Hears Freight TOOT;
"TRUSTY" QUITS CELL
But Meets Hard Luck. Gets "Plucked.'
and Now Is Back in Prison.

|CBy the International News Service.D
Joliet Ill, Feb. 10.-George DAD Mears,
life prisoner, is back in his cell at the State
prison today, bereft of the favors and
privileges of a trusty which have been
his during the largest portion of the
twenty-five years he has been behind the
bars
For Dad, hero OF a recent prison fire
and recommended to the pardon board
for a parole, has been brought back from
Chicago in disgrace. He took French
leave a couple of nights ago, and, with
800 which he had saved up from his
meager earnings in prison, returned to
the world from which he, so long had
been excluded.
With part of the money he bought new
clothes; a pickpocket took the rest. Then
d new-made friend" suspicious OF the
old mans fear of automobiles and street
cars wormed his secret from. him and
burned him up to the police"
Il heard a freight train whistle one
night and It reminded me of the out
side" said Dad as they brought him
back. Il wanted to live in freedom and
" here people would leave me alone. Now
Il I am back, but it won't be for long.
Every dog has his day. and 1 guess this
was mine"
On the way back Dad gave his new
overcoat to a shivering tramp.
"I'll never need outside overcoats
again." he said sadly.

FRENCH TO GUST
ARMY MEN Who
MEET FAILURE

PARIS. July 9.-Announcement Of
the ousting OF General NivelIe. French
commander-in-chief during the often
sive OF April is. was accepted today
as the first step in a general army re-
Organization along the line of strict
est efficiency.
Removal OF General NiveIIe was
made public coincidentIy with the an.
nouncement that in future all mill
tary failures, on land or sea, are to be
Investigated by court-martiaL
These decisions were transmitted to
the Chamber OF Deputies by Minister
of War Painleve after a week OF Sc
cret session, called as the result Of
insistent criticism OF methods en-
ployed by the French commanders
during the April drive.
Public Sessions Resumed.
Public sessions now have been re-
sumed. but the chamber will continue
Its all-night sittings.
In answer to critics, Premier Ribot
admitted that the April offensive had
proved costly, but denied that 1t had
been q failure.
Mistakes undoubtedly had been
made, the premier said, but we can
not rob our generals Of the audacity
that gives victory"
Minister Painleve dwelt upon the
successes achieved in the April Of
fensive, but did not deny there were
serious faults.
He said the responsible chiefs,
among them the commander-in-chief
General Nivelie) had been relieved
of command. Investigations will be
begun in few days, he said, to FIX
responsibility and permit the govern
ment TO take necessary steps.
ReprOaehes Government.
NJ Accambray caused a disturbance
by approaching the government for
sending to the United States men whom
Parliament had removed from their
posts and permitting these men to
use the United States as a spring
board" The house hoOted the
speaker.
NJ. VivianI, minister OF justice and
former premier, who was q member
OF the mission to the United States,
Indignantly denied the accusation.
He said he had refused to speak to
the chamber in regard to the Ameri-
can mission until he had been asked
to do so by the chiefs Of the gov
eminent for the sake OF "the illus
trious representatives OF the United
States as well as France"

ARGENTINA NOW DEEMS
WAR BREAK INEVITABLE

BUENos AIRES, July e.-Argen-
tine officials regard a break with Ger
many as inevitable.
From high officials today II was
learned the government does not ex-
pect Germany to agree. to Argentina's
demands that she promise no further
sinking OF Argentine ships. Unless
this promise is made, II Is certain the
republic will Immediately announce a
severance of relations.
While Argentine thus hovers on the
brink OF a diplomatic rupture, the
greatest irritation Is manifest here
over reports from the United States
that South Americas first necessity is
to GUST German spies.
Latin-Americans insist the activity
Of German agents here does not ex-
coed and very probably does not even
equal the work they are doing in
North America
