The soldier declares that he has
no knowledge of what happened be-
tween the date Of August 5, when
he left the camp, and, August 10
when he gave himself up to the au-
tborities at Charlottesville. He
stated in an interview Saturday
evening, that he could remember a
spring where he had taken a drink
and a dinner eaten at some farm
house along the road. The condi-
tion of his shoes showed that he
must have walked the entire dis
tance between Camp Humphreys
and Charlottesville.
II was stated at the camp last
night that the man declared upon
being questioned by soldiers at

Over Profiteerins.

London, Aug. ia dispatch TO the
Express from Tokyo, dated Thursday,
states that 200 persons were killed
during the rice" riots. Great prop
erty damage also Is reported.
The correspondent says there il a
plentiful supply Of rice available, tut
the profiteers have managed to pre-
vent government control of prices.
The worst and most extensive riots
Japan has seen in years are raging
in various big japanese cities, accord
ing to advices from Tokyo and Tien

bee called out and bloody conflicts
with mobs have occurred.
A dispatch dated Wednesday tells
of mobs tearing through the main

ing. War to the rice profiteers. %
One clash was fought between SOL

FAMILY OF 7 WIPED OUT
BY AN INSANE WOMAN
Believed She Killed Husband and
Children and Burned House.

willsayviIle, y. Y, Aug. 1S.-The
wiping out OF an entire family OF
seven and the belief that six were
murdered before the house was set
afire, has stirred the entire country
side about here. The dead are Mr..
and Mrs. Phillip A. Roth and their
five children, John, IL; Clarence, s.;
Charles, z; Edward. 5. and Mary. 5.
The Roth home was burned to the
ground yesterday and it was only to-
day that the recovery of what re-
mained of the charred bodies gave
rise to belief expressed by neishbors
and the authorities that Mrs. Roth,
while temporarily insane, had first
killed her husband and children and
then persisted in the blazing home
after starting fire with a torch.
Color was given to the theory by
the discovery of a shotgun whose one
remaining shell had been fired and
by the fact that only one skull was
found in the embers Of the house. The
authorities believe the woman blew
the heads off the others before set
ting their home afire. DR.. Eugene
d. Holly, the coroner, and II. Dean,
the health officer, at first expressed
conviction that the family perished
in the flames. possibly started by
some enemy or enemies. They absn-
doned that theory with the failure TO
find more than one of the skulls.
Sheriff S. L Bixby and District At
torney Frank Bech arrived late today
from Owego to aid in the investiga-
ton. The Roths came here several
years ago from Arizona.

Army Moves Unanected.

-ueNN.
The statistics of the German sub
marine raids of the American Coast
can offer no consolation to the Ger
man admiralty, as they stir up ne
real anxiety here. The raids of the
early summer were admitted by the
German admiralty to be failures. but
1t issued direful threats of the ec-
complishments TO be perpetrated by
the C-boat coast foray in progress
now.
Oncials OF the Navy Department
look on the present raid as having
begun with the sinking of the stand
ard Oil ship. o. pJetnIings, August
4, about 100 miles of the Virginia
Capes. Since then and including that
day. the Hun submarines have de-
stroyed twenty-one vessels. thirteen
OF them such small fry as fishing
smacks and schooners.
Only Two Of Value.
Only seven of the total have been
of great money value. and the main
object Of the Germans. the demoral-
ization of the coastwise trade and
diversion of proper protection from
the transports and war supply ships
has been defeated. The menace.
such as it was. was met promptly
by the safeguarding OF the fishing
fleets with naval patrols, an i'm
mense patrol service from Maine to
Mexico, and the arming OF some
coastwise ships.
1t has not been necessary, il was
stated yesterday afternoon. TO re-
call from European waters any OF
the naval vessels operating under
Admiral Sims in cooperation with
the British fleet The United States
July 4 launched fourteen new de-
stroyers of the greatest speed, with
special armament and devices for
submarine destruction and more are
on the way.
The seven steamships sunk prob
ably could be duplicated for $2.5OO,
600. The schooners and the smacks
would not represent a serious aggre-
gate loss.
The government regards the
sinking of the San Diego and the
Diamond Shoals lightship as in the
fortunes-of-war category. and both
have been replaced. The San Diego.
sinking was due to q mine tina,
probably was left by the departing
U-boats OF the previous raid. The
lightship was replaced within forty
eight hours.
The Sinkings.

marines in this newest campaign of
the American coast in the Atlantic
