Bombardment Sign of Ger
man Determination to
Reach Coast Towns
^ Ijondon, May 1.— <2:r»n a. m.)—The
' British public has been greatly im
pressed by tlie German bombardment
of Dunkirk. The Times says the inci
dent is of small military importance,
but that it brings the war closer to
England's shores than at any earlier
period of the struggle.
“We have," the Times says, “in the
events of the past 10 days the clearest
possible proof that, far from being on
the run, the Germans at any moment
can resume the offensive in the west
v itto an ample supply of men and guns
and in a spirit that will stop at no;h
ing.- The bombardment of Dunkirk is
c-nly one more sign of their settled
purpose to reach the coast towns near
England and It ought to bring us out of
that world of illusion In which the
nation has been encouraged to gaze at
the facts through the mist of facile op
timism.
Passengers who arrived in Dondon
from Prance yesterday said that the
shells that fell in Dunkirk were of
large calibre and were supposed to
have come from guns at least 17 miles
Inland. Many persons were killed out
right, -while others died later from
their injuries.
“The bombardment,’’ the correspon
dent adds, “continued for one hour and
a half. Inhabitants hid in the cel
► ■ Jars or fled the town. The military
authorities of Dunkirk were powerless
to reply to the enemy's big guns, the
whereabouts of which was unknown,
but they opened a furious fire on ae
roplanes overhead and drove them off
On Friday morning all was quiet and
the bombardment had not been renewed
tip to noon.”
ROOSEVELT SEEKS TO
SHOW BARNES WORK
WITH CHAS. MURPHY
(Continued from Page One)
Rome burned. Davenport said Barnes was
outside.
Charles Duell, Jr., to whom Governor
Whitman sent the letter read In court
yesterday, applauded after Davenport had
mentioned ‘‘a political Nero,” and Judge
Andrews requested him to leave the room.
He hesitated and an attendant saw him
out of the room.
Admitted Conspiracy
Former Senator Newcombe declared that
he had accused Senator Grattan, republi
1 can, and Senator Grady, democrat, of en
\ tering into a conspiracy to defeat a direct
primaries bill, favored by the governor,
and that Senator Grattan said, "We ad
mit it.” Then L. W. France, chairman of
a committee of the Young Republican
club of Brooklyn, quoted Mr. Barnes as
having said he was “opposed to direct
primaries, because they gave candidates
too much publicity, and that he could
vote the riff-raff of the democrats in Al
bany in the republican primaries and so
disgust, the people that they would de
mand a repeal of the law.”
The Roosevelt counsel also got into
record testimony concerning the alleged
printing situation in Albany. The one
witness who testified, Michael Dolan, gen
eral manager of the Argus company of
Albany, swore that he had never had
any business relations with Karnes, and
in this coin/ .v ' . . »
in the oTi justice Andrews agreed
was _^/**'at«ment of counHBl that Barnes
mi no way responsible as a Stock
er in the Albany Journal company.
