BELIEVE VILLA
 HOUSE OF MURDER

Paris, Thursday, May S.-Calcined human bones are said to have been discovered by the police in the Villa at Gambass, owned by Henri Landru who is under arrest on suspicion of having murdered several women who have disappeared in the recent past. According to the police Landru used furnace, heated by some method as yet unknown, to burn the trunks of his victims and destroyed their limbs in the fireplaces of his villa.
 One of the most important dis coveries made in the investigation of this mysterious case has been mass of stones piled against wall of the villa. These stones evidently belong to furnace and cclinging to them, it is said, were found bits of melted glass in which pieces of bones, which physicians have declared to be human. These bones are alleged to include three fragrants of human skulls. The floors of the villa are now being cleaned and it is reported they show stains which are presum- ed to have been caused by blood. Suspicious stains it is said have been found on pieces of furniture in the house.

THE WAR IS NOT YET WON
Eminent churchmen Say American People Cannot Quit NoW-Must
 Stay by the Government

As in < all former loans and other government calls and activities. the church of the country is rallying her forces again to go out to meet the new call of the Victory Liberty Loan, and she is telling her people that this is her battle for finished peace.
 Fighting. We trust, is over. but the war has not yet been won." is the challenge sent out by Rev. Dr. w. I; King, president of the St. Louis Church Federation and pastor of the First Presbyterian. church. Much remains to be done, both across the sea and in the home land. It takes money to demobilize an army and to make sure the victory won in battle. Our sheer ity in beginning the war will be shown by our spirit in the ending and in completing our victory. Every Amer ican should. as a matter of duty, as an expression of thankfulness, do his part towards this Victory Loan"
 Rev, Dr. M. Skilling. pastor of the Webster Groves Presbyterian church, says he will use the force of his pull. pit and church publication to win SUD- port of the loan.
 The work of destruction is over and the work of construction is just ahead, is the view of Dr. w. H. Geistwei,, pastor of the Third Baptist church, which is one of the great congrega. lions of the Middle West.
 Surely We cannot stop halfway in this great business" Dr. ,Geistweit says. Sometimes I think the great est work is ahead of us. The least of our sacrifices is the Victory Liberty Loan. We simply must and will stand by the government in this new call"

st. Louis. May 9.-Because of the SloWness of some of the states to con-. pile the returns from their counties. il is impossible to give the total sales of Victory Notes as they stood at tho close of business Wednesday night. However, it is known that some of the state have made large gains, and while Minneapolis is crowding the St. Louis district, being less than three points behind at the last compilation, it is hoped that late returns will show that the Eighth District has retained the prestige gained in the Third and Fourth Loan campaigns. and has re- peated in the Fifth and last of the great series by passing under the wire first.
 Illinois, or that section of it affec- tionately termed Egypt contained in the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis trict, is. the laggard in the race ot the states, This section of Illinois, which has made such a brave show Ing in all previous war activities, and which has been counted on steadily as! being one of the safest. is proving a disappointment. Chairman E. E. Crabtree is bitterly i lhsappointeI--- ~ --C--->wing his state, Is mals~g. and is bending<yery ener-l gy I advance his state. HA says he IhL,es that the late returns ill pull Illncis out of the mire and tlat she will go over the top by Saturday.
 , Missouri Also Is Slow. 1 Chairman J. G. Hughes, of Missouri, Is also having his troubles. The great Imperial State is far in the rear of the record she had made in the previ- ous campaigns, and as the end of the present campaign approaches he ad-
 mits frankly that he fears the result. Early Thursday several millions of dollars had been added to Missouris total, but she was far from the goal Hughes was in telephonic connec-, {! ton with many of his backward coun-, ties and he said at noon yesterday: that he had not abandoned the hope Of getting the state over the top in. the. time limit, but he said the danger; was dCuSc anu uulSSS lueIo was OSl-' ter response Missouri would fail. Sev-, eral millions have been added to the total since the last tabulation, and II. is not impossible yet for Illinois and. Missouri to make the grade St Louis. too. which has consistent ly held the cellar berth in the tabula. tien, made a great gain, She was in, the stretch at the last report. and Chairman Van Riper said it was un.i thinkable to conceive of the great city of St. Louis failing to attain it's quota. and he believed when the citi-
 sens of the city understood the danger

Mississippi Strikes Average.

Mississippi was in about the same condition as the average of the states. She, still lacked considerable figure of being in sight of the goal. and State Chairman Kretchmar was keeping the wires hot informing his managers and. county chairmen of the situation. He' has by no means abandoned the hope of keeping his state in the 100 per cent column, but he frankly admits he has been disappointed at the show. ing as the campaign ends. This de- spite the fact that Mississippi started the, campaign with a whoop, and was among the leaders for quite a while, But the situation is far from hopeless. he said. and he believed when his peo- would respond.
 St. Louis county, the smallest unit in the district, has won all of the hon Crs. Chairman Collins Thompson had his entry under the wire first. It was over the top early in the campaign, and at g a. m. Thursday had not only sold it's quota, but had sold a. total of $1,5S9. 400 of Victory Notes, giving it percentage of 127.7. .a
 War Loan Organization officials are still hopeful that not only would the district sell it's quota, but would be the first in the United States to so over the top. With the proud record of hay1 ing done this in both the Third and Fourth Loans, Chairman Thompson and his entire staff are bending every energy to be the first over again and finish the. job in workmanlike man. ner
