we could just think up few more
excuses for turning what few working

would make the other small details

NEWARK. N. j., May 13.--For the
second time in the history of the
United States naturalization papers Of
foreign-born citizen were revoked
here to-day, and Frederick w. Wurster

Difficulty in Bringing Up
Supplies Causes Germans
to Change Plans
By Wilbur Forrest

Especial Gable to The Ts;bune)
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON
THE PICARDY 'FRONT.' May 49,
While the military situation westward
toward the sea remains an open war
fare, in which either side may renew
hostilities, there is every indication
that the enemy units opposing the rela-
lively small American sector here have
decided to settle down to a resumption
of trench warfare.
Aerial observations and other sources
of information have elected the fact
that the enemy is digging trench sys-
TENS of a permanent character, not
only in the vicinity Of the first line,
but also in the rear. Nightly enemy
working parties are busy, and every
morning shows the progress of their
labor.
For month Allied observation indi-
Gated that the enemy was not preparing
to retain permanently the position
where he was stopped below Mont
didier by the French reserves after an
unopposed march of nine miles in one
day. His trenches remained shallow,
while the men have occupied shell holes
and improvised shelters.
The reason for the enemy's decision
to dig in now is undoubtedly that he
has begun to realize the difhculty of
bringing up supplies-a thing which
has long been evident from this side of
the line.
Prisoners the Allies have taken were
in some cases starving. The harass-
ing fire of the Allied batteries, espe-
cially at nights, on the roads and on
the enemy's organizations in the rear,
may also bear on the situation.
A gigantic parachute fare, ascend
ing probably to an altitude of 1000
feet and lighting up the immediate
vicinity almost too brilliantly for
human eyes, was the enemy's surprise
packet for the American troops west
of Montdidier tonight.
Five miles behind the lines the dull
reddish glare made it possible to read
a newspaper. The flare, which evident
ly was thrown skyward by a cannon on
the same principle that the we'll known
small flares have been shot from spe-
cial pistols throughout the war, turned
night into day for period of ten
minutes. The spectacle was magnifi
cent.
Low-hanging clouds reflected the
brilliant crimson, showing every billow
and wrinkle in a sharp, reddish blue
outline. The enemy Illuminated the
heavens until after midnight, when he
ceased, leaving the heat lightning and
the flashes of the guns to carry on the
pyrotechnics.

Enemy Feeling Out Allies
Defence for New
Somme Drive
Italians Hurl Back
Attack on Corno
Teutons Fail to Retake
Height in Hand-to-Hand
Struggle

Intense gunfre was officially re-
ported on several sectors of the
West front yesterday, leading to
the conjecture that the German
artillery might be preparing for
the long delayed resumption of
the great offensive.
The hostile activity was most pro-
nounced between Albert and
Arras, on the northern side of the
Somme salient. Dispatches said
the Allies were heavily bombarded
over a front Of twenty-seven
miles here. Haig called attention
in his first statement yesterday to
the Teuton gunfre in the Albert
sector, and in his night commu-
nique to activity north of Serre,
a little north of Albert.
1t is possible the enemy is feeling
out the Allied line for deter
mined smash against the southern
defences Of the Arras region held
by the Allies, which now juts out
between the German salients on
the Somme and Lys. Many mill
tary experts believe this will be
the next operation attempted.
There was also special artillery fire
north of KENNEL, in the Somme
Valley, and between LOGON and
Nieppe Forest, on the southwest
ern end of the Lys salient.
Rome announces that strong Aus
trian effort to recapture Monte
Corno, taken by the Italians, was
repulsed. The enemy suffered
heavy losses and was driven back
in hand-to-hand- fighting.

Other seditious remarks were also at
tributed to him, and Mr.. Lynch
brought the case before Judge Haight
urging that the citizenship papers be
cancelled, since Wursterbarth had OBJ
tanned them by fraud
The defendant, through his attorney,
Major Carl Lertz, of Newark, made no
denial of the stories told by the wit
nesses, but asserted that his present
state of mind could have no bearing on
the spirit in which he was naturalized,
thirty-fve years ago.
In his decision Judge Haight says:
lit must be borne in mind that the
respondent did not express any dissat-
lsfaction with the aims and purposes of
this country in the present war or
with the reasons which had induced
Congress to declare war, but that he
boldly took the position that he would
DO nothing to injure the country of his

to me that it is not only permissible to

he took the oath Of remuneration he did
so with mental reservation as to the
country of his birth, and retained tow
ard that country an allegiance which
the laws Of this country required him
to renounce before he could become one

just stated, his allegiance to the for

One Dead, II Hurt in
N. Y. Central Wreck

ALBANY, May 13.-One fireman was
killed, passenger probably fatally
injured and eight or ten other pas
sengers more or less seriously injured
when the Buffalo Express was wrecked
late tonight at Schodack Landing, ac-
cording to officials of the New York
Central Railroad. The engineer was
badly scalded.
Virtually every car was derailed, it
was stated. A relief train was prompt
ly made up here and left soon after
word of the wreck had been received,
carrying doctors and train officials. 1t
was intended to bring the dead and in
jured here.
Reports from shodack Landing we're
to the effect that the train was pass
ing through the northern end of the
village when the accident occurred.
1t was reported unofficially that an
open switch caused the accident. The
engine, which had just passed, over the
bridge across Schodack Creek, was
turned completely over and one car fell
into the creek.
