On Defensive Everywhere.

All This Of course has been theoreti-
cally obvious to all soldiers since the
beginning OF trench warfare. It's sudden
and vital present importance IL due first
10 the relative decline in German num-
bers, which throws them on the defen-
sive everywhere. and secondly. TO the
unexpected success Of Gems. Foch and
Rrusiloff In breaking through trench
positions which the Germans believed
practically ~impregnable.
II Is too soon TO write an appreciation
Of the tactics Of Gen. Foch on the Somme
but already military men are saying that
he has proved himself the first strategist
In Europe for the second time. His blow
against the Prussian Guard o the
battle of the Marine when all seemed
lost now his new system Of attack
seems 70 some critics to have solved the
problem OF overcoming trench defences.
Instead OF attacking the German
trenches on a wide front. hts troops on
he Somme have perfected q "wedge
system" gaining q footing here and
there. then pushing literally instead of
directly ahead. creating little pockets
and bulges which al be cut of or
bombed out.
This, however, In q depression. nor are

Coleman du Pont. who was not present at
the meeting In question.
MISSING WORDS MGAN1NGFrL.
The complainant asserts that at this
meeting a resolution was offered prOpus-
! ing that Pierre S. du punt, then vice
president of the company, instruct T..
Coleman du Points lawyer that the COM
mittce "dO not feel justified i'm paying
more than $125 for the stock at this time"
was passed by the committee. Pierre S.
du pont voting in the negative.
The words "at this time" are said to
have been inadvertently dropped in tran
scrbing the motion to the minute book
of the committee
Early in February, 1915, Alfred I. du
Pont requested that Pierre S. du Pont
furnish to him and to William du pOnt
copy Of the letter in which the seuti-
ment of the Finance Committee was COM
muniCated to r. Coleman du Pont. 1t is
charged that the request was never COM
piled with, and that. therefore. on Feb
ruary Ii, 1916 Alfred |. du Pont wrote
r. Coleman du Pont explaining his atti-
tudc toward the proposed sale of stock.
1t is also asserted he Informed the then
president of the company that he con-
sIdcrcd 1t very desirable for the company
to purchase the stock in the interests Of
its employees.
on February l6, 1915, copy of this
letter was sent to Pierre S. du Pont
Notwithstanding this communication, it
is alleged that on or before February l6,
Pierre S du POnt entered into ncgotia-
tOns with the confidential representative
of T. Coleman du pont for the purchase
Of the stock in question on his own ac-
count, Offering 500 a share for the COM
mon stock and $50 a share for the pre-
ferred stock.
1t is further charged that T. Coleman
du Pont, president Of the company, en-
Pierre S. du Pont because he had been
tude of the Finance Committee.
When Alfred l. and William du Pon"
learned that Pierre $. du Pont had ar
ranged the purchase of the stock owned
by T. Coleman du Pont they protested
that, unless he had done so in the inter-
ests of the powder company his action
would constitute a breach of faith.
The purchase of the stock by Pierre s.
du Pont Is further alleged to have been
instigated by his official knowledge that
the stock would be tremendously in
creased in value by reason of contracts
obtained and others pending with the
warning nations of Europe. The bill of
complaint continues at this point as fol-
lows: Pierre $. du Pont fraudulently,
and i'm violation of his trust as an officer

presidential nomination other than Knox
he would not say word, declaring that
the man who has been pledged the sup
port OF all factions in the state FOR the
Republican nomination for United States
Senator Is the only man he wants to see
named
Mr.. Folwell's declaration for Knox was
regarded in political circles as being a
part of a well. organized boom for the
former Secretary of state, which is rap
idly gaining strength among the manu-
facturCrS and which political observers
expect to be launched within a short
time
POLITICAL CAREER OF 1iNOX.
"For Il presidential candidate Mr.. Knox
suits me, said Mr.. F'olwcll. "IIc has oc-
cupied n prominent place in the Cabinets
of President Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft and has served six years as United
States Senator. His political training
especially fits him for the Presidency. His
views about the tariff and for building
up American Industries instead of foreign
industries are sound ana are well known,
He has been through the mill ana he
has had more experience politically than
any other man who could be brought for
ward. This IS my personal view
, Mr., Folwcll N answer to question
insisted that he is not merely in favor
Of a candidate Of the type of Knox, but
that he favors Knox personally,
Discussing the issues upon which the
Republican campaign will be '"aged, he
said:
THE main issue is preparedness. We
want II along industrial lines as well as
military lines Industrial preparedness
is of more vital concern than military
preparedness. 1t must be the basis for
military preparedness. Both are neces-
sary, however.
INDUSTRIES NOT MENTIONED.
"In President Wilson's speech before
Congress, he outlined the different taxes
that are to be imposed He did not,
however, say anything about improving
industrial conditions so that the indus
tries of the country could stand the new
taxes
I'VE do not want man from a col
lege who never consults with anybody
before he acts. Had President Wilson
sought the advice Of the members of his
Cabinet, the present Mexican mudcIe
never would have occurred. lie should
have recognized Huerta, and placed an
embargo on the expectation of arms.
Conditions in that country would be set
tied today had he acted as other coun-
tries did and recognized Huerta."

DARBY SLEUTHS FAIL
IN FEEBLE SEARCH
FOR WOMAN'S SLAYER
Attempt to Establish Suicide
Theory Blocked by Statement
of Collinsgrove, Whose
House Was Robbed
PUBLIC FEELING RoUsED

There is still no trace of the Darby muir
derer, and the Delaware County sleuths
who, 1t is alleged, are investigating the
clues did not put in their appearance to-
day in the borough. The man who stole
the money and jewelry from the home of
William Collnsgrove and then killed his
housekeeper, Mary Davis when she
sought to save the property, apparently
has little fear of capture.
Collinsgrove will return tomorrow with
his bride, whom he married in Chicago.
and It is expected that his return will put
impetus into the Investigation. Collins
grove said there was no doubt that Mrs.
Davis was murdered, and he helped to
convince the authorities tnat there was
absolutely no reason for the woman to
kill herself. on learning that he could
not be induced to entertain the suicide
theory the county officials Immediately
lost interest in the case.
None of the officials has been seen
here since last Thursday, when they met
over McClure's saloon which serves as
police headquarters, II was then that
quick conclusions were formed and the
murder theory was flouted by the sleuths
and District Attorney John 3. Hunnum,
Jr. Realizing that the people would not
accept the Indifference of the authorities,
political followers of the Mcclure ring
tried to revive the suicide theory today
by suggesting that Mrs. Davis might have
used the money stolen from the Collins
grove house to pay personal debts
But Collinsgrove before leaving his
home said there was no foundation for
such rumor as he had seen the money
and jewelry before he left home on the
day of the murder. As neighbors say
Mrs. Davis did not leave the house, this
last resort to revive the suicide plea has
failed
MANY witnesses have been summoned to
the inquest which will be held tomorrow
by Coroner Drewcs, and it IL expected
that there will be some surprising de-
velopments.
