LOCAL ATTORNEY
WINS IN BIG CASE

Philip D. Beall has returned from
st. Andrews and other points in Bay
county, where he was requested to act
as assistant to Prosecutor Ira Hut
Crimson in the case of the woman,
Mrs. Boyington, who was convicted
after spirited trial of the murder of
Bob Miller. The defendant was later
sentenced to ten years at hard labor
and an alleged accomplice is arrested
and is now under bond to face the
court at the next term.
Mr.. Beall made thorough investi-
cation of the case, and although the
defense was of the strongest nature
possible, he succeeded IN throwing
one surprise after another into the
ranks of the opposition, and convicted
the defendant, but in lesser degree
of crime than was sought to have
been established.

MILTON CORPS
OFF FOR DUTY.
Entrained Last Night, and
Great Crowd Gives Men
God Speed.

Milton, April 15.-Bound for
somewhere in America" the hospital
corps left Milton tonight, ordered into
service
The departure was made on spe-
cial train at 7:30 p. M, and upwards
of two thousand people were at the
depot to see them off. It was an i'm
pressive occasion. The whole town
seemed to be there, and many from
different parts of the country. A
band discoursing patriotic airs lent a
martial note to the occasion, and the
boys shook hands with pretty nearly
everybody. Shortly before the train
left, the Rev. ]. P. Roberts made
a touching prayer.
Neither destination nor probable
time of return are announced. The
boys are gone "for the war;" They
are eager for the future, whatever it
holds.
Other Companies Apply
Applications for the muster-in of
the two other companies which Mil
ton is raising have been forwarded.

GERMANS PUT
TO ROUT;LENS
!: CAPT URED
Patrols Drive Over Rear
Guard Resistance - Ger
mans Sieze Relief Ships.
THOUSANDS OF GUNS
WERE DESERTED
Main Body of Germans Re
treated Before Victori-
Gus Allied Forces.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

British patrols entered Lens be-
tween four and five o'clock this morn
ing, according to dispatch from a
correspondent of Lloyds News with
the British army in France. The cor
respondent said, although the Ger
mans were still in the machine gun
redoubts, they were only rear guards
and the main body had retreated. He
said Lens and LEVIN, also captured
by the British, had been stacked with
guns and at least thousand were in
a net work of mines and pit heads.
Although London officially views
the report that British actually en-
tered Lens as premature, it is an
nounced the civilian population evac-
uated the city and Lens is burning.
1t is definitely said British tonight
are on the outskirts of the city. The
British objective in the Lens adj
vance, however, is evidently to turn
to LaBasse from the South. LaBasse
and Lens form the principle outwork
of Lille, which is a key to the whole
German system in Flanders.
Heavy German attacks were made
today on British along Bapoume-
Cambria road over a front of six
miles. Germans gained q footlfold in
the village of Lagnicourt, southwest
of Queant, position of great strate-
gic Importance. They were driven
out, however, with loss of fifteen
hundred dead and three hundred pris-
oners. What may be an indication of
German retreat northern Belgium
is indicated by the fact that Belgian
troops entered the town of Dixmude
not far from the German second line
and found them unoccupied.
Paris says French aviators account
| ed for twenty-five German filters in
the last three days.

die it on the way to the consumer"
Speaking to middlemen he assert
ed: Eyes of the country will be OF
you This is your opportunity fo
signal service. The country expect
you as it expects all others to foreg,
unusual profits, and to expedite ship

SCENT LILIES HIGH IN AIR.

London, April ia British Off
Ger on duty with the air service in
East Africa includes in one of his
reports graphic description of an
immense valley filled with the huge
"Arum lillies," over which he flew
somewhere in the region of Zanzibar.
As he passed over the valley, ne was
5000 feet high, but the perfume of
the lilies reached his nostrils for a
long distance.
By means of his glasses he OBJ
served that the lily flowers were "as
large as elephants ears" and that
the whole of the valley had been mon
opolized by the beautiful flowrs.
The luxuriance of the vegetation was
particularly remarkable. He learned
later that the scent of the flowers
was so overpowering in the valley
that no native had ever dared to pen
etrata within its borders.
