He willingly consented but as soon as

demanded his valuables. The Under

the stranger alighted, and as he stood
in the road at the side of the car, he
asked Whitehead for his money.

The demand for oiling the country
roads is increasing and there is now
talk Of starting the work next spring.
It is proposed to oil the road from New
Sharon to Oskaloosa. the White Way
from here to Rose Hill. and the road
from Oskaloosa to Cedar, connecting
with the piece already oiled into FIRE.
mont. AS vet no concrete plans have
been formulated but public sentiment
generally is favorable to the project
and it is believed it will go thru. The
experim ent OF oil on the road between
Cedar and Fremont and on the streets
of New Sharon and Fremont has been
very successful. There will certainly
never be harder season on dirt roads
than the past summer has been, and
the trial to which the oiled road and
streets has been submitted has settled
the practicability Of this method Of
treating dirt roads in the minds OF
many.

Petrograd. April 2.--The great Aus tro-German attack on the right flank of the Russian southern army is now developing successfully for the Rus sans Recently. the enemy brought up great quantities Of heavy guns. but the tremendous exchange of long range firing already has established the superiority of the Russian big guns, which are destroying the enc mys transports.
 The Russian infantry is now de- .ploying over a distance of nine or ten miles, and the enemy has been driven back from Gorlice in the direc- ton of Ncusandek, which is a point of crucial importance with a strong bridge over the ice. besides be- ing a junction of the railroad system into Moravia.
 Prisoners arriving in Kieff declare that the kaiser has been with the Austro- German army. He addressed the Saxon corps Saturday in Buko- wina, telling them they must protect Hungary like their own homes, as a Russian victory there would be de- 1 feat fir Germany herself.

GERMANS RELINQUISH HOPE.

Paris. April 22.-An official note issued tonight by the press bureau' declares that the German aggressive in the vicinity of St. Mihiel which was aimed in the beginning at me capture of Verdun, has gradually weakened until finally it has d1sap- peared altogether an dthe possession of St. Mihiel itself is now menaced Dy the French troops. <,
 Since the month of SeptemDer, the note states, violent combats Tn which grenades and bombs played an important part, have taken place III this region. In the marshy brule and the woods of Alley, the troops have fought hand to hand over end- less stretches of ground. Our men faced brave and ardent adversary, inc Bavarian contingent, whose mem bers were rigidly disciplined. and. thanks to the proximity of Metz, well proyisioned. and whose leaders kept repeating to them that the success or their efforts would end in the fall or Verdun.

 "The woods of Alley is about three kilometers (two miles) from the town. To block all progress on our part here and along the northern ridges of the forest of Apremont, the enemy adopted an exceedingly az gressive attitude. In these attacks the Germans employed their crack in- fantry and most effective material.
 "Throughout the winter we sustain ed the impact of the enemy.

ADMITS HE TRIED

Says He Did So Under Misappr+hen. Si0m. and Later AiOnpd by Paving Taxes Turns Back QuestiOner
 at Every Point.
(By James T. 'Montague.)

Syracuse, N. Y., April 2a.-The first assault of the Barnes forces up- on Colonel Roosevelt has been repuls- ed with heavy losses. Colonel Roose- welt was under cross-eNa imitation by William M. Ivens in the Barnes libel suit today. He parried every attempt to show that his past had been one of "abject subservience to Platt." He contended, citing letters as proof, that he had always bucked when Platt tried to throw the harness over him. He showed that even in his political infancy he had outmatched, in craft, the crafty Quigg, late accelerator of public opinion for malefactors of great wealth. and wriggled out of the net Quigg had spread for him.
 Outwits Barnes Lawyer.
 On cross-examination and under the \enemys fire he got matter into the record which his own lawyers had failed to get in.
 And in half dozen explosive sen- tences, fired point-blank at the jury. he pictured himself as possessed of the loftiest principles,th most unas- sailable political integrity and of such righteousness as is seldom found on this side of the Armament.
 Most of the days testimony was based on the letter files of Platt, Quigg and Roosevelt. The purpose of the cross examination was to show that Roosevelt had accepted boss given nomination, and had taken boss given orders like good little politi- cal secretary of state.
 A ch1racteristically oily letter from Quigg, written after Platt had decided to nominate Roosevelt was ready. Ouigg sought to convince the colonel that the shackles were already on to shake them off.
 Roosevelt's reply, also read into the record, insisted that while he was al good organization man, he wasn't go- ing to do what Platt told him to do, unless he thought best.
 The next letter was long one from Platt, written when Roosevelt was governor, and giving him a fatherly lecture on the dangers of his course in passing the franchise tax bill. This, Plstt said, would make capital think that the socialism of Nebraska and Kansas was being levied on New York by the Republican party.
 Tn his reply, Roosevelt hotly de- tended his course. It was the kind ot letter which later he learned to give to the newspapers for use Sun day morning, when there was plenty of room.
 Tried Tax DOdging. The attempt of MT. lvens to show that when Roosevelt was nominated governor of New York he was a resident of Washington failed. The colonel admitted that. he had tried to get out of his New York taxes be- cause they were "excessive." But when he was handed his commission as lieutenant of the rough riders, giving his residence as Wash ington, he cried aloud that he had not known until this norning that this residence was given
 He admitted also that he signed an affidavit in Washington swearing off his personal tax because of non-resl- dence in New York. He said he dld

GERMANY DENIES LIABILITY FOR
 YANKEES DEATH
Thresher Assumed All Risk When He Boarded Falaba,
 Note Declares.

Washington, April 22-Germany has notified the United States of her position in the case of Leon c. Thresher, the American citizen who came to his death when the British steamer Falaba was blown up by a German torpedo in St. Georges channel.
 While the state department de- clined to make public Germany's re- ply, it is understood Germarly holds that Thresher took his life. in his own hands when he took passage on a British steamer in the waters which Germany had declared were dangerous by reason of her subma- rine warfare.
 The United states has made no re- ply. Officials are not prepared to say whether the case of Thresher comes within the terms of Secretary Bryan's statement that the United States would hold Germany to a strict accountability for the death Of American citizens or loss of Amer ican property by reason of the de- struction of vessels in an internatlon- ally illegal manner.
 This government is getting all the evidence it can from survlvors as 10 how the Falaba was destroyed Consul-General Skinner at London and Ambassador Page have sent on patches of testimony from survivors and this government is also getting the evidence submitted at the Brit ish inquest. which is now going on.
 The United States will have the privilege of obtaining the evidence gathered by the German admiralty, but it is stated today that it has net been asked for, and that there Is no present intention of considering It before making the representations to Germany.
