morning session at which the report OF

visit to some of the state institutions
before meeting again in the late ar
ternoon. The members visited the state
prison and the state hospital for the IN
sane and it is understood recommended
several at each institution for sterll-
izotion. This recommendation, how
ever. will not be acted upon at once
as the board considered it best to get
the opinion of the attorney general on
some of the legal phases OF the mat

German Raid REFUSED.

Paris, Dec. 21.--A big German raid,
partaking almost of the nature of a
highly localized attack, was repulsed
around St. Quentin at a point east OF
Fayet, today'S official statement re-
ported.
(Fayet is located about two and a
half miles northeast of st. Quentin.)
The statement also detailed artillery
ing on the right bank of the Meuse at

For several days now the Germans
have been "testing out" the whole OF
the French front by raids of all kinds
some mere reconnaissance expeditions,
others, like the above, in force. This
has led to the deduction that the long
advertised German drive may be pre-
pairing.

More Than 100 Injured in
New Albany-School

New Albany, Ind. March 2S.-Betveen
twenty-five and fifty persons were
killed, more than one hundred were in
jured and many city blocks in the resi-
Dental and industrial sections were
levelled by a tornado which swept
through New Albany late this after
noon. twenty-five bodies already have
been recovered, and that number prob
ably will be increased when the wreck
age is cleared away.
A part of the city is in darkness, and
Governor Goodrich has ordered two
companies and hospital corps Of the
National Guard to this point TO pro-
tect property and aid in recovering
the bodies. Every available physician
in the surrounding territory has been
summoned, the one hospital is crowded
beyond capacity with the injured. and
private residences and other buildings
have been converted into temporary
hospitals.

supporting the old and infrm is thus
placed on the French people.
In most Of the villages evacuated the
Germans left behind enough American
supplies, chiefly brown bread. 70 last
the inhabitants for five days. This
seems to indicate that they did not ex-
pect 70 be followed quickly, but as a
matter Of fact British and French pa
trolls entered many villages on the heels
of the German rearguard.
The more the evacuated territory was
explored the greater became the amaze
ruent at the amount OF labor the Ger
mans put in destruction. Hundreds OF
giant trees lining the roads had been
felled Bonfires had been made of all
sorts of farm implements. Some heavy
French farm carts had been deliberate
ly sawed in two and all the spokes had
been sawed out Of heavy wheels.
One rather shocking bit OF vandalism
was seen to-day at the Chateau Cor
gencourt, just outside Nesle. In the
private chapel an ancient coffin con-
tanning the skeleton and effects of the
well known Deputy Fontaine had been
opened and desecrated. Further out
side this same town it was striking to
see one plot of land where everything
was orderly and in marked contrast 70
the confusion and devastation else
where. It was a most elaborate Ger
man cemetery Bordering the grave
yard was a fruit orchard, where every
tree had been cut down and the farm
house shattered by dynamite.

Crews Destroying
Two German Raiders

From A sta- Corresponden, o. The Tribunal
Philadelphia, March 23.-The German
sailors aboard the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
and the Kronprinz Wilhelm, the raider.
iuterned at League Island, have taken
advantage Of the delay in their depart
ure for Georgia TO destroy the engines
and virtually disembowel their ships.
The work OF destruction was begun
Tuesday and carried on throughout the
night under the cover OF the racket
created on deck by the crews, who in
one grand carouse consumed both ships
supplies Of beer in the belief that they
were 10 be started south at daylight
Wednesday. There have been $50
mighty dry German seamen in the yard
ever since.
This morning the Wilhelm's band
gave a concert. But above the music
of the band and the voices OF sailors
came the significant ciink, clink Of the
anvil chorus below decks, where the
ships innards were being put 70 waste.
The United States is powerless to in
terfere. The ex-liners are carried on
the Imperial Naval Register as con-
verted cruisers, ana if Germany wants
to destroy her own ships that's her
affair.
When the Germans will entrain for
Forts Oglethorpe and Mcpherson is not
certain yet.

Washington. March 23.-Navsl gov
eminent for the Danish West Indies
has been determined upon by the Ad-

there would be formal announcement
shortly Of arrangements for the cere-
monials attending the raising OF the
American flag. Assistant Secretary

during which the United States sought

During recent years German steam .

Women Of France
Forced to Work in
German Factories

With the British Armies in France,
March 23.-In leaving the territory re-
Gently evacuated the Germans have
taken away, in addition to all strong
men and boys above sixteen, all women
and girls from fifteen years upward
who are able to work. A French official
communication recently mentioned the
taking of fifty women and girls from
Noyon. On February II last the Ger
mans removed 423 from Nesle. 1t is
said that all women capable Of work
ing in German factories or on German
farms, who have no children dependent
on them, must go.
In taking away the fit population the
Germans are replacing these persons by
sending back hundreds OF aged or in
firm men and women from St. Quentin
and other places behind their new
lines, saying frankly that the burden of
