NO U. S. sLACKERs IN BRITAIN,
The 5000 Americans in England Are
 Registered for Draft.

London, April 20.-(By Mail) .-Ex- cluding expatriated Americans, who have lost their citizenship by living abroad for more than five years with out passports, there are today no more than 5000 American male civil ians in the British Isles, and 500 fe- males. On July i, 1916, the figures were s,700 males, 1,500 females.
 The totals include government em- ployees not in military service, whose numbers have been greatly increased since America entered the war. From these figures an official of the British home office deduces that there are few, if any slackers among the Tanks in Britain.
 All American citizens of draft age were required to register with consul ates when the Conscription Law went into effect. Following this registry a number enlisted in the army or navy, including quite few students in British colleges and universities, some going into British service for quick action. Most of the others are above age.

GERMAN HORRORS
 IN POOR RUSSIA
Tortures, Executions and Severe Methods in Treatment of the Working Classes-Jewish Vil-
 lages the Worst Sufferers.

London, May 14.-A Russian gov ernment wireless received here today reveals the full horror of the German atrocities in White Russia. It says that trustworthy witnesses told of the violence of the pogroms, tortures, exe- cutions and severe methods in dealing with the working classes.
 "In the Bobrinsk district" the dis patch says, "entire villages have been set afire and plundered. In the yil- lage of Buda, Uhlan patrol extorted a contribution of several thousand rubles and when the peasants had paid part of it and were unable to pay more the Uhlans bombarded the vil- lage.
 .'In other villages, peasants, women and children who endeavored to es- cape from fire were pursued by Uh- lans and cut to pieces with swords or fiogged with whips. In one village an old Jew was first dogged and then hanged in the presence of all the viii lagers Most of the acts of atrocity were perpetrated in Jewish villages.
 "All persons suspected of belonging to the Bolsheviki and those in military uniforms were immediately shot. A further group of facts concerns vio- lence done by the White Guards, al lies of the German authority to the Russian inhabitants of Finland, es pecially in Viborg. Even 12-year-olC children have been shot. At Viborl one witness saw 200 corpses, mainly Russian officers and mere school boys According to other witnesses more than six hundred persons were exc cuted in two days"

Horrible Deeds of Austrians.

London, May 15.--A graphic pie ture of the terrible economic distress prevailing in Bosnia and Herzegovina is published by the newspaper Glas- loboda, of Agram, Austria.
 Entire districts of Eastern Bos- nia," it says, land the whole of the eastern part of Herzegovina are to- day depopulated and devastated re- gions which look as if a terrible ty- phoon had visited them with it's devil ish destruction. A great number of inhibitants were deported and have since died in the internment camps. Those who remained were massacred by Austrian soldiers. In other dis tricts the population is dying of star vation. As a result of such economic misery the deaths exceeded the births by 5000 in 1915 and by 23,711 in 1916. All the livestock has been destroyed and consumed by the army In con- sequence it is impossible to till the ground which was formerly done ex- clusively with oxen"

AMERICANS KEEP MOVING.
Give Germans for in Most Any
 Kind. of Fighting.

With the American Army in France, May f3.-(Delayed) "A big enemy ammunition dump at Cantigny was fired by the American artillery this morning. At the same time two fires were started in Montdidier. followed by numerous explosions. The weather continues nasty and rainy.
 There was no infantry action to- day and only intermittent machine gun and rifle fire. The position of the Germans is becoming more and more intolerable, while the Americans are intrenching their positions more firm ly. Any hope that the enemy might have had of breaking thru in this sector is diminishing.
 The Americans take nothing for granted but return the enemy fire two to one, which is believed to set new pace in this sector. What appears to trouble the Germans most is that the Americans never turn back when the enemy used gas. They give him a double dose of the same with every thing else the enemy tries.
 An American officer turned the tables nicely on the enemy recently. The Germans had retired during a bombardment to concrete dugouts be- hind their trenches, leaving the first three lines to one man who went around setting off flares so as to ere ate the impression that the whole front was alive with Germans.
 An American patrol leader went over and discovered the ruse. He killed the one German, invaded the trenches and gathered dozens of street signs which the Germans had posted and returned to his own lines with the signs tucked under his arm.

PLAN SILK WORM FARM IN U. s.
Texans Are Planting Mulberry Trees
 in an Experiment.

Alta Loma, Tex, May 18.-Fred C.. Pabst of Galveston and associates are planting tract of forty acres of land near here in mulberry trees to engage in the culture of silIxworms on a large scale. They have purchased silkworm eggs worth s20,000. During the past several years the production of silk has been carried on upon silk worm plantation near Austin. The comercializing of the industry at Aus tin, however, has been largely along the lines of producing cocoons and eggs for schoolroom study and private experimental work. It is said that within short time after setting out mulberry trees there is sufficient young foliage upon them to provide food for the silkworms.
