FRENCH STEM GERMAN TIDE

London.-Repulse at the hands OF
the French again has been the net
result of German infantry attack
launched with huge electives after
"A heavy bombardment against French
positions at LIE Mort Homme north
west of Verdun. The Germans, who
attacked in serred massesnA were
driven eastward toward the Bois des
Corbeaux. where the French guns in
flicted heavy casualties on them.
The attack at lie Mort Homme con-
stituted the only infantry maneuver
along the entire French front, but
from Belgium to the Vosges the ar
tillery of both sides has been active
at numerous points. Around Douau-
mont and the village of Vaux the big
guns are operating with redoubled
violence. while southwark in the
Woevre the artillery duels in the
Meuse hills continue.
In the Argonne Forest the French
guns are still Smelling tho German
positions northwest of the road from
Varennes and German batteries near
Montfaucon.
The latest German official communi-
cation making reference to French at
tempts TO dispute our possession or
the height of lie Mort Homme' has
brought forth a statement from the
French Embassy at Washington that
the Germans have never gained a
footing on the hill, which the French
still hold.
II the Russians succeed in attaining
Klanikin they will be in position to as
sail the rear OF the Turkish Bagdao
forces. Russia IS also aiming to strike
north OF Bagdad for the purpose or
severing the railway. thereby cutting
off the Turks from their main source
OF supplies.
Artillery battles OF great intensity
continue along the whole western
front
The German army has received
heavy reinforcements. The closing OF
the Swiss-G German frontier is reported,
and the order is supposed to have
been given to cover the movement
OF great bodies OF troops.

POLISH RELIEF HARD PROBLEM

Britain. Fearing Confisestion by
Germany, Still Undecided.
London.-The Cabinet considered
the question OF Polish relief. 1t was
not decided whether or not to allow
relief to he sent TO the people OF
Poland. The problem has become one
OF the most troublesome before the
Government. Against the wish to
avert starvation among the Poles there
is the fact that Germany has requis-
toned all the cotton and woollen
goods In Belgium.

For Mayor
Notice of Advance.

Because of the advance in the
price of paper and everything
that goes in turning out printing,
we are forced to raise the price
of nearly all classes of job print
ing. Since the first of March we
have received notice of an ad-
vance of from 10 to 80 per cent
with an extra raise on all colored
stocks. This comes in addition
to advances in price already
made, making more than so per
cent in some lines.
For the last several months we
have hoped that prices would be-
come steady with such little
advance that we could maintain
our old prices, but with this late
notice staring us in the face, we
can but charge more for our pro-
ducts.

ment issued by the war Office today.
The attack was repulsed by the

The Germans exploded two mines
before launching their infantry
against the French trenches. Their
iepulse was due, the statement says,
to the effectiveness Of the French
screen FIRE.
In the Verdun sector no infantry
action was reported, bit 4 mutual
bombardment was maintained during
the night.
The text of the statement follows:
South Of the Sommr, before Maui

ORPET'S LETTERS
ARE ISSUE IN CASE
Judge Donnelly Delays Ruling on
Objection Of Defense as to
Their Competency.
oRPET TALKS TO REPORTER

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 23.-Judge
Donnelly was still unprepared when
court opened today to rule on the
competence or incompetence as evi.
dence Of the earlier letters of Will H
Orpet to Marion Lambert, for whose
alleged murder the young man is on
trial.
The defense objected to the admis.
sion Of the earlier letters as having
no bearing on Marion's death. Judge
Donnelly, speaking to the lawyer be.
fore the jury was called in, said that
the letters wee so prejudicial to Or.
pet as plainly indicating seduction
that it would be dangerous to submit
them to the jury.
II have read the letters" the court
said, land they affected me. The ef.
feet on the jury may be imagined
They might not draw the distinction
that they are trying the defendant
for murder and murder alone"
States Attorney Dady argued for
their admission on the broad grounds
that an illicit love affair eliminating
in murder could be shown only by
reading the entire series of epistles
The citation Of authorities consumed
an hour.
orpet's Talk to Reporter.
Everett Friganza, newspaper re-
porter, who had various interviews
with ,Orpet, was recalled to the stand.
"Orpet told me that he met Mar
ion in the Helms woods to tell her
their friendship had ceased--that he
was through" the witness said. "He
said they walked together. She
stopped and he walked on. When he
looked back she had fallen in the
snow"
Friganza, in talking with Orpet on
the train coming from Madison to
Lake Forest, asked Orpet if he was
engaged to Celeste Youker.
"He said they were practically en-
gagged" related the witness. He
asked me not to drag nef name into
the case. He admitted that his rela-
tons with Marion we're illicit. He
said 1t was cold proposition--I new
er told her | loved her--I never said
! would marry her..
Objection by Defense.
After Orpet was placed in jail Fri
ganza said that he found 1t difficult
to reach Orpet and had himself ar
rested and thrown into jail with the
accused on February 20.
At this point Attorney Potter Of the
defense objected.
1--WE have information said Mr..
Potter, that the states attorney con-
nived with witness to get him into
Jail to obtain Orpet's confidence"
"Overruled," said the court.
"In the jail" continued the witness,
II asked Orpet II he had disposed Of
the bottle which contained the potas-
stun cyanide. He said no."
