London, April 10.-The great Ger

Bethincourt, lying approximately
ten miles northwest of the city of
Verdun, has been held by the French
in the face of terrific German attacks
for many days, while the Teuton ad
vance continued both east and west Of
the town, leaving that stronghold as
a serious flanking menace to the Ger
mans advancing around Malancourt
and west of Mort Homme. The dan
ger of a flanking attack by the French
was a constant check on the German
drive, while the French on the other
hand faced a cross fire which threat

From The Daily Silver State

In an old geography, printed in 1872. appears the following:
California is a wild and almost unknown land. Throughout the
year it is covered with dense fogs, damp and uhealthful. In the
interior are volcanoes and vast bodies of shifting sands which
sometimes shoot columns to great heights. This would seem near
y incredible were it not for the well authenticate accounts of
travellers"

Socialist Charged With Leading Demonstrations Against Kaiser

Berlin, June 28.-The trial of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the socialist leader, began today before a court-martial which will decide whether he was guilty of attempted treason in time of war in participating in a May Day peace demonstration in Berlin.

He has been accused not only of taking part in but of arranging the demonstration at which it is .llleged cries of down with the war!' and down with the Kaiser!'' were raised by the demonstrators. A report on his arrest, made to the Reichstag, contained these charges and detailed the circumstances of the incident, as- serted that he resisted the police but finally was knocked down and over- powered

 British Headquarters in France, Tuesday, June 27 via London, June 28, 12:4O D. m.-British guns contin- ued today the bombardment over a broad front which was begun yester- day.

vised the jury TO probe deep into in
dications of bribery said to have been
practiced at the last November cleo
ton in Pikv.co. Judge Butler made
the unrestricted statement from the
bench that thousands of dollars had
been spent in the election referred to-
and that in some precincts five, ten fif-
teen and even twenty dollars each had
been paid for votes. He charged that
the evidence was too glazing to be
overlooked, and he has expressed his
intention Of doing what he can as the
administrator of the law, and without
any spirit Of antagonism. to bring the
briber to justice as we'll as the bribed
Each will have equal chance under the
plan adopted to turn states evidence
against the other and thereby obtain
Immunity.
Judge Butler gave arwarning to cor
ruptionists for the future and said that
legislation is now pending which seeks
TO straighten the weak points in the
statute law governing the taking OF
evidence in bribery trials, and he fur
Their said that he felt free to discharge
his full duty in this respect and that
everyone might look for him to do IT
Under present corrupt conditions, he
zaid, there was no use for poor mar
to ask for office, no matter how honest
he may be.
