geance for the cruel murder of the
archduke.
"In France and Belgium German
citizens were treated in the meanest
and almost incredible manner. They
were driven out of Paris and Antwerp
and in many cases their money and
railroad tickets were taken away.
They were then left without the
slightest protection to the mercies of
the mob. All Germans without
means have been transported to
southwestern France, where they are
forced to do work of the lowest kind.
"In Belgium excuses against Ger
man citizens have taken place which
should be expected only from savages.
Every store owned by a German has
been wrecked Practically all Ger
mans were robbed of their belongings.
Many who tried to escape were
slaughtered and the clothes torn from
their bodies. German women have
been stripped, dragged through the
streets by the hair when naked and
shamelessly abused.
"In France, and especially in Bel
GUM, the inhabitants have attacked
and killed small detachments of SOL
diers, as well as physicians and the
wounded, from ambush. The Ger
man consul in Marseilles was beaten
by a mob and bottles were
thrown at him. The German
embassy at st. Petersburg has
been demolished. And in all these
cases the police made not even an
effort to interfere. According to trust
worthy reports all Italians have been
driven from France, after being
abused shamefully.
Our successes have so far been
grossly belittled or not reported at
all Liege was completely in our pos
session about the sixth day of mobili-
zation. This is a success that has no
equal in the history of the world On
the preceding day an attempt had
been made to surprise the fortress
with weak forces, which was repealed.
Out of this great and important de-
| feat has been constructed.

CLEARS MYSTERY
OF WOMAN DEATH
Professor Zeit Finds Operation
Killed Ada Corbett in Pri-
vate Sanitarium.
FIRST SUSPECTED POISON
Authorities of Illinois Town lnVesti-
gate circumstances Surrounding
the Case.

Chicago. Ill, April 2.-The authori-
ties of Paxton. ILL.,. are investigating
the circumstances surrounding the
unexpected death of Miss Ada Corbett
at the private sanitarium of DIR. Cor
nelius c. Vanderbeck in st. Louis three
months ago.
Foul play was first suspected. but the
latest developments indicate that death
was caused by an operation and moth
ing more than a scandal and couple
OF damage actions are expected to re-
suit
The apparent mystery was solved by
DIR. F. Robert Zeit, head of the path
ology laboratories of Northwestern
University Medical school. He was en-
gagged by States Attorney Oscar Wylie
and Coroner John Hansen of Ford
county and will report in a day or so.
Miss Corbett, who was 80 years old,
kept house for a bachelor brother,
Frank Corbett, a plumber of Paxton.
In the latter part of December she
took a leave of absence. Subsequent
~ the brother was notified that she
died at DIR. Vanderbeck's sanitarium.
Brothers Suspicious Aroused.
Frank Corbett says he thought it a
bit strange when DR.. Vanderbeck hired
the undertaken and turned over the
body in a coffin, all ready for burial,
but he was not really suspicious until
he learned that a married man of Pax
ton-the father of four children-had
been absent in St Louis at the same
time that Miss Corbett was there.
Frank Corbet consulted with two
Chicago brothers-Fred and Joseph
Corbett of 1866 Milwaukee avenue,
and the three concluded it was case
for the states attorney.
The body was eXhumed last Thurs
dov and Professor Zeit prepared for an
autopsy. He discovered one already
had been held without authority and
all the organs except the liver had
been removed. Yesterday a story was
current that poison had been found.

Poison was found in the liver, but |
IL was septic poisoning and was trace |
able to an operation" said Professor /
Zeit last night. Il was surprised to
find the organs missing. True, medi- !
cal colleges frequently remove the or
gans for clinical purposes, but I'm not |
sure that DR.. Vanderbeck would want
the organs for that There is no doubt l
about the operation, but whether or
not il was a criminal operation is diff
cult TO determine. as the corpus

were removed.
There was no need to look for ar

Hot Springs, Ark, March 21.-Fred
Clarke thinks if pick the Pirates to
win the National League pennant the
Pirates will be jinxed down into the
second division. Therefore, we must
be content to say that the Pirates
look to be strong contenders.
Clarke, by making the most spec
tacular trade of recent baseball his
tory, has cleaned his team of clash
ing elements, and he has in the field
a fierce hitting infield; pitching staff
that does not seem as strong on paper
as that of last spring, but is now a
working staff; a catching staff above
major league average, and an expert
mental outfeld.
Let us examine the infield, the real
strength of the team. KOnetchy at
first was for years rated among the
best, and this season, away from the
Cards, and inspired with new ambi-
ton, he probably will come into his

Wagner is the chief strength. You
who have figured Honus as gone back
guess again. The ambition of Wag-
ner's life is to quit while at the climax
of his career. He reported this spring
lighter and better than in three sea-
sons.
Then there is Mike Mowrey at
third. For ten years Mike has suf-
fered from stomach trouble-a form
of nervous dyspepsia. He claims he is
entirely cured. He looks better, and
is faster than he has been in several
years.
That veteran infield is to be fianked
by a makeshift outfield. Carey will
be one, and probably the two slashing
youngsters, Jim Kelley and George
Watson, will fill the places vacated
by Clarke and Leach. Jim Kelley
looks a corking outfielder. Joe Kelly
from st. Joe is promising. Mike Nit
