Allies Lose All That They
Ever Gained on the Somme

Berlin, Dec. N.-(Wireless to Say
VILE 1.-The almost complete cessa-
ton of the fighting on the Somme
front during the last four weeks has
enabled the Germans to complete a
new system OF trenches along the
whole front, says the military critic
of the Overseas News Agency in an
article today. He declares the great
battle that began there on July !,
may now be considered TO have been
terminated and DECLARES that the fact
OF the Germans being enabled to re-
construct their line means that all the
efforts and losses OF the five months
offensive by the entente forces we're
in vain, as, if it were desired TO re-
sumo the attack 1t must be begun
all over again as in the beginning.

the negroes held in jail as suspects,
reported they had found bloodyrloth-

here that white man was involved
in the crime. Nine negroes are be-

1t is said that Mrs. Reeves recently
received $1,000 in the settlement of
an estate and this, with the $500,
which her husband kept in the house,
is supposed to have furnished the
motive for the murders. None of
the money has been found.
