Graveur of New York, seriously wounded his female cotnpanion and then committed suicide in an apartment hotel here early today, has been identified aa Mrs. Harry Belzer, of 315 Euclid avenue, New York, by a sister of the dead man. This sister, whose r.ame is Mrs. Frances Apman, came here today with Harry V. Fancy, of New York, a buliness partner of Graveur, and made the identification at the morgue.

Mrs. Apman told the police Mrs. Belzer's maiden name was Margaret McAndrews and that the woman had r.ot been living with fier husband recently. Graveur, she also told the police, was a widower and had been very iriendly with Mrs. Belzer. From cards found'.in Mrs. Belzer's handbag the police at first believed she was Mrs. J. C. Ledur or LeDuc.

The woman in the hospital, at first Supposed to be Graveur's wife, has not jtnade any statement. Mrs. Apman will j'vgo to the hospital later in ,the day to see if she can identify her. 'Graveur and his companion motored to this city yesterday from New York.

They attended a theatre last night and returned to their hotel half an hour after midnight. They were unaccompanied, according to hotel employes, and went immediately to 'their apartrryents. Shortly afterwards guests on the saine floor were startled by four ^hots? and rushing Into the hallway Sh^y met the woman, who is about 23 3'ears old, staggering from her room with a bullet wound in her breast. She wvas screaming hysterically, and it was impossible to secure a coherent -story from her. Graveur was 'found dead in one corner of his room and Mrs. Belzer, clutching the still smoking revolver in jh6r hp.nd, in another. All were fully dtessed.

moved on side by side to further attacks. One of the most striking features of the fighting was thS surprisingly slight resistance offered at Morval and Combles by the Germans, according* to all reports made .by the British officers. The Germans made the usual counterattacks against the British new positions last night but the reports of the allied officers to headquarters agree that they lacked spirit. Some German trenches taken yesterday^ were lightly occupied or not at all. In other instances, the allied coitomanders stated, that considerable, bodies of Germans threw down their rifles promptly as soon as the attackers approached their trenches, although it was known that they had orders to stand to the last. Batches of prisoners have been coming in from q.11 parts of the front -throughout the^ay.

Both today and yesterday the, Germans showed an inclination to withdraw their guns immediately they were in danger, evidently desiring' to take no risk of losing any of their artillery. 'This -some times leaves their troops in the front, line unprotected by cannon fire and may account for the number of surrenders.

Casualties Light.

Since the offensive began the British have taken 19 villages and at some points their, gains are now six miles in depth. Elation over today's and yesterday's work is greatest at the casualty clearing stations where the real cost of victory is best measured. All surgeons report that the casualties have been surprisingly light. The weakening German resistance, which •seems obvious to any spectator, Is variously interpreted by thef allied officers. Some believe the Germans are making a rear guard defense of the lower ground while their main forces fall back to anothers prepared line of trenches stretching from Bapaume others insist that the unceasing hammer blows of the British and French are resulting in a decided softening in the morale and fighting power of their opponents.- The soldiers in the ranks do not seem to be bothered with such speculations. "Give u$ more weather like this and let us push on," is the-prayer alike of the English Tommy fend the French

HEARD ABOUT TOWW.

Bill Ahrens, attache of the naval recruiting department, in the postofflce, has received word regarding the, health of his namesake, "Bill"—his goat. Bill Is division mascot on the Denver. Ahrens bought him for $2, at Mazatlan, on the west coast of Mexico, when the Denver was stationed there. "Bill's chief diversion is licking the paint off the sailors' chests to get the salt.

Ahren's shipmate oh the Denver, now at San Francisco, writes: "Bill Is in perfect health and keeps the paint work on my chest In fine shape. He has taken quite a list to port, due to the fact that he has lost one horn. He was eating a piece of emery cloth in my chest, when the lid fell shut and caught his head and cut off his horn." "P. S.—The morals of the ship have improved thirty-nine per cent since you left."

Another side of the preparedness question was raised a few days ago by a colored man who returned a revolver to Sam Sterohi and asked him to give him his money back on the weapon. The man had purchased the gun the evening before, and when Sterchi asked him what was wrong "with it and why he wanted to return it, the customer summed the while situation up in a few words: "Well, sah, it is just this way. That yalla nigger did give me no openin' at all."
