of diagnoses which they made of Mrs.

tragedy on the night of August at
THE Box de Saulles' Long Island
home Their evidence tended to sup
port the Chilean woman's claim that
she was not accountable for her ac-
tions when she fired the revolver shot
which killed her former husband
"Hypothyreosis."
"Hypothyreosis," the disease of the
thyroid gland, which her attorneys
maintain affected the defendant at the
time of the shooting, was frequently
mentioned by the experts. Incidental

Miss Suzanna Monteau, Mrs. de

important bearing on the case.

Nov. 2S.-By The Associated Press
Fontaine Notre Dame is today virtu-
ally no-m mans land over which had
swirled never ending deluge of ma
chine gun bullets from the ranks OF
the opposing forces drawn UP on either
side of this blood -drenched little ham
let. and which now has died down to
small proportions. A bright warm sun
was shining from an almost cloudless
sky, but 1t brought little cheer to the
battle weary German and British
troops. for it only served to throw into
bold relief the awful picture of desc
lation and carnage within the confines
OF this village through which all day
yesterday grim death had stalked
among the contendng warriors.
A City Of Dead.
1t is probable that some parties of
Germans were still clinging to their
secret strongholds among the ruined
buildings and that British euardsmen
were hidden among the cellars at va
rious points. But for the most part
Fontaine Notre Dame was place OF
dead. they lay about the streets to
tell the story of the cruel tragedy en-
acted among them.
" German prisoners from the third
guards division and 46th regiment
were in the British cages this morn
ing as a result 0. the battle and among
the captives was a battalion COM
mander. In addition to the 400 taken
in Fontaine, upwards of 100 were cap
tured in the fighting yesterday about
Bourbon village, where English troops,
cooperating with tanks, made some
advance.

London, Nov. 29.-The second edition
Of the Daily Mail today contains an
apparently mutitated telegram from,
Petrosrad, dated 4 o'clock on Wednes-
day. indicating there mas been . re-
newai Of trouble there. It says there
has been some fighting and that several
persons have been wounded. y
Sunday next has been set by the
Germans as the date for a conference
with the Bolsheviki leaders, for the
purpose OF negotiating an armistice.
The arrangement for the discussion
followed a visit Of representatives of
the Bolshevilti to the German military
authorities on the Teuton side of the
fighting front in Russia. The Ger
mans apparently gave quick acquies-
ence to the proposal OF the Russians
for an armistice looking to an ulti-
mate peace, for only a few hours inter-
vened between the visit of the Rus
slams to the German line and the ac-
ceptance by the Germans of the pro-
position that was made to them.
Allies Viii Not Heed.
While the negotiations are expected
to embrace an armistice, ION all the
fronts of the bclligerent countries" 1t
is certain that the entente allies win
give no heed to the overtures. either
of the Bolsheviki. who comprise the
radical section or the Russians, who
long have desired Russia to cease
fighting. or of the Germans who for
even a greater period have been en-
denvoring to put into operation nego-
tiations for "A peace that would he n
suitable one for themselves and their
allies.
Distrust Germans.
That the Boisheviki leaders are dir
trnstful OF the. Germans. although
they have agreed to enter into nego-
tiatons for an armistice. Is apparent
from the fact that Ensign Krylenko.
the Bolshevil<i commander in chief
has ordered pending the conference.
! that there shall be no fraternizing ON
| the part of the Russians and Ger
mans and advised vigilance and cau-
| tion by the troops.

suit Of Saturdays storm, perhaps
the most destructive ever known in
this section of the state. Great num-

The towns of Hebron and Kouts
were directly in the path Of the tor
nado and the extent of the ravages
there is not known as the towns are

west side of Hebron. The tornado
shattered a big grain elevator, Un-
rooted the Hotel Gordon and then
swept due east 20 Kouts. where so
buildings were wrecked, including
several churches and a big elevator
and a creamery.
Estimates of the property damage
place the amount at 100000 or
more. The towns Of Lowell. Crown
Point, Shelby. Cedar Lake and the
adjoining territory near the Kan
kakee river also were visited by the
tornado. The property damage is ex-
tensive. Communication in most di-
rections is cut off. but enough is
known to make an estimate of 40 in
