the American sector. northwe est Of
Toul, to-day, the Germans tried
the tactics Of concentrating artil-
lery fire on one OF the American
positions. apparently with the pur-
pose OF oblitcrating it. The Amer
lean guns immediately punished
the German batteries with doub-
ly heavy rctaliatory fire. and then
SWEPT the enemy lines with a Vi
ciouS barragr. undoubtedly lntilct-
ing considerable damage.
The German guns promptly
ceased fire. Whether they were
silenced or. stopped firing for
other reasons is unknown. but
since that time hardly a shot has
been fired from that point.
Last night a German patrol was
eourd unc- more within the Amer
lean wire. 1t was driven back by
machine gun and rifle fire. The
American patrols worked freely,
without intcrfercncn.

dence that In spite Of his commits.
sion in tie United States army he
was In touch with German agents,
contributing to Won BernstorfTs
propaganda funds and working for
peace at any price before America
went to war, was largely responsible
for the heavy punishment imposed
upon Captain David A Heahes, cen
fenced by court martial at Cover
nor's Island to dismissal from tho
service and imprisonment at hard
labor for twenty-five yenrs.
This evidence WAS discovered az
ter Henkes was brought bacn~from
France for trial because Of his iu--
slsteut demands that he be allowed
to resign to avoid fighting rela-
tives and friends in Germany. On
landing he asked to be allowed to
see his vile. This was denied, but
he was permitted to telephone and
officers listening in heard him In
struct his wtfe to burn all his
papers. -
Before Mrs. Henkes could carry:
out the order her home was entered
and the discriminating letters and
papers seized. According to officers
of the Judge advocate generals de-
partment, these proved that Henfes-
not only had been In co1nInunica-
ton with Count Won Bernstor1f,
then German ambassador to the
United States, but had contributed
to German, Austrian and Turkish
funds and had been an active pro
pagand1st.

around Albert Thornton. the twenty-year-

murder Of his common law wife. who
broke Jail with the others. but returned
forty-eight hours later to give himselt
up: the improvised rope made OF bed

Chairman Flood. OF the House Com

scented a memorial to the House
signed by a large number OF the
leading Irish-American citizens of
Chicago urging immediate action to
bring about the freedom OF Ireland.
The memorial is radical in tone.
and the list of signatures is headed
by former Gov. Edward +. Dunno.
Pointing out that the avowed pur-
pose OF America and England in en-
tering the war is to make the whole
world free, the memorial saws:
ireland is one OF the small ma
lions, and is demanding her liberty.
The signers urge an Irish republic
