Tells of Suicide Pact OF Young Low.
ers in the River.

Pottsville, Pa. April 10.-Hidden in
tin can, submerged in a muddy bank
of Schuykill River, a -water-soaked
note, written in trembling hand, has
apparently solved the mystery which
has enveloped pretty IA year old Hell
en- Hepler, of Cressona, and Clayton
Mengle, of Schuykill Haven. Both
are believed to have been in suicide
pact because their efforts to get mar
ried failed. The note reads:
On, account of circumstances we.
have decided to end our troubles. You
can find our bodies in the river. Sign
ed, C. M. and H. H..
Whether this note was really writ
ten by the lovers, whose tragic end
has stirred the region, or whether
it is the CHASTITY work of joker, will
soon be known. The handwriting is
being compared with that of Mengle
and Miss Hcpler.
Meanwhile, the police state they
have evidence which is likely to lead
to speedy solution of the mystery
of the disappearance of Miss Hepler
and the finding of Mengle's body in
the river.

BLINDED IN WAR
Able Bodied Young MEN in Help
less State

London, April 10-One o fthe deep
est personal tragedies of the war, as
brought home to the British people,
is the long list of young soldiers and
sailors who have lost their eyesight
in the conflict. At st. Dustan's Hos
pital for Blinded Soldiers and Sail
ors there are at present about l2O
students, officers and men, represent
ing Canada, England, Australia, New
Zealand andl Belgium. In addition
there are number of men in an
nexes at Brighton and Torquay whose
wounds thus far have prevented their
taking up work at st. Dunstan's.
Never before in British history
have so many young men who are
otherwise able-bodied been brought to
gether in the helpless state of blind
ness, and the problem of handling
them is entirely different from that
presented in home for people who
have lost their sight through disease
or like causes, and new methods
must be applied to meet the situation.

delegation to the Chicago convention
may be nailed down for Charles E.
Hughes, and that before many days,
it was learned today, if Republican
party leaders friendly to the justice
go forward with plans now under con-
sideration.
What started the movement, accord
ing to report, was the action of few
of Elihu Roots admirers in getting
together in the Union League Club
and setting forth his claims to the
Presidential nomination.
The Root manifesto, it is declared,
is likely to have consequences not
contemplated by its signers.
Hughes Republicans regard the
Root statement as challenge to Re-
publican public opinion that should
not go unanswered.
The Hughes men talk of confer
ence Ol the nalioIldl uc!cSdlcS ituih

the trip to Chicago.
The plans as yet lack completion.
The Hughes men did not know where
the conference would be held or the
exact day of the meeting. 1t might be
in Albany. they thought and prob
ably not later than the first week in
May, or sooner, perhaps.
The Hughes men. as result Of
their, victory IN the State committee
fight on Saturday, are feeling their
oats; they are eager for another test
of strength. confident they can win
again. The Root manifesto is critics.
ed by them as virtual violation Of
the understanding that delegates 10
the national convention were TO go

If permitted to go unchallengcd the
Root statement. it was said, might

of the Republicans of New York on
the Presidential issue.

TO HAVE HIS JAWS CUT LOOSE

Ashland, Ky, April 10. - William
Blanton, aged 25, laborer, has gone
to Louisville, where he will undergo
an operation, Blanton's jaws are
grown together so closely that he is
unable to eat any solid food other
than that which he can force through
his teeth. For over II years nothing
as large as grain Of rice has en-
tered his stomach, yet he has work
ed and supported widowed mother.
A local dentist extracted his II
teeth and raised enough money to pay
his way to Louisville, where he will
be operated on. So far as is known
here, Blanton's aff1iction is the only
one of its kind.

A. J. PAYNE IN RACE
Candidates Can Only Be Selected
From Lists Furnished By Ruling
Bodies of Cities or Counties.

Richmond, April lU.--Altnougn un-
der the provisions of the new game
law there will probably not be more
than 125 local game wardens in the
entire State, more than 600 applica-
tions have already been filed for
those positions with Fish and Game
Commissioner Parsons, with Governor
Stuart and with various other officers
of State who are mistakenly believ-
ed by applicants to have a voice in
the appointment.
More than 500 applications have
been filed with Commissioner Parsons
who, under the law, will be the sole
appointing power. The number in
cludes letters from persons applying
for positions for themselves, and COM
munications indorsing one or more
of the applicants.
A large number of these applica-
tions will never be considered because
they are not made in conformity with
the law. The game law distinctly pro-
vides that the Game Commissioner
shall appoint local wardens from Il
list of ten names supplied to him by
the councils or other governing bod
les of cities, or the boards of super
visors of counties. Not a single one
of the applications already on file
can be considered by Commissioned
Parsons unless the name of such APP
plicant is included in the list of ten
filed with him by the local author
tiles.
MIR. Parson will enter upon his du-
ties as Game Commissioner on July
l, He is required by the new law to
maintain an office in Richmond. APP
plications for appointment us game
wardens will probably not be acted
upon by the commissioner until Aug
ust. The law requires the appoint

county and city. ~In some districts it
will be necessary to appoint addi
tional wardens-at-large. The neces-
sit for additional wardens will in ev-
cry case be determined by the COM
missioner.
In cities and counties having a
population less than 10000 game
wardens will receive salary of not
more than $50 month. In spite of
the modest scale of compensation, it
is estimated that the game warden
machinery of the Safe will cost an
nually in excess of $4,000 in salaries
alone. Under the act, every cent of
this money must come from hunters
license fees. Should the fees fail to
yield a revenue large enough to pay
the running expenses of the new de-
partment, the wardens and other Of
ficers of the same department will
have no claim on the State Treasury
for their salaries.
A. j. Payne is candidate for game
warden for lower Fairfax county. He
has lately filled dHthis position.

PROBLEM OF MAKING PEACE ACE
Shall 1t Be By a Congress or;iSep-
arate Treaties?

D.
Zurich Switzerland, April 'l0-IIow
peace will be made, in a great con-
gress or by separate treaties, is Il
question attracting more and more
attention among international jurists
in both groups Of belligerents;
though, perhaps, more especially in
Germany. There England's determl.
nation Ito prevent the conclusion of
separate peace treaties meets with
the bitterest opposition 4 congress
on the lines of the famous gathering
in Vienna just over a century ago
would, it is argued, be fatal to the
interests of Germany. For the Cen
trial Powers separate peace treaties
are held to be absolutely necessary.
One of the most famous German
authorities on international law,
Privy Councillor Prof. Karl Binding,
who has devoted much attention to
what he calls the Technique Of
Peace and who is firm opponent of
all ideas of peace congresses, says
Germany and her allies would be
hopelesSly outvoted in such delber-
ations. and what the soldiers have
won the diplomatists would lose.
According to the English pro-
posals, all the be!ligerents would
be one side, England France,
Belgium Russia, Italy, Ser
bla, Montenegro and Japan, and on
the other side only Germany, Aus
thia Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey
Eight votes against four. England
would have all the majority on her
side, including the Japanese.
Professor Binding thinks it highly
probable that England would seek tG
smuggle America into the congress
as reward for her benevolent neu-
trality." Naturally the Central Pow
ers would actually make "one more
opponent for them"
He continues:
"lf the English say NO separate
peace the Germans must say Only
separate peace Their plan must be
to make separate peace as quickly as
possible, and they are in a position
to do this. Let them say to the small
states which are already conquered.
to Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro:
Make peace or we will shall not recog-
nIze you as state any more This
means simply annexation and that
these states will have no share in the
peace negotiations.
IF such separate peace is made it
will be absolutely incontestable in in
ternational law in spite Of the objec-
tions of the foe. And if such separate
peace is not reached then the Cen
trail Powers will have fewer enemies
to negotiate with and will decide
themselves over the fate of those
lands and peoples"
Professor Binding argues that Ger
many should take the initiative to.
ward peace, as to do so would be in
no sense sign of weakness, for it is
to her political interest to make n
beginning and frustratc Englands
plans for a congress. Therefore. it is
Germany's duty to bring pressure to
bear at once upon these smaller con-
quered countries to make peace, and
if it fail then they cannot complain
of what befalls them. Germany has
conducted heroic war on four
fronts. and to arrive at a satisfactory
peace is also a heroic work. requir-
ing just as much careful preparation
as for war"
