witnesses for the state in its attempt

testify, yesterday, but was received
coldly by the prosecution.
He was represented as offering to
testify that he met Hauptmann and
conducted negotiations with him in
March, 1882. His confession, made
to police before his trial on a
charge of obstructing justice, adj
mitted his entire story was pure
fabrication. In view of this the
prosecution probably would not care
to call Curtis.
The defense, however, might try
to substantiate a theory that Curtis
actually was in touch with a gang
which might be presumed to be the
actual kidnapers. Building up Of
such theory might tend to weak

FINISH BATTLE
OPENS IN CHACO
Paraguayan and Bolivian
Troops Locked in De-
CiSive Fight.
Copyright 1884. BY United Press

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 29.-Para-
guayan and Bolivian armies were
locked today in a finish fight on
three fronts in the Gran Chaco.
Enduring torrid heat by day and
freezing cold at night, some of
them with little food and almost
no water, they fought with every
weapon of modern war from bay
onets to aerial bombs.
The fight had moved in from the
jungle regions of months ago where
wild animals fled in terror from
the firing. The armies, estimated
to be 10000 strong, we're fighting
now for Villa Monies, he great
Bolivian army base at Jne edge of
the Jhaco and key to the inesti-
mably rich oil fields of the Chaco
and Bolivia proper.
Dispatches from the front to the
Bolivian war office indicated the
tacit certainty in the minds of the
high comand that the big battle of
the bitter war was on.
Between now and January dhen
the League of Nations Advisory
Committee meets in another effort
to end the war, it seemed that the
entire issue might be determined
stalemate caused by stubborn
Bolivian defense, or victory
brought about by a Paraguayan adj
vance to Villa Monies.
For weeks the Paraguayans have
been thrusting toward Villa Monies
while the Bolivians have been en-
gaging in a series of strategic re-
treats by which they hoped to select
their own grounds for a stubborn
defense of the area.
