GERMANS USE POISON GASES AGAINST RUSS Czar's Officers Claim 16,600 Men Taken as Prisoners From Germans at Opor River.
BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY International New Service Staff Correspondent. ; PETROGRAD, June 2 More than ' 16,660 prisoners have been captured by the Russians along the Opor river, near Stryj. and in the villa of Swica north of Dolina (Eastern Galicia) it was officially announced by the Russian war office today. Of these 238 were officers. These figures do not represent all the German, Austrian and Hungarian prisoners taken in that arena of operations, for the 16,660 men mentioned were the prisoners counted between Friday and Sunday on their way to the rear for transportation into the interior of Russia. Thousands of others are still held near the front because of lack of rail facilities to take them to the rear. Start New Move. The Germans have begun another offensive movement all along the line in Poland and are using vast quantities of poisonous gases against the Russians, such as tney aiscnargea against the British troops in Belgium. The following official communique has been given out by the war office, part being issued last night and the balance today: "In the Shavll (Szwale) region there is no change. West of Kurdowiany fighting continues on the Trav-iany-Gailiski front. On Monday we captured at the point of the bayonet, the latter village which had been strongly fortified and which was stubbornly defended by Germans. "On the left bank of the Vistula, during the night of May 30-31 the enemy developed by active artillery fire over the whole front north of the Pilica. Use Vapor Guns. "About 4 o'clock in the morning under the cover of a thick curtain Of smoke and with the extensive use of poisonous gases, the enemy attacked in force our positions on the Bzura river near Witkowice, Brohow, Sochaczew and Koslow. The attacks were characterized by extraordinary intensity. Other attacks were delivered against our positions on the lower Rawka river in the vicinity of Mizerka and Wola and Szydlowska. "So vast was. the quantity of the poisonous fumes released against our lines that the effect was perceptible twenty miles behind the Russian front. But in spite of this fact all the German attacks were repulsed. "In Galicia after several days of preparation the enemy on Sunday opened a violent fire and delivered a series of attacks against our front southwest of Przemysl, the chief assaults being directed against that section of our line defined by forts number seven and number eleven. During Sunday night and Monday the enemy succeeded in approaching within 200 paces of our lines at some points and even gained a foothold in fort number T around which raged an obstinate battle that lasted until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Finally the Austro-German attacks were repulsed and the enemy drew off leaving enormous numbers of killed and wounded behind.
ALUMNI OF EARLHAM INVITED TO COLLEGE ; FOR QUINQUENNIAL
The Alumni Association of Earlham college has sent out the following invitation for the quinquennial banquet: "Dear Friend: This being the Quinquennial year we desire to make .. our Alumni gathering five times stronger in unity and good-fellowship than at any time previous. "In the recent 'past, year, we, the Alumni, have come to realize more definitely our own responsibility and privilege with regard to the rapidly expanding Earlham College. We see, as never before, that while the local departments may shift and change with time and accident of circumstance, the Alumni is permanent, unchangeable, except in growth in numbers and breadth of purpose. "Therefore, each Alumnus owes it to himself personally, as a unit of this "Greater Earlham" to which he has ; volunteered himself a member, to ; make this coming Quinquennial the most representative of what is high- ' est and best in his Alma Mater and in . himself. "The banquet will be held at the College on Tuesday evening, June 15, at 6:00 o'clock. A program of eats and events is being prepared, such as will gladden all who come and be of lasting regret to all who stay away. "The regular Business meeting of the Alumni will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in Parry Hall. This will be followed at 2:30 by a meeting of the Old Students' Association. "Quinquennial Committee. "Barbara Beckman. Treas. SOLDIERS OF SULTAN TIRED OF FIGHTING ATHENS, June 2. The allies have resumed the offensive on Callipoli. Dispatches from Tenedos state that fierce night and day fighting is in progress at many points. Dispatches to the International News Service last week stating that a mutiny had broken out in the Turkish army on the Dardanelles, were confirmed today by amplifying advices from that theatre of operations. Several officers were killed in the fighting, and forty three others who were ringleaders in the plot were taken to Constantinople and executed.
Consumption a House Disease
BY DAVID W. DENNIS. If a survey of our city is made from the standpoint of consumption, it will be found that about one-fourth of the houses have furnished the consumption cases. When a consumptive patient dies in a house and care is not taken to disinfect the house by some one who knows how to do this, it is. almost certain that after two or three years there will be another victim from the same house; either another member of the same family or in case another family moves in, healthful, hopeful and happy, some member of the family will come down with consumption. He catches the disease and throws it off once; that is if his white corpucles eat up the invading germs, but a new supply assails him and if these WILLIAMSBURG HOLDS OLD TRAILS MEETING The Fourth of July celebration commemorating the National road and asking the government to take over the old highway, is arousing enthusiasm in Williamsburg. The work of organizing has been pushed and, emulating Centerville and other energetic towns, Williamsburg will hold a boosters' meeting Friday evening to which the public is invited. A musicale will be given as one of the features of the meeting.

A central au thority at Mexico City is no sooner t set up than it is undermined ana its authority denied by those who were expected to support it. Mexico is apparently no nearer a solution of her tragical trouble than she was when the revolution was first kindled. And she has been swept by civil war as if by fire. Mexico Needs Peace. "Her crops are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her work cattle are con fiscated for the armed factions, herj people flee to the mountains to es-' cape being drawn into unavailing1, bloodshed and no man seems to see ori lead the way to peace and settled! order. There is no proper protec- ' tion for her own citizens or for the citizens of other nations resident or j at. work within her territory. Mexico ! is starving without a government. j "In these circumstances the Presi-i dent and government of the United ! States can not stand indifferently and do nothing for a neighbor. They want nothing for themselves in Mexico. Least of all do they desire to settle her affairs for her or claim any right to do so. "But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come upon her, and they deem it their duty as friends and neighbors to lend any aid they properly can to any instrumentality which promises to be effective in bringing about a settlement which will embody the real objects of the revolutionconstitutional government and the rights of the people. "Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry out for peace and for every self sacrifice that may be necessary to procure it. Her people cry out for food and will presently hate as much as they fear every man in their country or out of it who stands between them and their daily bread. "it is time therefore that the government of the United States should frankly state the policy which in these extraordinary circumstances it becomes its duty to adopt. It must presently do what it has not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do, lend its active moral support to some man or group of men. if such may be found, who can rally the suffering people of Mexico in an effort to ignore, if they can not unite, the warring factions of the country, return to the constitution of the republic so long in abeyance and set up a government at Mexico City which the great powers of the world can recognize and deal with. "I therefore publicly and solemnly call on the leaders of the factions in Mexico to act together and to act promptly for the release of redemption of their prostrate country. I feel it to be my duty to tell them that if they can not accommodate their differences and unite with this great purpose within a very short time, this government will be constrained to decide what means should be emploved by the United States in order to hely Mexico save herself and serve her people."

If we had a board of health with authority to disinfect thoroughly the house where a consumptive dies, to remove the family elsewhere for at least a month, opening all windows and doors so as to let the light and air in, it would at once reduce the consumption at least 50 per cent. Houses Hold Disease. Scientific men have shown by the most indisputable experiments that light, air and dryness will kill the tubercle bacillus and that a dark, damp, poorly ventilated house will keep them alive for many months. Even before the tubercle bacillus was discovered it was known that houses built in a damp situation had a high

consnmpttve death rate; and it was supposed in those days (that was before 1881) that dampness caused consumption. It is now known that dampness is a condition that keeps the real cause alive; darkness does the same thing: poor ventilation does the same thing. The vigor of men their ability to threw off disease of all kinds, including consumption is greatly helped by the opposite things. Wte can afford houses with yards all around the four aspects to the house, as much sun as possible. Flats ought not to be built in Richmond. I was called to see whether a man had consumption or not. He occupied a rear room of a flat, only one small window in it and so high I could not reach it. A consumptive in Richmond in a roo mwithout ventilation or sun.
bonded the state for $18,000,000.00 for roads. Los Angeles County bonded the county for $3,500,000.00 for a county road fund. They consider it a good investment. It is the farm communities in Southern California that own the automobiles. All of the roads are sign posted. This is done by the Auto Club of Southern California. Land is valued at from $300 to $500 per acre in Los Angeles county. "I hope thai your organization will sign post the National Road throughout the state of Indiana. I am very anxious that Indiana shall have a state highway department for main roads. Keep Up Endeavor. "I send this word to the Booster's club: 'Keep up the good work. There is no reason why Indiana should be behind California.' "The land in California is not as fertile as Indiana but they have the climate.

I serwl greetings to you and all the good roads boosters." "C. A. KENYON." "P.

Belgian guns are effectively bombarding the German position in Flanders, said the Belgian statement. A fierce artillery duel marked the day of May CI along the Belgian front. Belgian guns of all calibre massed their fire, blowing up the enemy's trenches and accessory defenses. All the roads beyond the German front are commanded by the "Belgian fire, making it difficult, for the enemy to bring up supplies-.

END INSANITY Continued From Page One. insanity will be reduced to a minimum." Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities and president of the conference, said every citizen in Richmond should awaken to the necessity of problems which the conference studies. Find Local Problems. "Every problem is a local problem," Mr. Butler said. "Every inmate of every institution comes from some county, some township, some city and from some home. It is the duty of each individual to find out why they are there and to prevent other members of his family and other citizens of his city from going in the same direction. It is a problem of prevention that we are studying and the conference is to find the cause so that we have weapons to fight with. "We know that some hospitals make people sick. Orphans homes to make children independent, often make them dependent. e believe we are trying to prevent crime, but we are making criminals by sending men to the county jails where most of the criminals are made. The state penal farm iz a big step away from the county jail. There are 275 men at the penal farm now. The conference will help the citizens to awaken to these conditions." One of the talks of chief interest at the meeting was that of Mrs. S. C. Stimson of Terre Haute, known there by the title, 'The Lady Who Let the Light in at Terre Haute." This title was gained through her prominent connection, with the expose of the election frauds. Mrs. Stimson played a prominent part in the Donn Roberts trial at Indianapolis. Poor Homes Cause Drink She called on the club women of the city to assist in removing causes of alcoholism, since alcoholism is being fought as a cause of insanity and charity.

the chief causes of alcoholism." said Mrs. Stimson. "People after are puzzled as to the reason men of a certain type are heaviest drinkers. Malnutrition caused by incorrect food and cold noonday lunches is the cause of the need of drink as stimulation. After working an tour or two on the poor nutrition he receives from a poor meal, a man is working on his nerve and by night, he is in a condition that craves for drink. "The club women of the city should attend the conference and get ideas on some really good work that can be accomplished. Social centers should be established in outlying districts. I do net favor sex segregation under such circumstances." Mrs. Stimson made reference to Terre Haute by saying the publicity received from the Donn Roberts case shows Terre Haute has a good citizenship. She said Terre Haute wiil ask for the 1916 state conference and that one of the conference days will be on election day to show what clean-up methods can accomplish. Specialization Required.
