WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS PRESS FAVORS CHANGt

British Newspapers Generally Endorse Action Placing Chamberlain In Cabinet.

LONDON, April li.-^-With few exceptions the British press supports the changes in the cabinet announced yeste.^.ay. i The Daily Mail, which is among the exceptions, says that in order not to ombarass the government, the NorthclifTe press lias refrained from criticism of many a matter that needs it, nnd it is protesting now against the political re-shuffle to give office to feeble politicians, like Mr, Chamberlain, •who is publicly saddled with responsibility for the Mesopotamia failure. "The Northcliffe press," it adds, "with every relative of the boys whose names are published in the casualty lists, had expected better things from

Mr. Lloyd George than indulgence in the old game of political juggling in such a tremendous hour."

On the other hand, the "Daily Telegraph says that the abilities oi Mr. Chamberlain Will assuredly prove of great value. The Daily Graphic, In recalling that IMr. Chamberlain in the house of commons a few weeks ago made an attack on a certain section of .the press, says: "He is now being subjected to a counter offensive."

Meet Severe Test.

Field Marshal Haig's troops yesterday had to meet one of the severest tests yet put upon them in withstanding a German foe to broaden out the salient created before the early impetus of the German drive in the Lys battle field was spent. They came through the ordeal with colors flying and completely stopped the German onrush.

From Givenchy to St. Venant, an even mile sector on the southerly side of the salient, German troops were hurled in masses on the British positions in an effort to break through to the southwest behind Bethune and compel the British to fall back from Givenchy and along the front southward toward Vimy ridge and Arras.

The defensive line held firm despite repeated desperate assaults which cost the Germans enormous losses, and last night the battle had died down to an artillery duel. Correspondents at the front declare thf British front is now more secure than it has been for day&

Expect Further Attacks.

Further efforts of an equally determined nature may be expected from the Germans, who are in too exposed a position from enfilading gunfire in heir

narrow salient to rest comfortably where they are. Tndeed, they resumed their attacks last night in the Mt. Kimmel region on the north si(l^ of the battle field southwest of Ypr^i. where they are finding the British ../mly installed on the dominating heights. These assaults, like the preceding ones, were failures.

On the Somme battle front the French have held to their gains of yesterday In the region of Vastel. where they drove the Germans farther from the line of the Paris-Amiens railway in the spirited local attack. German machine gun nests on the front of thi* attack were wiped out by the French during the night

Large Force Available.

WASHINGTON, April 19.--In explanation of the anomaly involved in dispatching Italian troops to the French war front, while French and British troops are now in Italy, Italian military experts pointed out here today that Italy has a large number of soldiers available for service if the can be properly armed, equipped and maintained. It is understood that the French and British departments arc prepared to supply the necessarj equipment and arms. It was also explained that owing to the mobility of the Italian infantry arm, which is to be employed on the west front, it would be easily possible to shuttle them back to Italy in time to aid in repelling an Austrian onslaught should a general advance against the Italian. lines develop.

Military considerations forbid the disclosure of the number of Italian troops to be used in France, but it is said that probably the Italian army will be as numerous as Gen. Pershing's forces, excluding engineers and other non-combatant American personnel.

U. OF N. MEN DISLOYAL.

Nebraska School Again Source of Complaint By Defense Council. LINCOLN, Neb., April 13.—Charges that persons connected with the University of Nebraska ha ve proved themselves to be un-American were made by the Nebraska state council of defense today in a communication addressed to the unversity's board of regents requesting the board to follow the example set by other university boards which have "taken action to purge themselves of such pernicious influences."

Members of the Patriotic league of the university have been rebuffed and sneered at by those who have failed to outwardly and whole-hearterly support their country in the most tremendous crisis of its history," says the communication.

SEIZES ENEMY PLANT.

Alien Owned Concern Taken Over By United States. WASHINGTON, April 19.—The gov* ernment has taken over the big plants of the Bosch Magneto Co. at Springfield, Mass., and Plalnfieldt N. J„ and directors will be named by Alien Property Custodian Palmer to conduct their operations. Investigation showed, it was announced today, that the company is entirely enemy-owned.

The move has been under contemplation for some time and a thorough in•vestigation has been made of the concern's affairs. While the company is capitalized at only $75,000, its real valuation, it is said, is about $7,000,000. The company's output, it was.announced, will be used largely by the airplane service, the navy and other banches of the govenment.

The commanding officer of an American regiment took charge of an infantry sub-sector and directed the action of his troops for one week, until the -emergency passed at that point. To this officer General Rawlingson, commanding the British army engaged in that sector, sent the following letter: "The army commander wisnes 10 record officially his appreciation of the excellent work your regiment has done in assisting the British army to resist the enemy's powerful offensive during the last ten days. I fully realize that it has been largely due to your assistance that the enemy has been checked and I rely on you to assist us still further during the few days which Vire still to come before I shall be able to relieve you in the line.

When the British general, M. J. Mullers, commanding cavalry division, reported his superior's thanks for the work of his command in beating off the enemy, he forwarded the following letter to the commander of the American engineer regiment: "As a U. S. engineering battalion was fighting with the first cavalry division

March 23 the army commander's congratulatory message applies to them equally with the units of the first cavalry division."

The reports of the gallant conduct of the Americans on the British front have caused General Pershing to send the following letter to the engineering commander: "Tha commander-in-chief has noted with great satisfaction the fine conduct of the officers and men of your regiment during the recent German offensive as testified by British army comnr.anders."
