ed greatly. The Germans kept up a
fire sofapid in character that at night
the whole sky was lighted by bursting
shells. On Sunday the enemy gained
perceptibly. ana on Monday they still
pressed on, but by that time the
French had brought UP large numbers
Of their famous quick-flring batteries,
and their deadly fire checked the Ger

Yesterday the enemy kept up his
efforts ga1nely, but by late afternoon
1t had clearly failed of its aim. There
were French batteries at various
points around Albert. but none within
a mile Of the town. At 10, minutes
past 8, German shells from their
heavy. guns began to fall in the town.
Here is an account Of the scene from
an eyewitness who was on a hill over
looking Albert:

coming away from Albert. but moth
ing happened until, at 10 minutes past
g. we-lfeard a deep boom, quite unlike
the noise made by an ordinary field

greater force and size, fell in the town.
We. thought. 1t must be an accident Of
mis-direction. and then, to our indig-
nation, the shells began to fall rapidly.
They came in bunches. There were
several batteries at work and their
aim was excellent. I only saw three
shells burst outside the town. The
place collapsed literally. like pack
Of cards that had been built up into

fresh went. Now 1t was the town hall,

MORMON HELD
ON CHARGE Of
WHITE SLAVERY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22. -
Thomas Major, 20, of Glasgow,
Scotland, said to be an official of
the Mormon church there, is In
Jail here on white slavery
charge.
1t is alleged that he brought
to Los Angeles from Salt Lake,
in violation of the Mann act,
Nellie Hawthorne, 81, formerly
employed in the household of
President Jos. Smith of the Nor
mon church.
Majors arrest was the result
of the personal request of Presi-
dent Smith, who telegraphed to
w. G. Jameson, former head of
the church here, to put the fed
oral authorities on the trail of
the girl and Major.
Miss Hawthorne will be held
as a witness against Major. Mean
while, she will be cared for at the
home of Jas. +. Robinson, head
of the Mormon church in South
ern California.
Robinson also will question Ma
jor as to his reported connection
with the church.
Secret Service Operative John
Bowen, who arrested Major at a
coy bungalow, which he declared
the pair occupied here, said that
Major had a wife and two chill
dren at Glasgow.
He met Miss Hawthorne, the
officer said, while she was living
at the Jos. Smith home at Salt
Lake.
