VANDALS TURN GREAT GUNS ON . ANOTHER CITY Incendiary Shells, at Order of Crown Prince, Ruin Amiens By Associated Press On the French Front in' France, Wednesday, May 9.—The German ar tillery, under orders from the Prus sian and Bavarian Crown Princes, is doing its utmost to turn Amiens into Rheims. Picardy's capital already suffered terribly from this effort to carry out the German idea of striking terror into the Fatherland's enemies'by the destruc- FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS A New Home Cure Thnt Anyone Cn IHe Without Dlncomfort or l.oMx of Time We have a New Method that cures Asthma, and we want you to try it at our expense.

The correspondent to-day went all over the abandoned city and observed the effects of the bombardment, which has turned parts of the town into heaps of ruins and killed fifty two men civilians, thirty women and tive children, besides wounding six ty-two men, forty-eight women and nineteen children before the popula tion had an opportunity to evacuate the place. Since the Germans have been within cannon shot of Amiens they have hurled no fewer 'than 5.800 shells, mostly six-inch and eight inch, into the city. Every indication points to a systematic effort to de stroy the public buildings, as the cathedral has been struck by shells which have piffrced the roof and walls, and the object ot firing in cessantly upon the town cannot be explained except upon the assump tion that it is carried out with the purely barbarous idea of the de struction of the beautiful objects It contains. This follows from the fact that no troops whatever are in the city and that the railroad passing through it is not in use. The cannonade gen erally ceases at nightfall, only- to be replaced by air raids, which occur al most every night. Aerial torpedoes to the number of 680 have been launched from airplanes upon vari ous parts of the city. As most of the shells and torpedoes are of the incendiary type, they have caused enormous damage, so that up to the present 1,200 houses have been de stroyed. When the firemen, who gallantly stuck to their posts, have attempted to extinguish the flames, the German gunners, seeing the glare of the fire they had caused, have continued to throw In shells upon the spot, while at night the German airmen have circled high over the blaze and dropped more bombs. The cathedral, which possesses the finest Gothic nave in existence, has so far escaped serious damage, but any moment may see irreparable in jury done it, as projectiles continue to fall all around it. The task of the authorities in get ting the people away when they dis covered the intentions of the Ger mans to destroy the city was a tre mendous one. as the. refugees from the devastated districts had in creased the population to 120,000, all of whom had to be removed from danger within a few days. The ar rangements, however, worked per- 21 NAME ON LIST OF U.S. CASUALTIES Nine Deaths; Four Killed in Action; ;Report Sea Victim By Associated Press Washington, May 10. —The casual ty list to-morrow contained twenty one names divided as follows: Kill ed in action, four; died of wounds, one; died of accident, one; died of disease, three; wounded severely, three; wounded slightly, seven; miss ing in action, one; lost at sea, one.

SPROUL VISITS MILL DISTRICTS Goes Through Industrial Sec tions of Allegheny County; Beidleman After Scott Senator William C. Sproul, who toured Cambria county yesterday and received a greeting as enthusiastic as he did In Blair the day before, is in Pittsburgh for the weekend and touring the mill districts. Yesterday was an oft day for his rival, J. Denny O'Nell, who devoted himself to High way Department work and confer ences, leaving last night to take up his campaigning with a long sched ule. Senator Beidleman campaigned in west'ern counties and John R. K. Scott, whose absentee record in Con gress is something talked about, at lacked Senator Penrose for not be ing in his seat at Washington. A dispatch from Pittsburgh says: "Senator William C. Sproul, Repub lican candidate for Governor, cam paigning Thursday in Cambria county and comity? into Pittsburgh Thursday night, declared he is meet ing with the heartiest reception everywhere. In Cambria county the candidate met and shook hands with a thousand voters. Coming to the William Penn Hotel. Senator Sproul found Senator E. E. Beidle man, candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor; Representative James F. Woodward, candidate for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and State Chair man William E. Crow, with Mayor E. V. BaWock. Senator Charles H. Kline and a big delegation of Alle gheny county Republican leaders on hand to greet him. "Beidleman and Woodward cam paigned in Braddock and vicinity, in tow of Register of Wills William Connor, and talked to two crowds, packing the meeting halls. Senator Beidleman, reiterating his challenge to John R. K. Scott, to tell his audi ences how he proposes to have the next Lieutenant Governor reorgan ize a State Senate which would be organized and doing business fifteen days before the Lieutenant Gover nor is swim in, did so purposely because Scott is in town. He forced Scott to drop this feature of his nightly talk, but got no answer t° his challenge. "Senator Sproul will be nominated for Governor by over 200,000 ma jority," was' a prediction made yes j terday by Congressman Charles W. 1 Rowland, of Philipsburg, Center county, in Philadelphia. "I make this statement advisedly," continued the congressman. The people of Pennsylvania are alive to the situa tion. They know of the high char acter and the exceptional qualiflca- I tions of Senator Sproul and are also aware of the delinquencies of his opponent. There is a spirit of patriotism manifested in every sec tion and the people are thinking for themselves and will vote accordingly at the coming primary. Sproul is getting stronger every day as he Is becoming better known to the voters. This is particularly true of western counties from which I have direct and reliable information." "We propose here in Luzerne county to thrfcttle, at the outset, any attempt by the factional Phila delphia boss to gain a foothold in our section," said A. H. Bleckley, last night in Wilkes-Barre at a meeting of business men who had gathered to form a Luzerne county branch of the Pennsylvania Patriotic Union. The .officers elected were: Chair man, A. H. Bleckley, president Dor ranceton Silk Works; secretary, H. C. Shann, manager of Lazarus Brothers; treasurer, Ambrose West, proprietor West Knitting Mills. Nation Is Relieved by Success of Lloyd George; Common Cause Survives New York, May 10.—There is not the teast doubt that a feeling of disquiet was excited in the United States by the news that General Maurice's charges might precipitate o. change of government in England, and that there is a strong feeling of relief over the fact that the change has ben averted by the thoroughly satisfactory vote of nearly three to one. The batle is still going on, the battle that we began by calling "the battle of Picardy/' and changed to "the batle of Flanders and Picardy," and which we may have to call "the battle of Europe" or "the battle of 1918" before we get through, if we are to find any title that is adequate to its size. It is the batle of Magna Charta and the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Rights of Man against the Dark Ages, fought out now in one gigantic struggle; it is four years of agony brought to a climax. At this moment, when there is need for the tensest concentration against the foe, it was deeply dis turbing to have thrust before us the prospect that England might be guilty of the levity of changing dom manders for'mere party reasons. It is not so, and the common cause has escaped a peril. Man Captured by Chinese Bandits Was Married by a Harrisburg Priest E. J. Purcell, who, with other en gineers, was captured and robbed by Chinese bandits, was married by tHe Rev. Joseph R. Murphy, rector of St. Francis' Roman Catholic Church, it was learned to-day.

COMMONS VOTES CONFIDENCE IN LLOYD GEORGE Premier Refutes the Charges Made by Maurice in Con duct of War London, May 10.—The Lloyd George ministry won a notable vic tory in the House of Commons yes terday. By a vote of 293 to 106 the House voted down a motion intro duced by former Premier Asquith providing for the appointment of a special committee to investigate charges made by Major General Frederick B. Maurice, recently re lieved of his post of chief director of ntflltary operations at the war of fice. Stirred by the imminence of a cabinet crisis, the people of London crowded the public galleries long be fore the debate opened. The diplo matic and peers' galleries also were thronged. Immediately after the introduc :ion of Mr. Asquith's motion the pre mier took the floor and spoke in de fense of the government. He refuted :he charges of General Maurice, and declared statements made in his re •ent speech, to which Maurice's harges referred, were made on in- f | N ' cs,,c ' sFo |'2 ospi,al s,zc ! ] _ o \ ; Limestone Phosphate St. 306 BROAD St. Pinkhartfveg Comp == 1 SATURDAY " J J Sulphur I SPECIALS L Mentholatum J t ; None Sold to Dealers at These Prices f 1 Listenne , ■ Pitcher s Castoria * ; *4o No Mail Orders.

He showed also by documentary evidence that the extension of the British line was made because of pressure exerted by France and tljat the decision was taken on the advice of the military authorities, in agree ment with Field Marshal Haig, the war cabinet having interfered in no way in the matter, althought It ap proved of the dispositions. When the premier left the House of Commons he was loudly cheered. The quick and successful manner In which the Lloyd George Ministry in the House of Commons yesterday dealt with an unpleasant incident which had caused more political bit terness than any preceding chapter of this troubled administration, was brought about by a sudden change of tactics on the part of the cabinet. Premier Lloyd George again showed himself a keen political strategist and a strong political leader for his own cause. He with drew the cabinet's plan for a court of honor to deal with the charges of Major General Maurice, which Andrew Bonar Law on Tuesday said concerned the honor of the minis ters. The premier made it clear that adoption of former Premier Asquith's motion for a select com mittee to investigate the matter would be regarded as a vote of cen sure which would be followed by the government's resignation. Mr. Lloyd George detailed In a burning speech his version of the controversy which Major General Maurice began. The debate was brief and the premier's txplanatlon was its dominating: feature. The cabinet rode safely over the crisis by a "ote of 293 to 106. The majority was even larger than news papers had predicted and shows that the House of Commons at least, is not for a change of government which would have been the result of adopting Mr. Asquith's proposal. Former Premier Asquith's speech was short. He expressed surprise that the government would take his motion for Investigation by a com mittee as a vote of censure and had the House with him when he re- GREAT OLD REMEDY FOR SKIN DISEASES S. S.

The principal point of the premier's defense was that the disputed state ments had been based on informa-, tion furnished by Major General Maurice's department of the war of- , flee and that Major General Maurice never had questioned them while ho • was in daily conferences with the cabinet.
