Vienna, by Courier to Berlin. Dec.
wa London, Dec. 10.-It is authorita-
lively stated here that the central
powers have brought no pressure
whatever to bear on Greece. The view
is held that the position of Greece is
difficult in the highest degree and that
the Greek government is endeavorine
to preserve not only neutrality but
complete independence. The position
Is taken here therefore, that pressure
upon Greece is hardly called for and
would even be useless so long as the
Athens government is able TO assert
it's own interests
The interest of the central powers.
1t Is stated, is merely that Greece shall
remain neutral. no more and no less.

EVEN PARADES ARE USED FOR
EDUCATION ON TUBERCULOSIS
BY PHILIP p. JACOBS, Ph. D, Assist.
ant Secretary the National Asse-
citation For the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.

In certain sections of the United
States the Indians have a habit of
catching rattlesnakeS and other vipers
by stealing up softly upon the sleeping
victim while he is summing himself in
the sand, and pinning him down to the
ground with forked stick. While the
struggling snake is held at the neck
with the crotched stick, the man cuts
off the head or rattles and then skins
him.
This custom has suggested a very
apt illusion to the aHti-tuberculosis
rampsign. tuberculosis, the Great
White Plague, is a snake of huge pro-
portions, poisoning hundreds of thou
sands of victims every year and wind
ing his Shiny way into almost every
avenue of life and into nearly every
family in the United States. The or
ganized movement against this disease
may be designated as a great crotched
stick. or. better still, a number OF
forked sticks. each of which is holding
down the Monster by the neck. with
the ultimate hope that some day he
viii be fsyed and cast into the limbo
of many other useless diseases, such
as leprosy, the black plague. yellow
fever. and smallpox.

AR0uSES
FAMILY THREATENED
BY BURNING STABLE

Unconscious Of raging fire within
a short distance of them, the family
of M. S. Howells, tenants on the
James White farm three miles west
of New Paris, owned by DR.. c. w. Con-
nelly of Eaton, slept while the flames
from fire in the barn swept toward
the house. They were awakened by
telephone when William B Reid living
five miles east of the fire saw the
flames and called the family.
The barn and contents is a total
loss. The origin of the fire, discover
ed at 1890 o'clock this morning, is a
mystery and the fire had gained such
headway when help arrived that it
was impossible to find any evidence.
The barn is one of the old fashioned
bank barns built with heavy timbers.
The old wood and the loft of hay and
straw made one of the biggest blazes
remember.
All the live stock and farming i'm
plements we're lost. The live stock in
cluded five COWS, six horses, seven
pigs and one hog. Two cows we're re-
moved from the barn so badly blister
ed that they we're shot
Effort of fire fighters who arrived
too late to save the barn we're directed
towards saving the house which was
in the past of long tongue of flame
famed by the wind. DR.. Connolly, the
owner, carried insurance on the build
ing and contents.

Recent rains have made ideal condi.

are prophesying the early planting of

the majority of farmers are at least
six weeks ahead of time in their spring
work, and little remains to be done in
preparation for corn planting, but the
final narrowing and dragging to pull.

church of Dayton. o. Mrs. Neher's
seven-year-old daughter has been liv-
ing with her parents for some time
Since her husband deserted her Mrs.
Neher has been living at a boarding
house at 214 North Ninth street. She
was taken into custody in her room at
this house.
Father In Tears.
The Rev. Funderberg arrived in this
city this morning, heart broken over
his daughters predicament He was
weeping when he called to see Chief
Goodwin and Prosecutor Keller. He
said he did not know what caused his
daughter to take things which did not
belong to her as she had had Chris
tian training and had never been in
trouble before
He said he did not ask clemency for
her and would accept without protest
what ever disposition the authorities
made of her case. The Rev. Funder-
berg learned for the first time today
that his daughter had been deserted
by her husband. He said she had been
writing him that she was getting along
fine in Richmond and never mentioned
in her letters that she had been having
trouble with her husband.
Secreted in Stocking.
Mrs. Neher said that she smuggled
out stolen articles from the store
where she worked by placing them in
her stockings. Included in the long
list Of things taken by the young wom-
an we're dresses. dress goods corset
covers, underskirts. stockings, shirt
waists. pocket books. toilet articles
and other things too numerous to men,
ton. Most of them were found In her
room.
After admitting her thefts when
taken to her room by the manager OF
the store and Officer Vogelsong Mrs.
Neher sobbed convulsively for a time.
"Why did you take these things"
Officer Vogelsong inquired.
Wants Nice Things.
II wanted to wear nice things like
the other girls" the IS a week sales
give me money and I went to work to
support myself, but didn't have much
to spend on clothes. also took clothes
so that I would have plenty to wear II
ever got out of work"
The manager of the store where the
young woman worked had been trying
for some time to ascertain what en-
ploye had been stealing. Yesterday
the last strip of piece of silk dis
appeared and upon investigation it
was found that Mrs Neher had hand
led it last. '---'--''. -.----
He asked her to leave the store %
some pretext. She accompanied hitD
and he then told her the police were
going to search her room. She said
that was satisfactory to her. After
she had. opened her trunk and two or
three missing articles had been re-
moved she broke down and confessed.
AS the articles stolen were taken by
the girl at various times a grand
larceny charge cannot be preferred
against her as no single article is
valued in excess of $25. She has been
slated on a charge of petit. larceny.

failed to each New Castle. After pass

New Castle, it turned south across the

The fact that the air ship was fired
