patriotic holiday been important occasion it
is this year. .H 4s9s +~4
The beginnings of nation significant; the
event we celebrate the Fourth of JuIy-the inde-

history of the world.
But our country is doing today much greater
thing than making beginning; it is carrying
the same great ideal in which our national life was
founded. The cause of free people everywhere.
We should celebrate the day with new cOnsecra-

ELEVEN MONTHS
JAIL SENTENCE

Daniel j. Byron, residing at No. 28S
Cove Road, Cos Cob, was sentenced to
II months in the Fairfield county Jail
by Judge Edwin Thomas of the Fed
eral Court at Hartford yesterday.
Byron, a former resident of Water
bury, deserted his wife and four
small children there in March, 1916.
Since then his family has suffered
great privavtionS and have been de-
pendent upon the Charities Depart
ment of Waterbury.
An investigation by the local De-
bartment Of Justice disclosed that
Mrs. Byron had lived in an clubhouse
without fuel during the greater part
of last winter. Further investigation
showed that Byron had married one
Anna Cudahy of Stamford in Deem
bcr, 1916, and has since lived with her
In Stamford.
In ming his QUESTIONABLE, Byron
swore that he was supporting a de-
pendent and lawful wife. AS this
claim was false, he was arrested by
the Department of Justice, and his
sentence followed yesterday. Byron
was scored by Judge Thomas ant
warned that the State authorities
were likely to try him for bigamy.
Various other draft delinquents
were sentenced from six months to a
year.

GERMANS AGAIN
BOMB PARIS BY
LONG RANCE GUNS

Paris, May 20 - The long range
bombardment of Paris began again
early this morning.
Examination of the shells discharg-
ed by the Germans in the long range
bombardment of Paris which began
again on Monday indicates that new
guns are used. Larger shells are en-
ployed than formerly, the calibre of
the guns being "a centimetre (9h
inches) instead of 81 centimetre. The
powder charge is greater and the de-
tonation is louder, but the force of
the explosion does not seem to have
increased. A shell exploded yesterday
only a dozen yards from a man seat
ed on a bench, and did not injure him.

In Picardy and elsewhere along the
western front there has been no
change. The artillery fire is strong
on important sectors on the northern
end of the line.
Paris, May 29-The French troops
have fallen back to the eastern out
skirts of Scissors, where the battle
continues with bitterness, the French
! war Office announced this afternoon.
Franco-British troops the statement
adds, have fallen back to the heights
south and southeast of st. Thierry,
where they are holding positions be-
tween the Vesle and the Aisne canal.
In the center, continues the war Of
| fee announcement, fighting is going
| on with varying success on the
heights on the southern bank of the
Vesle river, where the French troops
are bravely and admirably defending
| their positions.
American troops to the west of
Montdidier, the French statement
says, have repulsed two German coun-
ter attacks against the village of Can
tigny.
| L oil ID, may AS-GJSu. fOCIl now mas
the situation well in hand and French
troops are beginning to gain on the
German advanced forces in contest
of speed.
No important line of communica-
ton is yet threatened by the advance
of the German crown prince.
Those on the scene declare it is not
too much to say that another 4S hours
will see the German drive definitely
stopped. High praise is given to the
French reserves for the perfect order
in which they are coming into the
fighting line.
Not the least encouraging news yes
terday was the brilliant success of the
Americans in the Montdidier sector
which all the newspapers feature.
1t was the first important action
carried out alone by the Americans.
All reports agree that they behaved
like veterans. This is pronounced the
best augury for the early future when
American help will weigh heavily in
the balance.

One participant in Mondays affair
is said to have been found today in
a. shell hole in No Mans Land with
two wounded Germans ais his prison
ers. He was unable to get back to
the American lines Monday night, so
he stood guard over the Germans I'M
til the attack this morning liberated
him and secured the prisoners to the
Americans.
Lieut.. Irving W. Wood Of Oakland,
Cal, said he did not see one Ameri-
can fall during today's attack.
"It was more exciting than a foot
ball game" he added. I'VE have got
the Huns on the run. All we need is
more Americans and then we shall
lick them"
The Americans penetrated the Ger
man positions to a depth of nearly a
mile. Their artillery completely
smothered the Germans, the roar of
the American guns could be heard for
many miles in the rear. Several fires
are burning behind the German lines.
Twelve French tanks supported the
American infantry.
The German prisoners include men
from a Bavarian and a Silesian regi-
ment, some of them as young as II or
1S and others between As and so. All
are poorly clothed and appeared to be
| underfed.
The Germans trooped out OF their
dugouts when they saw the futiIity of
resistance, their hands held up, shout
ing "kamerad." Apparently they
were glad to surrender. One of them
said he. did not want to fight, but had
been compelled to do so.
The garrison in Cantigny was all
accounted for. The men either sur
rendered or were killed. Many Ger
man dead were strewn over the
ground.

OF HEART FAILURE

William Edwin Gates, So years of
age, a chauffeur employed by Hughes
& Chapman, died suddenly while at
the breakfast table early this morn
ing. According to DR.. S. NJ. Garlick.
the Medical Examiner, death was due
to heart ailment which the deceased
was subject to. It appears that he
was often stricken with attacks after
ne had exerted himself in any way.
This morning. however, he became
unconscious and failed to respond to
treatment.

Notwithstanding their success in
pushing the Allies from the Chemin
des Danes and the heights of Cra-
onne to beyond the Aisne and into
territory untouched by fighting since
early in the war, the enemy has not
succeeded in widening the "elbow'

Allied line in Champagne east of
IRheims. Direct highway and rail-
road communication between Scissors
and Rheims has been broken by the
Germans, but neither of these she'll
