GREATEST STROKE OF WAR.
The victory was regarded as one of
the greatest strokes of the war. 1t was
achieved because British strategists
had the courage to try something new
in the catalogue of war.
General Byng and his co workers SO
minutely worked out the battle plan
that they had cavalry massed and
ready for action. A few days ago a
leader would have been dubbed insane
had he figured on utilizing mounted
forces against trench works. But
Byng figured it--and he figured right.
OFFICIAL REPORTS TODAY
TOLD OF HOW IN MANY CASES
THEY RODE FULL TILT AT THE
CHARGE ON GERMAN ARTILLERY.
SABERING THE GUNNERS AND
CAPTURING FIELD PIECES. Cav
airy was credited with the capture of
the villages of Marcoing and Masni-
eres.
Hundreds of tanks participated in
the battle and once again these scaly
monsters proved their worth.
RAIN AGAIN HINDERS.
There apparently couldn't be a Brit
ish drive without inclement weather.
When the British started on Tuesday
morning it was fine and clear, but to-
days front dispatches reported cold,
drizzling, incessant rain.
This Is the first time in this war
that any commander has been able to
mass gigantic forces of men, of wag-
ons, of such numbering monstrosities
as tanks and of cavalry without the
enemy discovering that maneuver.
TT was this blindness of the Ger
man army, coupled with one brief dis
patch from the front today stating
| that only five German airplanes had
| been seen on the whole Hindenburg
line-40 miles from Drocourt to ST.
| Quentin as the crow flies-that reused
great interest here today. The blind
ness likewise indicated that the eyes
of the powerful German spy system
had been likewise put out.
THE ENEMY BLINDED.
1t seemed to be established today
that the vaunted Hindenburg line was
a mere papier mache bulwark against
the British onslaught; that England
supremacy in the air has blinded the
Boche view; that the Teutonic espion-
age scheme can be frustrated, that the
tanks are we'll nigh irresistible; that
the Boche Is a lost individual when he
| is surprised; that England's military
| leaders are not afraid of bold Napol-
comic strokes even if they violate pre-
! cedent.

Scathing Arrangement of
Mrs. De Saulles by Dis
trict Attorney After Com
pletion of Jury"

Mineola, l.. l., Nov. 22.-Denounced
as deliberate murderess, Mrs. Blanca
De Saulles, white and wide eyed, sat
in Justice Manning's court here this
afternoon and heard District Attorney
Weeks demand that she be sent to the
electric chair for killing her former
husband, John Longer De Saulles,
clubman, politician and former Yale
football player
She shot him in the back and said
she hoped he would die exclaimed
Weeks in his opening statement.
DEFENDANT ASToUNDED.
Mrs. De Saulles had taken little in
terest in proceedings. But this after
noon she listened, astounded at the in
dictment drawn against her.
This defendant is a native of Chile.
She was married to De Saulles in
Paris said Weeks.
They had one child. They were di-
vorced in 1916. The decree awarded
the child to the father five months of
the year and to the mother seven
months of the year.
AGREEMENT ON CUSTODY.
I'VE will show you that by express
agreement and consent this arrange
ment was changed so they could al
ternate in having the child, This de-
fendant agreed to this. on the day of
the shooting the custody of this child
was rightly with the father according
to the new agreement"
He described the scene of the shoot
ing, the De Saulles house at West
bury.
This woman telephoned her former
husbands house the night of Aug. 8,
Weeks went on. She was told De
Saulles was out but would return in
an hour. She called three times for a
taxicab. When it arrived she told the
driver to take her to the De Saulles
house as fast as he could.
DESCRIBES SHOOTING.
"She went into the living room. De
Saulles arose from the couch and came
toward her. He held out his hand.
She demanded the boy. He said the
boy was rightly with him and turned
his back. She fired five shots and one
hit him in the back and caused his
DEATH" After the killing and when
Mrs. De Saulles was under arrest, the
automobile in which she was being
conveyed stopped before graveyard
Weeks declared.
And she said How lucid that we
should stop here"
And then she asked; will they cleo
trocute me right away"
CAREFULLY PLANNED.
Weeks charged Mrs. De Saulle
showed cold thought and planning
throughout the killing.
"She used servants, automobiles and
money" he asserted, pointing at her
Her revolver had a safety catch. II
was necessary to release this catch
before firing each shot. But she did 1t
1t was a deliberate murder and we
shall ask for verdict as such from
YOU"
As Weeks made his final demand for
death of the Chilean beauty, she raised
her head defiantly and glared at him
A flush came over her pale cheeks.
The jury was completed at noon and
a recess was taken until 1880. when
District Attorney Weeks began his
statement.

"FORTY REASONS WHY"
Mackay Minister
Returning to Fold

The new minister at Mackay whose
unexpected and rather mysterious
departure some time ago stirred the
town to unusual excitement, is re-
ported to be returning. He was a
belated arrival at an Epworth league
convention at Big Springs on the
fifth of August, and his wife passed
thru Blackfoot, Wednesday morning,
returning to Mackay by rail. She
said her husband had not left the
country, and that reports to that eff
feet were all yarn; that such
stories originating in Mackay were
made up, and that they were all a
bunch of liars out there anyway.
She stated that she would be back
in Blackfoot soon and would give
particulars of the Incidents.

IDAHO LOOKS BEST

About a month ago Mr.. and Mrs,
John Lensman, Peter Lensman and
G.. A. Lensman, who for some time
had resided at Groveland moved with
all their household goods to South
Dakota. They had contemplated
buying big stock ranch and making
their home in that state, but there
were so few trees, the days and
nights were so hot and shortly after
arriving there they greeted with a
terrific hail storm. Consequently
have returned to Idaho and expect
to make their home in Blackfoot,
because, they say, in their travels
they have seen no place that looks
quite as fine and prosperous.
