Just returned to France via Switzer-
land
After his capture, he says, ne was
taken to Metz. where he was inter
viewed by German Socialist leader
Sudekan. Sudekan tried to work on
the Frenchman by arguing that France
was serving the interests Of England
that separate peace with Germany
would be for her great benefit, ana
that this could be brought about by
The combined efforts of the Socialists
of the two countries, who would issue

The French soldier feigned agreement
with the proposal that he should be Sei

the French, according 20 the latest re-

MeteorolOgist Plans Avia-

Hydro-aeroplsnes are to be used IN
an attempt 10 locate and rescue Vii
hjslmar Stcfansson and the ten mem
bers OF his Arctic exploration party, who
have been missing since their vessel
the karluk, was wrecked near Herald
Island, north Of Siberia. last year. Burt
VI. Mcconnell, meteorologist OF the
party, who is in charge Of the relief
expedition. has sought the cooperation
of the Aero Club Of America.
The governors Of the club have con-
suited with Rear Admiral Robert /.
Peary. and he heartily fayors the plan
He believes that If the men are alive
there is a good chance of hnding them
with the use Of aircraft
In his letter 10 the club Mr. Neon
nell tells OF the failure Of the Cana
dian government TO send an expedition
10 search for his companions. Twelve
OF the party were rescued last Septem
Der from Wrangel Land by the schoon-
er King and Winge. OF the eleven
missing the letter says, in part;
Eight of these men became sepa-
rated from the main p-'ty which left
the wreck Of the Karluk, last Febfu'
arv. The three others went in search
Of land north OF Alaska. J was with
them sixteen days before being sent
back on account Of shortage Of "a
tions and broken sleds.
AT that time Stefansson personally
told me that lie would continue for
fifteen days before turning back. He
thought It quite possible that the tide
winds and current might cary the ice
on which he was travelling near
enough Banks Land to make a dash for
the shore. Since then he has not been
seen.
"Knowing his ability as an ice travel

Germans Guard River.

The Germans are keeping very care
full guard over a possible passage OF
the river above Plock, evidently for
this reason, but the Russian objective
now appears TO lie TO the nortn rather
than 10 the south. Some military eX-
perts. however. still profess 10 expect
p sudden attempt BY the Russians 70

German lines along the rivers west oI
Warsaw.
The chance that Won Hindenburg,
should he abandon his positions on the
Bzura and Rawka. would start flank
movement involving the crossing Of
the lower Nistula. Is not regarded as
probable by army officers here, as the
Austro Germans, for political reasons,
must divert their attention 10 the
southeast. where the Russians are
pressing through the mountains tow
ard Transylyania.
That the Russian advance into
Pennsylvania has met strong opposition
is indicated in the following official
report, issued By the General staff
to-day:
ION the right bank Of the lower Nis-
tula our troops, wilcn are m touch
with the enemy, had small sklrmishes
AZ certain points. In the other sec

BRUMBAUGH FOR
OPTION HEARING
Law and Order Committee Is Form
ally Asked to Set a Date
For All to Speak

Governor Brumbaugh said last night
there would be enough votes in the
House to pass the local option bill on
second reading. He made that state
ment in response to some inquiries in
view of the claims of the liquor peo-
pie that they are going to defeat the
bill on that stage.
The Governor said that it was the
understanding that the Williams bill
would be reported out after the hear
ing on April G. In this connection he
said that he was satisfied with the
way things looked for the bill
Last night the Governor gave out
his letter to Chairman Williams on the
local option hearing. The letter was
as follows
MY dear Mr.. Williams:
II beg to advise you that | have
received q large number of requests
for a public hearing on the local op-
ton bill. Most of the individuals in
terested, some for and some against
the bill, have indicated that 1t would
be in their judgment right that a hear
ing be held on this subject.
"I agree in this judgment, and
would respectfully ask you and your
committee at your next meeting to ar
range TO ra public hearing on the aft
ernoon of April 6, a day which in
equity and justice seems to me to be
fair; and at this hearing all porties
and interests should receive the same
fair and impartial opportunity to pre-
sent what to them seems wise con-
cerning this measure.
"I respectfully request that you
grant this hearing on the date above
indicated, and beg to be
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) m. G.. BRUMBAUGH."

That life itself is one long fight.
