WITH THE AID OF SORCERY
Women of Sardinia Thought They
Had a Chance to Recover
Buried Treasure.

An old Sandman woman named
Anna Romano has been arrested at
Sassari charged with obtaining money
under false pretensions.
The Italian penal code has no pro-
vision dealing with magic and conse-
quently when Anna Romano was sur.
prised at midnight by the police sur
torches over hole she had excavated
in the courtyard of a house, despite
the fact that the women was openly
engaged in magical practices, she was
accused of swindling money from the
credulous torch bearers.
The women admitted that they had
given the sorceress money and all OPP
posed her arrest, as they were con-
vinced she was on the point of discov-
ering great treasure. The police do
not believe in treasures, however, and
very likely Anna Romano will be SEN
fenced to long term of Imprisonment.
Strange as it may seem, the exist
ence of the treasure is corrobOrated by
fact. Anna Romano is in possession
of a document written in the sixteenth
century in which it is related that
wealthy woman of Sassari, fearing
French invasion, hid all the money,
jewels and plate she owned in Sc
cluded place.
This woman was subsequently muir
dered and her body was buried in the
courtyard of her house. faithful
servant knew that her mistress wore
around her neck locket containing
the document, with the description Of
the place where the treasure had been
hidden.
When Anna Romano was arrested
she had just discovered the corpse OF
the murdered woman and the locket
with the secret document. The police
found the locket but not the document.

Somehow Good

A lecture by that brilliant crafts
man and poet, William Morris, was
not always season of rare enjoy
ment. Sometimes, according to Nor
ris' recent biographer, Mr.. Compton
Rickett, his lectures were dull, as on
that occasion when he turned to one
Of the ladies in his audience, and
asked her how she had liked the lee
ture.
Not at ALI" was the unexpected
reply. But | thought the color of
your blue shirt charming"
Morris was delighted, for he had
taken great pains to find the right
dye. His love of color, particularly
indigo blue, was as keen as his de-
light in Gothic Art.-Youth's Com
panion.

PRACTICAL REPEAL OF UTILITIES LAW

WASHINGTON WARNS
GERMAN AMERICANS
The State Department Advises
Against Travelling in Ter
ritOry of the Allies.

London. Nov. 16.-As a result of a
long list Of grievances narrated at the
American Embassy to-day by George
Rottweiler, Of Chicago, an American
born citizen, it was learned here that
the State Department had issued a
warning to Americans with German
names against travelling in countries
hostile to Germany. This warning Is
uttered by all United States diplomatic
and consular representatives, to persons
applying for passports 10 visit Eng
land, France or Russia.
Mr.. Rottweiler asserted that he had
been subjected to constant annoyance
and suspicion simply because his name
was German, both by English and
French officials. Among other troubles
he endured was that Of being searched
on his arrival at Folkestone from the
Continent, a regulation which has just
been introduced by the British port
authorities. lie was informed at the
embassy that his protests were un-
availing because the State Department
was powerless 20 take action beyond
the warning already issued.

RUSSIAN WOUNDED
RETURN TO RANKS
Gar Learns That 85 Per
Cent of Men Injured Re-
sumo Fighting.


Petrograd, Nov. 1G.--During fort
nights sojourn with his armies in the
field, tho Car saw and spoke to thou
sands of wounded soldiers. He in
quired about the identity and direction
of a whole column passing the imperial
train, and was told they were officers
and men recovered from their wounds
returning TO their respective regiments.
The Emperor aliRhted and spoke to
them, md asked for details as TO
where and how they were wounded.
All had taken part in early battles Oh
the war and were anxious TO again go
to the firing line as soon as possible.
II was incidentally ascertained that
not fewer than 85 per cent OF those
wounded in the early stages or the
campaign have returned 70 the ranks
From reports Of Russian scouting de-
tachments which have ridden within
few miles Of Cracow, and from other re-
liable sources, it appears that the Ger
mans have taken command of the forts
and defences OF Cracow, and even SUD
stituted German soldiers for Austrlans
garrisoning the stronghold. Ihls step
has caused further discussions be-
tween the Germans and Austrians' the
latter being Telegated TO the defence OF
the Carpathians and not allowed any
voice in directing the campaign. All
indications are believed TO point TO
break between the two armies.

URGES AMERICA TO
DROP NEUTRALITY
Harold Begbie Wants the
United States to Break
Its Silence.
[By wireless via Louisburg. y. 81

London, Nov. 10 Harold Begbie, IN
an article mailed from New York to
"The Daily Chronicle" urges that
America should abandon its official
pose Of neutrality"
What" says Mr.. Begbie, chad been
the answer Of Lafayette, with his
hand on the hilt of his sword, to the
French statesman counselling neu-
trality? What would George Washing
ton have said to the silence of America
in full view daily, hourly-of devas-
tated. blood -drenched Belgium? Would
Abraham Lincoln have preserved
friendly relations with Germany after
the cry of raped children and butchered
women had ascended with the smoke
Of towns and villages to the heavens
Of mems ultimate dreams?
"Italy's neutrality we can dimly un-
derstand, but not Americas. Italy
could only break her neutrality by
taking up arms. America has only to
speak"
Mr.. Begbie pays tribute 70 the Amer
lean press, saying:
"The invaluable work of the Amer
lean newspapers is making headway,
and forever England will remember
that work and be grateful. feel that
! may say without offence that Amer
ica. too. will have cause TO remember
this work Of her journalists with graft
tude. For the day assuredly is coming
when history will reveal this European
conflict in all it's black and murderous
character as war purposely pro
voked and long desired by a military
aristocracy opposed 70 the essential
principles Of liberty, justice and broth
erhOOd.
"When that day comes, will not
America gratefully recollect that. al
though its government had no word
but neutrality and sat throughout the
struggle with hands carefully folded,
the honest newspapers, loving democra-
cy more than the exigencies of poll
tics, made il sufficiently clear to the
nation of freedom that America was
not upon the side of aggression, mill
tarism and despotism of the divine
right? ! dare TO say that the news
papers Of America have saved Amer
lean honor"

losses, to continue to deliver repeated
blows with fresh men when required
and where required, and to concentrate
large forces in different directions.
at is true that a considerable pro-
portion of the masses recently thrown
into the field against the British has
consisted of hastily trained and imma-
ture men, but the great fact remains
that these i'll assor.ed levies have not
hesitated TO advance against highly
trained troops. In spite Of lack of Off .
GERS, in spite of inexperience, boys Of
sixteen and seventeen have faced our
guns, have marched steadily up TO the
muzzles Of our rifles and have met
death in droves without finching.
"Such is the effect of a century Of
national discipline. That the men sub
iected to II are the victims Of an auto
cratic military caste does not alter the
fact. They have accepted that sys-
TEN IS necessary 20 the attainment
of national ideals.
"However discordant are the ele-
ments which make up the German En-
pire, by force of the Prussian war ma
chine they have one and ell been
welded together 10 be able TO fight for
national existence, and by their action
il is evident that for them Deutschland
u5er allies is no empty cry"

Capture of Goldap
a Brilliant Affair

London, Nov. IA Reuter- dispatch
from Petrograd says;
"The skilful soldiery Of the Russian
army was well illustrated in the capt
ure of Goldap. some thirty miles south
of Gumbinnen, in East Prussia. A
strong Russian advance guard. which
pushed toward Goldap after eight days
of continuous fighting at Bakalarzevo,
took the Germans by surprise. The
Russians were within two miles Of
Goldap before a German aeroplane dis
covered their presence and directed the
German artillery fire against them.
"Thc Russian line Of advance lay
between a wooded elevation and the
main road both Of which were occu-
pied by Germans. Four Russian guns
swept the road, and after a quarter
of an hour Cossacks charged, killing
or wounding 200 Germans.
simultaneously Russian dragons
and horse artillery galloped around
the hill on the German flank and rear
TO cut of the German retreat.

RUBBER IMPORTERS
PROTEST TO BRITAIN
State Department Also
Takes Up Embargo on
Australian Wool.

Washington. Nov. l6.-Rubber i'm
porters and manufacturers whose trade
has been seriously affected by the en-
barge placed upon rubber exports by
Great Britain, lodged protest to-day
with the British Embassy.
Embassy officials said the British
government was making every effort
in its power to keep its trade restrlc-
tions from interfering with the inter
ests Of neutral countries. and that tho
question Of permitting the exporta-
tion of rubber 10 America would be
taken up Immediately in London. II
is understood that the state Depart
ment already has considered this matter
and that an agreement may be reached
20 guarantee that rubber shipped
to the United States by England or
British colonies will not be converted
into products to be placed later at the
disposal of hostile countries.
Charge Barclay of the British I'm
bassy and Counsellor Lansing, OF the
State Department, conferred to-day on
the British embargo on expectation Of
wool from Australia. Indications are
that an arrangement NAV be made
whereby Australian woods in excess OF
the British home requirement will be
allowed to be exported TO the United
States for manufacture under pledge
that the wool will not be re-eXported
70 Germany or Austria.
London, Nov. 16.-Premier Asquith
did not discuss the questions Of neutral
shipning and cOntraband in the House
Of Commons to-day as expected, but
will do so tomorrow. Sir Gilbert
Parker, conservative member for
Gravesend, brought forward the sub
ject by a question "to ask the Prime
Minister whether, in view of the anx-
ietv of public opinion IN the United
States with regard to the search for
belligerent reservists in American ves-
sells. the declaration of oil and conner
as contraband, and the mining Of the
North Sea, he will make a general eN-
planatory statement Of the policy Of
his majesty's government on these sub
jects."
Premier Asquith has promised to
reply and full statement Of the gov
ernments position is expected.
