BODYGUARD OF
 LINCOLN DIES
Col. w. IF. Crook Maintain ed That Substitute Was
 Responsible for Murder.

Washington, March 13.--Col w. H. Crook disbursing officer of the white house, who was President Lincoln s bodyguard and who has been ac- quainted intimately with every presi- dent since 1860, died today at his home here. He had been sick with pneumonia more than week.
 The assassination of Lincoln and Garfield, various weddings at the white house and the impeachment of President Johnson were among num- erous events which Colonel Crook re- called in memories of his halg-cen- tury of 'Whiteqhouse service. ;
 Lincoln Dreamed Of Murder.
 Colonel Crook told often of how, on the afternoon befo-. Lincoln's assas- sinatin the president had come to him in confidence and said that on three successive nights he had had dreams which foretold of his murder Crook thereupon begged the presi- dent not to go to the theatre that evening as planned. Lincoln insisted, and furthermore would not hear of Crooks accompanying him. He ordered Crook to go home and rest. As they parted Lincoln failed to say "good night"-the only time he ever failed to say it, said Crook.
 Colonel Crook also always main tained that the substitute guard that night became interested in the play and left his post of duty, and that if he himself had been present Booth would never have entered the theatre box to shoot Lincoln.

issue raised with Carranza or Villa. as the case may be, concerning the situation in Mexico City cannot be dis posed of as either simply abandoning the city temporarily so that new representations would have to be made to the other.
 The Spanish ambassador called at the state department to discuss the situation in the Mexican capital. The position of tue Spanish government is that various warning factions in Mexico have practically exhausted the loot that is tn be found among the native Mexicans and that they are TOW living almost entirely on the Spaniards. Feeling against the Spaniards is said to be growing in Mexico City.
 Five of them were killed by ObregOn troops before the recent evacuation of the capital. Secretary Bryan denied he ha dany dispatches giving ground for fear that if the murdercrs of Me Manus were executed there might be ricting and attacks on other Ameri- cans. The rapidty with which oc- equations and evacuations of the Mex ican capital have been conducted in the past year has brought the diplo- matic situation into such chaos that it is difficult for the state department to know just where to place respon- slhility.

A farmer at Bantnall, Salcp, Eng. land, mas liked his motorcycle on a stand against the wall of the farm buildings, and it drives chaff-cutter and turnir cutter at the same time. It does not cost much to work it. The turnip cutter is or the same level as the cycle, and is connected by kind of bicycle chain. The chafs-cutter Is placed above the turnip.cutter on an' other floor and connected by two-inch belting. After it has been on some little time the engine gets hot, so a fan is made to revolve by the side te keep it cool. 1t is also used for churning milk.

Balkans Point OF Interest.

LONDON, Oct. IL, 10:45 .. m.-Al-
though there is heavy fighting at some
points along the eastern front. as well
as in the west. the Austro-German
and Bulgarian invasion OF Servia and
the efforts of the British and French
generals to bring help TO their little
ally before II In too late continue to
occupy the chief attention OF the peo-
Piles of the belligerent countries.
The Servians are being helped by
the weather, which Is cold and winter
like. The rains have set in and are
impeding the movement of troops and
guns. which at the best must be slow
over what answer for roads In the
Balkan States.
The Germans. however. claim. to
have taken the heights south OF Bel
grade. while along the Danube the
army of General Won Gallwitz is push
ing the Servians back.
The Bulgarians also lay claim to a
rapid advance into Macedonia. al
though the French are already report
ed to be in contact with them at Giev-
CELL. while both the French and Brit
ish continue 10 land troops at Saloniki.
Neither Russian nor Italian assist
ance has yet developed. but the Ital-
isns have begun a more vigorous Of
fensive along their frontier, and have
captured Pregasina. an important ad-
vanced point of the fortified Riva
group on Lake Garda. This will be of

IL does the movement of any more Aus

Germans on Offensive.
The Germans have taken the ofen-
sive south OF Riga and forced the Rus
sions out OF their positions capturing
a large number OF prisoners and some
guns On the rest OF the eastern front
the offensive remains in the hands OF
the Russians. how are attacking west
OF Dvinsk. in the center and TO the
south of the Pripet River.
On the whole. II appears TO obser-
vers here as IL the Germans were sat
ished merely TO hold their present
line. except in the north where they
haev amde repeated attempts TO take
Dvinsk. This would mean the fall of
Riga and would copmel the Russians
TO withdraw ebyond the Dvina River
This ambition has already cost the
Germans many thousands OF men, but
they keep on trying, first in the north.
then In the south and then on the
Dvinsk front At present their attacks
are developing the greatest force in
