The special objective of the Liza
was New York City. The date set
for the attack on the American me-
tropolis was about two weeks after
the armistice was signed. Had the
attack on New York been a success,

have been, the entire Atlantic coast
would have been attacked by air
ships Of the same design.

The German plans called for an
attack every two weeks. Arrange

United States air service have
learned. to construct a large num-
ber of aerial monsters OF the same
type as the Liz, so that replace
ments for those destroyed would be
available at all times. Men were
undergoing special training to oper-
ate these ships.

Madison. Wis, April l0.-Miss Ma
rion /. Hill, a junior in the College
of Letters and Science of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and daughter
of DIR. w. B. Hill. formerly dean of
Marquette Medical College, Milwau-
kee. is finding IL difficult to con-
vince her fellow-students that she
is not a clairvoyant or that she has
Do>intimacy with a spirit world and
possesses mo- powers of mind read
ing.
For more than a week Miss Hills
reputation has spread. 1t was de-
clared that no man could tell her a
lie, because she only needed to press
her finger tips to his wrist and read
his innermost thoughts.

Miss Hill explained the seances
which gained for her a reputation as
mind reader. She demonstrated
her ability before six classes of psy-
chology students. The most start
ling of her performances, all OF
which were gone through with her
eyes securely blindfolded, was find
ing a candle holder in the corner of
a lecture room and placing it in the
exact center of a table in the mid
die. of the room. guided by the touch
upon her wrists of the fingertips OF
another student. Miss Hill ther

WANT WORLD
LEAGUE SAYS COX
DECLARES ENTRY OF AMERICA
WOULD HELP EVERYONE
Calls Hays Statement on Finances
Absolutely Untrue and
False"

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 31.-Gover-
nor James M. Cox and DR.. Aaron S.
Watkins, two of Ohio's presidential
candidates, and Franklin D. Roose-
welt, Governor Cox's running mate,
divided time in addressing a crowd
at the Ohio state fair here today.
Governor Cox, voicing the Demo-
cratic party's stand on the league OF
nations, declared for the league and
criticized the plan put forth by SEN
ator Harding, Ohio's third presiden-
tial candidate in his recent speech.
Mr.. Watkins, Prohibition presidential
candidate, criticized both the plans
sponsored by his two opponents and
also criticized both the Republican
and Democratic parties for not TAX
ing a stand on prohibition which he
declared to be the paramount issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke very briefly Of
agriculture in the West. He left to-
night for New York.
Earlier in the day Governor Cox
had issued a statement replying to
testimony offered by Will Fl. Hays,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, before the senate sub
committee investigating campaign ex-
penditures, in which the governor de-
clared as absolutely untrue and
false" Hays alleged assertion that it
was the policy of the Republican COM
mittee to hold campaign contribu-
tions to $1,000 each.
Governor Cox based his assertion
on what purported to be an official
document issued by the Republican
committee and which he stated show
ed that subscriptions was to be sought
in excess of $4,000.
For World League.
In his discussion of the league OF
nations in his state fair speech, Gov
ernor Cox made reference to ap-
proval of the plan recently an
nounced by Senator Harding, his Re-
publican opponent, by Viscount Grey
former foreign secretary of England.
"Well," the governor said, eve are
NOT going to permit Viscount Grey or
any other English statesman to write
our agreement. We are not for an
English league. We are for world

She Sang Behind the Bars.

A young but hardened colored girl
named Paralee Williams had three
indictments against her in the court
of Recorder Chapman on Wednes-
day, her program consisting of an
act of public indecency, eursing and
using obscene language, and cursing
and resisting an officer. On the three
counts Paraiee got grand total of
$50, evenly divided. But Paralee
paid the fine, however strange it may.
be to some of our readers. Recorder
Chapman has his eye on the high cost
of shining, but the sinners don't like
it we'll enough to proclaim him any
thing of recording angel.
Paralee must have heard Of prison
ers singing in jail, for while in the
lookup she sang a parody on the
chorus to Tipperary, her words be-
ing:
s'It's a long, long way to the poor
house,
It's long way to go;
It's a long, long way to the poor
house,
But I'll soon be there 1 know"
They say she has good voice and
sings well.
