What War MOUes Mean
By ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-General'
Won Hindenberg undoubtedly is eX-
reriencing much difficulty in rear
ranging his battle line. His road to
Warsaw IS blocked along the north
ern and southern railway lines, and
his fianks are threatened by superior
numbers. Nevertheless. the Petro-
grad belief that the Germans are
again retreating to their own frontier
is without any substantial evidence
There are indications that rc-en-
forcements are being hurried to Won
Hindenberg. and until these arrive
1t is probable the Germans will not
renew their drive. At present they
are on the defensive waiting their
turn to strike.
The conditions confronting Won
Hindenberg are go unfavorable for
success, theoretically, that il seems
rs II 1t were a useless waste of hui
man life to undertake the capture
Of Warsaw
The basic object of the Germans,
however, is not Warsaw. In reality
Won Hindenberg is not actuated by
motives of offensive strategy at all,
but by defensive considerations His
dominating purpose Is to prevent
the Slavs invading eastern Germany.
4 would be impossible for the Ger
mans permanently to occupy War
saw, because the Russians too great
ly outnumber them. Indeed, the
Germans probably would not quarter
large force in Warsaw. even if
they captured it, for fear it would
become a second Sedan. Neverthe-
less. Warsaw serves as a sort of
target. providing something definite
at which the Germans can aim.
In reality, however, Won Hinden-
berg's Primary object is not to oc-
cupy Poland's capital. but to keep
the Russian armies moving back and
forth as far from the German from
tier as he can. The Germans be
lieve that, despite the enormous
numbers OF Slavs available for mill
tary service. exhaustion will more
quickly overtake the Russian army

AGENTS SW|NOLE
YOUNG TEACHERS
School Marrns in County Are
Made Easy Victims OF
Book Sellers.

School marms were made the easy
game of book agents during last week
and several were induced to sign con-
tracts to purchase $40 sets of books
which were represented as having
been recommended by County Super
intendent Williams.
Young teachers were selected by
the agents and were told that Mr.. Will
liams advised and urged the purchase
of the reference books. The books
were said to be the product of an In
diana research society, but in the con-
tract which the teachers signed it was
found that the authors are unknown
Mr.. Williams requested the town
ship trustees to warn all teachers
against taking any books said to have
been recommended by him as he rec
OmmendS no books.
In Boston township one teacher was
told that another had agreed to pay
half on set if the first would sign
the contract. She signed for the $40
set and shortly after, found that the
other teacher had not been seen by
the agents and knew nothing of the
books.

thentic and accurate by the president

any fears about the outcome of the
fight.

feeling among house members and the

Gen. Villa is believed to be fighting

Latest reports from the field state

ColOred Man Exonerated
Wife From Blame in Scuf-
file Over Revolver Causing
His Death.
Keller HEARS STORY
Dying Man Sends Farewell
Message to the Police Of
ficials AS the Final Hour
Grows Near.

A death-bed statement. asserting the
innocence of his wife of any intention
of shooting him. was made by Walker
Leavell, colored, shortly before his
death early today at Reid Memorial
hospital. The statement made to
Prosecuting Attorney Keller. Chief Of
Police Goodwin and Patrolman Wen
ger. who were making an inquiry into
the cause of the gunshot wound which
Mrs. Leavell inflicted.
Tell Mac ana Scott goodbye. and
tell them to pray for me-" was the last
thing Leavell said to Driver Wenger,
referring to Desk Sergeants McNally
and Winters.
Leavell was shot through the head
by his wife in a scuffle between the
two, which both said was friendly and
without malice. The scuffle took place
at Leavell's home on the b. W. oneI-
fer farm. near Elkhorn. where Leayeil
was tenant. The shooting happened
on Friday, March 13.
The prosecuting attorney talked
with Leavell about the accident short
ly after the injured man had been
taken TO the hospital, and Leavell then
told him his wife did not intend 10
shoot him. He said he tried to take
revolver which his wife held, and in
pulling his arm toward him. caused
her inadvertently to pull the trigger.
The bullet was located after Leavell
had died, when a post mortem exam
ination revealed it. The direct cause
of the death was u hemorrhage which
started yesterday and continued for
twenty-four hours.
The prosecuting attorney was called
when ii was seen that Leavell could
live only few hours He was almost
too weak to speak. but denied that his
wife was guilty of maliciously causing
his death, and even took the blame
for the discharge of the revolver on
himself.
When Leavell seized his wife's arm.
according to their story. the revolver
was pointed directly toward him. The
bullet entered his head through the
upper lip and pierced the roof of his
mouth, lodging just behind u. He
rested easily until yesterday when the
hemorrhage started.
