GERMANS SAVE CANS

BT JAMES O'DONNELL BENNETT.
Published by arrangement with Chi

PIXSK, Kussia. Feb. 25. For inge
nious makeshifts fashioned from what
we in America would consider waste
material, the German soldier is not to
be beaten.
In an outer room of the slaughter
house of a dismounted cavalry division,
where I was this morning, I saw. piles
of old tin cans sorted in two sizes.
"What are these for?" I asked the
soldier who was continuing the sort
ing. "Come inside, please," he said.
In one corner of a large room to
which he showed the way another sol
dier was sorting and trimming bits of
fat brought to him after the morn

Ohio Physician.
Dr. y. M. Edwards for 17 Tears treat

to hiM D&tienta a DrescriDtion made of a
lew well-known vegetable ingredients
mixed with olive oil, naming mem Or.
Kdwards" Olive Tablets, you will know
inpm bv their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
tne liver and bowels, which cause a
normal action, carrying off the waste
ana poisonous matter that one's sys
tem collects.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
in n eves. DimDles. coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feelinr. all
out of sorts, in active bowels, you take
one of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
nightly for a time and note the pleas

pieces he tossed them into a big ket
tle, where tallow was being made.
Another soldier was packing cleaned
and straightened tin cans three-quarters
full of sand. When he had fin
ished his work the remaining space in
each tin was filled with hot tallow and
wicks of fiber were stuck in.
Candles Burn 12 Hours.
Then they had a candle that would
burn 12 hours and that was extraordi
narily safe, owing to its casing of tin.
No. the sand Is not put in to. weight
the candle and keep it from tipping
over," the soldier said. "You see, if we
filled the whole can with tallow we
would get no light from It as it burned
toward the bottom, because the can is
so deep. So we buila it up with three
quarters of sand. In a way these half
sized cans make better candles, but
they burn only six hours."
The training which so many thou
sands of German soldiers receive as
boys in the craft schools to which Ger
man employers are compelled to send
their apprentices has been of immense
advantage to the men making the
campaign in Russia.
Soldiers Are Alfto Artisans.
In a land where some of the most
primitive conveniences of existence are
lacking, the German soldier, who is an
artisan as well as a soldier, has been
able to fashion with his own hands
and a few simple tools dozens of things
that contribute to comfort under hard
conditions and that occasionally give
a touch of elegance to his surroundings.
Typical of these last are the chan
deliers of hammered iron in the offi
cers' casino at Brest Litovsk.
When the Germans settled themselves
in the fortress they found the. elec
trical fixtures had been torn out by the
Russians during their ' evacuation of
Brest. The soldier-craftsmen were
called upon to supply the deficiency.
In a few days they had fashioned out
of odds and ends of metal a set of
stately chandeliers which were-hung
over the long tables where the gover
nor of the fortress and nis stall aine
every evening.

CRUISER DECLARED SUNK
,ernians Say Briton Was Lost Mid
tile of February.
BERLIN, April 3. (By wireless to
Sayville. N. Y.) The Overseas News
Agency says:
"The Cologne Gazette has obtained
reports from reliable sources that about
the middle of February a British ar
mored cruiser of the county class,
struck a mine and sank. It is supposed
the lost cruiser was the Donegal."
WASHINGTON, April 3 An account
of the torpedoing of the Franco-Russian
hospital ship Portugal in the Black
Sea March 30 with the loss of many
lives, including those of Red Cross of
ficials and Sisters of Charity, was
cabled from Petrograd to the Russian
Embassy here today and probably will
be filed with the State Department for
its information. The Turkish govern
ment has officially denied that any of
its submarines made the attack, and
it is assumed in allied diplomatic quar
ters here that the Portugal was the
victim of an Austrian craft. "
Following is the dispatch to the em
bassy: "On March 30 at 8:30 A. M. the
Franco-Russian hospital ship Portugal,
proceeding to the south coast of the
Black Sea to take over wounded sol
diers, stopped her engines in eight of
Fatish, four miles from the coast, and
began pumping out some barges, when
an enemy submarine appeared, and
after circling around the ship for some
time, chose a position about 100 yards
from her and launched at her two tor
.pedoes. The first torpedo missed the
Portugal, but the second struck her
amidship, the boilers exploding and the
ship breaking in two and sinking in on 9.4
minute and a half.
"The persons aboard, consisting of
the ship's permanent staff and a de
tachment of the Red Cross, numbered
272, all told, of which 87 are missing.
The following Russians perished:
"Red Cross Delegate Count Tistcheff,
Superintendent Baroness Meyendorff,
Inspectress Jikhmemff. Sisters of Char
ity, Baroness Armskofen. Alexandroff,
Likstansky, Vassailieff, Vorchorff,
Medziksovsky. Rotvinsky, Voronoff and
Minaeff, First Mate Dantz and As
sistant Surgeon" Nemtchenko. One of
ficer, 20 male nurses and 21 sailors
of the French contingent also perished,
and Minister Georgetts, 19 of the crew
and four servants."

POISON PROBE SPREADING
Peck Physician Says He Did Not
Suspect Walte's Act.
NEW YORK, April 3. With the pros
pect that Dr. Arthur Warren Waite
will be arraigned Thursday to answer
to the charge of poisoning his father-in-law,
John Peck, of Grand Rapids,
Mich., the District Attorney's office is
busy compiling its evidence against the
young dentist. Waite was able to sit
up today in his room in Bellevue Hos
pital for the first time since his ar
rest. Persons interrogated by the District
Attorney's staff today were Autumn
Hall, a violinist, said to be a close
friend of Mrs. Margaret Horton, who
shared a "studio" with Dr. Waite; Dr.
Aibertus A. Moore, who attended Mr.
Peck in his last illness; Miss Lynch,
nurse for Mrs. Peck, who died in Dr.
Waite's apartment here shortly before
her husband, and a man named
Kroeger, a former partner of Eugene
Oliver Kane, the embalmer who admit
ted receiving money fromDr. Waite.

aroused when Mr." Peck died. If arsenic
was administered to the aged man, the

quantities.

-Menacing at Dallas.
DALLAS, Tex., April 3. After rising
slightly further today, the Trinity Riv
er at Dallas tonight stood 39.4 feet, the
highest since May, 1908, when a stage
of 62.6 feet was recorded. The river

north of Dallas reported the river slow
ly falling, and it is believed the crest
will pass Dallas tonight or tomorrow.

rain has caused considerable loss in
livestock in the Panhandle and western
sections of Texas, which probably 'will
run into hundreds of thousands of
dollars.

three partners individually.
GAPLAN ATTORNEYS QUIT
ALLEGED DYNAMITERS IX COURT
WITHOUT FINDS, TOO.
Prisoners Unable to Explain Action of
Union-Employed Counsel Fellow
Jews Provide Defense.
LOS ANGELES, April 3. David Cap
Ian, alleged dynamiter of the Los An
geles Times building, who faced a
murder charge today without at
torneys to defend him and with no la
bor union funds for his defense, ac
cording to Caplan, was prepared to
night for trial Wednesday with Jacob
Margolin, of Pittsburg, as his counsel
and supported by funds raised by fel
low Jews.
-Margolis arose in court today, un
heralded, and took over the defense of
Caplan after the prisoner told Judge
Frank R. Willis that he did not Irnuw
why his attorneys were not in court.
A moment before it had been an
nounced that Nathan C. Coghlan and
Edwin V. McKeniie, of San Fri
cisco. had withdrawn from the de
fense. Job Harriman, James H. Rick
nian and Fred H. Moore, of Los An
geles, who appeared with Coghlan and
McKenzie in the trial of Mathew A.
Schmidt, convicted in the Times case
last December, did not appear. Moqre
was in court, but had withdrawn from
the case. Harriman was out of town.
Richman said: "I don't know anything
about it." Hyman Levin, a law clerk
in Harriman's office, who sat with
Caplan, where the group of attorneys
were expected to be, asked Judge
Willis for a continuance, which was
granted until Wednesday.
If counsel did not appear then. Judge
Willis said, he would appoint a public
defender.
When' the reasons for these things
were sought, Caplan and Margolis
here, and Olaf A. Tveitmoe, secretary
treasurer of the State Building Trades
Council, and Coghlan, at San Francis
co, gave the explanations.
Tveitmoe and Coghlan said Caplan
and Margolis differed as to the "policy"
to be pursued in the trial. What this
"policy" might mean none would say.
Margolis said to reveal it might jeop
ardize Caplan's defense.
Caplan said positively, contradicting
Tveitmoe, that -the defense fund raised
by labor unions had been spent. He
said Margolis was sent here by Jews
in the Kast who employed him and
will pay him.
