SHOT BY NEGRO.

Augustine Lesandres, Greek res
taurant keeper was shot and probably
mortalIy wounded early yesterday
morning at his place of business in
Hopewell by an unidentified negro,
who has thus far eluded arrest. When
Lesandres went to the restaurant ear
ly in the morning to open up he
found the negro asleep in the build
ing. The tables had been ransacked
and it was with some difficulty that
the negro was elected from the place.
A few minutes later the desperate
returned with pistol, and fired two
shots at the restaurant keeper from
the outside. He then advanced to the
inside and fired three other shots one
of which passed through Lesandres
neck, at the ,baseto the brain and
went out at his mouth. The other two
passed entirely through his body.

WAR IN WEST ZONE
Fearful Slaughter Reported in Cham
pagne District


New York, Jan. PA Paris cable
70 the New York Times says:
"The Germans attacked on scarce
lv a smaller scale than we did last
September. They fought desperately
but our artillery was invinclble. We
gained really important victory"
Thus a French captain who was
wounded early yesterday morning de-
scribes the extent and Importance OF
which Paris is still without realiza-
ton.
The German bombardment, began
Saturday morning, increased steadily
in intensity-in the last twelve hours
100000 shells, many Of them contain
ing asphyxiating gas, fell on the D.
mile front from La Courtine to the
western slopes of "rhe Hand" OF
Massiges-untl Monday morning,
when the infantry attacked
The enemy first launched strong
attack on the hill forming the west
ern Ginger" of Massiges, and the de-
tenders fire rolled them shattered
down the slopes. Then, against the )
mile front between "The Hand and
La Courtne, $4,000 Germans charged
no longer in solid columns, but in
four successive waves on the trench
system.
at was repetition Of our Septem-
Der offensive" said my informant,
with the difference that we had then
silcnced their artillery and machine
guns, while now ours maintained the
supremacy"
Under the fire of the French "Se.
venty-hves" the assault melted away
A mere fraction of the attacking
force reached the holes in the French
wire torn by the bombardment and
occupied some 300 yards of front
trenches, which were mostly recaptur
ed in French counter attacks.
With fully three-fifths of his 90.
900 soldiers taking part in the battle
killed and wounded. Gen Won Einen
paid dearly for the 100 yards OF
French trenches representing the net
gains of the offensive.

ment and training, while the Hay
plan stipulates that the National
Guard shall be paid for services when
in annual encampment.
There is a strong sentiment in the
Military Affairs Committee in favor
Of substituting the Hay National
Guard plan for the Garrison contin-
entail army scheme One of the strik-
ing features Of the Hay plan is that
all members of the National Guard.
whether single or married, shall be
compelled to serve in time of war.
The President, under the plan, is en-
abled to draft the entire National
Guard in a body into the regular
army in the event Of hostilities. Mr..
Hay believes all constitutional OBJ
stacles to such a provision can be
removed.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Hay
believes the proposed increase in the
number of soldiers in the regular
army can be raised without changing
the present organization of the army.
By raising the present organization
to war strength. Mr.. Hay declares.
the army would have $4,000 regu-
lars and 1000 officers. The Garrison
plan proposed to increase the organ
ization of the army in order to raise
its personnel to 141 900 men.
The National Guard now numbers.
100000 men. Under the Hay plan
of paying it from the Federal Treas
ury. friends of the plan declare in
side of two or three years the Ma
tional Guard strength can be in
creased to at least 100000 men, the
size of the proposed continental army.
