steel furnaces in Belgium thirty-five
or forty have been deliberately de-
stroyed by Germans in their deter

dustry. Many Of the textile mills
have been put out Of commission
either through deliberate destruction
and removal Of machinery or by re-
moval of the copper and electric mo-
tors. Some Of the textile mills of the
more antiquated type Of equipment
can be gotten into action at an early
date. The Germans seem to have TO
cused their efforts on the modern
equipments
The glass industry had been bu
little interfered with. and the stern
promise Of retribution Of President
Wilson seems TO have saved the coal
industry except for very few mines.
Actual explosives and wires I

Of large number Of the mines.

ESCAPED CONVICT GIVES UP.
Richard Johnson Surrenders Freedom for Chance to Fight Foes of U. S.

AOs O~H>-s.~N " = -e-A@ = VI VI - v"
 A desire to enter the service of his country and fight the foes of liberty impelled Richard Johnson, escaped convict, to surrender himself Monday to Sheriff H. w. Finger. Johnson ended a period of freedom lasting nearly a year that he might enroll himself as one of Uncle Sam's fight ing men.
 Sheriff Finger left Tuesday after noon for Little Rock with Johnson and will turn the escaped convict over to the prison authorities with a rec ommendation that the young man be given an opportunity to redeem his past errors.
 In April, 1917, Johnson was con- victed of forgery in the Polk county court and was sentenced to the peni- tentiary. After serving six months he escaped and for about a year has been at liberty. Part of that time he has been in the vicinity of his former home on Mountain Fork river.
