point railroad bridge had heen blown
up. The men made their way as best
they could over the remains of the

today refused, IS to 1s, to abolish
hanging in Iowa. The matter came up
on the Gillette bilfs which was dis
cussed at great length and much feel
ing was displayed as betws the law-
yers ON the subject.
judiciary committee No. T reported
the bill several days ago with the rec
ommendation that it be Indefinitely
postponed. Thiy morning Senator Gill
lette was successful in mastering up
enough votes to get the report re-
jected. In q lengthy speech Gillette
condemned the present law, which
leaves 1t to the jury to decide whether
the person convicted OF first degree
murder should be hanged. Chase. Of
oCenterville and Taylor of Van Buren,.
argued in behalf of the measure
No Memorial Hall.

changes the present law to require that

spection of plumbing work and ma
terials.

Berlin, by wireless TO Sayv1ue, MaTCl
27.-The Russian offensive movement
to the north Of Tilsit came to an end
Friday night with the expulsion Of the
last Russian from the province. The
Germans advanced to Poiangen, and
the Russians were driven over the
frontier. The Russians were at Krot-
tingen and Jakubow. Steps have been
taken to guard the inhabitants OF this
district against further invasions OF
this kind.
Cavalry played great part in driv-
ing the Russians out of East Prussia.
The infantrymen were hindered by the
swampy nature Of the land and high
water which prevented rapid pursuit.
Altho the damage done by the invad-
ers is considerable it is not as great
as has been feared.
A large number Of the fugitives have
already returned to their homes and
the damage will be complete repaired.
German View Of Move.
The conclusion appears to be justi-
fled today that the Russian advance
on Memel on the Baltic, in East Prus-
sia, had a certain connection with the
general renewal of Russian offensive
activity. the purpose of which. accord

against East Prussia
The threatening Of Memel was fol-
lowed by an advande against Tilsit,

This offensive activity is taken in
Berlin to indicate that the Russians
have finished hlling out the gaps in
their line caused by the former victory
over them by Won Hindenberg and
that they are now ready for newcomers

CAUTIONS YOUNG SOLDIERS.
Canadian Commander Urges Troops to
Protect Own Lives.

Protect Own Lives.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 27.-The
first account of the experiences Of the
Canadian troops at the front. written
by an official Canadian recorder, and
given out here by the minister Of the
militia. tells of speech delivered by
General Alderon, the commander of
the Canadian troops, just before the
Canadians had their first experience in
the trenches.
General Alderon's soldlery STYLE" It
says, could not be better illustrated
than by extracts from his speech. In
part it follows:
Warns Against Exposure.
I'VE are about to occupy and main
tain a line Of trenches. Let me warn
out first that we already have had
several casualties while you were at
tached to other divisions. Some Of
these were unavoidable and that is
war. I have heard Of cases in which
men have exposed themselves with no
military object. We can't lose good
men like this. We shall want them all
il we advance, and we shall want them
all if the Germans advance. Do not
expose your heads, do not look around
corners unless for q. purpose necessary
at the moment you do it. You are pro-
vided with means for observing the
enemy without exposing yourselves.
To lose your life without military
necessity is to deprive the state Of
good soldiers. Young and brave men
enjoy taking risks but soldier who
takes such risks thru levity Is not
playing the game, and the man VINO
does so is also stupid, for whatever be
the average practice Of the German
army, the individual shots whom they
employ as snipers shoot straight and
they are always watching. II you put
your head over the parapet without
orders. they will hit that head.
"sit Tight in Trenches"
There is another thing. Troops
new to the trenches always shoot at
nothing the first night. It Is useless
and wastes ammunition. The enemy
says these are new and nervous troops.
You will be shelled IN the trenches.
When YOU. are shelled sit low and SIT
tight. There is nothing else to do. II
YOU get out you will only get 1t worse.
ii, YOU SO out the Germans will go in.
II the Germans go in we shall counter
attack and put them out. and that will
