NO PARALLEL IN
WIDOW, JUST 39,
HAS 17 CHILDREN.
London, July 27.—The magnitude
of the German enveloping movement
in the eastern field is now absorbing
the attention of the British officials
and public. The latest reports show
that General Von Buelow’s 80,000
cavalry have turned southward from
Riga and are within 80 miles of th<*
railway connecting Petrograd with
Warsaw.
In this way the northern German
line is closing on tJ»e main northern
railway artery to Die Russian capi-
tal, while the southern army similar-
ly is approaching the main southern
artery running to Odessa.
Is No ParalleL
The Times declares human history
can show no parallel to the tremen-
dous extent of this enveloping move-
ment, which, it says, involves results
to Russia and the western allies com-
ing with Russia’s resistance to a
Mongol invasion.
The Times believes the operations
are a real danger not alone to War-
saw but to the whole system of rail-
way defenses of which the city is the
center, and that it now is apparent
that the Germans are planning to en-
velop the entire Russian army in this
region. The newspaper points out that
the fall of Warsaw will have a grave
significance for the west, as it will
mean that Russia’s power to resume
a successful offensive will be indef-
initely postponed and that the princi-
pal bases for offensive operations
will be in the hands of Germany.
News Brings Relief.
Today’s Petrograd official state-
ment saying that the Germans have
been thrown back at one point of
the Narew river, brings some relief
to London, as the military observers
here hold that the final results de-
pend largely upon Russian prolong-
ing her resistance until climatic con-
ditions in the country interpose a bar-
rier to the full realization of the
German plan.
Reports from the other military
fields, with the exception of the
Italian frontier, where the Italians
claim to have taken 1600 prisoners,
show comparatively inactivity.
Premier Asquith today announced
that the total British losses in killed,
wounded and missing, in both the
military and naval branches of ser-
vice up to a week ago, had reached
330,995.
Oklahoma City, July 19.--A wid-
ow, 39, mother of 17 children, th1?
oldest boy, 20 an invalid, the family
practically destitute on a sand-hin
farm, two and a half miles west of
Choctaw City, a small two-room log
cabin for a house—these are the pit-
iful circumstances related to County
Judge Zwick when Laura Ramsey
made application for a pension un-
der the new widow’s pension law.
All 17 children were born in 21
years. The oldest child, a girl, is 21
and was born when the mother was
18. There are no twins, triplets or
quadruplets in the Ramsey family.
The mother, although without funds,
is in good health. The father died
of tuberculosis last November.
Since the death of the father the
family has attempted to make a liv-
ing on the rented farm by raising
cotton. The farm is not productive
and the struggling mother applied
to County Judge Zwick for relief. An
early hearing on the unusual case is
expected.
Until several years before the
death of the father the family lived
on the outskirts of Oklahoma City and
engaged in truck farming.
County Judge Zwick said that so
far as he knew 17 children for a
mother 39 was a record.
WHAT IS NEXT
MOVE IN MEXICO.
NOTICE.
To all persons in terested as credit-
ors of the estate of J. W. Smith,
deceased:
The undersigned has been appoint-
ed by the county court of Delta
county administrator of the estate of
J. W. Smith, deceased, and all per-
sons having claims against said es-
tate are notified to present the same
to me for allowance. My postoffice
address is Commerce, Texas.

Washington, July 27.—Official an-
nouncement that the United States
government shortly would make a
definite move to solve the Mexican
problem led to some speculation here
today as to what course would be
pursued. The announcement did not
reveal the nature of the actio l plan-
ned.
President W’ilson has been giving
close study to the Mexican situation,
particularly since the heads of the
warring factions have failed to heed
his warning to settle their differen-
ces. The president, it is said, is
weighing carefully several suggested
courses, but no announcement of his
decision likely will be made until af-
ter his return from Cornish, N. H.
The most probable step, it is said,
will be to make a final plea to Gen.
Carranza to confer with other fac-
tion leaders in an effort to restore
peace. Failing in this, conferences
of their Mexican chiefs would be
urged. A government formed by
them might be recognized by the
United States and aid given to main-
tain it.
London, July 26.—The American-
owned steamer Leclanaw, fiying the
American flag and carrying a crew
composed principally of Americans,
was torpedoed by a German submar-
ine off the Orkney Islands, according
to dispatches from Kirkwall. The
crew was saved in the ship’s own
boats.
Before sinking the vessel the Ger-
man U boat commander exercised the
“visit search’’ required by the inter-
national rules of warfare. Kirkwall
ditpatches states. If official reports
bear out this statement, the attack on
the Leelanaw probably will not pre-
cipitate a crisis between the United
States and Germany.
The dispatches said the submarine
commander first assured himself that
the steamer carried contraband of
war and then gave the crew time to
take to their boats.
In diplomatic circles here it is de-
clared the Leelanam incident, there-
fore, becomes almost identical with
that of the American bark William
P. Frye, sunk by a German commerce
raider, and is not of the same char-
acter as the attack on the Lusitania,
the repetition of which, America has
warned Germany, would be consider-
ed “deliberatsly unfriendly.”
The J.eelanaw was en route f-or;
Archangel to Belfast, after discharg-
ing a cargo of cotton at the Russian
port. She found it necessary to stop
at 'Belfast on her return trip to
America to take on a supply of oil for
fuel, and probably for this reason
accepted a cargo of flax from Arch-
angel to Belfast.
Flax was declared contraband of
war by the German Government in
April.
For that reason the German sub-
marine commander apparently was
acting within his rights in destroying
the cargo, but overstepped the bounds
of international law in sinking the
steamer and setting the crew adrift
in open boats.
The Leelanaw was sunk Tuesday.
Was Flying U. S. Flag.
New York, July 26.—The freight
steamer Leelanaw was flying the
American flag when sunk.
This statament was made today by
A. H. Bull & Co., agents for the ship,
which was owned by the Harby
Steamship Co., cotton merchants of
15 William street.
The Leelanaw was e>nroute to Bel-
fast to discharge a cargo of flax and
to take on oil for fuel, when last re-
ported to her agents here,
A cablegram received at noon said
the steamer was torpedoed and that
all hands were saved.
The message to the ship’s owners
from Captain E. B. Delk, who lives at
460 South Fifty-Fourth street, Phil-
adelphia, follows:
“Ship torpedoed sunk. Crew land-
ed all safe Kirkwall."
The Leelanaw left Galveston May
5 with a cargo of cotton destined for
Archangel and sailed from New York
twelve days later. Though her cargo
was assigned to a Russian port, she
was stopped by British patrol ships
and taken into Kirkwall, because the
cotton was consigned via Gothenburg,
Sweden, the Swedish authorities hav-
ing prohibited the exportation of
cptton.
The steamer was relesed June 26
with the understanding that she was
to proceed direct to Archangel. She
did so and started back to Belfast.
ATLANTIC CITY MAYOR
LEADS SUNDAY DANCE.
Atlantic City, July 19.—For the
first time in the history of the re-
sort, dancing was conducted on a
pier on the Sabbath last night and
the session was officially started by
Mayor William Riddle, who dared
the prettiest girl in the ballroom to
dance a one-step with him. Several
hundred pairs followed.
The dancing concluded a day of
general law violations along the
beach front. One theater ran vau-
deville, while other slipped across
amusements that have been placed
under the ban.
Several hundred persons gathered
at the pier when a tip was passed
about that dancing would be per-
mitted. Mayor Riddle joined the
throngs. Soon he stepped into the
center of the ballroom and said to
the orchestra leader:
“Can’t you slip some Saturday
night music into your program? It
is against the city ordinance to
dance on Sunday. Anybody who
dances is a violator. The enactment
aid not have my support.”
“If they start to arrest anybody
they will have to start with the may-
or. I’ll dance with the prettiest
girl in the room.”
The band struck up and a young
woman stepped to his side. In an
instant the mayor was whirling all
around the ballroom. The rest of
his audience followed.

W. H. Whited, blacksmith, South
3rd strait, Cooper, Texas, says: “I
had a chronic case of kidney trouble.
I could never tell the moment when,
like a flash, a sharp pain would
shoot through my back and loins. This
trouble came on when bending over
and I had to straighten up gradually,
resting my hands on my knees. For
several days the kidney action was
scanty. I tried many medicines but
Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at the
City Drug Store, did me more good
than anything I ever used.”
The above statement was given on
April 7, 1908, and on April 20, 1915,
Mr. Whited said: “I still retain my
faith in Doan’s Kidney Pills and use
them when I have need of a kidney
medicine.”

There is more catarrh in this
j. section of the country than all other
diseases put togethei, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
j incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis-
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca-
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution-
al treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur-
faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

Deputy Sheriff Ed Brent passed
through the city Tuesday evening
having in charge a well known resi-
dent of Ladonia. We were informed
that the man in charge was under ar-
rest on a charge of incest, and that
he was lodged in jail upon his arrival
in Bonham. Futher information
reaches the Signal that son.e of the
citizens of the Ladonia community
became outraged and attempted to
administer punishment to tne man
charged with this terrible crime.
The man arrested, who was for-
merly a peace officer in Ladonia,
had an examining trial at Bonhanx
yesterday and was fully exonerated.
He passed through Honey Grove
Wednesday and was fully exonerated,
derstand the man alleges that the
charge was the work of spite.—

Berlin, July 27.—Prof. Eduard
Heilfron, an authority of internation-
al law, commenting in an article in
Der Tag, on the last American note
to Germany, says:
“The American note must produce
indignation, and great irritation.
President Wilson’s contention that
Amercan citizens may travel where
their interests on the high seas, call
them, are absolutely untenable.
“ Inter national law unconditionally
acknowledges that neutrals do not
possess absolute freedom on the seas
in war time. The Lusitania case
coscerns not a neutral ship, but a
hostile ship, of which were strong
suspicions of her being turned into
an auxiliary cruiser at any moment.
“The insinuation of the United
States that Germany_ should give up
her submarine warfare, so that
American citizens could travel on
ships is comprehensible only because
it is in .accordance with the entire at-
titude of the American government
toward Germany.
“The delivery of arms and muni-
tions not always violates neutrality,
but, if the fighting powers of om>
belligerent exclusively depends on the
delivery of arms and munitions by a
neutral power, then it constitutes a
violation.
“President Wilson speaks of a new
and unexpected method of naval war-
fare and the note acknowledged the
impossibility of submarines detaining
hostile ships. A necessary conse-
quence is the destruction of such
vessels. Instead, President Wilson
demands that Germany abandon the
use of her most useful arm to allow
some Americans to travel on the
British ships instead of being satis-
fied to take passage on neutral ships.”
