Despondent, Uric
Attempts Suicide

Nimrod Uric, life termer at the
state penitentiary, made all unsuccess-
ful attempt to end his existence at the
prison last evening by taking bichlo-
idc of mercury and a solution OF ny
drochloric acid which he obtained
from the photographs department at
the prison, where he has been assist
ing for couple OF months past At
ter taking the poison Uric repaired to
his quarters, where he was discover
ed by Jim Morton, chauffeur to War
den Dickerson, who occupied t..e
place with him. Morton at once noti-
fied the office and DR.. Maclean was
sent for and he arrived in time to ad-
minister remedies that saved Urie's
life. His compete recovery is only
a matter of few days.
Up to couple OF months ago and
for two years preceding that time
Uric had acted as chauffeur for War
den Dickerson and had performed
this service in creditable manner.
\ few months ago he put in peri
ton for parole before the board OF
pardons and parole, but such cry of
indignation arose in the section III
which he committed his crime and
from Shich he was sent to the pris
that the application was withdrawn.
The opposition to his parole was SO
strong that it probably impressed
Uric with the belief there was no
hope for his ultimate release and this
undoubtedly brought on a despon-
dency that prompted the attempt on

Germans Themselves Do Not Know
How Belgium Will Be Disposed of

lBy Carl w. Ackerman, United
Press staff correspondent
BERLIN, Dec. 3l.--As the 1915
twelve month draws to a close the
German campaign spreads to more
foreign lands: To Turkey and Egypt.
Many enormous battles and cam
paigns in 1915 have decided the war
in certain war theateres.
LII the Russian campaign the Rus
sian army was pushed into Russia.
Serbia has been entirely submerged.
Belgium is occupied. Eight OF
Frances richest provinces, with near
ly three million people, are under
German control.
Germany has lost most of her col
onies and her overseas commerce.
But between the Central Powers and
the Allies there has been no decisive
battle, no deciding campaign.
Both sides await with equal conf
dence and determination this contest.
Whether it will be fought or avoid
cd, no one knows Events will dc
eide. The fate of Belgium depends
upon the outcome. If the war is :,
draw. Be!gium's future will depend
upon the peace terms.
Peace today depends upon the solu-
ton Of the Belgian question. Until
England and Germany come TO al
undcrst anding on BcIium's future
the war will continue. These state
inents have been made so often thai
the United Press asked the. censor to
pass this article TO tel the outside
world what everyone here talks
about.
During the last few weeks two
things became evident. England de.
clarcd that she will not make peac,
until Belgium is evacuated. Germany
is determined that Belgium will not
he given up until Germany is assuret
that il will not be political or mill
iary ally of Great Britains.
For several weeks ! have asket
high officials what Germany is goina
TO do with Belgium. The answer ha,
been that not even the kaiser knows 5
This undoubtedly is true. Muc,
seems to depend upon the futur,
progress OF the war;

''The greatness OF the change 1t ef-

things which are primine1tly set forth

this work Of grace in the heart, the
apostle pronounces the man morally
dead practically worldly, Satanically
ruled, wickedly associated, carnally
debased and perilously situated.
Moral death does not mean insen-
sibfIity, for sinners feel. 1t does not
mean inactivity. for sinners act. In
fact, many of them are more active
than many professed christians. They
are serving the devil a very great
