bench a report gained currency that
he intended to leave the bench, but at
that time Judge. Robertson was quick
to make public denial that he had any
such intention. This was in May OF
1914 when it was stated that he in
tended to oppose Delegate Kuhio foI
the Republican nomination as delegate
to congress.
In connection with the report tina
Judge Robertson intended to leave tn,

that active professional life may b,

NEW YORK, December 81
ASSOCIATED Press) = The
terrific efforts of Prince Ruprecht
to nullify the advantages gained
for the British by the advance OF
General Byng's army against
Cambria are seemingly vain and
costly. His attempt to carry
forward an encircling movement
has apparently proved failure.
Its cost in man power to Ger
many has been appalling. The
British lines are relatively the
same as they were before the at
tempted German attack and the
tactical position is fully as strong.
On the other hand the German
forces have been depleted as
never before. ,s s.eM .,,'
LOSS TREMENDOUS
Prince Ruprecht continued yes
terday his efforts of Friday and
Saturday to bring about a sue
cessful turning and encircling
movement against the British.
His gains were small and unim-
portant and in no way common
surate to the losses which he suf-
fered. Near Leveque Quarrie, a
little more than two miles north
of Cambria, the scene is like a
vast chafhal house. The dead are
-strewn and heaped before the
British positions in a most
frightful and CHASTITY manner.
This result Of twelve hours fight
ing shows a slaughter which has
not been equalled in any sector
during an equal period of fight
ing in the entire course of the
war. Terrible as were the losses
which the Germans sustained in
the futile attacks which Ruprecht
for weeks made in the Chemin
dies Danes sector, those did not
compare with those at Leveque
Quarrie. ,
During the attempted turning
movement a contingent OF Unit
ed States engineers rendered dis
tinguished services.
SHELLS VACANT TOWN
Masnieres three miles south
OF Cambria and mile south of
Rumiily was one of the positions
which General Byng ordered
evacuated. This they did not dis
cover until some time after the
British had all departed to a
stronger and better protected po-
sltion, but continued Smelling the
town and wasting hundreds of
shells upon the vacant and de-
serted village. ....... ....,l. e.
ATTACKS FRUITLESS
Little change resulted on the
Italian front during yesterday.
The usual attacks were made on
the Northern front which result
ed as before in no gain of terri
tory for the Teutons but in heavy
losses in killed and wounded. In
the other sectors of this war
theatery there, were no engage
ments other than of artillery.
