Notable Slackening is Seen in
Advance of the German
Masses.
MOMENTUM NOT YET SPENT
French Stands Ground Against
Attacks of the Enemy After
Falling Back from the Limits
of the City of scissors.

Slowly but surely, the plunge OF
the German crown princes armies
is being halted by the French and
British armies. While the momen-
tum of the German masses has not
as yet spent itself, there has been n
notable slackening in its advance
during the past day The chief eff
forts of the Germans now seem to
be devoted to the widening of the
gap they have torn in the positions
of the allies between Pinon and Bri-
mont. This work seems to be pro
crossing slowly against the desper-
ate resistance of the allied forces.
The French. having fallen back
from the limits of the city Of Sois.
sons, have stood their ground against
the attacks of the enemy and the
German official statement fails to
show material advances there during
the days fighting
Fhe French are here fighting on
familiar ground which has beeY
made historic by numerous battles
some of which are named among the
decisive c6mbats of history.
On. the eastern end Of the fighting
line some of the forts before Rheims
are said to have fallen. which was
to be expected from the fact that
they have been outflanked by. the tide
CT invasion that has swept far to the
south of the city.
In Fan-Shaped Figure.
The fighting has taken on the ia
miliar aspect of the first invasion of
| France in 1914. the advance of Won
Mackensen along the. Dunajec and
the fighting in Picardy in March.
After breaking the French and Brit
ish defensive positions. but not
breaking the allied line, the Ge~-
mans are again moving their forces
out in fan-shaped fgure: fighting
hardest on the aafts of tie extreme
front OF their advance.
The situation, while apparently
extremely serious, has not assumed
the critical aspect of the fighting
late in March. The allies are re-
sstng the enemys attacks stub
bornly. giving g"ound when over
powered, and always maintaining a
solid front.
The wave OF the advance is no "
approaching the valley of the Marne
the nearest approach to that avenue
toward Paris being at the village OF
Veseilly, which lies at the extreme
apex of the German wedge and *
about seven miles from the river. Ir

Mary Newman Roberts.
When the verdict was delivered
MISS Lusk made an attempt to choke
Special Prosecutor Tullar but was
overpowered by court attendants
and led, Screaming, from the court
room.
The verdict carried with it a SEN
tence of from Ia to 25 years in the
penitentiary.
The case went to the jury at 5:25
last evening.
JAdge Martin Lueck in his final in
structions' indicated FIVE possible vef-
diets as follows:
1. First degree murder. which
carries life sentence
.. Second degree murder. cover
ing assaults with deadly weapon
due to to unsound mind. carry
ing sentence OF from IA to 25
years in prison.
3. Manslaughter in the third de-
gree covering Staying done in the
heat of passion, the penalty for which
is from two to six years in prison.
A.. Not guilty.
5. Not guilty because insane IL -
were decided that the defendant was
unable to distinguish between right
and wrong at the time of the shoot
ing. This would commit her to the
state asylum.
Walter ID. COrrigan. for the pros
ecution. and James Clancy. for the
defense, delivered the closing argu-
ments.
Miss Lusk listened to the closing
argument OF the state with hardly n
trace of emotion burt broke down
completely after the case had gone
to the jury and sobbed in her faith
er's arms.
When the jury retired Miss Lusk
collapsed and 1t required half an
hour 10 prepare her to be brought n
court to hear the verdict

back and forth in his chair at the

her and she tainted.
Several minutes later when she

one OF the attorneys were ATTEMPT

when the agzs turned toward Tul-

liberately."
ID. s. Tullar was appointed special
prosecutor at the trial by his son,
who was unable to act because of
his illness.
Several hundred spectators, most
ly women, stood with tears stream
ing down their faces during the out
break. The jurymen stood in their
places with ashen faces as though
paralyzed and during the second
outbreak shrank away from Miss
Lusk as she was led Screaming past

Should the Alien Vote?

D REPRESENTATIVE FLOOD, of Virginia,
N acting as chairman of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. has called upon
Congress to determine whether or not 1t Is
good politics or good Americanism to allow
the alien in this country the right OF fran
chise He has introduced bill i'll the House
Of Representatives providing that mo person
not a citizen of the United States shall be
permitted to vote in any election to be held
for President or Vice-Presidcnt for Sena-
tors of the United States or members Of the
House OF Represent atives, who is a subject
Of any state or nation with which the united
States is at war
1t may be illuminating to some people to
know that, whereas alien enemies in America
are barred from certain fixed zones, are COM
PEELED to register their names with the gov
eminent or be informed, and arc under tho
strctost espionage OF the Federal authori-
ties, they are given the full right OF citizen
ship in ten States of the Union. The incon-
sistency Of this is so plain that it seems ridicu-
lous that it should be No other nation on
earth would be so generously guilty Of giving
its resident enemies voice in its govern
ment. No other would consider for q fieeting
minute giving such residents the power to
punish its public servants or to reward a
disloyal candidate.
Yet this extraordinary privilege is vouch-
safed every German or Austrian male above
the age of twenty-one years in ten States.
In some OF those States the alien vote is
powerful factor in local politics. 1t might
easily hold the balance OF power and be de-
livercd as a unit for against any candidate
for Office any policy OF government which
it liked or disliked, and it is permitted to
exercise it's right OF franchise behind the
curtain OF poll booth. No man may de-
nand that the alien voter declare publicly
his choice of candidates his platform
preference. He acts in the dark when he
casts his ballot. He may, in effect, stab the
United States in the back by his vote, yet he
knows he can do it in secret and without
having TO account for his deed
Congress may only restrict the alien
enemy vote in the election OF Federal Of
flcials 1t cannot dictate to IN individual
State whether or not the resident enemies
shall participate in the election Of local can
didates. Congress owes it to itself and to
the Federal government rs whole to dis
franchise every unnaturallzed German and
Austrian in the United States The States
which have handed the ballot to such voters
may be relied upon to look ont for their
own interests, but the right TO defeat any
member OF the House or Senate who has
voted against German interests. should not
longer he gratuitoUsly awarded to alien
enemies resident in this country. National
self-respect as we'll as national scf-defense
