London, Aug. IA, 800 A. M.-The
Daily Citizen, organ of the Labor
party, says it has learned from re-
liable authority that DIR. Karl Lieb-
knecht, the German Socialist leader,
has been shot for refusing military
service.
The Daily Citizen says that the story
was brought to London by a German
refugee, who reported that Berlin,
owing to the shortage of food, was in
a virtual state of revolution.
DR.. Liebknecht was an officer of the
reserves and was called up for service.
He refused to respond on conscientious
grounds, whereupon, according to the
story. a detachment of soldiers was
sent to his residence. He was taken
to the military barracks and court
martialed. After a short trial he was
convicted and shot by a platoon of
infantrymen.
1t is also reported that Rosa Luxem-
burg, the noted Socialist writer. who
declared soldiers were maltreated in
the army. has been shot.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht was born in
1871 and since his entry into politics
as a Social Democrat had been one
of the foremost leaders of the party.
He was an uncompromlsing anti
militarist
1t was Liebknecht who last year in

Thought to Have Eaten Ar

Whether arsenic on a piece of cake
eaten yesterday for lunch by Bruce

Bailets ate his lunch at the Star

tasted so bitter that he took only a
few bites and then threw it away.
Two hours later he was suddenly
seized with cramps and was compelled
TO go home for the day. About 5.15
o'clock yesterday afternoon DR.. S. A.
kirkpatrick was summoned, but the
doctor decided the young man had
better be taken to the Harrisburg
Hospital, he having noticed symptoms
of arsenical poisoning.
On telling his story of the cakes
tasting bitter, the doctors suspicious
at once led him to believe that Bail
cts might have eaten arsenic. on
being questioned he told the doctor
that he had noticed green spots on
the cake but that he had thought
little of 1t at the time. Bailets'
mother on being questioned, said she
had baked the cake; that other mem

that none had fallen i'll as a result.
and that there were no green spots
on the cake when she put it in her

poison was not put on the cake by
any person working at that place.
They also said that If any one desires
an investigation it will be made imme-
diately.

THE amount of suffering on both
sides owing to an inability to deal
promptly with the wounded was very
great but especially to the Germans
whose casualties were from five to
ten times as numerous as those among
the BeIgians.
The Germans paid terrible pen
