HAVE BELGIAN TOURS PRUSSIA TO JOIN TROOPS Youns Soldier Escapes After Battle in Trenches With Sentinel Feigning Dumb- . , ness He Passes Policeman. BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Staff Correspondent The International News Services - ' PARIS; March ; 27.--After a .'.most daring escape from a prison camp Id Germany and an adventurous trip through Germany, Switzerland ' and Italy. Jules Llaudat, 22 years old, has rejoined the Belgian Fifth Line regiment, in which he fought at Aerscbot last August. 1 With fifty of his comrades he was captured at Maiines. They were placed In a wooden compound at Alx-la-Chap-pelle, fed on soup and potatoes, forced to sleep on straw and worked - very bard at road repairing. - Their guards were five landsturmers. , The prisoners had noticed that they were left unguarded by the sentinels for a few minutes each day while the guards, went to get the .soup. On December 1 the Belgians lay In wait for - the returni of the sentinels at the entrance of the compound. Shoot Down Germans. As one of the Germans came .back with the cuBtomary cauldron of soup, he was set upon and strangled. He was able to utter a cry, however, and his comrades came running to see what was wrong. ' One after the other they were shot down by one of the Belgians who had picked up the revolver of the strangled soldier Then began a wild rush for liberty under the bullets of a company of landstrumers. brought to the scene by the sounds of the shots. The Belgians ran in sig-zags to avoid being hit. Almost all of them made toward the Dutch Vontier. Not so with Llaudat, who did not wish to be interned in Holland until the end of the war. He had conceived the more desperate plan of crossing Germany and reaching Italy. To this boldness he probably owes bis life, as the landstrum men. feeling confident that he would be caught later, Tired only a few shots after him, where is in the the opposite direction almost all the runaways were brought down. " Disguises as Tramp. Once well on his. way, Llaudat gained in confidence and succeeded , in walking to Merestret without being questioned. He went around theoutskirts of the town and on to Lemburg, where he found some old clothes In an abandoned house. This allowed him to discard bis Belgian uniform, now all tattered and torn. Thus disguised he continued his journey as tran. without papers of any sort and with no money. He was obliged to pose as a deaf mute, when he met people and begged food by signs. He slept In ditches, behind hedges and in i old tumble-down barns. The weather was extremely bad and his treat, but the courageous Belgian kept onTand with the aid of signposts along the roads he found his way through Coolants, Mayence, Mannheim, carisruhe. Strassburg and Erstein, finally crossing the Swiss-German frontier, and reaching Basel. While in German territory he was orten stopped and questioned by police and military patrols, but he always signaled that he could neither hear nor speak, and when paper and a pen were offered .to him he would write, "Ich bin Schweiz" (I am Swiss). This was hla passport. ' . CARD OF THANKS. We desire to extend our most sincere thanks to our kind neighbors, iriends and relatives for their kindness during the long illness and death of our beloved mother, Alice Almond. We especially thank Rev. Blackford for his words of condolence and Doan & Klute, funeral directors, for their efficient service, and the many beautiful floral offerings. 2Mt ROBERT AND BENJAMIN.

Theatrical Notes Promisee of the Press Agent - A $20,000 rug expensive specimen of turkish art in rug making covers stage in second act of "Martha By-the-Day." ' . What is undoubtedly the finest specimen of a Turkish rug in this matter is being used to cover the stage In the second act of "Martha By-the-Day," the play in which May Robson comes to the Gennett, Saturday matinee and night.' The rug was made especially to form part of the Turkish exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and was samply manufactured by the Turkish government to show the possibilities of rug making by the Turks. It was not though to be salable as its mammoth size, 40x45 feet, rendered it impracticable as an article of household decoration. ' Burlesque a little different from the rest was offered by Richy Craig and bis Merry Burlesquers, who came to the Gennett last night for the first of two performances. This is one of the best shows on the big city time burlesque wheel, not a second rate company by any means, and includes a treat many players who have won their mark in this field of stage euieavor. For instance, there is Richy Craig, himself, who heads the company, and who is one of the funniest German comedians on the stage tolay. ' ' Chronic Constipation. "About two years ago when I began v using - Chamberlain's Tablets I had been suffering for some time with stomach trouble and chonic constipation. My condition improved rapidly through ' the use of these tablets. Since taking them my health has been fine," writes Mrs. John Newton, Trving.'N. Y. Obtainable everywhere, 'adv.- . . -'"3.1. The number of telephones ' In ths United States has increased fifteenfold m the last fourteen years. . .

Modern, Building For

. Supported by two massive columns, the front of the new Dickinson Trust company building at .' Eighth - and Main streets will be an impressive piece of architecture. One of the features will be the skylight. Instead of a roof, there will be a glass sky-light over the entire working portion of the building. Contracts will be let next month, officers of the bank said today.! There is no work going on at the site: now, but after the contracts are let, the construction work will go forward as rapidly as possible to completion. Photographs were taken of the old Vaughan building and drawings were made of the new bank, in order, to show the contrast in the two structures. . The new building will have a Main street frontage of forty-two feet and an Eighth street depth of 110, feet. It will be forty feet in height, the same height as - the Vaughan property. The base of the building will be of granite with Bedford stone used generally on outside construction. Marble, bronze and mahogany will be used in the interior finishings. The plans include a large waiting room for the public on the Eighth street corner, : a separate room for ladies, with modern conveniences, and three large consultation rooms for public use and committee meetings. " Tellers and bookkeepers' cages are arranged along the Eighth street side with offices opposite. Attorneys' offices' are to be located in the rear of the building

Old Vaughan Block RUSSIANS PUSH 3,000,000 MEN OVER DUNAJEC PETROGRAW, , March ; 27. Three million Russian soldiers are rolling like a tidal wave upon the Austro-Ger-man forces along the ' Carpathians from the Dunajec river to Bukowina. thrusting back their foes to their fortified positions in the passes and on the crests; ' To meet this vast army, the Germans are withdrawing the major part of their forces from the Vistula-Nie-men front where the spring thaws have caused a cessation of operations at most points. According to reports received by the war office from various commanders along the front in Poland, the Germans there now number only 780,000 men in 14 corps. As the total strength of the German force in the eastern threatre is estimated at 3,500,000 men, war officials believe that 2,920,000 have been concentrated on the Dunajec and Carpathians frontiers. The official Russian view of the situation was voiced by Minister of War Sukhomlinoff. "An immediate triumph for the Russian army, need not be expected," he said, "but an ultimate trimuph is certain. We do not underestimate the qualities of our German foes; It is upon them that the task of defending Hungary and Cracow will fall. "The Austrians must be reckoned with as fighters as long as any of their corps remain whole. Their morale has been badly impaired by successive defeats and the loss of Przemysl, but nevertheless they have an army that is of unquestioned strength." HONEYWELL TO VISIT RICHMOND IN APRIL The Honeywell party, headed by the Rev. I. E. Honeywell, will come to Richmond, April 12, under the - auspices of the Richmond Ministerial association, to hold a mass meeting in the Coliseum. The party will meet with the Ministerial association in the morning. The evening service will be . open to the public. Complete arrangements - for the meeting will probably be arranged at a called meeting of the Ministerial association. , PLAN CLASS PLAY FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind., March 27.

LAMENT OF ILIFF OVER OPEN GRAVE OF DECEASED WIFE A vision ' rises before me. I seem to see a man and a woman going down the road in the morning when the cparkling dew is on the grass, the birds singing and the wayside hawthorn e in bloom. Gay and happy, freehearted and content with simple life they journey hand in hand. She seems to vanish. He misses her from his side. He calls but no answer from all the wide world. He shades his eyes and searches the road. He searches the field, the meadow and looks behind bush and hedge. She may be playing hide and seek' as she loved to do. He takes up his burden and trudges wearily on, weeping. He still hopes that she may - spring out trom some wayside shelter and with her wonted smile say, "Dear, I was only playing." The vision vanishes. Oh, heart of love, Oh, mother of life great frustifier of beauty and harmony take me to your arms and bosom and hide from me the ghastly hideous figure we call death. Have thy magic gossamer over the thing we in our ignorance call the Real. Weave thy fairy web so that we see " through 1 its tender and soft texture the only real the spirit, the spiritual. Show us that in the limitless space of this wonderful creation there is room ' tor - every sweet longing for every broken heart, for every passionate and undying hope, surcease for every sorrow, satisfaction for every reaching out to the Eternal One. Assure us that earth hath no sorrow Heaven cannot heal. Somewhere, some place behind some hiding more beautiful than the hedge or tree or flower, the one woman ' waits and w III yet ere long appear and whisper, ''Dear, I .was only ' playing ' hide and seek.' Here I am ' at T last, '. my : be iqved.'VrBy Edgar IUf f. .
