It has pointed the way along n narrow straight road toward the quaint l'lcanl town transformed l?y the (Ser mans into what they term a modern (J Una Iter. llotweon Albert and Hapaume lie the hattletlelds of the strongest martial struggles of all history. They are enII od the battle of the Somme, hut m^r*; correctly might be termed the battle of the Hapaume road It has heen a long ten miles, hnt at last Hapaume has been taken and the Hilt Ish khaki lino extends well heyond it In all dlreetlons. The Held of grey (icriuau lines are falling Jmek now on a front of ap proximately forty miles They are dis solving lit elouds of hlue gray smoke, for the (iermans have lighted 11 res to screen in their wake. No vllhige Is be ing spared from the toreh. The re treat on the Hrltlsh front now extends from well helow Chaulncs on the south almost to Arras, on the north and cov ers ahont one third of the entire Hrltlsh line. It has even extended down where the French lines begin. Today the Hrltlsh pnslied into 1'er mine, where they had to tight virtual ly every step of the way. There have been many tires in IVroutie burning slnee Friday. The (iermans also had burned the suburb of Ilaile before abandoning it. A seore or more of towns and vil lages have been taken by the Hrit ish during the day and it was report ed tonight that patrols had reached as far as Nesle. southeast of Chaulncs... For a time It seemed as if the tier man retreat would swing from I a* Transloy as the southern pivot, hut already It has gone Tar beyond that. Everywhere along this wide front the Hrltlsh are pressing the fleeing (Ger man rear guard ami Hapaume wit nessed lively street lighting. The taking of that town meant a great deal to the men In the trenches. One Hrltlsh batalllon due to be reliev ed yesterday from a term of strenous work actually requested that they he sent forward in order that they might see Hapaunio cleared of the enemy. In a war where the fighting is often confined for months to a maze of trenches, a noted town like Hapaume stands out as a great*goal to the sol diers. Under the prophette sign in Albert pointing that direction, hun dreds of thousands of Hritish soldiers have trudged since last .July, many never to return. The Hapaume high way reaching out over the rolling Melds of 1'icnrdy. has indeed been the high road to "the great adventure." Out on this road ambled the Hrltlsh "tanks" on their startling way to bat tling renown. It is this road that pierces I'ozleres and on either side lie the unforgettable villages of Thiepval.

Koel? Mill Steeord. Couiis iiikI Juries. Mr. J. Iln.v Cunningham, In a very Kll'dllt; letter 11? lite Lancaster News severely arraigns juducs for continu ing cases upon Insufficient grounds and. Incldentallv lie takes u fling at' tin* lawyers. After the grand Jury lias acted Upon u hill Mr. Cunningham states that tin? lawyers take charge and "upon some trivial excuse, such as one of tin* attorneys being nick or some witness having a doctor'* certificate say in g that lie is iinahlc to attend court, iioiio of which are worth the time it takes to tell, as a general thing ordinarily being mere subterfuge to have the cases continutd. In the past these cases have been continued and hy the very same judges who so scath ingly denounced the Juries for failing to do their duty." Mr. Cunningham goes on to state that "it sometimes hap-1 pens that the greater part of the mur-1 dor cases tire tied up and continued: hy reason of the Illness of ??ne attorney, who is a prominent practitioner, and that justice is denied because justice delayed l& justice denied." There is a great ileal of force j\?>d merit in what Mr. Cunningham says. A solicitor (not the solicitor of the Sixth circuit i fnndc the statement to us something over a year ago that in a certain county in this state judges had continued cases term after term on the statement of one of the members of a law firm that he was too ill to proceed with the trial of his cases. The attorney has' been paralyzed and had been advised by his physirlan that he could mver safely practice law again, and notwithstanding this fact he asked for the continuance of his cases, and the continuance was granted; that he hlmseli was embarrassed for the reason that he did not like to be guilty of a seeming discourtesy to an attorney who plead physical iiillrnlity, and yet the cases were continued term after term and witnesses attended coort un til the cases were so old that It was practically impossible to brim; them to a hearing. This may be* ail extreme case, bill the mere statement of it shows the abuse of judges continuing eases for j improper reasons. A motion for the ? '-outinuance of a ease, criminal or civil. | Is almost wholly in the discretion of the trial judge. The supreme court has held that the illness of. counsel, when < th"r counsel -arc engaged in the cause, is not of itself ;i siitliciciit rea son, under all circumstances, to warrant the continuance ui a ease. TJi?? absence of a material witness, unless counsel lias exercised due diligence to obtain his presence, is not sufficient ground Our supreme court has used tills lan guage (State vs. I'.ox i : "One of the strongest criticisms of the administra tion of the law relates to the many delays In the trial of cases. Parties in tin- criminal and ci il courts should he ready to try their cases; yet if parties cannot go to trial safely in either court in the absence of their witnesses, where they have used due diligence to procure their attendance the law vests the circuit judge with the power of continuance, and no amount of public clamor shold move the circuit judge from the discharge of this delicate responsibility ... It will thus apj>ear that the law. while Inflex ible in its determination to prosecute those who violate our laws, is fixed ' in its determination that person?*, nc- j ciised of crime shall have every means to vindicate their innocence. Hut all these blessed safeguard's entail a cor responding duty upon iwrsons accused of crime; they should prepare theui- i selves for a speedy trial: they should | promptly employ counsel; they should promptly apply for all their witnesses to be arrested and hound over to np- j pear and testify; no slipshod methods j should be countenanced." Hut notwithstanding the rule thus laid down by tlm lute Odcf Justice 1?o|h\ Judges, through rmirlesy to law yers, |>erm it cusc* to lie continued when tliuy ought not to do ?().. When a hom icide Is committed the community feels a Hotter of ludUmutluu; the i.Iimi?I man Is hurled; there Is temporary sympathy for the grief and los* to his family, and In a short time this gives way to a natural or mauufaeturtif sentiment 1^ fax or of the aocnscd. After the ?Us*' In continued for one or two terms tin* recollect Ion of witnesses become faulty, skillful counsel on cross exam I nation often elicit contradictory state ments, and for one re.'non or another defendants are acquitted. Juries are* often justly ami sometimes unjustl> ?illIclsed, and no more is thought of the frequency of homicides until the next man Is killed. The truth Is the fault for the crime of hlnodgulltlues-, in our land may l>c laid ecjuall.v at Un hands of judges for allowing slipshod methods In iJ>?> trial of honilclde cases. ! ?t the hand* of luwyfrn whoiio neal 1 for their client leads them Into uriopt iuk methods at the trial of tbvse cane* not sanctioned l?.v the rulex of law, at the hands of Jurors who have been I drawn to sit In thejnry hox, who have l^ot a l)rO)|*vr conception of the Mglt qua I (Mentions w iVleh a Juror ougttt IS ! have, and who arc often Influenced l>.v appeals to their prejudices and pas ' slons.

It means that If the parly assaults I had died Ills assailant would have hecu guilty of murder, and yet we have frequently known Judges to Impose a fine of or $1<H> In sueh eases.
