y STATE Prizes INTO ORPEI'S 7 RIP
TO WOODS WITH MARIAN
Waukegan, H., June 27.-Win Or
pets upruffled calm of yesterday in
telling the story of Marion Lambert's
death in the snow of Helms woods
was shattered today under prose-
CUtOT JOslyn's meTciless cross exam
inatiOn.
1t was evident from the start that
JOslyn intended to bring out the
manner in which OTpet first per-
suaded the girl to surrender her in
nOcenCe to him.
Orpet testified that he had rela-
tons with the girl only once-in
Helms woods during an automo-
bile trip.
Did you use both hands in driv-
ing the aUtO?" JOslyn asked.
81 don't know" answered OTpet.
do a little guessing" ordered
Joslyn?" Couldn't you have driven
with one arm around Mariana"
81 guess I used both hands in dTiv-
ing" replied Orpet.
What happened them"
q think I suggested going into the
wOds," Orpet answered, and think
she agreed. That was the only time
I had intimate relations with her"
Orpet said his love for Marion had
always been pure before that He said
he didn't believe the elimination Of
the romance impure, although he ad-
mitted that perhaps" his feelings
changed after that visit to the woods.
He admitted he had tried to force
himself on her one day in August at
her home. He said their affection
was spontaneous.
Did you ever have any regrets?"
q was very busy" replied Orpet,
you were willing to take Marion's
virtue; your love for her was pure
that night?"
OTDet said he didn't believe their

he offered Marion as medicine" to
remedy her alleged condition. He
said he had previously given her such
a solution and she had seemed re-
Iieved after she took it, so he was
trying the same thing again.
After telling of his refusal to have
anything more to do with her, he
said he started away and she called
him back and asked him if he was
going to write to her any more. He
answered he. would not Then he
walked away again and some in
stinCt made him turn back.
'She had two commissions while
was there. After each CONFUSION I
remember a discharge from her nose.
I remember my expression then was:
Marion, who have you done?' There
was no answer, of course, and very
shortly after she was dead"
TOUGH LUCK, MEN! YOU CAN'T
FIGHT IN DRESS SUITS
The government has refused to ac-
cept an aTmored motor car as a gift
from rich members of the University,
Casino, Onwentsia and other fancy
clubs to Battery G.
Isn't it sad? Only few days ago
the government turned down the
scheme of Og Armour, Ed and Nels
Morris and other stay-at-hOme pat
riots to furnish $25, worth of ma
chine guns for Illinois guardsmen.
If Uncle Sam continues refusing
donations of pennies from Chicago's
wealthy he will put the rich boys in
a position where they will have to en-
list as soldiers to show their patriot
ism, instead of buying their way to
glory with the gift Of gOld-plated
bUgle, self-staTting war car or newly
patented field kitchenette.

sinners and unbelievers, are insepara-
bly, joined together.
What matter of thanksgiving it is
to have a mind so enlightened as to
understand Gods miracles Of mercy
in the life, death and glory of His
Son, and to believe In them without
a single misgiving: Giving thanks
to God the Father, Who hath made
us worthy to the partakers of
the saints in light" (Col. j, 12). Cardi.
nal Newman speaks of 'the dismay
and disgust which / felt in conse
quence of the first dreadful misgiying'
that Anglicanism was not any part oil
Gods true Church. But after he had
become a Catholic, indeed many years
afterwards, he speaks of'~the peace
and joy in the Holy ,qhosh that had
been continuously granted him with
the true faith; 81 have had perfect
peace and contentment. I never have
had one doubt /. 1t was like com
ing into port after a rough sea; and
my happiness on that score remains
to this day without Interruption
(Apologia, Part VlD.
So says every convert. 1t is not sc
much that he has gained peace and
possesses it, but rather that peace has
gained him and taken possession OF
him, peace surprising all understand
ing and overlooking all measure Of
Joy.

words of. the missionary pierced the
darkness Of their souls, and the King
was baptized, with Of his SUBJ

to multitudes, and baptizing thousands
in the beautiful rivers of Yorkshire
whilst Edwin and Ethelburga labored
D" his side. At the end of six years
AN invasion of the heather, in which
Edwin was killed, forced Paulinus to
retire again. with the widowed Ethel

folly and, going forth, he cast a spear

 Diplomats of the allied countries re- ceived information during the day indi- eating that the Deutschland was con- voyed from Bremen almost to the Ches- apeake capes by neutral merchantmen, presumably Norwegian, Swedish or Dutch which aided in shielding her from detection by enemy warships and also acted as a tender This information may be communicated later to the state de- partment and investigation requested. Allied warships are said now to be searching for the convoy ship.
 The state department already has be- gun consideration of questions involving departure of the Deutschland To pre- vent violation of neutrality by forward ing of military information from this country regarding the Deutschland's s movements, officials are considering whether the government should prevent dissemination of news of her sailing.
 The state department today formally denied published reports that it would not be concerned if the Deutschland should be attacked and sank in violation of international law by hostile warships after leaving the United States. It was stated that this government is interested in all matters affecting conduct of war and methods of reprisals by any of the belligerents, even though no American citizens should be immediately involved
 Interest in reports that other German merchant submarines may visit the United States was indicated by a dispatch sent by the department today to the American consul at Bremen, inquiring why he did not confidentially advise the Washing ton government of the sailing of the Deutschland.

Berlin, July 12.-(Via London. )-'The Austro- German retirement from the Czartorysk salient. just south of the Pinsk swamps, having been completed, the opposing armies have come to grips all along the line of the stokhod river, where General Won Linsingen has elected to stand and cover the ap- proach to Kovel.
 Heavy fighting is already in progress along the Stokhod. but apparently it is merely an earnest of what may be expected in the persistent and desper- ate campaign of the Russian com- mander. General Brussiloff, to reach this important railway Junction re- gardless of losses.
 The retirement according to advices from Austrian headauarters, was for strategic purposes and the achieve ment is considered one of high degree. The Russians had worked well around the Hanks of the old position and if material and units were to be saved the retirement over an almost roadless country had to be effected at a good pace. At it was. the Austro German forces barely reached the positions be- hind the Sto6hod before the Russians were hammering at the crossings.
 COiAipoI elllNS Qulel pIGNdllS dlOnS the rest of the eastern front. The Rus- sian request for a short armistice in order to bury the dead at Baranovichi was granted and heavy fighting has not vet been resumed
 Battling of the most desperate na- ture is going on along the front in Picardy, but the only news available here is that contained in the German official bulletins.
