London, April 17.--1It be one of the most striking pictures of this war, the rout of the Germans at Lagnicourt, jafter. what they be- lieved to have been a successful at- tack.

The Germans endeavored all next day to shoot the board down, but they did not succeed. ,That night tae irish planted a second board, reading: "Sorry we made a mistake Should" have been eleven thousand Huns instead of nine." The Irishmen fought with great bravery just undér the brow of the "Pimple" on Vimy Ridge, and were up against a steady stream of ma- chine gun fire from the "Pimple" until the Canadians wiped it off the face of the earth ® 'We knew the Canadians would clear them out, so we didn't woiry," said a smiling Irishman to-day., RIGOROUSLY NEUTRAL Carranza's Statement to New Mexi- can Congress, Mexico City, April 17.--General Carranza in his address to the new congress declared that Mexico would maintain a strict and rigorous neu- trality in the world war.
