KILLED 'HIS WIFE AND _ FOUR CHILDREN WITH AN AXE im ' Kleeman, a Minnesota Far- mer, Therr Hanged Himself. :Redwood Falls, Minn., March 26.— Wilkam Kleeman, a young farmer, who lived mear Clement, killed his wife and four children with an axe, then himself some time between m night and this morning. The ‘podies were found. today in the et Lone Tha man is believed ‘have brooded over debt: 4 ! Sti'll&nnhnz 2d-as laborers by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and all residents of Westerly, were at the railway station, dinner pails in hand and fully equipped for work, Monday morning, but instead they returned to their ' homes. These .men in the main are known as. worktrain men, but eome are section men. They have been employed for ten hours a day upon a wage scale of $2 per diem, and they led an increase or $1 a day, or $18 a week of six work days. len this demand was not acceded to by the foremen, who were without author- ity to grant the increase, the men went out on strike. They are unor- ganized, yet one of the strikers asse: ed that the demand for increase of pay came from all the laborers employed by the railroad company between Providence nad New London, inclu- sive. The members of the Westerly union of hod carriers and building trades la- borers have notified employers that the wage scale must be $3.50 for an eight hour day, beginning April 1. If the ‘demand is not henored, it is said that these men will go on strike, and remain out until the increase is grant- ed. The claim is made that an increase in wages is necessary in order to meet the increased cost of living. Miss Mary E, Nichols of Hope Valley and Mrs. D. W.

The Associated Press correspondent watched today's engagement from a nearby height and saw the French soldiers gradually oc- Cupy with a precision little short of marvelous. The French French troops had ir dash had kept close on the heels of th> retiring Germans since they quit Soissons, never giving them a moment’s respite until the pursuers occupied the sort of triansle formed by the three points of Crouy, Missy- sur-Aisnc and Pont Rouge on the Maubeuge road. At the last named point the Ger- mans evidently expected to cease their retirement, as was shown by their abandoning the useless work of saw- ing down fruit trees. It was this wanton devastation® by the Germans in the country around Soissons and other places which so incensed the French infantry. com- posed mostly of peasants and farmers, that they could scarcely be restrained from a desperatc rush forward after the retreating foe. But prudence pre- vailed and careful handling enabled them eventually to capture from the Germans many positions which had been prepared for stern defense such as Vuillery and Pont Rouge. As the dbrréspondent watched the countryside over which the attacking troops_were proceeding not a vestige could be seen of the advancing men on foot. They trickled through un- der cover of the brush wood until they had assembled in_sufficient strength and near enough for striking a blow. Meanwhile German airmen circled overhead unable to locate them. Then an inferno of artillery fire broke forth from the French guns, after which a final spurt by the infantry carried the position. which on this_occasion was a big farmhouse near Margival. This was held 'in the face of desperate counter-attacks. The Germans themselves had few trenches in this vicinity, relying for the most-part on organized centers of resistance and their heavy artillery. The correspondent had come up from Soissons through a territory laid waste as had been the countryside every- where else where the Germans had been forced to evacuate. Soissons it- sif 'is still bombarded almost daily and the final effort before the Germans left the adjacent trenches on March 18 was an endeavor to set fire to the town and the much-battered cathe- dral. The latter was showered with incendiary shells, but these died out without effecting the heavy stone roof. The remainder of the cathedral had been much damaged during the pre- ceding bombardment and a German officer’s diary found in an abandoned battery position shows that the at- tempt to destroy it was methodical. To Organize Regiments of Sioux Tribes. Kansas City, March 26—Permission to organize the Sioux tribes into reg- iments in case of hostilities will be asked of the government by William Harrison, a Sioux Indian chief and lawyer, who passed through Kansas City, Kas., today on his way to Wash- ington. He said he could recruit 25 000 to 30,000 Indians for service. Berlin—The brick yards. will com- mence to pump out their clay pits, this week, premntnry making brick. LONGER SESSIONS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS The Desire of Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor of the Exchequer. London. March 2 drew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, today asked the house of commons, in order to ekpyditbe busi- ness, to suspend until Easter the rule under which the house rises at 11 o clock daily. John Dillon. nationalist member for Kast Mayo, thereupon gravely warned the government “un- der a deep sense of responsibility that if it allowed ster recess to pass without any indication eof whether it was in earnest with rezard nd its path would be heset with and it might find the sit- ban before. °nry Dalziel, Libe: member for Kirkcaldy Burghs, having stated that since the debate of last Premier T.loyd George had v possible moment t> the ireland, Mr. Bonur law added that the zovernment had a full sense of responsibility in this matter and that there would b2 no avaidable delay, bat that the government, though it would make a statement if possible, could not absolutely promise it before Easter.

SPEEDING UP OF THE FOODSTUFFS PRODUCTION An Important Essential of Assisting in War Against Germany. 5.50 m.—An- Washington, March 26.—Government officials look, upon the speeding up of the foodstuffs production in the Uni ed States as one of the most impor- tant means of assisting in the war against Germany, should the United States take an active part. “Of the most important two things that this country could do for its al- lies in case of war—namely to finance and to feed them—perhaps the more important is to maintain a steady flow of foodstuffs to their shores,” says an authorized statement by Assistant Secretary Vrooman, of the department of agriculture. It looks, the statement adds, as if it would be a good bu. ness stroke for the farmer this spring to sow his normal oats acreage to spring wheat and “it is certain that it would be a valuable step in- the di- rection of national agricultural pre- paredness.” FARMING POPULATION OF GERMANY NOW FEELS STRESS Now Sharing With City Residents Ef- fects of Food Shortage. ‘openhagen, via London, March 26, 7.56 p. m.—The hevday of the farming population of Germany, a large oro- portion of which has been suffering from no such shortage of meats, bread, milk, cheese and other products ‘as the city 'and industrial classe under the ration system, apparently is over un- der a new law which has just been promulgated by fhe German official organ, in which the military authori- ties are irivoked to-enforce obedience to_the food regulations.

ADMISSION OF WOMEN AS LAY DELEGATES To Be Recommended to Convention of Episcopal Diccese of Massachusetts. Boston. March 26.—Announcement was made today that the admission of women as lay delegates to the con- ventions of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts would be recommended by a committee appointed to consider the matter as the diocesan convention last year. The appointment of the committee was the result of a spirited debate over a ruling that a woman, accredited as a delegate from a church at Cohasset. could not be seated on constitutional grounds. The commit- tee, by a vote of 7 to 4, held that the constitution and canons should be changed to make women eligible. The report was to be acted on at the annual convention lere on Agril RUMORS OF ALLEGED GERMAN PLOTS IN MILWAUKEE Are Being Investigated by a Squad of h 26—It was rumor- building here today that the > auizzing of a “dozen men, all said to be Germans, was in connection with an investigation of alleged Ger- man plots in Milwaukee.
