the western front.

of spelling what they believe to be

Mrs. Tinnie Malone to be Executed
In Winnipeg Today.

WINNIPEG, Man, Fab 22-Mrs.
Tinnie Malone, an Austrian servant, is
to be hanged in the public courtyard
here today. She was convicted of
clubbing to death Mrs. Mary Hamilton,
her SO year old mistress.
There were only spasmodic efforts
on the part of sympathetic citizens to
save the executed woman. There is
not the extreme opposition to the in
Fiction of the death penalty on women
here that there is in the United States.
Mrs. Malone protested her innocence
to the last. There was no direct evil
dence against her, though the circum-
stantial case was very strong. Mrs.
Malone and her husband came here
Austria six years ago and worked on
different farms, not together.
The state claimed Mrs Malone beat
her mistress TO death with a club be-
cause she had been discharged. Mrs.
Malone claimed she didn't know how
the woman met death and explained
blood stains on her clothing by saying
she had been chopping wood and a
stick flew up and hit her in the nose
None save a few official witnesses

Building Erected to Handle Business

LONDON, Feb. 22-America's en-
tire civil war pensions problem could
never compare with the colossal task
which the British government has just
begun to face after, perhaps, half the
greatest war in history.
The most up to date figures avail
able today show that $4,000 widows
already are dependent on the govern
ment for living. This figure does not
include the results of some of the
recent great battles on the Somme.
There are also 100000 war orphans on
the pension list and 10000 disabled
soldiers have been judged eligible to
pension while $4,000 cases are pend
ing.
Large temporary buildings have
been erected in St. James Park, Just
behind the foreign office. in which
British pensions viii be administered
during the war. After peace comes,
permanent buildings viii no doubt be
! erected in which hundreds of officials
will tackle the task of providing for
the hundreds of thousands whose lives
have been directly altered by the Eur
opean war.

AMERICANS SPENT MUCH
IN FRANCE BEFORE WAR.

PARIS. Feb 22-While Americans
have left an average of S109000,0O0
annually in France seeking pleasure,
they have only contributed about $12,-
100000 since the war for the benefit
of French wounded and homeless.
This statement is made today by the
American Relief Clearing House in an
aDpead to Americans for more funds
and necessities to carry on the work
In pamphlet just issued the Relief
organization harks back TO the Ameri-
can Revolution when money advanced
by France practically saved the Amer
lean government from obstruction. AT
the beginning of 1880, in America, a
Continental dollar was worth t-vc
cents, bushel of corn $3.50 and a srii
of clothes $4,000.
