RAYMOND MCGEE CONVICTED;
SENTENCE DEFERRED BY COURT

RAYMOND MCGEE, of Mckee City,
was convicted by a jury before Judge
Ingersoll in the Criminal Court at
Mays Landing on Monday of highway
robbery. The charge was made by
Harry Smith, of Philadelphia, a Wis
itor, who testified that he was accost-
ed on the Boardwalk by a woman
whom he later learned was McGee's
wife, and she induced him to accom-
pany her to Mortified.
Leaving the station they walked a
short distance up the roadway, which
has but a few houses, and surrounded
by woods. MCGEE appeared with a
mask and revolver. Smith stated that
MCGEE demanded his money, and he
handed over $46. The money was re-
covered, SAG being found in cash on
McGee's person and a 500 note was
sewed in the seam of his trousers.
MCGEE did not show any recognition
of his wife. She returned to Atlantic
City with Smith and escorted him to
police headquarters, where they re-
ported the robbery. When examined
apart, the wife told a conflicting story,
which caused the police to make an
investigation, and upon ascertaining
she was McGee's wife they arrested
him When the money was found he
is alleged to have made a confession
to the police.
On the witness stand MCGEE claim
ed that he had suspicious of his wife.

SWEEP TOWARD
YPRES STOPPED

NORTHERN PORTION OF BATTLE
LINE IN FLANDERS is STILL
ARLAZE WITH DESPERATE
FIGHTING in PROGRESS.

Hindenburg's sweep toward Ypres
and also his drive in the south, has
been checked, temporarily at least, by
a wall of human bodies interposed by
the British and French.
The whole northern portion of the
Flanders battle front from the Lys
river TO Ypres and the Confines ca
nal, is oDlaze with desperate fighting,
but the enemys advance, after pro-
longed and bloody struggle that car
ried them through the barrier of hills
and down on the lowlands, has been
held at point southwest of Voorno'
zeele This village is less than two
miles south of Ypres.
In Picardy Franco-British forces not
only continue to block the Teuton
thrust toward Amiens, but are improv-

man prisoners had been taken in the

H|NDENBURG IS
STILL KILLING
HIS OWN MEN
TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER OF TEU.
TONS WITH SMALL GAINS LIKE
LY TO RESULT In UNDOING OF
GERMAN ARMIES.

NEW YORK, April 27.-J. w. T. Ma
son, war expert for the United Press,
reviews yesterdays results on th1
western battle front, as follows:
Won Hindenburg's renewed pressure
on the front between Ypres and Habe-
brouck after the recent heavy German
casualties, is still another indication
cf the growing realization in Germany
that the present situation in the west
is not exerting its expected influence
upon the ending Of the war.
By securing a footing on Mount
KENNEL, the Germans have added diff
ficulties to the British defense of the
Ypres salient, but have not placed in
any peril the British forces defending
that area. The British line continues
intact. 1t is in perfect position for
another moderate retirement, if it be-
comes necessary to exchange still a
little more ground for a further
slaughter of German man power. The
key to the entire west front situation
at the moment is the impossibility for
ron Hindenburg to stop his efforts
without confessing the ruin of his
great plan to end the war before
Americas military strength can be
brought to bear. There is every rea-
son for confidence in General Foch's
ability to prevent this by compelling
the uninterrupted payment of German
casualties on a continuously high
scale.
Won Hindenburg has not yet reached
his Moscow, but the basis of the strate-
gy that overthrow Napoleon in Russia
is now being used by General Foch
under modern conditions. Won Hin
denburg's progress in the west will
eventually exhaust him, through the
too costly expenditure of human lives,
Just as Napoleon progressed but lost
lis man-power in Russia. Won Hin
denburg, however, will not abandon
his quest yet. He has become the vic
tim of his own ruthless machine. He

Situation is ExtremeIy Grave.

LONDON, April 27-Ed L: Keen,
United Press staff correspondent at
London, says that diplomatic lnfor-

extreme gravity of the German-Hol-
land situation.
Germany has made demands which
mean abandonment of Hollands neu-
trality, if that nation yields, and the
Netherlands government finds itself
between the devil and the deep blue
sea. Holland fears to forsake its
neutrality, and the aggressive tone of
the German press indicates Germany
will not recede from the course by
which that government means to de-
liberately pick quarrel with Hol-
land.
