Collinsylle. Ill, April S.--The in

Praeser, the enemy alien. who was
'lynched here early last Friday, was
not completed today and this even
ing no arrests had been made.
The inquiry was adjourned until
Wednesday. The inquest was held
behind closed doors. but it was
learned that no testimony regarding

lice officials told of the scenes around
thc@city hall when Praeger was taken
by the mob Mayor Siegel said that
he testified as to the taking Of Prae-
ger by the mob, giving substantially
-, the same story that he gave report
ers. In his stories to newspaper men
he stated that he opened the door OF
the city hall to admit one member
of the mob to convince him that
Praeger was not in hiding there, but
that others rushed in

According TO reports Praeger had

numerous miners became threatening
and came to Collinsville. Several
miners followed him, it is said. and
in a saloon near the outskirts OF Col

alleged disloyalty. Reports indicate
that the desire to penalize Praeger
had its inception there, rapidly
spreading.
The men are said to have gone

cruits from every saloon. BY the
time the city hall was reached a

GERMANS ATTEMPT
TO SURPRISE AMERICANS

With the American Army in France,
April S.--A large German patrol at
tempted a surprise attack on the
American outpGsts in the sector north
west of Toul early this morning but
was dispersed without being able to
reach any of the American positions
A corporal in a listening post saw the
Germans approaching. He waited un-
til they were within a few yards OF
him and then challenged. The enemy
answered with rifle fire, whereupon
the American outposts opened with
heavy machine gun and automatic
fire, scattering the Germans and driy-
ing them back to their own lines.
A violent artillery duel went on all
through the night along the whole
front.
The Germnas threw more shells in
to the American trenches than at any
time in the past two months.
The American batteries replied
vigorously.

over the efficacy of the submarines
and drawn from Captain Persius. mill
tary critic OF the Berliner Tageblatt,
the comment that after being persu-

man opinion is undergoing a change.
An official dispatch from Switz-
erland today reviewing the latest dis
cusson quotes Captain Perslus as fol-
| lows:
"we were at first a good deal per-
suaded to under estimate the parti-
cpation OF America in the war We
begin to note a change OF opinion.
It is beyond a doubt that 1t would be
we'll to curb at the present time these
more or less fantastic vagaries of per-
sons discussing the submarine war

population win permit TO raise bat
it is certain that America viii IN
the very near future succeed in amas-
sing armies which In any case will
constitute a very valuable aid for our
enemies"
Captain Persius continues BY noting
that America IS preparing for a war
Of long duration and expresses with
out great conviction the hope that tire
present offensive will attain a result
which viii frustrate these plans.
A digest OF German opinion on the
situation in Picardy, given in an Off
cial dispatch today from France SAYS
the German general staff is instruct
ing the military correspondents to re-
assure the public and with over en-
phazied explanations is betraying the
dismay of the public at the prospect
Of a check OF a great offensive. The
dispatch follows:
Among the descriptions of the war
and the notices in the newspapers tho
different currents OF German opinion
produced in Germany can be defined.
There is the first anxiety caused By
the extent of the loss. The general
staff charges the Wolff bureau and
military correspondents to reassure
the public and to put them On guard
against the enemy commnniques.
"The staff no longer upholds as on
the first day that the losses of the
assailants had been at minimum but
1t now affirms that they are normal
and proportionate TO the results OBJ
tanned The staff explains to the i'm
patient public what difficulties which
have been augmented by the bad
weather. 1T recalls the success Of the
preceding days and describes the de-
moralization of the enemy armies and
the exhaustion OF their reserves.
These over emphasized explana-
tions and these encouragement betray
the dismay of public opinion In Ger
