SOLDIER
STOPS A
SUICIDE

Standing in the corridor rigit
outside the parlor of the Carlton
hotel Sunday afternoon about
3:45 p. M, V. r. Henshall, 35,
said to be a lumber worker from
Shelton, Wash, slashed his throat
with a razor in an attempt to end
his life.
Henshall registered at the hotel
as from city" and was given
room 500. He went directly to
his room, returning a few min
utes later with the razor.
He will recover, tho his condi-
ton was critical Sunday.
Miss Peggy Adams, who is
visiting Tacoma from Detroit and
who was in the parlor of the
hotel when Henshall attempted
suicide, said she saw a man pull
something across his throat and
the next minute saw a razor go
skating across the floor towards
the door about 10 feet away.
Private Nal G. Cromer of
Company II, 364th infantry, sta
toned at Camp Lewis, who was
also In the parlor at the time and
saw the razor fly across the cor
ridor, jumped up and made for
it,
AS he did so, Henshall also
rushed for the razor, appar-
emily intending to slash himself
once more. The soldier strug-
gled with the would-be suicide
and succeeded in throwing him on
his back, where he held him
while Miss Adams ran to the
street and called Patrolman Crop
sey.
Police officers were summoned
to investigate, and Henshall was
rushed to the county hospital.
Henshall stayed at the Carlton
hotel from April 81 last to MAY 2,
when he was arrested on the
street for being drunk, and con-
victed in police court, FORGETTING
a $25 bond.
Miss Christine Matthews, cham
bermaid at the Carlton, who saw
Henshall as he went to his room.
just before he attempted suicide,
said that che appeared very ner-
vous and agitated. His sigma
ture on the hotel register is in
the scrawl Of man laboring un-
der a great nervous strain and is
almost undecipherable.

was hurriedly collected in the
breach and opposed a resistance
which gave time for General Byng
to throw back his right wing. The
junction with the 9Th army was
restored, and both the Sd and 9Th
continued to fall back. The move
ment of the 9Th army was a direct
retreat to the rear but that of the
Sd was much more complicated
a withdrawal by the right, pivot
ing on the left, which stood fast
or almost so in front of Arras.
The right wing had to retreat
some 20 miles, while the left only

fell back from two to eight miles.
Indeed, it seems clear that Otto
Won Bellows army was held stead
lily, and gained ground simply be-
cause General Byng had to con-
form to the retreat of his col
league.
Goug, Three Times Failed.
"As General Coughs retreat be-
came pronounced the French High
Command rushed up reinforce
ments under General Fayolle to
maintain the connection between
the allied armies, which would
otherwise have been lost"
The London New Statesman
says:
THE appointment OF General
Cough to command the army of
this critical sector certainly calls
for explanation. He held two
fighting commands last year---on
the Ancre, when the Germans Sue

himself to the allied reserve, has
been compelled to accept tempo
rary failure and call a halt. His
position is tactically exposed in
two dangerous salients on wa
ter-logged ground Isis country
men are dangerously dissatisfied
at the immense price paid for his
failure to terminate their suffer-
ings. His allies are on the verge
of quarreling and daily exhibit
their growing dislike and distrust
OF the taskmaster who robs them
Of their lives and food.
Reserves Depleted
His reserves have nearly reach
ed complete exhaustion. Those OF
the Franco british are still in
being while the American prepac-
ations develop. The time draws
closer when defeat is inevitable.
Therefore, he must renew the Of
fensiye.
"The allies may have complete
confidence in the result. For the
enemy the issue is desperate en-
deavor to avoid defeat; for the al
lies the issue is only that of victory
deferred. The coming battle may
be a repetition Of Verdun on q

Hobby Told To Drop
Politics Or Drop Out

The policemen who signed as mem
5ers OF the Hobby club had not been
informed Friday that the civil serv-
ice commission had ordered the men
to erase their names from the list,
according to Capt Harry Phoenix.
According to a letter that was said
to have been addressed to the chief
Of police, the commission demanded
that all of the officers who had signed
the list take the names off Of it at
once The commission claimed that
the organization is a political one.
The participation Of any members of
the police department in politics in
any form is prohibited by the civil
service rules
This action on the part OF the COM
mission is said not to be prompted by
opposition to governor Hobby, but
that the action is directed against the
violation of the civil service rules
The commissions letter ends with
the statement that any further viola
ton of this ruling Will cause the Of
