Fifty Engineers Got Into Ger

and Fought Way Out.
By FRED s. FERGUSON

WITH THE AMERICANS IN Pr
CARDY, May 27-Fifty Amer can
engineers who got into the German
positions by mistake at night fought
their way back to thier own lines,
with the American and Boche infan-
try both firing on them.
Owing to considerable gaps in the
trenches at some places, it is easy to
wander beyond the American lines
after dark. For instance, a motor
truck driver, headed through such 4
gap, drove halfway scross No Mans
Land before the rattle of machine
guns behind him warned him that he
had passed the line.
The cannonading on this front has
increased somewhat, but ii is still
quiet compared with week ago. On
the contrary, there is increased activ-
ity in patroling. Encounters are fire.
quent, and American parties constant
ly are penetrating the German first
line.
The marked effectiveness of Ameri-
can artillery fire is partially due to
excellent work of the American air
plane observers. The American flag
is now carried daily over the enemy
lines, via. airplane. Boches show
especial hatred for machines carrying g
this flag and make strenuous effort
to bring them down. So far they have
failed and five enemy planes have
been brought down in the attempt.

COLGATE TAKES
ARAP At EDGE
In Retiring Criticises Governor
and Primary Laws Re-
pubIicans Surprised.
By Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, May 27:-Politca1 OBJ
servers here have hardly recovered
yet from the surprise and shock
which former State Senator Austen
Colgate, of Essex, created by his sud
den retirement from the Republican
senatorial nomination contest, after
having placed himself first in the
field in August Of last year and after
having actively prosecuted his cam
from the race was totally unexpected
apparently least of all by Governor
Edge and George L. Record, his riv-
ais, who have said that it will have
no effect whatever upon their own
candidates.. Although Colgate has
eliminated himself, the process per
haps brought him more to the fore in
state politics than he has yet attain
ed, and it is thought here that next
years Republican primary for the
gubernatorial nomination will see
him at the post with the other start
erS.
The Essex man was the dramatic
figure in the doings incident to the
convention of the New Jersey League
of Republican clubs here on Saturday
and his statement. containing a Sec
ond attack on the governor, and read
from the platform the two men were
occupying at the same time in the
convention hall, was easily the fea-
ture of the days gathering. The for
mer senator employed his quiet wit
in side remarks which he injected
during his reading of the statement
and he made a big hit with the dele
gates. He told the governor frankly
he had no business in the race and
had used the machinery of his Office
to further his own campaign.

PRESIDENT TELLS CONGRESS
ITALIANS CELEBRATE
WAR ANNIVERSARY AT
PARADE AND MEETING

Italy's third year in the world war
was observed here yesterday by the
Italians of Perth Amboy and neigh
boring places in manner which will
long be remembered by those who
were privileged to take part in the
demonstration as one of the most en-
thusiastic and highly successful af-
fairs Of its kind ever held in this city.
From noon, when Captain Guarda-
bassi and Lieut.. Violini arrived, until
midnight last night patriotic dem
onstration was held which equalled
anything OF a similar nature ever held
by the Perth Amboy Italians.
The arrival of Lieut.. Violini was
unexpected and his presence on the
occasion added considerably to the
success Of the demonstration. He had
been wounded several times in the
war, being one of the Alpine troop of
Italian soldiers about whom SO much
has been written. He arrived in this
country from Italy on Saturday and
yesterday marked his first public ap-
pearance. He, together with Captain
Guardabassi, was the guest of Rev.
Colon bino Galassi during his stay
here.
The parade was even larger than
expectations. 1t is estimated that at
least 1000 people were in line. The
colors of the United States and Italy
were to be seen all along the forma-
ton, the wonderful display of nation
al colors bringing forth round after
round of applause from the intensely
interested crowds who lined both
sides of the street along the line OF
march. The parade formed in front

sided at the meeting and also acted as

ing the meeting.

NEGROES JAILED
AFTER SHOOTING
Man Fires Seven Shots at Wife
Hit Her 0nCe-She Hits
Five Times.

That two negro residents, a nan
and his wife, of New Brunswick, are
not dead following a revolver duel
Saturday in that place is due to the
poor craftsmanship of both. The af-
fair toof place in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen A. White, in Ward ave-
nue., New Brunswick, the woman be-
ing hit once after White had fired
seven shots at her and he getting off
less luckily with five bullet wounds IN
his anatomy. The details of the fight
are not complete as the two are being
held in default OF $1,000 bond in the
county WorkhouSe awaiting a hearing
before Recorder Watson at the county
seat.
The story as the New Brunswick
authorities have secured it is that
White came home Saturday night ana
got into an arg ument with his wife.
She accused him of being too friendly
with another woman and he drew a
revolver. He Is said to have fired
seven shots at his wife, only one of
which struck her, the bullet entering
her arm.
White ran from thc house, got into
an automobile and although he had
no license, CONNIE enced to ride toward
this city. He passed through Perth
Amboy and was going down the Spa
Springs hill when he got a blowout.
He was repairing this when the occu-
pants of a passing automobile noticed
that he was bleeding. They notified
the Woodbridge police who investi-
gated and removed White to the Perth
Amboy hospital.
An examination showed that he had
five bullet wounds. He declared that
his wife shot him. None of the
wounds appeared to be serious, there
being two in his neck, two in his right
thigh and one in his left thigh. After
being attended by DR.. Martin S. Mein-
zer, and guarded by policemen from
the local force, White was removed
to New Brunswick by the police of
that city at $3.50 o'clock last night.
1t is not known how he was shot, nor
will it be known until the hearing
takes place
His wife had been removed to st.
Peters hospital in New Brunswick,
where her wound was dressed, after
which she was released. Following
White stole the car from New Bruns-
arrested and both were held for a
hearing.
White was taken to the local los-
pital at 1855 Saturday night, the To-
cal police having been notified by the
Woodbridge authorities of the affair
and investigated. It is the belief that
Whites tole the car from New B-uns-
wick and was going in the direction
of Newark to make his escape when
the blowout caused him to stop.
