Thory That Mrs. H, W. Finch
Drowned Herself and Child in
River Is Abando~ed.
Ty
After hours of fruitless search,
county police Tuesday at 10 o’clock
abandon-d the th-ory that Mrs. H.
W. Finch and her two-year-old
daughter, missing from their home at
No. 67 North Howard strect, Kirk
wood, hod been drowned. The search
was taken up in Atlanta.
A hat and two.coats found on the
river bank near Bolton Monday were
identifi d as those of the mother and
baby. The conclusien was drawn
that Mrs. Finch, whose health had
been poor for some, had sought the
death of herself and her baby. At
once the dragging of the river be
gan. y "
Early Thursday, however, Laptain
Cheshire, of 'the ‘County Polige, di
recting the séarch, was given evi
dence that Mrs. Finch probably had
returncd to Atlanta after placing the
igarmen's on the river bank. The in-
L!ox-mati,,n came from a resident -of
Cobb County, a fruit tree agent, who
said that late Saturday afternoon, as
e stood at the end of the River C{'ar
ne, a woman carrying a baby ap
roach d him and asked the best
ay to get to Atlanta. Both were
areheaded, he said.
The Cobb County man told Captain
heshire he instructed the woman to
alk down the car line to Fisher
venue, which is the 5-cent fare lim
and there to board a car bound for
he city. She left him going in that
drection, he declared.
Another indication that the mother
nd baby were not drowned was
und in the lack of any signs of
eir bodies in the river, although an
haustive search was made for a
ile or two up and down the river
om the bridge at Bolton, The wa
r was extremely low, because the
m at Bull Sluice, above Bolton, is
osed every mnight, and tne bed” of
e stream is visible in most places.
i Mrs. Finch ‘is the wife of an ad
ster of commercial accounts, who
connected with the law offices ot
unciiman W. S. Dillon.
M:k Finch was said to have been
ill heal'h of lote, and her husvana,
adjuster ¢f commercial accounts,
o is connected with the law offices
ouncilman W. 8. Dillon. feared
e nad taken her own life and that
the baby girl.
Mr. Fincn discovered the'disappéar
e of his wife and baby Saturday
t on mas return from a triv out
the city. No nete or other clew
i be n left, the first intimation as
the pussible whercabouts of moth
land babt being the reported find
of the ccats and hat.
hese articl's were identificd
rvgh a purchase tickzt of a down

7. who were left at home when
-.gt away with the baby.
HINDENBURG ORDERS ARMY I
10 HOLD CANBRAI TO LAST*'
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Nov, 27.—Re-forming
their shattered forces, the Germans
renewed their counter attacks in
front of Cimbrai last night, but all
were repu'sed, the War Office an
nounced today.
British positions at the northeast
corner of Bourlon wood were heavily
assaulted, but the attacks were crush
d by the terrific fire of British ar
ti'lery and machine guns.
Burlon wood, which was the scene
of violent fighting Sunday; lies about
three miles west of Cambrai and
just north of the ruins of what was
once the village of Fontaine Norte
Dame. It rcsts on high ground
which dominates the German strong
held of Cambrai, and so long as they
retain 1t the Britisu can rake Cambrai
with their fire,
Bourlon wood is the farthest point
that the British lines have been ad
vanced in the encircling movement
gainst Cambrai, and the Germans
are struggzling furiously but fruit
essly to dislodge them. The wool
‘s slightly less than two miles from
the Arras-Cambrai road and when
this highway is cut Field Marshal
tlaig's forces will have opened the
way for a drive behind the defense
of Queant. y
Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the
iriving force of thz great German ma
chine, has ordered that Cambrai be
Leld “to the last man,” according to
statements made by prisoners captur
d in the fierce struggle raging around
Bourlon wood.
As the German line in the west
stands today the fall of this strong
hold would be a strategic calamity to
the Germans, and the divisionsg bat
tered into wrecks by the British drive
against the Cambrai defenses are be
ing re-forméd and sent back into the
fray as fast as the officers can per
torm the task.
Germ:an artillery, held in reserve at
the base of Lille, has been rushed to
the front and is now posted behind
Cambrai, Queant and Bourbon shell
ing the British lines. That Field Mar
shal Haig has the Germans guessing
is shown by th:ir nervousn:ss.
Dispatches from the front toaay
said that Gorman batteries all along
the front from Lens to St. Quentin
keep a steady shower of star shells
lighting up the field from sunset to
dawn, not knowing where the next
thrust will be made, ;
The Geormans apparently fear the
British tanks more than they do the
infantry, for tank attacks delivered
on the first day of the attack did
more than anything e¢lse to smasn
‘h: Hindenburg line, and they have
put a wholesome fear into the hearts
of the Teutons.
In fromt of Cambrai the British
have continued to launch their chief
pressure northwest of Cambrai, at
tempting to drive between the Ger

man base and Queant and thus get in
the rear of the German defenses
along the Drocourt-Queant switch, a
series of positions supporting the
northérn end of the Hindenburg line.
The big obective of the British
which lies beh:nd all of”the offensive
operations in northern France since
the opening of the attacks in the
spring is to break through to the
French coal fields and industrial dis
trict which lie behind the Hindenburg
line, :
Military experts express the opin
‘on that the fighting will continue
through the winter in spite of in
clement weather and muddy terrain.

Second Jail Delivery in Week at
the Police Station—Turnkey
Again Suspended.
Four United States soldiers. possi
bly practicing the time-honored
methods of escaping prisoners in the
event that Huns get them, “dug out"”
of the police barracks early Tuesday
morning-—tunneled thelr way through
a thick but very fragile brick wall,
and escaped.
And poor old Tom Bayne, turnkey,
is again the goat.
Tom is out of luck, it appears. Six
days ago R. C. Jester, an auto thief.
escaped by the same method. It did
not appear to have been Tom's fault.
If you can’t trust a brick wall, what
can you trust? is the way Tom looks
at it. :
But Jester escaped and Tom was
suspended for five days. Tom got
back on the jeb at midnight between
Monday' and Tuesday. It was just
in time tor him to be another goat.
for at 3 o'clock it was discovered that
the four soldiers had tunneled
through the brick wall in another
place and made their way out of what
is called the “ecity corridor,” whers
the prisoncrs not held on State
charges are locked up.
Suspended Again.
And now T'om is suspended again
because of course somebody has to be
punished when things go wrong, and
they can’'t find the brick masons who
put sour mortar in that wa'. some
generations ago, so the bricks would
all loosen up like a Marcel wave in
the surf and come apart with a little
prodding.
The soldiers are as follows:
Walter Domitrovitch, Battery A,
FFort Oglethorpe, charged with a mo
tor car theft.
F. B. Fair, Company 1, 1224 Infan
try, Camp Wheeler, charged with a
motor car theft; captured at Tem
ple, Ga.
J. H. Corder and Walter Fowler,
Jr., Company G. 118th Infantry, Camp
Sevier; charged with absence without
leave.
Tear Up Steel Bunk.
The four men were locked in one
big cell in the city corridor, guarded
on one side by steel bars and on the
other (presumably) by the brick wall
at the end of the corridor. About
midnight they tore up a steel bunk
and used portions of it to loosen and
p:y bricks from the wall.
With very little trouble ard prac
tical'y no noise they made an op«n
ing large e¢nough for a who'e Key
stone company to fall through, and
(as the o:d-time novelisis put it)
sreathed once more the air of free
dom.
That is to say. thcy beat it.
And poor old Tom is the goat again.
H=~ is suspe ded aftcr about three
hoars’ re nstatement, and will remain
suspended until the board meets De
cembrr 11, when his case will be cun-~
sidered.
GARFIELD URGES DRASTIC
MEASURES IN COAL CRISIS
(By International News Service.)
ROME, Nov. 27.—Repulse of an en
tire division of Austro-Germans with
heavy losses in fighting on the north
ern Iront was announced in today's
official statement. A large number of
rrisoners were taken,
“For a time,” the statement added,
“the battle assumed a grave aspect,
but Italian reinforcements arrived in
time to save the situation.”
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—From
the Asiago to the Piave the Austro-
Germans have suffered appalling
‘losses without gaining any advan-
Itage, according to an official cable
gram ‘from Rome today. Between
‘the Piave and the Brenta the enemy
‘has already worn out six divisions,
;these disptachns (o the Embassy say.
- The cablegram quotes The Rome
Tribuna's correspondent as saying
the forces of Krobatin and Von Bue
low united in the mountainous zone
between the Piave and Brenta Riv
ers, made a desperate effort to break
through the line, availing themselves
of their enormous reserves, estimated
at twenty divisions and easi'y shift
ed. With large forces hidden in th,
thickness of the forests, at one pointt
a sniall patrol of Prussians with ma
chine guns was sent torward to gath
er information and prepare the at
tack. * Shortly after the Austro-Ger
mans appeared in thick waves and
delivered a furious assault.
Wishing to avenge the wounding
of one of their officers ,the Italians
launched a bayonet attack with such
violence that all the Austro-Germans
who reached the Italien line were
completely wiped out. The enemy
renewed his efforts and de’ivercd at
tock after attack with unabated fury
In the confusion of the struggle
some enemy outposts fought among
themselves the Thirty-first Land-}
sturm, in action near Monte Frior,
fizhting an entire night against other
Austro-German troops, which were
tota.ly decimated. |

~ Reinforce Ttalians
| (By International News Service.) :
ROME. Nov. 27.—Seasoned P‘renchqi
and British veterans, who have faced |
‘German drum fire, poisoned gas and
liquid fire on the wess#rn front, are
‘now joining the Ital.ans in counte:
attacks against the Austro-Gurmanl
invaders on the Asiago plateau. i
Advices from the front today told
of the arrival of “fresh retntorce-i
ments.” |
The form'dable Austro-German at
tacks betwecen the Piave and Brenta
valleys have continued with the Teu
tons maneuvering to deliver a crown
ing blow but so far the gallant re
sistance of the Italians has frus
trated all German plans.
General Diaz's troops are striking
back all along the line and are deliv
ering strokes just as violent as those
of the Austro-Gormans.
There is heavy fighting around
Monte Tomba, which is regarded as
a critical point. The Germans, early
in their drive, made a slight gain, but
«ince then they have been held on tne
slop.s by the ltal.ans.
If the Germans and Austro-Hun
gar.arns can brcak through at Monie
Tomba and overrun the plaim it would
'seriously threaten the Italian l'ne on
the P'ave by cutting the Italian lines
of communicat’on.
Bulgarian troops are reported to
have r inforced the Austro-German
armies on the upper Piave and in the
Monte Pertica’s sector.

s WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Drastic
‘measureg to secure needed fuel for
the country were suggested to Presi
dent Wilson by Fuel Administrator
Garfield this afternoon. Mr. Garfield,
face to face with coal famine in va
rious sections of the country, which
threatens seriously to impair the mu
nitions supply and other war essen
tials, believes drastic measures must
be taken if serious results are to be
avoided,
~ While information concerning his
!plans was withheld pending action by
‘the President, it Is understood that
they include pooling of the entire
coal supply of the country and put
ting into effect a system of distribu
tion which will do away with con
gestion now existing at railway
junction points.
Under the Garfleld plan, his repre
sentatives would have control of all
coal mines everywhere, and would
report the supply on hand daily so
that it could be distributed to the
points where most needed.
Shots Are Fired in
.
Chase of Automobiles
Residents of the fashionable Dru'd
Hills section were thrilled Tuesday
morning by an exciting automobile
chase, in which the pursuer was fran
tically firing a pistol at the automobile
of the pursued.
The pursuer won. He was Deputy
Sheriff Jackson, from Athens, who had
discovered two men trying to strip
equipment from his automobile as it
stood parked on one of the boulevards.
The men jumped into a big Cadillac
and fled. with the determined deputy
following clescly in his own machine,
Jackson pulled his pistol and fired at
the wheels on the Cadillac, puncturing
the rear tires.
The punctures brought the big ma
chine to a halt. One of the men es
caped, hut the cther was arrested and
is held at police headquarters, He
gave his name as L. S. Sladamyre, of
No. 223 South Pryor street. The po
lice recovered from the automobile a
number of accessories which they be
l'eve wera stolen. |
Casings found in the Cadillac were
identified as property stolen from F
C. Wilkinson, of No. 72 West Eleventh
