After cruel hearing of the unnecessary and suffering that Alex Kalen- vicz had inflicted upon an oald, sick rse in his possess afternoon and evening, Judge J. T. Meskill imposed a fine of $50 and costs on the accused. The case was one of the worst of its kind that hay the local court in some time. The statements of Policemen William Sou- ney and Michael Massey admitted by the accused and corroborated by other witnesses were that the old horse was taken sick between 1 and 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon and fell in the doorway of the barn in the Tear of 45 Silver street. Kalenkavicz then tied a rape to the animal’s tail and, hitch- ing the other end to another harnessed Jhorse, dragged the prostrate beast out of the barn and into the yard. There he permitted the sick horse to lay in the snow, unprotected and without bedding, until it was shot by the po- lice at 8:30 p. m., more than six hours later. The only excuse offered by the ac- cused was that he bought the horse a week ago and found it was no good, so it was of no use to him and “as I am a poor man, what could I do?” ion on Saturday JOKE PROVES SERIOUS.

The American artil- lery replied shell for shell as the fir- ing of the heavy guns spread along several kilometres of frant. Two Ameri wounded during the bombardment, and one suffered shell shock. When the bombardment had reached its greatest intensity the Ger- mans suddenly concentrated their fire at two points, throwing about two hundred and fifty shells into a town in which the headquarters of a cer- tain regiment are located and which heretofore had been immune to en- emy fire. After the bombardment a wounded American soldier was discovéred in a position where it was necessary to carry him over a trench top to a field dressing station. A Medical Corps man displayed the Red Cross and the Germans ceased firing until the man was removed. Rarly in the day an American was wounded by a sniper. The whole American sector re- sounding with the boom of guns. Air- men became exceedingly active along the American front Saturday. Enemy snipers wounded two Americans slightly early Saturday morning. A shift of the wind cleared away the mist which has hindered aerial operations and other activities * for several days. A number of batties in the air were fought by patrolling ai planes early in the afternoon. In one instance the French aviators defeated an attempt of German flyers to cross behind the American trenches. The artillery and snipers also have become increasingly active. American 75s are harassing traffic behind the enemy trenches. The Germans are confining their fire largely to the American trenches. Throughout Friday guns rattled ceasele: positions. The French commander of 2 saus- age balloon squadron, who was an ar- tillery officer at Verdun during the heaviest fighting and also participated in the Somme offensive, declared that the work of certain American batte ies at the front is “almost perfect’. He was particularly pleased with tha work done by American guns in firing on a German position in a wood which he observed from a balloon. Tt was ascertained that the American gunners wrecked several of the enemy lugouts and so badly damaged the | first line positions that at one point the Germans were unable oceupy them Sunday. Carte Blanche For Newspapermon. night machine from German to credited to the American army have { been informed that they may procecd to virtually any point within tte zone of fire, except the trenches, without escort and without special permission. Arrangements were made whereby newspapermen may proceed to any brigade headquarters a few kilome tres behind the trenches after first re- porting their presence within the zone to the headqnarters of the division of which the brigade is a part. . Unless there is some occurrence which makes it inadvisable in the opinion of the brigade commander for correspond- ents to move nearer the front they may walk from his headquarters to regimental headquarters behind the lines. Since all roads immediately behind the front are within e: German gun range and under German obser- vation not more than two correspond- ents may move forward together. They must wear gas masks in alert position and helme Newspapermen must obtain special permission to go to the trenches and must be accompanied by an escorting officer. The fact that American troops were in the trenches in Lorraine was re vealed by the German War Office three months ago. At that time, ac- cording to an official German an- nouncement, the Americans were on the front at the Rhine-Marne Canal, which intersects the battle line near | the German border, due east of Nan- cy. This announcement was made in the official report from Perlin of the first German raid on the American po- sitions, in which three Americans were killed, five wounded and twelve captured The eastern end of the battle line in France and Belgium runs through French and German Lorraine. French Lorraine in which is an American sec- tor, is included in the departmenis of the Meuse, the capital of which ig Verdun; the Meurthe-ot-Mosclle, tha pital of which is Nancy, and the Vosges, with the capital a: Epinal. The lengt hof the front in French Lorraine is about one hundred and fifty mil This section of the battle «xtends into the Meuse, from the Marne, near St. Menehould, and runs eastward to the north of Verdun, south to St. Mi- hiel and east to the German border There it turns to the southeast and almost parallels the border to the vi- cinity of Leinty. Below Leinty it cu across a section of French soil, past 3adonviller and Senones and to the east of St. Die, and again crosses the German border at a point west of Gol- Swiss boundary is in Germany. Since the battle of Verdun there has been no fighting of great import- ance along this front.
