picnickers to their deaths when it top

Saturday morning, hiding from fed
eral officers in South Bend
Interest in the probe of the steam
er disaster suddenly shifted TO this
city Friday when il was learned on
good authority that two federal Off
GERS were here searching for man
connected with the Eastland The
man was said TO be a petty officer on
the ship which capsiZed and had fled
from Chicago immedi-
ately after the boat turned over.
That the man wanted here could be
held cTiminally liable is possible and
the fact that the federal government
is searching for the man puts the case
in a serious light. The CHICAGO inves-
tigatOrs are making every effort to find
the person or persons directl' or in
directly TO blame for the disaster and
have taken in custody all those con-
nected with the tragedy.
II is understood that the EaStland
sailor is hiding on the west side with
relatives. The federal officers could
not be located Friday but il was
known that they were working here.

LONDON. July 3O-Evacuation of
Warsaw and the entire lire of Vistula
river defenses in Poland has been be-
gun by the Russian troops, according
TO unofficial. but reliable reports re-
ceived here from Petrograd today.
The cars troops are said to be with
drawing in perfect order, taking with
them their artillery and great stores
of war munitions
Warsaw, Ivangorod and Novo
Georgievsk are understood to be still
garrisoned, but only enough troops
have been left there to protect the
general retreat of the main forces.
Official announcement of the evacu-
alton of Warsaw is expected from Pc
trOgrad as soon as the Russian armies
have successfully executed their re-
treat to the second line of defense on
the front extending from Kovno. on
the Niemen, through GrodnO to Brest
LitoVsk on the Bug.
The Russian abandonment of the
Nistula front is attributed TO the same
fact that caused their retreat in Ga
licia-lack of ammunition. By the
time the Germans reach the new line
of Russian defense. if they are able to
continue their advance Immediately,
the cars field commanders hope that
this lack of ammunition will be re-
moved
BY falling back TO the Niemen-Bug
line, the Russians are shortening their
front This will permit the dispatch
of troops to the Baltic region and the
Galician-P Poland frontier, where the
right and left wings of the Russian
armies are under heavy pressure.

for breeding places in the immediate
neighborhood. The most effective
way to exterminate the fly is to strike
at it's breeding place. Destroy the
future fly by preventing flies from
laying eggs and by destroying mag
gots.
Each female fly lays an average of
about 1000 eggs, which in few days
hatch into maggots. The maggots
soon creep into the ground and form
lpupae, which after 10 days develop
into young flies. The complete cycle
requires about Is days.
