISE WORK OF GERMAN NON- COM.OFFICERS AMERICAN TROOPS TAKE PART IN COUNTER ATTACKS (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, March 27.\u2014In the German tactics of pushing in by sheer weight of numbers, the non-commissioned officers have proven themselve: very valuable, according to a corres pondent of the Daily Mail.\u201cThey have led and rallied their men with energy and tact, he writes.\u201cWe have been told by some people who pretend to understand the German army, that in these very qualities non-commissioned officers would be found lacking.\u201d -«- E.I.MEN ON CASUALTY LIST DANVILLE BOY WOUNDF-D Mrs.C.H.Williams, of 104 Drummond Road, has received a telegram from the military authorities stating that her son Corporal C.R.Golden, who is a resident of Danville, has been wounded.Corp.Golden enlisted for active service with the 117th Battalion and was later transferred to the 6th Canadian Mounted Rifles.The extent of his injuries has not us yet been ascertained, the telegram merely stating that he had been injured.(Associated Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM, March 27\u2014Ameri-¦an troops have taken part in count-:r attacks against the German- front ear La Fere, writes the military corespondent of the Vorwaerts, who says the attacks were repulsed.The correspondent adds: \u201cAfter the first surprise, the enemy pressure along the entire front is naturally growing stronger.Threatening catastrophe compels the enemy to reckless action.South of the \u201cBreak through\u201d front he, therefore, is collecting a strong reserve intended for a flank assault on our

to a Reuter despatch from Petrograd.Three Italians and Two Canadians Unable to Produce the Necessary Papers.General Korniloff, the former Russian commander-in chief, allied himself with the Don Cossacks against the Bolsheviki and has been operating between Moscow and Rostoc.Heveral times he has been reported defeated and near capture, but always managed to elude the Govern- nient irnotia.Five more men have been rounded up for failing to observe the regulations set down in the Military Service Act by the Dominion police, who have charge of the drag-net in this district for deserters.Three of the men who were rounded up yesterday are Italians, who were of military age, but who were unable to produce their necessary papers, while the two other men caught in the dragnet were Canadians.It is understood that the Dominion Police squad here have quite a little work before them, for they are being furnished with names from headquarters of me:?who have not obeyed the instructions of the military authorities.The officers in charge of the work have been engaged most of the time at the railway stations, but they intend to invade the billiard halls, bowling alleys, and other resorts where young men spend their evenings, in the near future.GERMANY ORDERS FRONTIERS CLOSED (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, March 27.\u2014The German-Dutch, Germnn-Swis* and German-Dnnish frontiers will be closed to international traffic on Wednesday or Thursday, according to a Central News despatch from Amsterdam (Via Reuter's Ottawa Agency) LONDON, March 27.\u2014Telegraphing-.from British headquarters in France last evening, Reuter\u2019s correspondent says: - \u201cNever has the traditional quality of British steadfastness been more wonderfully illustrated than now.Time and again treops have been over-whelified and overran by swarming legions, and as often they have managed to emerge and regain their line.What would be regarded as consummate acts of skill in field manoeuvre are being constantly performed in the most grim struggle.\u201cOne of the dramatic incidents was when our most weary troops, fighting hopeless odds and striving to prevent the Germans from securing a certain crossing of the Somme, the French reinforcements arrived and without hesitation poured ir.amongst the British, infusing fresh vigor and saving the situation.\u201cMen now returning from the battle line are many of them so dog-weary that they do not remember where they came from or what day of the week it is, but in this respect the situation is improving steadily as the reserves are moving into position.\u201cPrisoners attribute the German success to the wonderful concentration of artillery, the full advantage of which they are losing.\u201cAt various places the enemy is most reluctant to occupy evacuated positions.Whether they are afraid of being trapped or of being shelled to rags is only conjectural.\u201cNow that we are operating in the open our great superiority in mechanical transport is giving us the advantage of mobility over the enemy.The back areas are teeming with motor busses packed with soldiers speeding to their posts.\u201cSo far the enemy\u2019s intentions, beyond securing a general breakthrough, are not revealed.Some German divisions appear to have been ordered to go as far as possible.Today's fighting has been of the most bitter character along most of the battlefront, but latest reports indicate less movement than heretofore, probably due to the German infantry outstepping the artillery.\" -?- JAPAN WILL GIVE SHIPS TO AMERICA KAISER AND LUDENDORFF HAD QUARREL Correspondent Tells of Violent Scenes Between Leaders at General Headquarters.(Aasociated Pre*s Despatch) PARIS, March 27.\u2014Emperor William and General Von Ludendorff had a violent quarrel before the beginning of the great attack on the western front, according to a prominent Swiss who has just returned to Zurich after some weeks in Germany, and has been interviewed by the correspondent of the Temps.This man is quoted as saying: \u201cThere was much indiscreet talk in Berlin before the present offensive concerning extremely violent scenes between Germany\u2019s leaders at general headquarters.General Von Ludendorff spoke so violently, and authoritatively, that the Emperor, becoming very pale, arose from his chair and, pounding the table, demanded: \u2018General, are you or I Emperor of Germany?\u2019 \u201cGeneral von Ludendorff replied that he was only a soldier, and more than any one else desired peace.He said he was convinced that his plans for an offensive were capable of bringing it about.\u201d LUDENDORFF PRAISES BRITISH TROOPS.(Associated Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM, March 27.\u2014 \u201cA great battle has been fought and victory has been won, but nobody can foresee what will result from it,\u201d said General von Ludendorff in an interview with the correspondent at the front of the Tages Zeitung of Berlin.The General praised the British for their tenacious resistance, and continued: \u201cThe British believed they could rely on the strength of machinery.The employment of tanks and great numbers of machine guns is typical of their method of warfare.\u201d The German infantry, the general added, had only one night\u2019s normal rest during five or six days of battle.TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST MOVIE THEATRES Reins Have Been Handed Over to Mr.Jacob Nicol, K.C.PROMOTION FOR CROWN PRINCE.(Associated Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM, March 27.\u2014 Emperor William has appointed the German Crown Prince chief of the guard grenadier regiment in recognition of the good work of his troops on the western front.SPECIAL RESERVES HELD FOR SPECIAL PURPOSE A determined move is under wa> to take action against the proprietors of the moving picture theatres that refused to obey the city order to close their doors on Sundays and to force them to observe the Sabbath Day.The move is being made by the Lord\u2019s Day Alliance, and the reins have been handed over to Mr.Jacob Nicol, K.C., with power to act as he sees fit to force the proprietors to close their doors on Sundays.Three of the four local moving picture theatres were open as usual last Sunday, the one exception being His Majesty\u2019s Theatre.From all accounts i .appears as though tha proprietors of the theatres are going to fight any move made to force them to close on Sundays.They have many arguments to offer relative to why they have a right to remain open.\u201cIf others go out in their motors on Sundays, keep their chauffeurs at work on Sundays, etc., why should they attempt to dictate to us relative to allowing all theatres to remain open on Sundays,\u201d said one of the proprietors in discussing the question yesterday.The Rev.G.W.Mingie, secretary of the Lord\u2019s Day Alliance for the Province of Quebec, and Dr.Rochester, secretary of the Ontario branch, stopped off here a few days ago on their way from Quebec, where they forced eleven theatres to close on Sundays, to look into the local situation.GERMAN PAPER TAKES GLOOMY VIEW After This Fight Germany Will Have to Settle Down as Self-Governing Nation.(Associated Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM, March 27.\u2014The Vorwaerts, under date of March 26, says: \u201cWhile the fighting at present I is inclining in Germany\u2019s favor, nev-I ertheless, after this fight we shall neither be in a position, nor shall we have the moral right to treat the en-I emy on the principle of \u2018hands on the throat and knees on the breast.\u2019 London Evening Papers Take Consolation at Fact That British Lines Are Still Intact.(Associated Press Despatch) I LONDON, March 27.\u2014The London evening papers take consolation in the | fact that the Germans thus far have I failed to break the British lines or force a wedge between the British and French armies, and in the news from France that gaps have been filled with local reserves, while the strategical reserves are intact for their own special purpose.\u201cThe necessity for a political understanding lies even behind the greatest military decision.Such an understanding, however, will be all the easier for us ^nce the poison clouds o£ war lies have disappeared.After this war the German people can only live as a peaceful, self-governing ration.\u201d
