unanimously. The district in question

Judge Gregory is an old time demo-

At the Norwalk Hospital it was

hour the famous basillica is but a heap of wits.»
“I is the iuty of the government of the Republic to
denounce to univfirsal indignation this revolting act of
vanralism, which in giving over to the flames this sanc-
tuary of hist1ry, deprives humanity of an incomparable
‘ portion of its historic patrimony."

point of the battle never .will be reached until one side or

allies would accomplish this Saturday or Sunday on the
German right was not fulfilled, and apparently their ef-
‘forts are being continued today . -.

peril but so far the German commander has been able

British and Irenclr 'l‘cftf: , " .

body makes a stand 011 the frontier, but optimists among. .
the allied forces believe it extremely improbable that
Emperor Williams troops again during the “present War _
will assume a general ofi‘cnsivc on French territory.
{hey contend, however, that a retirement of the
German forces from French soil, must shortly become in;
evitable unless the offensive is assumed.’
In British eyes a further encouragement is seen in the
-~backward movemlent of the army of Crown Prince Fred-
erick William, which, it is argued, means the failure to
establish for the 1madcrs new and shorter communica—
tions by way of Mctz and the Rhine.
