innocent little baby as one OF the
leading characters. What harm
small town gossip can work. togeth

a distorted view OF family pride.
Kept entirely sloof from the neigh

 PUZZLES LANSING
INQUIRY WAS SENT TUESDAY
Feared by the Administration that Germany will Not Reply to Note. Forcing Initiative Upon the United State~-Oficisls are Uneasy.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 1.-- The failure of Germany to reply to the official note of Secretary Lansing in regard to the alleged torpedoing of the chanenl steamer Sussex, in vi01 lation of international law, is caus! ing the administration much uneasi- ness, as it is feared that Germany will refuse to answer the direct Ques- tion propount.-.~ uy Secretary Lam sing, as to whether or not German submarine sunk the .ussex, thus plac- upon the United States.
 Cnl.lals admit that the situation is very grave. and fear break in diplomatic relations with .nany. in which case war might be declared by the Teutons upon the United States. It is conceded by officials closely con nected with President Wilson, that Germany has nothing to lose by breaking off negotiations with the United States, and that in such event. she would be left free to sink every vessel clearing for English ports. but it is hoped that a crises may be avert ed by a disavowal on the part of Ger many of the sinking
 It is reported here this morning that in case a reply is not reply to- day, that a second and sharper note will be delivered to Ambassador demanding complete disavowal of the sinking of the Sus- sex and punishing the commander of the submarine.

INVESTIGATION IS
 STARTED 0N WRECK COMMISSION PROBES CAUSES Authorities Are Trying to Find Out
 Who Is Responsible for Three
 Wracks and Loss of Seventeen
 Lives When Trains Collide in Fog.

CLEVELAND, O., April. IA (ComMissiop is endeavoring to fix the responsibility for the wreck on the New York Central railroad Wedpes- Eday, near Amherst, in which thirty passengers were killed and seventy injured.
 1t has been ascertained by the Commission that the wreck was caus- ed to the first train by 8 towerman falling asleep at his post, and fail ling to set the. signals for the east bound flyer. The man had been sit ting up for several nights with his wife. who was ill. and was worn out for want of sleep and worry.
 At the time dense fog covered the tracks and the engineer, supposed he was in the clear, dashed into a freight train which was standing on the right of way. ~. Before the trainmen could recover from the shock and send out flag man to stop the westbound train, it dashed into the wreck at speed of sixty. miles an hour, teleseoping the heavy sleepers filled with passengers, and completely denolishing the en- tire train.
 The Commission has severely cen- sured the railroad company for fore ing P man to go on.duty who had been without sleep for ,54 hours. ""
 It is expected that many arrests of officials will follow their findings.

CAPT. IAUSCHER HELD AS SPY

Charged with Being a German Spy, and Also with COnspil.ing to Blow Up the Welland Canal OH the Canadian Side of the Border.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Captain Tauscher, husband of Mdme. Gadski, the famous opera singer, was arrest ed here today on charge of con- spiracy.
 Captain Tauscher is said to be an officer in the German navy, and is charged with being a spy for his country in the United States, and also it is alleged, was instrumental in working up conspiracy to blow up the Welland Canal, connecting Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, on the Cana dian side, for the purpose of hinder ing the shipment of supplies and foodstuffs to the Allied armies.
 Two other persons were taken into custody with Tauscher. It is believ- ed that these men were implicated by yon der Golz iu his recent confession.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April l.--- Pandemonium ensued in the High Schools of this city this morning, when the news of Gen. Dodd's rout of Villas outlaw band was read to the pupils in assembly.
 For fifteen minutes the pupils wild ly cheered the United States army. and waved flags and pounded on the floor with chairs and canes.
 For a few minutes the teachers feared they would have to send in a riot call. so exuberent did the pupils become. After a half hours inter- mission. during which the scholars sang patriotic airs and gave their college yells, studies were resumed. It is safe to say that no more bulle- tins will be read in assembly, as the teachers claim their nerves were shat tered by the hideous din created at the news of Villas defeat.

QUARTER MILLION
 MEN AVAILABLE ALI HAD PREVIOUS TRAINING Secretary of War States that in Gave Administration So Desires He Can Gather Large Army Skilled in Tac- tics and Drilled for War.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April l. Secretary Baker of the War Depart ment, who has been conducting an ili- |vestisatfcn as to the number of men the government could muster in who have had previous military training. has reported to the administration that in case of need, 125.oO0 men are available on short notice.
 The secretary's investigations have assured him that a quarter of mil lion we'll trained men can be secured from the colleges, academies. ex-sc1- |diers and militiamen.
 Steps will be taken to ascertain how many of these men have held rank in previous service, and it is possible that they may be persuaded to be placed upon reserve list, ready to serve if needed.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-01

It is reported that the enemy charged in such force that nothing could withstand them, and although the French fought gallantly to hold their trenches they were driven out, after a desperate hand-to-hand fight lasting for three hours.
 The loss of Malancourt. an impor- tant strategic position commanding two highways which intersect three important French positions. has cast a shadow of gloom over the city, and it is feared that this important vic tory will render the French trenches unteDable.
 The Germans have already cleared the country to the east and the west of the village, and the French army will be forced to form a new battle line or fall back to Yerdun.
 It is estimated that the losses of the two armies amounted to nearly a half million men since the attack be- gun early in the weeh.
