A prisoner, who later showed evil
dence of insanity, was locked up at the
city Jail late Wednesday night and yes
tcrday morning was turned over to
the county authorities, where he will
be held pending his examination by a
lunacy board. He is a white man, and
is a practical stranger here.
When locked up, it was stated, he
appeared to be under the influence of
liquor, for it was stated that he had
been drinking. Placed on the second
floor of the city Jail, he soon became
quiet.
An hour or so later, another white
prisoner was taken to the second floor
and was just being incarcerated when

the bulb had burned out. the white
man was placed just within the cell

head of the second prisoner, bucket,

flooring his assailant, 1t was said, did
the new prisoner escape further pun

on his head was of such a nature, it
was said, that the prisoner was unable
to appear and defend his own case yes

Although the Germans in the last
three days apparently have advanced
at a rate of about five miles day.
there has been nothing to indicate any
danger of a break through, along the
whole front of attack. 1t is apparent
that General Foch has so thoroughly
welded the two armies that there ap-
pears little danger of rupture.
Officers here believe that reserves
from the Somme front reaching the
Aisne sector in strength and reserves
that have been held in the region of
Paris will stop the thrust within a
very few days at most.
The difficulty facing General Foch,
it is said, is determining to just what
extent he may use the reserves at
the Somme and Flanders front to
block the attempt on the Aisne line.
1t is believed here that the real pur-
pose of the German high command is
to force a withdrawal of reserves
from the Picardy battle theatre which
would permit of a renewal of the at
tack there in the Amiens sector. The

fidelity and trust remained loyal to
their obligations and the order for more
