DRAFTS CRIPPLES
AND BOYS TO WIN
lly WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
(United Prrw Stall Correspondent.)
WITH THE BRITISH ARJIICS IN
FRANCC. May 35 There Is little
doubt that Germany hast embarked on
her last great adventure. In which
very man. boy, horse, and machine
win be used in a desperate endeavor
to gain a favorable decision during
the present fighting.
The German drafts are refitting di
visions which are about half com
posed of returned wounded and re
cruits. The' latter include some boys
of eighteen jears.
Youths Lack Stamina.
Few, if any. of the youths of this
fcge were in the line with the begin
ning of tb offensive when Ilinden
Burg depended largely on the class
of 191S, which fought with great im
petuoslty, but lacked the stamina to
win a victory.
A captured non-commissioned of
ficer of the Sixty-second Infantry de
clared that regiment lost 50 per cent
of its infantry personnel around
Sfeteren (on the Flanders front). Its
casualties included nine commanders.
Loose Are Demonflxinc.
Another prisoner says his bat
talion lost between CO and TO per
cent o fits effectives
A prisoner belonging to the 112th
Regiment says certain battalions lost
40 to GO per cent.
It is clearly established that the
German losses were high in both the
Somrae and Lys fights, delating the
start of the third push.

Vr.
Just one year ago Johnson was
graduating from the Medical College
of Virginia here with high honors.
Alice Knight was .1 stenographer at
the rollege while he was a student
there.
The motive for the crime, the Com
monwealth will seek to prove, was
to rid himself of a ife he did not
love, so that he could marry Miss I
Ollle White, bis sweetheart from
youth, and to uhnm he was engaged
to marry on Christmas Day of last
J car.
Fiancee Won't Testify.
Miss White, at first enraged to
llnd that her fiance secretly was mar
ried to another, turned against John
son and had promUcd Richmond au
thorities to come here and testifj
against him. but at the eleventh hou
she has declined to appear against
him.
Whether this Is due to her desire
to escape undue publicity or to a
change of heart toward the young
dentist is not known. Because she
resides in another State, the prosecu
tion is unable to force her to appear.
Smlrrbrd Her Character.
Xorth Carolina witnesses from Mid
dlesex, Johnson's home, will testify
that he swore he was not married.
Others, from Wilson, N". . where he
attempted suicide 1 swallowing aeon
itine In the Wilson Hospital. i'l
testify he denied he had been mar
ried to Alice Knisht and will testif)
that he cast reflections on her char
acter
Counsel for Johnson, up to th- time
the case went to trial todaj. continu
ed to maintain an air of serrecj as to
the possible line of defense they
would offer. Indications arc that .t
straight plea of not guilty will be
made
The prosecution will produce ev'-dent-e
to show- thnt Johnson not only
iHHight to purchase evanldo Just a few
davs prior to his wife's death, in sev
eral Richmond drug stores, but evn
tried to buy a quantity of the poison
in Raleigh. N ' A Richmond tlruggiM
! will testify that he -old Johmon
twenty grains of the poison and that
Johnson asked for Ike strongest he
uuld get.

The .selection of Jurymen, which

INDUSTRIAL ZONES
TO BE ORGANIZED
TO AD WAR WORK
Industrial zones each to consti
tute practically a complete economic
unit for war work are to be created
by the War Industries Board through
out the country.
L'nder the new scheme, being work
ed out by the War Industries Board,
unused facilities, thrown into Idle
ness by cessation of peace-time de
mands, wl'l be revived for war pur
poses. Flexibility of the Industrial war
machine will be obtained by this
step, it Is believed. Sharp curtail
ments in all directions are quietly be
ing put into effect by the War Indus
tries Board because ot shortages in
fuel, raw material, labor, and trans
rRAOE TURKISH'ATIP
They are just
like meeting
your Best Girl
face to face.
REMEMBER-There are no
others like your "B. G.
portation. Warning of Impending cur
tailments can be disseminated
through the sones affected and ar
rangements for needed war work to
replace the curtailed activity made.
Smoother readjustments of Indus
try will be possible. Manufacturers
in the various zones will have acces
sible sources of Information close at
hand regarding the Government's pol
icies. Hundreds of trips by Industrial
representatives to Washington will
be eliminated through establishment
of agents in the chambers of com
merce. The zone plan Is another step la
the process of scattering war con
tracts throughout the nation Instead
of concentrating them in the Eastern
industrial district.
A complete chain of information
and service bureaus will be developed
In each zone reaching down to the
smallest city where any available fac
tory fs located.
