MONDAY.

The allied fleet, cooperating with
vast forces landed on the Gallipoli
peninsula, have begun another bonn
bardment of the Dardanelles. Official
dispatches from London say that the
allies attacks are progressing.
What is styled the greatest battle
of the war is raging along the User,
where the Germans have launched a
drive to gain the channel towns. Vast
numbers of German troops have made
some gains in that section, says the
German statement, while the allies
claim that the Teuton attacks have
been halted and that they now are on
the defensive.
The German converted cruiser, the
Kronprinz Wilhelm, has interned for
the war. The commander of the vessel
lotifed the United States that the
vessel had made her last trip until
the close of hostilities. She will be
berthed at the Norfolk navy yard.

SATuRpAY.

A series of German successes along
the western front is announced in the
official report from Berlin. 1t is said
attempts of the allies to recapture the
ground lost in Belgium have failed
and that French and British attacks
broke down under the German fire.
The French war Office report gives
a different version of the situation in
Belgium. From this statement 1t
would appear that the German ad-
vance had been halted. The allies have
recaptured part of the lost ground, 1t
is said, and are well organized and
fighting under good conditions.
It is stated in London that the Ger
mans have massed 100000 troops in
the vicinity of Ypres for new drive
to win Calais. The British have been
reinforced and a desperate battle is
raging along a curbed front about
eleven miles long.
Quiet reign along the Polish front.
In the Carpathians the fighting con-
tinues under great difficulties, owing

SUNDAY.

The German advance north oi
Ypres seems to have been definitely
checked, some of the conquered
ground having been recaptured by the
allies, although the battle still con
tinues without abatement.
Berlin reports slight additional
gains at certain points in the Ypres
fighting and announces the capture OF
the villages of st. Julien, three miles
northeast OF Ypres, and Kersselare,
which is about four miles In the same
direction from Ypres.
Paris says that a general check has
been administered to the enemy's ad-
vance in Flanders, and that the allied
troops having resumed the offensive
are pushing the German forces grad
ually back. Otherwise, the French war
office announces the capture Of Ger.
man trench in the Argonne and artil-
lery engagements on the heights Of
the Meuse.
Vienna reports the capture Of an
important height near Kosziowa, in
the Carpathians, and the taking of
many prisoners.

Crimson clover fields are looking bad
for this season of the year; the hard win

out much of this important crop and
the farmers will miss the shortening OF
this crop more than any other of the
crops grown. Fred Short, on the Harry

THAW Gets JURY
TRIAL ON SANITY
Court Grants Application Made
by Prisoner.
TRIAL SET FOR MAY II

Fine News For Mother" He Says
When He Hears Decision of the
Judge.
The question OF the sanity of Harry
Kendall Thaw will be determined by
q jury.
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, in
a decision handed down in New York
granted the application for trial
made by Thaw's attorneys on writ OF
habeas corpus.
Justice Hendrick set the date OF
the sanity trial for May II.
This trial will be with a view OF
aiding the court in deciding later as to
whether the prisoner should be set at
large or should be taken from the
Tombs back to the State Asylum for
the Criminal Insane at Matteawan,
from which he once escaped.
Thaw's lawyers declared, however,
that the decision of the court assured
Thaw his freedom, and they express
ed no doubt of the jury's decision.
1ldW was III court wien JuSLAOo
Hendrick announced his opinion. His
face at once lighted up with pleasure
His attorneys, friends and others in
the court room rushed to congratulate
him, and he was kept busy for nearly
half an hour shaking hands before he
was taken back to the Tombs.
1T will be good news to my moth
er," he told the newspaper men;
that's all care to say for publica'
ton"
The moot question which Justice
Hendrick had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant jury
trial. He held, after a study of the au'
thorities, that he did have such power
and has decided to exercise it. He
pointed out in the decision that the
jury was called in Ito aid the court
by their advice" and that the finding
of the jury would not be binding il
the court was satisfied that it was moi
in accordance with the evidence and
with justice. The court, he said, could
disregard the jury's verdict and rem
der his own decision.

new drive through Belgium have re-
taken the towns of Langemarck,
