BLACK DOGS DEMAND
 RANSOM OF $5,OOO
Threaten to Kill Eight Year Old
 Boy if it Is Not Paid

Albany, April 5--A ransom of s5,- 900 has been demanded by the kid nappers of eight-year- -old Billy Clark who has been missing for eleven days. The demand for the money came by mail and completely prostrated the lost boys aunt, Mrs. John Shea, his guardian. The letter read:
 To the Owner: If you need your child he will be returned if you put a price on him for $5,000. If not he will be killed by The Black Dogs.
 T am now sure Billy is alive and is being held for large sum of money" said Mrs. Shea.
 Billy Clark disappeared while wait ing in an afternoon crowd to gain admission to a local moving picture theater. A minute before he had been standing at the side of his aunt. Boy Scouts joined the police in the hunt at once. The woods to the west of the city were secured without sue cess. Police of nearby cities were no- tifed, but nothing was heard of the boy. Scores of reports that he was seen in different places were traced down and the camps of several bands

water rises and inundates part of the town. Just how serious the spring and summer of 1916 is going to be for the German troops is a question that is giving those in command some WOr- ry.
 Towering above the dirty one story shacks, stand three enormous and inn posing church eS-a Russian cathedral, 8 Catholic edifice and a synagogue.
 Of the sixty thousand human beings found in PinSl when the Germans moved in, fifteen thousand were mis- erable refugees from farther west Poles and Jews who had been driven from their homes ahead of the retreat ing Russian armies and then aban doned to the care of the Germans when food became scarce.
 This horde presented a problem that has only partially been solved by sending back westward some thous~ sands of refugees, part to their old homes and part to abandoned farms which they can cultivate and utilize for the time being, and by doing so help to solve the food problem in Po~ land and Russia.

New York, April 5.-A check for ruo ore than s7O,0OO, 900, made by J. P. Morgan & Co.,, and said to be the largest ever drawn, was paid yester- day through the New York Clearing House. The check was drawn on the National Bank of Commerce in con- rection with the $75,o00,000 bond issue of the Canadian government.
 The check will occasion temporary heavy financing among banks. It was said yesterday that no part of the loan had as yet been transferred tc Canada. Until the transfer takes place there should be no disturbance in the money market.

vents any attack of a major nature and because the men on both sides grow restless from inactivity, these hay piles have come to play an inter- esting if unimportant position in the warfare at Pinsk.
 Each time that a frosty night stiff ems up the swamp a bit, both Russian and German sentries make for the piles in an effort to carry off a little hay on the one hand, and to take pot shots at each other on the other hand The Russians thus far have the best of 1t so far as the hay is concerned, for the piles are nearer them, but the Germans claim the record for patrols wiped out or dispersed.
 Whole Street Fortified.
 One of the lines of defense lies in Pinsk itself. One street is one long trench ready for instant occupancy, and the houses that line the streets are barricaded with sand bags and earthwork The street, as we'll as the entire town, is constantly patrolled, and it would be only a, matter of min- utes in case of an attack before the whole section would swarm with men.
 Though the methods of defense to the south and north of Pinsk, and the city itself, vary considerably, the ma chine gun plays an important part everywhere. Every supporting point in the long chain, both in the dunes and in the sWamps, has at least one of these deadly weapons. And so close together are the supporting points that the whole section may be said to consist of d machine gun front.
 Artillery plays probably a less inn portant part in the Pinsk section than anywhere else along any other front. The Russian guns thus far have never been able to reach Pinsk and do any damage All shells fired thus far have fallen short. The Germans on the other hand need their artillery only for defensive purposes since it is only a waste of ammunition to try to destroy Russian positions across the swamp when no follow-up attack with infantry is possible. It is only once in a while, therefore, that the roar of guns is heard Oftener 1t is the ner vous chatter of machine guns firing at 1 Russian scouting patrol.
 The German defence incorporates one feature that is as beautiful and spectacular as it is useful-the fam ing rockets and searchlights that are used on dark nights to Illuminate the swamps in search of approaching forces. It is worth the trip from Der lin to see the vast, dark area sudden ly transformed into a blaze of lights as rockets mount from all of the 1 blockhouses in the rough semi-circle, 1 while powerful lights sweep every inch 1 of ground for miles around
 Pinsk itself is squalid to a degree absolutely unknown in America, or in any of the western European states. With the exception of a few buildings 1 along the Pima waterfront, it's Struc- lures are all one story in height and l of old, tum bledown wooden construc- ton. It's business has from time inn memorial been confined practically ] to the timber which floats down to it on the Pima, the Strumcn and the Jassjolda rivers.

of gypsies who recently passed through Albany were searched, but in vain.
 Letter First News From Boy. |"
 The letter is the only word indi- eating that the boy is still alive. It was immediately turned over to Capt. Lasch, chief of the local detective bureau. With the postal authorities, he is trying to trace the source of the missive.
 The persistence of stories that thv boy was last seen going in the di- rection of the Country club, in the western part of the city. caused the police to renew their search in that section. A camp of foreigners waa visited but all of the occupants pro- fessed ignorance of the boys where abouts.
 The police are inclined to regard the letter as serious, scouting the idea that 1t was written by a prac- tical joker They believe that the supposed kidnappers are not aware that the boys guardians are unable to pay the sum demanded in t he letter. ..%
 At all the local theaters there is shown at each performance a nov ing picture of the boys sister holdir9r his portrait in her hand, with the appeal wont you help me find my lost brother" .a-
 The disappearance of the boy has frightened parents in Albany md many children are being kept in the homes.
