tingency ! was determined to meas

1t to me readily enough, and IL some
Of them refused me 1t was only be-
cause they feared might be spy
or that the Germans would shoot them
IL their action were subsequently

About the fifth day after ] had en-
tered Belgium was spending the day
as usual In clump of bushes when /

line. All day long / strained my eyes
trying to decide what 1t could be and

something that could add to my In

1t. / had a great fear that before

worked up to the line and got pair
Of overalls for my industry. The pair
Of overalls was the first bit of civil
ian clothes / had thus far picked up
with the exception Of civilian cap
which had found at the prison and
concealed on my person and which l
still had. The overalls were rather
small and very short, but when put
them on found that they hung down
far enough to cover my breeches.
It was perhaps three days later that
| planned to search another house for
further clothes. Entering Belgian
houses at night is anything but safe
proposition, because their families are
large and sometimes as many as seven
or eight sleep in single room. The
barn Is usually connected with the
house proper, and there was always
the danger Of disturbing some dumb
animal even IL the inmates Of the
house were not aroused.

hope Of finding fooo scraps, but my
success In that direction was SO slight

live on raw vegetables that could

that looked as though 1t might furnish

moonlight night and IL could get In

BOCHE BARBAR|TY
 BREAKS OUT AGAIN
lRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, June 1.-The latest German barbarity consists of a man trap simi- lar to bear trap, discovered in No Mans Land by Corporal Leonardo Manser and Sergeant Victor L. Vau- pei, United States engineers.
 Corporal Manser, after bringing in the trenches, told how he came to dis cover it. He said:
 We were in the trenches on the night of May 24, when Sergeant Vau- pei and myself decided to go on a scouting party. We crept carefully over the top, making our way through the barbed wire entanglements and into one shell hole after another.
 After we got half way across No mans Land, my cane was jerked from my hand. Advancing a few steps, I stumbled on the trap. which had been released by the pressure of the cane. On examination l found the trap set to catch scouts and chained to stakes in the ground. l loosened the chain and brought the trap to our trenches.
 "The contrivance is three feet long and has jaws IS inches wide, with teeth two inches long. It is designed to give the victim great pain and make him call for help. This attracts his comrades, who become targets for a German machine gun fusillade, which results in the annihilation of the en- tire party"
 The trap is in the Paris Y. NJ. c. A. and will be shipped to America as a trophy.

SAMM|E A|RMAN |S
 CONQUER0R 0F HUN

WITH THE ARMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 1.-Aside from air activity in the Toul sector, the reports from the various fronts in which Americans are stationed indi- cated that there have been no un- usual events in the last A hours. The artillery activity around Lune- vile and Foul has been far below normal.
 In the air, American pursuit pilots engaged in several combats.
 Hun Plane Downed
 One airman reported that he had shot down a German plane, but as this occurred a considerable distance inside the German lines, confirmation could not be obtained.
 Another reconnaissance plane flew over the German trenches at height of 200 meters for observation pur- poses. It was the target for heavy fire, but returned safely, its mission having been achieved.
 Our reconnaissance planes accom- plished numerous successful missions under the protection of pursuit ma chimes. One suddenly swooped dowr from the clouds and fired 40 rounds into enemy communicatin trenches filled with men. The Germans re- turned a hot fire and the plane go back to it's own lines with number of bullet holes in it.

BRITISH GAIN BIT IN WOOD AT RIVER

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, June l. (By The Associat- ed Press 1.-The British made a minor attack against a portion of Aveluy wood early this morning. The attack gave them additional footing in that wooded tract beside the Ancre river.
 Germans Have Little Room
 The Germans have very little room for maneuvering west of the river op- posite the old Somme battle field and the loss of any ground however slight, adds to their discomfort and adds to the disadvantage of an attack west ward up the slope toward Amiens.
 By attempting raids and maintain ing a harping artillery fire, the enemy is keeping up at any rate a formal ac- tivity on the front between Flanders and Montdidier in order to keep the allied force occupied.
 Hun Raids Costly
 Every German raid has been ap- praised at its true value. In most in stances prisoners have been left in the British lines and none have been taken away. Some prisoners taken in- dicate that the recent reliefs opposite the British front have brought poor troops into the line in place of ex- hausted divisions. It is not easy to be- lieve, however. that this practice is widespread or that it means indefinite continuance of the present lull. The new railways and roads which the en- emy is steadily imr~oving enable him to concentrate assaulting troops rap idly.
 The activity maintained opposite the main British forces during the thrust toward Paris includes the systematic bombardment of communications along the rear of the British line. Long range guns are very busy day and night.

Republican 4. p. Leased Wire1

HUNTSVILLE, Tex, June Mrs. Sarah Cabiness, negress, and her sons, George, Peter Cute, Tenola and Thom- as are dead and her daughter Bessie is probably fatally wounded as the result of a shooting affray in the Dodge neighborhood in this county early to- day.
 George Cabiness was shot and killed Thursday afternoon when he resisted officers who had gone to his home to arrest him for threatening A. P. w. Allen with gun and with evading draft service.
 The killing of Cabiness aroused members of his family, it is declared, and they made up their minds, it is said, to kill the entire Allen family. On Friday Nose Allen was informed of the intention of the negroes. About 10 o'clock last night one of the Cab mess negroes carrying a shot gun ap- peared at Mir. Aliens home and upon failing to give an account of his pres ence and reason for carrying the gun, was shot and badly wounded. The other members of the Cabiness family yere near and carried the wounded man to their home about two miles awav
 Shortly after daylight this morning citizen posse surrounded the Cabiness home and was met by the negroes with volley from six shot guns. The posse began firing into the house and soon it was burning. As the flames gained headway the mother began carrying the bodies of her four dead sons to the yard where she, too, was shot.
 The negroes fired nearly 200 shots at the posse but none of the white men were injured.
 George Cabiness, it is understood. had refused to register in the selective draft and had failed to answer two calls sent him by the Walker county exemption board.
