NO BLANK SPACES
ALLOWED IN GERMAN PAPERS
(By Associated Press. \

Berlin, June 8.-White spaces
here and there in the columns of the
newspapers, such as appear In the
French and Austrian papers, show
ing where an offending sentence or
paragraph has been chiseled out by
order of the censor, do not appear
in the German press. The explana-
tion judging by a report from Dues
seldorf, is that it is not permitted.
In Duesseldorf the police descended
on the Office Of the Volkeszeitung, a
socialist organ, late on a Saturday
afternoon, and ordered that the Sun
day number should not appear. The
occasion for the action was the fact
that the Volkeszeitung had appeared
the day before with blank spaces,
showing excisions, by the censor
which had not been filled up with
permitted matter.

bullet pierces his head and he falls
dead on the field. I'm this particular
case the professor does not think
there is any physical pain, not even
at the moment when the bullet
comes in contact with the skull. He
questions very much whether pain is
even felt by the soldiers who meet
their death in this way, even though
their mental faculties may be less
concentrated.
With regard to drowning in sea
battles, Rothnagel is also of opinion
that death is painless, and he sees
absolutely no reason to support the
popular belief that drowning man
in the brief act of dying has his past
life reproduced before his eyes.
Science, SO far as it is known to the
professor. utterly opposes this the
ory.-London Chronicle.

RMLESS MAN ASSIST
ING CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press. J

Berlin, June S.-One of the most
useful officials engaged in assisting
and teaching crippled soldiers is the
artist Unthan, who was
born without arms. but who, never
theless, has become remarkable
violin player, painter and an ex-
pert swimmer.
Unthan is a firm believer in swim
ming as an aid to the physique of
the crippled, and maintains that
arms really are hindrance rather
than help in the water. He recent
ly lectured to group of persons in
terested in caring for crippled sol
diers, and then gave an exhibition OF
his remarkable armless swimming
He is being pointed out as an exam
pie of courage and independence to
be followed by the German soldirs
invalided back home.

WOULD SUBSTITUTE
). BEANS FOR MEAT
(By Associated Press.)

London, June S.-The recent rise
of meat has caused ono Of London's
great dailies to plead the cause of
the bean, a food little used in Eng
land.
Meat is the basis Of the English
mans fare. If of the well-to-do
class, he buys the best English meat.
which is unsurpassed in tenderness
and flavor. If unable to afford Eng
lish meats, he gets the cold storage
products of Australia and of the Ar
gintine Republic and the United
States. Working classes live ON
stews made Of scraps or Of frozen
rabbits from Australia. Cabbage,
sprouts or cauliflower in varying de-
grees of freshness and potatoes con-
stitute the rest of the staple fare of
Britain.
Lentils are better known than
beans and are beginning to have
small vogue as a meat substitute.
But about the only bean is the
French haricot. The small white
bean, the staple food of the western
ranches, the mining and laboring
home of America, and also the large
red bean have yet to be introduced
in the British Isles. In no respect
are the British more conservative
than in the matter of food, but the
war has already worked many
changes and the recent increase in
meat prices amounting from to
cents a pound may help along the
cause of the bean.

NOTORIOUS ASHLEY
GANG COMPLETELY
BROKEN UP

Miami, Fla, June S-"Bob has
been killed John will pay the pen
atty for his crime on the gallows and
that will be the last of It,"
This statement was made last
night by Ed Rodgers, father-in-law
of Will Ashley, who was here yester-
day making arrangements to send
the body of the young desparado
home for burial, say the Metropolis.
There will be no further trouble
from the Ashley's," he further said.
In telling of the condition of the
family, Rodgers said that the moth
er was a good Christian woman and
that although it was reported that
the family had plenty of the money
that was taken from the Stuart bank,
there was no truth in 1t and that
Mrs Ashley would starve before
she would touch a cent of it"
He said that the mother is old
and crazed with her troubles, and
that when John is hanged that they
would ask Dade county for his body
and that it would be buried by the
side of the brother Bob who was
killed here Wednesday.
1t was learned yesterday that the
young desperate had dyed his hair
reddish color and that it was nat
urally a deep black. Mr.. Rodgers sat
on the veranda of the undertaking
parlors all day, watching the crowds
come and CO. He looked haggard
and care-worn from the trouble that
his wife's people were experiencing.
Bob Ashley is survived by his par
ents, three sisters and three brothers
besides John, who is in jail here.
Rodgers stated that Bob had been
crazy for about two months and
that his family had been afraid that
he would be killed He said that
| Bob had fallen out with kid Lowe
more than two months ago and that
he and Lowe had divided the money
and parted. He said that this wa:
the last that was ever seen of Lowe
by any of the Ashleys.
1t is believed by many who are
familiar with the facts in the case
| that kid" Lowe is dead. Whether
he was killed by Bob Ashley or BY
other outlaws is not known by thost
who hold to this theory.

SAVANNAH ITALIANS
Being CALLED
TO THEIR COLORS

Savannah, June 8-Italian SUBJ
jects to the number of fifty or more
were formally called to the colors
through the Royal Italian counsel's
Office at Savannah yesterday and
while the matter has been kept quiet
as possible it is said upon good
authority the able-bodied citizens of
Sunny Italy will hasten on their way
home by Monday or Tuesday.
Sooner.
The call, while not unexpected,
came much sooner than had been
anticipated and the appeal to the
patriotism of the sons of Sunny
Italy caused a buzz of real excite
ment among the Italian conoly of
Savannah. The men are required to
report at Venice or Genoa as soon as
possible and in order to facilitate
their movement the acting consul,
Mr.. Guy Trapani, will on Monday is
sue the necessary transportation.
Eleven italians, who were located in
Savannah, have already been i'm
pressed into service, these having
been held in Italy when they went
home on a vacation last summer.
Among the men who are now serv-
ing in active army life are John
Lupo, Joe Amatuna, Frank Amatuna
and Manuel Bulwark.
To All
The call issued through the local
consulate yesterday was in common
with one which was sent to every
section and port of the United States.
The first draft includes the '.class
of '76," as the Italians call it, or in
other words those male subjects of
the kingdom between the ages of 20
and 80 years must hasten home with
thousands of other reservists to take
! an active hand in the warfare now
| being waged in the better part of the
old world.
The Business
The call yesterday developed an
interesting bit of railroad enter
prise on the part of the local pas
senger department. which captured
for the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
an nice slice of business. The local
traffic men who believed the call
must come sooner or later for re-
serves solicited the movement from
Savannah several days ago and prac-
tically all of the Savannah Italian:

inches wide and twelve inches long.
Into this she puts about one-eighth
of a pound of the pumice stone. To
prevent soiling this bag, it is slipped
into a cheesecloth case that can be
removed and washed. No water is
used on the window, but it is rubbed
