that the spirit of emulation would be
aroused among the armies thus fighting
side by side. 1t was argued that this

in the north.

KANSAS CITY, March 3-Mrs.
Myrtle A. Bennett, 35-year-old widow
accused Of numbering her husband, was
10 take the witnessastand today in a
trial interrupted by her tears.
Mrs. Bennett wept unTestrainedly
yesterday as her mother, Mrs. Alice
Adkins. 81, testified concerning the
fatal shooting OF John O. Bennett, fol-
lowing a bridge game quarrel Septem-
Der 20. 1929. The eyes Of James A.
Reed. former United States Senator
ana chief OF defense counsel. were moist
James r. Page. prosecuting attorney,
demanded recess until the defendant
can calm herself"
The jury went out with Mrs. Ben
nett protesting between sohs:
III be all right. I'll be all right"
Husband Quick Tempered"
J. Francis O'Sullivan of defense
counsel announced Mrs. Bennett would
be placed on the stand after the dis
nisSal OF Mrs Adkins and State cross
examination OF the other witnesses.
Mrs. Adkins described Bennett as
"quick-tempered."
They we're congenial couple" she
said, never had any serious trouble o.
any kind"
She related, however, Bennett had
struck his wife, and that on one occa-
sion she returned home from a trip with
a diScolred eye.
Mrs. Adkins bit her lips as her daugh-
ter Sobbed, but did not give way to weep
ing. Mrs Adkins related her daughter
obtained pistol from her room just be-
fore the shooting, saying Jack wants
his gun. He's going to st. Joseph.
Experts TO Test Weapon.
Pistol experts were to test the weapon
used in the shooting today to determine
the range at which 1t would mark the
polo shirt worn by Bennett as did the
two bullets which killed him.
Edward Hickman, defense expert. tes-
titled Bennett's wounds, under the left
arm and in the back, could have been
suffered in struggle. Reed refused TO
heed the prosecutors demand that he
demonstrate.

parison. When Weygand expressed
himself, 1t was quite certain that Foch
would take the same view. Both during
the conference and afterward the cm-
phasized the opinion, which we all held,
that every effort Shoul be made to win
the war In 1919.
Foch said the French and British
Armies and people were tired of the
war and that the minimum result re-
quired of the campaign in 1919 would
be to free Northern France and at least
part OF Belgium. This would demand
that all three allies should utilize all
available divisions in co-ordinated at
tack.
The thought was expressed, especially
by Weygand, that certain spirit of
emulation among the allied armies
would be necessary to coordination and
that the attacks should be launched in
the same general region, with interde-
pendent detectives, conception which
would accord with the principle of con-
centration Of effort.
With the British front extending to
the vicinity of AmienS and the French
from there to the vicinity of Rheims,
the location of the Americans, because
of the ports and railroads serving them
would be to the east, but coordination
OF attacks would forbid them going
farther east than the sector Rheims
Argonne. This division of the front,
both Foch and Weygand thought, would
correspond to the forces available in
1919, and also to the peculiar necessi-
ties that governed the location Of troops
of the various nations.
The objective, 1t was stated. other
than the enemy forces, would naturally
be the railroad net to include the lateral
railway from Mezieres via Cambria to-
ward Valenciennes and the north. If
this line were cut, it would throw the
bulk of the enemy's traffic on those
through Liege and would force a con-
siderable portion of the army back
against the rocky and heavily wooded
Ardennes This would cause the enemy
much embarrassment and compel him
to relinquish the territory in Northern
France and at least part of Belgium.
The strongest reason advanced at
the time in support of their general

TR0TSKY SAVES DATA
ON REVOLT OF REDS
But Secretary Holds Burning of
Other Notes Is Great Loss
to History.
Nv tha Assnciated Press

By the Associated Press
1STANBUL, Turkey, March 3.-De-
struction Of private papers of Leon
Trotsky, exiled Russian Bolshevik
leader, when his villa on Prinkipo
Island burned Sunday, was an irrepa-
rable loss both to Trotsky and history,
his secretary, Jan Frankel, said today.
The secretary, Trotsky, Nine. Trotsky
and their son struggled desperately
while the ceilings of the burning villa
crashed upon them and managed to
save the manuscript of the completed
first volume of a history of the Rus
sian revolution and notes for the sue
ceeding unwritten volumes.
The flames, however, devoured an the
material for a projected book on con-
temporary European and Asiatic states
men. This material consisted largely of
Trotskys ptvate, correspondence with
the statesmen, letters which cannot be
replaced.
Despite his own crushing loss, Trotsky
Is acquiescing in the request Of his
friend, Upton Sinclair, California writer,
that he translate Sinclair's books into
Turkish. He has chosen a young
Turkish woman, Esma Zafir, great
granddaughter Of Abdul Kadir, the last
sultan Of Algeria, to aid him in the
work.

going to be still more American than
any of you America must have her
place in the war. America has the right
to have her army organized as such.
THE American Army must become
an accomplished fact. Moreover, the
cause of the allies will be better served
by an American Army under its own
chief than if its units are dispersed
Therefore, it is necessary at the
earliest possible date to constitute an
American Army side by side with the
French and British armies, and it Is
necessary to make the American Army
as large as possible"
Superior Number Needed.
Gen. Foch remarked that it might
be possible by the end of July to con-
stitute an American Army with at least
Is divisions Asked about the artillery
for some of our units whose artillery
Lad not arrived, he said Petain would
arrange that. He talked a great deal
that day. and went on to say that to
bring victory to the allies it would
be necessary for them to have an in
contestable numerical superiority.
Gen. Foch laid particular stress on
the view that the strength of the Brit
ish and French divisions should be
maintained and the number of Ameri-
can divisions increased as rapidly as
possible. Temporarily, he said, as long
as the present battle lasted he was go
ing to ask the American Army to help
the French Army by the loan of the
divisions that had not yet received their
artillery. He wanted them placed in
quiet sectors or sent to complete their
training in areas behind the lines
where they would be available, If nee
essary, to assist the French troops in
front OF them.
I agreed with the idea of putting
portions of the line, and we left the
details of assignment to be discussed
by Weygand and Conner
With my objective always in mind, I
again suggested that the assembly of
an American Army as temporary
measure might take place in the vi
cinity of Chateau T'hiery, to which
Gen. Foch promptly replied that this
accorded with his plans. He then re-
ferred to a proposed attack that might
occur between the Goth and 31st of that
month, and indicated that he expected
the LIST and I'd Divisions to take part.
He also said an offensive would prob
ably be made by the allies in Septem-
Der to reduce the Marine salient II it
had not already been reduced. He men
toned the possibility of an operation
in the region OF AIniens TO free the
railroad through that place.
FOch and Weygand Alike.
The impression this conference left
on my mind was that, although he had
spoken of an earlier date, Gen. Foch
was not really favorable to the forma-
ton of an American Army before Oc-
tober.
In their mental processes Foch and
Weygand were somewhat alike, and
speak advisedly in making this COM
