They Have Not Yet Recovered Their

With the French Army in France, Sun
ay, May 10 tby the Associated Press -
The Germans apparently are awaiting
the return of the offensive spirit among
some of their best divisions, severely
tried during the first stages of the often.
sive, before reopening operations.
Large numbers of their units lost a
considerable portion of their electives in
the heavy fighting in Picardy and Elan
ders, and, despite the fact that the
ranks have been filled Immediately from
depots in the rear, strong impressions of
the terrific ordeal through which they
passed are still retained by them. Most
of these shattered divisions have enjoyed
only three or four weeks rest since,
which experience has demonstrated is
hardly sufficient time in which to restore
fighting qualities. The German command
knows this perfectly well and, therefore,
is holding back as long as possible be-
fore attacking. so as to have more re-
cuperated units available to add to those
which have not participated in the fight.
ing up to this time.
IL seems to be indicated clearly that
the objective of the Germans when they
do commence heavy fighting again will
be desperate effort to divide the allied
armies by assaultng their lines of com
1t seems probable, too, that
they may even extend the battle front
further south and east toward the dis
trict lines between Layon and Rheims,
where the front is wen served by rail
roads, which would enable them to at
tempt surprise upon the allies by max
ing a big demonstration there, with the
intention of attracting General Foch's
reserves, while they carry out their main
,ffort further north.
The allies, however. are well prepared |

working in the greatest harmony with |

most complete confidence reigns among

Edward Il. Parker, boxer employed
at the plant Of Jones Bros, died at the
City hospital Saturday night at $3.50
o'clock as the result of injuries received
when he was caught between two fiat
cars while working at the plant earlier in
the day. The man recently moved to

early yesterday. II is expected that the
funeral will be held tomorrow. He was
81 years old and had been employed in
the box shop at Jones Bros for some
time.
Fellow employees of Parker, in describ-
ing the accident, state that three men
employed in the box shop were engaged
in removing lumber from a pile in the
yard, to the workshop when the man re-
ceived his injuries. One of the railroad
spurs running into the yard intervened
between the box shop and the lumber
pile. narrow aisle, about foot in
width, separated two fiat cars which lay
on the siding, and by previous arrange
ment one of the men was piling lumber
on the deck of a fiat car while his two
assistants passed through the passage
way with boards for the shop. 1t was
while Parker. carrying several boards,
was passing between the fat cars, that
the shed derrick began to move a car
loaded with stock. The derrick showed
the car out of the shed and along the
track until it kicked one of the emp
ties" Parker was caught fast and could
not be extricated until the car had been
moved.
From the first it was feared that he
had sustained internal injuries, but the
man exhibited a good deal of pluck in
walking across the yard unaided to the
Office. conveyance was quickly pro-
cured and he was hurried to the hospital.
An intestinal rupture had developed from
his injuries, which centered about the
ternal hemorrhage.

GERMAN GUNS
ARE POUNDING
Front Covers Ten Miles Be-
tween Albert and Buc-
quoy and Is Most Impor-
tant to Both Sides

Significance may attach to the report
the official statements are now carryin;
of heavy artillery fire in the sector be
tween Arras and Albert, which comprise
the northerly continuation of the Somm'
battlefront.
London to-day thus announces a con
siderable increase in the German artillery
activity between Albert and Bucquoy
which is a l0-mile front covering about
half the distance between Albert and Ar
ras. Similarly, the German official state
ment OF yesterday reported the British
guns busy along the entire Albert .Arrss
front, where the German batteries were
subjected to a violent fire.
It is along this line that many of the
military observers are qualifiedly pre-
dieting that the American blow in the
offensive now impending will be struck.
What is known as the Arras salient,
which projects from the British lines be-
tween the German salients of the Somme
and the Lys is standing in the way. OF
further German advance toward the
coast or the Franco British lines of COM
m,lnication. By cutting these lines at
important points, the enemy apparently
hopes to divide the two armies.
The reduction of the Arras salient by
a mighty blow could carry the Germans
far toward Dolilens, Is miles north of
Amiens and about l3 miles west OF the
present fighting line. The taking OF this
valuable junction point would badly dis,
rupt the allied communicating lines and
an operation which led to its capture
almost inevitably carry Amiens also into
enemy possession.
Against such stroke the allies are re.
ported to have forces heavily nassed and
to be confidently awaiting the result of
an attack in this quarter, should one de-
yelop.

WELLS RIVER GIRL
LEFT SUICIDE NOTE
But Circumstances Seem to Point to the
Fact that Mabel Coburn, Aged
Is, Headed for Bellows
ratI

Woodsville, n H., May o0-Tired oi
the troubles of this life, so she said, Miss
Mabel Coburn, Is years old, daughter OF
Melvin Coburn of Wells River. VT, dis.
appeared from the home of Mrs. Doctor
Gibson on Pleasant street, Woodsville
with whom she had made her home for
nearly year, leaving the following mes
sage:
"Dear Father and Mother: just few
lines to say goodbye, as this world is no
longer for me. | will meet you bye and
bye in better world. | have too much
trouble. Love. Mabel. | have drowned
myself"
This note was found by Mrs. Gibson
when she arose Sunday morning about 6
O'Clock and discovered the girl was gone,
having made her exit by barn door.
Mrs. Gibson at once notified Deputy
Sheriff Arthur II. Davis, who notified the
girls father of her disappearance.
As if in confirmation of the girls
threat to take her life a pair of her
white shoes were later found on the
bank of the Connecticut river on the
Vermont side near the new bridge. Only
one dress was missing from her be-
longings at her room, but her handbook
was not to be found.
This fact aroused suspicion and thor
ough investigation disclosed the fact that
the girl was seen at 2:30 a. m. in the
Wells River station with a ticket for
Bellows Falls.
She is about FIVE feet three inches tall,
about 1885 pounds, light com
plected has blue ewes and when she
laughs shows her teeth. When last seen
she wore white hat and light plaid
coat, three-quarters length, and carried
a small box.
The conductor of the train that leaves
Wells River at 2:30 advised by telephone
that he had a passenger from Wells Riv-
er answering that description, with
ticket for Bellows Falls, and that she
was unattended. The authorities of that
place have been notified.

DETECTIVE GIVES 1T UP.
Has Not Been Able 10 Ferret Out Hobart
Homicide Mystery.

Three weeks ago tonight John Hobart
an aged Mddlesex recluse, was foul.
murdered at his home In thar village
Seemingly very little progress has beer
made in the task OF running his murder
er to earth, but to-day another step WI
taken when circulars Offering a substan
tial reward were ISSUED from the Office o.
States Attorney Earle X. Davis. Goorgr
Hobart Of Springfield, Mass, son anC
principal heir of the dead man, has au
thorized the state TO offer a reward oi
5000 for information leading TO the ar
rest and conviction Of the man who killed
his father.
The authorities are admittedly baf.
fled by the crime. The circular mailed
to-day to postmasters throughout the
state and to police departments in many
large cities comes at the end of three
weeks dragnet investigation, in the
course Of which very little has developed
to support the belief that the murderer
will ever be detected. Says the circu-
lar; "The state Of Vermont has been
authorized to offer a reward of 5000 for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the party or parties guilty
of the murder of John Hobart of Middle
sex, VT, on the evening OF April 20, 1918.
The motive undoubtedly was robbery,
81 900 in gold certificates having been
taken from the murdered man. The state
OF Vermont is very desirous of appre-
hending the party or parties responsible
for this murder, and all persons having
information In their possession that
might lead to this end will kindly COM
municate same to Frank II. Tracy, sher-
i'll Of Washington county, Montpelier,
Vt, or to Earle X. Davis, states attor-
uey, Barre, Vermont"
1t is an open secret that Burns de-
tective spent three weeks in and around
Middlesex and then reported that fur
ther investigation on his part would be
fnutless. The operative made his head
quarters at Hotel Barre and was daily
in company with members of the sheriff's
department. Nothing more than beer
bottle found outside the house where Ho-
bart met his death was left as a clue
to One Of the most atrociors murders in
the annals of Washington county crime
The authorities are not wholly convinced
that the murderer ever saw the beer
bottle. Among large number of people
n the county there is a feeling that the
was someone very familiar
with his victims habits and knew rather
the lay of the land. Some
criticism Of the state authorities is
,eard, but this far none of the people |
who are wont to speculate upon crimes
# this sort have come forward with a
-aluable idea.
In some respects the murder of Hobart
esembes the homicide on River street |
n this city seven years ago when
-oung man named Daniel Diack was shot |
nd probably Instantly killed. State and
ounty authorities exhausted every clue
nd 80 did detectives, but the murderer
emains mystery
