GIRL SPIES DIE AS
BRAVELY AS DO MEN
Shooting of Women Takes Place
Daily in Cities of North
France.

In the North of France.-No lists or
even figures are officially disclosed,
but the shooting of spies takes place
daily in this and other towns of the
district. and in these last three days
nearly as many women have been shot
as men
The most seasoned veteran loathes
the task of shooting women, but &C
cording to the laws it must be done.
They are lined up with the men, often
mere girls or women Of refinement at
the zenith of their charm and beauty,
who, according to their lights, give
their lives for their country and meet
death as bravely as any man.
So many spies have been caught in
France lately that the possession. of
papers apparently in good order avafls
a man or woman nothing once an &C
cusation has been made or suspicion
aroused. 1t is asserted that no Ger
man tongue can ever pronounce GER
tain French words without betraying
itself. 1t is failure to pass tests of
this kind which condemns the sus-
poets.
Their papers may have been stolen
and the signatures on their passports
studied so that the holders can pro
duce passable limitations at will. Spies
have even been caught with their own
photographs superimposed upon 9th
ers on passports and with the official
stamp on the photographs counter
feited.

F0RTY-SEVEN MINERS
KILLED BY EXPLOSION
Trapped in the Lower Levels the Men
Were Suffocated Like Rats
in Hole.

Royalton, H., Oct. 30.-The death
toll of the explosion that wrecked the
mine of the Franklin Coal and Coke
company near here is estimated at
90. Rescue workers have brought the
number of recovered bodies to AZ and
report three other bodies visible, but
not accessible. Mine officials say 2S4
miners, seven of them injured, es-
capped Immediately following the blast
and these. together with the dead and
missing, account for the 334 men that
entered the shaft just before the ex-
plosion.
Only II of the dead have been iden-
tilted and most of the other bodies
are mangled so badly that Identified
ton will be impossible.
In an effort to relieve the hysteria
which has been general among the
women and children of the missing,
the coroner today barred all relatives
of the dead from the two temporary
morgues.
The lives of at least two hundred
were saved, because of the fact that
work had not started when the explo-
sion occurred. The cage had already
taken 302 men down and SO more were
standing about the top of the shaft
waiting to descend. The others had
not yet penetrated into the galleries
where they were to work, and, rushing
back to the shaft, most of them got to
the surface before the whole interior
became an inferno of flame, smoke
and gas.

SEES NO ATROCITIES IN BELGIUM,

ties, IL there were such, were more
gians than by Germans This is so
because the Belgian hold that the
German struck below the belt" by
violating their solemn treaty to re-
spect and defend the neutrality of Bel
GUM. Besides, the Belgians, with a
nation small and weak, felt that any
thing would be pardonable against
the powerful and merciIess invader
The stories Of wanton cutting of

me as probably imaginary and orig
mating only in half-delirious brains.
Some one may turn up tomorrow. with
evidence to confound me, but my ex-
periences and investigations force
upon me this opinion.
Says the Belgians "sniped."
That Belgians "sniped" German
soldiers undoubtedly is true. This
happened at Louvain and elsewhere,
as l have ascertained from both Ger
mans and Belgians Of veracity. The
Belgians defend their action. They
assert that the Germans Illegally and
UNANIMOUSLY invaded them and wrecked
their civilization, giving them the
right to punish the enemy in whatever
way their feeble powers would permit.
I do not find that the. German SOL
diers are save ges. On the contrary,
| have seen them searching the fields
before Antwerp for Belgian wounded
who had lain out all day and all night.
l have seen them gathering up these
victims Of war and transporting them
to hospitals with all tenderness and
sympathy. 1t seemed to me that they
dealt more tenderly with wounded
Belgians than with their own wounded.
Girl Who Fires on Troops Slain.

done an act that he deeply deplored.
He was a young fellow who had been
employed in a Berlin drapery shop.
At Wise. Immediately after he had en-
tered Belgium and before he had had
an opportunity to kill any one in bat
tie, a beautiful girl rushed into the
street and began to fire into the
the German ranks from an automatic
pistol.
An officer detached a squad to deal
with the girl, ordering that she be
killed. The Berlin man, followed by
his comrades, chased the girl into a
house, thrust his bayonet through her
body and pinned her against a wall.

German Repulse Verified.
London, Oct 28.-The Russian adj
vance against the Germans in the east
ern fighting is verified in reports from
Berlin and Petrograd. The Berlin re-
port admits the Germans have been
forced to retreat, but claim the move
was necessary in face of Russian re-
Inducements.
The official communication from Pc
trograd says:
in the battle which has been in
progress for four days south of the
Pilitza river in the forests on the line
extending from Bialogura (Bialobrze-
gil to Glowaczow, Policzna, and Jan

tack was successfully maintained
Belqian Army Hit Hard.

The Belgian army is said to have
lost one-third of its members in the
battle of Flanders, as the present con-
fiict has been named.
The German losses in the battle
along the User are placed at $4,000;
those of the allies scarcely less.
Although the Germans have lost
ground near Dixmude, the allies and
the invading legiOns of the kaiser are
still locked in death grip along the
User canal in northwestern Belgium
and the fighting there has been I'm.
paralleled in ferocity.
Back and forth across the crimson
corpse-choked stream the conflict has
now ragged for a week. Seven times
the Germans succeeded in crossing to
the west side only to be driven back
by the British, French and Belgian
troops hurled against them.

To Reimburse Farmers for Animals
Killed in Fight on Disease.
Indianapolis, Oct. 27.-Responding
to a demand from live stock breeders
of the state, Governor Ralston agreed
to a proposition of the department of
agriculture on Saturday that the state
and federal governments shall share
in the expense of compromising farm
ers whose diseased stock is killed in
the effort to stamp out-the contagious
foot and mouth disease.
The department of agriculture has
agreed to advance the money to
meet the expense, depending upon the
general assembly of Indiana, which
meets in January, to make an appro-
priation to reimburse the federal de-
partment.
1t is estimated that the live stock
which must be killed is valued at
100000.
