Kendallville. —The mystery surrounding the sudden disappearance of Francis, two-and-one-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thurlow Shaffer of this city, who wandered away from his home last- Saturday and baffled the entire community, has been solved. The body of the child was discovered by a farmer, near Henderson Lake, at the mouth of a creek, a mile, distant from the Shaffer home. One supposition is that the baby fell into the creek, which Hows by the Shaffer home, and that the swift current carried the child’. 4 ? body to the edge of the jake, where it presumably had been for several days. Authorities, who believe that the child was murdered and hidden in the creek, are investigating.

Indianapolis.—A survey of the capacity of Indiana mills has been requested by the United States food administration from Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for the state. Mr. Barnard is compiling a j statement on the subject with partiej uhir attention to those that can mani ufacture wheat dour substitutes, such as cornmeal, hominy, corn flour, rolled oats and barley flour, ami all which are -preparing to manufacture substitutes. This step, Mr. Barnard believes. is another in the plan to enforce the strictest conservation of aK I bread making materials. Tfte continued seriousness of the wheat flour situation is emphasized, he says, with every message from Washington, and still further limitations on the use of wheat flour products are anticipated. Indianapolis.—“ This is a war call and a service for Uncle Sam, who is fighting for his life,” says a telegram received by Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, from the United States food administrator, Herbert Hoover. Mr. Hoover makes an emphatic appeal to all the farmers of the state to bring all their wheat, except necessary reserves for seed, to market before May 1. “The Indiana farmer is on the firing line. “He who withholds from the mills wheat that ought at this time to be ground into flour in order actually to prevent starvation is in a position identical with the man who, having powder, refuses to supply it to the artillery while the battlo-ls in progress,” says Mr. Barnard, in interpreting the Hoover telegram. | Indianapolis.—G. I. Christie, director of the food conservation and production committee of the state council of defense, has requested a decision from D. F. Houston, secretary of the United States department of agriculture, as to what authority may be invoked against persons whose land is allowed to lie idle during productive seasons. Professor Christie advises Secretary Houston: “There are many high-class, well-improved farms in Indiana which will not be operated by the owners this year. These people refuse to rent the laud. Some action must be taken or the land will remain idle. What action can be taken by the government to bring this land into use? Please advise procedure to be followed.” Washington, D.

Indianapolis.—The supreme court set the prohibition law test case from Evansville for oral argument at ten o’clock on April 2, the day the law is to go into effect, and gave each side , one hour for argument. This action was taken after attorneys for Edgar ( Schmitt, chief of police of Evansville, ] and attorneys for the F. W.

Gary.—Wartime farming methods ! used in England to bolster up food ( production are to be employed in Lake county, and the stillness of the Kankakee valley will soon be broken by the I noise of tractors and the glare of head-I lights. John A. Brown, a Gary and j Crown Point banker, announced he I would employ day and night forces on i his 6,000-acre ranch below Lowell. Fully one-half of this will be reserved for corn with rye supplanting wheat. The ranch also houses 500 head of cattle. North Vernon. —Chester A. Amick, assistant principal of the high school at Scipio, has resigned. Amick is alleged to have referred to the American government as the worst monarchy on earth.

NEWS REVIEW OF ! THE PAST WEEK ! Germans Open Great Attack on the British Front North of r St. Quentin. MAY BE THE SPRING DRIVE Allied Commanders Confident Their Lines Cannot Be Broken Seriously ) —Teutonic Penetration of Russia Continues—Shipping Question Most Serious — Dutch Vessels Are Seized. By E. W. PICKARD. “We are at the decisive moment of the war and one of the greatest moments in German history,” telegraphed the kaiser to the Rhenish provincial council, and thereupon, Thursday morning, his forces began a tremendous bombardment of a wide stretch of the British front north of St. Quenj tin. This was followed by attacks by : large masses of infantry which were ! hurled against the British front in i desperate efforts to break through. ( The assaults were extremely costly ’ to the enemy and up to the time of i writing had been of little avail, for ; though at some points the British ad- | vanced lines had been penetrated, Field Marshal Haig reported that on ! no part of the long front of attack i had the Germans attained their objec- ! tive. i Apparently Von Hindenburg was try- ) Ing to drive in a wedge on each side ( of the Cambrai salient, and at the same time his troops made vicious assaults on the French northeast of Verdun and near Reims, though these were conI sidered as diversions rather than parts of the main attack. The lines held l by the Americans in the Lorraine and j Toul sectors had not been assailed. The British were in no way sur- ( prised by the attack of Thursday, and . their commanders, met it with supreme j confidence. In every possible way they were prepared to meet the assault, of ’ which they had had ample warning. Whether this smash was really the opening of the threatened great Spring drive of the kaiser or not was uncertain, but American military experts doubted it. If it were, said they, it was the most hopeful sign of the war so far, for its defeat was certain. And such a defeat, they felt, would bring much closer the ultimate triumph of the cause of the allies. —ta— Intense aerial activity characterized the operations all along the west front last week. There were numerous combats, in which the allies generally had the best of it, and the British and French aviators made many raids on towns and military establishments back of the German lines. Mannheim especially was hard hit by the British. The American® flyers also were very busy and won praise by their skill and daring. These developments lend backing to the statement of one war correspondent that land fighting in France is temporarily in abeyance and that the allies expect to win the war there in the air, having already undoubted supremacy in that element. He asserts that if the Germans make their great drive it must be made blindly, and the allies will promptly send their immense navies of the air across and destroy rhe Hun’s lines of communications, depots and factories and his entire oi> ganization of supplies and re-enforce-ments. If this is the plan, there is the greater need for the United States to speed up its lagging production of battleplanes. The Providence Journal, heretofore remarkably well informed, asserts that in this respect the American aircraft program for 1918 is an absolute failure. —Me— While the kaiser delayed his big attack on the west front, the world has waited in considerable suspense to know what the plan of the allies may be. This rests with the supreme council at Versailles —in which Amer-

REPORT TROUBLE IN INDIA Natives in Baluchistan Attack British Posts, Is Official Statement Given Out at London. Uprisings on the part of natives in Baluchistan recently resulted in fighting in which many casualties were inflicted, the India office announces. The natives attacked British posts and were repulsed completely. Punitive measures are being undertaken. The official statement is aS follows: “The

ica is still unrepresented—and there is reason to believe that it will decide to take the offensive without waiting for the Germans to strike, as was intimated in these columns some weeks ago. It is believed that the council has at its disposal an Immense army made up of reserves of the various allied forces, and some wise observers think the first great attack will be made in Italy, though there will be enough doing in France and Belgium to keep the Germans busy and uncertain. Intense activity by both the Germans and French in the Verdun region, and certain movements In the American section toward Metz indicate coming operations of magnitude on those parts of the line. The French made some remarkably swift and successful raids, destroying enemy blockhouses and shelters that had taken three years to construct. On the Toul front the Americans were subjected to continuous shelling and the enemy also sent over airplanes that dropped large rubber balls filled with liquified mustard gas—a new form of attack. artillery maintained its recoM for accurate fire, driving the enemy from several strong positions and at times attacking the Germans heavily with gas shells. Secretary Baker in the course of his visit to General Pershing’s forces was under fire in the front line trenches, and one big shell exploded close to his automobile, but he escaped injury. On Tuesday General Pershing approved the awarding of the first of the hew American military crosses for bravery, the recipients being Lieut. John O. Green and Sergts. William Norton and Patrick Walsh. All of them previously had-»bepn decorated with the French war cross. —tain Russia, despite the acceptance of the peace treaty by the bolsheviki, the German armies have been steadily pressing forward, occupying town after town in the south, moving up toward Moscow and also approaching so close to Petrograd that the seizure of the capital city was said to be a matter of days or hours. All the allied diplomats left Petrograd, most of them retiring to Vologda, 350 miles east. American Ambassador Francis from there issued an address to the Russian people, warning them that if they subihitted to the peace imposed by the central powers Russia eventually would become a German province, and pledging the support of the American government to any government in Russia that would resist the German penetration. Mr. Francis acted without specific instructions from Washington, but his utterances received the full approval of the administration. The bolshevik government has been hurriedly moving to Moscow. Trotzky is there and says he will act as minister of war if there is to be more fighting. The new volunteer army is being organized rapidly, with renewed discipline, and the press and people, already somewhat disillusioned, cry out against the predatory ruthlessness of the Germans. The Transcaucasian assembly at Tiflis refused to ratify the peace treaty and demanded immediate war on Germany. The attitude of all the allies toward the bolshevik soviet is becoming more" sympathetic, but the hope of effective resistance is rather faint. The hand of the conqueror falls more and more heavily on Roumania, which is now required to give up to the central powers not only all of her own war munitions, but also those left in Roumania by the allies. If she yields to this demand the representatives of the allies will leave Jassy. —ta— The supreme war council of the allies at Versailles issued a statement denouncing Germany’s political crimes against Russia and Roumania and refusing to recognize the peace treaties with them. “We are fighting, and mean to continue fighting, in order to finish once for all with this policy of plunder,” said the council. In reply Chancellor von Hertliiy? asserted Germany had no intention of robbing or dishonoring Russia and accused the allies of hypocrisy, untruthfulness and brutality. —ta— There was no material change in the situation tn the far East, but the opposition to Japan’s plan to occupy Vladivostok seemed to Increase because of the persistent distrust of the island em-

India office announces that the attitude of the Maris in Baluchistan, which had been unsatisfactory for some time, recently culminated in a series of outrages. They organized and carried out attacks in force on our posts at Gumbaz and Fort Munro, where they were completely repulsed. They suffered many casualties. “Their attitude, however, is still defiant. Punitive measures ar* being undertaken against them. Our airplanes on twp occasions recently bombed tribal concentrations with effect.”

pire's good faith. Trotzky warned the world that Germany and Japan had agreed to divide Russia between them, but Trotzky’s opinions are no longer entitled to very serious consideration. —ta— Early Thursday morning two British and destroyers engaged a of Germa.) destroyers off Dunkerquq, and when the fight was over four enemy vessels had been sunk. One British destroyer was damaged, but the allied casualties were slight. The same day Ostend was heavily bombarded by British monitors and Helgoland Was attacked by airplanes. —ta — Eloquent argument having failed to bring the Teutonic rulers to their senses or the Teutonic peoples to a realization of the truth, and encouragement and sympathy having met with no response from the Russians. President Wilson seems to have decided that action, quick and forcible, is the only thing that will bring the war to a close. He cheered up the country immensely by calling into conference the heads of the various war boards, who had been named as advisers to the chairman of the war industries board in establishing co-ordina-tion. He impressed upon these men again the need of harmonizing their work in order to hurry up shipbuilding, increase shipping facilities and provide materials for the production of munitions. The shipbuilding question is the most pressing one, and the government is somewhat disturbed by the uncertain labor situation. It intends to adopt a definite labor policy, as did England, but this has not yet been formulated. The matter of also came to the front again In England, and in response to public demand Sir Erid Geddes, first lord of the admirißty, gave out figures on the results st the submarine warfare. Total losses to the allies and neutral nations since the beginning of the war, he said, were 6,000,060 tons, and he admitted the monthly losses are 126,000 tons greater than the new ships built. To correct this, Sir John Jellicoe is to devote himself to combating the- submarine, Lord Pirrie has been made governor general of merchant ship building and all available men in the country will be put to building ships. Premier Lloyd-George said that by special effort the deficiency could be made good in British shipyards alone. A great help in solving this transport problem is the seizure of about a million tons of Dutch shipping by the United States and England. This was accomplished on Wednesday after the Netherlands government had refused to put into effect its voluntary agreement to restore its merchant marine to normal activity. Most of the vessels taken will be used in carrying food from America to Europe, and President Wilson says Holland will receive ample supplies of foodstuffs, in accordance with the original pact. Germany, of course, has warned the Dutch that their ships now will be sunk, but it never has shown much regard for the rights of neutral ships outside the proscribed zone. —ta— After being assailed in vain by the Republicans, the administration bill to establish a war finance corporation was passed by the house Thursday with only two opposing votes. On the same day the president signed the bill which brings the railroads under government operation and control until 21 months after the end of the war. —ta — Agricultural interests were relieved of anxiety by an order of the war department permitting men engaged in planting or cultivating crops to continue their work until finished, although their draft numbers are reached. This does not apply to dairyworkers. —ta— Wisconsin, smarting under the imputations of disloyalty caused by La Follette and his doings and sayings, undertook to redeem herself in the senatorial primaries, and succeeded in a measure. Joseph E. Davies, backed by the national administration, easily won the Democratic nomination, but Congressman Lenroot had a hard task defeating James Thompson, the La Follette candidate, for the Republican choice. The Socialist vote, unexpectedly heavy, was cast for Victor Berber, who is under indictment for violating the espionage act.

Baluchistan is situated on the Arabian sea, bounded on the west by Persia and the north by Afghanistan. In the mtiin it occupies the position of a British protectorate, and part of it is directly subject to Britain. There have been several disturbances in the outlying portions of the Indian empire during the war, although none of them previously reported has been of importance. The Germans have gone to great lengths with propaganda and conspiracies in attempts to stir up disaffection in Indio.

WIFE AHIANAGER Something for Which Too Few Hubbies Give Her Credit. But Really, When You Look at the Matter Closely, the Proper Conducting of a Home Requires Some Thought. Many a business man goeslhome in the evening, removes his coat, sinks into an easy chair and breathes a deep sigh of relief. When asked why his brow is furrowed he responds that he has had a terrible day. Perhaps hqj had letters to dictate. He had to confer with his associates and he had to talk to some customers. He spent an hour or more at lunch and he quit about five o'clock. He had a busy day and when home is reached he feels that he is entitled to some rest and quiet. ' Such a man rarely thinks of his wife as a manager, remarks the Indianapolis News. He does not recall that she may have been up before him. He forgets that she planned the breakfast — and, in many instances, cooked it as well. After breakfast is finished there are dishes to be washed and the kitchen must be put to rights. Perhaps that is a general cleaning day for the whole hduse: and there always is dust to chase as well as dirt to sweep out or take up in the new-fangled cleaner. The beds have to be made and a score of other household duties need attention. If there are children they demand this, that and tjje other. If there is a little baby in the house it must be bathed and put to sleep for its morning nap. Then there is a noon meal to get, as well as various other little things constantly coming up. The afternoon will be spent in many ways. A great many women spend it in work; They order groceries and they order meat. They buy the household supplies, and the good housekeeper keeps an accurate account of her expenditures. Toward evening she has to plan the dinner and when the children come home she must look after them. Later, she has the job of putting them to bed. Meanwhile she has had time, very likely, to read a magazine, to knit a little for softie soldier or to play the piano? She may have found time to go shopping or to make a few calls. She makes no particular complaint about the routine she has gone through because she does it every day. . Thousands of women show more executive ability in running their own homes than their, husbands show in running their business. Yet there are many husbands who do not give their wives credit for having any business sense. Some of them who say that women belong in the home never realize what a home is. One of these executive experts would be at a loss in a great many eases if he undertook the job of running his own house for a period of 24 hours. Saved Shipmate’s Life. Few reports of heroism made to the navy department are more remarkable than that concerning James Marlco,. ship cook, first class, who will probably receive a gold life-saving medal, in addition to the letter of commendation sent him by the secretary of the navy. In the midst of a terrific gale Chief Quartermaster Eddker H. Robertson. U. S. N.. was washed overboard from the U. S. S. Smith, while attempting to clear a jam in the steering gear. Exhausted by the cold amrrough sea. Robertson could no longer«help himself, when Marcio. tying a line to his waist, jumped into the water. Catching the quartermaster, he clung to the half drowned man until the two were hauled aboard. Not only was the act of Marcio’s one of great heroism, but the test of his courage was shown the chance he took with such a rough sea. The gale at the time was one of the worst in years and the ship was rolling at fifty-five degrees. This young hero enlisted in the navy in April, 1914, at Philadelphia. Frederick’s Reply. Frederick Wallace Grayston, age four, astounded and delighted his parents. Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Grayson, of Huntington, one morning recently when he quoted Scripture to them. The family was having pancakes for breakfast and Frederick Wallace’s plate was empty. His mother had two cakes, and was going to share with him. when his father suggested he wait for the cook to bring in the warm cakes. “Daddy,” the small son questioned, “do you remember what they told us at Sunday school?” Os course daddy wanted to know what was in the youthful, mind, so he professed ignorance. “Be thou kind, one to another,” was the astonishing rejoinder. Dr. Grayson hastened to assure F. W. Jr., that he was not scolding, and got this answer: “Yes, I know, daddy, but mother w’as going to be kind to me.”—lndianapolis News. For Him Who Dares. The United States government is to give official recognition to acts of bravery on the field of battle by individual officers and enlisted men. There has been for many years what is known as the Congressional Medal of Honor, whiclf is bestowed on soldiers who perform deeds of daring in the face of the enemy. It is the heart’s desire of every American soldier to win this decoration, for it is this country's equivalent of the Victoria cross of Great Britain and of the Croix de Guerre of France. Whale Margarine. Owing to shortness of provisions in Norway, hardened whale fat.is being used for margarine, according to information from! the department of commerce. This department also states that whale catching off the coast of Norway, which has been prohibited by law for some years, is to be commenced on goverament account. Denmark has been using hardened whale fat in the margarine industry for some years, and no injurious effects on the users have been reported.

In the ■ everyday walks of life, it is the spring time that brings ill health. One of the chief reasons why the run-down man finds himself in a bad state of health in March or April, is because he has spent nearly all his hours for the past four or five months penned up within the walls of house, factory or office. It is the reason for our diminished resistance—that is, lack of out-door life, coupled with perhaps over-eating, lack of good exercise, insufficient sleep, and constipation. In other words, we keep feeding the furnace with food but do not take out the “clinkers,” and our fire does not burn brightly. Always keep the liver active. There is nothing better for health than ! taking an occasional mild laxative, per- ! haps once a week; such a one as you j can get at any drug store, made up of ( May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated, ( tiny, easily taken ), which has stood the test of fifty years of approval—namely. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. But for the “Spring Fever,” the general run-down condition, the lack of ambition, the “blues,” one should take a course of treatment every spring; such a standard tonic as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, now to be had in tablet form in sixty-cent vials.
