THESE KIDS CAN RAISE A LOT OF

James Boys, who, so history tells US,
took delight in burying live. cats.

where you are an aristocrat and pro-
nounce the word "Edgewatah," has
the prize bad boys. The kids have
kept the neighborhood in the vicinity
of 828 Lafayette Parkway in an up
roar for some time.
Whenever it was reported that the
lads had cut off cats tail, put fly
paper on the parlor rug, inserted a
speedy brick through a plate glass
window or placed broken milk bottles
under auto tires, the wise sages of
Edgewater merely nodded their
heads, muttered something about
boys will be boys" and passed the af-
fair over.
After the fire department had put
in half an hours work on blaze in
an apartment at $40 Lafayette Park
way, figured the loss at $1,000 and
discovered that the place was no
longer insured, an amateur Sherlock
Holmes espied the four-year-old lads
across the street How did it start?"
he asked, accosting the lads. "Oh,'
we just used paper an boxes an a
match. It was a good fire, wasn't
it?" said one of the tiny f1rebugs.

Peck took Mr.. Fishers machine and
went down as soon as possible.
They found the body to be in a bad
ly dsintegrated condition. and most of
her clothing had been torn off by brush
and the swift current. A large portion
of her face had purified and fallen
away. making 1t impossible to recog-
nize her by facial resemblance. Her
slippers and her stockings were still on
her when she was found, but her
clothes were torn off with the exception
of her corsets.
Mr.. Bond identified her positively by
the wedding ring which she wore on
her finger. AS soon as 1t was learned
that she had been found the asylum
whistle gave four long blasts. The
whistle was sounded at about II
o'clock, so that is the time the news
reached here.
Mr. Peck took the rough box down
this afternoon and the funeral will be
held as soon as possible on account of
the condition of the body.

that has been offered for sometime

body was about half out of the water
and the Upper part was over log.

 May Demand Explanations

Paris, Aug. 13, 3:50 a. mt is de- clared here that the alleged purchase by Turkey of the German cruisers Constantinople, probably will be the subject of a demand for explanations on the part of France and her allies.
 An official communication issued at Brussels contradicts the reports that the Germans are strongly re-entrench- ing their positions in the vicinity of Liege. It adds that the cavalry Is undoubtedly falling back and that only part of the city of Liege is be- ing fortified by the Germans. The bombardm ent of the forts was re- stunned yesterday, but they still hold out.
 Ordinary traffic on the greater part of the French railways, with the ex- ception of the eastern lines, will be resumed soon, 1t is announced.
 It is claimed in a -semi-ofHcial state ment that the French artillery has proven far superior to that of the Germans. The latter's heavy shells show little effectiveness, it is said.
 An official communication states ing out; that the Belgian troops to the west of the city resumed the of fensive, and after lively struggle drove the Germans back and recap tured ground that had been lost.

 To encourage commerce during the war the French government, it is an- nounced, will cover war risks on inn portations and exportatiops by sea.

 A despatch from Rome declared that the departure of the Austro- Hun" garian ambassador to Italy, Kajetan Mercy de Kapos- Mere, stated to be for reasons of health, was really due to the impossible situation resulting from the failure of his effort to obtain Italian support for Austria and Ger many. An official communication published here today says:
 "A division of Belgian cavalry, supported by brigade of infantry and by artillery, engaged and defeat ed near the fortress of Diest, eighteen miles northest of Louvain. a division of German cavalry, also supported by infantry and by artillery.
 ''The fighting was extremely fierce and resulted in the Germans being thrown back toward Hasselt and St. Trend.''
