ON SHORT TIME.
l.. F. & c. Authorities Believe Ar. engagement is Only Temnorary.

Officials at Landers Frary & Clark's have found it necessary to shorten their weekly running time for the present to four days a week, nine hours day. The explanation for this is obvious. Many of the supplies used in factory departments are ob- tained from points abroad and ship ing is not dependable. Therefore it is found necessary to conserve the available supplies and return to the full running time when commerce re- opens.
 J. F. Lamb, and A. G. Kimball, off, cers of the concern announced this m morning that they looked with the utmost of optimism upon the situa- tior. It will probably be only for a short time that this "conservation schedule" will be necessary. As soon as shipping reopens to ports in the southern countries, supplies, tin in particular, will be available and full time should be the result. we are sure that this shortening of hours is only to last a brief period' were their words.

WOMAN'S BODY FOUND
 IN DARIEN WOODS
Corpse Discovered in Thicket Not Far From Place Where Man Was
 Murdered Several Years Ago.

ss' Darien, Aug. 1o.-Efforts were be- ing made by the authorities today to establish the identify of the body of a woman found yesterday in an un- frequented section of woods border ing the Noroton road and who, the authorities believe, may have beeD murdered.
 The body was discovered in thick ct not far from the place where a man was murdered several years ago. So reduced was the corpse by decompo- sition as to be little more than a skeleton and Identification, in the opinion of the authorities is improb- able, except possibly through the clothing, which was found some 3V away. This consisted of a tailored suit of blue material, tan shoes and stockings, lingerie of very good qual- ity and a black straw hat with three blue feathers. Near the garments lay a silver mesh bag containing purse in which was eight cents. Two bottles containing a slowly acting poison were also found near by and a wad of paper, which the authorities believe may have been used as gag. The woman was apparently five feet nine inches in height.
 In the opinion of the medical exam iner the body had lain in the thicker for months. The fact that no marks indicating violence were found is not considered an offset to the murder theory as it is pointed out that such marks, if any had existed would have, by this time, been obliterated by the decomposition.

IT ITALIAN SYMPATHY
WITH ALLIED ARMY
People Make Demonstration
of Friendly Feeling Of Bel
gian Ruler.
[BY LEASED WlRE.1

ROME. Sept. 16.-Strong manifesto
tions of sympathy for the allies are be-
ing shown here by followers of the
war group" a clique of political lead
ers, who favor war against Austria
and Germany.
1t Is becoming more and more evil
dent that the government would flood
itself with unpopularity should 1t at
tempt to give any aid to Germany and
Austria. There also seems to be a
lessening of the hostile sentiment
against war on the part of the social
lists. A friendly demonstration was
made last night under the windows of
the Belgian Legation. Crowds waved
Belgian flags and cried: Long live
good King Albert"
A manifestation is being planned for
tonight under the windows of the Far
neg Palace, where the French embas-
sy is located.
King Emmanuel is continually urg-
ing his minister to remain calm and to
air every power at their command to
keep the people cool and to prevent
any untoward action which might lead
to an outbreak. If Italy avoids the
shoals of war it will be the result of
the endless efforts of the King.

PRESENT WAR FLAG
or 68TH INFANTRY
TO STATE MUSEUM
Charles Marlatt and NimrOd
Parrot Act as Committee
to Turn Over Banner to
Governor RalstOn.

Charles Marlatt OF this city and MINI
rod PARROT of Centerville, who served
in the Sixty-eighth Indiana infantry
during the Civil War, will go to Indi-
annapolis tomorrow in Mr.. PARROTS
automobile to serve on a committee
which is to present to Governor Raj
ston, acting for the state, the original
battle flag of the famous regiment.
One regimental battle flag of this
regiment is now displayed at the state
house under a glass case. 1t Is torn
by shot and shell, but 1t Is not valued
SO highly by the veterans OF the regi-
ment as the flag which is to be pre-
scented to the governor tomorrow,
which is first intheir affections be-
cause 1t was the first flag given to the
Sixty-eighth.
The original flag, believed lost for
a half century, has just been found,
and their is an interesting story in
connection with it's history. This flag
was made by the ladies of Greensburg,
Indiana, Ind, and presented to the
regiment by Mrs. Barry OF that town.
Wraps Flag About Body.
At the battle of Monfordsville, KY,
the Sixty-eighth was surrounded by
the Confederate forces and required to
surrender to General Bragg. The col
onel, E. A. Ming, took the Greensburg
flag and wrapped it about his body.
When the regiment was paroled and
sent home he returned the flag to
Mrs. Barry. Later the regiment was
exchanged for Confederate prisoners,
and 1t returned to the front, but with
another flag, the one now at the state
house.
When the regimental reunion was
held Rushville last month, 1t was
learned that the first flag was In a
vault In the court house in that city.
Then for the first time many of the
veterans learned that the flag at the
state house was not the one presented
the regiment by the ladies of Green's
burg. 1t was decided to return the
old flag to the custody of the state,
and Governor Ralston readily agreed
to accept it. 1t will be taken to In
dianapolis tomorrow by Milton Curry
Of Metamora, the last color sergeant
Of the regiment.
