of Liberty Loan Bond helps the Gov
eminent Of the United States, helps
the citizens Of the United States and
helps the purchaser as well as being at
the same time a splendid private in
0estment.
Moreover every purchaser of Lib

One can not serve his country or
serve his fellow citizens without serv-
ing himself, his family, and posterity.
The purpose of the Liberty Loan Bond

War in an imaginary principality
abroad will be reflected in stirring
battle scenes and inspiring acts of
heroism amid the grave dangers Of
the firing line at the Victor Theatre

WITNESS REFUSES
TO "DEGRADE" SELF
Dora Tanner, in SObs,
Says James w. Osborne
Wooed Her Sister

Whether Charles II. Wax. who says
he is the Oliver Osborne of Rae. Tan
zer's romance, told Joseph Marshall IN
the Tombs that he had never been with
Rae in his life, was the question that
temporarily halted the trial of Frank
lin d. Stafford. in the United States
District Court, yesterday afternoon.
Marshall, under subpoena as a wit
ness for the defence, refused TO answer
BENJAMIN SHADES questions about his
alleged conversation with Wax, on the
ground that il might in.riminate or
degrade him. After half-hour argu-
mcnt by Mr.. Slade and William Rand,
ir.. special assistant prosecutor. Judge
Learned Hand took the matter under
Amusement. lie will decide this morn
ing whether Marshall must answer.
Sir. Sladc referred to the converse
ton during his cross-eXamination Of
Wax. Wax denied it. The first ques-
lions put to Marshall yesterday by Mr.
Slade were: did you see Wax in De-
cember?" and Did you talk to him ?"
Mr.. Slade appealed to Judge Hand to
compel the witness to answer. Mar
shall's attorney, William G. Bowers,
told the court that he had no objection
TO Marshall answering the questions,
but that they were designed. to lead up
TO matters which would incriminate or
degrade his client. The court then
ruled that Marshall must answer the
questions.

"And did you have talk with him =

Marshall declined to answer further,
and was temporarily excused.
Rose and Dora Tanner, sisters OF

nesses produced by the defence yes

came hysterical.

Put Their Views Before

-r1om IN. Tribune bureau ]

Washington, Jan. Is. Presiden'
Wilson's attitude toward universe mil
itary training is much the same as ms
attitude toward a Federal suffrage
amendment he has an alibi
In the case of suffrage he has take"
cover behind the bulwark of his party
platform. Much as he favors mirage
he does not say he favors Feder@i
suffrage he cannot go beyond the
party declaration, which provides that
the suffrage must come state by sta0e'
On the army question he is equally
reticent about his own views. and he
has just as good a reason for IT. lie
takes the position that until some con-
crete plan has been put forth which
shall have the approval of army OK
perts and other classes of preparedness
people and perhaps the pacifsts, too
he cannot form an opinion about it.
The furthest he has ever gone is TO
declare that he favored universal 'vol-
untary" training He did not say how
be expected TO instill a universal
willingness to volunteer into the Amer
lean people, and TO that extent his own
scheme, preparedness advocates say, is
far more impracticsblc than any of the
schemes whose indefntness ne criti.

Hearings May Fix Views
Hearings on the Chamberlain bill
which is described as a sugar-coated

still in progress. Mr.. Wilson has indi-
Gated that his own views might be
formulated on the basis Of what de-
velops from these hearings. The army
people have had a chance and the paci
fists have had several chances. The
latter have put forth their objections
from every conceivable point Of view.
The argument that the system would

WARNS AGAINST AUTO GAS
Mines Bureau Points to Danger OF

Washington. Jan. 1s.-The increas-
ing number Of automobile exhaust as
phyxistions prompted the Bureau of
Mines 10 issue a warning to-day
against operating automobile engines
in small garages with doors and win
dows closed.
I'm the tests conducted" said the
warning. "the air in the garage was
rendered decidedly dangerous after
the automobile engine had been run
ming fifteen minutes. The gas is car
bon monoxide, colorless. odorless and
tasteless, and is extremely poisonous.
The dangerous symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning come almost with

generally proves fatal unless outside

Many times since my return from the
British front / have been asked for
,,stement of the position and for other
l.,.1s of the organization of the forces
.,dsr Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig IN
france. Omitting such facts as for obvi-
ana reasons should not be mentioned,
,,va undertaken in the following article
"a answer many questions that have been
,,ked me. basing them upon the knowl-
,dre acquired during a stay of week at
British General Headquarters.
Al the present moment the BRITISH
.rmies IN France number five, and their
,os;tions are as follows: The First Army,
commanded by General Plumer, occupies
the sector about Ypres, the scene OF the
d.sperate fighting Of October, 1914, and
Of April. 1915. The Second Army, COM
handed by General Horne, faces La
g,sske which is held by the Germans,
and thus stands upon a portion of the
ground that was fought for in the great
struggle of October, 1914. The Third
Army. commanded by General Allenoy'
holds the sector before Arras, including
norton of the battlefield of Foch in 1919
The battlefield of Loos is, l think, within
The lines of the Second Army. The Fourth
Army occupies the front northeast OF
Albert and the scene of the recent ad-
vsnces along the Ancre, as well as OF some
Of the bitterest and least successful phases
Of the British fighting in the Somme bat
fs of last summer. The Fifth Army, COM
handed by General Sir Henry Rawlnson'
Who had the famous Seventh Division IN
the battle of Ypres. extends from south
Of Bapaume, before Peronne, right across
he Somme. do not know whether IT
nav holds the front recently taken over
irn the French, straight down to the
kighvsy from Amiens to Roye, and IN
frrt of this town, which the Germans
hold. but believe so. The Canadians are
with the First Army and hold front east
Of Ypres.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-18

Western front, the famous Ypres salient.
The Germans hold the ground above
Ypres. and, wholly holding the hills to the
cast and south, have direct vision to
roads leading into Ypres, which they shell
all the time. In the second battle of fpres
the British were compelled TO contract
