GERMANS THROWN BACK
 ALONG ELEVEN MILE FRONT On the chenin- des- Dames-Left the Ground Strewn With Their Dead.

French Front in France. Wednesday, July 4.-After their strongest offensive effort since Verdun, the Germans found themselves today thrown back everywhere along an eleven mile front on the Chemin- -des -Dames. leaving the ground thickly strewn with their dead and having failed to take even one French soldier prisoner.
 The French lines remained intact and the French commanding general, who watched the operations through out from the front trenches, was a able to declare tonight that not a single yard of territory had been lost.
 The Germans came forward every where in the closest formation and In successive waves, preceded by the famous shock troops, who were mOwn down.
 At the first onslaught in the vicinity of Cernv and on the California plateau the French were obliged to give way, but their yielding was only momentary and a counter attack remedied the slight dent Immediately and in addi- ton gave them possession of some of the German trenches in the vicinity of Cerny, which they held. The German infantry appeared to have all the dash taken out of them by the French de- fense and made no attempt to regain the ground lost by the French reac- ton. Their artillery throughout the day, however maintained a sweeping fire but it's effects were minimiZed by the enemy's lack of observation points.

CORONER BILL INVESTIGATES
 SMITH SHOOTING CASE
Child Witnesses Tell Story Corrobo- = rating That of George A. Pratt, Who Fired Fatal Shot.

Coroner Arthur G. Bill continued Thursday his investigation of the cir the evening of the Fourth of Robert Smith, who was killed by a bullet from a .22 calibre revolver that was being fired by George A. Pratt
 MT Bill and Attorney J. F. Car penter. Putnam, counsel for Mir. Pratt, visited the Pratt home Thursday morning. looked over the place in the backyard, where the shooting took place, and interviewed children who were playing about with the Smith boy at the time he was shot
 Mir. Bill found the children who were present at the time of the shoot ing intelligent little witnesses and they furnished him very clear tale of their stories being in accord with Mir. Pratt's narrative of how the ac- cident occurred.
 They said that MT. Pratt sat on the back door step shooting at a metal pail that he had set up about Is feet 2way for use as a target. Mir. Bill took possession of the pail which is perforated with about a dozen bullet Eoles- The Smith boy was watching the shooting, as were a number of other children who were playing near by and just as Mir. Pratt leveled the revolver to shoot Robert Smith rush ed into the line of fire which he was going to try to cross. He was shot.
 
 had not decided what course 10 pur- sue in dealing with Mir. Pratt, who remained in custody at the police sta tion, having failed to secure a bonds man.
 MT. Bill. while scoring Mir Pratt for gross recklessness in the use of a death dealing weapon under such cir cum stances as marked the accident, said he was very doubtful whether the prisoner could be held for manslaugh- ter with much hope of securing his ul- innate conviction on such a charge.
 Several such cases have been tried in Windham county and not a con- viction has been secured. juries being inclined to give great weight to the lack of intention to kill.
 MT. Pratt can, of course. be fined, but not severely punished for the manner in which he was using the revolver. While being undecided as fo just how to deal with the case, MT. Bill said that he did not propose to allow such a case to go by unnoticed and that some means would be found to properly deal with it.
 MT. Pratt is much broken up by the affair He has to his credit, however. the fact that he made a clear and truthful statement of just what took place.
 Much sympathy was expressed for him by many friends. who remember how terribly inured he was on Aug. | 1914. when automobile truck of the Ouinebaug Lake Ice company on which he was riding was struck by a passenger train at the Franklin street crossing.
