on the farm and for few months last

because of worries over financial af-
fairs and the care Of her children she
had become discouraged, at times ex-
pressing dependency to her friends.
Before the unfortunate woman mad

her sister-in-lsw, Mrs. Case, who lives
on farm about six miles from her,
asking that her children be cared for.
and expressing grief over the act she
was about to perform. Upon taking
the poison her means and grOans

who called to her sister, and one Of
them ran to neighboring house

been working for Mrs. Townsend but

The Bits victim, the battleship
Messudieh, was an old predre&d

was reconstructed at Genoa in 1903.
She was about 10000 tons displace-

sudieh was tcrpedoed, but II is as
sumed here that the loss OF life was
heavy The Messudieh had a crew OF
600 and was probably differed in part
by Germans, as German officers have
been assigned to Turkish warships
very generally since the sultan de-
clared himself as an ally of the kaiser.
The Bills successful raid probably
was the second attempt OF the kind.
More than week ago II was reported
from Constantinople that a foreign
submarine. presumably British, had
been detected by the lookout on the
forts at the entrance Of the Dardan-
Giles and had been fired on. Appar'
emily the first raider got away unin-
jured, although without accomplishing
her object. since there was no further
report Of her from either Turkish or
