Killed Husband for Baby's Sake
 Saus WidOW Of Jack De SGuLLes

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Amid an hys- terical flood of tears, Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, Chilean beauty who married Jack De Saulles, Yale athlete and club man, and then killed him in the hope that she would thus regain possession of her four-and-one-half year old boy, recited a story of her sufferings to her lawyer, Harry A. Uterhart, that brought him to his feet, saying:
 If l cannot gain your freedom on such evidence, I'll surrender my H. cense to practice law"
 And thus Uterhart retold her story:
 Three months after Jack De Saulles married her." the lawyer said, she discovered that he married her solely for the money he thought she had. When he learned she had in her own right only s1O0,0OO he began a cam paign of neglect and abuse that broke her spirit and heart.
 Aided by Chilean Law
 He took advantage of the Chilean law, the law that gives to husband. no matter how worthless or dishonest, absolute control of everything his wife possesses. He sold without her knowl- edge and without her consent S1O,0OO worth of gas bonds, and laughed in her face and pointed to the law when she asked why he had not consulted her.
 She showed me cheeks indicating her gifts to him of money. She gave him s3S,OO0 in cash and received Tn re- turn the receipted bills for clothes for women whom he entertained in her own rooms.
 He did everything except break her face with his fists. He went so far as to wait until little Jack, Jr., and the servants were present to roar at her:
 "'Well, why in - don't you get out. No one wants you here, anyway.
 And for all this she stood patiently and dry-eyed for one purpose-that she might have her baby; that she might find some way to take her baby to Chile and have done with America and Jack De Saulles.
 Has Only s5o,ooo Left
 This is her story told to me coday. It is the story she will tell the jury. It is the story that she will advance as her reason for killing the man who took her, a 17-year-old girl, from her home to drag through the most hideous five years that cultured woman ever experienced.
 "She was not wealthy. Today she has a little more than s50,000, all in vested in Chile. From that she has an annual income of $4000. Her grand mother. Madame Vergara had millions but she had, too, four sons, who spent those millions. Mrs. De Saulles' moth CT has a fortune. but it is not large.
 "It was about the time when Jack De Saulles was organizing the Wilson College Mems league that he got SS5, 900 from his wife. What he did with it all she does not know. except that most of it was spent on Broadway and the white light district.
 Borrowed Money for Wedding
 She refused to believe that the flashing American. whom she loved had borrowed the money to take hin

prominent part in the political
 history of the Western European
 nations. There seems to be no doubt that in prehistoric times the whole valley of the great river was peopled with various Celtic tribes, for they have left many traces of them- selves, among the names of various great cities, such as Mainz and Worms. When the curtain first lifts on history however, the Celts are seen retreating steadily westward before the Oncom- ing Teuton hordes from the wilds of Central Europe. This movement prob ably began somewhere about the fourth century B. C., and it was not held up for any length of time until the advent of the Romans, Julius Caesar, however, stemmed the tide, and Augustus, who followed Caesar in his great conquest in Gaul, quickly saw the strategic Importance of the Rhine, and devoted himself, as did all his successors, to its fortification to the utmost extent.
 The result of the Roman occupation was that the left bank, or the Roman bank, developed enormously in its civ ilization, and to this day the traces of the Romans, and ecqueducts, and the various other remains, as those to be found, for instance, at Trier. Ulti- mately, of course, when the empire began to decline and the strength of u Roman positions on their frontiers was so reduced that they steadily yielded at various points to pressure from without, the Rhine land was quickly invaded by the Teutons, who, pressing forward into Gaul, overran the whole country Tho river thus be- came a German river. and it's valley, along with the rest of Gaul, sank into condition of semi-barbarism, until its civilization was revived in the eighth century by Charlemagne, who had his seat of government at Aix-la-Chapelle.
 In the next reign, Charlemagne' dominions were divided and the Rhlne at first formed the boundary between i Germany and the mIddle kingdom of Lotharingia. This condition of things obtained until S70, wnen the Rhine valley became entirely German terri tory, the frontier of the German do minions being pushed on westward be yond the river. Thereafter, the Rhine valley remained a German possession for over 800 years. and it was not un | til Louis XIV's famous crop in 1861 when he captured the city of Stras burg. that the French again gained a footing in the valley. By the peace oi Ryswick, in 1897, the whole of the Reichland was ceded to France, and the Rhine. once more. became the frontier between the two countries This idea of a France which coincid ed with the Gaul of Caesar. having tho Rhine as its frontier. was one very dear to the hearts of the Frenchmen and in 1901 it's delimitation was thu; confirmed. In 1915. however, the low CT part of the Rhine valley was cedet
 to Germany. and, as all the world knows. after the war of 1S7O-71. by th'
 annexation by Germany of Alsace Lorraine. the Rhine became once agaiI
 "a German river and not German frontier.'

DISTANCES INCIDENT
 TO BOMBING FLIGHTS

Following are the distances to strategic bases in Germany with corresponding distances between certain American cities) and rec ords of some long distance non- stop flights:
 Grimsby, England, to Keil canal, 40 miles (New York to Buffalo.)
 Spaulding, England, to Berlin, 5SO miles, (New York to Cleve- land).
 London to Hamburg, 657 miles; to Berlin. TAG miles.
 London to Essen, Duesseldorf and Mulheim, 500 miles (Norfolks Va, to Albany, N. Y)
 Bar le Due, France, to Essen. Dusseldorf and Mulheim, 235 miles (New York to Boston,.
 Ipswich, England, to Zeebrugge, Belgium. 91 miles (New York to Philadelphia.
 Miss Ruth Law covered a dis tance of 590 miles in her flight from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y., on November 19, 1916.
 Victor Carlstrom covered 452 miles in his flight from Chicago to Erie, Pa, in the same month. Also made a flight from Washington to New York 1886 miles by his route.)
 Lieut.. Marchal of France flew over Berlin on June 20, 1916, when flying from Nancy to a point in Russia Poland (more than 800 miles). He dropped proclamations instead of bombs upon Berlin.

and make their flight to the nest of German battleships and submarines and return in safety or seek refuge in Denmark.
 Attacks upon Bremerhaven, Will helmshaven and Emden can be made in the same way-by releasing sea planes from warships. It may not prove a very difficult task to send fleet of airplanes from point on the eastern coast of England, just above Norwich, to Wilhelmshaven. It Is only the distance from Washington to Stamford, Conn.,, from some well pro tected aero base back of Cromer, Eng land to the German coast. Carlestrom, in one of his shorter flights went from Washington to New York, and after landing with his passenger at Sheeps- head Bay, he said he could have gone a much greater distance.
 An attack from England, on Berlin, would be a much more difficult task. Flyers have covered that distance, however, and since far greater interest has been developed in airplanes with in the past few months, it is likely that more powerful engines can be put in use than the one used by Ruth Law in her flight from Chicago to New York. The distance from a point on the English coast east of the fishing village of Spalding to Berlin is about that from New York to Cleyeland-5SO miles. Miss Law covered 590 miles in her flight from Chicago to Hornell' N. Y., without stopping.
 Map Makes It Clear.
 If you run your eye down the Eng fish coast opposite neutral Holland across which the allies, of course, dc not send their air fighters-being, un like the Germans, respecters of neu trality-it will be seen that it should be easy to send airplanes from lp swich to Zeebrugge, the principal base in the captured territory of Belgium for U-boats. It is like taking a run from Philadelphia to New York to fly from Ipswich to Zeebrugge. British aviators have made several raids up on Zeebrugge, and reports have come to hand of many U-boats destroyed. | the British army fails to push north ward and force German retirement from the Belgian coast it is very like ly, milit3ry men say, that airplane' will soon dron hombs by the thousands upon that and other nearby harbors Nestled behind Holland, however are three military bases which the al [ lies would risk much to smash. These are Essen, Mulheim and Duesseldorf Great gun works and intuition plant' are maintained in these three cities Raids have been made by French ant British airmen. but never in such force as to do great damage so far as re Dorted. To get at the little nest Q munition plants from London the avi ators would have to travel 800 miles the distance from Norfolk. Va, to Al bany, N. Y.
 The shortest route to be followed ty such fleet of airplanes would b. over Ostend, Brussels and Liege, pos sibly, thence northeast over Ak l.; Chapelle. Carlstrom's flight iron Chicago to Erie, Pa, on November 1916, was nearly the distance tha must be covered-452 miles. A. Ses
