Springfield, H., Oct. 13.-Secretary
of State Harry Woods, n OF the dem
ocratic senatorial candidates at the
September primaries and former OPP
orator on the Chicago BOARD of trade,
killed himself early yesterday morning.
His ~lifeless body, with a gaping bull
let wound in the center Of the fore
head. n a revolver clutched in his
right hand. was discovered this morn
ing lying in the too room in a garage
in the rear of his residence.
Mrs. Wood had become alarmed at
her husbands absence from home sine
6 o'clock Sunday morning. Going to
the garage she found her husbands
garage locked on the inside. A neigh
Dor was called, the door forced and
in a orner of the tool room the body
of the secretary of state was found.
No note of explanation was left by
Mr.. Woods and the only clue which
would give a possible indication for
a cause of the tragic deed was a bulky
bundle of papers, showing extensive
dealings in grain through a Chicago
brokerage firm. There was evidence
that the secretary carefully planned
the deed. He had taken off his hat
and laid it on a bench, but did not re-
move his glasses. An iron bed had
been placed against the door leading
to the room and all the doors were
locked.

Paris, Oct. 13.-The progress of the
campaign in the north OF France and
the fall of Antwerp were forgotten for
who spent their time discussing the
throwing yesterday of bombs on the
capital from German aeroplanes as a
result of which three persons were
killed yesterday and IA wounded. At
the same time officials adopted meas
ures looking to the prevention of sim
liar acts.
General Hirschauer was appointed
to take charge of the aerial defense Of
the city.
He organized last year the aerial
branch of the army service. A number
of deputies met at the call of Deputy
Denis Cochin to consider various
means of rendering the city more Sc
cure from aeroplane attacks.
The creation of aerial squadrons
stationed at cardinal points to be al
ways ready to dash after the air craft
of the enemy as soon as they should
be signalled approaching the city;
that the arming of fast a~eroplanes with
quick firing guns and the t%elephoninS
Of warnings by residents Of the capital
to the French Aero club, which is o
under military control, were among
the suggestions discussed.

bombs yesterday almost struck the

lost 1000 prisoners.
In South Poland the advance guards
of our armies have reached the Vistula.
Near Grojec, south of Warsaw, we cap
t1red 1000 men of the Second Siberian
army corps.

about the Russian victory at Augusta
Wo and Suwalli CRussian Poland) are
Invented. The fact that no official com
munication has been published about
the tremendous defeats at T~anneberg
and Insterberg Cloth in East Prussia),
vouches a lack of reliable official in
formation"
"The complete collapse of the Anglo
Belgian defense Of Antwerp was shown
by the fact that no military authority
could be found with which to treat
concerning the surrender of the city.
This surrender was finally negotiated
with the burgomaster.
"It is impossible to give as yet the
number Of prisoners taken with Ant
werp. Many of the defenders who flee
to Holland were interned.
General Won Beseler, who has been
decorated with the Order of Merit fol
his capture Of Antwerp, a issued a
proclamation addressed to the people
aying no one would be harmed unless
thew committed hostilities on the Ger
mans. The following information has
been given out in Berlin for publica-
ton:
Reports received here from Vienna
set forth that the Russian siege OF

ALSACIAN SYMPATHIES
ARE WITH GERMANY
Forty-four Years Under Kais-
er's Rule Has Made Ma
ton Loyal, Claim.

The Hague, Sept. so. (by mail).-
While German newspapers nave stu
diously ~refrained from remarks con-
corning the attitude OF the Alsacians
toward the hostile camps in the west
ern theater of war, q Swiss who fol-
lowed the operations of the French
and Germans in the Sandgau is quoted
in the Cologne Gazette as saying:
THE French, regularly. during an
hours. maintaining a terrific fire. tao
tics for which the Alsacians have come
to dislike them extremely. 1t is re-
markable, moreover. how German the
Alsacians have become of a sudden.
What Al years failed to accomplish in
this respect, a few hours Of the Eu-
ropean war have done.
The Alsacian serving in the Ger
mar army is doing his duty. With
the spilling of blood cane a fraternal
feeling, best expressed, perhaps, in the
saying: Our troops fought at such
and such a place; lost or won at this
or that point Our troops, Of course,
are the Germans. because the Alsa-
clans and Lorrainers have fought
where the fighting was hottest, and
now they are proud of the sacrifice In
blood and life they have made.
Something must be said for the
German volunteers. They fight well. A
few thousand of them arrived just in
time to participate in the ear guard
action fought by the Germans after the
battle of ham,. Fresh French troops
had been sent to make the best of the
German retreat. But the volunteers
were brave. and the French had to go
back. What these young troops lac
in training is discounted by their eag-
erness to fight, and which seems to
increase as the battle gets more des-
perate. There is much enthusiasm in
the volunteers"

FOUR KILLED.; SCORE HURT
BY BOMBS DROPPED ON PARIS

Paris, Oct. IA score of bombs,
launched On different quarters Of Paris
by the German aviators Sunday killed
four civilians and injured 90 others. II
of whom were women and girls. The
damage done to property was small,
A pennant which was dropped at the
same time as the bombs bore the in
scription in German:
nave taken Antwerp; YOU TURF
will Don come"
The airmen appeared soon after
noon. One began the attack by drop
ping a bomb near the northern rail
way terminal, the other in Rue st.
LaZare and a third which landed at the
real of the cathedral of Notre Dame.
Three more bombs were dropped by the
same airmen in the vicinity of the
BouTse.
A house was set on fire. but the loss
was not great. One Of these missiles
struck within 100 yards of an office &C.
cupied by American newspaper men.
The second aeroplane also flew over
the cathedral, dropping four bombs.
one of which lighted upon the roof of
the church, but failed to explode. A
second fell in the square where the bish-
ops residence is located. A third
struck the parapet of the Quaide Bour-
bon and glanced off into the Seine. The
fourth disappeared in the Seine near
the bridge of Notre Darne
The second taube appeared to aim at
the cathedral, while the other machine
attempted to hit the Northern and st.
Lazarc stations.
Altogether 20 bombs fell. The Ger
mans flew at q very low altitude. Aft
er they apparently had exhausted thei,
supplies of missiles French ~aeroplanes
ascended and pursued them toward the
east.

RUSSIANS HELD At
PRUSSIAN BORDER
Germans Announce Reverses
to First and Tenth Musco-
wife Armies-Petro-
. grad Silent.

London. Oct. 13.-It is officially an
nounced in Berlin that in the eastern
theater of war all attacks of the First
and Tenth Russian armies have been
repulsed, while the same fate was suf-
fered by the Russians when they at
tempted an o~uflanking movement by
way of S~chirwindt east Prussia.
In south Poland, the Germans claim,
their armies have reached h Vistula.
The assertion is also made that the
Russians have invented the stories
which awe been given out regarding
great victories at AugustoWo ana
Suwalki.
Petrogpad remains silent as to the
movements of the Russian armies, but
hints tina secrecy is necessary for the
time being because important opera
tions are pending.
The French official statement today,
however, declared the Germans were
retreating westward from Lyck, de-
stroying bridges as they go. 1t also
was stated that heavy artillery fighting
has occurred between the Russians ana
the Germans along the Vistula in
southern Poland. near Ivangorod.
The claim by Vienna that Austrian
troops have relieved Przemysl and
scattered its Russian investors is the
most striking news from the eastern
theater that is asserted to be offlclal.
There is nothing here to confirm or
deny the claim.
A German report also records a
check to the Russian forces on the
Prussian frontier and the progress of
the German armies in Poland. which
seems destined to be the cockpit largely
determining the events IN this war
arena.
six Russian and five foreign war cor
respondents have been accorded per-
mission to Join The Russian forces at
the front. They have had a joyous
sendoff by Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian commander in chief. but n
have been carefully dispatched to a less
exciting field of observance than that
of Poland. Lemberg, in Gallc1a, is
their destination.
On saying farewell to the correspon-
dents, Grand Duke Nicholas Emphasized
the great utility of the press in ex-
pert and worthy hands," but he quick
iy ~quenched the rising hopes OIL ms
audience by saying:
L regret that I shall not be able to
show YOU all I should like to. for III
this war so specially g~randiose, abso-
lute silence regarding a military Sc
.cret dealing with the plan of campaign
Is a necessity of success

correspondents that they were gong

OPIUM TRAFFIC IN
PANAMA SUPPRESSED
Nation Serves Notice on Mon
opolistic Drug Dealer-Rev-
enue Loss Great.

Panama, Oct. 7. (by maiD.-Pan-
m a agreed to cooperate with the
canal authorities in the suppression Of
opium traffic. Notice has been given
for Low Lam, the Chinaman who has
for years enjoyed q monopolistic on
cession for the sale of opium in Pan
anna, that his contract will be terni-
mated at the end of 80 days time. BY
this action the republic will lose $780,
900 nnual revenue, which was the
price Low Lam paid for his concession.
The abrogation of this contract
sooner or later had been foreseen, since
Panama vas one of the signatories to
the international convention for the
suppression of opium traffic, but Pan
anna would not be bound to observe the
convention until its general ratifica-
ton.
1t is said that a quantity of the
drug is being struggled across the Co
lombian border. The Panama govern
ment has sent a special police force
to that section in an effort to stamp
| out the alleged smuggling.
