Isaac Hainllne, aged approximately
73 years, died Tuesday afternoon.
April 16, at 5 o'clock at his home 7
miles west of St. Marys in Center
township, Mercer county, from the
effects of dropsy with which he has
been afflicted for several years.
Mr. Hainllne has been unable to
work for some time and had been al
most helpless since the death of his
wife about one and a half years ago.
He had the tender care of his two
daughters, Emma asd Gabriella, dur
ing his illness. He was not confined
to his bed, his condition necessitating
that he sit up most of the time.
Surviving are four daughters and
one son, as follows: Mrs. Charles Ad
ams, residing west of Coldwater; Mrs.
Fred Dick, of Celina, Emma and Ga
brilla, at home, and Clem Hainllne,
who lives adjoining the homestead. A
brother, Henry Hainllne lives near
Neptune. The deceased was an un
cle of Charles and David Hainllne, of
St. Marys.
The deceased was a member of the
Macabee lodge of this city ad the Ma

years ago and is now, in France.
The entire allied line in Belgium
and France is still holding Arm after
three weeks of a combat which has
eclipsed anything that has raged dur
ing the entire four years of warfare.
It was announced officially at Lon
don, April 15, that, despite furious
attacks delivered against the Brlt'.nh
line in Flanders, tho Germans failed
to gain an inch of ground. Thousands
of German cead are lying before tho
British positions southwest of Ypres
where it is the ambition of the high
German command to break through
and envelope Field Marshal Halg's
forces and gain an open highway to
ward the English channel.
During the week the Germans cap
tured Armentleres and drove their
wedge westward to Merville, eight
miles distant. Furious fighting took
place in the region of Ypres, Arras
and other points along the British
line, tho Germans suffering enormous
losses in carrying out their attacks.
Near Montdldier and Noyon the
French delivered successful counter
attacks. Berlin claims the capture
of 12,000 British during the battle of
Armentierei
Americans in the Toul sector have
teen under heavy bombardment, the
Germans continuing their efforts to
break through to the third line of the
American positions. They made two
attacks, both of which failed. The
enemy's casualties in the four days'
fighting arc estimated at between
300 and 400.
The allies now stand on a front
which has been dented and battered
but which is very strong throughout.
Tracing this line from the south, it is
found to leave the old battle front at
Braucourt, west of Laon. From this
point it runs to the west, passes
south of Coucy-le-Chateau and curves
north until it reaches the Oise river,
which it follows until it reaches a
point south of Noyon. Here the line
crosses over some high hills .and runs
Just north of west to Mesnil, west of
Montdidier, where it turns to the
north. This line is continued as fai
as Castel, where It turns northeast
to Hansard, and then by a crooked
line through Albert to a point east of
Hubuterne. Here the line runs off
to the northeast through Bucquop and
Boisleaux to Fampoux, east of Arras.
At this point it turns north to be
jond Lens and then turns sharply to
the northwest past Bethune, entering
the scene of the most bitter fighting.
It continues as far as Merville, which
marks the farthest advance of the
Germans in their present offensive
operations, and then bends to the
northeast to Passchendaele, north
and east of Ypres. Here it curves to
the northwest to Merckem, . anil
thence north over the lowlands of
Belgium to Nieuport and the sea.
Field Marshal Haig of the British
army issued a command to his men
to hold their ground at whatever cost
He declares that Great Britain's

The Turks and Germans have been

the British trenches at Merville, near

by the British. Neuve Egllse, on the

Lloyd-George to Resign If Nome

MAN POWER BILL ADOPTED

sl!ly did not know there was such

Nationalist Leader Dillon Declares In
a Speech In the. House of Com
mon That If Conscription Is Ap
plied, Ireland Will Be Turned Into
Another Belgium Lloyd-George on
the Battle Situation.
London, April 17. George N.
Barnes, Labor member of the war cab
inet without portfolio, announced In
the house of commons that the gov
ernment Intended lo introduce a
home rule bill immediately and would
use every pressure to pass It Mr.
Barnes announced that the Lloyd
George government would resign if
the house of lords refused to pass the
new home rule bill.
Premier Lloyd-George himself said
In the house of commons: "It Is de
sirable, in the interests of the war,
that W9 should settle the Irish ques
tion and produce something like con
tentment in Ireland and good will
In America."
The home rule bill is considered as
being supplementary to the conscrip
tion bill, the provisions of which ap
ply to Ireland.
The third reading of the govern
ment's man-power bill was carried by
a vote of 301 to 103.
In the report stage of tho man
power bill. John Dillon, chairman of
the Irish Nationalists, moved the
omission of the Irish clause and
pressed the government to give its
real plans. He recommended that the
government go to the counties of
Antrim and Down and try to hold
conscription meetings. That, he said,
would open the government's eyes.
Doubtless the giving of home rule
would produce a great effect, but at
the present time the government ap
peared neither able to carry cn the
war successfully nor accept peace;
neither able to govern Ireland nor al
low Ireland to govern herself.
Mr. Dillon said he had been 40
years in public life during some of
the stormiest periods of Irish history,
but he solemnly warned the govern
ment that he never bad known any
thing to approach the feeling in Ire
land today. If conscription was ap
plied, the chaos and confusion ensu
ing would be appalling and, he de
clared. Ireland would be turned into
another Belgium.
Referring to the situation at the
front, Premier Lloyd-George said-
The fluctuation between hope and
despondency must continue for some
time yet. But I am still full of confi
dence. General Piumer (in command
at Messines lidge) is quite confident.
We have lost territory, but we hava
lost nothing vital."

I have a little story to tell that took

derstand it was the voice of a wounded
German prisoner crying, "Moihe'r! moth

from these dying soldiers God only
knows. If they could only be here with
their love and comforting words they
would take away the pain crying lor
"Mother, mother!"
I stood still and listened and saw a
priest of England and a French doctor
go to his bedside. They were talking
English and I heard their conversation
ibout the onsoner. I ne doctor was
looking into the priest's eyes and said:
"An enemy yesterday, a patient to-day.
If I could o ly speak to him I might
save him." The priest looked about
and saw a few American soldiers around
and asked, "Is there any one of ou who
can speak German; we want to save this

The other day I saw two boys about
seven years old. Each had his right

unfortunate children near the front.
The Germans cut them off so that France
would have no army for the coming gen
