JAIL SENTENCES !. FOR ALIENS WHO
 WOULDN'T ENLIST

That Judge Wilder of the city court, is getting impatient with slack CTS of all nations is very evident when he handed a sentence of 30 days in jail and a fine of $50 and costs to Ernest Drevin, 26, of 101 Cross street, who was arraigned charged with steal ing railroad property and trespassing. The man was asked by the court if he would enlist in either the army or navy of the United States and in a most defiant manner he answered "No."
 He explained to the court that he is Greek and exempt from military service in the United States because i he is an alien. The court did not like his attitude and imposed the fine and sentence with such promptness that even the old timers in the court were surprised.
 Immediately following the case of Drevin, a man giving his name as Richard Costello, of the Commercial House and his place of birth as somewhere in Europe" was arraign- 1 ed on the charge of breach of the peace. He was also asked why he had | not joined the army or navy and if l he would do so. Costello answered the question of the court in the nega- tive and the court promptly imposed a. sentence of 60 days in jail.

BENNETT OWNER OF N. Y. HERALD
 DIES IN FRANCE

Beaulieu, France, May 14-James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald, died at 5:30 a. m today after having been unconscious for two days.
 MT. Bennett's last words before re- lapsing into unconsciousness were in relation to his newspaper interests.
 Mrs. Bennett was with her hus- band when he died.
 Early this month MT. Bennett was reported so seriously sick that his condition was giving cause for anxiety. He had been for some months at his villa in Beaulieu in the Riviera, after a sickness and advices from Nice at this time announced that he had had a relapse.
 Several thousand miles away from his main newspaper office, James Cor 1 don Bennett directed in minute detail the affairs of the New York Herald and maintained for himself one of the most commanding positions in Ameri- can journalism. For more than g quarter of a century he lived in Paris and worked simultaneously there anc in New York. No man before him ol since has attempted such long dis tance editing.

He was called at the request of counsel for Fl. Landau, one of the accused, who was reporter for the Bonnet Rouge.
 Before M. Caillaux began his testi- mony Col Voyer, the president, ad- monished him to confine his remarks within the proper limits.
 "The only point at issue" said Col. Voyer, lis whether the witness men, toned the name of Marx of Mann helm Ga German banker through whom funds were supplied for the Bonnet Rouge propaganda to M Landau in September. 1916. Please keep to that point
 M. Caillaux denied emphatically that he had mentioned Marx in 1916 He said he had never heard of the man until July, 1917, and then onl! when the Bonnet Rouge case was dis cussed in the Chamber of Deputies It was brought out that the name anC address of Marx were found on a slil of paper among the documents be longing to M Caillaux which wer, discovered in Florence.

BLOODY STRUGGLE IN
 DARKNESS FOR CORNO
 HEIGHT IS REPORTED
ITALIAN POSITIONS MAINTAINED AT CLOSE OF .FIGHTING-ALLIED AIR MEN DROP TONS" OF BOMBS ON
 POSITIONS OF ENEMY

Italian troops repulsed with heavy loss a desperate enemy attempt Monday to redeem the loss of Monte Corno. It is be- lieved that this was only the first of a series of efforts to re- gain the lost ground owing to the value of the height which commands the approaches to the valley leading from Trent to Rovereto.
 The fight was ir the darkness and was a bloody hand to hand struggle over the rocky slopes of the noun tain. The Italian positions, however, were maintained intact.
 So far the fighting around Mont Corno has been of a local character aand not a part of any general of fensive, although the outposts show increasing activity all along the noun tain front.
 Committed as they are to a con tinuation of heavy fighting on the western front, the Germans apparent ly are taking their full time before beginning another forward operation on the line from Soissons north to the Belgian coast In the weeks the en- emy has made only one determined attack and this was repulsed by the Allies southwest of Ypres.
 Along the vital sectors of the sa- iients driven by the Germans since March q, the enemy artillery has been active, but there are no signs
 of renewed infantry activity in strength. North of Kennel, around Serre, on the line between Albert and Arras; and on the southern end of the British line across the Somme and on the French sector immediately south, the German big guns are hurl- ing thousands of shells into the AL lied positions.
 Allied airmen are taking advantage of every opportunity to invide enemy territory. Many more tons of bombs have been dropped on impcItant rail- road centers and other military tar gets behind the German lines in Flanders and Picardy. In aerial fighting the British have brought down six more enemy machines. While British naval airmen bomb the

This appeal when filed in court will effectually delay commencement of any work, and will postpone it until the questions have been passed upon.
 Failure in giving the proper notices to holders of mortgages on property owned by Samuel H. Wheeler is al- legged in an appeal filed in the Su- perior court from assessment of bene- fits in relation to the plaza, and the right of the city to condemn land and assess benefits for the purpose indicated is also attacked. This is one of several appeals filed by the Wheel CTS through Attorney J. A. Marr in which legal and technical questions are raised.
 Attorney Klein represents B. B, Shalet, Levin Brothers, Samuel and George W. Haw1ey, Eli Lesser, Sam uel W. Gledhill, M. J. Buechler, and Julius Nussenfeld. All own property affected by the proposed widening oi streets, and the violation of the char ter is claimed in each case, as well as a violation of the constitution, the talk. ing of property for purposes other than use as highways.
 In support of the contention tha the extension of highways is not con Itemplated in the action of the com mon council the message of the Mayor to that body is quoted. Failure of the Board of Appraisal to notify all ot the parties in interest of the propos ed hearings is another part of the ap peal.

WANTS $5O,OOO
 FOR FALL FROM A CHERRY TREE

Alleging he was employed to work upon the place of Mrs. Harriet A. Miller, formerly of Stamford but now of New York, to do work about the place, and on June 29, 1914, ordered into a cherry tree to pick cherries, not knowing the danger, Addison L. Ferris of Stamford is asking Judge John P. Kellogg and a jury in the superior court to give him damages of $50000 for injuries received in fall. Trial of the case was commenc- ed this morning.
 In the complaint Ferris alleges he was employed by Mrs. Miller to do work about the place. He moved the lawn, fixed the gates and fences, and did other work which a boy of fl years is able to do. Some time before the date of the accident Mrs. Miller asked him to pick the cherries, and on June 29, 1914, again asked him. and sent him into the tree.

"We assume that the conventions to be concluded" the proclamation says further, Twill take the interests of the German empire into account equally with those of Lithuania and that Lithuania will participate in the war burdens of Germany, which se- cured her liberation"
 Lithuania is one of the former Rus sian border states which the Germans have attempted to set up as nominal ly independent countries, under Ger man influence. Germany is making every effort to exploit the states economically, but except in the case of Poland has not attempted to foFce the former Russian subjects to fight with the German army, as the em- peror's announcement indicates may now be done in Lithuania.
 The attempt to enroll a Polish ar my, on the same plea that now is made in the case of Lithuania, was a failure, and the Polish legion" was disbanded.
 The Vorwaerts of Berlin said re- gently that strong opposition was de veloping among the Lithuanians tc transforming their country into Ger man "semi-federaF' state. Entire in- dependence is demanded. ....
 The Lithuanians number about 2,OOO,O ,OOO and are found mainly in the former Russian government of Kovno Wilma, Grodno and Suwalki.

GIRL INFORMS
 AUTHORITIES
 ABOUT SOLDIER

It was through information supplied by Bridgeport girl to the federal au- thorities that Private Edwin Brock was arrested at the home of his mother in St. Marks Place, Brook lyn, N. Y, and taken to Fort Jay, N. Y, to face a courtmartial for deser- ton.
 According to the facts in the case Private Brock left Fort Wright, April 29, and although a country-w wide search was being made for the miss ing soldier, no trace of him could be found until the authorities received a letter from Bridgeport saying that the writer was a girl friend of Brock s, but thought it her duty to report him as a deserter from the United States army.
 Acting upon the information con- tained in the letter the federal au- thorities watched the home of his mother in St. Marks Place, Brook lyn, and arrested Brock on the even- ing of May T. He was at once sent to Fort Jay, to stand trial for deser- ton.

BROTHERS FACE EXPERIMENT AS
 ALIEN ENEMIES

Bryan, Benjamin and Paul Po1aski, were arrested in this city yesterday by agents of the United States De- partment of Justice for violation of their permits. All three are Ger man alien enemies, and further inves- tigations, which are being made, may result in their being interned. This is the first instance in the United States where three Germans in the same family have been arrested un- der similar circumstances.
 Bryan Polaski resides at 64 Park Terrace, and Benjamin and Paul Po- laski live at 99 West Liberty street.
