WILLIAM SNELL NEGRO SAILOR TELLS HOW HE ESCAPED WHEN U-BOAT CAPTURED BELGIAN PRINCE-38 AMERICAN LIVES TAKEN SURVIVOR OF BELGIAN PRINCE DESCRIBES MURDER OF HIS COMPANIONS LEFT TO DROWN IN SEA MEN PUT ON SUBMARINE'S DECK, LIFE BELTS TAKEN, THEN CRAFT SUBMERGED Liverpool, Aug. 9.—William Snell, a Negro of Jacksonville, Fla., the only American survivor of the British steamship Belgian Prince which was sunk on July 31 by a German submarine with the loss of thirty-eight lives, today gave details of his experiences to the Associated Press. He said: ```markdown ``` "A torpedo hit the engine room. A submarine then quickly came to the surface about 200 yards to starboard and fired at our wireless apparatus. We left the Belgian Prince in three boats and had got fifty yards from the ship when the submarine came along side and asked for our captain, who was taken aboard and inside the U-boat. "The members of the crew were ordered to hold up their hands and the Germans asked if there were any gunners among us. Although there were two we said 'no.' The Germans next asked if we had any pocket arms. "We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine where were told by the commander to remove our life belts and to lie on the deck. This we did. Then the commander went into the boats, threw the oars into the sea and had his men remove the provisions. After that the plugs were taken out of holes in the boats which were then cast adrift. "The submarine went to the northeast for twelve miles, the commander taking the life belts to the top of the conning tower and throwing them overboard. I did mine under a raincoat and as the submarine began to submerge, I fled around my neck and jumped into the sea." "The rest of the crew stayed on deck until they were swept off by the sea as the boat dived." FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY, AUGUST 19 HOME COMING AUGUST 19-19HOMING Sunday services had its usual large audience. The pastor delivered at the 11 c'clock service one of the strongest sermons that probably ever has been heard from this pulpit. His theme was "Having your own way." It reached both saint and sinner and was so forcefully put sinners did not wait for the invitation, but got up and came forward. It was a most wonderful sermon and several connected themselves with the church. Many strangers and visitors attended services during the day. Home Coming Sunday. Sunday week, August the 19th will be home coming and reunion day at which time all of the members who are not able to get to church free vehicles will go after them and take them back home at the close of the day. Services will be held all day, the pastor preaching at the 11 o'clock and 8 o'clock services and Rev. D. A. Johns, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist church preaching at 3 p. m. The ladies of the church will serve dinner, lunches and ice cream in the dining room from 1:30 p. m. the balance of the evening. Strangers, visitors, churches, and friends are cordially invited to be present. Special music by the choir will be rendered at all services. CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our thanks to the many friends and neighbors for the many expressions of sympathy shown in our sad hours of affliction caused by the death of our son and brother, Bert Ross, and for the many beautiful floral offerings.

SQUIRE LEE'S HOME STRUCK BY LIGHTNING-FAMILY HAD CLOSE CALL The home of Squire Lee, 1052 Freeman avenue, was struck by lightning Wednesday evening during the electrical storm. Mr. and Mrs. Lee had not retired yet when the bolt hit the north gable and running down between the petition of the bath room and Mrs. Lee's bedroom splitting the petition open one half falling in the bath room and the other half falling over on Mrs. Lee's bed. It also tore and broke up the flooring in the bed room. While it shocked Mr. and Mrs. Lee they were not aware of it striking their hands and they got ready to get up. TWELVE MONTHS $150: the Negro Orga O SAILOR TELLS HOW HE DAT CAPTURED BELGIAN ICAN LIVES TAKEN FIRST A M. E. S. S. SUPT. PLEAS- ANTLY SURPRISED On Wednesday evening at the parsonage of the First A. M. E. church, 1930 North Sixth street, a number of the teachers of the First A. M. E. church Sabath school met through a well laid plan where they sprung a very agreeable surprise on the faithful and efficient superintendent, Joseph Truman. Mr. Truman had been invited early in the evening to call at the parsonage and at the appointed hour the teachers and a few others entered the parsonage. Miss Theodosla Hamilton was mistress of ceremonies. Those who responded to talks were: Mrs. Lottie Hall, Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, Miss Mee McClelland, teachers, the pastor, Dr. Griffin, Thos. Kennedy, his class leader, and Dr. Walter Maddux, after which Miss Mabel Jackson, a teacher in a few well chosen words, presented Mr. Truman with a fine gold-watch. chain. While the superintendent was a little nervous his response came in words of great feeling and sincerity. The First A. M. E. Sabath school feels that in this young man it has an ideal Christian worker with all the qualifications and ability that goes to make up a full grown superintendent. The balance of the evening was pleasantly passed away in conversation, and eating ice cream which was in abundance. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE A cosmopolitan congregation met at this church at 11 a.m. to worship. The pastor preached an eloquent sermon from Matt. 15:15. Some of his hearers said it was one of the finest they had ever heard him preach. At its close the choir sang beautifully, "Where He Leads I Will Follow." The congregation joined in with perfect harmony and seven joined the church. The choir then sang beautiful anthems for the collection, and many responded generously. At 7:45 p.m., another large gathering assembled and the Pastor preached from Rev. 8th chapter in a sublime manner. In the partial reckoning of the rally 'twas found that Mr. John J. Thomas, one of the charter members of the church, had $82, thus far and was ahead of all others. The collection was good. Next Sunday, August 12th, the rally will be continued; the sacrament which was posponed, will be administered, and another sermon will be preached from Revelations. All are invited to this prominent church, sinners especially. Announcement by Publicity Committee by order of Pastor D. A. Holmes, D.D. EXTRAGT FROM "POETESS" PRAYER.

A DAY OF FEAST AND SOCIAL GATHERING Independence, Mo.—The annual Union picnic and celebration which has been the custom of the three colored churches here for several years, kept up the standard last Saturday, August 4th when as fine a gathering of the members and friends of these churches met in the fair grounds. A coming together of people like these could not be anything else but pleasure, happiness and good cheer, for they were a Christian people. The three churches represented were White Oak M. E., A. A. Tolson, pastor; St. Paul A. M. E., S. L. Brooks, pastor, and Second Baptist, J. B. Beckham, pastor. Dr. Brooks was not able to be present as he had been called to the death-bed of his father in the Southland. There was plenty to eat of everything, each church serving dinner in the dining hall, of which one had their choice of three long, laden mother cooked food, where the young ladies of modern home service were ever ready to care for the needs of those who placed their two by fours under a fairground mahogany. The stands of cold drinks, lunches and ices were accommodated regularly. Athletic events were pulled off in the cool of the evening, after a hot contest of baseball between two local teams. There were many visitors present from Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kansas, and surrounding towns. The Inter-city. band from Kansas City, Kansas, was employed for the day and they livened up things with their spicy music. The gathering was a great success, socially and financially.. Mrs. S. Barnett, entertained Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Fannie Marshall, Mrs. I. Smith and Mrs. P. Everett. Mrs. Pearl Everett entertained Mrs. Emma Grigsby Friday afternoon of last week.

The poetless made a poem and by Monday we had a good rain. (See extract of Poetess' prayer.) It is too bad for people to come from other localities and do things and get our people here mixed up in their crimes. The shooting done by that man from Texas seems uncalled for. They say it is hard to find a better male quartet than Messrs C. White, C. Daniels, C. Holmes and Mr. Powell. Rev. Griffin of the A. M. E. church and others of his church, have expressed appreciation of the Society Editor's paper for the State Missionary society and is telling how excellent it was. Pastor D. A. Holmes is still working on the permanent organization of the Red Cross. A certain, infrequent, minister-said his church has done more for the uph lift of our race than any other church. He forgot that, Booker T. Washington, a Baptist, has really done more for our race than any other one of our race. Greek grammarians will not uplift a race, but good common sense will. —Society EL. BOY SCOUTS HAVE FINE OUTING COLORED BOY SCOUTS CAMP AT CORLISS, KANS. - Last week the Kansas, side colored Boy Scouts joined forces with the Missouri side scouts and camped at Corless, Kansas, for a week's outing. Rev. F. D. Wells, who is enthusiastically interested in boys and Scoutmaster James C. Williams were in direct charge of the camp and are largely responsible for the success of the undertaking. The spot selected for the camp was an ideal one—a thick, clustering grove with swimming pool, and level ground for baseball and other games. There was a large mess tent where meals were served, an assembly tent, the officers tent, and sleeping tents for the scouts. The hours were busily passed in lessons on scoutcraft, hikes, campfires and recreation of all sorts. Mr. Clarence Wisdom from the Paseo Y. M. C. A. boys' department was swimming instructor and Drs. J. R. Thompson and Wm. A. Love motored up and gave both helpful and instructive talks on "First Aid" to the Injured. Other visitors were Prof. A. J. Neely, president of the Men's organization of scouts and Mr. G. K. Williams. The Kansas side scoutmasters, Mr. Goo, Mowbray and Mr. Woody E Jacobs and Mr. J. P. King, secretary of the Men's organization, spent considerable time at the camp and added much of encouragement and assistance. On Sunday morning Sunday school was conducted by Mr. Jacobs and at its close-a special appeal to the boys was answered with six decisions to live better lives henceforward. There were about fifty boys who enjoyed the outing, the following from the Kansas side: Frank Mounroe, Sol Thompson, Groves' Brooks, Orville White, Willie Lambrecht, Ernest Ross, Lester Tharpus, Robert Stevens, Wm. Cox, Owen Murray, Robert Parker, Owen Murray, McClelland, Johnson. CAMP NOTES. Scout Lester Thorpes and Mr. King were the champion eaters in camp. Doctors Wm. Love and J. R. Thompson made quite a hit with the boys by their "First Aid" talks. The boys became anxious for some to get hurt so those remedies could be tried. Nine boys learned how to swim during the week. Orville White was the best among those on the Kansas side who learned. Southmaster Mowbray deserved and was nicknamed "Doc" while at camp. He certainly would make a boy take "that spoonful of medicine." If there was the slightest complaint. Willie Lambright knows. Ask him. Owen Murray made good as a bugler with Groves Brooks holding down second place among the Kansas boys. Sol Thompson, and Ernest Ross were always wanting the bank to be open after closing hours. They were some of the best customers of the camp confectionery store. Frank Monroe's fun ended with toothache and a big jaw Sunday, Hugh Brown's "First Aid" box was used to relieve Frank. A big 300-pound chef and three square meals a day and "soo nuff" square ones, too. If you don't believe it, ask William Cox for he was one of the few who missed one of them. One of the best things at camp was the Sunday school. The boys showed keen interest and seemed to have gotten inspiration from the lesson. The six boys who made decisions for Jesus turned the closing exercises into ah old-fashioned love feast. After benediction, some of the boys who were already Christian referred to Scout Master Jacobs as "Billy Sunday." At the Sunday afternoon assembly, very helpful talks were made by Rev. F. D. Wells, Mr. George K. Williams, Mr. A. J. Neely, Mr. J. P. King and Mr. Harrison Williams. The modest Mr. James Williams (the camp boss) had nothing to say. r Maggie, of Ft. Scott, Kansas, attended the funeral of their cousin, a Mr. Ross, last week, and returned Sunday evening. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, 2216 North Second street, while here. Mrs. Noland 344 Greeley, who has been, confined to her home for some time with illness is improving slowly. Her many friends will be peased to see her out again. Mrs. C. L. Hodgson has gone to Cicledville, Kax, where she will stay for about three weeks. Miss Leona Greene writes the Society Editor she is having a lovely time in the state of Colorado. THE MARY FRANCIS DOMESTIC SCIENCE SCHOOL CLOSES FOR VACATION WITH FINE DEMONSTRATION The Mary Francis Domestic Science school at 1223 Ann avenue, closed Tuesday for the summer vacation, with a beautiful demonstration, by the girls of their year's work.

This school will re-open Tuesday, September 4th, and enrollment can be made at the home of Mrs. Mary Francis, 1223 Ann avenue, or Miss Mabel Jackson's, 711 Oakland avenue. READ. SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD DO. In order to spend a dollar and get value received for same it is necessary for the one who spends it to, in a measure, be familiar with their purchase and the value of the purchase and to reap full reward, they should as far as it is possible, acquaint themselves as to where the dollar is going and what moral or reciprocal returns they will get. If a man spends a dollar for whisky and drinks all the whisky at one time, he is liable to get drunk, go to jail and without a doubt be worse off than if he had never had the dollar—but if he spends it for food and clothing for himself or family and spends it where it is appreciated and where it will be turned into more food and clothing, he is not only helping himself but helping all concerned. If you see an advertisement in this paper and it is honest and bona fide and you patronize the firm advertising came, you are not only helping yourself but you are helping the editor and every reader of this paper, thus helping a good local cause and making your dollar do a two fold purpose. This is one of the reasons why the Ozonized Ox Marrow Company believes in advertising. When you buy one of their combs or a bottle of their pomade, you are buying an article that is guaranteed as advertised—an article out of which you will get your money's worth and from a firm that believes in helping the race wherever and whenever possible and a firm that has been helping the race for nearly 60 years. Look elsewhere in this paper for the ads of the Ozonized Ox Marrow Company—read what they say—send for one of their catalogs and when buying hair pomade or hair straightening combs, see that you get those manufactured by THE Ozonized Ox Marrow Company and tell the company that you saw their ads in this paper, thus making your dollar do a dollar's worth. LINCOLN ELECTRIC PARK'S BIG GEST SEASON Lincoln Electric Park at Twentheenth and Woodland avenue, is having the biggest season of its existence. There is a reason for this season's great success, and the principle one is, it has been under exclusive colored management and the manager never knew what it was to fail in anything he put his hands to. Beginning this Sunday and all next week Major N. Clark Smith's famous concert band will be at the park, and on Tuesday the teamsters and freight handlers of the two cities will hold their annual picnic. Other attractions will be in the park every day for the entertainment of its thousands of amusement goers. No place in the West like Lincoln Electric park.

A Clear, Reliable Family Paper Published In the Interest and Welfare of all Humanity AWAKE---AWAKE YOR ARE WANTED AWAKE---AWAKE YOR ARE WANTED Along the Line of Reason Well, here come your Uncle like et ein;—an I notice, he is walking gin;—an I notice, he is walking. "Yaas, Your Uncle Ike is here en- gin; Walkin'? Sho I is walking. What else I winter do—when all my Soo- fours done Strik-ed? DStrike business brings sumin to my mine.—it been everybody and everything—do somnith for dey selves, Cep-pin our folks." And theer is so much to do—and I want to say, Mr. Editor: I read the article in your paper last week, by Mr. Myers, concerning the ungainly scramble of White men, after Negro business, and the altogether unmeanly and craven conduct of some of the race in taking business in them. Everything he said was true, and then it was not all told, and I am much of the opinion of the writer of the article, that is to say, I have an abiding belief, that much can be done, in truth, all can be done through our ministers. And I believe, when the matter is brought to the attention of these wore- thy, and race loving gentlemen, that they will readily see the good they can do, and will hasten to the work. And not only in that line, is their force and power needed, every way you look, you may see the need of unfuld and aggressive action, and particularly in connection with our schools in the kindergarten and Truncity features, in both of which we need action. And there is still another feature of Social Science, that comes home to us, in which I think our Good women could become interested—it is in the work that falls to the Police Ma-tron. It is one of the largest problems of the government of large cities, and receives attention in late years. I think at the next regular meeting of the Civic League, a number of our good women should be invited, for the purpose of framing some way to get the services of one of our own women in operation to the benefit of our women and girls, who come in charge o the police department. I notice the salaries of schoolmen are being raised, but no provision for Kindergarten, or Truancy officer, for our portion of the regime—no objection to the salary raise, but we do ask some consideration of those features named. It is in all these matters, we, are sure our ministers constitute our strongest and best hope. "More to come." YOUR UNCLE IKE COSMOS CLUB. The M. and O. hall is being thoroughly renovated for the opening of this club which will open for the season the first Friday night in September. S. H.

They return with sult casos full of halt pints, which they sell at $1 each, The law permits ministers to import alcobolic liquors for sacramen- tal pusposes.

Paterson of the Kansas Agricultural Cotlege, Manhattan, Kans, £50 impsrtant things to be attendsd to in the fall are the selection of the ram, the culling of the ewes, and get- Ung them in lamb. The culling of the owes is very important. Ewes thes fail to get in lamb in a falr season, old ewos, and ewes that are poor pro- ducers should be disposed of, thus leaving room for the more productire Individaals, wes with spoiled udders should be sold to the butchers, It is ‘well to mark the ewes that are poor producers. A great many times the best producers will be very thin, when the lambs are weaned, and if the shepherd is not observing he may cull out the thin ones (whose Iack of flesb is due to their good milking qualities), and with only the condition of the ewes as a gulde, the best bread- ers are liable to be put among the calls. Age of Breeding: Ewes should not be bred until they are past one year old, In cases where the lambs are large and growthy, they may be bred before they are one year old; how- ever, this should be more the excep- Yon than the, rule. Young ewes should be bred to old tried rams that havo proved sure breeders and good sires, If ewes fell to produce good lambs under this treatment they should be discarded. Time to Bretd: The time at which to breed the ewes would depend on local conditions. Where good bulld- ings are provided, with plenty of feed, the ewes shoald be bred early so the lambs may be sold in July before the western lambs come on the market. ‘Where opposite conditions prevail the ewes should not have lambs until the weather bas warmed up in the sprig Where feed is scarce, it {5 well to have the ewes drop the lambs late enough to take advantage of the grass. Ewes carry thelr lambs from 145 to 150 days, | Number of Ewes tos Ram: A ram ‘that Is over one year old can breed fifty ewes, To do this the ram should be taken away from the ewes in the day time, and fed a little grain with | Plenty of good hay and grass.

C. K Retail Association Votes New Plan for 2-Week Payments Intended to Work to the Advantage of Their Patrons in Buying Groceries. Grocers in Kansas City, Kansas, have undertaken to flight the high cost of living. They are doing it in the way of arranging the payment of charge accounts, attempting to have their customers bear in mind that when they pay cash for their goods they give them an opportunity to buy for less. Not long ago the Retail Grocers' association passed a resolution requesting the grocere not to carry accounts over two weeks. The association has a rating list, which shows the standing of every consumer of groceries in Kansas City, Kansas. It has long been known that the grocers have been losing accounts. These accounts must be made good in some way or other, therefore the grocer is forced to charge more for his goods. In order to eliminate this extra charge for groceries, the grocers have undertaken to limit the time of all charge accounts. It is planned to hold up accounts after they have gone over two weeks. "Most people are familiar with the fact that the retail grocer, even in normal times, does business on a very small margin of profit. We are no exception to the rule. "Over 16 months ago the market began to rise. For a long while, although forced ourselves to pay higher prices, we maintained the same retail prices. Even when prices rose so high that we were compelled to advance our prices we still did not advance them in proportion, preferring to sacrifice a share of our own profits to forcing the cost of living any higher. "During all that time we have said very little about credits although everywhere in commercial circles the trend has been towards shorter time on all bills. Years ago we used to be able to buy on long time. Now the SEE SEE HOPE IN PLAN OF IN STREET Officials of Cities in Con With Entire System Tied Up Ind Persons Inconvenienced, Offi Troubles between M August 9.

Chapman, calls a meeting of officials of Kansas City, Kas., and Kansas City, Mo., to consider plans for mediation. A joint meeting planned for this afternoon. Alderman E. E. Lower of Kansas City, Mo., asks Mayor Edwards to call a special meeting of he city council to appoint a committee to attempt a strike settlement. His plans was to ask the strikers to return to work pending arbitration of their demands. Kansas City Railways Company officials make no promises of any attempt to resume street railway service within two days. Reports that 1,000 strikebreakers are being mobilized in Chicago and Eastern cities to be sent to Kansas City is denied by E. B. Atchley on the part of the Kansas City Railways company. Save for the interurban cars and the little United States mall cars, not a wheel is turning today on any of the numerous lines that go to make up Kansas City's street railway system. Nor is there any prospect of a resumption of service either today or tomorrow. The tie-up, which became absolutely shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon is to continue. No move has yet been made by the officials of the Kansas City Railways company looking to a settlement with the motormen and conductors who are out on a strike. And there is no indication that either the company or the men will yield. A bright ray of hope came to the many thousands of street car patrons—now walking or riding in automobiles to their work—when L. H. Chapman, commission of Water and Light in this city, suggested that the officials of the two cities get together and make an effort to end the strike by arbitration. Mayor Mendenhall at once acted on the suggestion by inviting Mayor Edwards and the councilmen of Kansas City, Mo., to meet jointly with them for the furtherance of arbitration plans. The Kansas City, Mo., officials agreed to a conference sometime this afternoon, to be held in this city. 2 o'clock and will march down town through the principal streets. Taking it Good Naturedly. So far, police report, former patrons of street car lines are taking the inconvenience brought about by the labor troubles good-naturedly and are walking or patronizing jitney busses with little complaint. Won't Import Strike Breakers' Persistent rumors about town, coupled with a press dispatch from Chicago of the employment of strike-breakers there, that the company would import men to take the places of the strikers, brought a denial from the street railway officials. E. B. Atchley, publicity man for the company, declared the company intended to handle the situation with men it could employ in Kansas City—the Inference being that it hopes finally to break the strike by the return of many old employees. The motormen and conductors on a strike show no sign of yielding. They say the movement yesterday exceeded all expectations as a much larger proportion of the men were enrolled in their union than they had at first counted on. Early today the committees were on hand at labor headquarters. in Kansas City, Mo., each busy with the work assigned to it. A great parade of strikers is scheduled for this afternoon on the Missouri side. The men will leave labor headquarters at P time limit we are allowed is 30 days. And for many articles we must pay cash. How are we going to do it unless our customers pay, promptly each week? "When our customers fall to pay promptly, we lose the chance to discount our bills—and these discounts are essential to you right now, if we are to keep our prices from advancing to an unprecedented degree. Surely you will help us keep down the High Cost of Living. "Naturally, too, the increased cost of food products makes us require more capital to handle the same amount of business. "We present these facts so you will know what we are up against. Always we have considered the interest of our customers in the same thought as our own. Our one aim is to continue to render the same services—and to do our share," in keeping the COST of LIVING as LOW as possible. "The co-operation of the public in the prompt payment of bills every week—or two at the most—and the cash payment of those who can and will pay cash—alone can make this possible. "Will you help us in our fight to keep down the high cost of living?" CHAPMAN MEDIATION CAR STRIKE conference This Afternoon definitely, and Nearly 500,000 officials Undertake to Settle the Men and Company In the suggestion of Commissioner L. H.

So far, police report, former patrons of street car lines are taking the inconvenience brought about by the labor troubles good-naturedly and are walking or patronizing jitney busses with little complaint. Late yesterday afternoon and through the morning rush hours today the streets of Kansas City, Kas., were a sight worth seeing. Hundreds of motor cars, trucks, vehicles of every kind, pop-pop machines and bicycles were to be seen speeding along loaded down with men and women, while streams of pedestrians were to be seen everywhere. Kansas City is realizing for the first time what it is to have a great street railway strike. But there is little complaint. Tags bearing the inscription "I Will Walk Until the Strike Is Ended" are being distributed by street car men and 'strike sympathizers to pedestrians and to men and women waiting on corners for motor car 'jitneys.' Automobile service had become fairly well organized by 8 o'clock this morning, both in business and residence districts here and intercity. Only Two Arrests. Only two arrests have been made both on warrants procured from the city legal department.

EFFICIENCY THE WATCHWORD IN EVERY DEPART. Members of the Chamber of Commerce learned a good many things about city government they didn't know before today the four city commissioners and the mayor appeared before them at a noon luncheon. And, too, the business men found out, much to the satisfaction of most of them, how in this day of exorbitant prices and increased wages, the city isn't going to raise its tax levy though the county, state and board of education levies have been increased.

AT said, the city is nearly always blamed for high taxes. But at least once, the city government is of no way to blame. The city tax rate will remain the same though the other divisions go up. Members of the city commission explained how they have mapped out a plan of economy that will result in a great saving and will allow the city government to operate without any increase over ast year. They also showed how the present administration is working under a handicap imposed by the old councilmanic form of government—paying off old bond issues. The city's valuation is higher by some three million dollars. That will bring in a little more revenue at the old levy rate. Only the police and fire departments have been allowed more money than a year ago but most of the increases in those divisions are prescribed by law and the commissioners had no option.

CROWN PRINCE KAISER WILHEM These are the most important of the German military and leaders summoned by the German kaiser to a mighty war council in the conquered Belgian city of Brussels. In allied countries the war council coming at the very time of the British and French offensive in Flanders, is considered significant and in many places has been accepted as substitution of the report that the Germans intend another Von Hindenburg "retreat to victory." Those summoned to council by the German emperor included Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, chief of the imperial general staff; General Von Ludendorff, quartermaster general, and next to Hindenburg, considered the biggest military man in Germany; the German crown prince, commander of the forces in the Champagne; Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, commander of the armies in Belgium; Grand Duke Albrecht of Wurttenberg, and Vice Admiral Voh Capelle, minister of the imperial navy. THIS DOG HAS SOME TALE; WE'LL TELL IT Portland, Ore., Aug. 8—F. A. Pierce, a goat raiser of Canyonville, Ore. has little to do except market his goats and collect the money. His collie dog "Shep" does all the work and shoulders the responsibility of J. Parent, of Menominee, Mich., who launched the organization. Each of the divisional conference will be presided over by the county divisional superintendent; Mrs. J. McNaughton, elementary superintendent; Miss Elizabeth Sparks, secondary superintendent and Dr. E. A. Reeves, adult superintendent. The program at both the conferences and general sessions is now "Shep" has a method all his own in taking care of his charges. Instead of driving them, "Shep" leads the goats. At sunrise "Shep" is stirring around trying to get someone to open the gates. After that he plants off for the mountain pastures with his flock scampering along behind. All day he leads them to the choicest spots for feeding. Late in the afternoon "Shep" gives the signal and the procession starts for home. If he arrives before the children of the household have come home, from school, "Shep" leaves the goats at the gate and rushes to the schoolhouse to notify the children that it's time to open the gates. If molested by animals or strangera the goats run to "Shep" for protection. Pierce, with the aid of "Shep," raised the champion goat exhibit at the San Francisco Exposition. The animal's hair measured 4112 inches long. MEN WITH DRAFT NO. 258 TO ORGANIZE Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 8.—"The Loy- New Big Chief At Head of U. S. Shipping Board THE MASTER OF THE WINTER EDWARD N.
