Prussian Upper House to Oust Lichnowsky AMSTERDAM. Sunday. March 24 A number of members of the Prussian upper house, according to the Lokal Anzeiger, have decided to propose the exclusion of Prince Lichnowsky, German ambassador in London at the beginning of the war, in accordance with the rule by which "any member who has shown himself unworthy can be excluded by a vote of his fellow members." The newspaper adds that the proposal is sure to have an overwhelming majority. A secret memorandum prepared by Prince Lichnowsky, in which he adversely criticised the German foreign policy, was published by a Stockholm newspaper recently. In it the prince blamed the German government starting the war. During a debate on the memorandum in the Reichstag last week, it was said that the prince had apologized and had resigned his honors. The prince declared the memorandum was written for the family archives and not for publication. Slot Machines Placed Under Police Ban ' The ktato law relative to slot machines will be enforced, said Chief of Police Gorraon, Monday. Slot machines are considered gambling devices aad as snch can not be operated. ThOMO making use of the slot mat-nine will have to discard them.

Greatest Bombardment in History of Yarfare Crumbled British Lines as Germans Attacked

BY PERRY ROBINSON (London Pally NeWs War Correspondent.) BRITISH HEADQUARTERS France Friday March 22. (Delayed.) The great battle has begun. After a winter of intense preparations and long suspense the Germans launched yes terday the blow which they hope will yield them that final victory in the west which is to give them the trt umphant peace promised to their peo ple. . - The weight with which the blow is being delivered may be judged from the fact that already nearly. forty Ger man divisions, including four divisions of guards, have been identified in the battle sectors on the British front. On one sector of the front no fewer than seventeen German divisions were in course of the day thrown .Against five British divisions. From a little below the Scarpa behind Arras to Oise, a distance of something like fifty miles the area of attack stretches' but the weight of it Is concentrated on ; specific sectors. Below the sector south of Croisilles and to the eastward where seventeen divisions were used on. a front of about .20,000 yards, the attack was much less heavy than that on the main Cambrai' front, where enormous numbers of troops were used. Fight en Reserve Line. - In all something like one-third of all the formations In the German army have been engaged along the fifty-mile battle front On considerable sections of the front the enemy penetrated our front line with the first attack. At some other points, where we held him completely throughout the day, we drew back last night to reserve lines to conform .to the retirement elsewhere. In general, the fighting today Is going on along that reserve line, and let me say at once that It bas been generally recognized that if the Germans attacked wih extreme weight of guns and mtn, they probably would succeed in breaking some sectors of our front line. It is true that the Germans have made some advance on a large part of the front attacked, but this was anticipated, and nowhere, I believe, is there any feeling that their Initial success has been greater than was a foregone conclusion. Therefore, we are satisfied with the situation and we know the enemy losses, as always when he attacks in such strength, have been very heavy. In places our machine guns were trained on his masses as they advanced and did terrible execution. At other points our field guns fired into his solid ranks at close range with open sights. No German Tanks Appear. So far, the German tanks of which so much has been heard have not yet appeared. Yesterday was a day of thick white mist which made it impossible to see more than 400 yards. Later in the day the mist partially lifted, but always it remained fairly, dense. It made the work of. the aeroplanes very difficult This was much to our disadvantage, but nevertheless our airmen worked throughout the day and in spite of the mist did valuable work. ; German airplanes were hardly in evidence except at some points where a few enemy ma chines attempted, flying very low, to use machine guns on men in our front line trenches. The bombardment which opened at 5:30 o'clock along the whole front was extremely heavy. On a large part of the front the Germans had an average or one gun every twelve or fifteen yards, besides a great number of trench mortars, which were used to cut wire and shell our forward posltions. ' The bombardment of our front line was probably as heavy as any seen in this war and certainly the depth over which shelling extended was quite unprecedented, not only were the forward trenches, support and reserve lines put under heavy fire, but the whole area behind was shelled, back even to the remote towns and villages and open country, which could only be reached by high velocity guns of large caliber. It was probably the greatest artillery concentration ever known. Its a trick we British and the French taught the Germans this smothelng of the whole front to be attacked with an obliterating lire, and we knew, of course, that it was to come. During the irst hour of the bombardment great numbers of gas shells were used on most parts of the line, both on the trenches and especially where the enemy supposed our battery positions to be. Some of our gunners worked their guns for four hours in gas masks and infantry at places had their masks on ror eight hours. British Fight Hard. From 5:30 oclock until nearly 10; oclock, a period of more than four hours, the terrifflc shelling continued without cessation, except on one small part pi the front where an Infantry movement apparently anticipated the general attack and there was a short lull soon after 7 oclock. On the front as a whole the attack was not delivered until 9:40 or 9:50 o'clock. In spite of the terrifflc hammering they had received and the fact that almost everywhere they had been compelled to wear their gas masks all the morning, our troops in the front line few as they were against the overwhelming numbers fought magnificently. At places they could do no more than wipe out a part of the first advancing Germans, only to be engulfed by later waves. On a large part of the front bowever, the attack was completely held, and the enemy losses were extremely heavy. This was particularly true about Lauverval chateau and the woods near Boursies, where our machine guns broke up and obliterated masses of Germans. Eastward from here by Flesquieres the enemy attack was a total failure and the penalty he paid was great s Beat Enemy 6 to 1. At one point near Flesquieres the Germans penetrated oud trenches at the first rush, but were thrown out again by counter attacks. Except for one small sector of a few hundred yards of trenches northwest of Rlbecourt our whole line on a wide are here was intact when last night fell. However, we withdrew during the darkness and without attack to conform to our line on the left, where the enormous weight of the attack had broken our front lines.

At another part 6t the linenamely, south of St. Quentln-no fewer than six German divisions were flung against one single British division, and absolutely beaten off. Here again our line fell back during the night reluctantly, because after-the experience of the day the tremendous slaughter of the enemy our men felt

equal to holding their - positions infefinitely against the whole German army. . -.j. Even where our front lines were utterly wiped out by the,-bombardment or overwhelmed by the subsequent attack, the spirit of our men was the same. When ordered - to fall back, small parties did so, fighting evry yard of the way. Much of the line saw fighting as heroic and as costly to the enemy as the famous fighting last year at Bouborn wood. Nine Divisions to 12,000 Yards. On the left of the attack .from near Cherisy to Noreuil the Germans threw nine divisions on a front of less than 12.000 yards. .They made an advance here averaging roundly 3,000 yards, but they suffered enormously. On the left part of this sector when the attack began, the Germans came swarming from their trenches out into No Man's Land and were simply wiped out. More than once they tried end each time No Man's, Land was swept clear of them. When finally our troops here fell back with the troops on their right they went on fighting and holding the advancing German waves in check. Our men fell back to the reserve line or third line of the front system and the enemy masses continued to come on. During the afternoon specially heavy attacks were delivered from the direction of Fontaine wood and along Sen sea, valley before Cherisy. Some of our reserves were brought In to strengthen our defensive lines and the enemy advance was completely checked with great loes. On the sector next below here the Germans had eight divisions on a front of about 10,000 yards. Our men were outnumbered at least four to one and our divisions had been holding the lines here for some time, while the German divisions were all brought in fresh for the attack. The Germans had boasted that the weight of their initial attack would carry them through this zone into open warfare beyond. As a matter of fact we have taken from prisoners today maps showing objectives of the various divisions and compared them with what these divisions have actually done. These objectives are ludicrous. New Uniforms for Paris Parade? I saw some bunches of prisoners who said that the whole German attacking force had been equipped with new uniforms for attack so they would need no refitting until they got to Paris or London or somewhere, but you would never have supposed that these prisoners uniforms to have been new a few days ago. and one spoke in bitter dejection of the prospect that had been held out to him of the easy break through" in the rear of gas attacks before which the British divisions were to have melted away. . Below here the whole line along Cambrai front was held, but below that COAL DEALERS AWAIT PRICES coal, which becomes, effective the first of April will be received - this week, Richmond coal dealers stated Monday. It is thou eh t that there will ha little change from' the winter prices, and ine nara coai price may be 30 cents less. Dealers said Monday that persons who eonaider lnvinar in t- annnlv - .. tj r r j of hard coal for next winter mis-hf find it advisable to wait until after the first of April, when the market had become settled. A number of inquiries have been received by the coal dealers concerning the probable price of coal, and more orders than is usual for this time of year have been received. Difficulty in obtaining some grades of coal has been reported, but there will be no difficulty in supplying the orders that may be received this summer. No Pocahontas coal will be received here, but West Virginia and Indiana coal may be obtained. Most of the dealers state that they have a fairsized stock of coal on hand at the present time. Murphy Gives Lecture on Home Gardening The second of tho ri w tures for home gardeners will h riv. en Monday night by City Gardner Murpny Monday evening at 7:15 o'clock at the high school auditorium. The lecture will be on the subject. "Growing Plants for Transplanting." and will be illustrated. The construction of hot beds, and the care and transplanting of the plants will be discussed. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals QUIGLEY Charles Qulgley, Infant eon of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Qulgley, 35 South Ninth street, died Sunday night Funeral service was held Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home.

Funeral arrangements will be announced later.' - ALLEN Richard Allen, Infant son

in the Epsey neighborhood, the enemy again succeeded in overruning the front lines. Here we have fallen back as on the north, but on the same terms and after inflicting heavy punishment on the enemy. The whole battle, of course, Is yet hardly begun, even though the Germans have already used such enormous number of troops, and we know they Intend to go on using them. ' ," '.. Urges Calm Judgment. Of such operations fraught with such grave issues as depend In a battle like this, it Is necessary to be very sane and temperate in attempting and judgment on the progress. Even though the Germans hare attacked in tremendous strength, as we knew they were oglng to. and have gained ground and taken prisoners and some field guns, the ground is certainly no more than what has been assumed they must take

in the first rush, and of prisoners and uns, I hope and believe, the same is true.' - - ' ' 't- . We on our part have taken prisoners also, and over the whole front of the attack our line, even if -withdrawn, holds firm any break through into open warfare. There is not the smallest sign" as yet of the Germans realizing their loudly proclaimed expectation of forcing open warfare on the first day. ; . British are Unshaken. The morale of our men is magnificetn. The forces which the enemy has so far encountered have been comparatively light and the enemy's losses have been vastly In exces of ours. The Germans of course will trumpet the news of a gigantic victory abroad, but I can assure jrou that today we are Just as good as before the attack began. The enemy shelling has been and is terrific, and in the first stages he certainly did succeed in pushing up his light mobile guns quickly behind his Infantry. He has left absolutely nothing undone which could help him prepare his way to victory. We have met it and are completely unshaken. Red Cross Notes A drive in the surgical dressings department was announced for this week at Red Cross headquarters Monday. An adequate supply of gauze has been received, and all women who have worked in gauze are asked to come to the workshop and help in making up the shortage in the output which was caused by the recent shortage in the gauze supply.

According to this report among the purchase were 500,000 woolen undervests and 5,000 sets of harness, which on delivery were pronounced of an inferior quality. He also bought 5,500,000 horses; hoes, which, owing to the fact that no patterns were supplied, were delivered in irregular sizes and were useless as a result The senator also is said to have placed two orders for blankets and to have 'paid double their value for them. Senator Humbert, who was vice president of the senate army committee, was arrested on Feb. 18 and held for trial on charges of treason.

GIANT AIRPLANE OF GERMANS IS DECLARED MYTH

Multi-Engined Air Fighter Is Still ' an Engineer's Problem. LONDON, March 25 (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) There have been many reports recently about mysterious multlple-englned German airplanes of gigantic size. In the past few days the German newspapers have been mentioning them guardedly under the. title "Rlesenflugzug" or giant-airplanes-type. According to aviation experts here, two types of these machines have thus far appeared on the western front ont a four-engined biplane and the other a slx-engined triplane. Both machines appear to be still in the experimental stage. Some time ago Hans Volmoller, one of the ploners of German aviation, was killed while testing one of these machines. - In the big biplanes, the engines are placed between the wings much In the way that the engines of the Ootha are placed, but tandum fashion, so that one engine on each side drives a pusher propeller behind the wings as in the Gotha. and the other engine on each side is placed immediately in front of it and drives a tractor propellor as in the Caproni and HandleyPage machines. The triplane type is similarly arranged, but with six engines Instead of four. The chief reason for the existence of these giant machines is to carry enormous bombs, probably two or three of about 1.000 pounds weight and several of 200 pounds each, or possibly one bomb of 2,000 or 2,500 pounds, which the Germans hope may wipe out a whole section of a town at one stroke. The general belief among English experts is that these giant airplanes will prove more vulnerable to attack than smaller machines, being easier to hit either from the ground or from pursuing craft Moreover, it Is pointed out, they are too large to be handled. DONATES USE OF TRACTOR. The Advance-Rumely tractor, which has been contributed for use In preparing the home gardens of the city, was ploughing on Southwest Second street Monday. It will go next to Southwest Third street to plow the ground In that neighborhood. The work of the tractor is giving great satisfaction.
