TOLD TO KILL SELF
German Soldier Takes Own Life
at Officers Order.
DISCIPLINE IS MAINTAINED
Correspondent Finds Main Army KEPT
From Atrocltles-Outposts In the
Country Are Accused OF Con-
hitting Abuses.

Chicago-.I have just returned from
Montdidier, is kilometers tnine mlies'
east of Roye, writes Gabriel Delagarde
to the Chicago Daily News. gieaneu
there information which tends to show
that, while discipline Is severely main
tanned by the German military au
thorities in the larger communities
the uhlans and scattered outposts IN
the country districts have committed
outrages. | shall give one story Illus
trating each phase of this situation.
When the Germans reached Com
piegne they found the city almoat
empty of able-bodied men, there being
only women, children and aged per-
Sons. There we're some cases OF pill
lage, but, generally speaking. the in
yaders conducted themselves well.
Two Hours to XIII Himself.
One Saxon, however, billeted on
house where there was defehseless
young woman. began to court her as
siduously. When she resisted his adj
vances he attacked her. She succeed
I'd in escaping and went at once to
complain to the commanding officer
The latter accompanied her to the
house, where he saw the furniture
overturned and every evidence OF
violent struggle. The officer turned
sternly to the soldier and said:
Il give you Just two hours in which
to kill yourself If you ars not dead
In two hours you will be shot"
A barricade had been erected in the
street. The soldier went behind the
barricade, flrsd a revolver bullet into
his own head and was buried without
ceremony that evening.
While in Montdidior went. accom-
panied by a soldier, to interview a
young woman whose parents own a
large farm close to village near
Roye. She is twenty-five years old
and has u sister twenty-four. Her IA
Their is old and bent and her mother is
about Fifty. She has no brothers and
all the man employees are in the
army.
Thus when about . dozen uhlans
came and lodged at the farm there
was no able-bodied man to protect the
women. The uhlans ate and drank
heartily, then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar. where she had
already concealed her two daughters,
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted In
French:
See. here. madame, were there no
woman sdomesties on this farm
Where are they?"
Terrified, the daughters crouched
behind a largs barVei. Seeing only
the mother the ahlan disappeared and
all went away.
Nothing is more remarkable then
the simplicity with which the coun-
try people relate their terrible expe-
riences. They utter no EXPLANATIONS
of horror or dread, and one feels that
they are incapable of inventing the
details. They merely tell what they
have seen or heard in the same quiet
tone with which you might remark
that you had mutton chop for lunch

PLOT TO EMBROIL U. S.
AMBASSADOR BERNSTORFF DE-
MES MEYER-GERHARD is SPY.
Detective Agency Employed by Eng
land to Circulate False Reports,
German Envoy Declares.

Berlin, via London, June 19.-Dr.
Anton Meyer-Gerhard, VINO sailed
from New York June on mission
to the German government from Count
Won Bernstorff, reached Berlin on
Wednesday.
He had a protracted conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow and
Minister Solf of the colonial office.
The report that Dr. Meyer-Gerhard
is in reality DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief
of the supply department of the Ger
man army, was denied authoritatively.
Washington, June 10. - Develop
ments which promise to make the
case a sensation of some Importance
occurred in connection with the
charges that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, for
whom the state department obtained
safe passage to Germany, was in re-
atty DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief of the
supply division If the German army.
The state department received from
the German embassy at Cedarhurst,
L. l., an official denial of the charges,
and a statement from the German am
bassador that the publication of the
charges was likely to operate against
his efforts to bring about a peaceful
settlement of the controversy between
this government and Germany.
In several other instances of late
where publicity was given to charges
against the German ambassador and
members of his staff the view of the
German government now disclosed
for the first time, was that the
charges originated with a detective
agency employed by Germany's enc
mics.
The state department gave out the
following statement:
THE department of state has re-
ceived telegram from the German
counselor, dated June 16. calling at
tention to articles appearing in yes
days papers in regard to an al
legged breach of confidence On the
part of the ambassador in sending a
secret German gun agent to Berlin in
place of Doctor Gerhard, the Red
Cross delegate. In reference to these
articles the ambassador states as fol-
lows:
1T is unnecessary for me to as
sure you that the story circulated by
these articles is untrue from begin
ming to end. 1t contains a personal
attack upon the ambassador and his
delegate, Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, and is
likely at the same time to nullify the
sincere and earnest efforts of the
ambassador to bring about an I'M
derstanding between the United States
and Germany in the Lusitania ques-
ton"

Mound DWelIers.

The name mound jewellers, for want
of a better is given to the prehistoric
and mythical inhabitants of the CEN
trail West, who antedated the Indians.
The mounds, on which the name is
based, were parts of Notifications or
tombs, and their builders are supposed
to have been remote ancestors of the
Indians. One authority says: THE old
theory that the mound builders were a
distinct race of highly civilized agri-
culturists who had lived from remote
antiquity in the regions of the mounds
and were eventually exterminated by
the nomadic hordes coming from the
northward, represented today by the
Indians, is no longer supported by
ethnologists, who hold that the Indians
are their descendants" Where they
came from or how they got here are
matters of speculation.

FRANKS LIFE is SAVED
GOVERNOR SHIFTS DEATH SEN
TENCE TO LIFE TERM.
Prisoner Hurried From Atlanta Jail to
Convict Farm Near MiIledgevilIe
Under Heavy Guard.

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-The sentence
Of Leo NJ. Frank, condemned to die for
the murder of Mary Phagan on Memo
rial day two years ago, was committed
by Gov. John NJ Slaton to life i'm
prisonment.
The prisoner was at once taken out
of the Jail, under guard of Sheriff
Mangum and number of his deputies,
and carried to the Terminal station.
He was placed in a Central of Georgia
train for Milledgeville. where Frank
will at once begin serving a life SEN
tence.
The decision of the governor came
as a complete surprise to many in the
capital of the state. Governor Slaton
reached his decision Sunday morning
and, except for a few of his most con-
hdential friends to whom he confided,
his decision was kept a secret until
early Monday. Feeling all over Geor-
gia was at such high tension that It
was deemed advisable to have the pris-
oner safely landed at the state prison
before giving out the news.
The arrangements for removing
Frank from the Fulton county Jail we're
made with the utmost secrecy. Not
even the newspaper men who were
keeping a close vigil around the Jail
knew when or how the prisoner left
The sheriff with his deputies guarding
the condemned man left the Jail short
ly after ten o'clock Sunday night and
proceeded to the Terminal station,
where tickets were secured and the
party boarded the train which pulled
out two minutes after midnight.
Two policemen and several of the
railroad station employees recognized
Frank, and the news then began to
spread. But before the general pub
lie in Atlanta knew of the action of
the governor or the removal of the
prisoner, Frank was we'll on his way
to the state prison, and the sheriff
and his deputies had returned to their
homes.
The prison farm is two miles north
of Milledgeville. 1t is triple guarded.
The prisoners are kept during the
night in a stone building under strong
guard at all times.
