Onslaught on Allied Front Is Re-

LONDON. Feb. 6.--The Austro-Ger-
man bombardment of the Anglo
French lines before Saloniki is be-
hsved to mark the commencement of
a general assault upon the allies
stronghold in the Balkans.
The rapid increase of German
forces, the arrival OF fresh Bulgarian
troops, and the diversion to this sec
tor of Turkish soldiers, military OBJ
servers say, have reached the point
where the Germans are confident they
can risk a grand infantry attack after
the heavy guns shall have cleared the
way.
A tremendous artillery duel has
been in progress three days about
Doiran, in which the British guns are
said to have more than held their
own against their adversaries. ac-
cording to dispatches from Saloniki.
The engagement is reported to be
growing in intensity.
Move to Frontier.
Newly formed Bulgarian regiments,
Differed by Germans, have concen-
trated at Nanthi and Gumudijna on
the Dedeagatch- -Sa loniki railroad in
Bulgaria, while the Austrian troops
are moving out of Montenegro toward
Monastir. leaving less than $4,000 be-
hind to occupy the country.
Rome dispatches declare that the
"exaggeratedly pessimistic" reports
from AuStro-German sources in re-
gard to Roumania's possible interven-
tion on the side of the allies are in
tended mostly to create the false i'm
preston that the Bulgarians are
powerless to cooperate in the attack
on Saloniki. whereas the Austro-
Germans. the dispatches state, are
we'll aware that Roumania does not
plan to intervene at the present time,
and that her decision rests entirely
upon future developments in the
Balkans.

Excited Crowd Cheers Verdict.
AS the final act in Rhode Islands most
celebrated criminal case drew to a close
the room throbbed with excitement. and
Judge Stearns gave warning that any
commotion when the jury came in would
be followed by punishment. Led by
Clarke. the lank foreman whose jaws
have never ceased their moveemnt since
he took his seat on the first day of the
trial, the jury filed into the room al sos.
Two of them were smiling.
"Mr. Foreman, have you reached a
vedirct?" asked the clerk.
We have" Clarke replied.
"Do you find the defendant. Victor
Brown. guilty or not guilty."
Guilty." he replied.
DO you find the defendant, Henry
Speliman'. guilty or not guilty
The matter of fact tones Of the fore
man caused Mrs. Mohr to stiffen in her
chair with apprehension.
DO YOU find the defendant. Elizabeth

Not guilty" said Clarke slowly.
A little gasp came from Mrs. Mohr
and she pitched forward OF her counsel

arsm about her and then moved across

RATTLED BOOZE BACK IN 1850
Old Sussex County Records Tells of
Condition at Lewes in Early Times

SonoItIon al LeWeS IN EarIT lines
The battle against booze has been
in progress long time in this county.
Back as far as 1850 there was petit
tion to the governor of the Delaware
counties, signed by twelve men, who
declared themselves. Even before this
date the little settlement of Lewes,
down on the Delaware bay, had declared
by edict of the governor that no strong
drink shonld be sold to Indians and
that colonists who drank more than a
f1agon of brandy in a day should be
punished. In the petition signed for
prohibition, the petitioners declared /:
Whereas, wee We inhabitants of ye
neu Seated Towne near ye falls of
Delaware finding ourselves aggrieVed
by ye Indians when drunk, informeth
that we be and have been in great
danger of our lives, of our houses
burning, of our goods stealing and of
our Wives and Children affrighting.
Inasmuch that we are affeared to go
upon our Lawful affairs, least when
we come home we finde you and our
concerns dammnified.
"These things considered, wee doe
humbly e. jointly desire that the sell
ing of brandy and strong liquor to ye
Indians may be wholly suppressed.
when, if done, wee hope shall live
peaceably."
In Lewes the proclamation was sci
forth by order of the governor, who
happened to be hsrd-headed Swede
who, altho after trade, found that th'
Indians made trouble when drunk
His proclamation is still preserved il
the county records in Sussex, while il
several places the court records shov
heavy fines and punishments for sell
ing to Indians.
