FOURTH WOMAN
ENTERS MYSTERY
OF ALIEN SLAYER
Two Deaths Attributed to
Helmuth Schmidt; Police
Looking For Others
BY associated Press

Detroit, Mich, May Still an
other woman has entered the mys-
terry surrounding the matrimonial
affairs of Helmuth Schmidt, self
slayer, beneath whose former home
mere the police yesterday excavated
and discovered the remains of Irma
Pallatinus, his housekeeper, who ap-
pafently had been strangled. She is
Mrs. Helmuth Schmidt" of Chica-
go, who asked the authorities for a
picture of the man, who she believes
is the same to whom she was mar
rled in 1916 and who, she alleges,
robbed her of $4,000 and deserted
her.
With appearance in the case of the
chicago woman there are four
women, not including the 17-year-
OLD daughter, who may claim the
estate of Schmidt, said to be more
than Sl5,000.t One of these, the
widow, Mrs. Tietz-Schmidt, was held
by the police at the time of her
husbands arrest and later released.
\ third is Mrs. Adele Ulrich Braun,
who came from New York to claim
part of the estate, alleging that
Schmidt to whom she was married in
Lakewood, n. j., where Schmidt was
known as Braun, robbed her of $3.-
900 and deserted her. The other is
Mrs. John Swift. of New York.
With the Identification of the
body of the Pallatinus woman late
yesterday the police now attribute
two deaths to Schmidt, Augusta
Steinbach, whose body he confessed
to having dismembered and burned,
having swallowed poison when he re-
fused to marry her. Renewed serach
is being made for Margaret Darsch
and Mrs. Anita Schmidt, two others
said to have married the man in
New Jersey and who suddenly dis
appeared.

is the only possible measure of our
contribution to the war. Secretary of
the Navy Josephus Daniels declared
while here yesterday.
He denounced efforts to set a deli
mite limit in numbers on the men
who shall be drafted and sent
abroad, saying that the only limit
that should be refognized is the
number of men necessary to win the
war.
He turned his visit into Liberty

speeches before he left for New
York at o'clock, pounding home
the need for sacrifice at home, buy

named destroyer after a gunner S
mate of the second class, saying:
1t has long been the custom 20
name ships or destroyers after admi-
rails, but l have established a prece-
dent One of the latest destruyers

after oswald Ingram q gunner's
mate of the second class, who died
that if this happened the destroyer
bear the name of a man who is not
hero.
Not so very long ago a submarine
launched n torpedo against de-
stroyer. Ingram, with his eye on
the u-boat, saw the silvery wake
and estimated that the deadly mis-
sic would strike the how where the
high explosives were kept. He knew
that if this happened the destroyer
would be blown to bits. He dashed
across the deck and before the tor
pedo had struck he had thrown
overheard the high explosives, but
IN so doing he lost his own life.
Therefore, | have named destroy

mate, second class, who died a hero"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Advices Licensing of Cats.

Editor, Barre Times: Have recently
read your article on Save Insect Killing
Birds and agree that we should try to
save the birds, but this can never be
done until the legislature places tax
on cats. After putting suet, crumbs, etc,
in trees and enticing the birds to the
yard in winter and to build homes in
the summer. then to have the homes torn
down and the little helpless robins and
Others destroyed by the cruel cats prowl-
ing around at daybreak, it makes one
feel like giving up, as there have been
within short distance on one street
IA full grown cats, with two, three or
four in one family. | am sure very few
would keep but one if they had to pay
a tax as they do on dogs.
There is good article IN the January
"Guide to Nature" entitled, The
Slaughter of the Innocents," which says:
'sThe lowest estimate of the number of
song and game birds destroyed in the
United States every year is l25,OO0,oOO,
and the most destructive enemy of bird
life is the domestic cat. License the
cat. save the birds and increase the food
supply" A BIRD Lover.

When the full story OF what the Unit
ed States has had 10. contend with IN or
der 20 participate in the war Is told M
small part will be devoted no doubt, TO thu
relating of the work performed at Tho
French ports Of entry for American
troops and supplies. Something OF The
story has already been written-how IN,
harbors had TO be dredged and enlarged
in order to permit the movement OF more
and greater ships, how tremendous ware
houses had to be built for the storage
of supplies, how railroad facilities had
to be enlarged greatly and how count
less other things had to be done This
one phase of American activity abroad is
very important and the laying of broad
foundation by the United States gov
ernment was essential in order to per.
nit the government TO enter upon par.
tieipation in the war in the manner
which was demanded by the situation.

Alsaee-Lorraine Dictates.

A date that people of Alsace- Lorraine
have kept alive is February Is, the an
niversary of the protest of the delegates
of the lost provinces against their forced
cession in 1871. A meeting of Alsatians
in Paris marked the occasion this year.
Their act reminds the world that thous-
ands upon thousands of the captive peo-
pie have removed, at great personal loss,
from under the German flag, without
ceasing to group themselves as people Of
Alsace Lorraine, or still to look on that
region, in each ones consciousness, as his
home,
What Judea is to the jew, the lost
provinces are to their eXpatriates, many
of whom sojourn in our own country
There is this difference, that in their
case the separation has lasted only for
ty-seven years, so that only the first or
the second come into being, at most,
while the majority still have close rela-
tives remaining perforce under the Ger
man flag.
II would be wrong now that the time
for a possible settlement of the most
pressing causes or trouble between ma
tons draws near, to disguise the fact
that settlement without justice to the
eaptives and expatrates of these lost
provinces, to these stolen children, would
leave uneorrected the wrong out of which
the invasion Of Belgium and France, and
so the whole western war, according to
Germany's own accounts, arose, A peace
that lodged this question would be a
breeder of renewed trouble. Alsace and
Lorraine, or rather Justice, holds the
whip hand-New York Evening Sun.

Farm Hand Is High Prize Labor.

A man who has made million dollars
in farming says in the February Farm
and Fireside:
The average hired man of to-day Is a
conundrum to me. | can't understand
him. Farm labor is the highest priced
unskilled labor in the world. | figure
that a man who is paid $50 month on
our place i getting Slo0, counting rent,
fuel. chickens, and so on. Almost every
thing that he eats is raised on the place
and costs him nothing. The average man
in town earns $3.50 or - day, and
doesn't have work every day. He must
nav for every bit of food he cats. How
much better off, therefore, the farm
hand Is,
What we need Is a revival Of tho
good old-fashioned ideas that = man
must work and save. that energy. smbi-
ton. and nerve are what make men rich,
and nothing else Work and save, work

in fact, on scale e4ualled by only one

should like to see success come from
this effort, not only because it will give
an impetus to the industrial life of the
state but because it will have tendency
to spread out the flour making industry
of the United States, to destroy the cen
tralization in some OF the states of the
Middle West. Incidentally, it may cause
a considerable gain in the wheat raising
industry of the state.

That Great Britain is yet at higl
point in her man-power is shown by the
fact that considerable section of the
great western battle line has been taken
over by her troops, thus allowing the
French to concentrate their strength in
the defense of their own capital. The
appeal of the British government recent
ly for recruits must have been produc
tive OF results, enabling the government
to send men held in reserve to the front
line while the recruits took the places
of the reserves in the training camps.
The act of the British in taking over
this new part of the line is proof posi-
live, too, that Great Britain is not shirk-
ing the hard work of the war onto her
allies. That was German propaganda
stuff that was not generally believed
anyway.

presented with irresistible power and
logic" we are the more disposed to re-
gard as a matter of fact and not as a
mere compliment, because it quickly
convinced the representatives of the al
lies and was adopted with but little
change other than two slight modifca
tions suggested by Field Marshal Haig.
Though the plan did not originate with
him nor with Gen. Petain nor Gen. Diaz,
it is evidently satisfactory to these COM
manders inc chief, as well as to Gen.
Pershing, who might be able to tell
something about its inception. If we
are not mistaken, Gen. Bliss knew all
there was to know and went to Paris
with instructions from Washington to
work for the creation of council TINT
would provide concerted and co-ordinated
effort for the winning of the war. The
premier claims no credit for his govern
ment in this reorganization, but frankly
describes it as ''the result of the very
powerful representations made by the
representatives of the other govern
ments, notably the American govern.
ment." He would not tell how the SUI
preme council was to operate, but Lord
Curzon has let at least one paw of the
cat protrude from the bag, through his
saying that the council will have certain
troops at its disposal, which it can add
to Haigs forces or send elsewhere, ac-
cording to the exigeneies of the moment
In other words, whenever and wherever,
at any time on any front, its plan of
requires great drive, the
council will be able to let the comman
der have additional forces for the oper
alton. This is the kind of planning for
lack Of which the allies have suffered.

GERMANS HOODWINKED THEM
SELVES.

| As the facts are being brought tC
light about various contingents of Amer
lean soldiers in France, the conviction is
forced upon one that the Germans, in
making their estimate of 10000 Amer.
lean soldiers in France, drew the conclu-
sion from a casual inspection of one sec
tor of the front, whereas the informa-
tion now at hand shows that United
States troops are on at least four diff
ferent sectors of the long line running
through northern and eastern France.
That much information has leaked
through the censorship. How many more
localities there may be that are occupied
by Americans is merely matter of
speculation but it is certain that the
Germans hoodwinked themselves badly
when they made the assertion that there
We're only 10000 American soldiers in
France-just about enough to make
demonstration of participating in the
war. The submarine is not fulfilling its
promised work in keeping the military
aid of the United States away from the
allies, any more than it is fulfilling the
threat of bringing Great Britain to her
knees. On top of that comes the pre-
diction made by prominent British
authority that the crest of the subma
rines' menace will have been passed by
the middle of the summer

CURRENT COMMENT
Our Work in Italy.

| A distinguished visitor from Italy il
the course of recent address in thi.
| city showed plainly his feeling though
tactfully and graciously, that the United
States has been doing very little foi
| Italy in comparison with what it has beer
doing for other lands that are fighting
back the German wave of greed and bru.
tally. Apparently he did not recognize
that much of what we have done for
France and England has enabled those
countries to extend to Italy the help
which he praised very highly. Now comes
a Red Cross report with eloquent evil
dence of some of the aid that has gone
directly from America to Italy.
The report, which covers only the pc
Rod Immediately following the Italian
reverse on the Isonzo front. tells of three
ambulance trains. of 20 ambulances each,
as well as kitchen cars, etc; of thous-
ands of refugees succored and transport
ed of 100000 worth of supplies prompt
ly on the spot; of 100000 surgical dress
ings; of 10 complete field hospitals es-
tablished, and rest stations and canteens
at many points behind the lines and in
neighboring cities, and SO on. And above
all that, which was the work of Red
Cross workers who hurried to the scene
from France, there is constructive pro.
gram for continued activities on much
larger scale.
That is only one item among the
things, that America has done for Italy
in its time of trial The hundred am
balances that have gone to the Italian
front through the activities of an Amer.
lean association of authors, and main.
tanned there, is-one other item. And there
are many other items in the list that
our Italian visitor is apparently too little
familiar with.-Boston Traveller.
