RUSS WAR PRISONERS
SEEK TO ESCAPE

ZURICH. June Thousands OF
Russian war prisoners in Germany
have attempted 10 escape TO Switzer-
land during the last year. but only a
few hundred have managed 10 reach
neutral soil. The majority Of the
fugitives were recaptured within the
German borders and hundreds lost
their lives in the attempt TO swim
the Rhine. Many were killed by the
bullets Of the German frontier
guards within a few yards of the
swiss short Of the stream.
A few days ago i Russian soldiers
who escaped from camp in Baden
reached the Rhine nine miles east OF
Baden, in an almost starved condi-
ton, after wandering through the
Black forest and the woods OF the
southern part OF Baden. In spite OF
their exhaustion. the fugitives de-
cided 10 cross the turbulent river,
with its swift, dangerous currents,
which tax the strength OF the most
expert swimmers.
Under the cover Of night the Rus
slams threw themselves into the
stream and struck out for the oppo-
site shore. but they were discovered
by the German landsturmers on the
hills who sent volley after volley
after them. Three Of the men were
killed by bullets and their bodies
were carried down the river. Seven
others got into a whirlpool and were
drowned after a terrific struggle,
while three lost their way in the
darkness and have undoubtedly also
met their deaths, as they did not
return to the German shore
Only one Of the fugitives succeed
ed in crossing the river. He was
found unconscious in the morning
and sent to a hospital in Schaff-
hansen, where he had 70 be treated
five days before he could be sent to
the camp in Kirchfeld, near Berne.

The thinker who makes you laugh,

has been given as a description Of Lou
J. Beauchamp who comes here this
season on the chautauqua platform.
There is probably not 4 community
in the entire United States where
some one does not live who has heard
Beauchamp. He is probably the most
popular lecturer on the platform to-
day.
Mr. Beauchamp has lived a peculiar
life. Losing his mother when a babe.
he spent the early days Of his life
among the Creek, Choctaw and Cher
okee Indians, and uses many Of the
customs of the tribes as illustrations
in his lectures. Denied school and
college privileges, he was taught his
letters by a young girl, at once be-
came an omniverous reader, and at
the age Of II was contributing prose
and poetry to New York papers. and

City Water

The long continued drouth has
caused a very serious shrinkage in
the city's water supply from Clay
Creek, and unless the citizens custail
their use of water to the greatest pos
sible extent it will be necessary TO
pump surface water into the mains.
This should be avoided if possible in
the interest Of the health Of the COM
munity, and the city officials have
therefore printed notices requesting
all users of water TO be SIS careful as
possible. and to only use water for
sprinzling lawns and gardens between
the hours of six and eight IN The even
ing. There has been no heavy rains
on the Clay Greek watershed for over
a year now and the supply has held
up well under the circumstance. Even
now 175 gallons per minute -re flow
ing into the mains which is ample for
all purposes Of our city except sprink-
ling and irrigation. Unless these arc
curtailed materially it will be Ecces-
sary TO either cut them out entirely
or else use the surface water. The
latter should be avoided if possible
With the completion Of the new res
arvoir and storing it full Of wster next
spring n repetition Of this trouble can
be avoided even in dry seasons. It Is
hoped that all citiz ms viii be careful
and patient until this crisis is safely
passed.
