LAST ARGUMENT COMING TODAY
 IN ORPET CASE
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel


 WAUKEGAN, H., July, 1s.--The last argument of counsel in the case of William H. Orpet, charged with the murder of Marion Lambert. will be be- gun tomorrow and by Saturday night it is the intention to have the case in the hands of the jury.
 The eliminating effort of the de- fense in behalf of the young collegiau was begun this afternoon by James II. Wilkerson, chief of his counsel, and when he concludes tomorrow the last word for the defense will have been spoken. In all, six lawyers will have been heard
 MT. Wilkerson's remarks to the jury today covered old ground in a new way. His theme was that the pre- sumption of innocence which the law grants every defendant until he is proven guilty makes clear and inno- cent every detail of the evidence urged against the defendant. i The cornerstone of the case of the ! prosecution said Mir. Wnkerson rested on the fact that Orpet spent ! the night of February s in the garage near the greenhouse where cyanide of 1 sodium. then thought to be cyanide oi i potassium, was kept Marion died of i cyanide of potassium poisoning and when the cyanide was discovered in i the greenhouse. the state jumped to | the conclusion that Orpet poisoned hel and with the presumption of guilt. has bent every innocent circumstance tc l fit that theory"
 Resuming his argument for the de- fense today, Attorney Ralph F. Potter defended the integrity of his own wit nesses particularly II. J. Carlin, the 1 investigator The state insnuateC i that Carlin persuaded state witnesses to change their testimony. Not ono word of proof has been brought against the investigation Potter said.
 The attorney then turned to Jose phine Davis, who spent the night witt i Marion on February 8, the day before the latters death. At the inquest and to state officers Miss Davis said Mar ion was happy. Never made threa of suicide and never cried.
 ''I was angry at Orpet for what h' | did to Marion; I thought him guilt. and wanted to say things that woul' hurt him"

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

BALTIMORE, July 15.-Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, spent an hour aboard the German sub marine merchantmen Deutschland to- day. He inspected the vessel from stem to stern, had the intricate machinery and instruments aboard explained to him and personally congratulated Cap tain KOenig upon bringing his vessel safely to America through waters in- fested with hostile war craft.
 Two attaches of the German embassy, the German and Austrian counsels in Baltimore, and Mayor Preston accom- panied the ambassador on his visit to the submarine. The intense heat in side the hull of the vessel, generated by sun-rays beating upon the deck and sides, prevented the party from remain ing aboard longer than an hour
 The ambassador informed Captain koening that he would send to him be- fore the Deutschland starts on her re- turn voyage several packets of official papers which he desires to have de- livered intact to the Berlin foreign office. Some of these documents em- bassy officials have been reluctant to trust in the regular mails because it was considered likely they would fall into the hands of British censors.
 The ambassador was enthusiastic as he emerged from the coming tower of the Deutschland
 'It is a wonderful boat and with as courageous a crew as ever sailed the sea, has made q wonderful voyage, " said he. 'I climbed up and down every | hatchway. looked into every compart- ment and had my first experience with a periscope.

NEW YORK, July 13- Leaders in the medical profession from many cities, philanthropists and charity workers thronged the rooms of the Academy of Medicine here tonight to attend mass meeting for the dis cussion of infantile paralysis-the plague which has brought death into hundreds of homes here in rhe last few weeks
 Those who hoped that a cure for the-disease would be hcralded or that isolation of it's deadly germ would be announced were disappointed. Dr. simon Flexner of the Rockefeller in stitute for medical research and other experts told of the progress made by medical science in combating the dis ease, but they had no epoch making discoveries to proclaim.
 Dr. Flexner who has devoted his osn skill and the resources of the Rockefeller institute to the battle against the disease, declared however that there is no occasion for panic He asserted that the death rate from infantile paralysis is lower even thar from other maladies considered fai , less serious. He had a message ot cheer for anxious parents in the an. nounoement that in a large percentage of cases there are complete recover. { ies
 Artificial respiration was suggested 1 by pr. Louis C. Ager as one method
 of treatment. He said it was possible 1 that considerable might be accom- plished in that way.
 pr. Haven Emerson, health com missioner of this city, told what i

 which parents feel is not justified. H
 said that out of 2,600 suspected case l investigated only 1,640 true cases O i infantile paralysis had been found, o

British Maintain
 Their Pressure
 Or the Geymans
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON July 13.-There was very little news today of the battle of Europe"-a term commonly aplied to describe the new co-ordinated entente allied offensive on all fronts. But the British official statement tonight shows that heavy infantry and ar fillery fighting has been in progress and has enabled the British to main tain their pressure on the Germans and advance their line at various points.
 The British forces at Mametz wood are within 300 yards of the German second line. The French forces are separated only by the narrow Somme valley from the German third line through Peronne and Mont St Quen- tin and both armies are doubtless engaged in preparations for the next attacks.
 A conference of the munitions min isters of the four entente allies held in London and presided over by the British war minister. David Lloyd George, shows that effective steps are being taken to insure munitions and their proper disposition. Major Mo- raht, in ttc Perlner Tageblatt, ex- presses the opinion that the coming days will be decisive of the issue o the whole war.
 The reticence of the Russian officla communications at the present mo ment, judging by precedent indicate the progress of some important move ment which only will be announced when the operations are concluded The Austrian and German report show that General von Bothmer Ii still holding on in the region of Tar nopol. although the two wings of thu Russian advance are forty miles be yond Tarnopol. which seems to show that von Bothmer feels secure in hi line of retreat.
