IN THE NORTH

f hepOFIS from SC. Louis Lnat
many negroes are being killed
by armed mobs of white men

the South that he is not wanted
mYthe north and will not be toll
Grated. Seventy-five negroes
were killed Monday and many
injured when attacked by the
mobs that took charge Of East
st. Louis just across the river,
and the civil authorities and
state troops were powerless to
stop the rioting.
snThe element engaged in this
lawlessness is the laboring
class who have unions and reg
ular rules of conducting the
manner and hours of work.
They do not want competition,
especially from the blacks, and
in order to prevent it they are
willing to murder them.
Led by the seductive promises
OF labor agents all through the
south last fall and winter, ma
ny thousand o f negroes left
the farms 0 fthe south where
they had been raised, and
where conditions were best
adapted to their natures and
intelligence, and moved north.
st. Louis caught many Missis-
sippi negroes and the
farms of the state in
many sections were en-
tirely depleted of the necessary
labor. The negro in St. Louis
has possibly been paid a little
more money than they get in
the south, but when the cost of
securing a home in which the
family may live and other nee
essary expenses are taken into
consideration, there will be no
more left of a years work than
there has been on the farms of
the south. Besides, city life is
not conducive to the good
health Of the negro. There is too
much to distract him and he
does not take care of himself.
tuberculosis is making fearful
inroads upon the race and in
the cities the disease is showing
its greaest work of destruction.
OF the 10000 negroes whe
went to Chicago last fall, it is
reported there are now 700
down with consumption. When
disease strikes them away from
their good friends of the south
their cases are pitiable indeed.
Their condition does not ap-
peal to the cold charities Of
their northern neighbor wlao is
too busily engaged inuchasissg
the almighty dollar to heed
the needs. of those in distress.

MACIN SUCCUMBS
TO TEUT0N drive
Mackensen's Forces Capture
Important Danube Bridge
head City.

Macin, a powerfully fortified Rumanian
bridgehead city on the Danube. in the
northwestern tip of the Dobrudja, fell
to the Teutons yesterday. For two weeks
the Russo -Rumanian forces had held out
under steady stream of steel which
finally reduced the bulwark to an un-
tenable heap OF ruins.
Macin was the last barrier holding up
the Teuton DobrudJa army's drive against
the fortified Danube city of Braila, eight
and half miles to the west. Immediate
ly after taking it. Mackensen sent part
Of his forces to the northwest in pur-
suit of the Slavs, whose only avenue
of escape now Ieads across the swamps
and lakes in the loop OF the Danube
TO Galatz the"gate" to Bessarabia. These
forces captured Jililey, five miles above
Braila, thus closing the Teuton circle
around that town.
From four different directions, Macken-
sens artillery is battering Braila. GalatI
also is already under heavy fire.
Meanwhile, the Wallachian campaign
has resolved itself to the final battle for
the Sereth line. the outcome of which Is
bound to spell either a halt to Macken-
sen offensive IN the east or q forward
into Bessar&bia.
Galatz and Focsami are the two pillars
OF the Sereth line. While the Teuton
Dobrudta army, by its capture OF Macin
and the circling OF Braila. made headway
on the drive on Galatz, the ninth army
under Falkenhayn, advanced to within
four miles OF Focsami
simultaneously, the great fanking
movement aimed at the Russo-Rumanian-
Sereth front by Won Gerok and KRAFT
Won Delmensingen. pushing eastward from
the Transylvanian ridges against the
middle course of the river, made sub
stantial progress.
Two villages were captured by the Teu-
tons I'm Moldavia, one OF them fourteen
miles within the border and two others
Immediately below Focsami.

Berlin report. troops of the ninth army

The Sereth Notifications were con-
structed by the Rumanians years ago to
meet a possible invasion from the north.

purpose of holding back the foe. who has

with Juarez practically stripped OF

pearances evacuated by Murguia, the
plight OF the Carranzistas in the State of

desperate each day.
Gen. Francisco Murguia. commander at
Chihuahua City, Is calling for help, it
was indicated here today, when three
troop trains loaded with soldiers from
the garrison at Juarez departed to re-
enforce him in his fight with Villa.
Villa is leading the fight against

here today. The troops left Juarez
secretly to avoid alarming the citizens
of the town and tonight there is only
a handful of troops left to guard the
chihuahua City was evacuated after
practically being stripped of all sup
plies by Gen. Murguia
The fighting is gradually being
pushed toward the border. Villistas
declare that Murguia's troops are be-
ing driven northward. This claim
seems well founded from the fact that
Horacistas, where the fighting was re-
ported today is several miles further
north from Bachimea, where yester-
days battle took place.

BURNED WIFE'S BODY
With acid, IS charge
State Springs Startling Coup in Small
Murder Trial.

my inc iuterhHbona1 news service ,
Ossipee. N. H. Jan. IA startling
coup was sprung by the State today in
the trial of Frederick L. Small, Boston
broker. who is accused OF killing his
wife and then seeking to hide the crime
by burning the cottage containing the
body.
A mysterious acid. which. when lighted.
would generate enough heat to fuse even
the metal of the cook stove. is the agent
which Small is charged with using to
complete the crime.
The intensity of the heat which de-
stroyed the home, Prosecutor Hill said,
aroused the suspicious of the State
sleuths. These suspicious were increased
by the discovery in the ruins OF the cot
tage of several dry batteries, a marine
spark plug and several lengths of wire.
Walter l. Wedger. chemist of the Mas
sachusetts State police force. is said by
the prosecutor to have found the evil
dence.
DR.. B. A. Carleton. who also operates
a garage. said today Small bought some
dry batteries of him not long before Mrs.
Smalls death. He said he visited the
ruins on September 30, and that the wom-
ans flesh appeared to have been cooked
by some intense heat.
