in his usual health. 1t is strongly
limited that his illness was faxed and
that it is part of the teachings of
the l. w. w. as shown by the liter
ature introduced in the trial, to de-
lay trials and make them so expensive
the taxpayers will get tired.
Governor Mcconnell was on the
stand when court adjourned at noon
Saturday and he was on the stand all
forenoon, but he gave little testimony.
The time during the forenoon session
was entirely taken UP with the in
PRODUCTION of I. w. W. literature
which was identified and filed as ex-
hibits in the case. This literature
was secured from the I. w. w. head
quarters, 1901 West Madison street,
Chicago, and shows the teachings of
the organization to which the defend
ants are said to belong. There can
be no doubt, after reading this liter
ature, that the I. w. w. teaches sabot-
age.
F. A. Robinson, office deputy in the
sheriff's Office and w. H. Buck, spe-
cial deputy sheriff. located at Bovill,
testified after Governor Mcconnell left

papers and property taken from the
defendants and held by him. Buck
told of the circumstances under which
the defendants were arrested. Buck

AWFUL SLAUGHTER OF HUNS
TOLD BY CORRESPONDENT

| similar in character everywhere, wave
succeeding wave in closest succession,
only to be shot down. 1t was some
| thing like a relay race-when the
| first German division was exhausted
another imediately took it's place. In
| some cases single division of the
allies, while retiring, was attacked
successfully by six German divisions.
| "The allies stood the test most
courageously, but such a continuous
series of shocks from fresh troops
were bound to tell on tired men, and
eventually the allies were forced to
give way. But they did so, still fight
| ing. 1t is shown that one Bavarian
division lost so per cent of its
strength"
| German prisoners said Mr.. Gibbs,
in his reports, "agree that their
Losses have been on the highest scale,
as high as so per cent in some divis-
ions, rs per cent in some battalions,
and hardly less than 80 per cent among
many of the attacking units. These
prisoners also say that the offensive
was begun as an act of desperation,
because Germany must have peace,
and in spite of their progress over a
wide front they are depressed be-
cause they do not see decisive vic
tory"
All of the correspondents at the
front agree that the German losses
have been enoromus and "far out of
proportion to the successes gained.
It is reported that two batteries at
Ephey "fired steadily for four hours
with open sight at the German
masses but 400 yards distant, but the
German masses swarmed over No
Mans Land in the face of this muir
derous fire and that the dead lay in
heaps and windrows."
In reviewing the progress of the bat
tie to date all of the great newspa-
pers and military experts agree that
the Germans are far from having won
a victory. Comparing the great drive
now on with that of the Marine and the
Aisne and Vrdun, the military experts
agree that the outlook is not nearly |
as good for German success now as |
it was in any of those battles in |
which the Huns were whipped to a |
and finally driven back.
The Huns lost more than half mil
lion men at Verdun, it is pointed out |
and then lost the ground gained. In !
a review of the situation by scores OF
the leading newspapers and military
writer's not one predicts a German |,
but all agree that the Ger
mans are bound to lose in this fight |
and it will be the beginning of the end, |
for the Germans, who have admitted |
the failure of the submarine and eve
ry other measure that they predicted |
would end in crushing the allies, and |
they will be gradually worn down by |
the increasing strength of the allies
while their strength will rapidly de-
crease.

An oversight in reporting the pa

following the members of the G. A. R.
and were overlooked in making a re-

Moagro reports coming IN from the
great battle field in France are be-
ginning to give some idea of the ter
rible slaughter of the German hordes
by the British and French who have
been fighting against terrible odds
and collecting an awful toll from the
Germans who have advanced, utterly
regardless of the cost in lives. 1t
seems incredible that human beings
(and we must still believe that the
German masses are human) could be
induced to make such sacrifices in
order that group of men might gain
correspondents tell of the Huns ad-
vancing in waves with a fanatical dis
regard for the loss of life. Philip
Gibbs of the New York World, who
is on the scene, cables:
"All the German storm troops, in
Guiding the guards, were in brand new
uniforms. They advanced in dense
masses and never faltered until shat
tered by the machine gun fire. The
supporting waves advanced over the
bodies of the dead and wounded. The
German commanders were ruthless in
the sacrifices of human life, in the
hope of overwhelming the defense. by
the sheer weight of numbers.
"Still they came on, with the fanat-
ical courage of sacrifice. When the
first lines fell their places were filled
by others, and the British guns and
machine gun fire could not kill them
fast enough.
"All the fighting in this part of the
country since March 81 has been con-
tinuous battle in which the British di-
visions holding the front line below
Gouezeaucourt to Massemy have
shown magnificent powers of endur-
ance, as indeed have all of the others
engaged, and have only yielded ground
under pressure Of overwhelming num-
bers and great gun fire.
"The British field guns and artil-
lery were handled with marvellous dis
cipline in the trying hours and in po-
sition which became untenable. The
gunners were firing hour after hour
at large bodies of Germans moving so
close to them that the guns we're train
ed directly on their targets, and caus-
ed deadly losses in these ranks of field |
gray men who never ceased to come |
forward in living tide aat whatever
cost of life and bore down on the de-
fensive lines.
French infantry is also fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the British
and giving the most gallant help. No
praise is too high for the way in which
they have been tried to the uttermost
limits of human endurance and cour-
age in the face of tremendous odds.
"Men belonging to a dismounted
French cavalry corps, acting as in
fantry, fought rear-guard action day
after day against immense odds. The /
troopers declare that the enemy came
forward in such deep waves that it
was only necessary to fire point blank .
to hit with certainty. These cavalry
men fired into the enemy so rapidly
+aht the Germans fell in swathes. Yet
still others came on, until the French
defenders were compelled to cease fir
ing, because both rifles and machine
guns were red hot.
"The advance of the Germans was
