LIVES AS MAN 12 YEARS; FEARS DRAFT, IS SUICIDE "Samuel Ackerman" Had Been Married and Divorced Dur ing Her Career TOLrcDO, O , Aug. 3. Fear that she might be apprehended as a slacker and the army physical examina tion disclose the tuche-year secret of her sex was bclleed by the police today to have caused "Samuel Ackerman," a woman, to end Tier life by drowning. For twelve years "Samuel Ackerman" had posed as a man, successfully support ing herself and for a time a "wife" through a man's work. But the army draft threatened exposure. Though only twenty nine years of age, she did not register. Police believe the Idea of "becoming a woman" again was repugnant to her. With no alternative left, she killed herself. This theory was glen additional weight by a letter found on tho body, which Indi cated she wished even In death to keep her secret. "Dear brother and friends," she wrote, "I have no one to claim my body I wish you to bury mo as you will find mo." Ackerman's "wife," a New York woman, obtained a divorce tv.o jears ago, nine years after her marriage to "Ackerman." Now she Is Mrs Sarah Wise, the mother of a year-old child. Wise kept callers from his wife today, Insisting no onu could tee her. "Ackermann," whose real name Is un known, was for a time an optician. At another time "he" was employed by the city as a water meter reader. Clothing on the body was of fine tex ture. The woman wore a gray coat, gray trousers and brown oxfords, a white shirt, collar. Silk socks and men's underwear completed her attire. All marks of Identi fication had been iemoed. An iron plate was fastened to her belt with a handker chief. She weighed about 125 pounds. "Sarnh Ackerman's" petition for dlorce from "Samuel" wan filed ln Common Pleas" Court hqre on April 8, 1914. The plaintiff charged neglect, nonsupport and extreme cruelty. Sho said they were married In Hoboken, N". J., nine years prclous to tho lll.ng of the petition. Seilce by publica tion was made on Ackerman at 28 Hand street, Rochester, N. Y. The divorce waa granted on June 19, 1914.

To offset the "evil Influences tha't are at work" President Wilson today wrote to Representative Dyer, of Missouri, to ex press again his confidence ln the loyalty of most citizens of German blood ln this country. Dyer wrote to the President complaining of persecution of German-Americans In St. Louis by Government officials. He quoted as one Instance the case of Otto Sassmann, St. Louis railway mall clerk, discharged for "disloyalty." Dyer found Sassmann had been In the Government service for sixteen years and had served In tho Spanish War, subscribed for Liberty Bonds, con tributed to the Red Cro's, and flown The Stars and Stripes from his homo since the declaration of wai with Germany. "Your letters st.jck a responsive chord In my mind," the President replied. "I have been aware from variout sources of tho unfortunate position ln which a very large number of our loyal fellow-citizens are placed because of their German origin or nrnilatlon. "I am sure they need no further assur ance from me of my confidence in their entire Integrity and loyalty of the great body of our cltlzjns of German blood. You know thnt not once hut many times In my public addresses I have expressed this con fidence. I do not like to make another occasion to express It simply because It would seem to Indicate on my part a doubt as to whether the country had believed my previous assurances to be sincere. May I not very respectfully suggest that It would be easy to make use of the passages I have referred to from my former addresses to do something. I hopo not a little, to offset the evil Influences that aro at work." PnTROGRAD, Aug. 3. The Provisional Government hasrofused to acknowledge Finland's Independence law, and has, Instead, Issued a manifesto dls solving the Landtag nnd appointing a gen )ral e'ectlon on OctouV 1, declaring that the Government, when tho Landtag meets, will submit Its own law regulating Russo Finnish relations. Tho manifesto, which Is signed by all ten Ministers, expounds the Provisional Government's contention that Finland en Joys Independence only within the limits defined by her constitution, tho esscntlnl factor of which Is tho position of the Em peror nnd Grand Duke, which has now passed tn the Provisional Government. Tho Independence law, tho manifesto sas, not being submitted for the sanction of tho I rovlslonal Government, aa the authority Invested with the former Grand Duke's right of sanction, Is unconstitutional, nnd further dec arcs that the Government can not "recognize tho Finnish Landtag's right arbitrarily to seize the freedom of will of tho coming constitutional assembly." The fate of Finland can be decided only In agreement with the Russian people, the manifesto declares The Minister for Flnlnnd took the mani festo to Helslngfors nnd delivered It to Governor General Stakovlch. who read it to tho Senate, after which he made a friendly speech, In which he said, "This manifesto Is the most democratic action jet performed by the revolutionary Gov ernment, for it makes Finland's people master of their own destiny." The Landtag Is expected to decide Its courso of action. The Socialist majority threatens to defy tho manifesto and con tinue In session, while the non-Soclallsts ex pect to obey it.

S ALLIES TO START BALKAN CAMPAIGN Italy's Resentment Cools as Entente Promises Support Against Austria , U. S. REMAINS SILENT WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. Big offensive operations In the Bnlltans against the Teutons will come soon, Allied ngents hero said today. This development Is u result of recent conferences hero and nbrond among Allied dlptomits and bears more or less directly on Italy's recent de mands for more active work against Aus tria. Italy's Irritation had subsided to a marked degreo today, Russia has sided with her In the demand that the United States declare war on Austria nnd ap parently the other Entente nations have told Itii y there will be no Immcdlato sepa rate peace with Austria, tho thing Italy opposed. The details of the proposed Balkan cam paign nre not disclosed further than thnt they are aimed nt convincing Austria there will be no pence while f!io hangs on to Germany. At tho same tlmo pressure on Russia would be relieved. Soma officials who bellevo America's em bargo will win tho conflict havo felt It would be well not to war on Austria at this time; thnt Instead, peace pressure might bo brought against her. But pome Allied diplomats believe Austria Is only a pawn In the Kaiser's game, nnd that she would not yield without tho Kaiser's ap proval. It Is regarded as significant that peace talk out of Vienna Is now bein; loudly cheered by representative Germnn news papers. Mennwhllo It appears Italy has been prom ised the supplies and money she has sought. Anyhow, her diplomats here had ceased their complaining today and felt much better nbout the future. The State Department remains silent on the Austrian situation. Montana Laborers Back to Work BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 3.
