SCHOOL TEACHER PREVENTS WRECK

TOLEDO, O., April 5. Discovering a tie spiked across the Baltimore and Ohio track ten miles south of Toledo, near Perryburg, last evening, Grace Doyle, 20, a country school teacher at Roachtown, ran down the track, removed her coat and with it flagged a train, approaching rapidly. It was a freight, 'followed closely by a heavy troop train. It took the freight crew twenty-five minutes to remove the obstruction. Several troop trains had passed there within a few days, and it was evident that the person who spiked the plank to the track had information that another was approaching. Federal authorities have been notified.

DRIVEN LIKE CATTLE. BRUSSELS "Mgr. Ladeuze, head of the university, and Mgr. de Becker, head of the American college, were among the clergymen severely tortured while being driven ahead of the German army in its advance on this city. Several of them, including Father Depierreaux, a Jesuit, were shot on the road. Women and children remained without food at the depot all day August 26th. They were forced to witness the execution of about twenty of their fellow citizens, Including several priests, who, bound together in groups of four, were shot by German soldiers. After each volley was fired, the bystanders, on threat of their own execution, were forced to applaud. "Old men, women, children, sick people, lunatics from the asylums, priests, nuns were brutally driven like cattle about the road. They were forced in different directions, required to kneel and lift their arms each time they met a German

soldier or officer; left without food

during the day and without shelter

during the night. Many died on the way. Others, among them women, children and priests, who were unable to follow, were shot dead. More than ten thousand of them were driven as far as Tirlemont, fifteen miles from Louvain. Their sufferings are beyond description. And yet the thousands above referred to were unarmed, peaceloving, law-abiding, defenseless citizens of a neutral country which Germany had pledged her national honor to shield and protect. In this war Germany knows no such thing as International Law, human rights have been set aside and sheet brutality scientifically applied is a fixed policy. These things happen in Belgium. That they may not happen here, Liberty Loan Bonds are being offered to the people of the United States

government.

let up. I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a splendid remedy and always recom

mend them. 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

OFFICIALS FEAR MORE LYNCHINGS

WASHINGTON, April 5. Until the federal government is given power to punish persons making disloyal utterances, department of justice officials fear more lynchlngs, such as that of

Robert P. Prager, a German, at Col-

llnsville, 111., last night. This was the first report reaching here of such ex

treme mob violence to a German, al

though officials who have observed the general feeling against Germans

have feared such occurrences. The government has no authority to take action against the lynchers. Officials of the department of Justice deplored the act and expressed the hope that state or local authorities would speedily punish the lynchers. At the same time, it was pointed out that as soon as congress passe the pending bill making it a federal offense to speak or write obviously disloyal criticism of tbe United States in tbe war, the government can punish these acts and reduce the danger of mob action.

Mrs. Ida Williams, 421 West Tenth street, Indianapolis, was all run down for a long time but since she has been

taking Tanlac her appetite has come back and she is a great deal stronger.

It brought back my appetite in fine shape and I finally got so I could hardly get enough to eat. Then I started getting back

my strength and I am really feeling strong now. I sleep good a t night now too, and I think that my health is as

good as It ever was before.

Thousands of men and women take

Tanlac each spring to get their sys

tems back in shape after the winter. Tanlac tones up the whole system and brings a healthy appetite and a stronger body. You can get Tanlac at the Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores, or any other good drug store. Adv.

Woollen Urges Householders

to Begin Storing Supply Early. No word as to the change, If any are to be made tn tbe mine price of Indiana coal, had been received from Washington at tbe office of tbe state fuel administration at Indianapolis sp to last night. Definite Information on tbe vabject has ben expected for two weeks. Brans WooDen, Federal fad admin

Indiana win be In no better condition

for eoal next winter than last if tbe domestle consumer does sot, at once, lay tn bis winter supply. "Householders should lay tn now their coal for next winter." ssdd lr. Woollen. 1 Orvea Reasons for Storing. There are two reasons. They eaa not otherwise protect themselves against the chance of not having coal when they need it I say this because I bellsrve It likely there will be leas coal for distribution tn Tndtena next winter Chan fhera were last wtatar. The second reason t that. In tbs Interest of the movement of monitions and other war supplies, our railroads should be spared the burden of hauling domestic coal under the unfavorable transportation conditions of tbs winter. Tt Is accordingly unpatriotic as well

as imprudent, for the houae bolder to delay getting his winter's snppty. Indiana coal can be stored safety . There need be no apprehension about that by householders. They should, however, Insist on hastes; bnnp eoaL" It was stated at the fuel administration test night slow movement of anthracite coal ordered to protect brooders in the state, is Chreatenlns; tbe early batches of chickens. Thar barve been ordered through the fuel adminlstratlan no lees than thirty cars of anthracite coal tor brooder purposes.
