Although the announced purpose OF the
attack was the Strengthening out of the
line between Seringes and Cierges, this
really is secondary to the outfanking of
the Germans to the southwark. The enc
my is holding very strong positions at
Roncheres and ST. Gemme, where his line
still is less than five miles from the
Marne, and continued advance between
Nesles and Cierges would force him to
fall back to escape being cut off from
the rear.
This seems to be the only sector where
the allies are attacking with their in
fantry. Reports from the front tell of
heavy artillery fire along the most of
the line between Scissors and Rheims.
The Germans attacked the allied lines
on the heights Of Bligny, southwest Of
Rheims, on Tuesday night, but were re-
pulsed
The methods adopted by the Germans
since their retirement from the Marne
began are being followed by the enemy
along the line of the hardest fighting.
Machine gunners, for the most part, man
the lines This may indicate further
retirement of the Germans, for machine
gunners have borne the brunt Of the rear
guard fighting during the past two
weeks.
Along the British front, the German
artillery has been active. The enemy's
heavy guns have carried out especially
heavy bombardments at Villers- Breton
nellx, east Of Amiens; near Bucquoy on
the northern side of the Picardy salient,
and in the neighborhood Of Meteren and
Merris, on the western side Of the Lys
sector.
1t ia unoficially announced that
Czecho- Sloyak forces have occupied the
important town of Yekaterinburg, which
dominates the northern line of the Si-'
IBERIA railroad, which runs into Europe
an Russia from Cheliabinsk. Russian
newspapers express the concern felt in
bolshevik circles over the Czecho- Slovak
danger which, it is said, is growing
like an avalanche"
II is understood that Germany viii
break off diplomatic relations with
Ukraine as the result of the assassina-
tion Of Field Marshal Eichhorn. This
may be preliminary to the dispatch Of
German forces to Kiev, which, it is said,
is contemplated at Berlin.

PARENTS DENY CRUELTY
When Several Witnesses Tell of Abusive
Treatment of Eda Crugnola.

Allegations that an adopted daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Crugnola of Smith
street has been subjected to unduly
harsh treatment by her parents were
supported by mass of testimony from
neighbors who were subppnaed to a
Juvenile court hearing before Magistrate
II. w. Scott at city hall this forenoon.
The alleged victim of slaps and cuffs and
other questionable methods of discipline
is Eda Crugnola, bright-eyed child of
nine summers. States Attorney Earle
r. Davis appeared for the state and
questioned the various witnesses. Par
ents of the child appeared without coun-
sci, but took spirited exceptions TO some
of the allegations offered by their neigh
bors
1t is claimed that the chlid's hair was
crudely cut by the mother, that she was
shabbily clothed, and that she was over
worked Neighbors testified to seeing the
child as the helpless recipient of cruel
blows. They told the court that the
child's body bore marks of beating and
pinching, and some of the witnesses went
so far as to charge that the mother
threw the adopted child into dark eel
lar, after threatening her with the police,
the devil, and sundry other persons whom
children are supposed to fear. That she
was very frequently late to school or alb
sent altogether was supported in the
evidence by Truant Officer George l..
Morris, who gave it as his opinion, based
on more than 20 visits TO the Crugnola
home, that the child had been badly used.
City Clerk Mackay, as custodian of the
school registers, was subpnnaed near
noon to produce the register for grade
two in the North Barre school. 1t devel
oped that the school authorities had
failed to file the register in question,
and time was allowed for procuring the
desired data from the superintendent
Office
Parents of the child have not replied
to the unsparing criticism of their neigh
bors, but they have gone SO far as toI
deny most of the allegations and to-
state that the measures actually used
by them were justified by the little girls
unruly conduct Judge Scott adjourned
the sitting at noon and said he would be
ready to hear more at2 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
Witnesses called to testify included
Andrew Crugnola, Mr. and Mrs Bonazzi,
MFR. and Mrs. Laffargo, v. Bal, Mr.. and
Mrs. Berini, Mrs. Balzarini. Mrs. Peter
Bonito, Florence Bottiggi, Mrs. Cutani
and the truant officer and the city clerk.
A large number of spectators heard the
eviderce, and feeling ran so high that
the court frequently had to rap sharply

DEFEATED IN SENATE
Woman Suffrage Resolution
Lacks Necessary Votes.
Appeal by President Apparently
Failed to Break the

BY a vote of SO to 81 the Senate
failed to give the two-thirds majority
necessary to adopt the resolution
passed by the House submitting to the
states the Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution.
Before the vote vas announced
Chairman Jones of the woman suffrage
committee changed his vote from aye

President Wilson's appeal in behalf
of the resolution apparently made no
change in the voting, the opposition
securing every vote they claimed. The
majority lacked two votes of the neces
sary two-thirds and the change re-
corded for Senator Jones made it three.
