' DOCTOR WAS ABSOLVED Coroner Herman Hellenstein, after weeks of dodging, to-day faced the merCiless grilling of Commissioner of Accounts Wallstein at the investiga- tion of the Board of Coroners. Be- fore the inquisition was an hour old great beads of perspiration trickled from the Coroner's brow as he at- tempted to parry the verbal thrusts of Wallstein, who was fortified with many volumes of records pertaining to Hellenstein’s term of office. Instead of going directly into the Hellenstein—the Commissioner unex- pectedly opened up with a brand new case—that of Josephine Taus, who died following a criminal operation at No, $63 East Seventy-fourth Street on Jan, 31, 1913. Wallstein attempted to show first) that Hellenstein had known the de-| fendant in the inquest—Dr, Edward | Lowenbein of No. 229 Kast Seventy- first Street, for sixteen years, Second, that although the Taus case was re- ported on the tour of duty of a for- mer Coroner, Holtzhauser, Hellen- stein had managed to take over the case himself. Third, Walistein intro- duced evidence to show that Hellen- stein had prepared the ball bond for $5,000 on which Dr. Lowenbein was released; that the bond was signed by a Mrs. Lefkowitz, whose husband is a physician and mutual friend of Hellenstein and Lowenbein, all three belonging to the Physicians’ Club on ducing »wed it was prepared by Hellenstein's secretary, did not bear the Coroner's signature, nor did he sign the affidavit taking the acknowl- edgment, The bond therefore was void. “It was an oversight,” was the only explanation of the Coroner, It was here that Wallstein, pound- ing the desk with his fist, dramatl- cally introduced evidence purporting to show the Coroner's jury at the in- quest was “packed” with physicians friendly to the defendant. The three doctors who served on that jury were Dr. Maruice Sturm, who was associ- losis fame, Dr, Sturmdorf and Dr. Ladinski. An effort was made to |introduce a fourth physiclan—a Dr. Bold, Wallstein brought out, but the |attempt was apparently regarded as |too brazen and Dr. Bol@ was excused, That Jury acquitted Dr. Lowenbein of performing 4 criminal operation on a woman, In spite of the fact that Dr. Hollenstein, sitting in a Judicial capacity, had previously received from Dr. Lowenbein an admission of guilt before the case was brought to trial. All this Hellenstein admitted in the three hours he was.on the stand this morning. Wallstein had made an earnest ef- jfort to shield the name of Lowenbein in the inquiry, but was unintentionally folled by Hellenstein, who permitted the name to pop from his lips in an unguarded moment, Hellenstein had just admitted he was called on the telephone by Dr. Lowenbein immedi- 8 reported to the District Attorney's office and the Coroner's office by a relative of the victim, Isaac Weingert case—supposed to be) | Wallstein’s strongest eard against “GERMANY DID NOT WANT W “FRANCE DID NOT WANT WAR.”—GEN.

PARIS, Nov. 80,—(United Press.)—The allied lines are now being advanced south of Ypres. It is declared here to-day that a gradual with- drawal of the Germans is evident. British and French troops are pressing forward, occupying the abandoned trenches. Throughout last week the artillery attack of the Germans gradually slackened and it is now declared that many of the trenches in the inun- dated section of Flanders have been evacuated by the enemy. Aouth of Ypres, which is in ruins from the German bombardment, the allicd advance has been cautious. Heavy artillery fire has been directed against the Germans, under cover of which new trenches were occupied, but a general offensive has not yet developed. ‘There is ample evidence that strong German positions on the flooded Yser have been abandoned, which indicates that the German staff is at last realizing that men in the German trenches in that swamp will be killed by sicknogs even should the allied guns cease to combard them with shrapnel.

When the Crown Prince returned he greeted me gore dially. “1 am very pleased to see you Here," he said, ‘and § hope that you will find plenty to interest you." The Crown Prince then proceeded to give, in English, his first interview: ‘am a soldier, and therefore cannot discuss politics,” said the Crown Prince, ‘‘but it seems to me that this whole business, all this action that you see around here, is sense= less, unnecessary and uncalled for. * But Germany was left no choice in the matter. From the lowest to the highest, we all know that we are fighting for our existence. | know that soldiers of the other nations probably say, and a great many of them probably think, the same thing. This does not alter the fact, however, that we are actually fighting for our national life. “Bince we knew that the present war was to be forced on us, it became our highest duty to anticipate the struggle by every necessary and possitie preparation for the defense of the fatherland against the iron ning wetom our enemies have for years been carefully and steadily welding around we wherewith to crush us. “The fact that we were prepared to defend ourselves is now : used as an argument in an attempt to convince the world that we not only, , wanted this conflict but that we are responsible for it, “No power on earth will ever be able to convince our people that thie war was not engineered solely and wholly with a view to crushing the Ger man people, their government, their institutions and all that they hold dear, As @ result you will find the German people are one grand unit imbued. with a magnificent spirit of self-sacrifice.” ’ The young commander of the Ger-* man forces was dressed simply in the] ried by English cavalry officers, “ax gray-green khaki of his troops in a] Our conversation had been ti lunitorm devoid of any decorations| progress but a short time when i #ave a very small insignia of his rank| became clear to me that the as Lieutenant General and his recent-| Prince, like 99 per cent. of the ‘iy acquired black and white ribbon of] mans I have met on the @ring the Order of the tron Cross.
