Germans Advance Into France Made
 With Great Speed

London, Sept. 14-A high official just returned from the north region of France, says a despatch to Reuters Telegram Company from Paris, gives details of the advance of the Germans through France before they were re- pulsed
 He says the enemy passed through Tourcoing, Roubaix, Lille, Douai, Ar ras and Anniens with extreme rapi dity and met with little resistance.
 Everywhere the Germans appealed to, the civil authorities, promising to respect the lives of the inhabitants if no act of hostility was consmitted against their soldiers. They arrived in Lille on September 2 and left on the fifth.
 The department of Aesnes suffered heavily especially in the north, vio- lent engagements occurring at Hir = son, Wassigny, Bohain ard Vervins Guise was entirely devastated after three separate attacks during which 12,O00 shells fell into the town St. Quentin suffered heavily and Laon also resisted and delayed the enemy's advance to Soissons.

dow, according to the evidence gath
cred by coroner's jury which inves-
tieated the case yesterday at one
O'Clock
Deputy Coroner Or. John S. Wood
conducted the investigation. Mrs.
Esther Lewis, mother of the little boy,
was the first witness called She tes-
titled that she and her little son were
walking along Central avenue when
the little boy exclaimed. Look Moth
er, there is fire" She looked and
saw the fire trucks coming north on
Central avenue and they stood ana
watched the trucks. She realized
that the tire from one of the trucks
had come along on the walk and did
some injury before she knew that her
boy had been struck She said when
she looked around and saw her boy
on the ground was the first she knew
that he had been struck.
She told of how she had then asked
some man to pick the boy up and
take him to drug store, but that
the man feared the boys bones might
be badly broken and that he had bet
ter not be picked up until physicians
Lad been summoned. However, a mo
ment later he was picked up and car
ried to the drug store and later to
the hospital, where he died.
Physicians testified as to the in
juries the boy had received. The mat
ter Of consequence determined by the
coroner's jury was that the boy had
been struck direct from the tire, in
stead of having been injured by the
shattered glass from the Strauss win
dow, into which the tire later crashed.
The mother testified that the glass
rcver touched her boy, and that she
was some 20 feet or more south On
Central avenue from the place where
the glass was broken. The body was
shipped by Gross yesterday afternoon.
