Washington, D. c., March 2.-The

The indications are that the New

single conservation measure ever
proposed in Congress. 1t will make
the annual spring floods in the Ohio

1t provides total appropriation of

which cannot remain unanswered.
Hence the stories of the movements OF
German veterans from the western
war area to the Eastern Prussian from
tier are generally considered credible.
The latest Russian success the cap
ture Of the fortress of Nicolaieff, about
rs miles southwest of Lemberg, is al
most as great feat as the taking OF
Lemberg ITSELF The place Is not only
strongly fortified, but was thought to
be virtually unassailable owing to the
fact that it was surrounded by marshes
extending for rs miles.
One of the most significant features
Of the Austrian misfortunes Is the
growing uneasiness in Roumania and
other Balkan states. Montenegro and
Servia already are engaged against
Austria and have taken the offensive.
Roumania also is hungry for territory
and is said to be ready at any moment
to throw her 100000 veteran troops
against Austria.
Another brilliant success along the
border by the troops of Emperor Mich
olas is almost certain to unite the Slav
states of southeastern Europe to her
cause.
Russia evidently has again begun her
advance along the East Prussian from
tier, the Russian vanguard being re-
ported today sixty miles beyond
Koenigsburg.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9.-Practic.
ally all the principal railroads in the
east today completed filing with the
interstate commerce their new tariffs
proposing increases in the price Of
mileage tickets. The roads some time
ago began giving notice Of the new
rates to take effect October first. The
increases approximate twelve and one
half per cent. The roads include the
New York Central, Reading, Jersey

Many of the lines purpose to in
crease the price Of thousand mile local
books from $40 to $3.50. The S. re-
fund on interchangeable books which
sold for $25 would be reduced to $3.50.
No protests have been filed against
the proposed raise and the commission

MURDER MYSTERY

CHICAGO AUTHORITIES At Los.
TO EXPLAIN DEATH OF
WEALTHY DENTIST.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Police have un
covered no clue to the slayer of DR..
B. ]. Roberts, wealthy dentist who
was found mysteriously wounded and
dying yesterday in vacant building
near his residence. Physicians after
examining the body which bore evil
dence of desperate assault said they
believed death resulted from blow
on the head.
The police, however, were puzzled
by the finding beside the body Of bot
tie, which had contained poison, and
gas pouring from an open jet. The
theory was advanced. that the dentist
had been murdered and that his slayer
left behind evidences calculated to
make the crime appear suicide.
DR.. Roberts, who disappeared ION
Sunday, carried large sum of money
according to his widow. The fact
that the dead mans purse was empty
and his clothing disarranged were
taken as indicating robbery.

Refuse Plea for Armistice.
It was reported unofficially yester.
day that the Germans had asked for all
armistice to bury their dead and care
for their wounded The plea was re-
fused by the allies, who responded they
would give the Germans twenty-four
hours to leave France.
This would indicate that the tactics
of the defending army have been
changed and that from now on the
allies will press the fighting instead of
seeking delays.
Two causes are thought to have
brought about this change. One Is that
the allies have had chance to bring
their reinforcements from England and
elsewhere. The other is that the 2,OOO,-
900 Germans in France are exhausted
from their long, continuous fighting
and marching. while the French have
many fresh troops, reservists from the
south.

REFUSED PERMISSION TO LEAVE

AWAY ON SHIP.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Enrico Palmetto.
the tenor. stood on the wharf at Kiel
and wondered when he would ever be
back on Michigan boulevard again.
Chicago looked mighty good to him
just then.
He had just arrived at the German
the interior of the warning empire. He
desired to sail from Kiel. He had COM
mun1cated his desire to the German Of
t1cials there. They were polite but
firm. They desired that he remain in
their midst for the while. Whereupon
Palmetto was considerably cast down.
Ships As Stowaway.
On the wharf he saw some Danish
sailors rolling empty barrels aboard a
freighter. That gave him an idea.
Without waiting to make ready his lug
gage or anything else he slyly disposed
himself In one of the barrels and drew
the head on after him. Palmetto Is
accustomed to riding in "uppers" in
American Pullmans, he says. and SO he
soon was asleep.
The boat gave starboard lurch
which awakened him. He made his
way out of the barrel, CROPPED about
in the pitch dark, smelly hold of the
steamer, and finally made his way on
deck. There the stowaway sought out
the captain and explained his presence.
He was permitted to leave the ship at
Copenhagen from whence he obtained
passage on q Scandinavian-Americ
liner. He arrived in Chicago yester-
day.
The singer tells of having been ar
rested and held in Jail in the German
town of Osnackeruck for three days.
He saw Russian shot dead in the
railroad train on the way to the from.
tier when he refused to halt at the
command Of German officers.

READY FOR THE CRISIS.
The International Sunday School Les
son for September 10 is "The Ten
Virains."-Matt. 25:1-13.
BY William T. Ellis.


Amid the crash of empires we are
called upon to consider one Of the most
dramatic Of the farewell admonitions
Of Jesus. The pertinency of the present
parable is in the mind of every member
Of the Sunday school that uses the In
ternational lessons. Sobered, chastened,
to study the deeper truths of life; and
to lend an attentive ear to hear what
the master Of us all has to say con-
corning ultimate things.
The closing utterances of Jesus had
to do with the kingdom of heaven
that kingdom which has outlasted all
empires and still moves forward in its
beneficient way through all the shocks
to human institutions. Here we face a
subject that is vaster than this over
whelming war, that is today engrossing
the worlds thought.
The Sufficient Preparation.
When we are ready for God, we are
ready for anything That is the inclus
i've truth of the great parable of. the
Wise and Foolish Virgins.
Every crisis teaches the supremacy
Of things spiritual. When the storm of
unexampled war broke over Europe, it
drove the nations to their knees. Even
irreligious France turned to prayer.
Kings and councils called upon their
people to supplicate before the throne
Of heaven. Inevitably the war has set
people to thinking of the God who was
before all, and is over all, and will be
after all. There Is no other disaster
equal to the disfavor Of the infinite.
Tho Ten Maidens.
Because the greatest truths may be
mirrored in the humblest happenings,
Jesus set forth his wonderful teaching
Of the last days in the familiar story of
an oriental wedding, and Of the ten
maidens who were to help give joyous
welcome to the wedding party. OF
these ten, five were wise and five were
foolish; for only five had laid by any
store of the oil need to make the we'd
ding illumination The parable is one
Of preparation There is no need to
point out any analogy to present world
events: every one must do that for
himself.
The story touches upon our prerara-
for death; it Is truth for every day,
as well as for the last great day; it
serves to make character for youth. as
well as to afford consolation for age; q
"To Late, Too Late"
Somewhere l have read Of a painting
that merely showed a shut door, that
was all; but the artist conveyed to the
imagination the impression that that
door stood TO: separation and finality.
History is full of tragic regrets Of
those who. have arrived too late at their
opportunity. We see even such an en-
pire builder as Cecil Rhodes crying on
his death-bed. $50 much to do; SO lit
tie done!"
In the affairs Of business; in matters
of pleasure: in the vaster concerns of
the spiritual realm, there surely ap-
proaches an hour when invitation and
opportunity rejected exists no more;

the grace Of God IS no longer heard
knocking at the hearts door.
Preparation is always individual One
cannot lay by any store for many. The
mother cannot go to school for the
child the father cannot exercise pru-
dence and industry and faithfulness for
his son; all spiritual experiences are
one by one. each for himself. The great
transactions Of the soul are enacted In
the vast loneliness Of the apartness OF
one soul with it's maker. quite as If nc
others had ever shared the same ex'
perience in the past.
Nations cannot prepare for war while
the enemy Is fammcring at their gates;
neither may people make ready for
peace and self government over night.

ILLINOIS VOTERS
At Bis PRIMARY
MANY SPECTACULAR CONTESTS
ON IN THE VARIOUS PARTIES
-CANNoN IN FIGHT.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Illinois voters
with party affiliations today are to
nominate candidates for the fall cleo
ton when for the first time Illinois Is
| to elect a United States senator by
direct vote of the people. The list OF
candidates besides United States sena-
toral nominations, includes congress
men at large, district congressman,
state treasurer, superintendent of pub
ilic instruction, clerk of the supreme
court and various county and munich
lpal officers falling more than 4,4OO.
The greatest interest centers IN the
nomination of party candidates for the
United States senate. In the demo
cratic party there are five candidates
for senatorial honors Roger G. Suli-
van, Lawrence B. Stringer, congress
man at large; Harry Woods, secretary
of state; Barrett O'Hara, lieutenant
governor, and James TraynOr.
On the republican ballot Lawrence
Y. Sherman, United States senator,
has three opponents, William E. Ma
son, former United States senator;
Frank H. Childs and Myer Stein.
There is no fight in the progressive
party, Raymond Robins being without
opposition. Adolph Germer Is like
wise unopposed for the socialist nom
| nation.
In the list of nominations for state
| offices there are few names which are
widely known.
Notable contests are being waged IN
some of the congressional districts
much attention being directed to the
eighteenth district, in which Joseph G.
Cannon of Danville, former speaker OF
the house Of representatives, Is op-
posed by Elmer B. Cooley, also OF
Danville, for the republican nomina-
ton.
| Women have little share In the pri-
mary, limited franchise granted to
them by the last legislature extending
to few of the offices included IN the
| primary, but suffrage leaders have
urged that women visit the polls. The
polls close at p. M, but because of
the multitude of candidates 1t Is ex-
pected that announcement of results
will be delayed Each district and
county varies in the number of candi-
dates but Cook county, including Chi
cago, leads in number having more
than 1900 names on the ballots.
