DESCLAUX TO SERVE
SEVEN YEARS IN JAIL.
Ex-French Paymaster General Con
victed-Two Years for His Ac-
complete Wife of a German.

PARIS, March %. - Colonel Fran
co.'s Desclaux, ex-paymastcr general Of
the French army, charged with steal
ING military stores, was convicted yes
terdav and sentenced to seven years
solitary confinement and to military
degradation. It was ordered that his
name be removed from the list of the
Legion of Honor.
Nine Bechoff, the wife Of a German,
in whose house the stolen goods were
found, was also found guilty by the
court -martial and sentenced to two
years imprisonment.
A soldier named Verges. who was ac-
cused of aiding in the thefts, was SEN
fenced to one year in prison. The other
prisoners were declared not guilty
Charles Philippe, counsel for Nine
Bechoff, protested in the course of his
summing up against the imputations
that his client had organized IN France
SPY service, and that at her country
home she had installed cement founda-
tons for the emplacement Of German
cannon. These charges, he said. were
calumnious inventions. Nine. Bechoff s
father and uncle, he aycrred, fought for
France in 1870, and a number Of her
relations were doing the same today.
| NJ. Philippe also referred to Nine.
| Bechoff S work as n nurse and as the
directress of a hospital. Tears were
| dropping from the eyes of Nine. Bee
hoff as her counsel completed his ad-
dress.
Maitre Demange, counsel for Col.
Desclaux, made an eloquent plea for his
lcient. He declared that Dasclaux was
not a thief, and said that Dosclaux
had furnished to him in confidence the
names of officers who had turned over
the supplies and trophies to him. Des-
claux would not reveal these names, II.
Demange said, desiring to save his
fellow officers from scandal.
Desclaux, who was chief secretary to
Joseph Caillaux when NJ. Caillaux was
minister to France. was arrested IN
January, charged with stealing mill
ttary supplies and sending them to the
home of Nine. Bechoff, one Of the best
known dressmakers III Paris
On account of the conspicuous politi
cal connections of Desclaux and the
prominence of Nine Bechof the
Ieharges created sensation. and the
dispatches from Paris stated that h!2
lcrowds attended the trial

LONDON, March pa decisive vic
tory has been won by the Russians in the
great struggle along the Carpathian bar
riers. where the huge armies of the Car
are trying to smash their way through the
passes for the definite invasion of Hun
gary.
The victory was announced last night
in Petrograd by the general staff with an
unusual wealth of detail on these official
communications, which Is considered sig
nihcant of the importance of the result
achieved. The announcement reads:
In the Carpathians our offensive on
the front in the direction between Bart
field and Uzsok, is developing with com
pIete success in the region of the Lupkow
pass, where we carried by assault very
important Austrian position on the great
crest of the Beskio Mountains. Having
forced a wood, which was a perfect en-
/ tanglement of barbed wires and surround
ed by several layers Of trenches. our in
fantry pushed forward to the principal po-
sition of the enemy, the men hauling the
guns After bombarding it at a distance
of 600 miles they crossed deep bitches
fortified with palisades and carried the
/ enemy's works, which were strongly armed
and provided with internal defenses.
The Austrians made several furious
counter attacks in close rank formation,
but were dispersed and partly annihilated
1 by our fire and bayonet charges
\ Toward morning of March a the
enemy began a retreat on certain positions
During the day we took as prisoners about
100 officers and $500 men and, besides.
captured several dozens of machine guns .
h Private kilograms received from Buch-
Arrest by way of Rome announce that the
Russians have won a great victory on the
Il Austrian extreme right in Bukowina. and
that with strong new forces they have
driven the Austrians back to the Uzsok
pass Of the Carpathians.
1t Is thought here that the Russians by
bringing up new forces may have succeed

lTALYs CAUSE UNCERTAIN.
Believed in Rome That Country Will
Not Enter War

! = -. i
Rome, April 24-It is stated in high
official quarters here that it is be
coming increasingly improbable that
Italy will participate in the war, at
least for some time to come.
A prominent Italian statesman
said yesterday that the participation
Of Italy in the was seemed less likely
now than had been the case for some
time.
ITO enter the war Italy would
first be obliged to break off negotia-
lions with the central empires, which
are still being conducted at Vienna, y
he explained. "The government then
would have to find a plausible reason
for denouncing the treaty which
created the triple alliance. Even were
that done it is most likely that the
central empires under present con-
ditions would not consider such ac-
ton as cause for war.
"Italy must find another reason il
she desires to pick quarrel with
Austria. This might be in the form
of an ultimatum on account of the
gathering of Austrian troops along
the Italian frontier or on account
of the unfortunate position of Italian:
under Austrian rule.
at is easy to foresce, however
that Austria would not respond t.
any such provocative measure. In
deed, she would attempt to give ltal.
satisfaction in every possible way
desiring to put this country in tn
! position of the aggressor if ultimate
J. y Italy joins in the war"
Rome, April 24-Sealed order
have been sent by special couriers +
the commanders of all Italian squad
ronS. They are expected to sail a
soon as the couriers arrive. =
Sailors on all warships have bee
notified that hereafter they must no
mention in their letters the ports a
which they touch.
The foregoing dispatch Indicate
that the italian fleet will soon sail
if Italy has decided on war the wal
ships probably will go to the Oar
dancllcs to assist in operations there

MINISTER MURDERED
Wife in ustody-Ycil of Mystery
Surrounds Case

| Lcliaton, Ga, April 2l--Mrs. Mag.
gle Haskins was yesterday placed IN
the county jail at Douglas by Sheriff
! Dickcrson, charged with the killing
of her husband, the Rev. Allen Has
kins, for many years wel!-known
Baptist minister here.
Nv. Haslins was shot Wednesday
while sitting in his bed holding his
5 year old daughter in his arms and
his death was almost instantaneous.
Ncighbors hearing the report of the
shotgun rushed to the Haskins home,
found the dying man with his little
daughter bending over him. A physi-
clan was called. but Haskins was
dead when he arrived.
He had been shot with load of
buckshot that took effect in his left
shoulder just above the heart. The
shotgun was found in the Haskins
home, likewise the empty shell, and
no tracks we're found leading from
the house. Where Mrs. Haskins was
at the Ting of the killing is not
known. She WAS not found until
some time after ncighbers reached
the house.
1t is said that she has made no
statement relating to her arrest, fur
ther than saying she will make u coma
plctc statement of the affair at the
proper time. She has no relatives
here. She is 50 years Of age and has
resided here nearly all Of her life.
The case is shrorded in mystery,
and sensational developments are ex-
pected.
The verdict of the coroncr's jury
was noncommittal.
A neighbor named Paulk swore out
a warrant for Mrs. Iiaskins arrest,
charging murder.
