Tough Tony Mareno, the first cou-
Wet in the long history Of Sing Sing
prison to escape and return voluntarily,
IS dead. His body was cremated at
Fresh Pond Friday and his ashes were
taken yesterday to Auburn. N. Y, there
to rest in the family plot of Thomas
Mott Osborne by the side Of Canada
Blackie.' who, with Mr.. Osborne. was
one Of the founders Of the Mutual We'll
fare League.
In death, as in life, affairs did not
break we'll with Tony Committed to
the metropolitan Hospital in August,
IN the last stages Of tuberculosis, he
died in that institution three weeks
ago. Since that time the body has been
IN the mnreue awaiting a claimant. and

Mr. Loonan got into touch with
Thomas Mott Osborne, now lieutenant
commander in charge Of the naval pris-

4. "A Picturesque Character
Tony's death closes the career Of
one of the picturesque characters of
the "Bowery that was" in the days
described in Charley Hoyt's famous
song. II was a live place in those days,
but it never failed to sit up and take
notice when word came down the line
that Tough Tony's on the war path"
Others, not on ToDy's bad book, but
likely 10 attract his attention from the
fact that they ran sturs or other games
OF chance which Tony might take it
into his head to hold up. beat him to
it by closing up and staying closed un-
til word came that all was clear.
A dozen years ago Tony was con-
victed for a job of this kind. 1t was,
/ he said, job Of which he was limo
cent, though he admitted frankly that
he had escaped punishment for many
similar job. On conviction he re-
ceived long sentence in Sing Sing,

Osborne Reformed Him
Tony had served most Of his sem
tencc when Thomas Mott Osborne
went to Sing Sing prison as warden
nearly four years ago-with his new
system of prison management, a sys-
TEN that did not at the time appeal to
many convicts Of the type of Tony
Tony was one Of those who was in sim
ccre doubt whether the new warden
was merely "a nut" or reformer will,
some scheme that, however it might
rebound to his credit, would get the
convict nothing. '.'
Not that he fought the change. On
the contrary, he kept aloof from any
thing like partisanship. That he was
converted was manifested a few weeks
later when, breaking an oath he had
taken to avengc himself upon a fellow
convict who had cut his cheek, he
called the feud off and shook hands
with the man he had promised to get
square with.
OTIS all Off" he told the chap, "and
Pm not going to do anything to hurt
Osborne. He's regular guy and on
the level. We've got to work with
him.

GERMANY MAsslNe MEN
 IN WEST FOR DEFENSE
American Military Observers Discount
 Long HsraIded Teutenie Offensive

Washington March 17-An1erican military observers have reached the conclusion that Gernany's constant n1assing of men on the western front is fer defense and that the long her aided Teutonic offensive, never will materialize unless it develops as a de- feilsive measure against the growing pressure of the allied and American lines
 This view. held for weeks by some officers is expressed officially today in the war departments weekly review of operations. at the battle fronts. Fresh German divisions are reported arriving in the west the review says and the density of the enemy forces has nearly reached the point where the congestion of the lines of com munication may interfere with hexi- bility of manoeuver. The review records the first unas : 1 sisted American assault upon the Ger mans the trench raid on dawn of 1 March H.: when the enemy was driven out and his position penetrated for a
 distance of 800 yards. The Americans now are in the trenches along the ali l lied line at five different points and
 are reported constantly active.
 1 Referring to Secretary Bakers arr rival in France the review says he has had interviews with the principa' , French, authorities and is about tt l undertake a careful inspection of Am

TRY MAGNESIA FOR
 STOMACH TROUBLE
It NeutraIizes Acidity, Prevents Food Fermentation, Sour, Classy stom-
 aeh and Acid Indigestion

Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion you have already tried pep sin, oismuth. soda, charcoal, drugs an2 various digestive aids and you know these things will nettcure your trouble
 in some cases do not even give relief
 But. before giving up hope and de-
 cfdlng you are q chronic dYspeptic inst try the effect of little bi5urated mag nesia-not t.le ordinary commercial carbonate. citrate, oxide or mill1.e but the pure bisurated nagnesia which yon can obtain from practically any drug g1st in either powdered or tablet form.
 Take q teaspeonful ef the powder or two compressed. tablets with q little water after your next meal. and see what 2 difference this makes. It will instantly neutealfze the dangerous. harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to ferment and sour, making gas, wind, fatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy. Tppy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat.
 You wil find that provided YOU take a little bisurated magnesia immediate
 ly after a meal you can eat almost any thing and enjoy 1t without any dan ger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover the continued use of the bisurated magnesia cannot iujure the stonnach-~in- any way so long as there are. any symptoms of acid indigestion.
