ITALIANS HOLDING
INVADERS BACK
HEAVY ARTILLERY AND QUICK
FlRERs USED WITH DEADLY
EFFECT ON TAGLIAMENTO.
Aid Being Rushed to Fighting Italians
by Ensland and France in an
Endea /or to Turn Back Ad-
vancing Hun Hordes.

LondOn.-Great Britain and France
are rushing to the aid of Italy in her
critical hour. Not alone have men and
guns been sent to tie battlefront along
the Tagliamento river, where the Ital-
ians are holding the Teutonic invaders
at bay, but the war brains of Great
Britain and France are on their way to
Italy to consult with the Italian
leaders.
Premier Lloyd George and General
Sir William r. Robertson, chief of the
imperial staff at British army head
quarters, are the leaders of the British
delegation, while Premier Painleve is
the chief representative of the French
mission. No details of the plans of the
Joint mission have been announced,
but undoubtedly the purpose is to give
Italy what she requires in the way OF
material for an intensive conduct OF
the war and also to assure her of
great reinforcement in man-power,
guns and ammunition.
Meanwhile, General CadOrna's forces
are holding the invaders along the
by means of their neaVy
and quick frers. All along
the front Italian aviators are dropping
bombs on enemy ammunition depots
and troop formations.
What for the moment would indi-
cate further menace to the Italians is
an offensive begun by the enemy in the
Trentino region, in the zone of the

An Animal That Initiates Fruit

An animal which the Finpinos call
caguan Is one Of the most curious
mammals that exist, offering at the
same time the characteristics of mon
key and bat. 1t hangs from a branch
downward. its four feet together and
Its head between its paws. In this DO
sition 1t is never disturbed by birds or
beasts or prey, for 1t resembles some
unpaiatable fruit of great size. of
which there are many examples in the
tropical woods The caguan harmo-
nizes so well with the bark Of the tree
on which 1t seeks its roost that 1t feels
practically certain that 1t will not be
molested.

She drank the drug from a bromo self
ger bottle which, it was alleged, Moli-
neaux had meant for Harry Cornish,

HOUSE CENTIPEDE NEW PET
Children and Is Declared to Be-
Death on Bugs.

A family thinks 1t has modified its
home protective forces to the full when
1t has set up q watchdog, a cat,
canary, a rubber plant, war garden
and a fly swatter. These are all very
well as far as they go, says the New
York Tribune, but the world has been,
moving swiftly. and the most progress
sive and efficient households now have
added the house entipede-vulgarly
called the acknowledged worm
to their forces. We learn from a re-
cent monograph on insects that:
San examination Of the head Of the
centipede will reveal pair Of strong
jaws that are used against enemies
and for the purpose of capturing small
insects for food. 1t considers the fly
great delicacy, and, besides this, 1t
eats f1eas, mosquitoes, moths, reaches
and other small household pests. 1t
hunts its food mostly at night. The
house centipede has seldom been
known to bite person, and If, in self
defense, 1t should pinch the baby's
finger or toe, the swelling produced, If
any, could quickly be alleviated by an
application of ammonia"
In the light of these recommended
lions who can afford to be without
one Of these admirable beasts? 1t Is
noiseiess, Of excellent though noctur-
nal habits-a night Waterman, as it
were-and Its upkeep cost is practi-
raIly nothing. In the event that it
lids the house completely Of all the
pests particularly the
and others"-the grateful household
n should be willing to pension it on
'mall bits Of meat or whatever its
ystem Graves. 1t should be taken In
o the family and given a pet name.

MUST PAY ALL COSTS
Co. Jail Prisoners Can't Compromise
With Law in Future.

The county commissioners made an
announcement today that will bring
tears to the eyes of the professional
Jail breakers-the fellows who are al
ways breaking into the Shawnee coun-
ty Jail. The commissioners announced
that from now on every man or woman
convicted~by Robert Carver, county at
torney. and sentenced to the county
jail, will be held in Jail until every
cent of the costs is paid.
That is not the way things have been
going and there would be a lot of fell
lows in Jail who are out, if they had
to make good their costs. Jack Hum
ason. for instance, owed costs to the
amount of $3.50 and he had only SIS,
SO the county commissioners accepted
it. Today came Ed Davis. by his at
torney, offering the olive branch in
the form of SIS cash for $3.50 worth of
costs, and the county took it. But
that was the last. The commissioners
were in session when the Davis matter
was agreed upon and it was agreed
then and there that hereafter every
cent of costs must be paid.

NO POWDER MARKS
Defense in Ard Trial Shows That Shot
Was Not Fired Near.

lola, Kan, May 18.-No powder
marks or burns were found around the
bullet wound which caused the death
of Mrs. Viola Ard, according to the
testimony of Moody RaIston, the I'M
dertaker, who was one of the defense
witnesses today in the trial of Roy
Ard, the woman's husband, who Is
charged with the murder.
Ard was in the back seat of the
motor car in which his wife was rid
ing when killed, according to the testi-
mony, and the defense was endeavor-
ing to show that he was too near to
have fired the shot.
Demonstrations with the revolver
with Which Ard is accused of having
shot his wife, further substantiate the
claim of the defense that the death
missile was fired from without the
car.
The fur coat Mrs. Ard wore the night
she was shot was placed upon frame.
1t was fired into with a 32-caliber re-
voIver from various ranges With the
barrel against the garment the coat
ignited, from points farther away holes
identical with that made by the death
bullet were made. Neither Mrs. Ards
coat or flesh was burned, as the de-
Tense claims would have been the case
had the shot been fired from the pd5l-
ton occupied by Roy Ard.

DR.. WAITE is SANE
Commissions Report. May Mean Death
Sentence to Dentist.

Albany, May 18.-Dr. Arthur War
rem Waite, the young New York den
fist under sentence to die next week
for the murder of his father-in-law,
John Peck, of Grand Rapids, Mich,
has been declared sane by commits
sion of alienists appointed by Governor
Whitman, it was announced today.
The aIienists found that Doctor Waite
was sane both at the time the crime
was committed in March, 1915, and
on Nav IA, 1917, when the examina-
tion was made. The ret-rn of this re-
port means that the death sentence
must be carried out unless legal steps
intervene or Governor Whitman exer-
cises executive clemency.
Besides confessing that he poisoned
his father-in-law, Waite also admitted
he had poisoned his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Peck, and contemplated killing
his wife in order that he might obtain
her share of the Peck estate.
