sible war Americas preparation for
the knockout blow which is be dealt
Germany's Military masters. ANY
doubt that Mr. Wilson has adopted his

language used in the closing para
graph of his militant address,
For example thousands of copies of
the presidents address translated into
German, will be dropped on enemy
cities and towns. Along with them
will go dynamite and other high ex-
plosives BY way of illustrating what
Mr. Wilson meant when he accepted
the Kaiser's challenge to settle the
great war by force.
The plans to expedite Americas
preparations run through every war
making organization from the top to
bottom practical illustration is
seen in the conduct of the crew of the
American steamer Woonsocket, who
made new record in unloading her
cargo on the other side and yolun-

thus advancing delivery of her next

B|NGHA|N CASE IS
ALL SETTLED NOW
MRS. LOUISE WISE LEWIS WILL
RECEIVE SIXTY-MILLI0N DOL
ARS-JUDGE BINGHAM TO GET
HIS LEGAL SHARE.

LEXINGTON, KY, April TO- There
will not be suit by Mrs. Louise Wise
Lewis, of New York city, nor by th'
Kenan heirs of New York state. t.
break the codicil to will made by
Mrs. Robert w Bingham, formerly
Mrs Henry M. Flagler.
The controversy has been settled
and there will be no further bar to
Judge Bingham receiving his money
Payment will be made July q, as pro
yided by court, that being the last day
on which suit to annul the provision
could be field.
On the same date, it is presumed
here, Mrs. Lewis, who was the favorite
niece of Mrs. Flagler-Bingham and
heiress to the bulk of her fortune. Will
receive about $65,000,000 in cash
stocks. bonds and jewelry. Oother
heirs will receive sums aggregating
about five million dollars.
The state of Kentucky will collect
$4,000 900 to 100000 inheritance tax,
the executors having agreed that Ken
lucky, being the place where Mrs.
Bingham resided at the time of her
death, was her legal residence. The
exact amount of inheritance tax is yet
to be fixed, but whatever it is, it prac-
ticaliy will clear up the states float
ig debt
The golden food which follows the
settlement of the dispute over the
codicil to the will of Mrs. Bingham
whereby her husband was left $1,000
600 outright, represents the largest
cash fortune ever coming into the pos
sion Of a Kentuckian and marks the
culmination of a life history as dra-
matte as fiction.
When Mrs. Flagler and Judge Bing-
ham were married in November, 1916,
in New York, Bingham insisted that
he did not want any of his wife's great
fortune, and an anti-nuptial agreement
was Grawn up to that effect. Then
they came to Kentucky to live. and last
June when Mrs. Bingham became
seriously i'll, she summoned her ply
stefan, DR.. Nj. l.. Ravitch, and an at
tcrney, W. w. Davies, who wrote, and
signed, codicil to her WILL in which
her husband was bequeathed $4,000.
900 outright as his share of his wife's
estate.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 1o.-The
Kaiser is to do his bit to make the
Third Liberty loan driving sue
cess. The German Emperor, una
ware of the fact, has contributed the
Fsinews to purchase a $1,000 Liberty
bond, so that Prussianism and all it
rpholds may be banished from the

3y Emperor william, in 1906, saw a
good opportunity to advertise Ger

forwarded to Harvard University
$4,000. which bears an annual in
terest of $1,000. The income up to
this year has been used to defray the
expenses of the Germanic Museum,
but thinking the Kaiser's money can
be- spent to better effect now the
country is at war $1,000 Liberty

SLAUGHTER HUNS
MOVED Down THE ADVANCING
COLUMNS OF GERMANS UNTIL
THEY SICKENED AT THE AWFUL
Loss OF LIFE.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, in
France, April 10-The American rail-
way engineers who helped stem the
tide OF the onrushing Germans during
the opening days of the battle now IN
progress, fought shoulder to shoulder
with Canadian engineers in carrying
on their task. They held theif
ground stubbornly. and only retired TO
previously prepared positions Whek
forced to do so, and inflicted casualtlef
by the thousand upon the Germans as
they advanced in close formation, In
one place in as many as seven waves
each wave ten men deep and 90 yards
apart The Americans with the Can
adams had all the ammunition they
needed, and although they were I'M
supported by the artillery and armed
only with rifles and with few ma
chine guns, they poured scythe-liks
streams of bullets into the enemy at
several different times until the wea~
pons were so hot as to be useless.
This handful of American soldiers.
who were not hardened to such ter
rife slaughter, was sickened by the
shambles it created, but fought desper-
ately for several days, helping to hofd
the enemy, all the way from st. QUEEN
tin to the vicinity of Noyon. These
we're the Americans mentioned at the
time in the official communicates, but
details of their exploits it has only
, now been possible to secure.
When the German attack began the
Americans were working in the rear
lines with the Canadians, under Can
adam command They quickly threw
down their tools and seized the weap~
ons with which they had been armed
for some months and formed them-
selves into fighting unit. The Ger
mans came on and finally reached the
positions where the Americans were
waiting.
The exact number of the engineers
cannot be given, but they were coma
paratively small. They had no inteR-
ton of retreating, however, and were
