STRONG French POSITION
IN THE ARCONNE FOREST
CAPTURED, Says berlin

Berlin. Dec. BY Wireless to Lon
don, 8 P. M.-The German official
statement issued to-day claims the cap
ture of strong French position in the
Argonne forest by Emperor William IS
own regiment. The text of the com
munication reads:
Gin the western theatre of the war
the enemy made insignificant advances
which were checked. In the forest of
Argonne strong point of support of
the enemy was taken by the Wurttem-
berg infantry regiment number 120,
His Majesty the Kaiser s own regiment.
On this occasion two officers and about
800 of the enemy's troops were made
prisoners.
"There is no news from Eastern
Prussia. In Northern Poland the bat
ties are taking their normal course.
In Southern Poland the enemy's attacks
were repulsed.
"The report circulated in the for
eign press that the $4,000 prisoners
taken by us at Kutno are now included
in 10000 Russian prisoners reported
by us previously, is untrue.
In the battles at Wloclawek, Hut
no, Lodz and Lowicz, the eastern army
has taken between November IL and
December l over $4,000 unwounded
Russian prisoners.

late War news SUMMARY

Heavy fighting has been resumed in
the region of the Argonne forest, TO-
ward the eastern end of the battle line
in France, and, although to-day's
French and German official communica-
tions disagree as to the outcome, it was
apparent that the conflict is marked
with considerable violence. The Ger
man Emperor's own regiment was Sc
lected to make an assault ON a strong
French position, which the Berlin state
nent says was won. The French
statement, in referring to what appar-
emily was the same engagement, says
that the German attack was repulsed
and that progress was made by the al
lied troops.
In Belgium infantry fighting has been
resumed, although it is not clear wheth-
er the Germans have begun another gen-
eral movement. The French War Of
flee reports that German attacks on en-
trenchments were beaten back and that
the Germans suffered heavily in the ar
tillery duel.
At other points in the line fighting
has become more spirited than had been
the acse for some time. According to
the French statement, ground has been
won by the allies In certain sections, in
cluding the occupation of German
trenches.
Berlin still insists that affairs In the
east are progressing to its satisfaction,
although no new details of the move
ment are given. It is stated that In
the fighting in Russian Poland between
November II and December 1, $4,000
Russians were captured unwounded.
The situation in Servia is reported
at Sofia, Bulgaria, to be critical one
for the home army, which is seeking to

Revivaist, in Hour and Half of Rapid

"There is no more dangerous man to-

denunciation of the doctrine of a second
chance in the hereafter, and of the doe
trine's originator. "We need to be
alarmed over the devil-inspired teach
ings of Pastor Russell He has enough
truth mixed with his hes to deceive
people of superficial thinking, and that
is why his beliefs are becoming so
widespread. The explanation he tries
to advance about the story of Lazarus
is one that only an idiot could have
thought Of Those of you who have
read that explanation can appreciate

He'll was Dir. Slough s theme, and
he preached about hell increasingly for
an hour and a-half, introducing argu-
ment after argument in justification of
his belief in a place of the most hor-
rible eternal torment. His speech came
more rapidly than usual, if that were
possible, and some of his sentences he
strung out clause after clause for several
minutes with scarcely a breathing in
terval from beginning to end.
Separation of Good and Bad
He began his sermon by saying that
he believed the story of Lazarus to be
not parable but piece of biography

Germans Lose Barges on vistuIa

London, Dec. 2, S.47 A. M.-The Pc
trograd correspondent of the "Post Z"
sends the following:
Special significance attaches to the
capture by the Russians of ammunition
barges on the Vistula near Plock, mas
much as the Germans are relying main
ly on the Vistula for securing easy com
munication to their armies in Poland.
Lavish supplies of ammunition
have been kept up by barges which,
starting from. Danzig, Elbing, Graudenz,
Thorn and other points easily reached
by the German railways, have brought
supplies to the heart of the German po,
sitions in Poland. The capture of the
barges is thus step in cutting com.
munication.
'fThe surrounded German corps are
the Twentieth and the guard corps.'

SCHWAB and BRYAN MEET
TO Discuss BUILDING OF
SUBMARINESFOR THE WAR

Washington, Dec. 2.-Secretary Bry-
an to-day invited Charles NJ. Schwab.
president of the Bethlehem Steel Com.
pany, to the State Department and
gave him the views of the American
government on the building of subma-
rlnes in this country for European bel
llgerents. Mr.. Bryan declined to dis
close what was the position of the
American government. He declared
the question was not yet concluded, but
was 'under consideration.
Mr.. Schwab, accompanied by two as
sistants, also refused to. discuss their
mission. "Mr. Schwab came,'' Mr..
Bryan said, Sin response to our in.
quiry concerning the manufacture in
this country of ships or materials for
shipbuilding."
Recent reports that the Bethlehem
Steel Company had contracted to build
submarines, which would be shipped in
sections, have been variously denied
and partially confirmed The visit of
Mr.. Schwab, however, revealed that
the State Department had taken official
cognizance of the subject, although
Secretary Bryan announced yesterday
that government agents, after thor
ough investigation, had been unable to
learn that any work was being done
anywhere in this country in the con
struction of foreign warships or parts
thereof.
1t was believed, however, that the
State Department desired to consult
with the steel company officials so there
would be no violations of neutrality if
contracts were taken. While the ex
port of munitions of war, such as guns
shells or ammunition, is not prohibited
by the neutrality laws, the fitting oui
of warships or any armed expedition
from American soil would be considered
O violation.

ALIENISTS TAKE
STAND TO-DAY
Mother Testifies the Boy Stunned AS
sociates and Refused to Work-He
Bought Only Candy When He Was
Sent to Store for Groceries

That Edward G. Smith, charged with
the murder of his grandfather, John
E. Bush, at Inglenook December II,
last, whose mental condition now is the
subject of special inquiry by a court
jury before Judge McCarrell, is an
idiot, subject to fits and brainstorms,
ignorant, unintelligent, bashful, and a
fit person for an institution for the in.
sane, were the declarations of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Smith, the parents of the
accused, made in court this morning.
The parents were the only witnesses
called at the morning session to-day,
the examination of each taking exactly
an hour and half. Alienists were
called to the stand this afternoon aft
er which it was expected the other
side would be opened. 1t is not likely
that the jury will make a decision be-
fore Friday.
Mrs. Smith said her son, by shun-
ming boy and girl friends at the Ingle-
nook cottage, had frequently caused
her embarrassment.
"He refused to work and when he
did do little chores for us, it was be-
cause we drove him to it, the mother
began. Frequently sent him to the
store for groceries and he came back
with nothing but candy. Later we were
obliged to give him note telling the
grocer what things we wanted.
The Mothers Testimony
"Ever since this terrible thing has
| happened he has not once asked for
me. He has Stunned me and refused
to talk to me when | went to the pris-
on to see him.
On a visit to her son in the prison
last March, more than three months
after the alleged crime, Mrs. Smith
said to-day the youth would not speak
to her. Although she kissed his cheek
as she greeted him and before she de-
parted, the mother said he remained
unmoved and stared out the window
She called on him last on Monday,
she said.
"I asked him if he knew me and he
said, 'yes. Mr.. Smith then spoke up
and told the boy that I was his moth
er To that he said oh, no. 1t IS Ms.
Smith, your wife. -
After declaring that her son, while
in the Inglenook cottage, allowed pota-
toes to cook for several days or until
they would get black, before he would
eat them, the mother added:
"That boy has not been right since
birth, but | always objected to his BE-
ing placed in an institution for the N.

away if it had become known what
my father (the murdered many had
told me about him years ago.

The husband and father followed
Mrs. Smith to the witness stand. Whea
he said he is the father of the prisoner
