Ills, in an ndrfress to the miners on Socialism, is said to have made remarks derogatory to President Wilson. Miners became angry and wnrn they threatened to do him bodily harm, he escaped to Collinsville, his home.

Pome of the miners, however, followed liirn, collected a crowd, took him from hi home and led him barefoot through the street, waving an American nag. The police, fearing violence, took him from the crowd and placed him in the City Hall. Eater a large mob gathered In front of the hall and demanded the man. Mayor J. H.

Siegel counseled calmness, but the police force ot four was overpowered and Praeger was found in the basement of the hall, hiding beneath a pile of tiling, lie was dragged down the street and beyond the city limits, the crowd, which numbered about 850, threatening to shoot if the officers approached. One mile west of the city the rope by which he had been led was thrown over the limb of a tree. He was asked if he had anything to say His answer was to drop to his knees and. with arms crossed, to pray in German for three minutes. Without another word he was pulled into the air 10 feet and allowed to hang.

The mob then dispersed. 1 The police said that while he was in their custody he had stated he was a registered enemy alien; that lit was hortrin Germany, but that he had taken out his first naturalization- papers and had hoped to become an American citi- tollinsvllle is 12 mi'es east of St Louis, and is in that section of Southwestern Illinois that of late has been actTVe against disloyalists. Dont you remember, Mrs. Jones those days when the tears seemed ending volume? life seemed a long weary battle, when about to surge from your eyes in never The strike was on at the factory, and the haggard look on Johns face deepened as the days went by. Then came 'the welcome news that the factory had opened, but only for a week, and then came again, the long drawn lock-out.

Smithy at the corner grocery, was mighty good then, Mrs. Jones. The grocery bill went up week after week with never, a word from him. His smile was always there, his kindly word of sympathy was never failing, his personal interest in how things were going, endeared him to you at the time. Smith at that time was an elder brother to you and your family, and that was only a few years ago.

Times have changed, Mrs. Jones, John has prospered; he is now foreman, making good money, educating the children, dressing them well, and yours is considered a model family. But things have not gone so well with Smith. Great big chain stores have cut into his business and his existence is threatened. His kindly smile is still there, but it is gravely tempered by worry over his own condition.

This is time for you to have a little of that milk of human kindness about you that makes this world so much happier and let your thoughts return to the strike days.

The Naval Reserve enrollment office at the Navy Yard also has decided that no more aplications for yeowomen will be required after next Tuesday. Reports this morning from the local recruiting station fell a little short of 100 volunteers, at which the average still holds. They were distributed: Navy, 21; Naval Reserve, 31; Marine Corps, British-Canadian, 11; United States Army, 12; medical inductions, United States merchant marine. total, 84.

With officers of the mission Capt Haigh rode by automobile this morning over the proposed route of Britannia through Boston's streets. The tour was one of careful investigation, for, although Britannia can batter down walls many feet thick and has a registered tonnage of close to 30.0UO, her frame of steel and iron, minus shock absorbers might get quite as nasty a jar from an itinerant cobblestone as any woman might get from a mouse.

The Liberty Theatre has a stage, given by the Managers Association of Boston, and will be the scene of addresses and entertainments presented by the directors of the outdoor avtivi-ties. Many of the features will be furnished by the Stage Womens War Relief Association, of which Miss Margaret Wheeler is head. The theatres will also assist the loan during the campaign by using in the programs the song written for the campaign, Over Here. The words are fitted to the music of Over There, and have a catchy swing, which should make the song popular for its own sake as well as for its appeal to the auditors to buy a bond and Help to build the Kaiser's hearse.

At Keiths Theatre and other vaudeville theatres, one of the stars in each week's program will sing the song regularly during the campaign, and in some theatres the song will be printed in the program. Every moving picture theatre has given permission for a singer to appear during the evening performance. to sing the song while the words are thrown upcyi the screen, and a notice will be thrown upon the screen that copies of the song may be secured at the door. The song will be used extensively at the many Liberty Loan meetings to be held during the campaign.

LEAVITT COMPANY Wholesale Distributors of Sugar. 99 RICHMOND STREET. BOSTON zZPr CHINESE BOY The preliminary Third Liberty Loan campaign started this morning with a rush when 150 scouts from the Greater Boston Council of Boy Scouts set out to cover the city of Boston with 36,000 or more posters of 20 different varieties. The work started at 8 oclock, and will be entirely finished before the beginning of the actual selling campaign at 10 a rn tomorrow. From the shipping headquarters at 88 Purchase st early this morning more than 20 heavy trucks loaned to the Liberty Loan committee by the S.

S. Pierce Company, the William Kilenes Sons Company and other concerns, distributed the posters throughout the city to five headquarters in as many sections into which the city had been divided. Here the scouts were waiting in charge of their scoutmaster and started immediately the work of distributing the posters through the office and store windows, and on every available vacant corner where they might attract the eye and help to sell a bond. One of the most interesting of the troops of scouts at work was Troop 34 of Boston, composed entirely of Chinese boys, with a Technology junior, William Moy Ding, scoutmaster, and including in its membership Albert Shue, United States scout champion in semaphore signaling. The troop is enthusiastically backed by the Chinese Merchants As- sociation, and has made a reputation for itself far and wide.

Their headquarters this morning was the Customhouse. -Practicably every troop in Greater Boston is represented by at least one scout, and from 150 to 200 scouts in all FIRST DRAFT ORDER IS EXPECTED SOON In Rest of 1918 Total Will Be 800,00.0 War May Compel Rapid Calling Out of Men for France WASHINGTON, April 5 Orders for the mobilization of the first large number of men on the second draft will go out to the Governors of the States very soon. Fifteen thousand men of the second draft are now mobilizing, and the April call, about to go out, will represent probably more than the month's proportion of the 800,000 men, who, it previously has been announced, will be called'during the remaining nine months of the year. To call the 801,000 in equal monthly increments would mobilize them at about a rate of 90,000 a month. However, there is no assurance that this will be a fixed figure, because the flow of men will be determined by the needs of the Army in France.

As Gen Pershing may call for specially qualified troops, an average of 90,000 a month may be much exceeded or much decreased. It has been announced that the men will be drawn as gradually and in as small numbers as possible, so as not to dislocate industry and particularly agriculture. So far as possible, tnis plan will be followed. The immediate need of increasing the American forces in France, however, to meet the German drive in the West, is likely to result in calling the men faster than first supposed. For that reason the April quota undoubtedly will exceed its normal average.

In fact, if the need is pressing, the entire 800,000 might be called in much less than the nine months originally planned. PRIVATE W. C. B0YLEN OF MELROSE WOUNDED El. ROSE, April 5 The parents of private William C.

In the West End the scouts are mainly the sons of the Italian and Jewish residents, the Park sq section of the city is to be covered by Hyde Park scouts, and South Boston and the North End by Dorchester scouts. As the boys have been excused from school in order that they may perform this work, blanks have been prepared on which the scout master will certify that the individual scout has performed so many hours work distributing post- ers. These after being filled out will be returned to the school committee. LIBERTY THEATRE AND BARRACKS ON COMMON Boston Common, which since the war began, has been the headquarters for two Liberty Loan campaigns, and innumerable money-raising campaigns, will be again the headquarters for the outdoor work of the Third Liberty Loan campaign, which starts tomorrow morning. The headquarters of the executive Committee on outdoor activities will be located in Liberty Cottage, used during the Winter by the British-Canadian recruiting mission.

The activities themselves will take place within or near two new buildings, Liberty Barracks and Liberty Theatre. Within the barracks, which contain a hall 90 feet long and 22 feet wide, will be shown every evening, moving picture films bearing on the war and the progress of the campaign, and during the day. if the weather is inclement, the speakers will address meetings instead speaking in the open air.

He had been 20-odd years in the service, and was a sergeant for the greater part of the time.

Please pray for me, my dear parents.

This is my last letter and testament. Your dear son and brother, "Robert Paul Praeger." In Praegers pocket was found a long 'proclamation in which he stated his loyalty to the United States and to union labor, and told of his dilticulty in entering the miners union. Praeger yesterday afternoon put up posters at the Maryville mine, proclaiming his loyalty to the Government. When the miners left the workings they were incensed by the proclamations and began to hunt for Praeger. Walter Clark, mine superintendent at Maryville, said today he was convinced there was no truth in charges that Praeger had hoasded powder while cm- I ployed at the mine.

Miners have ex- pressed fear that German spies will get into a mine and attempt to blow it up.

LAW TO PUNISH DISLOYALTY MIGHT AVERT MOB VIOLENCE WASHINGTON April 6 Until the Federal Government is given power to punish persons making disloyal uUer ances, Department of Justice officials fear more lynchings, such as that at Collinsville.

111. This was the first report reaching here of such extreme mob violence to a German, although officials who have observed the general feeling against Germans have feared such occurrences. The Government has no authority to take action against the lynchers. Officials of the Department of Justice deplored the act and expressed the hope that State or local authorities would speedily punish the lynchers. At the same time, it was pointed out that as soon as Congress passes the pending bill, making it a Federal offense to speak or write obviously disloyal criticism of the United States in the war, the Government could punish these acts and reduce the danger of (nob action.

Thfe names they gave were Marian Kenney and Helen Barker.

One is about 24 and the other 26. They were charged with the larceny of nearly $100 worth of goods and were trailed by Mrs Ebbe Lindquist, a store detective. Judge Thomas H. Dowd severely censured the two women, who were represented by an attorney. He told the women that they appeared, very brazen, that he didnt like their attitude, and that they would not again be allowed to insult the court and their attorney.

He' said he didnt want to be harsh, but since they refused to give their right names, addresses and answer proper questions, he would commit them to Charles-st Jail for three months.
