POURS GASOLINE OVER
WIFE AND CHILDREN
LAGANSPORT, Xnd. Nov. 26.—
While his wife and children were
sleeping soundly In his cottage
Frank Warner, a well known citi
zen of this city saturated their
bedding with gasoline, and proceed
ing to pour the indrunable about
!he rest of the house and over the
garage and then set lire to it with
the result that all were killed with
out a cha e of escape. Pedestri
ans passing the cottage which is lo
cated in a densely populated neigh
borhood upon inquiry state that
the confiagiation came like a flash
and that before help of any kind
could be jendered the perishing
victims they wire completely en
veloped in the flames and had ex
pired when the firemen arrived.
Warner who is held as insane
and pending his hearing on a
charge of insanity is being very
closely watched and guarded to
! prevent hi5 self destruction. A
I general fire alarm was turned in
but so suddenly and completely
came the destructive work of the
flames that the firemen could ac
complish but little. Moreover so
toon as they arrived on the lawn
about the cottage Warner opened
fire upon them and shot from ten
to twelve of their number. He was
finally subdued and taken into eu
tody but only after he put half the
town in an uproar. The bodies of
iris unfortunate family w'ere burned
beyond recognition.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 2G.—That
-the Rus iun situation is fraught
-with greatest menace to the allied
powers is the statement contained
in official dispatches received here
today.
Overwhelming evidence tending
to prove that German agents are
at work in Russia engaged in an
effort to drive h- r not alone into a
separate peace but to induce her to
become an active ally of that coun
try. It is felt that if thi could he
accomplished Germany's position
thereby beconie so Invulnerable
| that all hope of conquering her
would have to be abandoned.
! a separate peace with Russia if
! supported unitedly by the Russian
people would of itself pro out al
m'*.t insuperable difficulties to the
allied powers in their elforts to
meet the German military aggres
sion. Such a peace would in the
ordinary channels and practices of
commerce provide Germany with
an incxaustible supply of provi ions
and materials a:ul with that alone
she might prosecute the war inde
finitely. If an arrangement can
bo reached whereby the pacificists
of Russia can bo placated and thus
leave her cosrack ar.d those with
military inclinations iree to enter
the war lived up with cential pow
ers a situation is presented which
is regarded as grave in the ex
tri me.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2G.—,

1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2 6.—
That the Eolshcviki government of
1 Russia has sent a proposal to all
the warring nations urging a th~ee
month cessation of hostilities in
which to hold a world peace confer
ence for the discussion of terms of
I settlement of the present almost
[universal conflict and to arrange |
i for a basis of permanent peace, for
j all the world.
| The officials and attaches of the
| Ru sian embassy here are wholly j
! out of sympathy with the t-urn af-'
fairs have taken in Russia and had
refused to art for or tc recognize
I lie new regime ar.d the communi
cation was received by the State
Department d rect. By the terms
of the proposal it is suggested that
a three months armi-tice lie order
ed on all fighting fronts and that
all hostile operations he halted i'or
that period at d that representa
tives of all 'he warring nations
pie lged and instructed to arrive if
po cibie at an amicable understand
ing and return to their separate
i go\er:nnent with a anity proposal
to be submitted to a vote of all
peoples at war.
Notwithstanding the adverse att.i
tu ie of ho recalcitrant Russian of
ficials in Washington who have ic
tus d to act for the Uolsheviki the
United States immediately took up
(lie consideration of the propo. al
hut. little hope if its acceptance by
11 he administration was expressed
and still further doubt of i's ac
ceptance-hj allied powers is enter
tained.
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS. Nov.

Fully twelve concentrated enemy
assaults have been made and re
