NEW YORK, April 24.—-Harry K.
Thaw, who went to sleep in the Tombsr
prison last night elated by his belietV
that he had won his long fight for a
jury trial to test his sanity, awoke
today to learn that he must await a
decision of the appellate division of
the Supreme Court before such a hear
ing would be granted.
This new check in his attempt to
legally obtain his freedom from the
Matteawan asylum, to which Justice
Page had ordered him returned, “as
due to an announcement made by At-
torney‘General Woodbury that the
state would ask the appellate division
for a writ of prohibition against the
order for a jury trial granted yester-l
day by Justice 'Hendrick. Mr. Wood-
bury's decision was made public after
Thawhad retired for the night. The
attorney-general contends that Justice
Hendrick does not possess power to
grant a Jury trial on the writ of habeas
corpus obtained by Thaw.

'1‘hat.this annual loss has within a
few years increased from eight him-

the ruthless destruction of our benc-

The new battle in Belgium. which has developed sud-
dcnly into one of the most important encounters in the
west since the present battle line was formed. is being
carried on by a relentless German attack and a determin-
ed resistance on the part of the British. It is now ap-
parent that the (icrmanVs have brought up htavy rein- V-
forccmcnts for this attack. and it is suggested in London ‘2.
that their immediate objective is the capture of Yprcs,
preliminary to another attempt to break through $0 the
English Channel.
An official statement from the British War Office to-
day 51135 that the British troops are still fighting for the ‘
ground which they were compelled' to yield to the V
(icrmans. The loss of these positions exposed the Cana-
dian division. which was compelled to fall back. The Ca-
nadians lost four pit-cos of artillery, but later re-capturcd
them in a counter-attack which, although occasioning
