been fortunate enough to obtain a
day's furlough and will spend the
day at home.
The city as a whole will nive the.
day over to an occasion of thanks
giving for the blessings received
during the pa.st year. So South
Bend home has been saddened by
the loss of a loved one on account
of the war, although there are many
where the absence of wimp member
who is either at the front or who is
preparing to go there will be keen
ly felt.
While th war, of ccnirse. has cast
its shadow in many home.--, there
will l a general observance of the
oocanion. which is always featured
by the time-honored feast, usually
at mid-day. High prices, however,
will curtail to some extent the pres
ence somewhat this year of the tur
key as the principal meat on the
irenu of the day.
Turkey Are Higher.
Turkey this year is from three to
live cents a pound higher than last
ear. while on the other hand
nicken is lower just at this time
than it has been for several months.
'onsequently, according to local
butchers and market proprietors,
chicken will replace the turkey to
:i large extent as the fowl of honor
;n many South Hend homes.
While same of the churches held
their Thanksrjrivintr day serviov last
Sunday, there are others at which

BELGIAN ARMY
AGAIN READY TO
TARE ITS PART
King Albert's Forces Now Ten
Divisions Strong with
Plenty of Guns and
Ammunition.
Associaled PreM Service:
HA Vit K. Nov. '28. Ten divisions
strong, the Belgian army is ready
to take its part in the offensive in
Flanders whenever the word i
piven. The Belgian minister of '.var
today told the Associated Press that
the lielian army was composed of
117.000 men at the hepinninp: of the
war, increased by "0.000 volunteers
in August, 1314, and reduced, to 60,-
000 men after the battle of the
Yser.
Since then, by the enrollment of
Ilelian refugees and the enlistment
of volunteers, who have braved the
live wire barriers on the Holland
frontier, it has been brought up to
10 divisions of well trained troops.
"If our army ha-s not undertaken
operations of a wider scope up to
this time." said the minister, "it is
because it does not devolve on it to
decide the moment when these op
erations should bepin. The army is
only a part of the combined allied
forces, actinc in unison and in ac
cordance with carefully developed
plans. The army has valiantly till
ed the rede that has been assigned
to it. It has just proved by its bril
liant participation in the last offen
sive in Flanders that it is ready to
attack with fervor and awaits im
patiently the hour."
Sadly ttiiiippcil In 1911.
Summarizing the work of the I5el
?!an army during the war and re
ferring to its dilMeulties and lack
of equipment the minister recall
ed that in August. 1M4, the army
had only one machine gun for each
1.000 men, only three field guns per
HOC men with ammunition for only
about S00 shots for each piece. It
had no liht mortars, no heavy artil
lery, no grenades, no trench equip
ment, no ambulance, no pontoon
crews, not a single motorcycle. It
had only 1,0 o bicycles, two cap
tive balloons, a fw superannuated
airplanes and n few posts of wire
less telegraphy.
"We had only .Tü.nnn infantry
after the battle of the Yser." said
the minister, "and it equipment
was in a pitiable state. Munitions
were lackinc and all of the differ
ent organisms were deranged when
the army base was transferred to
foreign soil.

EXPERTS HOLD
MRS. DE SAUI.LES
UNACCOUNTABLE
Testify Her Condition on Night
of Murder Showed Her
Mind Affected by
Hypothereosis."
Af Roclatrd Press Service:
MINKOLaA, X. Y.. Nov. 2S. Tak
ing of testimony in the trial of Mrs.
Bianca IeSiul!es on a charge of
murdering her divorced husband,
John L. IeSaullts, n eared an end
In supreme court here today.
Ir. Smithley Jeliffe, a widely
known alienist and Dr. Iouis John
son, styled a "physiological chemist,"
told from the witness stand of diag
nosis which they made of Mrs. De
8aUlles condition shortly after the
trajredy on the nint of A up. ?, at
"The Box," Des'aulles' Loner Island
home. Their evidence tended to
support the Chilean woman's claim
that she was not accountable for her
actions when she fired the revolver
shots which killed her former hus
band. "Hypothyreosis." the disease of the
thyroid gland, which her attorneys
maintain affected the defendant at
the time of the shooting, was fre
quently mentioned by the experts.
Incidental to their examination an
X-ray photograph purporting to
show that Mrs. DeSaulles also was
suffering from brain pressure result
ing from a fractured skull was in
troduced in evidence.
Maid rontradicts Ilcr-df.
Miss Susanna Monteau, Mrs. De
aulles maid, who accompanied her
on the auto ride from her home to
that of her former husband just be
fore the shootinc occurred, was the
only other witness examined today
whose testimony is regarded as hav
ing an important bearing on the
cn so.
There were discrepancies In the
maid's testimony today when com
pared with that she gave in a depo
sition taken by counsel for the
prosecution and defense shortly af
ter Aug. This deposition was
ready to the jury- I ist. Atty.
Charles R. Weeks pointed out ma
terial differences in the two accounts
of the scene in P?Saulles' living
room when the shots were tired, but
on the main points he was unable
to move Miss Monteau from her first
narrative.
"Mrs. DeSaulle? told me to go
with her that she was jroing over
to 'The Pox to get IPtle Jack." said
the maid in reference to her mis
tress' purpose in making the trip.
The prosecution claims Mrs, De
Saulles went to her divorced hus
band's home intending lo shoot him.
"Didn't Mrs. De.aulles tell you
just after the shooting that she was
glad she did it and that she hoped
he died?'
"That
Monteau
' asked Atty. Weeks.
Says It Isn't So.
is not so," replied Miss
emphatically.
The
maid's
third point on which the
testimonv remained firm was
her declaration that Mrs. DeSaulles
said on entering "The Box" that
she had come to take her hoy home
with her.
As to the manner in which Mrs.
De.aulles fired the shots and wheth
er DeSaulle was facing her or had
turned away, the witr.es seemed
