SELECT JURORS
FOR TEITSORT'
DAMAGE CASE

Trial of one Of the most perplexing
cases ever before the Wayne County
circuit court started today Clarence
Teitsort is suing the Pennsylvania
railroad for $4,000 damages for the
loss of his right hand in an accident
at Anderson December H. 1915.
Judge Fox said today that it will be
necessary for the attorneys to first
prove whether the case should be tried
under the Interstate Commerce laws
or under the common laws Of Indiana.
Although the state law Is more
favorable to the plaintiff, his attorney
said today indications are that the
suit will be tried under federal laws.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
did not accept the provisions of the
1917 Indiana Compensation law and it
is therefore relieved of the "contribu-
tory negligence" defense of the COM
mon laws.
All me rning was taken up with the
selection of the jury. Two men we're
dismissed by each side. John Dietz
and George Bartel were dismissed by
the plaintiff because they had served
on jury during the past year. James
Carol and Charles Schafer were dis
missed without reason by the de-
fenSe

REVIEWS
S0MME WAR

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Between July 1,
the opening of the Somme battle, and
the end Of September, the British
forces on that front took 26,735 prison
ers. They engaged in that period 80
German divisions and forced twenty
nine of them to withdraw from battle
Those results were announced il
summary of the Somme operations by
Sir Douglas Haig today, given out by
the official press bureau.
The Germans have been thrown
back on their fourth line defenses.
The British commander points out that
the actual results of the battle must
not be measured by the number OF
prisoners and positions taken, but by
the affect upon the strength of the
Teutons in numbers, materials and in
moral.
He emphasizes the heavy German
losses in vain counter attacks.
Haig Makes Statement.
81 Douglas in his statement said:
Eve hold half moon of upland
southwark of the Ancre and occupy
every heighth of importance and so
have the direct observation of the
ground east and northeast.
"The enemy has fallen back upon
its fourth line behind the low ridge
just west of the Bapaume-Transloy
road.
"The importance Of three months Of
fensive is not to be judged by the dis
tance we advanced or by the number
of enemy trench lines taken but must
be looked for in the effect upon the
enemy's strength in numbers, mater
ials and moral.
"The enemy used up his reserves in
repeated costly and unsuccessful
counter attacks, without causing our
allies or ourselves to relax our steady
and methodical pressure.
