PARIS, March 13.—French troops
in their counter attacks against the
left wing of the German army men
acing Verdun have scored a sSuccess, |
the French War Office announced in
an officlal communique -issued this
afternoon. The success was won inf
Le Petre forest, where the French
troops penetrated a German trench on
a front of 200 yards. The French re- |
turned to their original lines arter‘
setting off mines. |
The communique states that there
was no infantry action in the region
{o the north of Verdun. It says: ‘
“The bombardment continued dur
ing the night against Bethincourt and |
in the region of Dounaumont, as wellj
as in the Woevre region. .In the sec
tors of Moulainville and Ronvaux our‘
artillery is showing great activity on
the entire front. \
“In Le Petre forest a body of our
troops penetrated an enemy trench
near Croix des Cannes on a front of
about 200 yards. Having expioded
mines and caused some losses to the
enemy, this body of troops returned to
our lines with twenty prisoners. |
“The night was calm on the rest of
the front |
Air Squadron Busy. |
“One of our bombarding groups in a
night flight threw 30 shells of large
caliber upon the railway station of
Conflans, where five houses are known
to have been set on fire. Though vio
lently shelled, all our machines re
turned undamaged.”
All along the Verdun front and far
ther west along the Alsne River gi
gantic artillery duels raged all day
Sunday and througout the greater
part of the night
The thunder of the big guns could
be heard on the outskirts of Paris
Increased activity on the part of the
German airmen led to reports that the
Germans were carrying out fresh
troop movements behind their front
and that the German aviators were
trying to keep the French air scouts
from learning the destination of the
fresh reserves
Refugees are flocking into Paris in
great numbers from the Verdun dis
trict. They .tate that the small towns
of Elx, Moulainville, Damloup and
Bras, north and east of Verdun, have
been wiped out by the terrific big gun
duels.
Girl a Verdun Heroine
Officers from the Verdun sector say
that last week's slaughter of Germans
around Vaux reached a record mark.
Among the refugees arriving here
was 15-year-old Josephine Denis, one
of the heroines of the Verdun fight
With her was an aged peasant woman
whose life the girl had saved. Wher
the hamlet of Monthariens, a suburb
of Verdun, was bombarded the aged
peasant woman could not flee with
the other inhabitants because of |
nees. Josephine went to the sick
woman's side and remained with her
throughout the bombardment When
the old woman was able to walk she
and Josephine left the ruined hamlet
together
“It is now positive that a great Ger
man defeat at Verdun is certain’
writes Jose Reinach, the famous
French historian and war critic. “The
Germans will never get the fortress

RICHMOND, March 13.—Commit
ted for contempt as a result of his
failure so pay $75 a month alimony to
his wife, Mrs. Mary Waddill Furnival,
who sued him and was granted a di
vorce in August, 1914, Captain Rich
ard Furnival, U. 8, A, occupies a cell
to-day in the city jail. He can get
his release when he puts up a $4,000
bond required by the State Court of
Appeals, which has granted him a
writ of supersedeas. The army officer
was sent to jail by Judge Moncure, of
the Chancery Court, after being ar
raigned for contempt.
Mrs. Furnival, who is a daughter of
Judge Edmund Waddill, of the United
States Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia, was allowed alimony by
the Chancery Court after being
awarded a decree of divorce. Cap
tain Furnival noted an appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court. Meantime
he was ordered to pay alimony. He
had only recently returned from ths
Philippines, where he was stationed
when the divorce decree was granted.
When he was married to Miss Wad
dill in the fall of 1913 at her home
here Captain Furnival was attached
to the Coast Artillery Battery at
Fortress Monroe. His wife returned
home after living with him only a few
months. Not long afterward she sued
for divorce, excessive cruelty being
one of the grounds named in the peti
tion. Her action was complicated by
a cross-bill filed by Furnival. The di
vorce proceedinee took place in cham

their hopes of success on the atti

Commissioner Robert C. Clarke, of

Navy Enlisting
Villa Raid
tla haid
Young men between the ages of 18
and 35 who want to get into the
United States navy for service in
Mexican waters and elsewhere should
write Lieutenant W. A. Hodgman at
cnce. The navy is 229 men short of the
complement, which is approximately
52,000 and the first able-bodied 229
who apply will get the places.
The recruiting list received at the
Federal Building shows 80 more en
listments last week than the week be
fore, which increase is believed to be
due to the Mexican excitement. Sev
enteen applicants were received for
the week at the local office, and in-
Creases are expected from now on un
til th complement is reached.
Lieutenant G. V. Heidt, in charge of
the army recruiting station, reports
little change in the number of enlist
ments. An army engineer who saw
service in the Spanish-American War
called up and offered to join in the

Mrs. Hollie Pannelle, who shot to
death her husband, L. Edward Pan
nelle, in their home, No. 47 Chastain
street, last Wednesday, and in whose
case the Fulton County Grand Jury
Monday returned a “no bill,” was re
leased from custody Monday after
noon and left Police Headquarters
with her sister, Mrs. C. O. Pylant,
of No. 20 Hendrix avenue, with whom
;eha will make her home.
' Mrs. Pannelle was overjoyed when
told of the Grand Jury's action.
‘, “I knew they'd free me,” ghe said.
“T just had to shoot him in self-de
fense. I'm so grateful to the people
who have aided me in this trouble,
and especially to Mrs. Mamie Heard,
the Police Matron, who has been most
kind and considerate of me while 1
have been detained here in her quar
ters. T want to thank the newspa
pers, too, for the interest they have
taken in my case.”
The Grand Jury, F. J. Cooledge,
foreman, had consumed two hours in
hearing evidence before its decision
was made and a “no bill” .endered.
The testimony of little Elva Pan
nelle, 15-year-old daughter of the
prisoner, was saild to have been the
principal factor in swaying the Grand
Jury. Elva, who had maintained si
lence ever since the tragedy, broke
down and cried when the jurymen
questioned hsr, but she sivod braveiy
by her mother. She said her father
had threatend to beat her, that her
mother had protested, and then her
father said he “would beat mothor
instead.” Elva sald she ran out of
the room then and did not see the a:-
tual shooting.
The two smaller children—Helen, 8,
and Mildred, 4—were questioned by
the jury and they told what they
could, though evidently greatly fright
ened. Pannelle’'s mother, Mrs. Annie
Farmer, and his sister, Mrs. C. O
Holt, were examined, as were De
tective W, F. Harper, Undertaker Ed
F. Bond, Dr. J. W. Hurt and several
relatives of the Pannelle family.
The action of the Grand Jury prac
tically ends the case, it is bellaved,
It can not consider the charges againet
Mrs. Pannelle again, though a future
Grand Jury has power to reopen |-
It is not considered likely that a war
rant will be taken out for Mrs. Pan

this would merely hold Mr. Pannelle
for Grand Jury action, and in view of
Monday’'s decision this would be fu
