Clipping: ""No More Parcels Unless Soldiers Write For Them"" Page 2

Bapaume and Péronne lost, they had fought astride the Somme, contesting the ground step by step along the roads which converge towards Amiens. The Third Army, which ahd suffered less than the Fifth, held on firmly in the region of the Anere before Albert and its union with the fortified sector of Arras was not broken for all the violent attacks which the Germans launched March 28 on both banks of the Scarpe.

The Present Situation
  Thus,despite their tactical successes, the German armies have not been able to bring about the result which was the ambition of their leaders. Though it has been pushed back at the point of union, the Allied fron has not been broken, the separation of the armies has not been realized, and everywhere a wall of breasts and cannons is reared right-angled triangle and because of that, his position is dangerous, for while he is trying to smash the Enlish, he is exposed on his left flank to the blows of all the French Armies. That is why von Huntier has fortified himself between the Avre and the Oise and why, to the east of the latter river. the Crown Prince tried on April 8 to reduce the threatening Coucy-le-Chateau-Chauny salient.
  The possible German fears are all the more justified because, under the force of circumstances the unity of Allied command, so often called for, has finally been proclaimed. The soldiers of the West, under the direction of a single brain, which is that of General Foch, victor of Fère-Champenoise and of Flanders, are marching toward the same goal. Our confidence is firm that they will share the same decisive victories.

NEW ROSENTHAL CASE SETS GOTHAM AGOG

Murder of Harry the Yot Bears Close Resemblance to Former Mystery
[By Cable to THE STARS AND STRIPES.]
 NEW YOR, April 11.-New York is in the throes of another Rosenthal case.
  A flashy gambler named Harry Cohen had been telling tales to District Attorney Swann, and just after he had telephoned to make another appointment with the prosecutor, he was shot dead in the hallway of his apartment house.
  Nearly five years ago all America was ablaze with excitement when the gambler Herman Rosenthal was murdered to shut his mouth after he had carried his story of police blackmail to Districkt Attorney Whitman. a crime in which Police Lieutenant Becker and four gangster eventually paid death penalty.
  For the murder of Cohen, the grand jury has already indicted Morris Rothenberg, and that well-known Tenderloin, which has gradually joined the uptown march and may be now said to include the fast forties and the furious fifties, is yielding up a curious unsavory horde of petty thieves, cocaine and heroin victims, gamblers, gunmen and cadets, till the corridors of Police Headquarters and the Criminal Courts Building look quite like old times.
   Strange underworld lingo and nicknames fill the newspaper accounts as they did in the days when no breakfast was complete without morning story of the doings og Gyp the Blood, Dago Frank and Lefty louise. The murdered Cohen, for instance, was known as Harry the Yot.
