TEIPER MURDER TRIAL
JURY ABOUT COMPLETE
Sister of Accused Buffalo Man May
Testify by Deposition.
(By the International New. service.)

CBy the International News service.)
Buffalo, Nov. 1&-when the panel of
jurors called for the trial of John Edward
Teiper, who is charged with first degree
murder, for the killing Of his mother,
was exhausted yesterday the trial was
adjourned until Monday morning at 10
o'clock. There were nine jurymen in the
box when adjournment was taken. The
box probably will be filled Monday, when
about $50 talesmen will be available.
Justice Charles B. Wheeler yesterday
made formal announcement that Irving F.
Cragin. court stenographer, would be ap-
pointed referee to take the testimony of
Grace J. Teiper, sister Of the defendant,
at her Richmond avenue home, II her
health is not such that she may attend
the trial in person when her testimony Is
wanted. This will create q precedent in
New York State criminal practice, II is
said. Miss Teiper will be called by the
people as the only eyewitness of the
tragedy on the lonely Orchard Park road.
There Is evidence that John Edward
Teiper will take the witness stand in his
own behalf. Questions asked prospective
jurors indicate that.
When court closed last night there had
been 10 men examined. The prosecution
had used up eleven Of its thirty peremp-
tory challenges and. the defense had used
five.

new WORKERS HOAXED

Masqueradins as Aviator, Visitor

SPECIAL 70 Ths Wa.hinxtoa H.r.ld.

SPECIAL TO Ths Washington Herald.
New York, Nov. 18-This canny city
is laughing over the remarkable adven-
lures Of man pretending to be Victor
Carlstrom. the aviator, who flew here
from Chicago, who hoaxed hotels. hos
pitals and busines men and had a high
time for five days without spending
cent.
When a man wearing a chauffepr's cap
and CARRYING a wicker suitcase registered
at the Manhattan Hotel in the name of
the aviator he got one OF the best rooms
in the house and his rapid-fire orders
for drinks were filled expeditiousiy. a
hotel clerk who had seen Carlstrom in
the movies thought this was the same
man.
From the hotel the 'tflier'' called up
Gouverneur Hospital and told the super
intendent he had been hurt In q fall at
Buffalo while getting out Of an aero
plane. Carlstrom' professed to be in
great pain. The physicians called q taxi
cab and conveyed him to st. Luke's.
AT the hospital the aviator got the best
reporters were taking down interviews
with him. which described Carlstrom's in
juries sympathetically.
Meanwhile the New York newspaper
which managed the Chicago-New York
flight had discovered the real Caristrom
was still In Buffalo. Because nothing ex-
cept intoxication seemed to all their
patient" and he had no funds. the hos
pital authorities asked him to leave. which
he did-with his bill unpaid.
Back to the Manhattan went the poor
aviator" where he said he had spent
all his money at the hospital and so
got more credit.
"Carlstrom" probably still is doing well
somewhere about town. He has to keep
a bit quiet and give no more newspaper
interviews. for the real Carlstrom has ar
rived and is anxious to meet the man
with the wicker suitcase.

dead were thrown out and the position turned around for possible counter attack.
 The dead Germans were buried in their own trenches. 1 have heard that O,0O0 to 25,000 bodies were thus dis posed of, while bodies a. the bottom of cave-ins, under destroyed bomb shelters and in like places were loft in the graves of their choosing.
 Brand new cemeteries were made for the French who fell. The new graves are curious. There being no time to place crosses or head stones to mark the graves, wine bottle, with name and matriculation number corked inside, is stuck neck down in the middle of each new mound. In cases where Identification was impos- sible, the dead are buried in common grave with some such mark as this serving for all:
 Here lie the bodies of 27 French soldiers who died for their country"
 The dead removed, the cleaning-up continues. Broken transports, shat tered wheels splintered blanks, cloth ing, German and French helmets, am munition,guns, swords, books, shoes, revolvers and numberless other odds and ends including arms and legs lie promisculously about on the churned- up earth. These all must be disposed of.
 This is sanitary war. If there have been no plaques it is because the cleaning-up has been thorough. All this gruesome collection is disposed of hygienically. Useable material is parked and sent to the rear; guns are stocked in orderly piles according to make; bayonets and scabbards and swords and head-gear and all the rest, ditto. The stuff is listed and shipped and receipts and way-bills are an properly made out and signed and sealed.
 Then the advancing army settles down in it's new home. It had made fairly comfortable place during the months of waiting, but all this has been left behind, and a new start is made. The former quarters of Ger man officers and men are transform ed, with much securing and furbish ing and disinfecting, into quarters for the French officers and men.
 Today the Battlefield of Cham pagne is comparatively clean. But one still occasionally stumps ones toe against something or other very un- pleasant.

CLEANING A
 BATTLEFIELD
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
 United Press Staff Correspondent )
 WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN CHAMPAGNE, Dec. 24.-Cleaning up battlefield is a whooping big jo0. The Battle of Champagne began months ago and several regiments are still trying to make it presentable.
 This battlefield, which will be known in future textbooks as in many ways unique, is 15 miles long and miles wide, running east and west. As the French advanced they faced the Germans at it's southern edge of it, their trenches, cut in chalk white as curds, being 90 to 200 yards apart
 Two months before their drive the French began to accumulate ammuni- ton; mass artillery, dig trenches, build narrow and standard-guage rail ways, wide, well-graded rock-anG- gravel higways and other things of the sort.
 September 22 the French artillery turned loose a helPs fury of shells. A German officers letter, interrupted by death, said the smelling resembled the collapse of a world. Practically every square yard of this 45 square miles of chalky ground was tossed in- to the air by explosives. White as sepulchre, it is hard to believe that ever again will man be able to make his home amid these fields.
 For three days the French poured melinite and chedite into the Ger mans barbed-wire entanglements, steel turretS, machine guns, armored trenches, secret traps, hidden cc' lenses, invisible wire coils with cut ting edges, centers of resistence, fortified woods and what not.
 The Germans, their food supply cut off because supply trains could not approach, huddled at the bottom of their bomb-shelters 20 feet under the ground while their trenches were blown to nothing. Some companies lost half their men during the bonn bardment alone. Underground am munition stores exploded; shelters were ripped up as though they were roofed with paper instead of stone and earth. The world never saw such shell fire.
 At 9:15 a. m. on the 25th the French infantry charged, and at 9:15 and half the house-cleaning began. AS the attackers entered what was left of the German first line trenches, the cleanup began with the bayonet- ing all remaining Germans who .fFer ed resistence and making prisoners of those who surrendered.
