Mounted Patrolman E. J. Pate vnsl
shot and his partner, M. A. Hornsby, '
seriously cut in a pistol and kmfel
duel with Will Marshall, negro des-;
perado, whom they attempted to ar
rest for wife beating in the latter's‘
home in No. 20 Brooks alley, Sunday
morning. ‘The ‘negro was captured
after being shot three times. r
Patrolman Pate and the negro arel
in the Geady hospital. Officer Horns- |
by was sent to his home, No. 461
Beecher street, after physicians at
the hospital had dressed his wounds,
which consisted of severe knife
wounds about the head. 1
The two officers went to Marshall'sl
home about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing to arrest him on complaint of his
wife that he had seriously beaten
her. 3
A volley of pistol shots met the
men as they approached the steps
leading from the yard into the house.
They drew their revolvers. Sudden
ly the door swung open and the negro
rushed out, firing point blank as he
ran down the steps. In one hand he
held a knife with a long blade.
Patrolman Pate was shot in the
arm, the bullet ranging upwards and
fracturing the bone. The negro's pis
tol had been emptied, for he did not
fire again, but cut at the two men
with his knife, inflicting a deep gash
in Patrolman Pate’'s neck and slash
ing Officer Hornsby.
The negro fought like a maniac un
til, shot three times in the body and{
his nerve weakened, he surrendered. |
In the meantime police reserves had‘
arrived from police headquarters and ‘
a cordon of officers was drawn
around a mob of negroes that had
gathered and who appeared hostile. ‘

NEW YORK, March 31.-—The first
general phase of the Germans ‘“super
offensive’” has ended and the armies
in France are now preparing for the
second, or major, phase of the great
“super-Napoleonic” battle.
The . deadlock in the trenches has
been broken. Trench or “position
warfare,” except for temporary
ditches and hasty \‘digging in” for
cover, may nat be a phase of the
world war. |

ment" or “mobile wan” {n which tat
tics and strategy play an important
and often a wvital role. Both sides
have long called for combat in the
dpen—rfor war that is war—with its
thrills and sensations, its vast move
ment and sudden onslaughts.
Decision in the titanic battle now
rests as much on tactical leadership
and on strategical direction as upon
men and arms employed.
The great Armageddon is now a
vast “human chess board,” with Gen
eral Foch and Field Marshal Haig on
one side and Field Marshal Von
Hlndenbul_‘g and General Von Luden
dorff on the other side as the “direct
ing players.” Two armies of more
than 2,000,000 men are the ‘pieces
that are moved about.”
The conflict, therefore, is between
the greatest military master strate
gists of the world today. Tactics
and strategy have little relation to
trench or position warfare. It af
forded neither side any real oppor
funity to use tactics or strategy.
Initiative, nimble thinking, quick per
ception of an opening left by the foe
and speedy taking advantage of it,
feints, maneuvers, demonstrations,
thrusts and counter-thrusts—none of
these and many other factors in war
of movement had any place in the
deadlock of the trenches.
Now the “German school of strate
gy” is pitted against the schools of
strategy of France, England and
America, with the ablest generals
representing each school.
France has unshakable confidence in
General Foch, whose strategy defeated
that of Von Kluck in the battle of
the Marne. The German command
ers, however, have had large expe
rience in ‘“mobile war.” The Allies
have advantages, however, which may
offset this.
~ In the contests of the “schools of
strategy” in the war in the west, Ger
many has sustained one defeat and
! two checkmates.
~ Physically the British and the
- American soldiers are now superior to
'the Germans. In the matter of spirit
and bravery there is little upon which
to differentiate.
. The German Crown Prince told me
himself that the individual French
'soldier had more initiative than the
(German, but that the latter is much
cooler, steadier and has more endu
rance. The latter claim, however, was
disproved at Verdun.
. Von Hindenburg's own words to me
eighteen months ago were that ‘“‘the
lack of a centralized direction and
‘sing)e high command” wius the great
est tveakness of the Allies. The ap
pointment of General Foch should
remedy that.

Hurt in Auto Crash

James McGee, 55, of No. 245 Thur
mond street, lay dangerously injured
in the Grady hospital Sunday after
noon following an automobile acci
dent that happened at 4 o'clock in

A deep gash was torn in his head
and a finger on the left hand so badly
mashed that amputation was neces
sary. Cuts and bruises covered his
body, according to Grady Hospital
physicians who rendered emergency
treatment and who said they belleved
he would recover.
According to McGee, the driver of
the automobile came down Peachtree
gtreet at a high rate of speed and on
the left hand side of the road. Po
lice immediately began a citywide
hunt for him. McGee has been in the
lemploy of the cit” mare than tweptva
