Accompanying the reports of bad weather comes the ominous news of presence of disease. Hungary has acknowledged an outbreak of cholera among her troops and while it is denied officially the same scourge is said to have attacked the Servian troops.

epidemics of military diseases may be expected in the western battle the troops on both sides, drenched by a pitiless rain, are lying in flooded trenches. The operations in Alsace, Lorraine, are said to have come to a complete stop of snowstorms. Rain and floods are also reported from the scene of the Galician operations and probably account for the cessation of the Russian attack on the retreating Austrians. Storm conditions will interfere greatly with motor transports and troops taking the offensive may be handicapped by inability to briru up their artillery. Several of the great German siege guns, probably destined for use against the fortifications of Paris, have fallen into the hands of the tnetjny.

The exploits in Indian winters of the German cruiser Emden, whioh have been likened to the operations of the Alabama during the Civil war, have aroused keen interest here.

Anna Martin, Eighteen-Year-Old Telephone Operator, Discovered This Morning With Horrible Wounds On Head Caused By Ax Of Victim Is Parallels Attack On William Herzog The ax fiend got in his work at Braggs again last night.

His victim is Anna Martin, eighteen years old. She was struck in the head with an ax as she lay asleep in her room at the home of Clarence Madden, her brother, sometime during the night, supposedly between 8 and 10 o'clock. She'lay unconscious in a blood-soaked bed until breakfast time this morning. There was no disorder in the room and no evi- denc of a struggle. outi of tho house was a keg standing on a box.

Til is is whoro tlio a.ssailant stood when he cut a screen in the window in the rear of the house. Tt was necessary for him to go through one roora of tlie Jiouse before entering the room where Mi.s.s Martin slept. An ax belonging to the Madden establiBliinont was found beside the house. There was blood on the hantiie and the head, and also pieces of bloody hair. Two ugly wounds were inflicted on the Martin girl's head.

She hml hwh struck twice by the ax fiend before she became unconscious. When her brother arose this morning he girl tossing about in her bed. It was time for her to get up and he went to call her, when he saw tliat her head and the pillow was bloody. He asked her who had struck her. She looked at him in a dazed way and said: "Nobody.

I have aa ache" She lost cGnscJbusness shortly Reese, Hawkins and Scott were an F. Fite was snmmoned from Muskogee. An operation was performed on the young woman this afternoon, a part of her skull being removed. Just before the anthecetic was istered the young woman, partially regained kShe was again asked who struck her. Her answer was as Paxellels Herzog Case.

One of the tincanny features of the crime is that it paral- Itils the attempt made upon the life of Willianj Herzog at Braggs last May. The ax fiend entered the Herzog home in the night, dealt Herzog a terrific blow with an ax and eseap- ed without arousing any otlier members of the family who were sleeping in the liouse. Herzog was found later raL--' revived temporarily but could give no account of who had assailed him or how or when it wPS done, many days it was thought he would die, and then he slowly began' to improve. He has not yet entirely recovered. Large rewards were offered for the capture and conviction of the man who struck Herzog, but not a single clue was ever found, STEALTH OF A MANIAC.
