YOUNG WOMEN KILL
EACH OTHER IN CAFE
Sensational Culmination of a
Suicide Fact Startle Late
Diners at Portsmouth.
EACH IS. SHOT IN HEAD
Portsmouth, N. H., March 23. The
two young women who killed each
other aimultaneously in the Ports
mouth cafe last night were definitely
identified today as Margaret
("Peggy ) Spalding, daughter of
George F. Spalding, of Newton,
Mass.. and Ethel Stanton, daughter of
J. L. Stanton, city passenger agent of
tne Kock island rauroau, wun neaa
auarters at Los Angeles. A note
signed "Peggy and Ethel," found in
a room of the Rockingham hotel,
which they had occupied Wednesday
night and Thursday, indicated that
they had agreed to commit suicide to
gether. Miss Spalding was 18 years of age
and Miss Stanton 22. The girls came
here Wednesday. After a night and
day apent at the hotel, where Miss
Stanton had registered in her own
name and Miss Spalding as "Rose
King," they went to the cafe for din
ner. They apent more than two hours
over the meat, prolonging it by re
peated calls for black coffee.
Just Detore 11 ociock tne waiters
and the few remaining dinera heard
two shots. They rushed to the booth
where the girls had been seated and
found Miss Stanton dead, lying half
across the table. I Miss Spalding lay
on the floor unconscious and died
shortly afterward. Each girl had a
bullet wound in the temple. Miss
Stanton's fingers were closed about a
thirty-two-caliber revolver, and be
side Miss Spalding's body lay pearl-

Each Girl Shot in Head.
The police expressed the opinion
that each girl held a revolver at the
other'a head and fired. It was
planned to hold an inquest today.
The note found in the girls' room
was addressed to Miss Spalding's
mother, .through inquiries made at
her home in Newton it waa learned
that Margaret Spalding was a gradU'
ate of the Newton high school, where
she had been a prominent basket ball
and hockey player. Since last fall
ahe has been a teacher-pupil in the
gymnasium department of the Gar
land school in Boston. Miss Stanton
was a pupil at this school until two
weeks ago, when she began studies
at the Dana Hall school in Welles
ley, Mass. The women had been
close friends for some time.
No definite reason was given in the
note for the girl's acts. It said they
had decided that it was better that
they should die and asked their par
ents not to be grief-stricken because
"they would alt be happy and peace
ful when reunited in a better world."
A note left by Miss Stanton asked
that C f. Malsbury, Johnson build
ing, Cincinnati, be notified. The po
lice learned today that Mr. Malsbury
had served as executor of the estate
of Miss Stanton's mother, who was
killed in an automobile accident.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 23. J. L.
Stanton, city passenger agent here
for the Rock Island railroad and
father of Miss Ethel Stanton, one of
two young women who were shot
and killed simultaneously last night
in a Portsmouth, N. H. cafe, said to
day he could offer no explanation of
his daughter's act
He said she was ctteerful as a rule
and he knew of no reason for her to
worry. She had an independent for
tune and could gratify her tastes.
Miss Stanton, who was 22 years old,
lived here with her parents until five
years ago. She went to an eastern
school and soon afterward her
mother was killed in an automobile
accident. Miss Stanton attended a
university at Godfrey. III., for a time.
She spent Christmas holidays in 1915

moving from place to place since
then.

Berlin Paper Puts
Conflict Upon
Berlin, Thursday, March 22. (Via
London, March 23.) The Lokal An-
zeiger accuses President Wilson of
criminal carelessness in his conduct
of American-German relations. The
paper says:
'Dispatches from America and
other neutral countries repeatedly
play with the idea of the possibility
of Germany according American
ships different treatment from that
given other neutral ateamers, on the
ground that Germany must have an
interest in avoiding a conflict with
America. It seeme a fact that Amer
ica also is keeoingr alive the hope that
at the last moment we may find a
way to compromise with the Ameri
can standpoint. After the chancellor,
as well as the other officials in
volved, have repeatedly emphasized
that there can be no going back for
us it is only necessary now to lay
stress upon the following: 1
"The policy of Piesident Wilson
since the breaking off of diplomatic
relations has been characterized by
careless and criminal errors. He has
played with the destinies of great
GERMANS READY
TO MAKE STAND
Strong Defensive Works Con
structed on Line Through
Oamhrai, Lafere, Laon.
FORCE CIVILIANS TO WORK
Paris, March 23. The fast batch
of repatriated French from the
Somme region, who have arrived
here, agree that the Germans have
established a defensive line running
through Cambrai, St. Quentin, La
fere and Laon. Une ot tne refugees
said:
"For several months past the Ger
mans have been concentrating in the
neighborhood of this line, particular
ly between St. Quentin, Cambrai and
Guise. All civilians deported from
northern France and Belgium were
forced to carry out military works
feverishly constructed. They were
compelled to labor under terrible
threats. The Germans constructed a
complete new aystem of railroads
and dug deep shell-proof shelters.
"Localities south of the line were
systematically evacuated and the
greater number of the inhabitants of
the towns and villages were repa
triated, only men and women capable
of working being held. None of the
people in M. Quentin or Laon were
repatriated, however. On the con
trary, the Germans drew a cordon
around these towns and the most
severe measures were taken in recent
months to prevent anyone from either
entering or leaving them.
A violent attack was v made by the
Germans last night north of St Si
mon in the region of Ham.
You Need Not

But You Must Drive It Out of Your

You have probably been in the habit
of applying external treatments, try
ing to cure your Catarrh. You have
used sprays, washes and lotions and
possibly been temporarily relieved.
But after a short time yon had an
other attack and wondered why. You
must realize that catarrh is an infec
tion of the blood and to get perma
nent relief the catarrh infection must
be driven out of the blood. The
quicker you come to understand this,
the quicker you will get it out of your

Blame for
the United States
peoples. He desires to make his fur
ther course depend upon whether
Germany commits an overt act that
is an openly hostile action against
an armed American merchantman. At
the same time he lets it be known
that he has commanded these armed
merchantmen to open fire on their
part' on all submarines immediately.
"In the afce of the reasons we
have given the whole world as the
basis for unrestricted submarine war
fare it is unparalleled rashness if the
president risks the lives of American
citizens in the careless belief that
we will not dare to injure them. Even
apart from the fact that our naval
authorities declare that it is practi
cally impossible to distinguish Amer
ican from non-American merchant
men, the German government must
emphatically decline to consider any
discrimination.
"If President Wilson rashly wants
war he should start it and he will
have it On our side it only remains
to assure him that we have put an
end to negotiations about aubmarine
warfare once for all. The monstrous
guilt for a German-American war,
should it come, would fall alone upon
President Wilson and his govern
ment." Garden Land Sale

Lincoln, March 23 (Special) When
Theodore Roosevelt comes to Ne

admission to statehood he wanta some
German-Americans to sit on the plat

and commencement festivities, indi
cated he held no harsh views against
American citizens of German descent
who were loyal to this country.
Chancellor Avery yesterday issued
a short statement dealing with the
situation, in anticipation of possible
criticism because Roosevelt had been
selected to deliver the main address.
Dr. Avery commented as follows:

"Beginning with some revolution
ary worthies and continuing down to
his former secretary, Mr. Loeb, he
expressed his enthusiasm for patri
otic American citizens of German
descent He referred to some of them
as fit to lead our armies or occupy
the president's chair. He brought out
very plainly, furthermore, that he re
garded Americanism in this country
as a state of mind rather than pedi

he should greatly enjoy having some
patriotic American citizens born in
Germany or of German descent on
the platform with him at the time of
his address.

misapprehension that may exist in
regard to the colonel's attitude to
