GERMAN RETREAT A MOVE OF STRATEGY Berlin Editors Have Complete Faith in Yon Hindeaburg Berlin, Monday, March 19, via Lon- don, March 20.—The morning news- papers today gave the German pub- lic its first news of the big events on the front in France. All published articles by military experts explaining the movement as part of the strategi- cal plan of the general staff for a de- cision on the western front apd a master stroke to vitiate the prepera- tions of the Entente for an offensive, giving a decided advantage to the Germans. These writers are unani- mous in expressing the fullest confl- dence in Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says: “This is not the first strategfc re- treat Von Hindenburg has executed in this war. It is only necessary to re- member his great retreat from before ‘Warsaw and-the partial evacuation of Translyvania. “Thus far these retreats of Hindenburg@lways have borne manifold, so we may face the new measure of our highest military com- mand with well-founded confidence and the fullest assurance that it fur- nishes the preliminary to new German successes.” The Morgen Post. says: “The German people must have the fullest confidence in their leaders, especially Von Hindenburg and his able counseller and assistant, Von Lu- dendorff. Developments may be awalt- ed with calm confidence.” ‘“We must not forget,” says the Vossiche Zeitung, “that the same Von Hindenburg who began the Transyl- vania campaign and who, A 1914, evacuated a conquered strip of Poland to strike the Russians like a bolt of lightning now stands master of the battle zone on the western front.” Von fruit FLOWERS FOR TUTOR’S GRAVE.

Resigning as target for her knife- throwing sweetheart to become his mate for life, Miss Delia Lezinos, a cir- cus performer, yesterday afternoon was married to Chief Roy Deerfoot, a Choctaw Indian, Justice A. H. Condell | of this place, tying the nuptial knot. 'Deerfoot is employed as checker at the trinsfer station of the New Haven road, although, following his wedding, he announced his intention of giving up his place and moving to Bridge- port. The romance which culminated yes- terday had its beginning a few years ago when Deerfoot traveled with Pawnee Bill's circus. He is an adept at knife throwing and Delia served as his target, the pair thrilling the audi- ences with their daring exhibition. Deerfoot left the sawdust ring for the more prosaic life of a freight checker about a year ago. His sweetheart con- tinued with the circus until the close of the 1916 season when she went out with a show troup. The pair kept up their wooing through correspondence and yesterday the voung woman came here to be married. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Scott were the witnesses at the legal rites which were performed at Justice Condell’s home. Deerfoot is a full-blooded Indian and is a native of Oklahoma. He has a good education, received at Carlisle, where he gained considerable prom-, inence for his work as a member of the baseball team. He spent a number of years assisting in the thrills 'at “Wild west” shows and has been in every state in the union. . His wife is 2 half breed and is twenty-eight years old. Reports Profit of $65.
