MOB HANGS
 PRO-CERMAN
Illinois Klu Klux Klan Takes Alleged German sympathizer Out and
 Hangs Him to Tree

COLINSvILLE. Ill.,. April B. Robert P. Prager. aged 45. an alleg- ed pro-German. was taken from hid ing at the city hall in this city. where he had fled to escape the vengeance of the mob, and was hanged to tree two miles west of town.
 Colinsville is a town of about 10,- 900 population in Madison county. across the river a few miles from St.. Louis.
 Enforced loyalty has been the or der of the day in Madison. Macoupin and Montgomery counties. in central western Illiois, where it is stated the activities of pro-Germans were quite pronounced. Vigilance committees were formed in numerous towns, and probably a thousand persons have been forced to make public their all legiance to the flag. Branches of these vigilantes have been working in prac- tically every town in the district, and persons suspected of being pro-Ger- men have been taken out and tarred and feathered ot forced to kiss the flag.
 When the news of the activities of the vigilantes spread dozens of small towns made demonstrations. taking scores of persons from their homes and forcing them to kneel on the side walk and kiss the flag.
 A serious. result of these demon strations was in Hillsboro county where a mob visited a farmers home in search of alleged I. W. W.'s. Shots were fired and youth named Clifford Donaldson was killed It was later learned that young Donaldson had en- listed in the navy two days before and that his father was unacquainted with the suspected persons.
 The mob leaders state that their ac- tions are endorsed by the authorities and that while they do not counsel violence it is we'll for parties to learn that they are in earnest.
 The hanging has created a sensa- tion in this city. and many wild ru- mors are flying around in regard to persons suspected of disloyalty.
 Reports coming from other cities where organizations have been form ed state that the leaven is at work and that those places will be 100 per cent American when the mohS get through with their work.

 Several offensives have been direct ed at the allies lines near Moreuil. but each time the enemy has been driven back with losses. The lines are holding steadfast and endorsements are being rapidly shifted to points where the line shows weakness.
 Premier ,Clemenceau yesterday stat cd that lie believed the crisis had passed and that the Teuton power would wane steadily from now on. The invaders are working at a con siderable distance from their supply bases. and lack heavy artillery to back up their blows against the allied front

It is quiet at Marshall, but the writer says he is just beginning to like the place.
 We have no hospital, no doctor or surgeon and no grave yard and no respectable person would care to die unless he could have the benefit of at least some of these modern blessings. We have a big skating rink, a first class movie show and the other night we had a wedding.
