OHIO CITIZENS
COMPEL GERMANS
TOKISS THE FLAG
Fremont Tailor Rescued in
Time to Avert
Lynching

Columbus, o., April 2.-Growing
activity against pro-Germanism was
parked in Ohio by work of volun-
teer vigilence committees in half a
dozen cities last night.
AT Fremont, Fred Kobe, tailor,
was rescued from a mob by the po-
lice. Lynching was threatened when
he refused to kiss the American flag,
the police arriving in time to save
him. Frederick Bollman, editor of a
German paper and numerous others
were made to publicly show evidence
of their patriotism.
More than n hundred steel mill
employees took William Zerbe, one of
their number to the public square
in Canton and forced him to salute
and kiss the colors after alleged un-
patriotic remarks.
Three hundred persons in sixty
automobiles visited thirty homes of
alleged pro-Germans in the Coshoc-
ton neighborhood and compelled
heads of families to denounce the
kaiser and to salute and kiss the
flag. Doors were broken in at several
homes and a fire company was call
ed to aid in getting one family out.
A patrol car of police officers tried
unsuccessfully to break up the mob.
AT a meeting last night the Co.
lumbus Board of Education ordered
teaching of German in all city
schools to be stopped at once.

GAS IN THE STOMACH

Recommends Dai y Use of Mag.
nesia To Over ome Trouble.
Caused by Fermenting Food
and Acid Indigestion.

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that full, bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of excessive
liydrochloric acid in the stomach,
creating so-called acid Indigestion"
Acid .stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach, often
leading to gastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers. Food ferments
and sours, creating the distressing
gas which distends the stomach and
hampers the normal functions of the
vital internal organs, often affecting
the heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist a few ounces of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in
a quarter glass of water right after
eating. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body, sweet
en- the stomach, neutralize the excess
acid and prevent it's formation and
there is no sourness or pain. Bisurat-

ALL TROOPS IN
CAMP TO SAIL
BEFORE AUG. |
President Orders Great Army
to Be Overseas For the
Summer Fighting

Washington, April 2.-Executive
orders have been issued which will
place in France or en- route by Au-
gust 1 all troops now in the canton
ments of this country. Less than Is
per cent. will be retained for training
purposes. To facilitate the overseas
movement, President Wilson pressed
for an immediate statement from the
French and British authorities as to
what percentage of supplies can be
eliminated to make available addi-
tional shipping.
All important happenings on the
battle front now are getting the i'm
mediate attention of the President.
The plans for greater participation
are accelerated by passing through
his hands.
Secretary Baker, in a message in
dicated he thought it wise to return
at once in order to give the War De-
partment and supply bureaus the
benefit of the information he has
gathered. The President IS under
stood to have replied with an urgent
request that the contemplated trip to
Italy be not abandoned.
Italy is regarded by the President
as one of the great sufferers of the
war. 1t is said to be his desire that no
incident occur which the Italian peo-
pie could consider lack of courtesy.
To Rush Men Abroad
The Presidents plan to get the
greatest possible number of troops to
France in the least possible time is
declared to be working smoothly. No
more furloughs or leaves of absence
are to be granted save in eXtraordi-
nary cases, for an indefinite period.
A group of military units repre-
senting several hundred thousand
men are now preparing to join the
great army in France, which will be
under the supreme command of Cen
eral Foch. AS rapidly as transporta-
tion facilities will permit others will
follow.
The soldiers are being massed at
certain Atlantic ports of embarkation
No ship will sail without taking every
man for whom space can be found.
The National Army divisions which
may De llTSC 10 go, II was learned, IN
clude those now at Camp Upton and
Camp Yaphank, N. Y; Camp Dix, N.
j.; Camp Devens, Mass, and Camp
Lee, Va.
Many Now Ready to Go
Many of these divisions are said to
be so far advanced in training they
could go into action without addi-
tional preliminary work. The oppor-
tunity for such service is regarded as
a certainty among those who appear
to know something of the campaign
plans now being urged from Wash
ington.
The President it is thought. will
take up with the House military af-
fairs committee at an early date such
legislation as he may regard necessary
to increase the size of the Army. 1t is
hoped to evolve a plan that will give
the greatest amount of protection for
the industries of the country.
No intimation came from the White
House concerning the main points of
information the President is likely to
discuss in his Baltimore speech. II
was thought in best informed circles
the opportunity would be accepted to
denounce all German peace protesta-
tions as unworthy of consideration
and insist that the nation concentrate
all energy in the effort to destroy the
power of the Teuton war lords.

War Time Lexicon
Black Marias:

Black Marias:
Are 800 pound howitzer shells,
which liberate large cloud of sting
ing black smoke when they ex-
plode.
Kukri:
When the Brieish brought troops
from India to the western battle
front, new weapons outside the
knowledge of western warfare were
brought into use by the Indian SOL
diers. Chief among these is the
Kukri, a fifteen to eighteen inch
curved knife of the Gurkhas. the
wonderful soldiers from Nepal. The
knife has a razor edge which thick
ems toward the back to a quarter of
an inch. The handle which is of
wood, is bound with copper wire at
distances apart for the fingers to
grip the wood easily. 1t can be used
either at close quarters or thrown.
There is no escape by running, for
so skillful are these Indians in the
use of the Kukri, that man would
be beheaded before he had gone ten
yards in an effort to escape.
Steel Ring:
Another peculiar weapon of the
Indian soldiers is a kind of steel
ring, which they carry on their
heads like a fillet. 1t also has a
razor edge which thickens abruptly
to the inner rim. In an attack, the
ring is lifted from the head and
hurled with such skill and force
that it will half bury itself in a tree
trunk yards away, and would cut a
mans head off very neatly and ex-
peditiously.
AS the Indian soldiers have been
| transferred to the Mesopotamian
battle front, on account of the un-
accumtomed climatic conditions in
France, these weapons are not now
seen in the west
