AMERICAN COMMITS
SUICIDE in China
H. L. Baxter" Is Name Given by
Man at Hotel.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Tsinan-Fu. Shantung Province -,
China, Sept. ga mysterious
American shot himself here on August
3 and left no papers or records which
made it possible for the American
colony to identify him. The man
came to Tsinan-Fu in October, 1915,
and lived at a hotel until the time
Of his suicide. He never talked OF his
past and refused to associate with
other Americans. Whenever an
American registered at the hotel the
stranger avoided his countryman.
H. L. Baxter was the name under
which he registered. He gave his.
age as 10, but was apparently
somewhat older. He was about five
feet seven inches tall and weighed
probably 40 pounds. His hair was
brown, but the crown OF his head
was bald. His eyes were blue and
he wore spectacles. He wore a full
beard and had the appearance of a
professional man. His clothing was
good.
His speech showed him to be a man
of education and he was originally
well supplied with American bank
notes in denominations varying from
81 to $780, which he exchanged at the
Observation-Disclosures Bank for silver.
At the time OF his death the Ameri-
can had apparently exhausted his
money, as no funds were found among
his possessions.

Lecturer Declares.

That German officers are afraid to
lead their men, lest they be shot
down from behind, was the startling
declaration Of DIR. August F. Knud-

In a lecture on THE Development and
Use of Power" before the Washing

ETY. at 1915 II street northwest, last

on the other hand. are done auto
matically at the direction OF stceled
officers. whom the soldiers personally
hold the utmost contempt and hatred
for.
AS an officer in the United States
army the speaker continued in ex-
PLANTATION. I once asked a German
officer who was an acquaintance of
mine, why it was that he never led
his troops in battle with the flourish
ment of sword as his ancestors OF old.
To my surprise he told me it was
because should he not take a posi-
ton in the rear and spur them on
with threats of death they would
without doubt turn upon him and
kill him."

Will PROTECT
S.ARMY Horse
Veterinary Corps Plans to
Prevent Epidemic of
Chambers.

Fear for the safety of the 2sS, 900
horses that are being shipped to the
various army camps is rousing the
War Department to take every precau-
ton to prevent agents of the enemy
from reaching them with deadly
germs. Recent uncovering of the wide
ramifications of the German espionage
system here mas enhanced that fear.
What the department breads is a
disease known as CHAMBERS, which is
common and peculiarly destructive to
horses in all parts of the globe. The
disease can be easily transmitted and
one infection quickly spreads through
out horse depot.
The veterinary corps Of the depart-
ment, to which will fall the task of
guarding the horse depots of the
cantonments, stated yesterday that
there is the greatest danger Of the
depots being attacked In this way,
and that the very ease with which
it could be done will make the task
formidable.
Doctors Help watch.
The bacillus OF CHAMBERS, 4 was ex-
planned, could be spilled from a tube
into trough where horses feed, and
a few animals, once infected, It would
be only question of a short time
until all would be victims.
Another way of administering the
germs of CHAMBERS would be with an
ordinary hypodermic needle, 1t was
stated.
While the veterinary corps has as
yet found no suspicious clews, it is
apprehensive, for the CHAMBERS bacillus
is easily procured, and a small tube
will hold enough germs to wipe out
several depots.
There are thirty-two army camps,
and the quota OF horses to each is
5000 If an attempt should be made
to destroy them with CHAMBERS, the de-
partment anticipates that the attack
will probably be planned simultane-
ously at all the camps.
Chambers affects horses in the lungs
and air passages. The disease de-
velops quickly and Immediately
renders the animals useless. 1t is a
difficult disease to cure.

Collision with Canoe
Declared "Act Of God"
ByD. c. Counsel, in Suit

The District OF Columbia is
not responsible for acts of God
toward an individual" states
Corporation Counsel Conrad H.
Syme in the answer of the Dis
trict to the Admiralty suit filed
for $4,000 damages against the
District by Arthur Cowsill, ad-
ministrator of the estate of
Arthur r. Cowsill, deceased.
Young Cowsill was drowned in
the Potomac on August 81. 1915,
as an alleged indirect result OF an
upset canoe. and in rescuing
him, the father alleges that the
police boat was mishandled and
was really responsible for the
boys death.
"A collision with an upturned
canoe" states the answer of the
District, does not constitute a
collision that a court OF ad-
mirality has jurisdiction to ad-
judicate."

NO CIGARETTES FOR
ARMY, SAYS w. C. T. u.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., TO
the Dayton CO.. Daily News says:
Whether American soldiers in
France should depend on their
French aud English comrades for
their cigarettes has caused con-
troversy between local Red Cross
workers and members of the Wom
ems Christian Temperance Union.
The latter are unalterably opposed
to placing cigarette papers in com
fort kits sent 10 private soldiers
by the local Red Cross.
But the sentiment seems about
evenly divided While the w. c.
T. u. members have expressed
themselves against sending the pa
pers to the soldiers, leading women
of the city have taken stand with
the Red Cross workers, saying that
'it is utter foolishness TO attempt
to deny the men fighting on the
field and in wet, cold trenches the
comfort of cigarettes. Consequent
ly the Red Cross workers an
nounced they would continue 10

When barefoot they stood there that day.
