they advance they find the French
positions stronger and stronger and
fresh artillery has been going to the
front for a week to reinforce the
French batteries,
The fact that Verdun is nearly two
thirds surrounded by German troops
is now regarded as significant in
military circles, for it is believed that
the Teutons have advanced about as
far as they will be able to go west
of Verdun, which is the only point
where the Kaiger's forces may move
forward to close the gap dn the circle.
It has been shown that the Ger
mans can not advance from St. Mi
hiel to close the hole in the ring, mak
ing it necessary for them to move
southward along the west bank of the
Meuse or in the Argonne if they are
going to carry to a successful con
clusion thelr enterprise of surround
ing Verdun,
The southernmost point attained by
the Germans In the Argonne is a po
sitlon southeast of La Chalade, and
the distance from this place to St
Mihiel is 34 miles. Hill 265, south of
Forges, the farthest south which the
Germans have moved on the west
bank of the Meuse, I& 28 miles from
St. Mihfel.
Big Gap to Close.
Thus if the Germans are to ciose
the gap from La Chalade they must
advapce 34 miles, driving the French
from powerful positions. If they try
to forge the ring by moving south
from fim 2686, they not only have to
advance a distance of 28 miies, but
to sllence six or eight of the most
powerful forts in eastern France.
The total of the German advance
on the west bank of the Meuse yes«
terday was not over 200 yards, ac
cording to dispatches from towns be
hind the front. Military men hold
that the capture of Forges was with
out any importance, for the place
holds no strategic importance what
soever,
The military eritic of The Echo de
Paris, who is regarded as one of the
soundest writers on war matters in
France, says:
“The Germans ocan triumphantly
announce that Forges has been cap
tured, but what good will it do them?
Forges is a tiny settlement, which in
time of peace has a population of only
460 mouls, It is by no means a mili
tary position of any value. The’slight
German advance in that region, if not |
followed by a huge offensive, is noth- |
ing more than an isolated hammer
stroke. A terrible task confronts the
Teutons if they want to bring up their
front west of the Meuse on a line with
their positions on the east bank, for
they must dislodge the French from
strong posittons dominating Regne
ville, Goose Hill and Dead Man Hlill
~-an operation comparable with the
taking of Douaumont,
“It is noteworthy, however, that
during the last few days the Crown
Prince has béen unable to mass troops
for a huge offensive at any point. He
has been contented to launch small
attacks on a narrow front, which, In
spite of their flerceness, have been
driven back by the ¥rench in most in
stances.”
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, anoth
er writer on military affairs, declares
that the German attacks have not
only become weaker, but are less con
centrated.
“These insignificant blows have
been repeated a number of times, but
we have, learned not to fear them,”
writes Lieuternant Colonel Rousset.
“Unless they are designed to cloak a
riew offensive at some other point on
the front, they serve no useful end.”
Jos. Reinach, the historian, takes a
more cautious view of the Verdun sit
uation, saying:
“For the moment no new attacks
against Pepper Hill and Douaumont
are officially announced. However,
the Kaiser 1s not the Duke of Bruns
wick. Do not think that he has or
dered a discontinuation of the bat
tle”
The latest news available shows
that the French line is now restlnf
on strong positions on Goose Hill,
Cumiers Wood, Corbeaux Wood and
Bethine Court, forming a salient in
the German front.
It 18 believed that the French thus
far have made no determined effort
to frustrate the German offensive. It
1s expected, however, that they will
make their first real stand upon the
present line of defenses.
“The German losses have been so
heavy that on Monday the Crown
Prince asked General Petain for a
ten-hour armistice to bury his dead,”
says The Journal. “The Brandenbur
gers and Pomergnians were piled up
in heaps.
“The Germans have advanced far
eénough into the loop of the Meuse to
establish communication by pontoon
with SBamogneux, on the eastern bank.
There is nothing ai‘nmca?f:. however,
In the withdrawal of the French on
their right flank. That was necessary
in order to rectify the lines ard pre

that the warning must be heeded and
that nothing be left undone ot assare

Government organs, on the con

WASHINGTON, March B.—“ The

Bernstorff Presents Memorandum
Amplifying Orders to Sink
Armed Ships. |
Continued From Page 1,
starve Germany into “submission by
these illegai means, |
Germany Complied. |
“Germany, after neutral citizens
‘had lost their lives against her wishi
!and intention, nevertheless comnlied‘
with the wishes of the American
Government regarding the use of her
submarines. The right of neutrals
regarding legal trading were, in fact,
'nowhere limited by Germany,
~ “Then England made it impossible
‘for submarines to conform with the
inld rules of international law by arm
ing nearly all merchantmen and by
ordering the use of guns on merchant
vessels for attack. Photographic re
productions of those instructions
have been transmitted to neutral
governments with the memorandum
of the German Government of Febru
ary 8, 1916.
“These orders are obviously in con
tradiction with the note delivered by
the British Ambassador in Washing
ton to the American Government on
August 25, 1914. On aceount of the
proposals, made by the United States
on January 23, 1916, regarding dis
armament, the Imperial Government
hoped that these facts would enable
the neutral governments to obtain the
disarmament of the merchant ships
of her opponents., The latter, how
ever, continued with great energy to
arm their merchantmen with guns.
“The principle of the United States
Government not to keep their citizens
off belligerent merchant ships has
been used by Great Britain and her
allies to arm merchant ships for of
fensive purposes. Under these cir
cumstances merchantmen can easily
destroy submarines, and if their at
tack fails still consider themselves in
safety by the presence of American
citizens on board.
False Flags Ordered.
“The order to use arms on British
merchantmen was suppleménted by
instructions to the masters of such
chips to hoist false flags and to ram
U-boats. Reports on payments of
premiums and bestowal of decora
tions to successful masters of mer
chantmen show the existénce of thess
orders,
“England’s allies have adopted the
position, ’
“Now, Germany is facing the foi
lowing facts:
“(a) A blockade contrary to inter
national law (compare American note
to England of November 5, 1915) hul
for one year been keeping neutral
trade from German ports and is mak
ing German exportg impossible,
' “(b) For eighteen months thréugh'
the extending of contraband provi
’-lnns in violation of international law |
(compares American note to England
of November 5, 1915) xho overseas
trade of neighboring néutral coun-‘
tries, so far as Germany is concerned,
' has been hampered.
“(0) The interception of mails in
violation of international law (com
pare American memorandum to Eng
land of January 10, 1916) is meant to
stop any intercourse of Germany with
foreign countries, '
. “(d) By systematically and increas
ingly oppressing neutral countries,
following the principle of ‘might be
fore rlg&t.’ England has prevented
neutral trade on land with Germany
80 as to complete the blockade 6f the
central powers intended to starve
their civil population.
“le) Germany's men by our ene
mies on the high seas are deprived of
their liberty, no matter whether they
are combatants or noncombatants,
Armed for Offensive.
“(f) Our enemies have armed their
merchant vessels for offensive pur
poses, theoretically making it tmpos
‘nlhle to use our U<boats according to
the prineciples set forth in London
declaration (compare American mem
orandum of February 8 1918).
“The English White Book of Janu
ary b, 1916, on the restriction of Ger
man trale, boasts that hy the British
measures Germany's export trade has
been stopped almost entirely, while
he‘:-‘ imports are subject to England's
will, .
“The Imperial Government feels
confident that the people of the Unit
ed States, remembering the friendly
relations that for the last hundred
vears have existed between the two
nations, will, in spite of the diMcul
ties put into the way by our enemies,
appreciate the German viewpoint as
laid down above.”

Continued From Page 1.
Pannelle, where the Pannelles were
staying, had left the house Wednes
day before the tragedy occurred,
going up town to her work. She was
vigorous in her denial that her son
mistreated his wife.
“My son never struck a woman in
his life,” she said. “They had their
quarrels, of course, but never any
thing serious. They were ail right
when 1 left home this morning, and
apparently happy. I went into their
room and kissed them good-bye be
fore I left.” : \
Mrs. Pannelle’'s two sisters and her
eldest daughter, Elva, called upon her‘
at the police station Wednesday aft-‘
ernoon. Mrs. Pannelle went into a
fresh frenzy of hysterics, fell into her
sister's arms and fainted. A physi
cian was called and soon restored her
to consciousness. She sobbed contin
| ually of her sorrow for her poor chil
dren and the disgrace she had brought
upon them. She seemed to take lit
tle interest in her own future.
The body of her husband had been
removed to Greenberg & Bond's un-
Aertaking establishment, but Mrs.
Pannelle expressed a wish that it be
buried by Harry G. Poole. She ex
hibited interest in several details of
the funeral arrangements, which had
not been completed Wednesday aft
ernoon.
The Pannelles had twice been mar
ried to each other. Hilva, the eldest
daughter, was born of their first mar
riage. They separated about ten years
ago, but subsequently were reconciled
and went through a second ceremony,
The two younger children were born
after this, .
The couple formerly had lived in
Atlanta, but had traveled around a
great deal for several years. They
returned to Atlanta a short time ago,
and made their home with Pannelle's
mother,
The police first heard of the trag
edy, which occurred at 7:40 o'clock,
when they received a call sent in by
the daughter, Elva.
The three children were crying
in {errof when the officers arrived.
They begged that the police not take
their mether to J.n, and they guieted
them by preten lni they would only
take her “around the corner to see a
lawyer.” Mrs, Pannelle willingly con
sented to the subterfuge.
Called on Chief.
Mrs. Pannelle and her sister, Mrs.
Bell, called upon Chief of Police
Mayo Monday to say that Mrs. Pan
nelle was afraid of her husband and
to ask advice.
“He has threatened me several
times,” Mrs. Pannelle said. “He is
in love with another woman, Chief.
IHe made a proposal to me that we
move to some strange place where
nobody knows us and he would live
with both of us. T refused, of course,
and T am afraid he will kill me.”
C‘hief Mayo wrote to Greensbora, the
former home of the Pannelles, and
learned that Pannelle had no criminal
record there. Mrs. Pannelle begged
that nothing be sald of her visit, as
she feared her husband would kill her
if he learned of l:. h
Shot Six Times.
The trgedy occurred about 7:39
o'clock ednesday morning. Mrs.
Pannelle shot her husband six tim-s
with a revolver. Then she told Elva,
|ls. her eldest deughter, to call
the police station. Call Officers J. W.
McWilliams and G. C. Watson re
sponded. They found Pannelle dead
on the floor, with a long razor strop in
his hand.
“I had to do it,” the wife =aid sim
ply. “He was beating me with that
strop.”
In the room when the shooting ooc
curred were the three children—Rilva,
Helen, 8, and Mildred, 6. They were
trying bitterly when the officers ar
rived.
Pannelle was a cléaner for the San
itary Dry Cleaning Company. The
family had come to Atlanta from
Greensboro, N. C., about three weeks
ago.

Former Pastor Definitely States
He Can Not Consider Offer
From Tabernacle.
KNOXVILLE, March B.—The Rev.
Dr. Len G. Broughton is not receptive
to a call to the Baptist Tabeinacle in
Atlanta. He stated to-day that he
was not in a position to® consider At
lanta’s proposition, even if it were
made. He came to Knoxville April
1 of last year as pastor of the First
Baptist Church, and has done wonder
ful work here in reorganizing this
church,
During the last few days there has
been considerable agitation in Knox
ville concerring press reports that
have come from Atlanta relative to an
effort to induce Dr. Broughton to re
turn to Atlanta and resume the pas
torate of the Tabernacle, which he
held for more than fifteen vears be
fore going to the pastorate of a great
London church four years ago.
Interest in Knoxville has been gen
eral. All the churches xd busginess
organizations have shared with the
congregation of the First Baptist
Church in expressing thelr deep con
cern in the reports. Dr. Broughton
has been kept busy answering ques
tions and entertaining callers anx
ious to have him remain in Knoxville.
Dr. Broughton has from the first
declared he has received no official
notice whatever of a call or prospect
ive tender from the Atlanta Taber
naclé congregation. Requested to
make a definite statement in view of
continued reports from Atlanta, he
said to-day:
“I reajize that the situation is most
unfortunate. The Tabernacle Church
has not said one word to me, and un
der ordinary circumstances I should
have nothing to give to the publie,
but the circumstances are not ordi
nary. The constant agitatian is not
good for any of the interests involved.
“I love Atlanta and almeost adore
the name ‘Tabernaele.’ For more than
fifteen years my life was poured out
with the good people that have made
that name go sacred to me. No one
can know what it means to me and
no one can ever know how dear are
the ties that bind me to those who, for
the long struggling years, helped me
carry on the many agencies that
clustered around the church and so
wonderfully blessed humanity.
“But the Atlanta church knows al
most as well as I do.that I am not
at present in a condition that would
warrant my undertaking the work
again, even if it should desire me to
do so. I feel that I have just as
much work here in Knoxville as I can
possibly do and I must not think of
of any other fleld of labor whatever.
“I trust this will put at rest all
agitation which, I agdin say, has been
most unfortunate and for which
neither the Tabernacle nor myself is
responsible in any way.”

ITALIZED fiction judiel-
Vonly shaped in pursmance
of & sane purpose, is the
readiest method of culti
vating opinion. Conviction of
the truth of this proposition leads
mé to write something respect
ing David Graham Phillips’'s “The
Story of Susan Lenox—Her Fall
and Rise,” which is being pub
lished In Hearst's Magazine.
The book is elevated by being
written with a wholesome pur
pose. Mr. Philllps had a cour
ageous purpose and he moved to
it unfaiteringly. The heroine of
the novel was born under a cloud.
Susan Lenox Was a Victim of
Conventional Injustice.
She was illegitimate. That
means that she was not legally a
girl. Had no right to be any
thing. The world was not a suit
able place for her to enter, or
rather she was not a suitable
thing to enter the world.
Mr. Philllps found so mech in
his heroine that was true, strong
and sweet that the damnation
theory smote him. He put
her in all sorts of sitnations and
cast her down into every va
riety of abyss in order to satisty
himself or rather to sstisfy
others, whether she was a child
of Satan or a child of God.
He tortured her by forcibly
marrying her to & male creature
that was onefourti man and
three-quarters brute, and a filthy,
half-witted brute at that. He
tortured her by afflicting her with
poverty. He tortured her by re
ducing her to compulsory associa
tion with men and women that
were cunning, grasping and low.

touching the unclean thing; ons
effect is to drag one still lower.
Sin naturally begets sin. A fall
ing body tends to fall more and
more rapidly. So does a falling
soul tend to fall more and more
rapidly; but all depends on the
soul. There are cases where sin
strikes the soul dead. There are
also cases where sin brings back
a dying soul to moral consclous
ness. It de(ends on the soul
Phillips belleved there is no
moral fatality In illegitimacy.
He did not cohbstrue her birth
in that way' He held that {lle
gitimacy defrauded Susan neither
of her proper prerogatives nor
robbed her of possibllities open
ing the way to attainments as
fine, as womanly, as angelic ams
those of any other woman. Thak
was the final stroke of discipline
that the aathor inflicted m
Susan. He let her fall and
let her show that to fall is not
necessarily fatal, and that sven
in the midst of a debased axperh
ence there i stilli room for that
kind of moral elasticity that
works itself out in the rebound.
And so we have the story of the
fall, supplemented by the recital
of the rise of Susan Leénox.
