GREAT BATTLE
Continued from page one)

Officers, while in the adjoining rooms,
American, British and Italian military
missions labored in cooperative efforts
toward establishing a unity of command
of the allied forces on the west front.
The Germans apparently plan a vast
ly greater artillery concentration before
risking the main drive toward Amiens.
After the original thrust in the first
half of the week, the enemy rushed W
many $50 millimeter guns. On Thursday
their first 210 millimeters appeared.
Still heavier cannon are expected.
Heavy rains, beginning Thursday, are
unquestionably increasing the Germans
difficulties. On the contrary, the French
railways, working with the same precis'
ion that characterized the 1914 mobil
i~zation, have completed the French con-
centratiOn.
From a personal tour from where the
artillery concentration is the heaviest,
[ have ever witnessed, L am convinced
if the Germans persist against Amiens,
the artillery fire preceding the shock
of battle will be the greatest of the
war.
Indications are plentiful that the
Germans are preparing Tor a second of
fensive elsewhere for which the French
have taken adequate
Following the decision of the Ameri-
can government regarding the use Of
its troops, the French general staff de-
clared the American forces will make
their weight felt in the present gigan
tie contest.

General at Work Securing
Evidence

Collinsville, Ill, April GA hunt was
on today for five ring leaders in the
mob which hanged Robert Praeger, al
legged pro-German early Friday. A dis
charged man with a brother killed in
France is among the suspected instiga-
tors.
Four Collinsville justices of the peace,
fearing violence at the hands of the
same mob, refused to issue warrants
for the five, forcing Coroner Lowe to
secure the papers in E~dwardsville.
Agents of the attorney general are
aiding in ferreting out members of the
mob.
The %coroner's jury will sit Monday.
Investigators learned today that the
mob's act was impulsive. The original
intent had been to tar and feather the
victim. No tar was to be found.
"Let's hang him. yelled me-.
The cry was taken up and a few nom
ents later Praeger's body dangled ten
feet abovt the ground.
Praeger registered as an enemy alien
last June.
The warrants will not be served to-
day, Coroner Lowe announced at noon.
He declared he probably would await
the outcome of Mondays inquest be-
fore taking action.

SwantOn Powder Plant Blows Up,
Killing Two.

The powder plant Of the Interna-
tional Explosives company at Swan
ton was completely wrecked by ex-
plosions and flames Thursday after
noon, the cause being unknown but
there being no doubt in the minds Of
the officials Of the company that the
disaster resulted from an accident.
Miss Dora Savage, Fl and Miss Mel

suit of injuries. The explosion oc-
CURED on table where girls were in
speeding primers. There was little
damage to the building from the first
explosion but the flames quickly COM
munlcated to illuminate, which is
highly explosive, and there was Sc
ries Of heavy explosions.
All OF the illuminate except what is
IN use for work actually under way
in the factory, was kept under wa
ter and dried as needed and that was
saved. There was probably about II
pounds in use in various parts of the
building and it was impossible for
anyone to reach it.
About 40 hands are employed at
the factory in day and night shifts.
Only about Is were working that day.
The village was shaken by the ex-
pIosion and glass in many windows
were broken.
This is the smaller of two ammuni-
ton plants in Swanton. The other is
the Remington Arms Union Metallic
company, which is in another section

WHY?

Whenever Orleans county has been
asked to donate-give, for various
war purposes it has gone over the top
with flying colors, meeting and in
most cases surprising, the goal set
for it. But when it comes to sound
investment in Liberty bonds and
War Savings stamps we have fallen
behind. Who can explain? A Lib
erty bond which pays a good return
on the investment and is the best Sc
curity in the world today, and the
War Savings stamps which also pay
a good return on the investment and
are as secure as the government it
self, both find the people of the coun-
ty Indifferent. Here is our sale of
stamps down to 48 cents per capita,
when other counties are above the
dollar mark. The men at the head
of the state campaign charge us with
holding back.
In the last Liberty Loan Orleans
county failed to reach the minimum
allotment, but when it comes to Red
Cross gifts, Y. M. c. A. gifts, K. of
c.. gifts, and all other kinds of dona-
tions for war work Orleans county is
to the front. Why does Orleans
county give so freely and ungrudg-
ingly, but fails to awake to the op-
portunity Of investment.
This paper hopes the people Of the
county will see to it that the coun-
tvs apportionment of $4,000 in
Liberty bonds is oversubscribed this
time, and that our War Savings
stamp sales increase until they put
us into the class with the leading
counties instead of the trailers.
This is an Individual matter. If
you cannot purchase a bond, pur-
chase thrift Or savings stamp.
Scarcely a child is so destitute he
cannot do that. Yet there are many
who have not started this splendid
way Of saving.
Why does Orleans county give SO
generously when it cannot be induced
to invest on an equal scale? Our
hearts must be right Let's all get
behind these investments and let the
state hear from Orleans county.

Suggestion and Warming About
Tramps.
March 18th, 1913.
Mr.. Editor:

Nir. EUtLOf:
[ would like to make a few sugges-
lions which may be useful. [ notice
IN a recent paper an item that law
was passed in New Jersey requiring
lOafers, tramps and idlers to go to
work and also an item that there was
a fire Of 100000 in ST. Adams freight
shed, cause unknown. [ must say
after Is years experience in hand
ling trains on the Grand Trunk and
Central Vermont railroads that I'M
less steps are taken at all junction
points to stop all tranps and bank
robbers from riding on freight trains
you will be apt to see a good many
more fires and burglaries in this vi
entity than we have seen in the past.
Roughly estimating, there are 500
such men passing through Rouse's
Point, N. Y, and ST. Adams every
year. | have always noticed that the
immigration department took too
much time around the station and
not enough in the freight yards. I've
had as many as IS tramps on one of
my trains and had eight of them cap
tured by the immigration depart
ment, returning three to New York
run on the trail of five bank robbers
and notified city detectives. So they
sent only one to capture five in
small country place and he was only
target for them. I could tell you
enough to fill book in regard to this
matter but will not impose further
on the space in your good paper.
I should recommend that the Cana
dian government and the United
States have special agents at all rail
road junction points to capture these
men who may now be spies, bank
robbers, and hoboes of all descrip-
tions. Don't look on passenger trains
for these boys for they are not there.
| would be glad to assist in any way
regarding this matter and gladly be
one to help in capturing at any point
required by the u. S. government.
