District Attorney
Says He Can Prove
Mrs. Carman Guilty
BY .4ttocinted Prcss

Mneola, n. Y. Oct. 2O.-Speed al
most unparalleled in a murder trial
marked the second days forenoon ses-
sion in the trial of Mrs. Florence
Conklin Carman, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the
office of DR.. Edwin Carman, the de-
fendant's husband, in Freeport, on
June 80. last. Mrs. Carman is bearing
up remarkably well under the strain
In two and a half hours the Dis
trict Attorney made his address to the
jury and a dozen witnesses testified for
the State. The star witnesses for the
prosecution, however, were yet to take
the stand, as District Attorney Smith
seemed to have decided to develop the
States case in chronological sequence.
Celia Coleman, the negro maid in
the Carman household, and two other
witnesses upon whom the State leans
heavily, were to take the stand, it was
believed, this afternoon. In his open
ing address, the district attorney said:
I'VE shall show that the shot that
killed Mrs. Bailey was fired by this
defendant. We shall show that she
passed through the kitchen out
through the side yard a moment be-
fore the shooting, and that she re-
turned through the kitchen immedi-
ately after it. We shall show fur
ther that the motive was jealousy and
suspicion of her husband"

French Are Now Firmly

Br Asrncintc1 Prcss

Paris. Oct. 10. $50 P. M.-Increas-
ing satisfaction was shown by the
people of Paris to-day on reading the
latest reports from the front These
indicate that the allies are continuing
their offensive operations which, in
the opinion of French observers, prom
Use the best results. The action of the
Belgian army and also a squadron of
British warships in repulsing an at
tack by the enemy is a subject of par
ticularly favorable comment
The public was equally If not more
gratified by the announcement of the
situation in Alsace. This was the first
time in some days that the war office
has indicated definitely the French po-
sitions. 1t is now seen that French
troops have almost reached the outlet
of the valleys leading to the plains of
the river Ill, which flows north through
Alsace and empties into the Rhine.
The French now consider that they
are firmly established in Alsace. Word
has been received also that the Ger
mans are hastily preparing new de-
fensive works around Strassburg.

Late War News
Allies Reported to
Have Retaken Ostend

BY Associated Press

London, Oct. 20, 1915 A. M.-The
plunging German attacks on the al
lied line near the Belgian coast be-
tween Nieuport and Dixmude, similar
tactics by the allies in France be-
tween Arras and Roye, where progress
is claimed, a continued allied assault
on Lille, still held by the Germans and
stubborn fighting in the vicinity of St.
Mihiel where for days the allies have
been trying to drive the Germans from
their southernmost lodgment, were
the acute points to-day in the sprawl
ing battle area of France and Bel
GUM.
The communications issued in be-
half of the allies last night enabled
Britons to draw for the first time in
ten days the approximate battle line
after crossing the Belgian frontier
and showed how the allies, during the
days of censorship, were throwing
their forces westward to meet the in
evitable German advance which fol-
lowed the taking of Ostend.
The fighting is now centering only
few miles southwest of that city and
the Belgian army, heretofore reported
as having repulsed the Germans on
the banks of the river User, is again
in the thick of the fight, being credited
with bending back the German line
as far as Roulers, Belgium, thirteen
miles northwest of Courtrai, which
point they are holding according to
the latest reports available when this
dispatch was written.
A dispatch dated Vmerely north of
France" says that the allies have re-
taken Ostend but this is not confirm
ed and is at variance with the German
contention that they have reached
the neighborhood of Dunkirk whose
inhabitants as we'll as those of Boulo-
gne are in a state of panic. If the
Belgians are holding Roulers it seems
Iincreditable that the Germans have
advanced so far as that would mean
the complete bending back of the al
lied left which rests on the coast west
lof Ostend.

Collins For Manager
Is Latest Report
sseeioI 10 Th, TeIrgyobh

New York, Oct. 20.-It was learned
from a semiofficial source yesterday
that Eddie Collins, second baseman
and leading batter of the Philadelphia
Athletics, will be playing manager of
the Yankees next season.
Connie Mack is said to be ready to
offer Collins to the Farrellites in eX-
change for an infielder or two. wad
of money and relief from a three
years contract. This move is believed
to be the first step in Mack's retrench-
ment plan. The Athletics. although
they were champions of the world,
showed a deficit for the season of 1914
and Mack is willing to part with Col
Inns to cut expenses for next year.
If the deal is consummated Collins
will play second base besides manag-
ing the Yanks.

Germany Not Fighting
For British Destruction

Amsterdam, via London, October 20,
7.45 A. M.-The Berlin Tageblatt in
an editorial appears to renounce the
view recently prevalent in Germany
that the destruction of England is the
main object of the present war.
Because Russia threatened u.s." 1t
says, "and because it's perpetual mem
ace is intolerable, the German people
went to war. Until we finish we must
not forget for a moment why we be-
gan. Every loss of power by England
means for Russia a further gain of
strength, influence and freedom of
movement. We all hope that Eng
lands position as the worlds dictator
will be shaken but 1t is ten-fold our
duty to fight against Russia becoming
the worlds dictator"

terths goes by sea. Our exports last
year were more than 5000, 100000 and
only 0 per cent Of them were carried In
American vessels. Estimating the cost of
freight and the banking at only per
cent. wo have been paying enough in such
charges to build a Panama canal every
two years.
Our freights to South America should
DO the cheapest of tho world. We take
large part OF the exports of that con-
tinent and the vessels which bring them
should carry back American goods at
low rates. We take about 10 per cent of
all the exports Of Brazil and the ships
that bring our coffee and rubber should
return filled with American goods. We
are taking vast quantities OF Argentine
meat; and from now on there will be q
fleet of chilled beef steamers coming
from Uruguay and Argentina to our At
lantlc ports. Those ships have to go
back and they should be loaded by the
American factories. We take a vast
quantity of nitrates from Chile, which
should give us cheap return freights TO
that country. The Bethlehem Steel COM
pany expects to carry northward a mill
lion tons of iron ore every year, and It's
ships should annually carry down the
west coast a million tons of American
goods in return Our tin should come d.
rect from Bolivia instead Of going around
by Europe as It has in the past; and the
cacao we get from Ecuador and Colom-
bia should give cheap rates for our man
ufaotures on their return. In fact, the
trade between the United States and
South America is at the edge of its be-

ginning, and II our exporters and the
government will do their part, II will be-
come one OF the great assets OF the in
dustrlal America OF the future.
But the trade Is only q part OF the
business South America Is a continent
on the edge Of It's development. It offers
possibilities for many millions in the de-
velopment Of It's mines. agriculture and
other natural resources. 1t offers end
less opportunities for capital and the
surplus American millions can be sent
down here and made to breed like Aus
tralian rabbits. As II Is now, Europe
has more than S. 900, 900 900 invested in the
various republics, and the most of this IL
owned by France. Germany, Great
Britain and italy. Some of It is in lands,
some in mines. some in factories,
some In railroads and great
deal in concessions OF various kinds. The
Germans own the street cars OF Santiago
and Valparaiso and they get enormous
dividends theretrom. The English have
about $500 100000 invested In Argentine
railroads and they have the. most OF the
$500, 1000 of foreign money that has been
planted In Peru. The Italians and the
French and the Germans have their banks
everywhere, and the British have big
financial institutions in every capital The
debts of the republics have been placed in
Europe, and there are millions OF dollars
worth Of more bonds to be sold. All this
is now open to the United States. Truly
It behooves our capitalists. our manu-
facturers and our exporters to awake TO
