"grudge" battle. and 1t was carried
out along those lines. Weinert gave
the veteran a terrific lacing. and in
the ninth round floored him with

SENDS PARENTS To JAIL
Children Said to Have Been HUN
Up and Flogged into Jnsen.

Easton. Par Jan. 11.--CharaP;l
With Icruelty to their children, Nir.
and Mrs. Jesse Cortright of Marion,
Creek, were committed to the county
jail Thursday night in default Of
$1,000 hail each. The complaint VAS
made by H. B. Cortright, of Bclyi-
dcre, n. y, grandfather Of lhe chill
dre,l.
investigations are said to have led
to -he discovery that the two chil-
lren, Elizabeth aged 7, and Russell,
aged ) were strung up blythe thurnbs
by Mrs.. Cortright and whipped in,
to insensibility. Another form Of
punishment was to beat the children
on the toes with sticks. To be better
able to do this, the leather was cut
from the front Of The chiidreGs
shoes.
Mrs. Cortright is the stepmothe.
of the children, and according tt
charges Of the public officials had
them 60 terrorized that when anyone
questioned them the children told
that they we're punished for disohcd-
iencc and for stealing from other
children. When assured that they
would not oe punished again, the emil
dren declared that they had NOT don.
these things, but had beer driiir1
into the answers by their sleG-
mother.
The elder Cqttright took the chii.;
dren 20 his home after the parents
had been brougho.to the Easter jail.
He s5id he had repeatedly asked hs
son to allow him to take charge Of
the children, but the latter refused.
Recently when he offered to send
physician to the house to examine
the children, Mrs. Cortright amour
ced that she would not permit the
doctor TO enter.
The children were, in p;tifuI cmaci.

BATTLE CONTINUES
ALONG THE A|SNE
Germans Bring Up More
Troops to Regain Lost
Trenches
FIGHT DAY AND NIGHT
X aiser's Attacks Fail to Dislodge'
French From Advanced Positions
1000 Teutons Killed.

Paris Jan. 1.-The fighting along
the Aisne, and especially in the vlcln-
:ity of Scissors, is rapidly taking or
the proportions of a genera! battle
In an endeavor to regain their los
trenches the Germans are bringing
LED additional, troops from the real
and are also bringing them into ac-
Sioll
The fact that scissors has beer
used as British headquarters Is be-
lieved here to be the reason fot Ih''
bombardment now in progress.
The Germans are also reported to
be active in the Chamrag:e region
and IN the Argonne. DI; their move
ments here are believed to be in the
nature Of attempts to Zeal nit tn"
French lines for IL wea;i spot.
1t is unofficially stated that there
has been no actual change in the sit
uation in A,sace. The fresh !iccpa
are slowly getting into action, baI I,
combination of snow, rain and mis-
has interfered with rapid move
ments. Both sides have lost very
heavily and neither has up to the
present time gained any advantages.
The Germans continue their efforts
to regain their lost ground on the
plateau Of Vregney to the north Of
SCISSORS but their attacks so tta,'
have been futile
Attempts to drive the French back
from thcr advanced positions in
front of Pelthes (on the Aisne north
east of Rheimsl and to the north Of
La Ferte de Beauseiour were re-
pulsed. The Germans have surrender
cd field fort to the north of La
Ferte de Beausejolr. in Champagne
following the capture by the French
ofia ling of trenches, from which the
Germans were routed in a violent
engagement to the west Of the fort.
: The Echo dc Paris states that Cen
eral Won Heringen. commanding the
German center, lost 1000 in killed
wounded and prisoners in the battle
Of Perthes on Friday alone. Since
then the German counter attacks
have been equally furious. and it is
believed their losses by this time
must have reached double that num-
her.
