I MOW ENEMY¥ LIKE GRASS At General Von = Falkenhayn’s Headquarters in Roumania (Via Lon- don), Dec. 10.—One of the most inter- esting features' of the Roumanian campaign, from a German standpoint, has been the spectacular work of the | new armored automobiles -evolved soots after the advent of the British “tanks” on the Somme front, but which the developments in Roumania have shown to be a vast improvement in efficiency over the Bri{ish. Every machine, in the brief tests it has had sincg the Germans crossed the mountains into the Roumapian | plains, the new German armored car | has shown itself an efficient auxiliary! to the ‘eavalry in patrol work, as it frequently can inflict infinitely more damage than a whole squadron and js | far more difficult to- destroy .than English invention. Its achievements so far include an attack on Roumanian infantry in which 300 were killed. Crew of Ten Men. The cars are twenty-five feet. in length, with wheels a foot wide and encased in solid rubber. They carry a crew of ten men including the machine gun operators, the chauffeur and one substitute and one officer. The machine guns can be operated -in almost any direction through the nar- row slits. At one end under the cus- tomary hood is a 100 horsepower motor and at the other end under a similar hood is the gasoline tank. Each man in the crew is an expert mechanic and chauffeur. 3 The automobile engine is both air and water~ cooled.

When the turret is closed, periscopes are placed in posi- tion, which permit a view of the surrounding landscape from all angles. . Hardly Dented at All None of the German automobiles of this type used in Roumania has as yet been disabled or destroyed by op- ponents. The bullets thus far en-| countered have -hardly dented the | shells of the machine, | The' chief advantage of the new automobile in contrast with the Brit- ish machine is that it can ruh at an | average speed of twenty-five miles an hour, as contrasted with the snail-like | pace of the Entente cars, its speed fre-. quently enabling it to scout even ahead of the cavalry and it can make its way over any road or even a field. | John M.

The booty taken by the Teutons is reported as “incalculable.” The fate of the Roumanian armies is in doubt, but they continue to re- treat before the Teutonic allies. The Russians again have launched strong attacks on the upper Moldavian and Transylvanian frontiers, but the ma- jority of them are reported to have failed with hefvy losses. Ground Is Gained. Some ground was gained; however, rth of Dornawatra, the Russian troops dislodging hostile forces also from two heights in the Putna valley and taking prisoners and machine guns. The battle south of Javornitza in the wooded Carpathians has ceased and the Russians have retired to their entrenched positions. I consequence of the retreat eastward of the Rou- manian troops, Russian troops on their left flank also have been com- pelled to retire. The entente forces again have de- livered attacks in the bend of the Cerna river on the Macedonian front.

The negro escaped and there is little pros- pect of his capture. Kennedy is suffering from' five frac- tures of the skull and his wife’s skull is crushed on the left side, above the temple. = A car coupling pin, weigh- ing about ten pounds and more than a foot long, was the bludgeon used by the man. The' attack occurred late Saturday night and the details of the crime were not learned until after 2 o’clock yesterday morning.

Into this family home the unidenti- fied negro walked at about 10 o'clock without even the formality of kndck- ing. The old man arose and asked him what he wanted. The negro said he was introuble with an automobile near-by and wanted some help. He asked the old \man to go with him. Kennedy arose' and strapped around his waist a belt and holsfér carrying a big revolver, He then went out of the house with the negro. Five minutes later the negro re- turned alone and said he wanted a pick and shovel. Advancing to the side of Mrs. Kennedy, who had arisen from her chair, he struck her a blow on the head with the linkpin, knock- ing her senseless. He then sprgng at the young woman and a struggle ensued. The baby in her arms fell on the dirt floor by Ahe side of the prostrate grandmother. The 1l-year- old boy and his sister ran screaming from the house. They had to go through the woods and the darkness nearly a half mile to the home of W, F. Patton, th; nearest neighbor Runs From Hpuse. Mrs. Kennedy's clothes were torn off, but she fought the black with savage energy until, finally, he ran | rine Freeman, state canning cham-| oyt of the house, leaving behind the bloody iron bar.

His holster and pistol were gone and his watch had been taken. The negro had evidently walked by the side of his victim until he found an opportunity to -strike him down and had then returned to the house. The belt and holster were found yes- terday morning, but the revolver had been taken by the negro. The most meager reports came to the Bluffs police station and it was not until after midnight that it was known that a real crime had been commtited.
