Valet Admits Mrs. De Saulles
Thot Husband Absent When
She Went for Child.
DRIVER CORROBORATES HER
Intimate Friend of Glain Man
Will Be the First on
Stand Today.
MINEOLA N. Y Nov. 22. Jullu
XIademek the AuKtrian valet of John
L. de Saulles admitted on the witness
stand In supreme court here today
that it was the hope of refining
possession of her young son that took
Mrs. Ilianca de Saulles to the home of
her divorced husband the night she Is
charged with having murdered the
former ale athlete.
Hadcmek had been summoned to
testify .In behalf of the prosecution
and Henry A. L'terhart one of the
defendant's attorneys asked him in
cross-examination:
"When you told Mrs. de Saulles
that her husband was not at home
what did she ask you over the tele-
phone that night?"
"She aHked If Jack was there"
Hademek answered.
"And by 'Jack' you Inferred that
she meant her son?" the witness was
asked.
"Yes" he replied.
Fibbed Over Phone.
On previous questioning Hademek
bad testified that on the night of the
tragedy Mrs. de Saulles had called
her former husband's home and In-
quired whether he was there. The
valet said that at De Saulles' direc-
tion he told her his master was at the
Meadow-brook Country club and would
be hack In one hour notwithstanding
the fact that De Saulles was standing
at his side at the time.
"What was the first question Mrs.
de Saulles asked when she entered
her former husband's home that
night?" was another question asked
Ilademek by the defense.
"She wanted to know the meaning
of Jack being kept away from her
so long" the valet replied.
"And what was the last you heard
her say to him before you heard the
five phots?" naked Uterhart.
"So fald "I want him' " was llade-
mek's answer.
"What did de Saulles say to thai :"
was the next question.
"He said 'no no' " the witnesses
replied.
"Thon you heard tha shots?"
"Yes" said the man on the stand.
Chauffeur Corroborates Story.
James J Bonner the chauffeur who
drove Mrs. de Saulles to the scene of
the tragedy had preceded Hudomek
on the witness stand also as a state's
witness. He testified that the defendant
eald as she got into the automobile:
"I'll give you a dollar if you get
me there In time."
Sho had Already told htm she wanted
to go to de Saulles' home "by the
shortest route" he said.
"If you got her there In time?" re-
peated Attorney fterhart. emphasizing
the last two words.
"Ves If I got her there In time"
Bonner replied.
The inference was that she wanted
to reach de Saulles' home before he
returned from the club altho there
was no direct testimony to that effect.
The fourth day of the trial began
this morning with only ten Jurymen
selected: The other two were chosen
from a second panel of fifty drawn
when the first panel consisting of ISO
men was exhausted Wednesday after-
noon. The Jury sworn District Attorney
Charles It. Weeks conducting the
prosecution made his opening state-
ment on the case his address occupy
ing less than fifteen minutes. The
taking of testimony was then begun.
Tomorrow the first witness will be
Marshall Ward ""Intimate friend of
John L. de Saulles. He was placed
on the stand late today but when Dis-
trict Attorney Weeks stated his ex-
amination would occupy "considerable
time" Justice David F. Manning order
cd a recess until tomorrow morning.

General Crowder Says United

Best Into Fray.
WASHINGTON Nov. 22. Maji
power exerted on the fields of France
will bring victory in this war 1'rovost
Marshal General Crowder declared in
a .statement of the alms accomplish-
ment and future of the selective sys-
tem addressed to members of the
local boards and made public here
tonight. After reviewing present
conditions and necessities. General
Crowder predicted that the selective
Bystem would become a permanent
part of America's governmental sys-
tem for war.
Every precaution possible has been
taken with the new draft regulations
General Crowder said to conserve eco-
nomic interest but the paramount
duty of the country is to organize an
effective fighting force.
"We are committed to this war"
he continued "and we ought to fight
it in the most effective fashion pos-
clble to us. The necessity of raising
an army iB paramount. The problem
is not to maintain the labor supply
of agriculture and every Industry in-
tact. It is to make withdrawal of men
in the most scientific manner pos-
sible. I think we have doib that.
"There are those who say we must
win this war in the economic field
with tho inference that tfl raising of
an army is a side issue. I say to you
that with any greater inroads into
the field of recruitment of our army
we shall be sending Inferior men to
the field. Thht if this nation is not com-
petent to make the slight adjustment
necessary to competmate for this
scientific selection then it is not com-
petent to enter the war."

GOSH DING 'EM!
'Tis Charged Wholesalers Are
.Bootlegging Sugar to Tulsa
Candy Makers.
They're bootlegging sugnr In Tulsa
and getting away with it according to
local merchants who have stumbled
on to the system.
Oklahomu for many years has been
recognized as the only blown-ln-tbe-bottie
dyed-ln-the-wool bootlegging
country but not even the most ener-
getic writer of W. C. T. U. literature
has ever thot to suggest that they
bootleg plum old cano sugar down
In the country where Red Ink Teruna
and other bitters wer once tho "Na-
tional Drink." -
Vein see It's like this.'
The price of sugar haa advanced-
due to the war.
You can't purchase but 25 cents
worth of sugar duo to the war.
Some stores are completely out of
sugur due to the war.
Candy shops reap their richest harv-
est during the holiday stacon when
son cries for a striped candy cane;
when She wants a box of bonbons and
Grandma wants gum drops. Holiday
sca.'ion Is candy season.
The only persons who aro assured
of a steady supply of sugar are the
wholesale dealers according to some
local merchants among them beinif
the one who has discovered the busi-
ness of bootlegging sugar to the candy
hhops. . i
' According to this grocer's story th"!
candy shops ore In the market for
every ounce of sugar to be purchased.
In this city candy shops have been
known to offer as hlg-h as a $10 bonus
on one sack of sugar and besides that
to pay tho retail price for the material.
With such bait according to the mer-
chant the wholesalers forget patriot-
ism for the moment and "deliver" with
tho result that merchunts are forced
to do without sugar; tho people are
forced to do without sugar and tho
candy man reaps tho profit. It was
declared yesterday that one candy
shop In the very heart of tho city had
10 bans of sugar up in tho small room
behind tho shop.
That there are grounds for such bold
statement by tfte merchants look
around and see If you see any pros-
pects of a candy factory falling to
secure a sufficient supply to meet tho
Christmas jemand for candy. Kvery
candyshop window In town is heaped
full of goodies made from sugar which
the merchants are seeking which you
are seeking but which neither can
secure because of the war and the
high premium paid by the candy
snops.

Admiral Von Tirpltz former German
minister of marine in addressing a
meeting of the Fatherland party at

that America would be bound to do-
sire our defeat. I regret that we did
not remain firm in the face or presi

been very different but now we must
take them as they aro.
"I would point out however that
from a military viewpoint. America

question that is decisive."

TtRlTISH ARMY IIKADQUAU-
TERH IN KHANCK Nov. 22. The
Rritish today were battling their way
forward less than three miles west of
Camhral after breaking Into tha
enemy's last defense line nt Anneux
and Cantaing yesterday. They were
drawing In on Rourlun wood which
dominates the entire section includ-
ing Cambrat.
Hrltlsh cavalry tanks and Infantry
were today operating along a line
running from west of Cambrai to tha
south of that town. .
Meanwililu tha offtinrive had been '
successfully prosecuted on tho left and
in the region of Dullecourt the tier-
man line had been pushed back con
sldnrably thereby widening the sa-
lient which the Hrltlsh have driven
Into the enemy territory to the south
and southwoHt tj Cambral. The at-
tack around Hullocaurt was a com-
plete success and something like
seven hundred prisoners were cap-
tured there.
Positions Consolidated.
Sanguinary hand-to-hand fighting
has taken place at many points. Dur-
ing the night three tierman counter-
attacks in Noyelles and Ruinllly were
beaten off and another thrust by the
enemy near Itullecourt was smashed.
Consolidation has been effected of
all the captured area in the region of
Cambrai except the village of Fon-
taine Notre Dame which has been re-
captured by the Germans in a counter-attack.
Tho present battle more than any
other in the western theater has
taken on the savor of fighting In
other wars when men struggled In
the open and cavalry made thrilling
charges against enemy guns. Many
military critics long have contendod
that cavalry was a thing of the past
but the mounted men have refuted
this claim.
Field Marshal Haig's blow against
the Cambrai front represents true
strategy. He had hammered at the
enemy in Flanders until they were
worn-out completely. He had driven
them back as far as the mud would
permit and had compelled them to
call on every ounce of strength they
had to maintain themselves. Then he
suddenly sprung his surprise attack
In an unexpected sector.
The Hlndenburg lines on the Cam-
brai front were the strongest the Ger-
mans had laid out In the west. Tha
enemy considered thorn impregnable.
Not only were they strongly fortified
but they were protected by a very
deep belt of barbed wire which it
was thot that only a protracted bom-
bardment by great concentration of
guns would cut sufficiently to allow
the infantry to go -thru.
Tanks Caned Path.
British tanks had never before been
en lied upon for such extensive work
but they did In a few hours what
tho artillery would have required days
to accomplish. The Hindonbcrg lino
was pierced absolutely on a wide front
anil to a greater depth than ever be-
fore. Tho correspondent today Inspected
tho main Hindenbtirg lino near Have-
rincourt and saw the amazing work
done by the Iron monsters. In most
places they hail no trouble either in
tearing thru the wire or in crossing
the trenches. There were gap-i In the
wire entanglements a rod in width
where not a vestli-e of wire was left
standing and by following the tracks
of the 'auks one could see where they
had trundled across the trenches as
tho they were merely scratches In the
ground Instead of wide deep ditches.
The tanks of course wont thru No
Man's fjnid under the full observation
of the Herman artillery and while the
gunfire was wonk semo fire was di-
rected on the tanks as they advanced.
H was In'eresllng to follow the trail
of the tai.ks and see where shells had
struck all about apparently without
dtlng damage for in tho whole
section the correspondent did not gee
one tank which had been knocked out.
The condition of the German
trenches showed plainly that the oc-
cupants had abandoned them in a
hurry. All sorts of equipment and
personal belongings strewed the
ground.
Gunfire. Weak.
Since the beginning of tho attack
the gunfire had been extremely weak.
No Man's Ijind showed cumpararii'nly
few shell craters today and this morn-
ing the llrltish guns were doing vir-
tually ull the firing along most of the
front Involved. This is a striking con-
