authorities whom we consider
entirely conservative estimate the
Texas wheat crop from 100000 to
l2,OOO,OOO bushels and the oats at
approximately 50,OO0,O00 bushels, :"
the report said. The yield i. greatly

correspondents advise these crops
are doing nicely.

Former Presidential Candidate Tried
for Violating Espionage Law.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 12.-Eu-
gene V. Debs, charged with violating
the espionage act, was found guilty
by Federal jury to-day.
Talking to newspaper men after
the verdict Debs said:
1T is all right. l have no COM
plant to make. 1t will come out all
right in Gods good time"
OF the original ten counts of the
indictment but four remained when
the jury retired to consider the evi-
dence. The verdict found him guilty
of three; not guilty Of one. He was
found guilty of attempting to inci,e
insubordination, disloyalty, ETC., in
the military and naval forces; at
tempting to obstruct recruiting and
uttering language tending to incitc,
provoke and encourage resistance to
the United States and promote the
cause of the enemy.
The count on which he was ad-
judged innocent charged that no op-
posed the cause Of the United States.
Fair, Both Sides Admit.
Counsel for both sides said that
they considered Judge Westenhaver's
instructions fair. They were ex-
haustive and couched in simple Ian
guage and delivered in a kindly man
ner, required one and half hours.
He made no comment on the evi-
dence. which presented by the gov
ernment, was affirmed By the defend
ant, but>assured the jury that the es-
pionage act was wholly valid.
The jury was out five and a half
hours. mostly spent in assimilating
the fine distinctions between the
four counts. Spectators remained in
the court room throughout. When
1T was announced that the jury was
ready to report the crowds began to
increase. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes,
herself under conviction on SINH
lar charge, came inside the railing.
Previously, at Debs' request, she had
remained hidden in the audience.
She drew her chair beside his and
into her hands he slipped his own
gaunt hand, where it remained while
the clerk was reading the verdict and
polling the jury. She had expected
an adverse verdict from the first,
admitting 1t to her friend. Nor was
1t surprise to Debs. In his address
TO the jury he said he had not one
word to retract. and rather went out
Of his way to accept the St. Louis
anti-war platform.
The maximum penalty is 20 years
Imprisonment and a fine of $4,000.

Uso OF Soldiers and Marines Not
Judged Legal or Wise.

Washington, Sept. II. - While
condemning the use OF soldiers and
sailors in the "slacker round-ups" in
New York City as contrary to law,
Attorney General Gregory in letter
to President Wilson said the Depart
mcnt Of Justice, unless specifically
ordered to the contrary by the Prcsi-
dent, would continue to throw out
dragnets for slackers.
Soldiers and sailors and certain
members of the american Protective
League were employed in the raids,
the Attorney General said, by repre-
senatives Of the Department OF Jus
tice, who acted without warrant Of
authority. Mr.. Gregory added, how
ever, that he was satisfied they had
been led into this breach through ex-
cess Of zeal for the public good.
Mr.. Gregory, who was writing in
reply to a request from the Presi-
dent for all the Facts in connection
with the roundups, said an investi-
CATION conducted by him convinced
him that tho number of persons over
or under the draft age who had been
apprehendcd was inconsIderable, that
there was no disorder anywhere, and
that no persons were known to have
been assaulted or mistreated.
Besides being unlawful, Mr.. Greg
ory said tho employment Of members
Of the military forces and of private
organizations in making the arrests
was ell Judged" He added that un-
questionably a considerable number
Of persons, who on the showing made
by them should not have been ar
rested, were detained-none, how
ever, over night.

American officer who was wounded
during the hottest part of the battle
relates that small French detach-
ment found itself in difficulties in a
wood full Of machine guns.
Without waiting for orders, the
Americans advanced spontaneously,
and, reaching the rear Of the wood,
fell on the enemy and slaughtered
the gunners on their weapons.
According to La Liberte, at the
capture of certain town the first
officer to enter at tho head Of his
troops was Capt. Michael Clcmen-
ceau, son OF the French prime minis
ter. This town was Stubbornly de-
Tended by two German divisions,
great numbers Of whom remained as
prisoners, in addition to the large
number killed.
France Thrilled.
Paris. Sept. l3.-News Of Ameri-
cas- first independent offensive on
the western front has thrilled France.
The newspapers print the battle
dispatches IN the largest type and
accompany them with maps and en-
plantations regarding tho ground
fought over. No one doubts that the
effort was crowned with full success.
Editorial writer's pay tribute to
the moderation OF Gen. Pershing's
official communication, which alb
stained from mentioning the villages
regained or surrounded in the impos-
ing advance.
There had been rumors for weeks
OF coming American offensive, va
rious sectors being given by those
well informed" but as nothing
came, the people thought Of some
thing else. and to-day's news lost
nothing Of its effect on this account.

American forces this morning
launched an attack on the German
positions. At 0 o'clock they had
progressed generally along the line.
Some prisoners were taken at differ
ent parts Of the sector.
The first wave OF American troops
met with little resistance and at s
O'Clock the second American wave
was in possession OF several points Of
the German first line.
French and American artillery this
morning directed a terrific ,barrage
fire on the German positions on this
front. The reply of the German big
guns was vigorous at some places,
although as whole it was weak.
There are some indications that the
Germans are withdrawing their artil-
lery, although 1t Is more probable
that they are going to fight hard be-
fore being driven out, after enduring
sitting 'barrage Of more than eight
hours.
The Germans at some points are in
creasing the volume Of their big gun
fire, though Intellectually.

to the present. The operation is
still in progress.
American Wounded Arrive.
Paris, Sept. 13.-About a hundred
OF the first American wounded, arriv-
ing in the rear from the ST. Mihiel
sector, give the impression that the
battle was a great victory and full Of
promises for tho future. The Amer
lean troops exhibited splendid dash,
some Of the regiments moving to the
assault with flags flying and singing
the Marseliaise.
One Of the principal points Of sup
port in the enemy's defense was ta-
ken at tho point Of the bayonet De-
spite fierce resistance, the Germans
were completely overthrow and suf-
fered exceptionally heavy losses.
The American units co-operated
splendidly with the French. One
