forced into the war: The extraordi-

imperial German government left VI
no self respecting choice but to take
up arms in defense Of Dur rights as q
free people and Of our honor as q
sovereign government. The military
masters Of Germany denied Ut the

in their own behalf. When they
found that they could not do that
their agents diligently spread sedition
amongst us and sought to draw OUT
own citizens from their allegiance
and some Of those agents were men
connected with the Official embassy
Of the German government itself here
in u W capitol. They sought by
violence to destroy u industries and
arrest u commerce. They tried t.
incite Mexico to take up arms agains,
US and to draw Japan into 4 hostile

from the foreign ONCE in Berlin. The,
impudently denied us the use Of ths

were corrupted. Men began to lool

Seagirt would not lie, I know, but
he is dreadfully careless with the
truth. He said that the horse he
hired to go to GleneIlen last summer
was so slow. that a spider wove its
web in the wheel. Children came and
made mud pies in the shade of the
buggy. At one point he had an ex-
citing race with q caterpillar. A
woman came out and asked him to
please drive q little faster, he was
keeping the sun OFF her tomatoes. He
said the horse was slower than a
barber he knows, who is so slow that
the whiskers grow faster than he can
shave, and by the time he is through
the customer has full beard.

COCCHI FEARS
DEATH IN THE
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Is Willing to Pay the Legal
Penalty in His Own
Country
FRIENDS WILL FIGHT
EXTRACTION TO u. s..
Mrs. Grace Humiston Dis
covers More Evidence of
White Slavery.

Bologna, Italy, June EST feel my
self acquitted morally, but am ready
to undergo the legal penalty OF my
country" Alfredo Cocchi, slayer OF
Ruth Cruger, is quoted as saying to
the interrogating Judge at the last
questioning Of the prisoner.
Cocchi, however, according to re-
liable authority, sent out this message
yesterday to q friend:
II am guilty and want to pay the
penalty. Why spend your money on a
lawyer? won't see him."
There is no doubt that Cocchi has
horror of a sentence to death by the
American electric chair. This abhor-
renee Is shared by all his friends and
they. with the prisoners relatives, are
starting a fund to fight proceedings
for his extradition.
Meanwhile his mental condition is
under consideration.
Il am not prepared to say whether
Cocchi Is insance or q nervous
pervert" said Prof. Augusta Murri,
Italys famous nerve specialist. AL
though he has spoken Of suicide he
hasn't the courage to commit it or to
make, serious effort to escape"
An examination Of CocchIs record
here indicates before he left for
America he was considered an un-
balanced adventurer with anarchistic
tendencies. He quit Italy for the Uni
ted States after becoming bankrupt.
New York, June 2S.-In connection
with the investigation of the methods
by the police in attempting to catch
the slayer of Ruth Cruger Il was said
today evidence of Importance had
been discovered by Mrs. Grace Humis-
ton whose efforts led to the finding
Of the body which bears out her, con-
tention that Alfredo Cocchi. confess
ed murderer, was a member of a
white slave ring operating here and in
1t was learned that the evidence
tended to bear out the story Of Miss
Louise LaRue, who Jumped from her
window recently when she said her
life was threatened by men she ac-
cuss OF being connected with the
white slavers with whom Cocchi
worked.

Diabetes Sufferers Should
Not Cine Up In Despair

Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy has
brought health and happiness to many
who thought themselves beyond aid.
Diabetes is a peculiar and battling
disease which the medical profession
seems to be unable TO accurately de-
scribe and definitely cure despite the
many years OF experimenting and re-
search by foremost physicians through
out the world.
Diabetes is invariably the result Of
impaired nutrition-this results in an
excess Of sugar in the blood and failure
OF the food to nourish, hence gradual
wasting away while eating well.
Symptoms Of the disease are, increas-
ed thirst, excess Of urine, emaciation
and dry skin, often with sweetish odor.
Following are few voluntary words
Of praise from a man who has used
Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy with
gratifying results. Perhaps you may be
benefited in a like manner.
