Negotiations are In progress be-

Petrograd and its environs were

The most desperate battles were

massed three cossack regiments
and a large force Of armored
cars.
The cossacks, better disciplined
and armed than the bolsheviki,
managed at first to overcome the
disadvantage of smaller numbers.
Their recklessly brave charges re-
peatedly recovered positions.
Finally, however, the Trotsky-
Lenine ministry massed an over

soldiers and the cossaeks were
broken up. They had to surren-

Murder Trial
Opens Monday

Saulles, in concentrating her en-
tire mental and emotional life up
on her son, was doing what thous-
ands of mothers do to their chill
dren: she was threatening to rob
him of his love-life before he had
really begun to live.
Another of the many tragedies
like d. II. Lawrence's story Sons
of Lovers: fastening upon her
child mothers complex, to use
Freud's term. THAT would not
be called murder. But a simple
mechanical act, producing only a
simple and instantaneous death,
will be the sensation of the next
few weeks.
There was something rather
crude and brutal in the assurance
with which Jack De Saulles as
sumed the responsibility of marry
ing woman of so different a
race and tradition from his own.
Or rather, in the way he did not
assume the responsibility: he
seems to have done it with the
same self-assurance with which
he would play the real estate game.
Here Is the situation: Jack De
Saulles, product of a civilization
which obscures all the truths of
life behind q screen of "decency,"
decorum, prudery. or religion
man who has had all the values of
life doped out for him at home
and at Yale behind these screens
he can lightly cope with
the problem of marrying q woman
from a race noted for its primitive
simplicity, q race of people who
believe implicitly what they be-
lieve, and face the facts Of life
barely.
To such a woman matters of
life are very definite and simple:
infidelity is infidelity; the mother
Of q child is the mother Of a child,
etc.
This woman is not mentally
deranged; she is merely following
out the strongest instincts Of her
kind and race: the instinct of the
mother to kill or 0e for her child,
and the instinct of her race for
primitive direct action.
Jack De Saulles brings this
kind of a woman into our civili-
cation and arranges that the
courts, built up on our particular
psychology, shall take her child
away from her. Many normal
women would have acted Just as
she did. But here is a woman
suffering from soul sickness.
This is q ,case for DIR.
Jung's hospital I'm Zurich. 1t
is certainly not q case for
the United States courts. The
Law does not take account of
racial temperament and ira
ditiOn.
This is case that should
be handled with the tender.
est patience amid the subtlest
technique of the greatest art
list doctors of the world, as
should all tragedies Of sex
in conflict with the social
system.
Instead of this, Mrs. De
Saulles will be further tor
tured in the courts, dragged
farther from health, and
probably In the end be coa-
victed for murder. Those
things should not be allowed
to happen.
Mrs. De Saulles is a victim. She
has been outraged In q place
where no one had a right to touch
her. She has been hurt in a part
of her life that must lie forever
outside law courts and justice.

As she entered the house Of her
husband. from whom she was separ-
ated, he met her in the hallway. The
wife demanded that her husband turn
over TO her their Fz-year-old son. He
refused. There was a heated argu-
ment. Desaulles turned to leave his
wife. AS he did the woman whipped
out her revolver and began firing.
With expert Workmanship Mrs. De-
saulles directed five shots into her
husbands body. He spun around on
his heels and dropped unconscious.
Mrs. Desaulles made no attempt TO
escape. She was by far much calmer
and more composed than those who
flocked to the house after the shoot

Mrs. Desaulles was arrested by Sher-

Mrs. Desaulles named two core

One eof them is said to have been an
actress of uncommon beauty. Later
