GERMAN LINES WIPED OUT
BY AMERICAN FIRE.

After American Gunners Shelled Po-

Land and Found First and Second
Lines Wiped Out.
With the American Army in FRANCE,
Thursday, March 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press) Enemy first and sec
ond line positions on a part of the
sector east Of Lunville have been de-
stroyed completely by American ar
tillery fire. After the raid into the
German positions last night the
American gunners shelled the posi-
tions heavily all night and this MORN
ing. Today a patrol without assls-
tance form the artillery crossed No
Mans Land and found that the first
and secondli mes had been wiped out.
The patrol also obtained additional
information and returned without cas-
ualties, the Germans apparently hav-
ing decided not to molest them.
Artillery firing by both sides or
this sector continued all day.
On the sector northwest of Toul a
number of Germans deserted last
night and surrendered to an Amerl-
can patrol in a certain wood. The
Germans approached the Americans

The next day, according to the de-

80 wounded while taking out the dead
American intelligence officers art
inclined to doubt the story regarding
900 projectors. American information
is that only 75 were used.
An American patrol last night en-
tered the enemy first line and remain
ed there six hours but did not see any
of the enemy. It is reported that thu
Germans recently had constructed
trenches that are concrete half way
up on the side.
Great activity continues behind ths
enemy lines. Within the last foul
days, number Of rock crushers ant
concrete mixers have been brough
and there are signs that the German!
intend to construct a number Of new
pill boxes opposite the American
front. Several trains of material have
arrived at towns in the German line!
during the last "a hours.
Today's reports say that three Ger

break and fired their machine guns OF
our positions. Their efforts, however

O'Leary Charges
Court Is Trying
To Railroad Him
Editor Attacks Judge Cush-
man, Asserting He Is Not
Getting Fair Trial

jeremiah OLeary, editor and law
yer, on trial i'll the Federal District
Court charged with conspiring to vio-
late the espionage act, turned on Judge
Cushman yesterday and charged him
with showing prejudice. He further
asserted that the attitude of the court
indicated that he was not to be given
a fair trial, and that he was under the
impression that the government con-
telnplated "railroading" him to Jail.
O'Leary made his attack when Judge
Cushman directed him to consume less
time in the examination of Clarence
Milius, cotton broker, Of 81 Worth
Street, the first talesman called.
"fhe courts attitude is indicative
that you are not going to give me a
fair trial." shouted the defendant "I
am not going to be railroaded, and
demand JUSTICE
O'Leary charged that the authorities
were so anxious to "ralroad" him that
lrishmen from the panel of Jurors
called.
81 am the man they are trying to
sentence to prison for 100 years" lie
continued, facing the twelve prospec-
tive juRrs. "We can't have Justice in
this case if there is haste | have
patiently waited in ial four months
1or this trial and | want justice. | am
an American citizen and | demand IL"
Judge Cushman interrupted OIearv
and gave three minutes to him to com
Tlete the examination Of the Juror. IN
stead of continuing. he renewed his
attack on the method of selecting the
jury list.
IT find the names of men like O'Dou-
nell and others Of my race stricken
from this original panel" OTearv
said. "The list first contained 900
names, and now there are only fifty
five on 1t. If Irishmen are good enough
to fight for this country they are good
enough 20 serve on a jury
The clerk of the court had eSp]ained
that many of the men called were sery-
ing as Jurors in trials in other parts
OF the building, which, he said. ac
counted for the reduction of the list
The entire day was taken in the ex-
animation of talesmen. Only seven
tentative jurors were in the box when
court was adjourned. The trial will be
continued to-day
