ITALY SENDS
MEN TO BALKANS
Army is Landing on Albanian
Territory.
TEUTOH ADVANCE CONTINUES
Austrians Capture 1900 Serbs Ia
Two Days FIshting-5ulaariana
Defeated In Mountains.

The long expected participation o
Italy In the Balkan campaign seems
at last to be under way, as Italian
troops have begun landing on Alba
nian territory, according to a ChiarsC
despatch to the Journal la Suisse
( forwarded by the Central News cor
respondent at Zurich.
1t is believed that the retreat Of
the Serbians and advance of the Bul
garians westward has aroused Italy
to the danger it involves to her pre-
tentions to domination of the Adriatie
sea and that she realizes she must
aid the allies with armed forces II
she is to maintain her position.
Although the Austro-German ad'
vance is pressing the Serbians hard,
driving them towards the KossovO
plain. a defeat Of Bulgarians by the
Serbians in a battle in Central Serbia
Is announced in an official cOmmuni'
cation given out at the Serbian aega
tion in Paris. Five Bulgarian cannon
were captured.
The communication which gives
partial confirmation Of recent reports
that the Serbians had assumed the
offensive and defeated the Bulgarians,
follows:
Battles occurred recently on the
old Serbo-Turkish frontier. The most
important encounters we're fought to
the west of Velika Plana and Mount
Zetovatz. We inflicted a defeat on
the enemy at the latter point, captur'
ing FIVE mountain cannon"
Velika Plana is twenty-five miles
west of Nish, and thirty-fve miles
northwest Of Leskovats, in the region
OF which an important Serbian victory
has been reported unoficially.
According to an announcement OF
Austrian army headquarters, General
Won Gatlwitz's army pushed back the
Serbians fighting northward Of Pris
tina to within about thirteen miles
Of the city and took Sunday and Mon
day 10000 prisoners.
Eastward and southeastward the
Serbians are still tenaciously resist
ing the Bulgarians.
Austro-Hungarian forces in the
Ibar valley advancing on Mitrovitza
Tuesday stormed powerful positions
on the north side of the valley and
one to the south, and gained full pos
session of the valley.
According to diplomatic advices re
ceived in Athens the Serbian govern
ment has been removed from Nitro |
vita to Prizrend, in western Serbia, !
near the Albanian border. The diplO'
matte corps has gone to Petch, Monte
negro.
Notable progress for the Bulgarians
In the region southeast Of Pristina, in
Serbia, with the capture of 5000 Ser
bians. forty-four cannon and twenty
two machine guns, was announced by
German army headquarters. The Teu'
tonic troops have taken 1900 ad1i
tional prisoners and captured six can

HILLSTROM SHOT

peaIed for Pays Penalty for Muir

Joseph Hillstrom, condemned mur.
Aerer. whose case attracted attention
throughout the country and prompt
cd the intercession of President Will.
sou. the minister to the United States
from Sweden and the American Fed.
Grafton Of Labor, was put to death
nv a firing squad in the state prison,
at Salt Lake City.
Hillstrom was convicted of the muir.
der of John G. Morrison, a grocer.
and his son, Airing. January 10, 1914.
Under the law, he was allowed to
choose between shooting and hang
ing. He was the nineteenth person to
nay the death penalty in Utah and the
fifteenth to choose shooting instead
Of hanging.
President Wilson twice appealed
for further respite for Hillstrom. The
presidents second request, made
Thursday, was denied by Governor
Spry as not based on any new facts.
Although self-posssessed, when he
faced his executioneIs, Hillstrom had
q sensational nervous collapse just
previously. He tied the door of his
cell with strips torn from his blankets
and fought the guards fereely with
che handle of broom he had snatch
cd from an attendant in the corridor.
The outburst was unexpected.
He arose and began to shake the
cell door, shrieking as If In a night
mare. The noise reached the outside
guards who turned in a general alarm.
The prison physician tried with slight
success to quiet the man. 1t was de-
eided not to interfere with him until
necessary and he was not disturbed
until the time to take him to the
scene of execution.
When the guards arrived for this
purpose Hillstrom attacked them saw
agely with the broomhandle, which he !
had broken in two, leaving a sharp |
point on one piece.
The deputy warden, A. c. Ure, re-
ceived a slight wound In the arm
from Hillstrom's weapon. Hillstrom
fought silently until Sheriff Corless
arrived and appealed to him.
"Joe, this is all nonsense" said
Corless. what do you mean? You
promised to die like a man." HILL
strom hesitated a moment and then
yielded. "Well, I'm through" he said.
''But you can't blame a man for fight
ing for his life"
The firing squad consisted of FIVE
men, who. were paid $40 each for the
work. They selected their rifles by
lot, one of the weapons containing
blank cartridge.
The chair for Hillstrom was placed
against the inner wall of the prison
facing a barricade to conceal the fir
and the spectators. After he was
seated attendants asked if he had any
thing to say. He said:
Gentlemen, I die with a clear con-
science. l never did anything wrong
IN my life. I die fighting, not like
coward. Well, I'm going, goodbye"
Hillstrom staggered to the chair and
his head dropped as he was strapped
in. Hillstrom's collapse was attrib-
uted to an opiate administered after
he had offered resistance in his cell.
The prison physician placed a pa.
per target directly over Hillstroms
heart to guide the members of the
firing squad.
When the officer started to give the
command to fire Hillstrom yelled:
let her go!" The squad fired, and
four bullets pierced his heart.

Carbolic acid is separated from the oil

Vanilla flavoring for cooking, which

POWER OF EL0QUENCE.

q Scotch Preacher Who Proved Him
self Real speIIbinder.
The magic power of eloquence to
hold an audience bound as by a spell
is commonly credited to the political
stump speaker. But that sosne of this
gift Of fascination is to be found in
the pulpit the Rev. DR.. Currier makes
clear in his book, Mine Great Preach
ers." To show the Importance of the
voice and manner in delivering the
message he tells the following story
Of the preaching of the Rev. DR.. Guth-
RE of Scotland:
Guthrie possessed to an eminent de-
gree the power Of apt, impressive IL
lustration. Joined to the witchery of
his voice, it sometimes amounted to a
power of enchantment. His auditors
were then spellbound by 1t.
An amusing instance is presented In
the conduct of Highland cattle
drover one day in Guthrie's congrega-
ton in Free st. Johns. The man
stood throughout the service in one of
the crowded aisles within few yards
of the pulpit. From the first he was
riveted, pinch of snuff every now
and then evincing his satisfaction. To-
ward the end of the sermon and just
as the preacher was commencing a
prolonged illustration, the stranger APP
piled to his horn NULL -
Arrested, however, he stood motion
less, his hand raised with the snur
between his fingers, his head. thrown
back, his eyes and mouth wide open.
The instant the passage was finished,
and before the audience had time to
recover their breath, the drover ap-
piled the snuff with gusto to his nos
trils, and, forgetting in his excitement
alike the place and the occasion he
turned his head to the crowd behind
and exclaimed, INA, sirs, never
heard the like of thatr' a
