GERMANS DUST
MANY FROM HOME
WOMEN, CHILDREN AND AGED
MEN EXPELLED BY INVADERS.
NEARLY ALL OF THEM PENNlLtSS.
Swiss Charitable Societies Notified
that at Least a Quarter Million
will pass Through that
Country during May.

Geneva, April 2S.-Swiss charitable
societies have been notified by Ger
many that between 100000 and 300,-
1000 French families, expelled from
the northern departments of France
in the possession of Germany because
of the lack of food, will pass through
Switzerland during May.
The Swiss people are doing every
thing possible for the comfort and
care Of these refugees. Most of them
Iare penniless and consist largely of
|old men, women and children
1t is estimated that the actual num-
Der of persons in the French families
expelled from their home lands in
northern France is more than 1,000.-
900. Presumably those reported go
ing through Switzerland In May are
destined for southern France, the
route through the little republic be-
ing Germany's only way of getting
them out of the country her troops
occupy.
viously expelled have already passed
over that route, as reported in earlier
dispatches, but until now there has
been no indication of the great exc
dus set for May.
Exactly how much French territory
the German armies hold at present
cannot be computed. In December,
however, the Depeche de Toulouse
announced that the Germans occu-
pied onetwenty-fifth of all France.
Sept. a. 1914, the Germans occupied
one-twelfth of France, but the ad.
vance of the allied armies largely re.
duced that proportion before Jan.
and has made it somewhat smaller
since then.
The Credit Foncier estimated In
December that the area of France
actually invaded and occupied by
Germans at that time covered the
whole of the Ardennes. 10 per cent
of the Nord, So per cent of the Aisne,
so per cent OF the Meuse, b per cent
of the Pas dc Calais and Meurtheret,
Moselle, l6 per cent of the Somme.
II per cent of the Marine and 10 per
cent of the Disc departments.
This area" said the Credit Fon-
cier, some 81 per cent of French
territory, contains IL per cent of its
wealth. The intrinsic value would
be 14,6O0, 100000 higher. The selling
value of the nOn-buiIt-on land may be
put at 4,000,000,00O francs; that Of
buildings at 4,SGO,0OO,C00 francs"
The purpose of the Germans in ex-
pelling the Inhabitants, it is said is
to hold the lands for German settlers
after the war.

Prisoners to Farm.

Des Moines, April 2S.--Prisoners
from the penitentiary at Fort Madison
will be used to take care of the big
tract of land owned by the state al
Woodward, according to the present
plans of the state board of control.
This will in effect give the state a
custodial farm at that place in spite
of the refusal of the Thirty-sixth as
sembly to make financial provisions
for the upkeep of such an institution.
Arrangements are being made by
the board OF control for transferring
number of prisoners to the farm at
once In order to get the land under
cultivation. When the question of an
appropriation became doubtful the
board leased some 300 acres of the
500 acre farm, retaining the balance
in the event that the necessary funds
were furnished for the institution
planned.

Fugitive Last Seen at Terre Haute

Another Car-5elleVed to be
On Way to Canada. ..

Sullivan, Ind, April 2S.-Edward J,
King, cashier of the State bank Of
Digger, a mining town ten miles
from here, is missing and is alleged
to have taken $4,000 of the banks
money with him.
The officers of the bank have post
ed a reward of $500 for the arrest Of
King. Bank examiners are at Dug
ger going over Kings accounts, and
until they complete their task the cX-
act amount of the shortage will not
be known. The $4,000 stated by the
bank officers as the amount taken by
King when he absconded is merely an
estimate.
Was Observation-Disclosures"
King, who is about forty years old
and married, but without children, has
been regarded as one of Dugger's
leading business men. He was
"hail-fellow-well-met" with every
body, and was a popular member Of
the Elks lodge.
A warrant for Kings arrest on a
charge of larceny is in the hands Of
Edward Kelley, of this city, sheriff
of Sullivan county, and a search is
being made for the fugitive cashier
Fled In Big Red Auto.
King was in Digger last Saturday,
and was attending to business as usual.
In the afternoon he drove an auto
about town in so reckless a manner
that he struck another car and de-
molished it. Late Saturday night he
was seen to ride out of the town in
a large, red touring car. The car
was found Sunday in a Terre Haute
garage with the Tenders battered and
the sides plastered with mud King
reached Terre Haute it is said, about
three o'clock Sunday morning, and
has not been seen since.
II is said there was nothing in his
life at Digger that indicated he was
a high roller" or "spender." How
ever, the name of a young woman
who formerly lived at Digger, but
who recently moved to Indianapolis,
has been mentioned with that of the
absconding cashier.
Lee Bays. deputy prosecutor, says
he learned that King had been traced
to Indianapolis where he was Joined
by the young woman referred to and
that they left there for Canada.
