VICIOUS DOG RIPS
CASH IN UPPER LIP
OF YOUNG CHILD

Russell Alexander, aged 5, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Alexander, 231
South Third street, was attacked by
a vicious dog on Main street in front
Of the Robinson factory, about noon
today. and the animal ripped cash
half inch long through the child's up
per lip.
Employees of the factory drove the
dog into the office and kept it there
until Officer Vogelsong arrived. He
shot the dog as it stood in the Of
flee. A physician was summoned anf
the child received prompt medical
treatment.
There is possibility that the ami
NAL was afflicted with rabies and it
is quite probable that the dogs head
will be sent to the state laboratory
to determine whether it was afflicted
with this disease. In the event that
it was the little boy will be sent to the
state Pasteur institute for treatment.

PLANS MILTON TRIP
TO BOOST HIGHWAY

There will be an open meeting Of
the Wayne Township Old Trails Road
association. at the Commercial club
rooms this evening at eight o'clock.
Matters of importance will be taken
up.
A report from the county organiza-

up and arrangements made for at
tending the meeting at Milton Thurs
day night, Centerville Friday night,
Williamsburg Saturday night, to be
followed at an early date by an auto
mobile excursion into the different
townships to acquaint them with the
purpose of the organization and as
sist in forming such an organization
in each township. Clifford Price,
chairman of the membership commit
tee, will report. The matter of a
ladies' auxiliary to this association
will also be considered. No citizen
of the community can afford to shTk
his responsibility in the matter of Gre
ating enthusiasm and planning for re-
building the National road.
There is great deal of notoriety in
the newspapers over the Lincoln Mem
orial Way and the Dixie Highway.
Enthusiasm over the county is graft
flying to the leaders and it will soon
be unpopular for individuals to neg
lect their part in this enterprise.

Mr. and Mrs. David Loynd, who spent
a month visiting Mrs. Belle Thompson

friend of the Loynds, have given up

bled for information regarding the
Loynds and received reply saying
they had not been located.
The Loynds reside in suburb of

ian minister and came to country a
short time ago to take a church in
Pennsylvania, immediately taking out

tiations fer the purchase of dry
goods store in Liverpool.

days in Pennsylvania to visit. They
proceeded to New York where they
took passage on the Lusitania.
Attempts were made to prevent the
Loynds from leaving here. but Mr..
Loynd refused to heed warnings, de-
claring there was no danger of sub
marine attack on the Lusitania. He
wrote for passage While in Richmond
and had his tickets and staterooms
reserved before leaving here.
Mrs Grimshaw has written relatives
in England asking for information re-
garding her sister and brother-in-law W.
Members of the family believe Mr..
Loynd's perfect assurance that moth
ing would happen to the Lusitania and
in his confidence of reaching England
safely. would prevent him from max
ing preparations for safety even
though other passengers on the boat
were impressed by the warnings and
threats given out before the sailing.

Police Search for Elmer
Fleming, Charged With
Abducting Son After Wife
Refused to Return.

Elmer Fleming, 1116 South A

and Mrs. Charles Rule, Eaton, O., abb
Quoted his four year old son from the
mother last night, while in Eaton, es-
Gaping in an automobile driven by an
unknown man before the distracted
mother could notify the Eaton author
tiles. The whereabouts Of Fleming
and the child could not be ascertained
today, but it is believed that he went
to Anderson where some of his rela-
tives reside
the Adams Express company in this
west with his family. They made their
home at Cheyenne, Wyo.,, but about
two months ago he returned to Rich
mond with his wife and baby and they
made their home at 1116 South A
street.
Return to Richmond.
1t is reported that there we're many
domestic disturbances in the Fleming
household following their return from
Cheyenne and that a few weeks ago
Fleming tried to commit suicide by
locking himself in the bathroom and
turning on the gas. The police were
summoned and Fleming's attempt on
his life was thwarted. After that Mrs
Fleming took the baby and went to
her parents home in Eaton.
It is stated that Fleming went to
Eaton early last evening in an auto
mobile and drove up in front Of his
father-in-law's home. He talked with
his wife for. some time trying to per.
suade her to return with him to Rich
mond. This she flatly refused to do
Then he asked her if he could not
walk about with the baby a little
while. She finally consented to this
and, it is said, Fleming after walking
short distance with his son picked
him up and jumped into the automo.
bile, which was driven rapidly out OF
the city.
Mrs. Fleming came to Richmond
last night and reported the kidnapping
at police headquarters. Fleming did
not return to Richmond, however, or
at least the police were not able to
locate him.

FRENCH ADMIT
TRENCHES LOST
AT vERMELLES
Germans Retake Positions
Shortly After Allies Take
Lines While Teuton Artil-
lery Assists Infantry.

PARIS, May 12.-Official admission
that part of the trenches captured by
the French at Vermelles had been re-
taken by the Germans on a furious
counter assault was made today by the
French war office. The German at
tacks were delivered last night within
few hours after the French had oc.
cupied the earthworks
The official communication shows
that the great battle north of Arras
still continues over ground which has
seen much furious fighting since the
war began.
Vermelles lies 5 miles southeast of
Bethune and about II miles north of
Arras. 1t is on the Bethune-A Arras
highway and upon the railway line
that runs through Douai and Bethune
1t is not lar north of Carency where
the French claimed to have the Ger
mans nearly surrounded yesterday
The Germans have taken up strong al
tillery positions in the Arras sphere of
operations.
At some points they massed an un-
expected mass of men and guns and
we're able to assume the offensive af-
ter the battle had been launched by
the allies. An enormous number of
cannon have been sent to this front
from Germany and Belgium.

Should American representatives to
Germany be recalled and Count Won
Bernstroff handed his passports it is
recognized that it will be difficult to

tries.
Cabinet Backs Wilson.
President Wilson, it is understood
is backed by his cabinet in the ac-
ton he has taken, although Secretary
Bryan, Secretary of Navy Daniels and
Secretary of Labor Wilson, are not
as strong in their support of 1t, 1T is
believed, as some of the others.
1t is reported in Washington today
that the president feels he has no
course open to him than to send note
of the character he has outlined. He
is as determined as ever to prevent
war if possible and also the severance
OF diplomatic relations with Germany,
but in his note he will put the issue
squarely up to Germany.
Attitude Unchanged.
President Wilson's policy OF firm
ness was unchanged, by the receipt
of a note from Germany stating that
the German government shall respect
the flag of the American nation but
does not intend to desist in attacks
on enemy ships merely because they
carry neutral passengers.
The presidents note Will voice the
Indignation felt by the American peo-
ple over the loss of more than hun
dred citizens of the United States on
the British liner Lusitana.
The cases OF the Lusitania, the Gulf
light. the Gushing and the Falaba are
to be Joined together in presenting
the case for the United States to
Germany. What the president specl-
ficallv wants, according to reliable re-
ports is assurance from the Teutonlc
ruler that ships suspected of being
I'm warlike trade shall be searched
bnd. if discriminating evidence be
found. seized as prizes of war. but
not sent to the bottom without warn
ing. merely upon a presumption OF
guilt.
1t is also confidently stated that the
presidents note shall declare that the
United States has not at any time
recosnzed the right of Germany to
carry on such a warfare as that dl'
rected against the Lusitanla.

NEW YORK, May 1.-Two hun

been terrified by the sinking of the
Lusitania and the knowledge that they
themselves had a narrow escape from
death arrived in port today on the Gu

William Livessy of Caldwell. n. J.,
declared that several passengers saw
periscopes while the SaXonia was
passing through ST. Georges channel
One of the submarines was so near
that the captain of the Cunarder or

belts and the life boats were swung
outward for immediate use. When
word of the Lusitania was received by
wireless, the officers of the Saxonia
tried to keep it secret but it leaked
out.
