GERMANs~STIcK
TO THEIR RIFLES
(Bv United PresS.)

(By UnlCeQ EEeSS.)
Berlin, Sept. 10 (by John Grau-
denz, by MaiD Entente authorities
here doubt whether they will collect
more. than a million weapons from
German citizens under the disarma-
ment agreement made at the recent
Spa conference. This in spite of the
fact they estimate there are two
million rifles and revolvers in the
hands of citizens and another million
in possession Of spectators, many
of whom are known to be connected
with the army organization.
Fears of the entente officials that
the delivery will be small is being
substantiated through sabotage meth
DDS applied to the new disarmament
law. For instance, the reichstag,
control committee emasculated the
provision for the oath concerning the
amounts and depots of weapons. This
the commissioner had considered his
biggest club in forcing the country
to disgorge. . -,
Certain kriegerverein, or warriors
societies, recently were reported to
have exchanged modern models tor
old guns. Furthermore, power is LETT
to the commissioner to decide wheth-
er societies such as citizens guards
must deliver weapons or only an
nounce their possession, although
they have already been dissolved.

MYSTERIOUS WANlDERR
NJ. CASE GOES TO TRIAL
(By United Press)

&C. ~ y
!, Chicago. Sept. discharged with
numbering his girl-wife of year
and Of Staying a "ragged-stranger"
whom he is alleged to have hired to
stage a fake holdup so he could kill
his wife, Carl :Wanderer, ex-army
lieutenant, is scheduled to go on trial
for his life here October 4.
The Wanderer ease was given ma
ton wide publicity because Of the
mystery attached to it. Wanderer,
just out Of the army, was working
in his fathers butcher ship. One
night, according to the first story he
told police, he returned home with
his wife to find a ragged dressed
stranger standing in the vestibule
of their home. The ragged strang-
err" police said Wanderer told them,
ordered them to throw up their
hands.
wanderer stated 1t was dark in the
vestibule. Instead Of complying with
the strangers demand, Wanderer
fired. When the police arrived they
found the young wife and the alleged
holdup man dead.
wanderer for q time convinced the
police that he was telling the truth
until they traced the ownership of
the pistol used by the ragged
stranger" It was found that the
revolver had originally been sold to
Wanderer.
After gruelling cross-examination
Wanderer is alleged to have confess
ed to States Attorney Maclay Hoy
ne that he had killed both. He kill
ed his wife, about to become a moth
er, because, according to the alleged
confession, he was tired of civilian
life and wanted to get back in the
army.
It's a softer life in the army" he
told interviewers.
He killed the ragged stranger"
the alleged confession stated, because
he wanted to prevent any "double
crossing"
According to the story police say
Whnderer told them, he hired the
ragged stranger in West 1adison
street lodging house for three dollars.
TO date his body has not been iden-
titled, though it has been lying in
the county morgue for many months.
Following the alleged confession
Wanderer stated he didn't care what
happened to him. He said his mind
was at rest and the was ready for
the walk to the gallOws
The state plans to demand that he
be hung.

Everything that was taken has to be

when I was supposed to be asleep. They
said something about bills that had
been run during the war. Father said
he was glad his credit had been good,
but he didn't know whether 1t would
be five years from now. l don't know
exactly what he meant. Mother told
him that the clothes we'd made from
the blankets were so worn that they
wouldn't do for either clothes or blank
cts this winter. But my sister had been
downtown pricing things and 1t seems
you can't buy wool clothes now for
less than a fortune. Father said he
didn't see how they were going to get
enough new machinery in place Of
that the Germans took from his fac
tory to make the necessary fortune.
Mother and my sister can't 60 out at

the coat question. Fathers things are
none too good. And just look at these
trousers I'm wearingl Aren't they a

BELGIUM SKETCHES
"reminiscences of
/ a Belgian Baby
BY Katharine E~ssIeston Roberts.
BY Katharine Esslesson Roberts.

Copyright. 1920. Western Newspaper Union)
Whee-ee-eel Zingi Bangl There l
was right in the middle Of 1t. l thought
the whole world was like that and I'm
free to confess the first impression was
anything but favorable. Those Yep
pelins and their bombs were awfully
annoying; they made me nervous. Fur
thermore, a cellar is no place in which
to be born. 1t gives one such a wrong
idea Of home. OF course, / know now
it was the best place for safety, but
then l didn't have my present view
point. That was about five years ago.
Yes, my entrance was quite dramatic.
You see, 1 came just at the wrong time.
They were expecting the roof to fall in
at any minute and the atmosphere was
rather strained. 1t wasn't at all the
sort Of welcome a new member of a
family expects.
But, after all, l hadn't much reason
to complain. AS oon as the Germans
took u town they stopped destroying
houses. because they wanted to keep
the city in good condition to live in
after they had won the war. Il sup
pose they are sorry now.) Even at that
they weren't pleasant people to have
around. / vas asleep when they first
came to our house. I'd heard a bang
ing outside, but didn't think anything
of it and went on sleeping. All of a sud-
den some one picked me up and he was
anything but gentle. / didn't like it
and l didn't like him, and l said so in
very plain and forceful language. My
lungs and vocal cords were simply
worn out afterward. I surely was re-
lieved when my sister took me away
from him-and l guess he was, too.
But that was just the beginning.
When / saw another mar in n of
those rat-colored costumes pull the
mattress off my crib and take out its
wool s%tuffing I was mad clear through.
And then l looked around and saw
they were doing the same thing to my
mothers bed. They took most of the
blankets, too. But what could we do?
My father wasn't there, because he had
gone somewhere else to fight and
was the. only man in the house. | had
tried kicking that German when he
first picked me up and l realized he
vas too big for me to handle.
We hoped that one raid would be
the end of it, but it wasn't. Well, tc

make a long story short, they came
another time and took all the pretty
shiny copper and our doorknobs. They
removed our big bronze chandeliers
and even the little hinges from the
piano. We tried to hide some things,
but they found all except a few door
knobs and a couple Of candlesticks.
Then they came again and took the
linen. Finally they made a search for
potatoes. After that, they visited US
once a week and seized whatever they
had missed before. Honestly, I con
cluded, they were going to take the
whole house and were moving it on the
installment plan. But they left the
house itself and whatever they didn't
want in it.
My mother was awfully sad because
we didn't hear from father. OF curse
we didn't have much to live on either.
The Germans wouldn't let anyone
have more than a little bit Of bread
a week and everything else was just
as scarce. l was always hungry and
said so till I noticed mother a
giving me part of her share. | didn't
make so much fuss after that. AS to
clothes-welL. as ! grew, I had to have
new ones and we couldn't buy them
because we didn't have money and
materials were terribly high-priced.
The rest of the family had worn out
all the things they had in the begin
ming. My sister dyed some blankets
we had hidden whenever the Germans
called and we made coats and other
clothes of them. Then at night we
put them over us to keep warm. Be
lieve me there were some queer 0 s.
tunes here during the war.
AS soon as l learned to talk. I began
getting into trouble. One day / saw
that German officer who had yanked
me out Of bed when l was just new.
I thought maybe he hadn't understood
my former remarks and so made a
few more. He reached for me and l
ran. At first he started to chase me,
but it jostled his dignity too much, and
I was safe. l got into one scrape after
another and. sometimes when | was
hungry, I couldn't run fast enough.
Those men certainly knew how to use
their swagger-sticks. guess they must
nave practiced at home.

mostly a monotony Of nothing to eat
