Mineola, L. l., Nov. 2s.--Bianca De
Saulles was like woman walking in
her sleep when examined by physicians
just after killing her divorced husband,
John L. De Sanfles, DR.. j. Sherman
Wright testified today.
He declared the Chilean heiress un-
doubtedly had no knowledge of what
she was doing when she fired four bull
let's into De Saulles the night of Au-
gust when he told her she could not
have her child.
H'She took no notice of her surround
ings, = declared DR.. Wright, telling Of
his visit to the Jail "She had a pc
culiar wax-like pallor. The whites of
her eyes had a bluish tinge When l
spoke she did not hear me. Her talk
was vague and confused. / was unable
to find any pulse in her left wrist. Her
heart was very feeble. There was
area on her head. She shrank
when touched her. Her thryoid gland
was withered-her limbs swollen, The
depression in her head was an inch
and a half in diameter, three eighths
Of an inch deep.
'eAugust She had hallucinations-
thought people were IN the room. When
she asked me if her husband would
take the baby, I told her the man was
dead, uut she was not moved
This description was in startling con-
trat to the appearance Of Mrs, De Saul
les on the witness stand, when she
made brilliant sallies at the district
DR.. Wright cited number of symp-
toms of hypothyreosis, from which, he
said, Mrs. De Saulles suffered, and ex-
hibited an X-ray view of her head

Shells containing the powerful as.

the enemy no advantage.

Fight With Desperation
The Prussians seldom fought with such
desperation as they battled last night
and early -vainly, bloodily, fran
tically striving to wrest Bourbon wood
from the British.
Bourbon wood is merely bundle of
sticks now. It's great trees have literally
been splintered by high explosives,
smashed down by tanks, uprotted by
shells. What used to be a pleasant
grove of grateful shade is now bare,

FURTHER SHIPMENT

Evidence Is Seen That New

Washington, Nov. 2S-The United
States and her allies are united in a
stand against any separate peace now.
And while no official statement on
the subject has been made, it was be-
lieved here that the allie have Impress
ed Russia with this thought in the
midst of her mad efforts for an armis-
Itice.
There arc renewed indications that
this government proposes not to ship
any further supplies to Russia until
there exists something more lilte
national government than the Lenine-
Trotsky regime.
The United States is disposed TO
back any stable rule within Russia, but
the belief is growing that the bolshe-
| Wiki group in Petrograd is definitely
drifting toward a separate peace
Hence, there is a disinelination here to
further the Russian cause with sup
plies before the separate peace menace
lis removed.
Indications point to the possibility
lof General Kaledines, Hetman Of the
Don Cossacks, getting the upper hand.
While any government he could estab-
llish would probably tend toward con-
lervatism, he might stabilize affairs
sufficiently to keep the Russian army
lat it's task.
In any event, American and allied
plans are shaped now on the theory
THAT little or no help can be expected
from Russia for months. The best that
can be anticipated is that there will
be no separate peace which would per-
nit Germany to open up Russia as a
storehouse and supply depot for the
Teuton armies.
To this end, it is believed that the
Allies, perhaps from Paris, have sent
word to General Dukhonin s armies in
the form Of warning against the Le-
mine e-Trotsky-Teuton negotiations.
