London, Jan. SO p. m.-Reuter's
Amsterdam correspondent sends the
following
According to a telegram from Ber-
lin tonight's issue of the North Ger
man Gazette published the following
inspired communication.
The archbishop of Malines, Car
dlnal Mercier, issued Christmas
pastoral letter which in addition to
remarks on religious matters, con
tains a series of political statements
which are irreconcliable with the
present state OF occupation. The Ger.
man authorities, therefore, were
obliged to take measures to prevent
further propagation Of the letter.
When the governor general drew
the attention of the cardinal to tho
matter the latter declared verbally
and in writing that his letter was not
in any way meant to be of an melting
nature.
However, as the governor gen

feared the letter would have an incit-
ing effect, Cardinal Mercier did not
insist upon the execution by his
clergy of his directions for continued
reading of the letter from their pull
pits. Before this the governor gen
eral had prohibited the publication
and propagation Of the pastoral lets

and without nervousness or emotion
Jesse b. Coggins, IS, of st. Louis, to-

his deputies the brutal killing Of his

mitted, however that he ransacked
the home after the woman was killed

that he drank Of a bottle of wine,
dressed himself in his fathers
clothes, took two rings from the dead
Woman's fingers and secured all the
money in sight, together with other
articles which he later pawned
Coggins was arrested by deputy
sheriffs in Argenta, just across the
river from Little Rock. this morning
while he was waiting for a negro
whom he had sent to pawn some of
the articles he is alleged to have
taken from his fathers home
According to Coggins alleged state
ment he roamed about st. Louis
avoiding the main streets until We'd
nesday morning, when he left on the
Cotton Belt railroad for Pine Bluff,
Ark. There he visited an uncle who
he says is a minister and who ad
vised him to go further south and en-
list in the army after burning every
thing that would connect him with
the crime
Instead, he came to Little Rock on
Thursday morning. He was staying
at a cheap rooming house. He says
he has purchased copies of every st.
! ouis newspaper published since the
crime was committed so as to read all
the details Of the killing Of his step
mother.
Il knew the minute the officers
touched me that was caught he
said. according to Sheriff Hutton. i
was expecting it any time
Late tonight Sheriff Hutton gave
out what purports to be a written con-
tession by Coggins In substance it
is as follows:
Tuesday Coggins and boy friend
went to his stepmother's home on her
invitation. While at dinner Coggins
blew his nose and was reprimanded
by Mrs. Coggins A quarrel followed
and the woman started toward hlm
with a knife The other boy seized
her and asked Coggins for handker-
chief TO stifle her cries. Coggins
gave the boy his handkerchief and
went outside to see if anyone had
been attracted by the cries. Return
ing. he found the other boy had stran-
gled the woman to death.
Then they ransacked the house at
the other boys dictation he wrote Oh
an envelope the following message:
Thanks very much Meet me in Chi
cago. A number one comet bound y
He said the other boy explained
that this was 'yeggmens lingo and
would make the police believe that

der and robbery They placed the en-
velope in the dead woman's hand

WAR SUM MARY

Except for attacks and counter
attacks on widely separated sec
tions of the battle line there is an
almost complete suspension of
hostilities everywhere so far as
can be gathered from the official
reports. Where there is fighting,
however, it is described as vio-
lent in character.
Near scissors the French as
sert they have taken and are
holding despite counter attacks,
a German redoubt and two lines
OF trenches taken from them by
vigorous onslaughts of the Ger
mans. In AIsace the fighting
continues, and has been the case
tor several days with neither side
having attained superiority
In the east and the west bad
weather and mud are hampering
badly the army, virtually holding
the men in the trenches prison
ers The movement of heavy
guns in the quagmires which
have resulted from the heavy
rains is next to impossible.
Germany reports slight gains
and the capture Of prisoners in
Poland. A repulse of a counter
attack and the taking of 400
prisoners and several machine
guns is credited TO the Austrians
in Viennas official announce
ment.
Petrograd says that the Turks
in trans-Caucasia again have
taken vigorous offensive APP
parently in an endeaVor to relieve
the predicament of the Tenth
army corps which was defeated
several days ago at Sarikamysh.
A newspaper dispatch reports
that Roumania is mobilizing
10000 men and that she will
enter the war even should Italy
decide not to do so. Austria Is

The British house Of lords has

it's brief session Earl Kitchener,
secretary Of war and the govern
ment leader, told the lords that
Great Britains preparations to
carry on the war were proceeding
smoothly
Germany has informed the vati-
can that there is absolutely no
truth in the report that Cardinal
MERCER, primate Of Belgium, had
been arrested or even had been
confined in his palace at Malines.
A Rome newspaper prints an
interview with the Persian MN

a few yards in the vicinity of Rheims,
and were compelled to give ground in
the Argonne as a result Of the Ger
