TELLS STORY OF MURDER
OF WHOLE ROMANOFF FAMILY

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from
Amsterdam says the Kiev newspapers publish a story by the valet of
the former emperor of Russia of the murder of the entire RonaEoff
family by the Bolshevki. According to this story, the once royal fam
lily was compelled to live in a single room Of a convent at Ekatertnburg
for weeks before the murder, under guard of Bolsheyik soldiers, who
insuted them shamefully.
The valet said on July II all the members of the family were taken
to the cellar of the convent and placed against the wall and shot, one
after the other. According to the story, the murderers granted the
last request of the former Emperor Nicholas, that his wife, who was i'll,
should die in his arms.
According to the valet, the Grand Duchess Tauana was only
wounded by the shots of the rifemen and was killed by blows from
their rifle butts. All the bodies were buried in the outskirts of Ekater-
inbusg

Try Black raught
Liver Medicine.

Ocilla, Ga.-Mr. J. II. Mcneil, a resi-
dent of this place, says: II and my
family have been users of Thedford's
Black Draught for years and never yet
found its equal for liver and stomach
troubles. 1t is without doubt the best
medicine for headache, Indigestion and
such ills on the market. l firmly be-
lieve if a family would use it regularly
they would never have any fever, as it
keeps the liver active and is so easy
to take. We nave never had any fever
in our family since we began its use,
although we live in low country in
Southern Georgia.
I use it in broken doses for indiges-
ton, gas or sour stomach, but for colds
l use a full dose"
When you feel bad an over, stomach
not right, bad taste in your mouth,
head aches, bilious, etc, try that old,
reliable vegetable liver medicine you
have heard so much abOut-Thedford S

You have read over and over again
the statements from users who found it
of great relief to them in their suffer
ing, Try Black raught for yourself
why should it not bring you relief, too?

important naval base. 1t lies in II
North sea off the mouths of Elbe ana
Weser and Of the entrance to the hlel
canal, which it dominates. g,
The island was a German ava
stronghold throughout the great war,
Its occupation by the allies was under
consideration shortly after the signing
of the armistice, when the German
naval revolution made it appear doubt
full if Germany would comply with the
naval terms Of the armistice. These,
however, seem since to have been ful-
filled nearly in their entirety. .
There will be no formal surrender or
German %airplancs, as was at one time
expected. because it has been found
impracticable to assemble 1000 air
planes at one place and it is doubtful
whether Germany has a sufficient num-
Der of reliable pilots for that purpose.
Hence the first surrender in history OF
an air fleet is being effected by piece
meal. The Germans are shedding their
wings in the course of retreat and the
advancing allies are picking them up.

DEATH OF SPY

now EXPECTED
Department of Justice
Awaits Detailed Report
of Agents on Liner.

The fate Of the alleged spy captured
abroad the Nieuw Amsterdam at New
York may be death. according to De-
partnent Of Justice officials.
Reports from the department agents
in New York are expected within q
few hours. Meantime. In the absence
Of formal findings and assuming the
accuracy Of press reports that the
alleged spy had q secret code. Of
dcials believe America Is near the
point OF executing her nrst spy in this
war.
owing to wide publicity given the
search Of the Nieuw Amsterdam.
sensational reports Of germs In the
tulip bulb cargo and details con-
cerning the finding Of the secret
code, the Department was inclined TO
belittle the probability Of there being
q genuine spy.
Later information, however, con-
WINGED the most skeptical that the
United States has captured Ger
man agent who may be made to pay
the capital penalty.
II Il should be proved that the
prisoners code Is one intended Tor
use IN transmitting information to
the enemy out Of this country, the
Espionage Act specifically provides
thirty years Imprisonment or death.
That death would be the penalty
meted out by any court In such q
case Is a foregons conclusion, ac-
eordinE to some officials. not only
for the salutary effect II would
have on other plotters, but because
the courts have evinced q great
1zrf3Ifnppess TO enforce the Espion-
age ace to its most drastic limit.
Where a spy in war time. ae-
cording to the provision allowed by
Congress, may be sentenced TO
mot more than thirty years. there
Is an alternative sentence OF death,
and II Is this alternative that looms
up now as q probability for the
Nieuw Amsterdam prisoner.
