Women on the Battlefield

There was never a time when the
sacrifices and the help of women
were more appreciated than at the
present time. The influence of
women is felt everywhere. on the
battlefield. in the hospitals and
amongst the producers at home.
Conditions created thru this war
demonstrated the fact that women
can IN almost every case replace
men successfully. Women all over
the world realize more and more
that their work at home will help
:the men at the front. It involve.
great sacri6ees. hard work and un-
usual physical strength. Women
At home should study nursing for
war and for the home. "A good way

 IN CITY COURT

 Pocket of Brihodie.

Peter Gasurus, IS, of 404 Liberty street, and John Quay, 60 of 517 Wa ter street, arrested yesterday charged with picking the pockets of Steve Brihodie, no address, of $23, were each sentenced to three months in jail by Judge Bartlett in the city court to- day.
 According to the evidence Brihodie entered the restaurant in which Ga surus worked and called for an order of pork chops. Gasurus asked him if he haG the money to Fay for such luxuries and in answer Brihodie pulled out a bank roll containing $23 which he exhibited to the suspicious restaurateur. Quay then sided up to the man and putting his arm about his neck told him that he knew of a good lodging house and while going into details about the Water street hostelry extracted the s23 which Bri- hodie had returned to his pocket.
 When he took the money from his victim it was passed over the counter to the lunch man and the pair got rid of Brihodie as soon as they could, but not before he had missed his money and caused their arrest for robbing him.

CRUSHING OF GERMANISM
 IN AMERICA IS DISASTER
Koelnische Volks Zeitung Says It Balances Success
 of the German Arms. :, PRESS PESSIMISM
 IS WIDELY SPREAD Germans Will No Longer Be Able to Enter America,
 the Paper Asserts.

Washington, June 13-ln the crushing out of Germanlsm in the United States the koel- nische Volks Zeitung sees a disaster in a measure balancing the Teutonic military successes.
 An official dispatch from France to- day commenting on pessimistic dis cussion in the German press of events in the United States, quotes the Volks eitung as follows:
 'Mr. Wilson hopes to succeeded in crushing the German elements. He will succeed. The German press is already nearly crushed out of exist ence in America. The greater part of the German schools are closed. The German associations are required to strip themselves of all vestiges of Germany. It is complete debacle. -
 Ut is unnecessary to be pessimistic to realize that the consequences of our European victories are in a meas ure balanced by the sum total of the losses we have suffered in America. All this could have been foreseen.
 After the war Germans will no longer be able to enter America, the Hamburg American and North Ger man Lloyd lines are entered in the black book. Shipbuilding yards and offices have been sold with the prohi- | bition of re-selling to Germany after the war. The American press speaks of forbidding Germans to buy ship building yards. It will be the end of l German transatlantic commerce. Besides these maritime forces, German estates representing millions of dollars, stocks of copper, nickel, cotton, leather and chemical products have been seized and utilized to fabri- cate American war material"

OF HUNS DUE TO PERFECT SHOT OF SAMMIES Americans Clear Out Bal leau Wood, Northwest of
 Chateau Thisrry. SIX OFFICERS
 AMONG PRISONERS All of Germany's Plans Call For End of Conflict By
 Fall of Year. @

With the American Army in France, Wednesday, June 12-(By the Associated Press)-The excellence of the American artillery fire was largely responsible for the capture by American marines of approximate ly 400 prisoners in the fighting which resulted in the clearing out of the Belleau wood, northwest of Chateau Thierry. The Germans, who had been told to avoid capture because the Americans would torture them, start ed to run after the American machine gunners had made the wood unten- able, but the artillery barrage was so perfect that the Germans were cut off from escape.
 Among the prisoners are six of- ficers, a major, a captain and four lieutenants. All were poorly clad and some had pieces of bread tied to their uniforms with string. The pris- oners said they were glad to be cap tured- and several expressed a desire to go to the United States after the war to live.
 All of Germany's plans, they added called for ending the war next fall The prisoners were told, they said that the Americans had many negroes opposing them.
 The scarcity of officers in the Ger. man army is shown by thief act tha one of the prisoners, a first sergeant commanded a company. He said thi. was a common thing now. All tht 1 prisoners expressed admiration fo1 fighting qualities of the Americans. | The barn in which the prisoner were confined today in the rear of thu American lines held more prisoner of war than the United States hat had in one building at any time il more than 50 years.
 Comparative quiet prevailed alonj the Marne sector today.

riage ceremony
 After the marriage MT. and Mrs. Bullard went to Greenwich in 190i, where the plaintiff engaged in the au- tomobile business. There they resid- ed for il years. His wife aided him in the business until about three and one-half years ago.
 In 1912 there was a discussion over Boles. He came over to the Bullard home and told the wife that BulIard was having a good time and there wasn't any reason why she shouldn't and that she could have half of his Bullard asked her husband if he had sent Boles over to try her out.
 About three and a half years later Bullard noticed that his wife had be- gun to go away and to return when she got ready. He was forced to get his own meals or eat wherever he could. Then she came home on the late trains and invariably smelt of liquor. MT. Bullard described one oc- casion on October 21, 1916, when she came home about 12:3O o'clock, man. l ifestly intoxicated. They had a few words and she remarked that she ha6 i had good time and it had not cost him anthing.

The case was before Judge Warner in the Superior Court this morning. Bullard charges his wife with inf edlity with George Boles and names the specific instances. Philip Pond of New Haven and Raymond Hackett appear for the husband and Judge Banks for the wife.
 It was evident from the attitude of the attorneys that the case will be hotly contested. At one time Attor- ney Pond objected very smartly and Judge Banks humorously inquired, Why the excitement?" Judge Banks was seeking to prove the credibdlity of MT. Bullard who was on the stand at the time. On the direct examina- tion MT. Bullard had stated that he was married on March 2, 1905, in Som erville, N. J.
 On the cross-examination the facts were brought out that the couple were first married in St. Joseph, Michigan, in September 1902. At this time MT. Bullard had wife still living in La porte, Ind. The present Mrs. Bullard also, living in -Laporte, told him that it was imperative that he marry her because of her condition. She assured
 him that he could slip over to St. Jo- seph and be married quietly and no one would know of it. He finally ac- ceded to her request.
 In May, 1903, divorce was granted to MT Bullard. Then the point was raised that this Indiana divoorce was not legal Further divorce proceed | ings were instituted in New Jersey an6 a decree granted MT. Bullard on Feb.
