you will overlook a missing arm or
foot now and then and lots of swollen
and bandaged heads and legs in splints
and casts. I have seen worse sights
in hospitals
But here were undeniable signs of
trench warfare that served to bring
things pretty close to one. The soil

The really touching case was that of
a poor fellow whom I all but stepped

a marvel that no one stepped on some
fellow laid out there on the floor.

for the Poilu had lost both legs and

I am glad to say that on this train
there were few men so badly mutt

boys could recall but one in recent
days who was worse oH-and, of
course, that -one had lost both arms

there are really far fewer amputations

The above line was penned by :
British censor upon a letter from an
officer at the from. to his wife. In
which an ingenious code was discov-
cred. 1t meant to disclose to the anx-
ious wife just where her husband was
fighting, but it was spoiled by the
censor and an order was issued by the
war office prohibiting such practices

Thereafter, each time he wrote

third at the point where he was
stationed Upon receiving the letter.
his wife would superimpose 1t on her
map, adjusting the extreme pinholes
over Paris and Brussels, and her hus-
bands wherea bouts would be indicated
by the middle hole.
This is but one of a score of codes
and secret signals discovered by the
censorS recently. England does not
censure the relatives of men at the
front for wanting to know the locality
in which they are fighting and per-
haps dying, but such disclosures be-
came a menace. No one knows how
extensive Germany's espionage sys-
tenn may be, and England is taking 70
chances.

the one pointed out by the censor. with

secret code. Putting her finger on the

1t is improbable that any inforTna-

has ever reached the Germans. but
there is a possibility of such a mis-
chance and England is losing no OPP

CONVICT IN R. I.
PRISON "CONFESSES"
Helped a wealthy Young
Man" Dispose of Body
Latest Story Doubted

Providence, r. l., April ls-Detectiyes
are investigating the story told by Ed
ward G. Glennorris, an inmate of the
Rhode Island state prison, who says that
he helped to bury the body of Dorothy
Arnold. The convict who recently be-
came converted to religion, declares that
the long missing New York society girl
died in private hospital near New
Rochelle and that her body was taken to
a house not far from West Point and
buried in the cellar
Glennorris told his story two weeks
ago to Warden A. j. Davis of the state
prison at Cranston, according to state
ment made by the warden yesterday
When confronted yesterday with the
statements, however, Glennorris denied
having made them.
While Glennorrs tells circumstantial
story, the authorities do not profess to
place much credence in what he says.
Glennorris, who has served six months
of a two-year sentence for attempted ex-
tortion, has also been in Auburn, Sing
Sing, and in the Elmira reformatory.
According to the prisoner, a few
months before the Arnold family in New
York asked the police aid in the search
for the missing girl, Glennorris was APP
preached in Seventh avenue cafe by a
young man who told him that he could
make some easy money"

NO PLACE FOR PAIN

There is no place for rheumatic
pains and misery, if you will only fol
low the advice of an old, experienced
physician. DR.. Levi Minard prescribed
and used Minard's liniment for sore
ness, stiffness, swelling and all rheu-
matte pains.
There is no other remedy that can
take its place. 1t has never failed and
is perfectly harmless, economical,
agreeable and clean to use, as it is
absolutely stainless.
Minard's liniment. obtained from
any druggist, is wonderfully soothing
penetrating and effective in all cases
of strains, lumbago, sore joints, stiff
ness, sciatica and rheumatism.
