AMERICAN LINE
SHIFTED SOME
MOVE REGARDED AS PREcAU-
TIoN TO cHEckMATE CAR.
RANZA'S ADVANCES.

COLUMBUS, N. Mex, May 25.-A
new movement of American troops
along General J. J. Persbing's line
Of communication was reported here
today The movements made within
the last 48 hours were said to offset
the redistribution Of certain Carranza
commands but no details were avail
able at military headquarters and it
was pointed out that any movements
under way were minor and do not
effect the general expedtionary pol
icy.
A quantity Of shrapnel and other am
munition which arrived here from the
front Monday, today was sent back.
It was explained that the shipment
had been consigned from Namiquipa
to Colonel Dublan, but through a mis-
take, was carried through TO Colum-
bus.
Several cavalry patrols are scouting
through Namiquipa district according
to fragmentary reports reaching here
but these, It was learned, are acting
merely as intelligence detachments,
orders having been given them to act
only on the defensive and to take no
prisoners.

Dead Choke Ravines.

PARIS. May 25-Along a twenty.
mile front. reaching from Avocourt
wood to Douaumont, there are a dozen
ravines so choked with bodies that
they form CHASTITY barrier of corpses
Never in the history of the war has
the fighting been so ferocious or the
losses so frightful as they have been
during the past week.
Resolved to capture Verdun AT all
costs, the German crown prince has
sent wave upon wave of soldiers In
mass formation into the French cur
tain fire, with disregard for human
life that Is incomprehensible. The
smell fire so completely covers every
inch Of ground that it is impossible to
remove the dead or wounded
During the night, the French made
some progress to the east of Cumi.
eres, while the German forces gain
ed foothold in the French trenches
to the north of Haudremont forest.
The other portins of the great bat.
tie front are comparatively quiet, ex-
cept for the devastating shell fire.

PROSPERITY CLUB
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The Prosperity club at the Bruins
wick Bank & Trust company is at
tracing more attention than it's or
ganizers anticipated Many new mem.
bers are being added and the pros.
poets are that the club will have a
large membership before the end of
the week. Numerous inquiries were
made yesterday about the plan, and
the bank officials and clerks took es.
pecial pains to answer all questions
and give complete information. The
purpose of the Prosperity club is to
induce Brunswickians to save a small
amount of money each week for two
hundred weeks. 1t is believed by that
time the spirit of saving will have
been so deeply impressed upon the
depositor that he will continue saving
and thus be finacially insured against
disaster in later years.

GERMANY READYFOR
THE UNITED STATES
TO SUGGEST PEACE
Wilson's Speech at Charlotte Sends
A Ripple of Talk Throughout
Teutonic Empire French
Losing Near Verdun

BERLIN, May "a Via London, May
25 DelayeO.-A wireless dispatch
from the United States giving the sub
stance of President Wilson's speech
at Charlotte, n. c., in which he re-
ferred to the possibility of American
mediation in the war, is given the
place of honor in the morning papers.
The afternoon editions return to the
subjects and their comments togeth-
er with the wide interest shown by
the German public, show how import
ant this news is regar>ed here.
Though definitely stated nowhere,
there is little doubt that Germany is
willing to consider the tender of good
offices to inaugurate peace negotia-
tions. The former attitude in the high
est quarters that America had dis
qualified herself as a peace mediator
on account of her shipments of muni-
tions to the allies has now changed
If President Wilson can hold out any
tangible possibilities that peace may
result through his mediation, Germany
will undoubtedly be willing to consider
such suggestions as he may offer.
This receptive attitude is naturally
subject to the condition that Germany
is not jockeyed into a position of an
noancing her readiness to accent
President Wilson's good Offices, only
to find the allies later rejecting the
tender and asserting that Germany is
sueing for peace, There is equally lit
tie doubt that the great masses of
the people, aside from the professional
Hotspurs in the newspaper Offices
would willingly see America in the
role of peace intermediary, despite
the peTsisting bitterness over the mu-
nitions question.
AS matter of fact, little is heard
nowadays from the general public,
or from the press, on the subject oe
American shipment of arms. The quos-
ton seems to have been submerged
by other problems of existence which
are OF more immediate imr. rtant to
me nation.
President Wilson's declaration can
nor be said, however, to Fave made a
good impression in Germany as far as
the so-called "armor plate" newspa-
pers like the Tages Zietung and the
Taglische Rundschau are concerned.
Other Chauvinist organs take occasion
to remember President Wilson with
bitter and uncompimentary phrases
and even moderate paper like the
Lokal Anzieger declares that the
president should first demonstrate the
lmpartiality Of his neutrality by max
ing good his demand FOR respect for
American rights against England. He
would then have an excellent chance,
says this paper, of succeeding in his
peace mission. at least as far as Ger.
many is concerned.
The rumors of mediation have af
fected the Berlin stock market "War
babies" which have been generally
weak, dropped lower still on reports

WIRE TAPPING
CASE INVOLVES
VIM. J. BURNS
DETECTIVE MAY BE INDICTED
IN CONNECTION WITH IN
VESTlGATlON- NJ. Y. MAY
OR FLAYS CLERGYMEN.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Fresh legal
proceedings both criminal and civil.
We're promised today as the outcome
of the wire tapping Investigations.
District Attorney Swami said that
Frederick Seymour, the attorney, had
consented to sign complaint which
would enable the public prosecutor to
ask the grand jury for indictments
against William j. Burns, the detec-
tive, for unlawfully entering Sey-
mour's office.
Mayor Mitchell threatened criminal
action against prominent Catholic
clergymen, whom he accuses of con-
spring to pervert justice and inter-
fere with the state investigations. One
of the men accused by the mayor. the
Rev. William B. Farrell, said he in
tended to sue the mayor for defama-
tion of character.
The district attorney sought permis-
sion to lay Burns case before the
grand jury after witness testified yes
terdya at John Doe proceedings before
city magistrate that the detective
had Seymour's telephone wire tapped
and even opened desk in his office
during one of several secret raids and
made notes from papers therein.
1t is charged that Burns was en-
ployed to find out how tips about war
munitions contracts had leaked from
the Office OF j. p Morgan & Co. Today
the district attorney sought to ascer-
tain whether Burns employers knew
of the methods he used to obtain in
formation and countenanced them.
Burns is now on his way to New York
from Los Angeles. His arrival is ex
peoted Saturday and the district at
torney said he would have chance to
testify al the John Doe proceedings
before any action was taken against
him
Investigation of police activities in
tapping wires to obtain evidence
against the Catholic charities authori-
ties continued today before the
Thomson legislative committee. Since
Senator Thomson, the chairman, an
nounced that the committee felt bound
to hear any one of the persons men
toned by the mayor in his sweeping
charges, it promised to be prolonged.

FIGHT ON TO SAVE
WAITEFROM DEATH
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Defence Begins in Noted Murder Case
Attempt Will Be Made
To Prove That Waite
Was Insane

Attendance was somewhat de.
creased today. Mrs. Clara Peck
Waite sat near the jury box, partly
hidden from the gaze of the specta-
tors. Miss Elizabeth B. Hardwick,
who sent the "K. Adams" message,
giving Percy Peck warning of sus-
picions of murder, was in the court
room, as were also Warren w. Waite
father of the young dentist, and
Frank A. Waite, his brother.
Mr.. Deuel. told the Jurors that it
would be shown that DR.. Waite was of
unsound mind. He also announced that
the prisoner would take the stand.
Waite's history, the attorney added,
would show his mental weakness
while his father and two brothers
would testify as to the prisoners
condition and concerning circum-
stances in his early life. Counsel
promised to produce alienists to show
that Waite's mind is diseased.
Frank A. Waite. the dentists
brother, was the first witness for the
defense, He said that because DR..
Waite had a large head the other
members of the Waite family "poked
fun at him."
Frank Waite said his brother Jagged
on the way to school when a child
and was always getting into trouble
with other boys. Arthur was 18 years
old when he entered the University
of Michigan. He sent back $1,000
from South Africa and brought $1,500
more when he returned, the witness
said.
The brother described visits to
Waite's apartment when he lay in a
stupor from narcotics and said the
dentist then talked at random and in
his lucid intervals acted far differently
than when normal
DR.. Waite, the witness said, never
discussed his intention to marry Clara
Peck until after their engagement
was announced Cross-examined Waite
said he remembered telling a physi-
clan at Bellevue Hospital there was
no epilepsy, mental deficiency nor
criminality in the Waite family. He
said he did not see his brother read
ing book on arsenic and did not re.
call hearing Arthur say after the
death of Peck that he had been told
he could get arsenic from gardener
to put into the embalming fluid.
