For the first time the attorneys
for Mrs. Smith indicated what will
be the probable line of defense. i'll
their challenges to vcniremen. Ques-
tions asked by attorneys for Mrs.
Smith were directed to ascertain the
views of veniremen concerning the
right OF person to self-defense, and
whether the prospective jurors be-
lieved that a person had right to
defend his body from physical as
sault. s..
The defense also rejected jurors,
who had ever been involved in legal

c. D. Stoner, Pioneer
Of OsCeoIa, Is Dead

Osceola, Neb., March l4.-(Spe-

GERMAN STRATEGIC
RETREAT NOW ROUT
Destroy Bridges and Munitions
in Preparing to Evacuate
Bapaume and Peronne.
WITHDRAW THE BIG GUNS

Paris, March l4.-Great Importance
is attached by French military writer's
to the continued British successes on
the Somme. The Matn says that ii
looks very much as if the Germans
do not think they could hold Ba-
paume and Peronnc any longer and
are preparing to evacuate the two
cities. Reports from aviators show
that all along their inner lines the
Germans are blowing up bridges and
culverts, burning munitions and pro-
visions while trying to mask the with
drawal of heavy guns by heavy firing
with field guns.
German staff headquarters on the
Sommc front is said to have been
moved back ten miles. The Matin
thinks that the German staff at first
planned strategic retreat, so as to
delay and upset the British plan OF
attack, but that this scheme was frus-
trated by the tactics of General
Cough. Instead, of using cavalry
against his retreating foe General
Cough maintained contact by the
methodical and destructive use of ar
tillery. The result according to the
Matin, was that the Germans were
caught in their own trap and their
retreat, which was at first intentional,
became almost a rout under the con-
tinuous pressure of an adversary SUI
perior in material and initiative.
General Cough, who is mentioned
in the Paris newspapers as the field
commander in the British operations
against Bapaume, is presumably Ma
jor General Hubert De La Poer
Cough, commander of the Third cav
airy brigade. General Cough is an
Irishman and prior to the war, then
a colonel, received prominence as one
of the officers who threatened to re-
sign if British troops were ordered to
force Ulster into acceptance of home
rule. In the ear days Of the war he
was praised by Field Marshal French
for his conduct in the fighting fol-
lowing the battle of the Marne and
was promoted to be major general in
November. 1914.
