about twenty-six years old, expensively

the gas fixture above, but the gas was
not turned on. One of the woman's
wrists had been almost severed with
razor. which was found on a window
sill in the parlor. The walls and the
floor of the apartment were spattered
with blood and there was a bucket OF
water with a sponge in it with which
efforts apparently had been made to
wipe up the stain. A complete trous-

expensive underwear were found in a
trunk in the fiat.
The only Identification possible was a
postal card postmarked Decatur. Ill.

Use Sarcasm on France,

In building up hopes for peace an i'm
portant factor appears to have been
overlooked by the Germans-namely.
the intervention of the United States
say appears" for it is certain that
more than one German seems uneasy
on that score. So much young, fresh
and determined force cannot be drop
ped into the scale in vain, and many
are the earlier calculations which will
be upset by the difference in the bal
ance caused by such weight. The
German press ironically attempts to
save the situation. The Frankfurter
Zeitung writes:
THE news of the arrival of American
troops in France is a clear indication Of
the gravity of the French situation
The French intend to content them
selves with seeing foreign troops win
a French victory on it's soil A writer
in the Petit Parisien even believes tina,
the Americans can be intrusted with
the military side of the war; that the
French army can be disbanded in order
that all national forces may be devoted

Lokal Anzeiger writes of Berlin:
I'VE are coming to period when the
question of food will be difficult to
solve. We may hope. however. that
before long. when vegetables are more
abundant, there will be sensible i'm
provement in the situation as regards
food. During the coming weeks. un-
fortunately. potatoes will be scarcer
than formerly. We shall try to rem
edy as much as possible the lack of
certain commodities by distributing
macaroni and bread. During the COM
ing weeks the municipal kitchens will
distribute meals less substantial"
Without a doubt the central powers
are making preparations to sustain the
war for two or three years longer. and
it would be imprudent to swear that
this is beyond their force Since 1t
went to war Germany leased a num-
ber of buildings for three years in Bern
and has just renewed its lease. which
had expired, for a further period of
three years. A hundred other signs in

German people. who are undergoing
terrible suffering, are not content with
the present state of affairs and do not
conceal their lassitude. A tonic press
strives to raise their spirits. but symp-
toms of lmpatience grow more numer-

I'VE shall have to content ourselves
with the best possible peace" the more
reasonable inhabitants of the father
land are beginning to say. Com man :

The end of the war this autumn Is

for annexations is legitimate. but such

losses, 1t fs true, have been great. but II
must not be forgotten that an enormous
number Of the wounded recover and re-
turn to the front.
The Germans discount the fatigue and
discomfort of people less docile than
they: they also discount the severity OF
the coming winter. the aggravation OF the
coal and food crisis and other disturb
ances. German submarines, 1t is believed
in the fatherland, will continue their i'm
placable destruction of hostile vessels;
German armies, enlarged by contingents
from the eastern front, will Withstand,
they say, the most furious shocks for
a year or two more, until the time when
the enemy is exhausted And Germany

await this distant solution; that the hor-

three years will impose itself with ever

it to a rapid end; all will understand
that 1t is madness to increase the num-
