The cases of Pat Morrissey, Clyde
Semones, and Hollis Prenty charged
with disturbing the peace, were UP
before Judge Mcnamara yesterday
afternoon. After the city had pre-
scented it's case, Frank Ballinger, rep
resenting the defense, asked for and
obtained an adjournment until to-
morrow afternoon, in order to sub
poena witnesses. The case against
Prenty has collapsed and he probably
will be acquitted. This morning the
court granted Morrissey and Semones
an adjournment of trial until after the
conclusion of the war with Mexico,
on condition that the two should en-.

is to go to the front it must have

wanted to go, but couldn't with the

vile, Nov. l4.-Germany believes the
Somme crisis has passed. The belief Is
based on the unshakable and unani-
nous opinion of the men who have
borne the hammeIing allied blows that
the entente allies can never break
through these lines of steel and cement,
above and below ground.
Furthermore, it is pointed out that
success in pushing the German lines
out of France and Belgium would make
the occupied sections of these countries
a shambles-no man. s land, made such
by French, British and Belgian guns.
This confident belief that the allied
offensive is wearing .rseli' out is held
in the face of statements by British
prisoners that the month of November
will be one of surprises. The result of
the great allied Offensive was decided
in July, German officers here declard,
when the combined French and British
artillery and the English tanks failed
TO break the German lines in their dar-
ing, initial dash.
