WILL THE WAR END ON
FEBRUARY 4TH OF THIS YEAR?

Bible Phrases Said to Indicate an
Early Conclusion of the Conflict.
Have you heard the rumor that the
war will end February 4, 1918?
Somebody in Chicago has been
reading Daniel and Revelations and
doing little figuring on the mystic
numbers these ancient prophecies
contain.
All over the city people are pass
ing the mystic ''tip" as to the peace
date. There are three ways that
Daniel and John the Revelator gave
expressions to a certain period of
time. The phrases are:
"Time, time and a half a time"
twelve hundreds and sixty days, "
and forty-two months"
The two latter clearly indicate
three years and a half and the for
mer is believed to be a more cryptic
way Of putting the same thing. If
you figure AZ months from August,
1914, you reach February of this
year.

TOTS DEATH FAVORED BY
SEVENTEEN OF TWENTY DOCTORS
Halselden's Treatment to Hasten the
Child's Death Is Backed Up by
Written Opinions.

CHICAGO, Ill.,-Backed up by the
written opinion of II out of a jury
OF 20 physicians that his treatment
of the Hodzima baby was the best
course under the circumstances, DR..
5. j. Halselden announced he would
continue giving it a powerful drug
that would hasten death. thereby de-
flying the police and health depart
ments.
After a policewomar had invaded
the Hodzima home and taken away
the medicine the mother of the baby
was administering, DR.. Halselden had
the baby removed to hospital. He
called in 20 physicians, and had
them make a thorough examination.
All of them agreed that the child was
hopeless, mentally and physically, but
three refused to sign the statement
that it was advisable to administer
opiates, even though they would
shorten life.
DIR. 'Halselden said today that an
effort was being made to place him
In the light of desiring to take the
life of the Hodzima baby. What he
is really doing, he said, was to ease
and shorten the days of life that was
absolutely hopeless and also to save
the life of the baby's mother.

PIERSOL TELLS HOW
The KEET BABY DIED
IN CONFESSION OF CRIME SEW
ERAL OTHERS IMPLICATED
in FAMOUS KIDNAPPING.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.-Claude G.
Piersol, who was recently sentenced
to serve thirty-fve years in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary for the abduction
of Baby Lloyd Keet and now is
charged with the infants murder,
has made confession to Sheriff
Ward Mackey, of Webster county,
the sheriff announced tonight.
The confession implicated several
persons now under arrest and others
who have been mentioned.
The kidnapped child died of pois-
oning, according to Piersors alleged
confession, a drug having been adj
ministered by lone Riley" to put the
child to sleep and keep it quiet. Ri
ley is named by Piersol as the lead
er of the gang and the man who
plotted the abduction, but he says a
man now under arrest under the
name of Riley and held for the
Springfield authorities is not the
right Riley.
According to the signed confession
Piersol admits his part in the abduc-
ton but says it was Riley who climb
ed into the window of the Keet home
and took the baby. Riley handed the
child to Dick Carter. according to
Piersol, and the latter gave it to a
woman, member of the band Pier
sol took an active part in the abduc-
ton, he admits. but declares he at
no time touched the child. He was
stationed at the Keet home, he says,
with Cletus Adams, Make Adams,
Dick Carter and others he names who
are not now under arrest.
The baby was taken to the desert
ed Crenshaw house on a country
road outside Springfield and there,
the confession continues, Piersol took
food for the child and guards the
next day. Piersol knew nothing of
the plot to kidnap the child until
Cletus Adams put it up to him"
according to the confession, and he
denies writing the ransom letters
which experts swore he Dencilled. The
post card mailed 70 the father of the
kidnapped baby, the last word he re-
ceived from the abductors, was mail
ed by Taylor Adams, Piersol says.
Piersol says he bought the card in
Springfield and Riley mailed it to
Adams with instructions to drop it in
the mail box in Kansas City. Piersol
denies knowledge of the death of the
child until after his arrest In the
confession he says a member of the
kidnapping band not under arrest
called Oh him at the county Jail and
told him Of the administering of the
poison and the resultant death of the
baby.
Riley is going to throw it in the
well at the Crenshaw place." he says
the visitor told him.
Make Adams, II years old, charg-
ed with the attempts to kidnap C. A.
Clement, recently released from Jail
was the first person to be arrested as
the result of Piersols confession.
Twelve persons, including Make
Adams and Taylor Adams, held at
Marshfield and charged with the kid
mapping are implicated in the abduc-
ton by the confession and warrants
have been issued for several.
The confession alleges other abduc-
ton plots were contemplated by the
gang. 1t was planned to kidnap j.
Holland Keet, father of the kidnapp-
ed child at the time he paid the So
600 ransom.
