said she was Frances Bataglio, were
locked up on white slavery charges.

her huddled in a closet and in a state
OF hysteria last night.
Father died six weeks ago and left
me an orphan" said the girl. Il came
to New York to look for work. This
man, Ferrari, met me ait the ferry. He
was well dressed and told me he
would get me work. Instead, he took
me To that house and they took away
my clothes. He beat me frightfully

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE fighting along

the proportions of general battle.
In an endeavor to regain their lost
trenches the Germans are bringing up
additional troops from the rear and
are also bringing into action addi-
tional artillery. The fact that Sois-

reason for the bombardment now in

French lines for a weak spot. II IL
