French Headquarters in France,
June ll.--(Na Ottawa).-The enc
my succeeded, at an immense cost,
in pushing his advance from mile
TO three miles deeper into the allies
front yesterday. At Marqueglise
the southermost point OF the salient,
he was about seven miles from his
starting point.
The fighting was almost unprece-
dented in fury yesterday. The Ger
mans, continuing to attack in com
pact masses, were moved down by
the allied gunfire. Wave succeeds
wave in the attack, and when po-
sition is finally taken by the enemy
it is frequently promptly retaken by
the French. In these counter-at-
tacks the French invariably find the
ground Uttered with German dead,
the bodies often lying in heaps.
The Germans, it is estimated, had
used between twenty and thirty di-
visions up until last night. As the
enemy's advance is slow, he is able
to bring up his light artillery, while
the heavier guns still are being fired
from their old positions.
The artillery strength of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun FIRE Of the French is more eff
fective because the French are more
familiar with the ground.
The hcrceness of the fighting and
the inflexible determination with |
which the enemy accepts his shock
ing losses indicate that he is deter
mined to continue until complete
victory or complete exhaustion en-
sues in the decisive battle OF the
year.

Commissioner Enright said his de-

the police and the habitual loafers will
receive ample warnings.
There is one unusual feature in this
law said Commissioner Enright, land
this makes it easier to enforce it. The
burden of proof does not lie with the
arresting officer, but with the man ar
rested. We don't have to prove that
the man is an idler. The man has to
prove that he has a job. In other
words, man arrested under the Rob-

guilty until he establishes his inno-
cence."

]. J. O'Leary Fails
In Plea to Reduce
His 100000 Bail
Judge Hand Denies Peti-
ton Made Under Writ of
Habeas Corpus

John j. O'Leary, brother of the
anti British agitator, jeremiah
OLeary, fugitive from justice, was de-
MED a reduction of his 100000 bail
yesterday in the Federal District Court

John OLeary was taken in custody
last Sunday charged with having aided
his brother in running away. !Jeremiah

the publication of Bull" a paper de-
MED the use of the mails.
Colonel Thomas Felden counsel for
the OLearys, argued for a reduction
of the bail. The government was rep
resented by United States Attorney
Earl Barnes, who vigorously opposed
the petition.
OLeary was brought from the Tombs
on writ of habeas corpus signed by
Federal Court Judge John Knox on
Wednesday. Mr.. Fielder made a long
plea for the reduction of the bail. de-
claring that it was Infamous to hold a
man IN Sucn excessive ball TOR q crime
which carried with it a penalty of only
two years in prison on conviction.
When Mr.. Barnes explained to Judge
Hand that the defendant was accused
of not only assisting his brother to es-
cape, but also of being associated with
him IN spreading most dangerous and
lnsldlous propaganda against the gov
ernment, the petition was denied and
OLeary sent back to the Tombs.
The trial of jeremiah OIearv.
Adolph Stern, Luther S. Bedford and
the Bull Publishing Company was
called yesterday and postponed indefi-
nitely Search has failed to reveal
Jeremiah O'Leary's whereabouts. When
the case was called on May 20 Leary's
bail of $4,000 was declared forfeited.
He was last seen on May 8, at the
Office of his brother John.
