PLUNGES TO DEATH DOWN MINE SHAFT
'With both legs and one arm tom oft, the l»ody of Henry Drabel. aged 23. of Durbln street, Plymouth, recently dls- charced from the army after serving on the firing line In France, was found yesterday at the bottom of a nine hun¬ dred foot air shaft in the Lance col¬ liery of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre Coal Company at Plymouth. It is claimed by the authorities that he Jumped to his death during a nt of in¬ sanity bi:ought oa by a recent attack of Influenza, The shaft Is located at the foot of Shonk street.
Drabel'e suicide was a result of the weakened condition In which two at¬ tacks of Influenza had left him. While In France srr\-lng with the American Expeditionary Forces he escaped in¬ jury at the hands of the enemy, but fell a victim to the disease.
He partially recovered and was sent homa He was discharged from the army two months ago. He returned home and managed to secure employ¬
ment  in    the  Delaw£Lre    and  Hudson mines   but   had   worked   only   a   short i time when he was once more stricken , with  Influenza.    His  relatives  notioed I that his mind appeared affected. i
The young man left his home Friday night telling the members of his fam- ] ily that he was going for a walk.    He ; had not returned by yesterday morn¬ ing.    The   search  for  him  led  to   the i Lance   colliery  and   ended   there   with ' the discovery of the mutilated body at : the bottom of an air shaft.   Indications I>olnt to the young man  having gone to the top of the shaft where he eluded - a   watchman    and    then    deliberately stepped off into nine hundred    feet of space.    His  body  apparently  bounded from side to side of the shaft in the fall as both legs and one arm had been tom off.
Drabel Is survived by his mother and several brothers and sisters. i
The funeral 'will likely be    held to¬ morrow.   Burial will bo at Plymouth.

Brings Dead Soldiers Back to Life; French Miracle  Worker in America
Hitchcock and Morgenthau to Face Knox and Lodge in a Verbal Contest
Chicago, March 23.—The world's Ponce de Leon has come to Chi¬ cago to teach the doctrine of a long, healthful life- Hs Is Dr. Octave Laurent, surgeon-major of the French armies, a Belgian by birth, who, during the war, revived the hearts of 6B French soldiers, officially pro¬ nounced dead.
Those soldiers now are In perfect health.
Dr. Laurent expects to meet an institute for the education of the lay public In the common Ills of mankind. This is to be only a start of a line of such institutions of learning which the doctor says he hopes to establish throughout the United States. Already $100,000 has been given by a Chicago man toward the general fund.
By means of charts, lantern hlides, lectures ftnd non-technical de¬ scriptions. Dr. Laurent said, he and his aides will endeavor to show the lawman how he may live to reach a ripe old aga The entire course centers about the one thought—abtise.
He does not say one should not smoke, chew or drink.
"If one drinks, eats or smokea In excess, to the point of abuse, then he Is endangering his life—he Is cutting a'way the yoars he will remain with us." Is the way he sums it up.
Dr. Laurent toM Middle West surgeons and doctors here today of his war experiences. He talked of his method for re'vlving the human heart—bringing it back to life after It had ceased beating.
"The man is dead—yes, officially—but not me," said the doctor. "He Is dead,  but we shall  see.
"I separate his heart from the body—separate It absolutely. Then I bathe it in a U'ving liquid—common table salt, glucose and blood. Then by a series of massages, make It beat—it Is alive. I put it back In the body The man grows strong—he Is not dead. He gets well and returns to his family   a   strong   man."
Dr. Laurent divides existence of the heart Into three stages as— life or ageny; bypoblosls, (under life) or stillness, death or decomposi¬ tion.

Washington, March 22.—A false re¬ port that Italy had threatened 'with¬ drawal from the peace conference If she was not awarded Flume was re¬ garded hy well informed authorities here tonight as another dash of Paris prop.iganda
The difference of opinion between the Italian and American peace dele¬ gates, regarding the question of flnal disposition of Dalmatia snd Flume, h.i.^ long been known to those In touch with developments at the peace con¬ ference.
President 'Wilson has had several frank talks with both Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonninio and It has become known that the President's viewpoint was that Italy was entitled Cp half ofl the east coast of the Adrl- Jpic. to include Trieste and Trent, but ^hst Dalmatia and Flume were not to be  given   to  Italy.
The President is supported In his stand by experts who have given the problem of the "best boundaries for the greatest number to Insure the least difficulty."
President Wflstm left Italy last Jan- nary, convinced In his own mind, aft¬ er talking with the Italian statesmen, many of the so-called "ordinary peo¬ ple" and his own advisors in that country, that the cry for Flume and other territory was largely political. He felt that In the cause of the com¬ mon weal, the Italian p eople would be willing to give up Flmue.
Also it was pointed out then that the demand for Flume ¦was of compar¬ atively recent date—coming after the pnrt of London on Trieste, Trent and .> ters.
l"^irthermore. It wss stated. Flame would gl've Jugo-Slo'vakl a much de¬ sired outlet to the sea. Sonnino and Orlando feel that Fleume. desiring to accept Italian sovereignty, should most certainly be regarded Italian and feel fhe question should be clo.^ed there. They ha\t» even gone so far as to In¬ timate that the Orlando go\-emment will fall If it falls In the Flume pro¬ ject. Should this happen new peace delegates ¦wnuld have to he selected to reiM-esent Italy. But all this Is known In well informed I'aris and here.
Hence the Italian threatened with¬ drawal from the conference, enhanced by a sudden and simultaneous cam¬ paign on the part of the Inspired Italian newspapers to "get Flumo or come home and make a separate peace." Is regarded here as Just another bit of propaganda, ¦wblch found a. fertile ground and of which there has been much sown at Paris among the un- wllly.

Omsk, March 19.—The Siberian army has inflicted a crushing defeat on the Bolshevlkl, It was announced today.
Attacking aJong the Siberian rail¬ way In the region of Perm, the Siber¬ ian forces pushed the Bolsheviki back more than 30 miles at some points, re¬ capturing Okhansk. Between Okhansk and Ossa the soviet army's front was broken for a distance of 20 miles. Ossa is   particularly   surrounded.
The Bolshevlkl are reported to be retiring on the whole front. Their railway transport is breaking down as the result of most of the rolling stock being In  disrepair.
Although they have positive knowl¬ edge that Charles Marshall, a private In the 81st Infantry Regiment of tho United States Army, Is on the ocean sailing toward home, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman B.

The parents yesterday received from Washington the preliminary papers for them to fill out in order to secure the Instalments on the war risk Insurance taken out by their son. These papers followed a notification three weeks ago from the War Department that Mar¬ shall had been killed. The parents be¬ lieve that their son has been confused with some other soldier with a similar name who met death in the last days of the war.

Harrisburg, March 22.—Approximately 35,000 men wfll b,3 given work on the roads of Pennsylvania at the height of the 1919 construction season, which opens very soon. Of this number, 20,000 will be employed on work immediately under the direction of the State High'way Department, in actual construction and in prepara¬ tion of materials. Several thousand men will work on new construc¬ tion done by counties and townships, while the maintenance of town¬ ship roads 'will employ other thousands.
During the building season which opens soon the State High¬ way Department pleuis to build 600 miles of permanent road. Con¬ tracts will cover an average of four miles each. The average con¬ creting crew consists of 20 to 25 men, while  15 to 25 men on an

Parts. March 22.—The United States has put in a maximum claim for loss of life and property during the ¦war ag¬ gregating a Ilttle less than a billion dollars, the amount for Individual loss of   life being $25,000 In each case.
The chief Issue of the question of reparations Is not what Germany should pay but what she can pay. Thc commissions which have studied the subject have gradually reduced the claims to a total of about $40,000,000,- 000.
One proposal ¦was to spread the pay¬ ment over forty years. On this basis the principal, with interest, would amount to $80,000,000,000 at tho end of the period. Against this proposal the commission has estimated all the available wealth and resources of Ger¬ many at home and abroad. The Amer¬ ican view as to these estimates is that $12,000,000,000 is the utmost that can be expected.
All outside property Is regarded by the commission as subject to confisca¬ tion by the Allied and associated pow¬ ers. Should this view pre\'ail It ¦would yield $8,000,000,000 for their immediate liquidation of war losses.
Serious division of opinion also ex¬ ists over the allotment of damages among the Allied powers. The French claim priority for the destruction of invaded region.s, while the British In¬ sist on an allotment on the basis of war costs.

Sure of Safety. The first knowledge of a mlx-up over jnoung Marshall came to his par¬ ents three weeks ago when they re¬ ceived a telegram from the ¦war; de¬ partment "regretting to announce the ! death" of Private Marshall. That message stunned his relatives as they knew he had reached the end of the j war ¦without! mlsap or Injury. Slnco te signing of the armistice he had fre¬ quently ¦written home, telling them of his earlier trip to the United States and home.
The happiness of tbe parents over the near return of their son -was blast¬ ed by the uncertainty caused by the conflicting messages. They took Im¬ mediate steps to get letters to their son and •within the past few weeks had heard from him. Then they learned that he had sailed from a French port on March 17. When they received that Information they believed that every¬ thing had been cleared up, but yester¬ day the family was handed a mall package containing Insurance papers i sent by the Govemment Insurance I Bureau in order to settle the young soldier's estate.
The case Is one of the most unusual Invol'ring a confusion In names in vifw i ,
