Experience Unusual Difficuliles la Efforts to Build Bridges Across Vesle River.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE. Tuesday, Aug. 6.—(By the Associated Press.)-—The Germans appear to be determined not to permit American engineers to throw bridges across the Vesle, and as a result several American officers have had thrilling experiences. The bridge builders had been eager to proceed with their work, despite the German firs, and their officers have had to hold them back.*

Lieut. E. F. Mail, of California, on Tuesday was under cover with sixty men on the south bank awaiting a lull in the German shelling in order to build a bridg%. It was intended to build a foot bridge on the foundations of a bridge destroyed by the Germans, and then to put up a larger structure. Rather than expose his men, Lieut. Mail, carrying two planks, started out on an exploration trip by himself.

The lieutenant reached the southern pier just as the German machine gunners commenced a heavy fire. This did not stop him. He tossed one plank in temporary position, and then put the other in place from the south pier to the pier in the middle of the river. The enemy fire becoming warmer, Lieut Mail Jumped into the river and took cover on the north bank. Afterwards he recrossed to the south bank anjf rejoined his command amid cheers from the soldiers.

At another point farther west of Fismes, Major Francis H. Newcomber and Captain James P. Growden, during daylight, felled a tress across the Vesle and crossed to the northern bank. There they chopped down, another tree, which fell toward the southern bank.

Soon afterwards they had completed a footbridge with the tree trunks as stringers. Xewcomber and Growden had gone ahead of the bridge building gang to the position, and when the gang arrived they found the work well started. The enemy discovered the footbridge soon afterward, and since has subjected it to a lively fire.

also that the defendant could not be bound by the act of any other man and that he had had nothing to do with making the records in question. Special Judge Clarence &L Royse sustained the objection.

The state then rested its case about 4 o'clock. Attorney Whitlock opened the case for the defendant. He reminded the Jury that in order to convict the defendant they must be sure that his guilt had been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. He said it would be shown that the defendant was a glass blower and had been working steadily at his occupation. That he had accumulated a little money and had purchased a cigar store and turned the store over to his son to run. He said the defendant had no more to do with running the store than the members of the jury did and was not in any way responsible for what happened there.

Clash In Court.

The first witness called by the state was William F. Mendenhall, who has been cashier of the Fourth Baltimore Glass company for about eighteen years. He testified that Charles DePeugh had b«*n continuously in the service of the company during that time. He said the defendant was a steady workman but that he was not qualified to make a statement as to the general reputation of the man.

This statement surprised Attorney Whitlock. who informed the court, amid a*storm of protests, that the witness had told him that he was acquainted with DePeucrh's reputation and that it was good. Attorney o'Mara still protesting, Whitlock asked the witness if he belonged to the Rotary club. Mendenhall answered no and Whitlock said "Well, i. W. Richardson, your boss, does." Objections were made to this by the state and sustained by the court.

J. B. Nosier, a Twelve Points merchant, was put on the stand and said that the general reputation of Charles DePeugh. for honesty and morality, was good. He .said that he thought that "a man could conduct a gambling house and still be honest." In regard to the question of morality Mr. Nosier showed that lie favored strict law enforcement. Attorney John O. Piety asked him: "If you heard that boys, high school boys, and Rose Poly students, were playing rhum in the DePeugh smoke house for checks, that they were playing freeze-out for checks, that they were piaying a slot machine for money, what woul4 you think of the morality of the defendant?" 3Xr. hosier acaweced "1 would.

think that the city should enforce the ordinances and keep boys out of a Dlace like that."

The defendant, Charles DePeugh, was then put on the witness stand. Mr. DePeugh said he was 45 years old, married, and had two Bons, one of them, Theodore, being in the U. S. army. He said he lived upstairs at 2073 North Thirteenth street and that there was a pool roam down stairs.

Court Reporter Dismayed. Attorney Whitlock then asked his witness a question and Mr. O'Mara objected to it. While the attorney was still objecting, to it the witness answered the question and Whitlock asked another. O'Mara made his objection in a louder voice and DePeugh turned on him and told him that he (DePeugh) could hear and that he (O'Mara) did pot have to yell at him. At this time Whitlock, O'Mara and DePeugh were all talking at once and even such an experienced court stenographer as Miss Carrie B. Hyde gave up in despair. She said neither Mr. Gregg, nor Mr. Pittman ever anticipated such a verbai typhoon.

At this point Special Judge Royse took a hand and ordered Mr. Whitlock to istop his argument. Mr. Whitlock did not stop and Judge Royse threatened to send him to jail if he did not take his seat. Whitlock sat down but asked the court stenographer to take a record of the statement t-f the judge and then he took an exception to the statement. Mr. Whitlock asked that the jury be instructed not. to consider the statement of the judge. This was overruled. Attorney JVhi'l^ck then moved that the case be taken from the present jury panel and the Jury dismissed. This also was overruled.

All of the attorneys connected with the case were warned to refrain from making personal remarks to each other, and told to make their objections to the court, and to wait for a ruling from the court on one objection, before asking another question.

Court then adjourned for the day.

LULU ONLY TEMPORARY.

Resumption Of Fighting en Vesle Front May Occur In Few Hours. ALLIES ARMY HEADQUARTERS ON THE VESLE, "Aug. 7—Artillery duels and patrol actions continue along the Vesle front while the allies and Germans make ready for future operations. Indications point to a resumption of fighting on this line within a few hours.

Where the German crown prince will attempt a definite stand between the Vesle and the Aisne is not yet clear, but it seems apparent he Is preparing for further efforts to check the allied advance. His medium calibre guns are bombarding the allied positions of the Vesle intensely, and he hap been making strong efforts to dislodge the French and American troops holding bridge heads on the north bank. All his attempts, however, have met with failure. •,

Bad Weather Hinder,.

It was to be expected that several days would elapse before the allies could be in shape to renew their offensive across the Vesle. Bad weather has hampered the movement of guns and reinforcements as well as aerial scout work. Rain is reported to have fallen again on the battle front Tuesday afternoon.

When Infantry does reopen In force, It probably will mark a new base in the year's campaign. The Marne pocket has been cleared of the enemy and the crown prince defeated. Premier Clemenceau announces that the German losses included 35,000 prisoners and 700 guns.

Interesting reports are received from Paris concerning the future plans of the German high command. Some observers there assert that th® Germans will strike the British front simultaneously with an attack by the German fleet on the British fleet.

Foe May Shorten Line*. Another report is that the Germans will shorten their lines on the western front for the special purpose of gaining more man power, from lack of which they are reported to he suflterlng seriously.

Intense bitterness has marKed what little fighting there has been between Soissons and Rheims. The American forces in Fismes and north of the river have been subjected to heavy bombardments from cannon and machine guns, but have held on. West of Fismes Tuesday a German battalion prepared to attack American bridge guilders along the Vesle. The entire force was
