WAR FLAMES BLAZING UP NEAR_YPRES Artillery and Infantry of Aus- tralia and Portugal Active A from the) MANY PRISONERS TAKEN London, March 1 creased raid- ing and artillery activity in the Ypres sector-and on the front north of Armentieres is reported in the offi- cial statement from the war office to- night,. Australian troops carried out successful raids south of Ypres and captured a number cf prisoners. Near Armentieres Portuguese troops drove | back an enemy attack. (By Associated Press.) One million tons of Dutch shipping, which will be used in sending supplies to the armies of the allies or in trans- porting troops to the war zones, will be taken over by the United States and Great Britain next Monday, thus relieving in great measure a dire need | of the countries at war with the Teu-| tonic allies. Holland’s hesitancy to come into an agreement with the United States and Great Britain which would permit of the use of ships flying her flag, many of which are now lying in American and allied ports, no longer is to be tolerated, and next Monday, whether she be. willing or not, the vessels will he taken over under the provisions of international law and put into uses which are highly essential to the suc- cess of the allied cause. Holland to Be Compensated. ‘Holland yet has time to acquiesce in the demands of the United States and, Great Britain and sanction the use of her sh{pping, but her plea of Germany’s menace no longer will avail as there is to be no modification in the decision of the United States and the allies to seize all Dutch vessels 4n their respective ports throughout the world and use them.

In addition the ex- port of foodstuffs to Holland will be permitted and coal by which Holland may resume her interrupted trade with her colonies will be guaranteed. Sporadic Warfare On the major battlefronts the oper- ations continue, as for weeks past, mainly of artillery duels, trench raids jand intensive aerial activity by all the opposing forces. In the opera- tions on land the American troops continue to locate and blow to pieces with their artillery gas projectors in the Toul region, which the Germans recently have been attempting to set up in large numbers in preparation, it is believed, for a gas attack on a huge scale. American acrial observ- ers have been doing splendid work spotting out the gas tubes and re- porting their whereabouts to the ar- lillery. Batteries Silenced ‘Not alone are the gas throwing im- plements coming in for attention by the American gunners, but German batteries, trenches, wire entangle- ments and points of military concen- tration and munition dumps also are being given practical demonstrati of the accuracy of aim of the men be- hind the American guns. Additional batteries have been silenced by them, , trenches and wire entanglements have been torn to pieces and ammunition dumps blown up. With the return of good weather myriads of airmen daily are to be seen over the battle lines | dropping bombs or in aerial combat. The British, French and German air services all are claiming numerous victories for their aviators in fights in the air. During the first 10 da: March alone British airmen are cred ited with accounting for 79 German | Planes, while the German war office | asser that on Wednesday 17 enem machines and three captive balloons | were destroyed by German airmen| along the Franco-Belgian front. Siberia Still Doubtful The situation in Russia and Siberia | apparently is still far from being set- jtled. Although the Germans and Au tro-Hungarians still control territo from Finland to Odessa on the Blac sea, it is, not certain that the Rus- |sians will not again take up arn against them. The Bolsheviki for- eign minister, Trotzky, has asserted he will oppose the ratification of the peace treaty with Germany and advo- cate the reorganization of the arm | for the defense of Ru Meanwhile influential newspapers in Germany al- MOTOR GAR DIVISION READY FOR FRANCE Five Companies Trained at Camp Johnston to Drive Offi- cers’ Machines at the Front ing the first Motor Car Division of the, nia, already has been reoccupied by the theory of tne internal combustion engine and automoblie principles in | particular, The men were thoroughly | grounded in theory, and given a com- plete practical course in the highly important matter of repairs. were familiarized with motor car parts and received their final course of driv- ing instructions with a fleet of 27! vodge Brothers cars, hundreds of ; Which are in the government service Upon the completion of all the vari ous courses laid out, the men were awarded diplomas.

Another case of “frightfuln German submarine commande by is chronicled in a report of an attempt to send the British hospital ship. Guil- ford Castle, with 450 sick or wounded soldiers on board, to the bottom. Not- withstanding the plain markin, ot! the hospital ship, two torpedoes were launched against it. One of the mis- sles struck the vessel's bow, badly damaging it, but she was able to make port with difficulty.

Ap- nleton and Joshua Butterworth, mem- bers of the British labor mission now in this country. In pledging loyalty to the United States and the allies the labor men expressed their “earnest and sincere determination to continue with our whole efforts until the great war is brought to a conclusion which will forever safeguard democracy for all people.” It also was asserted that “there must be no turning back” and that “organized trades union movement of the United States is inherently loyal to the national aspirations for a vic: torlous war against autocracy.” Mr, Appleton, after describing meas- ures which the British government had adopted to protect working men, against the first wall available and his career ended with a service bullet.” GEN.

We are this week in receipt of advice from the Buick factory stating that Washington has again called on them for help, this time with an order for an unheard of number of Liberty Motors. As a result Buick production will be crippled far beyond the first belief. The Buick Six, being the leading model, will be retained, but there will be no more four-cylin- der cars this spring. We are fortunate in having a very limited number of these last models on hand. They will not last long, and those lucky enough to buy will have'to place an order at once. Bear this in mind, the Buick Four, price of $795, is LAST YEAR’S PRICE. “EVERYBODY KNOWS VALVE N-HEAD, MEANS BUICK” ‘CORWIN MOTOR co. | BISMARCK, N. D. (All prices f. 0. b. Detroit.) a> a B.
