Want New Trial for Negro
 Who Killed Young Student
By Hop

Montgomery. December 21. (spe- cial.) l.)-Contending that Andrew Moul- ton, negro was sentenced to death for the murder of Will c. Waller, young university student of Montgomery, be- cause of an appeal to the prejudice of the jury, attorneys for Moulton Thurs day will urge the supreme court to grant another trial in the Montgomery city court. Moultons attorneys Wednes- day, in brief, set out declarations of the solicitor, special prosecuting of- ficer and the court in an effort to show that the negro was not given l fair trial and also contended that the trial of Moulton only 12 days after the homicide and when the crime was in the minds of all persons operated against him.
 Waller was stabbed to death on his fathers plantation June 1 and Moulton was tried June 12. The jury imposed the death sentence after a deliberation of only a few minutes.

LIGHT HARNESS
SEASON OPENS
AT P|TTSFIELD

- Portland, Me, July with a two days
racing card at Pittsfield Monday and
Tuesday and Fourth of July matinee at
Lewiston, to say nothing Of the meets Of
lesser Importance in other parts Of the
State, the light harness season in Maine
will be well under way this week. These
special events are but forerunners of the
many that will feature the big season
that is to come on the many Maine tracks
in a little more than month, and a..
though the weather Of the past month
or more has been fit for almost anything
except conditioning a race horse, these
opening numbers may give the fans a
chance to work up a little stable dope on
what the season has in store.
. The Pittsfeld opener is perhaps the
most important of the early season and
from the entries and probable starters in
the six numbers slated for the two days
it is apparent that some real racing will
develop. The Lewiston matinee, too will
attract big crowd of light harness rae
ing fans to the State Fair track and somf
speed is promised In the various events
carded.
Irving w. Pottle, the Portland horse
man, whose string of more than a score
of horses is st the Lewiston half mile
circle, will start the season with entries
both at Pittsfield and at Lewiston. Mr..
Pottle has already shipped three horses
to Pittsfield and will go after some Of the
purses offered in three of the six classes.
Lady Carnage (219 La has been entered
and will start in the 219 class, and The
Only One 2.23 Ia will start in the 223
class. both on Monday On Tuesdav p
H. Danes Wendellwood OLA Ia in the
Pottle string will start in the free-for-all
In this event some spectacular early sea-
son work is expected. According to the
present indications the Dane PAGER will
bring home a piece Of the change hung
up for this race. Mr.. Pottle also has one
entry in the Lewiston matinee, Todd's
Echo. George Childs superintendent of
the Lewiston track, will hold the reins
over the Pottle entry.

MEXICO DE FACTO
GOVERNMENT IS
HOPEFUL OF THE
ZAPATA DEFEAT

Mexico City. July 2.-The Zapataista
General Delao has been seriously
wounded in a battle with the Consti-
tutionialist forces under Gen. Sidronio
Mendez. according to a dispatch re-
ceived by the secretary of state from
Gen. Mendez. This assertion coupled
with the recent victories over the Ia
pataistas under Gen. Pablo Gonzalez
have reinforced the hopes Of the Con-
stitutionalists that a death blow has
been struck to Zapataism.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the celebra ton on July IS
of the anniversary of the death Of Be-
nito Juarez, Mexicos national hero. 1t
is planned to conduct the celebration
on a far more elaborate scale than
that of any previous year.
The recruits who offered their SER
vices to the government in view Of
the crisis with the United States were
given their first instructions today in
Mexico City and neighboring towns.

At the next station, Syracuse, we
were allowed an hour to look over the

nice town. We got the same kind of a
send-off there.
All through the day the fellows have
been getting cards with addresses and
petitions for cards in return when we
reach Texas.
The cars in which we ride are all
decorated with pictures of Villa, Car
rama and other noted Mexican lead
ers and such slogans as Maine to

The boys arrived at Buffalo Friday and
during the day while en- route through
Syracuse they were allowed an hours
leave of absence from the train which
they took advantage of in walking about
the town, where they were received in
open arms by the populace, who gave
them about everything that they could
possibly desire. Their money appeared not
to be of the slightest use in that city and
they were cheered heartily. At Rotter-

off the train and given a gymnastic drill
to loosen up the stiffened limbs
The route for Saturday was along Lake

Decision Of Point

The greater effort was prepared and
eagerly awaited in the last 10 days the
exact point where the blow was to be
delivered was carefully concealed. 1t
was believed that it would be north of
Arras, with Lille for the objective, but
it was finally decided, on strategic
rather than for sentimental grounds, to
make the move south of Arras at a
point where the piercing of the line
would operate more seriously in the
dislocation of the German forces.
The theatre Of operations for the
British forces runs between CONNIE
court north Of the river Acre, to a
point just north Of the Somme, while
the French attacked on both sides of
the Somme and southwark towards
Roye.
Thus the Entente allies armies pre-
sent a front of % miles, with the Brit
ish on the left for Is miles and the
French on the right for 10 miles
The region of this supreme contest
is favorable for military operations.
Virtually all of its is within the de-
partment of the Somme which is lev
ell plateau of chalky formation.
Situation Of Lines

sections are level fields, chiefly devot-
gar production of France.
The intense bomba rdment of the last
four days was the signal for an adj
vance over these level fields beginning
at $50 o'clock yesterday morning. The
allied artillery then heightened the
range so as to shut off all communica-
ton between the first German line and
the German reserve in the rear.
This JADE it impossible for the Tell
tons to utilize their perfect organiza-
ton for the shifting of troops and for
the bringing up of reinforcements.
French military observers think the
Germans miscalculated the intentions
of the Entente Allies and expected the
attacks further north.
The villages which the French cap
tured in the first sweep include Dom
pieriere, Becquincourt, Bossus and
Fay. and these and the towns taken by
the BritiSh-Mintauban and Mameiz
We're all found to be strongly fortified
by the Germans.
Anticipate Counter.Attacks
The Allies quickly threw up strong
earthWorks around the villages thus
taken, in order to protect them against
ccunter-attacks. 1t was not before
night, however, that the Germans were
able to deliver any counter "a tacks
This was centered against the French
position on the outskirts Of Harde-
court, and it was repulsed with heavy
losses, ending in a precipitate retreat.
Throughout last night, the French
continued their drive, capturing the
village Of Curlu. of which they already
had occupied the outskirts, and pro-
crossing south of the Somme between
Herbecourt and Asseville rivers.
In addition to the military success
es, the terrain overrun by the Entente
Allied troops has an exceptional STRAIT
eglc Importance. Four of the towns
captured by the French are only seven
miles west of Peronre, the chief rail
highway from the German center at
Cologne to the German front in the
region Of Noyon and scissors.
The German headquarters is at st.
Quentine, % miles southeast of Peronne.
Already the French forces threaten Pc
rome with the evident purpose of cut
ting the trunk railway there which is
an Indispensable artery for German mil
itary reinforcements.
