BEE sTlNGs KILL QUICKLY
After Being Wounded In
Wrists.

Philadelphia.-Ten minutes after he
had been stung on both wrists by bees,
Charge L. Hume, sixtySix years old, q
resident Of Santa Ana, CAL, died.
The bees stings acted as violent
poison, physicians stated, probably
because of Hume's unusual physical
condition. Hume was stung by the
bees when he attempted to destroy a
hive close to his home.
Physicians, when told Of the peculiar
case, stated that there was probable
ity that the poison injected by the
bees struck an artery and was imme-
diately conveyed to the heart, causing
death. 1t was also said that the bees
stings may have acted as q violent pol
son because Of an unusual physical con-
dition.
The physicians said that. so sudden
death from bees' stingsl was very
unusual.

times and his last wife is now living.
His first wife bore him fifteen children,

Amsterdam.-With two hours given
in which to prepare for the end, Nicho-

was taken out by his executioners In
a state of such collapse that 1t was
necessary to prop him against post,
says the Lohal Anzeiger of Berlin,
which claims to have received from a

the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at five
o'clock on the morning of the day of
his execution by patrol Of nom
commissioned officer and six men. He
was told to dress and was then taken
to a room where the decision of the
soviet council was communicated to
him. He was Informed the execution
would be carried out In two hours.

FLANKS BLOW
PERI.s The 7EU7ONs

London Aug. 2l.-The main at
tack of the Allies between the Disc
and the hisne is being delivered by
the French 10th army under Gen.
Mangin. 1t was this army, augment
ed by several divisions of Americans,
which delivered the blow below Sois-
sons and Chateau Thierry that start
ed the German retreat from the
Marne. +.
German forces holding the vital
sector of the battle front between the
Aisne and Disc rivers were hurled
back over a 15-mile front today by
the French, according to reports
London. 1t is stated that the French
have penetrated the enemy positions
to a depth of two miles.
This attack, which is a continua-
ton of the assault made northwest of
scissors Sunday, is said to endanger
the German positions at scissors and
on the Aisne. 1t is added that the
French success probably will be fol-
lowed by a German retirement from
Scissors to the Chemin des Danes.
No details of the fighting arc as
yet available, but an advance of two
r,iles in this sector would seem to
place the Germans, both along the
Aisne and before Noyon, in serious
position from which only an imme-
diate retreat would seem to be pos
sible.
Unofficial dispatches also state
that significant local successes have
been achieved by the French from
the Oise northward to well past Roye
The line, as it is traced in dis
patches, seems to be very close to th1
important town of Lassigny, fol
which the French have been fighting
for the last week or more.
The Germans hold on Roye also
seems to be weakened by the recent
progress of the French north anl
south of the town. 1t would appear
that Roye now is virtually envelopec
on three sides.
Just northwest of scissors the
French have occupied the village oi

noise.
l was quite tired when l got back

it mailed.
We had very exciting time our
last week at the front, we were very
close to the lines. They told us closer
than they had ever let girls go be-
fore and we were too close to do much
good as our operating room and tents
were too good mark for Fritz and
we seemed to be in his way and he
tried to get US, but by first bombing
US with aeroplanes, they dropped two
but neither exploded then they turned
the guns our way and fired num-
ber of shells over us, but no one was
hurt. We stopped one day in Paris

Tell mother I have made good use
of my sweater as it is quite cold ev-
enings but it is very warm during the
day We lived In tents part of the
time while at the front and some
times we lived in old ruined villages
which had been deserted by the French
people.
So it seems very good to be back
here where / can sleep in a bed with

worth of Liberty bonds Of the fourth
issue when the totals were footed up
last night. Of this sum the county,
outside of Moscow, had taken $780,
900 and the city had taken a trifle
over $3O0,O00 This leaves the city
with practically S1O0. 900 to raise and
the county, outside Of Moscow, must
take practically $4,000 worth OF
bonds before Saturday night to CON-
plete their quotas.
Today the work of canvassing the
county began in earnest. The cham
Der of commerce took the matter up
at it's noon luncheon and started out
men and women to see all of those
have not done their full duty in the
loan. These will be given an oppor-
tunity to "come through" with their
quotas and if they fail will be report
ed to the county council of defense.
The county council has taken up
the work of handling. those who fail
to take their quotas and these will
be shown no mercy. Several of them
have been cited to appear before the
council tonight. The meeting will not
be public but the men cited to ap-
pear will be given an opportunity to
take their quotas and if they show
disposition to do this they will be
given help. If they do not steps will
be taken to turn them over to the
federal government and their names,
with the facts in their cases will be
given to the public.
The council and the loan commit
tee are determined that the county
and city shall both raise their quotas
and that those who are pro-German
will be known as such and that the
people will know where they stand.
Instructions were sent this after
noon to every precinct captain to
call upon the delinquents personally
and give them one more chance to
take their quotas and if they refuse
to report them at once to the county
council of defense which is empowered
by federal law to deal with them.
