High School Mothers.

The approach of spring and the
closing of school often tends to
decrease the enthusiasm and zeal of

BETTER BABIES

The crusade for better babies has
spread from coast to coast, and taken
firm hold of American Mothers. Few
women realize how much the i'll
health of the mother influences the
unborn child, both physically and
mentally. Women who suffer from
mysterious pains, backache, nervous
ness. mental depression, headaches,
etc, should rely on Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, which for near.
ly forty years has been the standard
remedy for these ailments.

ROCK ON MINERS
Three Dead, Two Injured, in
Joplin Lead Works.
Many Barely Escape When
1OO,OOO-POund Slab Falls.

Joplin, Mo-, June 16.-Three men
were killed. one was seriously injured,
another was slightly injured and a
dozen others had hair-breadth escapes
this morning when a slab of rock
weighing approximately 100000
pounds fell from the wall of a drift
in the Little Martha Mining and Mil
ling Company's mine. The mine is on
twenty-siX acre lease of the Pitts
burg-Joplin Lead and Zinc company's S
ground at Chitwood. The dead:
ED RICHARDSON. 32 years old;
CHARLES r. FRANKLIN, As; mar
ried
- PICKETT, 80; single.
The injured:
o. Mansil, internal injuries; may
prove fatal
j. Garrison, slight bruises.
The bodies of Richardson and
Franklin were uncovered by rescuers.
Pickeets body has not been un-
covered.
In the bodies of the two men first
taken from beneath the mass of rock
virtually every bone was broken and
the flesh was terribly mangled.
w. Chance, a shoveler, working near
Franklin, leaped to one side when the
slab fell, but bits of rock tore his
trousers from his legs. Despite his
narrow escape, he went heroically
back into the ground to help uncover
the bodies of his less fortunate fell
low-workers.
The men were working in a drift

IT'S ALL A DREAM
Robertson Denies He Will Be
GubernatOrial Candidate.
Brands "IrOn Jaw" Browns
Predictions "AH MOOnshine."

That he will be a Democratic can
didate for governor in 1916, as pre-
dicted by Major w. L. Iron Jaw
Brown, was denied today by Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney. Tuesday evening Brown
caused a considerable stir at the state
house when he drifted into state of
fees and calmly announced that
George H Hodges, ex-governor
would oppose William Howard
Thompson in 1918 and that Robert
son had his eye on the gubernatorial
chair for the next term.
Il find" remarked Mr.. Robertson
dryly, this morning, in speaking of
the cash that Brown had made in
next years political situation, that I
have not been consulted in this mat
ter at all. Talk of my running for
governor is all moonshine. There is
just as much chance of my jumping
into that political puddle as there is
for me to start Doc Cook expedition
for the North pole. Anyway officials
in the government department of JUS
tice are supposed to be holding down
their jobs and not running for office"

Petrograd Admits Invasion by Aus

Austrian troops have invaded the Rus

Between the Dniester and the

yond the Russian frontier, followed
by the enemy" said the official state
ment.
The same report sets forth that
fresh German forces, brought up near
Jaroslau, under cover of heavy artil-
lery fire, compelled the Russians to
retire for some distance on the bank
of the River San, after three days of
desperate fighting On the remainder
of the eastern front the Russians ap-
parentIy are contenting themselves
with repel1ing the attacks of the
enemy, excepting on the left banks of
the Tismenitza and Stry rivers, where
they claim to have taken numerous
prisoners and machine guns and to
have recaptured villages wreSted from
them by the AuStrians.

TO LET U. S. COOL
Berlin in No Hurry to Reply to
Submarine Note.
Washington Sees Delay to Let
"Frenzy" Pass.
BY BOND p. GEDDIS.

Washington, June 16.-Germany
and the United States are to be given
a cooling off, period over the Lusi-
tania disaster. This is the construc-
ton placed in official quarters today
upon reports from Berlin that consid-
erable time probably would elapse be-
fore Germany's second reply in the
submarine warfare negotiations would
be forwarded.
May Delay Month or More
From authoritative sources it was
learned today that the ten days or
two weeks originally accepted by the
administration before the German
reply's arrival, would likely stretch
into three weeks and possibly even
longer. An indication that the presi-
dent himself does not expect a quick
response from Germany was his plan
to leave here for a vacation at Cor
nish, N. H, much sooner than
planned. The president now hopes to
start by the middle of next week for
the summer capital to remain over
July 4.
Letting Storm Blow Over.
Germany's delay, it is believed, is
based on reports from the United
States that public indignation over the
sinking of the LuSitania has passed
the danger point" and that the Amer
lean people are confident of a peaceful
outcome and satisfied with the diplo-
matte course taken.

Bryan Predicts Demand for
International Conference
To Change Rules of War to
Protect NeutraIS.
NOW MADE FOR WARRIORS
Each Side Feels Justified in
Abusing NOncOmbatants.
Former Secretary in Statement
on "CauSelesS War;"

Washington, June 16.-Former Sec
retary Bryan, in the first section of
his statement on ''The Causeless War. -
today prophesied that the greatest
peace making opportunity in all his
tory was certain to come to the Unit
ed States, and declared there would be
a demand fer an international confer
ence with the return of peace, to
change the rules of international law,
which seem 20 have been made for
the nations at war, rather than for
the nations at peace"
Under the stress and strain of the
titanic struggle in which they are en-
gagged" Mr.. Bryan's statement says,
each side has felt itself justified in
encroaching upon the rights of neu-
trails. The ocean highways, the COM
mon property of all, have been to
some extent appropriated for war pur-
poses and delicate diplomatic ques-
tions are forced on the neutral ma
tionS.
Hard to Deal With BelliSerentS.
Just at this time, when these ques-
tions are most acute, the belligerent
governments are least able to deal
with them with the calmness and poise
which their great importance de-
mands. No wonder every neutral ma
ton is increasingly anxious for the
war to end; but of all the neutral
nations, ours has the most reason to
pray for the return OF peace-most
reason to set its face resolutely against

Last Nights Attack Takes Toll
of NOncOmbatants.

Censor Curbs Reports From

Many Fires Started, but Are De-

ship visited the northeast coast OF
England last evening and dropped
bombs.
Fifteen deaths are reported and fif-
teen persons were wounded.
Many fires were started by the pro-
jectileS from the Zeppelin, but by this
morning they had been overcome.
This information was contained in
an official announcement made in Lon
don today.
The above dispatch was transmitted
under the Strictest censorship. Private
adviceS on the recent Zeppelin raids
on the south and southeast coast of
England and on London suburbs in
dicated greater loss of life and greater
property damage than was permitted
by the censor to be made known
through regular news channels.
Last nights raid it is known caused
the heaviest loss of life among non
combatants from such attacks.
Retaliation Is Indicated.
Beginning with the German raid
on the municipal area of London, May
81, in which four persons were killed
the last sixteen days have brought out
reports of number of aerial attacks
by both sides, all of which indicate a
determination to force the fighting
one side has been followed so closely
by a counter attack from the other,
although on a different locality, that
retaliation is strongly indicated. For
instance, yesterday morning twenty
three aeroplanes delivered an attack
upon the German city of Karlsruhe,
killing nineteen persons and wounding
fourteen, and inflicting material dam
age. The raid on England mentioned
in the foregoing dispatch follows this
onslaught, within twenty-four hours.
Notable Aerial Engagements.
The most important aerial engage
ments of the last two weeks, over
the continent and England are as
follows:
Aeroplanes of the allies attacked
the headquarters of the German
crown prince June 8, and two days
later a German aeroplane dropped
explosive bombs on the French sea-
port of Calais. On June a Zeppelin
airship visited the east coast of Eng
land and killed five persons before it
sailed away. 1t was on the 7th of
June that Warneford, the young Ca
madam aviator, destroyed a German
Zeppelin in an air duel over Belgium.
From his aeroplane he wrecked the
dirigible and caused the death of her
crew.
On June 8, Client was badly dam
aged by a British raider, and the fol-
lowing day Venice was bombarded
by an Austrian aeroplane On the
18th of June Austrian aviators bonn
barded towns on the Italian frontier
and two days later British airmen
attacked the German dirigible sheds

TURNER LEFT TO FATE
Booth Knows of No Official Warning
Given Lusitania Patrons.

London, June 16.-The inquiry into
the sinking of the steamship Lusitania
was resumed today, with the testim ony
of Alfred Booth, chairman of the
board of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany The attorney general, Sir Ed
ward Carson, questioned Mr.. Booth.
Asked whether there was any diff
ference between Is knots, the speed
at which the Lusitania was proceeding
when attacked, and 21 knots, Mr..
Booth said no steamer making more
than IA knots was known to have
been struck by torpedo from a sub
marine. until the Lusitania was hit.
He said that all he knew relative to
warnings issued to intending pasSen-
gers was what he had read in Eng
lish newspapers, having received no
dispatch on the subject from the New
York office. Mr.. Booth was cross
examined by an attorney representing
survivors as to whether the company
took any steps to prevent the Lusitania
from doing what she did do; namely,
entering the war zone on schedule.
The witness replied he did not know
what schedule time meant, but Cap
tain Turner had been given entire dis
cretion.
