O. of Odd' Fellows in Fulton has the discredit of having pulled out of Richmond the most disorderly excursion that has ever been known to leave Richmond, when the net results of the trip are summed up. It seems that quarrelling and disorder was a feature going down to Hampton over the Cheesapeake and Ohio R. R. The story of the affair varies in minor details, but the facts of importance are generally admitted. HOW IT OCCURRED. The way some of the people tell it is as follows: On going down to Hampton, quarreling took place between Harris and Winston. On the return trip, it is alleged that Bagene Harris had his foot extended from the seat in which he sat. Fred Winston acquaintance touched him and it is alleged that he resumed the activity in a manner that later him to put his foot in his pocket. STARTED THE ROW. As trifling as it may seem, it started the row and Eugene Harris, who was armed shot Fred. Winston, one of the balls taking effect near the heart or between the heart and lungs as if it is expressed and the other in the abdomen rib and hip. In the meantime, some one stabbed Harris, while Fix Allen Jefferson, of 719 Goddin St., Fulton wrenched the revolver from the hands of Eugene Harris. WOUND NOT SERIOUS. He did not succeed in doing this though before he had been shot between the lower rib and hip by Harris. The wound was afterwards found not to be serious. Harris got out of the seat and ran pursued by Jefferson, who shot him in the back and after catching him; he shot him again. The greatest excitement prevailed. Men, women and children got under the seats in an effort to escape the pistol fire. TRAIN WENT BACK. The train was out only about seven miles from. Newport News. The wounded and dead men were taken out after the train had backed into Newport News, Va. and then it proceeded on to Richmond, reaching the city Monday night. It was at first reported that three men had been killed. Eugene Harris, who lived at 312 E. Duval St. was buried from there last Friday at one o'clock. Brown Brothers, funeral directors, had charge of the remains. MANY WOUNDS. The deceased was insured in the Metropolitan Insurance Company it is said. He was not a member of the Odd Fellows. He had four stab wounds in his head. His skull had been fractured by either a black-jack or a bottle, it being thought that the former was used as the skin was not broken. He had a stab wound on the hip and he was shot twice in the back. Eugene Harris was 31 years of age and worked at the Union Envelope Co. He had two brother Albert and Linwood Harris neither of whom were on the train. OTHERS RAISED HIM. Harris' mother left him when a after small child, with Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Wood, 312 E. Duval St., who raised him and his brothers. Fred. Win-ston was only 18 years of age. He resided 4413 Williamsburg Avenue. He was shot in the abdomen and breast. His remains were turned over to Funeral Director W. S. Selden and the funeral took place last Thursday at one o'clock from his residence. He was not an Odd Fellow and he was insured in the Metropolitan Insurance Co. and the Metropolitan Insurance Co. DEATH ENDED IT. Harris took his girl down with him on the operation, but her name and family name not to have been known. It is known that been exonerated and the outlook is that the matter will end with death as the arbiter, as practically the main participants are cold in death.

I. Haskins' Commita Sulcide Making Rope from Bed Sheets. W. I. Haskins, a traveling salesman Wednesday afternoon hung him self in the City*Jail with stripe torn from the sheeting of his bed. He had arrested on a warrant sworn on by Mrs. Ida M. Childress, 1402 West Broad street, in which he was charged with being suspected of being insane, and had attempted to cut his throat at her home earlier in the afternoon. Haskins was 26 years old and is survived by several brothers and sisters most of whom live at Meherrin, Va. He was brought into the City Jail yesterday afternoon on a warrant issued by Justice of the Peace Purdie after he had seen Haskins, following his first attempt on his life. When brought to the jail, he appeared calm and sane, in the opinion of Dr. G. B. Perry, the jail surgeon, but no chances were taken with him, and after being bathed he was placed in what is considered the safest and best room on the hospital floor. Absolutely nothing was left in the room with which it was thought he could have harmed himself. However, Haskins succeeded in tearing a sheet from his bed into strips and with this made a kind of rope. He knotted the moose about his neck, and securing it about the top of the football on his iron bed, threw himself on the floor and strained himself by pepled and prolonged twisting on the floor. Dr. Perry and everyone bound into the room several times, but on each occasion the man appeared all light and slurred him. The man discovered on the floor by the man, a several minute stretch. Editor Murphy Objects. (Balto., Mf. Afre-American Ledger.) It seems that in the city of Richmond, Va., a number of "big Negroes" have registered as "Democrat," and are desirous of participating in the Democratic primaries, and Attorney General Pollard, of that State, has given forth his opinion that none but white men are eligible to participate in a Democratic primary. We find ourselves in agreement with Mr. Pollard, viewing the matter wholly from the point of view of a Southern white Democrat. It is a great mistake for colored men, in Virginia, to seek to participate in a Democratic primary. We certainly hope that such will be kept out: the real reason for "disfranchisement" of the Negro in the South, is the conviction that the white man alone should govern. This certainly is the inspiration of the disfranchising laws. The disfranchisement of the colored man is not because he is ignorant but because he is a Negro. This being a fact, how can white Democrats consistently hold such a position and at the same time admit Negroes to vote in their own primaries? Such an inconsistent attitude would proclaim that after all Negroes were disfranchised solely because they did not vote the Democratic ticket. Colored Virginians ought to recall some of the history of their own state which does not extend to the days before the war. Just about 1877-8, a great and serious row occurred in the Democratic party. At the time of its occurrence the Negro was absolutely out of state politics. The Democratic party had undisputed away. It was the poorer and common classes arrayed against the quality and class. It became warm and exceedingly interesting. One side appealed to the Negro for help and the other side appealed to the Negro for Virginia colored leaders formation about the coalition on both sides. John W. Daniel, Peel Brooks, William H. Lester, and others, on the side of the "Debt-payers," and Mahone, Pete Carter, Anderson Taylor and others, on the side of the "Readjusters." Here we have an actual case where the Democratic party was split, with colored vote divided on both sides. But Mahone made the largest bid for the Negro vote, and he gobt it. What was the result? Why he kept his word, and delivered the goods. In evidence that he did deliver the goods, a brief recitation will suffice: Three colored men in the state Senate, twelve or fourteen in the House; colored pages as well as white pages; two Negro clorks in the Auditors office in the basement of the old Capitol building; Negro guards pacing up and down the State penitentiary; money appropriated to found Negro school at Peterburg and money to erect a new insane asylum for colored people, and a number of other concrete, results. Now what is the lesson to the Negro from all this? It is plainly this, keep out of the, Democratic party and primaries until you are invited in at the front door. Oh you it will come, but it is a case of long patience, and getting ready in the meantime. If you let the Democrats severely alone and attend to your own business, after awhile, as sure as the night follows the day, they will get into a big row among themselves and each side anxious to win will turn to Sambo for help. At present we are receiving the most valuable part of our education. We are learning how to wait. We are mastering the great faculty of self-control. We are learning obedience through suffering, and when we come again we shall come to stay and to render a genuine contribution to civic affairs. Let the Democrats alone. As the poorer whites become more and more ambitious to entirely run affairs, and relegate to the roar the blooded class the climax will be reached, and our opportunity will dawn, and we shall then have no need to go around to the back gate. Just now it is a case of serving by waiting. "He serves who waits." Rev. Dr. Talaferro Dead. Philadelphia, Pa., August 18, 1914. On last Monday at 1 o'clock the funeral of Rev. G. I. P. Taliaferro ex-pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia and for many years the very able Editor of the Christian Banner, took place at the above named church. Dr. Taliaferro was stricken about two weeks before his death with nasal hemorrhage and though the Doctors did their best to relieve and save him yet to no avail. Death came Thursday the 12th between eleven and twelve o'clock p. m. His funeral was largely attended last Monday at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, the church which he served as pastor for seventeen years being succeeded by Dr. W. F. G. Graham three years ago. Rev. R. J. C. Jackson, D. D. of Jenkinsown presided the funeral and a host of others delivered short addresses, among whom might be Duncan Jarry Minnell of the Holy Trinity Church; Hea. Harry K. Bass, member of the Pennsylvania Legislature Revs. E. W. Johnson, T. D. Atkins, Alexander Gordon, C. D. Tindley, L. Corrothers, J. Anderson Taylor, W. G. Parks, A. R. Robinson, and W. F. Graham. The house was packed with about eighteen hundred people and about three thousand were on the outside. Dr. Tallafero leaves two daughters, the others relatives not having been found. The funeral was conducted in an orderly, quiet and most respectful way. Rev. E. W. Moore. D. D. was master of ceremonies. The resolutions were read by Rev. Dr. Gregory of Atlantic City. There were at least 350 ministers present. The body was interred in Eden Cemetery. Dr. Tallafero had failed in business and so died dependent upon his friends and the Holy Trinity Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and the Holy Trinity Baptist Church assumed all responsibilities for his funeral expenses and along with the other Baptist ministers and friends raised quite a handsome sum for his two daughters. It was a beautiful sight to see Dr. Graham and the Holy Trinity Baptist Church and the ministers rise up in the spirit of true Christian charity and come to the rescue of Rev Dr. Tallafero and his family in the hour of death. Famalipot There. The discovery of two cases of small pox yesterday broke a perfect score that has been registered by the Health Department for more than two months. The patients are Ollie Langon, colored twenty two years old, and Michael Hillett. Tampkins colored thirty four years old. Both lived at 64th Avenue. The health authorities discovered that Mr. Hattie Tompkins operated a boarding house at the address given, and that thirty or more persons were furnished there with their meals. Ollie Langon was one of the boarders. Both patients were at once removed to the colored smallpox hospital. Measures have been taken to quarantine all unvaccinated persons who were exposed to infection. The Health Department has traced the cases to Raleigh N. C. from which place it is stated the disease was brought here by a colored man who came to Ridgemond to work. Botm the white and colored smallpox hospitals have been vacant for more than two months, and the two cases discovered last Wednesday are the only ones in the city.

His finger prints are taken by the New York police. He old mother prints in vain for him with Infective Michael Kearney. Montgomery is placed on trial for his life charged with murder. Convicted of murder in the second degree, he is sent to Bing Hing as a life prisoner and enters the machine shop. His cellmate, Bill Hawkins, a burglar, plans to aid Montgomery in escaping from the prison. Bill makes Montgomery a suit of clothes, but it is seized. Montgomery comes out of machinery that is to leave the prison. Escape, he hides in the New Jersey marshes and changes his clothing for that of a drowned man. Detective Kearney vainly questions Bill Hawkins concerning Montgomery's whereabouts. Montgomery becomes a tinker and travels nightly. As "John Nelson," Montgomery enters a cotton mill and invents very variable machines. He meets Molly Bryan, a beautiful girl. CHAPTER IX. HOWARD LANSING, who had immediate executive charge of the great working force of the Reedy mill, was a master both of man and machinery. At the half century mark of life, he had come to admire and hold on fine two things—ability and decency. These two things struck canno-like to his vision in John Nelson, who had applied to him for work, modestly, as a plain machinist. No tangle of a million threads from the tubbins brought an exclamation of disgust from his lips. No solution of any intricate mechanical problem caused him to exult. Nelson was Lansing's kind of man, and the superintendent invited him to come and live at his home. Both men were taciturn, appreciative, but with holding their words, as do most men who handle and care for the wonderfully animated sinners of industry, which speak only with their product. Nelson was glad to accept Landings offer and transferred, his belongings to the superintendent's comfortable home on the curving and road that runs from Greenwich upward toward Paris mountain. Mrs. Landing welcomed the stranger, and her little brood of four children soon accepted him as a member of the family. His bedroom windows opened to the blue mountains, which cut him off from the rest of the world. In these surroundings, which gave him almost the full claim of domesticity, Nelson started his new life with a growing sense of security. There was no idle moment in the day's calendar of hours and minutes for John Nelson. He worked put for the pay that was given, but the pay was increased from time to time, and monthly his earnings went to swell a bank account thus reached three figures. Two nights of each week the light in his room burned until after midnight. On these nights he labored at his desk on the plane of a device that would mean the saving of thousands of dollars a year in wreaths from the carding machines of the mill. The waste filled the air with lime, cooking the operatives as they worked. A new adjustment of certain parts of the machinery, won the problem engaging his mind. He wrought over his plans until he felt that they would stand the proving test of a model; then the accumulated wages stood him well, as a forgotten friend sometimes stands a man. He had the model built and installed in the city of the Lansing home. Power was obtained by connecting a small dynamo with wires supplying the house with electric lights. Cotton was brought from the mill, and one night, Laughing and Nelson sat for an hour watching the toy carding machine meet the new demands of economy pot open it. There was not an ence of cotton waste. Nelson was to be made rich by the product of his genius and his patient tell. "It's all right, old man," said the will appreciate the service. and you appreciate FI and us. Buggy, the president of the program, and not him to run even, appreciated Lester. The tall president, a gray and overcoat gentleman, watched the house within a half hour, and the little through gathered about the machinery to see it in operation. "Mr. Bryan, this is Mr. Nelson," said Landing, introducing the president to his fellow worker. "You have heard no speak of him. I thought his achievement of such importance that no time should be lost in informing you of it." Mr. Bryan extended his hand to Nelson. "I am glad to meet you," he said, "and I hope that your invention will prove all that Mr. Landing expects of you. He is quite a partisan of yours, though. He likes to sing your praise, Mr. Nelson." The model was ready for the test. Nelson switched on the current. Mr. Bryan sat watching it in operation, stroking his white mustache reflectively and peering with keen blue eyes at the new cogs and rollers fashioned under the direction of this mechanic who had crossed the North Carolina border to join his army of workers. "I congratulate you, Mr. Nelson," said the mill president. "Your new carding machine will make you a great deal of fame among millmen. It will make you a comfortable fortune also. I am sure, and it will benefit mill workers. It is a pleasure to me to think that one of my own men has accomplished this, and I shall aid you all that I can in seeing that your patient rights are protected." Lansing and Nelson saw Mr. Bryan to his machine and then went to the library. "I hope we don't lose you when the money comes in," said Lansing. "Less me?" school Nelson with a smile. "This is my home, and I hope to live and die here. I came here friendless and have found friends and fortune." The mill president lost no time in having Nelson invention fully processed by patents. One of the wealthiest of southern capitalists, it was a simple matter for him to call the attention of the manufacturers of mill machinery to the work of his emp J. M. "I congratulate you, Mr. Nelson" ployed. For the right to manufacture and sell his improved carding machine Nelson was paid $10,000 cash and given a royalty on the sale. "When the transaction was cleared and the money deposited in his bank John Nelson felt that the dream of his prison days was beginning to materialize. The foundation of the fortune necessary for plan to prosecute a worldwide search for the man for whose crime he had suffered was laid. His aim was higher than money and ease. To pile up a fortune was only a detail of the task before him. His brain was already busy with the incubation of another invention." The Sabbath following the disposal of the patient right was a day of sorrow and grateful contemplation to Nelson. He attended services with the Lanastra and then shut himself in his mom. "His reflections were brought to an end by a call from Mrs. Lanastra, informing him that Mr. Bryan wanted him on the telephone. He hastened to the instrument in the hall below and answered a pleasurable greeting from the president. "I have a letter from the people you signed with" Mr. Bryan informed him over the wire, "and they desire to know whether they may have an option on your second invention." "The next one may be a failure, sad Nelson, with a little laugh of pleasure at the praise given him. "I would like to talk the matter over with you," suggested Mr. Bryan. "If you have nothing else to do, come over to stopper. My car is beautiful; suppose I run over for you?" "Thank you; I shall be gled to spend the afternoon with you." "Detter still" Mr. Bryan added, "not your things together and spend the evening with me. Then we can talk into the night and I'll take you in to the mills with me in the morning." Nelson promised to be ready and left the instrument to pack his soft case. Within half an hour he was with the mill president in his motor, speeding over the hard, red clay roads toward his home. The autumn was well advanced. The leaves and fumes of the forests through which they traveled were touched with gold and brass and crimson. The Bryan home was in the center of a magnificent estate of 1,000 acres, through which she sowed a branch of the Salada river. In the distance, amid many majestic and ancient shade trees, the white pillar of the mansion glimmed. The master daughter of the groom gave and brought us a wonderful array of spouses from the city and people from the family assembled in the plum. "Here we are!" cried his Bryan alighting from the ear. He ran up the plum stairs, Nelius following, to a stately woman with腋衣 hair. "Mother," he said, "this is our great Mr. Nelson, and this is my oldest boy, Jim," went on Mr. Bryan after Nelius and greeted his hostess. "He is just your age, I should think, Mr. Nelson and here is Miss Molly Bryan, my daughter." Nelius turned from James Bryan to his sister and looked into a smiling, girlish face. To him her eyes seemed to be patches of blue clipped from the heavens. The sunlight of youth and a light heart was in them. Her hair was gold, fine spun and plied high on her shapey bead. Her cheeks were rich in coloring, like the cheeks of English hands, and her lips were sweet and full. Although there lurked in her constant smile the coquetry that is the possession of all pretty girls of twenty, she had the grace of bearing of her mother, a wide brow and a chin that suggested strength of character and determination. "I am glad to meet the famous Mr. Nelson," she said pleasantly as she studied his face for a moment. "We have heard father speak of your inventive work so often. He says that you are a wizard with machinery." Nelson felt his face grow hot. All that he had known of human affection was the great love that his mother had given him and the dumb, animal like devotion of the old convict who had helped him escape from Sing-Sing. There seemed to be a carress in the limp eyes of this lovely girl before him. His heart beat wildly within his bles. The warm touch of her barral sent a thrill through his whole being. "I—I didn't know that I had become famous," he managed to stammer. "Oh, last father knows all about machinery, and he says that you are a wizard," she laughingly protested, the color in her clothes demeaning. The music of Molly's laughter lingered in his ears as Nelson followed his host, "My boy, Jim, is a lawyer," Mr. Bryan told School. "We shall be busy on some other legal matters before we can take up the question of your next invention. I'll leave you to the care of Molly. She is a great walker, and I'll warrant you that when she brings you back from a tour of the place you will have a splendid appetite for supper." Walking at his side, over paths heavy with fallen leaves, Molly Bryan seemed to him less of earth than of heaven. The castle of the crusade and golden leaves under their feet drowned the soft soils of her garments. The heard only her voice; he felt only the appreciation of the sanctity of her presence. When he dared speak to her he had to make an effort to keep his monocous voice from twobbling. She felt instinctively the effect that her narcissism had upon the quiet, modest companion of her walk, and Molly Bryan accepted with a feeling skim to save the tribute it impelled. Not knowing the depth of his nature and greeting nothing of the tragedy of his life, she attributed his taciturnity to sympathy. She soon found a way to unknown his tongue. "It is glorious in the Indian summer," she said, as they paused to feast their eyes upon a mingling of gold and errine leaves, "but in the spring it is even more beautiful through all this country. Before the snow disappears the trailing airbusus is to be found on the mountain sides." The simple pleasures of the road, when he had traveled as a poor tinker in his flight from the north to this haven, had brought him the joyful knowledge of growing wild things. She lured him from his silence with questions about trees and flowers and brought from him his simple praise of all that was so freely given to him who would but open his eyes and look about him with discernment. She listened to him eagerly and coaxed him with questions when he faltered and seemed suddenly concessions of the fact that he was actually talking to her. The sigh had gone across the mountains into the Tennessee country and beyond when they returned to the Bryan home. The supper hour, with Molly seated at his side, the charms of a contented family circle and the hospitable attentions of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, put Nelson at ease. "It will not be necessary to worry longer about the proposition of your manufacturers to secure an option on your next invention." Mr. Bryan told Nelson as they left the table. "They sent along a contract, and Jim has gone over it carefully. Jim thinks that it is very fair and that it will be to your advantage to close with them." Nelson thanked his employer. "Your first invention has made you practically independent, so far as wages go," said Mr. Bryan. "And I most confess that I am a little disturbed on this account. I would like you to remain with us. In a very little while I may be able to offer you the general management. New mills are to be built in the adjoining county, and Landing and the present vice president and general manager will be here there to get them going." "It is a very high compliment you pay me, Mr. Bryan." Nelson replied. "I had no intention of ever leaving Owleville. I hope that I shall be found worthy of your belief in my capacity." The two chatted until bedtime. Mr. Bryan enjoying more than one cigar so he studied Nelson and coming to the conclusion that he would make no mistakes in advancing him until he joined the board of directors of his company and became his right hand man in the operation of the great plaster pastor his care. Nelson went to his room. Thoughts of Molly must have followed him, for man, but he was never the man he was. But, however, when he remained the master that manured them. If so come in him to strap him with his wife would enter a blind without a slick thing. In the reign of the county of the land, he was written down as a convicted murderer. A prize was upon his head! A billion bloodbound was smelling the wealth over for a count that would fetch him in pay. There was one way and one way only to lead him to happiness. With the wealth he gathered he would procure a bount for the most murderer. He felt that the time had come for him to set about this task. A large reward might aid in bringing about the capture of the man. But who would offer it? Detectives might be employed in every city of the country to seek him out, but who would employ them? Menace most dreadful, would be his the moment he stirred from the cover he had found in this peaceful mill city. After all he was nothing but an escaped courier! CHAPTER X. The Hand of the Law Stretches Out. AFTER his visit to the Bryans and his meeting with Molly, Nelson struggled heroically to put aside thoughts of love. He sought to divert his mind by charitable work among the poor and ignorant of the mill bands. Nelson began to give a part of each day to helping those, who were in dire need, in seeing that the sick were beaten and that the hungry were fed. It was while on one of those little journeys, which he made secretly, that he again came in contact with Molly Bryan. He found her struggling to straighten out the affairs of a family in one of the bleak little cottages provided for the workers. The father of the family had gone off with another woman. The mother had just added another baby to her already large brood, and there was only the monger pay of the two oldest children to keep the wolf from the door. He found Molly playing the part of a ministering angel in this misery on cumbered home. She made him understand that she appreciated his work for the poor and that she was interested in him. But he avoided acceptance of invitations to visit the Bryan home. Although Nelson devoted every hour of the day for the next succeeding four months to perfecting a second invention, the winter proved a period of mental agony to him. His second invention was tested in one time and brought him an even larger financial reward than the first, but, try as he might, he could not throw from him the great love that absorbed his soul. His thoughts dwelt upon Molly Bryan as he worked, and his nights were filled with dreams of her. At times he was perilously near carting the dice with fate and declaring his love for her and asking joy to be his wife. But when it seemed that the soul within him would parch and perish if he did not take that step his brave nature asserted itself, and be passed through, the fire of affliction safely. With a part of the money that began to flow into his possession from royalties, as his machines were put on the market, he bought stock in the mills where he was employed. He was chosen a director of the company at its January meeting, and Mr. Bryan took him into active co-operation in the direction of the management of the plant. Nother the mill president nor his daughter could understand. Nelson's avoidance of their home. Thus Nelson loved her Molly knew, with all the intuition of a sensible and sweet girl. That she had given him no reason to believe that he was otherwise than welcome she was equally certain. It was perhaps the failure of John Nelson to press his suit thus made the first feeling of tenderness and admiration she had for him turn quickly into genuine love. It is only that which is hard to grasp, that is denied for a long time, that makes hunger of soul or body. Toward the end of winter a thing occurred that drove deep into Nel- C. C. The Hound Was Still After the Quarry, son's heart and made him diecce immediately as he hit his future course. Mr. Bryan ensured his office in the mill and banded his a letter that had been opened. In the left hand corner of the envelope was the seal of the city of New York and the printed words, "Department of Police, New York City." "You might read this for your own guidance," Nelson, said Mr. Bryan. "and then pass it along to the foremasters of the various departments." Nelson drew. Forth the letter, a memorized sketch, stating that a booty kept for James Monguery, escaped captive and murderer, announced "Nothing nothing, siren, or any man," replied Helen. "we are worried about; but better take it up with trouble," advised Mr. Bypen. He pled the floor of his right blood man's office for a moment, strutting his gray muscle. "Look here. Nelson." he said, in a kindly, half troubled tone, "something has been worrying you all winner. What is it? Tell it to me. I am your friend." Nelson's face was as white as the snow on the ground outside. It was not the caliber of the man to lie. If he bad tried to lie he would have made a bungle of it. "I can't tell you," he replied. "Is it Molly?" asked Mr. Bryan. Nelson did not reply. He could not. "She thinks a great deal of you, my boy," said her father. Nelson left his desk and stood before Molly Bryan's kindly father. A confession of his love for the daughter treubled on his lips. He felt that at any moment a torrent of words would pour forth from him and lay bare the whole tragic, terrible story hidden in his breast. Under the secret he carried his heart lay like a stone. He would have given his left arm to have closed his office door and made his confession, but he had been hunted long enough to feel the sense of caution itself. Mr. Bryan returned to his office, and Nelson toon it, bits the police circular. He would into to go away. There were two reasons. The hound was near the quarry; his plight was bringing sadness to the woman he loved. Not more than a score of miles beyond his office window the boundary lines of South Carolina tapered between North Carolina and Tennessee, making a mountainous corner. There few of the people could read. The questions they asked were about the weather and the scent crops of corn from which they illicitly distilled enough whisky to provide them with money for clothes and medicine. Their habitat was called the Dark Corner. He would withdraw into his shadow. Perhaps after a few years, he could come out of the wilderness with safety and and Molly Bryan waiting for him. It was sweet for him to think that any one would wait his coming. At first the scheme seemed visionary, but careful study of it convinced him that it was not only a plausible plan, but the safest he could devise. He would buy a number of acres and build himself a home and a workshop. His determination to devote all his energies to invention for a number of years was logical and would furnish the necessary explanation. In the spring, while the new still lay upon the ground in shady places, Nelson attacked the wilderness with a gang of workmen. He had bought 600 acres in the Dark Corner. Here he tried in a shady with his workers, as they made a clearing and be directed the blasting and cutting of rock from the uncarved sides of the mountains for his foundations: When his carte in the Dark Corner neared completion he journeyed back to Greenville, arriving there in the night. He timed himself so that he caught an express train north. In a distant city the next day he wrote and included with a dollar certificate this personal, addressed to the business office of the Herald in New York: "Bill-Greenville 19-3-Kid." The number 10 meant the nineteenth letter of the alphabet, "E" and the number 8 meant the third letter, "C." Of all the men in the world there was but one that he felt he could surely trust, one that fully believed him, one that would come and help him, and this man, with the succor be called for now a convict. Nelson's castle in the Dark Corner took shape rapidly. It rows two and a half stories above a basement of rock. From the upper windows he was given a clear view of every point of the circle where sky and earth meet. The outside was painted a neutral color, so that only a keen pair of eyes at a distance would have picked out the habitat amid the surrounding shade trees. The high basement was planned for kitchen, servants and storage purposes. The first floor was arranged for his workshop, the floor above for his living quarters, and the top of half story was to remain closed against every human hand serve that of Nelson. There was goosip among the machinists and laborers who uncrested the measures of steel and iron that had been hauled over the mountain roads, for among the things that were not deposited on the laboratory floor were certain weights with leather claps about the thickness of a man's ankle. There were also iron bars and affixes of rope and polished wood that looked like trapsmen and gymnastic apparatus used in the circus. These things were placed at the foot of the stairs leading to the attic. There was a heavy lock to the floor, and the master of the strange mountain castle never parted with the key. A small electric plant was installed to provide power for his shop and lighting. Built against one side of the castle was a cement garage. In which was kept a motor of powerful build and fast engine. It had been constructed especially to stand the strain of brown mountain roads and carried a huge grossine tank and a place for porcelain. The parage could be entered from the castle by means of a door of mounted design, which showed neither facing nor knob. A hidden spring opened and closed it. As if smoking to get all the smog possible, the house that John Malone built, two of many windows, and still sits in the deep French style. Boar Beginning the memorial program at honors, Karen posited the only way he could use the full power of his heavy motor in increasing the it it became necessary to tax its speed. He had promised Mr. Bryan to remain in an advisory capacity as the vice president of his mills, and to keep this promise he stretched from pine to pine a private telephone wire between his castle and the office and home of the mill president. He started his hermit life with two things before him besides his work as a mechanical inventor. One was to wait the coming of Bill Hawkins, to whom he would intrust the task of seeking in the underworld the murderer of the watchman of the West End bank in New York. The other was to prepare himself to face the day, should it ever come, when a man from Mulberry street would confront him and charge him with being James Montgomery. He told himself that he would never be taken back to it alive. His good, capable, well ordered brain had mapped out a careful course. Should the bloodbounds of the law come upon him in this place he had built for final refuge he would make his right to pass them. During his visits to Greenville he washed checks paid him for royalties on his inventions until he secured $10,000 in certificates of denominations he could use anywhere. Each morning he passed through the door to the attic stairs and locked it behind him. For an hour he worked with the weights and bars, changing his measurements slowly, but surely. The fraction of an inch in the length of arm or leg would discredit the Bertillon record made of him and dled in the bureau of identification at police headquarters in New York. He gave many an hour of agony to achieve this, and his face was chalky white when he left the attic and locked its door behind him each day. With the anxiety and the hard work in his laboratory a touch of gray came to his hair and beard. He looked in a man of forty-five, save when he smiled, but the purity and goodness of his nature shone forth in his countenance. More money came to him as the for eign rights of his inventions were dis posed of, and he cast about him for an opportunity to put it in use for others. He employed as many of the sturdy mountains as he could in road work paying them good wages. He patched their cabins, provided medicines for their sick, and blankets and stout cloakies for the women and the chil- dren. The scattered families of those poor people looked up to him with mingled wonder and gratitude. When time rid them of their childlike timidity they came to know him and to love him. There, is no statute of limitations for an escaped convict. He is always least intimate country. Nearly ten years had passed since James Montgomery was brought before the duke of Inspector Ranscombe at police headquarters in Mulberry street. There had been changes at headquarters in that time. The administration of the city was in other hands. The police department had gone through the throes of more than one shakeup, and there had been several police commissioners. Ranscombe had been relieved of his important post as the chief of the city's little army of plain clothes men, but he had played the game of department politics well and had won his way back to the central office. On his return he found Detective Lieutenant Mike Kearney, atold, emotionless, writing for an assignment to a cnae, as usual. The inspector knew his value and had him promoted to the grade of captain. He assigned Kearney to take charge of the bomb squad. The men under Kearney were the pick of the 700 and more detectives of the department. Kearney started out in his new post with a state clean, save for one inscription—the number 00.108. He felt that he was being cheated every day that the escaped convict enjoyed life outside of Sing Sing's walls. Had Montgomery been a thief, a forger or a bigmatter he could have turned the matter over to his inspector as a case still pending. But he had been convicted of murder, and his case properly belonged in the homicide bureau. Gradually Kearney got the affairs of the bureau working to suit him, and he could pane and give some study to the Montgomery matter. His mind turned from the evil corners of the metropolis to the walked city up the Hodson. Time had chanced the prison staff throughout the state. There was a new superintendent of prisons and a new warden at Sing Sing. Kearney called up the new warden and asked for an appointment the next hine he came to the city. The murder was even then about to start for town, and he would drop in at headquarter. Wikhin two hours the guardman of King Sig's population was sent inside Kearney's dock. "I got a case," explained the detective, "that I'm anxious to clean up. Ten years ago I sent a young fighter named Montgomery to king king for murder in the second. He was put away for life. Five years ago, before you got on the job, he escaped. A creek named Hawkins, his cell mast, helped him to get out. I was Hawk's turned out, but I don't want him to know that I had anything to do with it. I'll have a shadow put on him to protect he leaves prison, and if he that young girl he helped got in, I just gotta get the fighter and put ```markdown ``` when he took to the house and made well little film both within its enclosure. The woman needed approval, a smile of appreciation starting about him. "The graduation board is now in session," he said, with a laugh. "We'll turn him out as an act of mercy and in the hope that he will reform and make a good citizen." "Til get a couple of shadows up there in the morning," Kearney told him. The worden Separated, and Kearney closed his desk and started for dinner in his mother's little set in Oliver street. ASKS PUBLIC TO REMAIN NEUTRAL Nation Must be Impasial in Word, Thought and Dead, Mr. Wilson Saya. President Wilson addressed a communication to the American people, asking them to observe strict neutrality in speech and conduct, in the present European conflict, and to act in a spirit of impartiality, fairness and friendliness to all concerned. His statement says: "My fellow countrymen: I suppose that every thoughtful man in America has asked himself during the last troubled weeks what influence the European war may exert upon the United States, and I take the liberty of addressing a few words to you in order to point out that it is entirely within our own choice what its effect upon us will be, and to urge very earnestly upon you the sort of speech and conduct which will best safeguard the nation against distress and disaster. "The effect of the war upon the United States will depend upon what American citizens say and do. Every man who really loves America will act and speak the true spirit of neutrality, which is the spirit of impartiality and fairness and friendliness to all concerned. "The spirit of the nation in this critical matter will be determined largely by what individuals and society and those gathered in public meetings do and say, upon what newspapers and magazines contain, upon what ministers utter in their pulpits and men proclaim as their opinions on the street. "It will be easy to excite passion and difficult to allay it. Those responsible for exciting it will assume a heavy responsibility, responsibility for no less a thing than the people of the United States, whose love of their country and whose loyalty to its government should unite them as Americans all, bound in honor and affection to think of her and her interests, may be divided in campa of hostile opinion, hot against each other, involved in the war itself, in impulse and opinion if not in action. "Such divisions amongst us would be fatal to our peace of mind and might seriously stand in the way of proper performance of our duty as the one great nation at peace, the one people holding itself ready to play a part of impartial meditation and speak the councils of peace and accommodation, not as a partisan, but as a friend. "I venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to you against the deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides. The United States must be incept in fact as well as in name, during these days that are to try man's soils. "We must be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb upon our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle before another. "My thought is of America. I am speaking, I feel sure, the earnest wish and purpose of every thoughtful American that this great country of ours, which is, of course, the first in our thoughts and in our hearts, would show herself in this time of peculiar trial a nation fit beyond others to exhibit the fine police of undisturbed judgment, the dignity of self control, the efficiency of dispassionate action; a nation that neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own council, and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest, and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world. "Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves the restraints which will bring to our people the happiness and the great and lasting influence for peace we covet for them." The President is understood to be deeply concerned because naturalised Americans who came from countries now at war have taken sides in public discussions in the United States on the European war. CROWN PRINCE WOUNDED Reported That Injury to Hair Results in Kaleo Being Summoned. ed in Kaiser Being Summoned. An official announcement: in Paris pays the rude in persistence at the Huguenot, that the German crown prince has been seriously wounded and is in狱中 as Al-La-Chapelle, whether the Kaiser has been toilled in his side. German Troops Attack Allies. CUT RAILROAD LINE Kalser Hurls Army to Pierce Centre and Divide Allies. WOULD OPEN WAY TO FRANCE French Continue Aggressive Campaign in Alsace. Evidence that a battle of genuine importance is being fought in Belgium came from Brussels. There it was reported that the bq Germans had cut the railroad line from Brussels to Namur at Gembloux. Gembloux is understood to be the main position of the French sent into Belgium and it is also the point at which military experts have expected the Germans to strike. The cutting of the railroad would only be possible, it appears, if the Germans were operating in strong force and the Brussels report may well be evidence that the long expected big battle actually is on. Earlier in the day the London "express" declared that such a struggle was on, but indicated that the collision of mighty armies had come farther north, near the historic field of Waterloo, with the Belgian capital as the objective of the Kaiser's forces. A serious defeat for the Allies at Gembloux woud split their northern army in half and would lay bare northern France to the invading Germans enabling them also to proceed with the great forces understood to be centred in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. At any rate there is good reason to believe, from the meagre censored despatches of fierce outpost affairs, that a serious engagement has been in progress since Monday between the Allies and the Germans south of Brussels. Officially it was announced in Brussels that the movement of the Germans toward that city has been "definitely stopped," but other reports show 25,000 men busily engaged in digging trenches and adding to the weak fortifications of the Belgian capital. At the same time the seat of government has been removed to the strongly fortified port of Antwerp and that city the Belgians are determined to hold at all hazards. Patrols of German cavalry were sent north of Antwerp. The shell guard was mobilized at full strength to man the forts. 600.000 Germans Engaged. Some reports say 600,000 Germans are engaged in the forward movement upon Brussels. A Reuter despatch to London says all the Kalisers troops fronting the Belgians have taken up strictly defensive positions and are entrenching. This may indicate that after the long process of feeling out the Allies' lines the Germans have taken up their positions for the big battle, if that conflict has not begun. Meagre Berlin despatches by way of Copenhagen, tell of a German victory at La Garde where entrenched superior forces of French were defeated and the village taken in a brilliant cavalry action. Two French batteries were quickly captured and many prisoners were taken. The German artillery fire is described as especially good. The same despatch shows that the German government has again demanded the surrender of Brussels, promising in turn the evacuation of Belgium as speedily as the exigencies of the war would permit. The demand was refused. It develops also that there was considerable fighting Sunday to the south west of Louvain, the Belgians' main concentration camp. About 1,000 German cavalry, according to some accounts in Belgian newspapers surprised the Belgians while they were plucking, coming from the direction of St. Trond. The Belgians were thrown into confusion but rallied and the timely arrival of a battery saved the day for King Albert's troops, following this affair. It is said, the Belgians advanced their position from Louvain to Beyard, in the direction of Dien A report from the Hague says the Germans have completed the destruction of Vie by a second conflagration, the inhabitants fleeing into the Netherlands. One remarkable report from Brussels is that the Germans along the Meuse are "in a muddle." Based on aviation reconnaissance, it is suspected that army corps upon army corps have been massed behind a "crippled front" which burn their proper noses. This same dispatch says that the Belgians are prepared to make their push at Antwerp, and that the Kaisers will have to meet half a million men qualified that position alone. French River Strasbourg.

Lorraine and their cavalry is within ten miles of Strasburg, the Alasian capital. The French war office asserted that the French forces had penetrated 32 miles within Lorraine and controlled all the territory west of Fenetranga. Despite official reticence Paris is persuaded that the French have suffered severely and It is said that the hospitals are, overflowing with wounded. One view of the military experts is that French successes, together with the Russians menace on the east, may force the Germans to check their invasion of France through Belgium and Luxemburg and place the Kaiser's troops on the defensive. The general Russian advance on Germany and Austria, began on Sunday, the seventeenth day of mobilization, according to the London "Times" The Russian mobilization has been completed. This speedy action of the Czar's big fighting machine is looked upon as disconcerting to the Germans. One feature of the news was the "going to the front" of members of the royal families. The Czar has gone to Moscow to make his headquarters with the army, while eleven other members of the Russian imperial family are with the troops. In London it was announced that Prince Alexander of Teck, brother of Queen Mary and future Governor-General of Canada, was going on foreign service. It was officially announced in London that all the British expedition had been safely landed in France. The expedition comprises between 100,000 and 120,000 men, together with 500 guns. Two German Cruisers Battered Two unidentified German cruisers made port at Hong Kong, China. Each was badly battered by shells, their superstructure and deck works being demolished. The Austrian torpedo boat 19, struck an Austrian mine off Poula, and was sunk. It is persistently reported that the German crown prince, Frederick William has been dangerously wounded and that the Kaiser has hastened to his side at Aix-La-Chappello. Earlier despatches said that the Kaiser, crown prince and two other imperial princes were at Mainz. The French war office continues to assert that all goes well with the operations in Alsace. It reports the Germans as retiring in disorder, abandoning shells, wagons and provisions. The main French invading forces, it is said, to have gained from six to 12 miles all along the frontier of Al-ace-Lorraine. It is believed the first great battle will be fought at Strasbourg, a strongly fortified place, toward which the French are marching through the valley of Bruche. Progress of the movement also is reported in the valleys of Ste. Marie and Villec. The world-wide character of the war is evidenced in despatches telling of the seizure by the Germans of a coast town in British East Africa and of fighting in the German possession of Togoland, on the Gold coast. The Servian premier is authority for the statement that Austrian forces have suffered a serious defeat on the Servian line. He telegraphs London that 15,000 Austrians have been annihilated near Gaban. The Alexandrian Library.

Austrian Mountain Gun Detachment In the conflict between Austria and Serbia a great deal of the fighting will be in the mountains. Neither country has a first class navy, and the armies will be depended on for victory. In this picture there is shown a number of the Austrian mountain guns.

SATURDAY...AUGUST 22, 1014 A wild boy is bad enough, but a wild girl is an abomination. Colored folks seem to be never so happy as they are when they are "fussing." --- Every person who looks prosperous has not the money that he is presumed to have. Colored people who support each other at each and every opportunity are laying the foundation for racial prosperity. The wild colored man, filled with meanness and whiskey is a risky proposition anyway you take him. A man's pocket book is a very unsafe place to keep money, especially if he is liable to meet good times and the jolly crowd. A person who wrongs you today may suffer for it tomorrow or the next day or the day thereafter, but he will suffer for it. Some colored folks, especially women, know how to get under benches when a rumpus occurs on a railway train. Mothers who are raising children should see to it that they stop fitting them for the falls, penitentiaries and the electric chair. --- "The wages of sin is death." Two corpses put under the sod this week from too much whiskey and women attest this fact. The Germans may lose out, but they are certainly winning the admiration of the world in their hold deistance to the great powers of Europe. Colored folks of respectability should avoid the companionship of the disreputable and the vicious. If they are caught with this class, of people, they will be adjudged accordingly. --- The relatives of the colored roughhouse crowd on the excursion train seemed to have an eye to business, when they kept those people insured, knowing that death would overtake them sooner or later. --- The educational number of the A. M. D Zion Quarterly Review is up to a high standard of excellence under the editorial management of L. W. Kyles, A. M. D. D. It is published at Mobile, Ala. There is many a person carrying insurance on their bodies and they do not know it. Those people who pay the premium know it though at least once a week and they will know it when death comes. No one can understand just why Germany went to war or why all of the other nations are about to be drawn into the conflict, but it is evident to even the blind that they are fighting each other to the death. --- There are several more young men hereabouts, who are ready and willing to be supported by any fair looking girl. The first come will be accepted. Dissatisfaction and sickness guaranteed. Pet names and affection for advances assured during the first six months of married life. When the second letter, *a*, has the courage of his conviction, and this is a "mighty valuable" asset these days. Some people have never been properly reared and they accordingly cannot learn or understand the first principles of politeness. These kind of people are certainly handicapped in the race of life. They can go so far and no further. --- When an excursion party of colored people comes back to town with two dead and one wounded, it seems to us about time to stop running excursions or carry a couple of undertakers with each train that pulls out of Richmond. Hundreds of girls just want to marry in order to get the matrimonial "handle" to their names and then a few months afterwards, they want either a bill for separation or a divorce, provided they can find another man who will do for them what the other one failed to do... support them either in loneliness or riotous living. 1. The A. M. E. Church Review is well edited by Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom and is a credit to the denomination. His query, "What will Bishop Walters do now?" stirred the able divine to a spirited reply in a recent issue of the New York Age. It shows that the brilliant churchman feels keenly the criticisms which have been expressed as to his attitude and the embarrassing position in which he and his associates have been placed by the truly remarkable attitude of the Wilson administration. The reply though, is a "gem" of its kind. He meets the issue squarely and leaves no doubt in the mind of any fair minded person as to what Bishop Walters will do now. WOMAN MURDERED; ASSAILANT ESCAPES. --- Annie Hylee is Shot Down—Police Trail Eddie Pollard. --- Creeping up behind Annie Hyde colored: of 502 N. Thirteenth St. as she stood talking with Pearl Stratter before 400 North Seventh Street Friday night, 14th inst. a colored man said to have been Eddie Pollard, shot the woman once, and as she fled with a bullet through her side, fired again at her. The woman staggered to U. L. Lucchoski's restaurant, at 615 E. Marshall St., where she fell to the floor and died almost instantly. The second bullet fired by the murderer was shot up Seventh St. toward Broad, and it is considered almost miraculous that it did not strike one of the hundreds of pedestrians walking along the thoroughfare at that time. The neighborhood was in an uproar almost instantly and some half dozen policemen were on the scene in a few minutes. The man who had fired the shots fled down Seventh St. to Clay, thence to Eighth to Leigh, along Leigh to Ninth, and then directly to the dump at the end of that street. OFFICERS FAIL TO CAPTURE. Behind him sped Patrolman Walsh and A M. Smith and Thomas Jones, a brother of the murdered woman. The pursuers became mired in the smouldering debris of the dump and lost trace of the fictitive. He had not been captured but a general alarm was sent out for him, and as he is well-known to the police, it is believed that he will be captured soon. The shooting is said to have been one of the most cold-blooded of recent months. It was caused. It is said, because the Hyde woman had Pollard treated on a charge of beating her. He was to have been arranged in the Police Court to answer this charge. According to those who knew the Hyde woman, she is said to have said that Pollard had threatened to kill her for causing his arrest, and that she knew he had been looking for Nier. She did not see him as he crept through the gloom of the street last night, and was unable to speak after she fell in the restaurant door.

TROSE POOR, HARMLESS- -LITTLE FELLOWS, DONCHA THINK THEY WANT TO ENJOY LIFE JUST THE SAME AS- OOF! A RAKE PICKING ITS TEETH HARVESTERTRUST MUST DISSOLVE U.S. Court Declares Company a Monopoly. ACTIONS ARE CRITICISED Get Ninety Days to Dissolve Company or the Court Will Appoint a Receiver. The International Harvester company was declared to be a monopoly in restraint of interstate and foreign trade and was ordered, dissolved by a majority decision filed in St. Paul by Judges Smith and Hook in the United States court. Judge Sanborn disengaged. Unless the $140,000,000 corporation submits a plan for the dissolution of the combination into at least three independent concerns within ninety days of the issuance of an appeal mandate from the United States supreme court, the decision announces that the court will entertain an application for the appointment of a receiver for all the properties of the corporation. The majority opinion held that the International Harvester company was from its organization in 1902 in violation of the Sherman law. The original corporation, formed of five concerns, violated the first section of the Sherman act by bestraining competition among themselves. The combined organization also tended to monopolize trade in contravention of the second section of this law. The decision declares that while the International Harvester company and its selling organization, the International Harvester Company of America, control from 60 to 85 per cent of the trade in agricultural implements manufactured by them, their treatment of smaller competitors in general has been fair and just. The court finds fault with the actions of the corporation, aside from the technical violation of the Sherman law, for only two actions. The opinion declares there was no excuse for the advertising of the products of D. M. Osborne & Co. as independent for two years after it had virtually entered the International Harvester company. The other act censured by the decision was the manner in which the five original concerns were turned over to the International Harvester company by William C. Lane, a New York banker, who contended that he had purchased the properties. "The court is clearly of the opinion," the decision reads, "that the process by which it was made to appear that the properties were sold to Lane was merely colorable." President Organs Food Price Probe. President Wilson took his first step to prevent the price of foodstuffs from being increased unwarrantedly as the result of the European war. He addressed a letter to Attorney General McReynolds asking him to investigate recent inflation in prices and to take up the question whether the persons responsible are liable to prosecution. The attorney general replied at once that instructions had already been sent out to district attorneys and special agents of the department to investigate conditions in their localities. He states that the department had been investigating the price of foodstuffs for some time. Mr. McReynolds suggests that the department of commerce assist in the inquiry. The president promptly gave the required instructions.

Fourteen cannon have been captured. The Austrians were trapped in a mountain valley by a strong Servian detachment, which was supported by machine guns mounted in advantageous positions. The attacking Austrians were surprised so suddenly that it was impossible for them to form a battle line and they retreated in confusion, leaving their artillery behind.

It is well to remember that what you have that you can't help but give away in your influence. Bear in mind that your influence is never wholly absorbed, nor does it disappear into nothingness. It counts again and again. Influence has no end. The three greatest objects in life—friends, happiness, success—are each dependent upon proper influence. So it is good to know that even the humblest person is, after all, master of his own influence. He can send it out to scatter sunshine or shadow. It's his choice. A man's greatest responsibility in this world lies in the way he acquires and gives out his influence. Your influence today is sure to have a tremendous bearing upon the total work of the world. Your influence upon other people and the influence of other people upon you are sure to become a force and a factor in the complete work of your day and theirs. George Matthew Adama.

Aeroplanes darting at dirigible balloons, placing their thin carcasses and exploding their gasoline tanks until attack and attacked full to destroy. Maddened with the war pains, the aviator is glad to die. If so he can but take with him the enemy who dispatches with him the majority of the atmosphere. War in the air is a reality. Long the dream of the post and no doubt who saw real in the glare of the sun, it lies in the prospect of European war fulfilled all the sound prophecies that have been made about it. The military aviator circling over upward and outward in his search for his life, lives upon him in the upper reaches of the air. These have been alarming, shocking and haunting positions, each time hiting upon giving his own gunfire sight and sending to deal a destructive to the other aeroplanes.

Problems are far more intricate now than then. New methods of transportation have removed old difficulties and raised fresh ones, and today it is the nation that can begin to fight the quickest that wins those initial advantages, which often lead to ultimate victory; even over a superior force. The fighting strength of France is about 3,000,000 men—an army only smaller than those of Russia and of Germany. She has some difficulty in keeping her active regiments at full strength, but her powers at a pinch have astonished, the world more than once. She has shown her astounding elasticity and ability to recover from most crushing reverses, while her troops have ever been imbued with patriotic fervor, and the fierce spirit of war. The French army must be confessed a magnificent fighting machine, albeit the French spirit of militarism is a curse to that great country, and a grave stumbling block in the way of her true progress, according to some. On a peace footing her army is about 500,000 strong, or more than three times as large as it was forty-four years ago, when she suffered defeat it her memorable struggle with Germany. She has also improved mightily in her knowledge of military science since those days. It is said that France is behind other powers in her employment of smokeless powder and that her small arms lack uniformity, but time may prove this assertion erroneous, and, whatever else she lacks her field evolutions and strategic powers are beyond all question unsurpassed by any army in Europe. France is, of course, rich compared to her immediate rival, Germany, by virtue of her enormous agricultural resources. Tried to Pool*Frances's Enemies. As we have said, despite her system of conscription it is not easy for her to keep her regiments, full, and she lacks her great rival's astounding power of quick, motion and concentration, but it is possible that she insists on these defects too obviously, and if that case we may assume that France is not unwilling to be supposed, a little more being hand in her military affairs than is the fact. The nation that underlies her in time of war will as ceasily sue it, for when of late her strength had occasion to be put forth nothing appeared that might tend to show her a shadow weaker than her fellow powers. France now demands three years active service from all her male citizens then her soldiers pass into the active reserve, which position they occupy for ten years. During that time they are twice called into the field and each term of service lasts for a month. Her warriors then pass into the territories army, in which they serve for six years and during which period they go upon active service for one fort night. They then pass into the territorial reserve, where they remain until reaching the age of forty-five. Henceforward a Frenchman is exempt from military duty, but until the forty-fifth birthday he attends a master roll once a year and is at any moment liable to active service in the event of war. This role was abolished for some time, and a two-year active service option was adopted. To meet the requirements of the German army, following again of 1922, Prussia returned at the three year entitlement system, until 1926, when also keep three classes Photo by Amegao Press Association. with the colors instead of two. The effect of this law is to increase the peace strength of the French army by one-half. Great as is the sacrifice involved, it is nevertheless carefully made by the French people. A fresh attempt was made by executive order to adjust the longstanding differences between the war and navy departments as to who should have charge of the coast defense of France. The great trouble in the past was the divi LAME; 2. FRENCH SOLDIERS IN COFFEE, CHIEF OF STAFF FRENCH Mon of responsibility. The new order did not remove it. After the fall man movers, held near Toulouse, a great number of officers of high rank were summarily placed on the retired list owing to the inefficiency displayed by them. This anemic processing tended to the determination of the French to be ready at all times for action. The reservists are divided into different classes, according to the number of years which have elapsed since they quit active service. In all cases the Photo by American Press Association. FRENCH ARTILLER practice is to summon them back to the colors, with the intent to leave service first and the others in order. To sum up, the army of France is today among the most magnificent the world has ever known. In July of the present year, before the outbreak of the war, Senator Humbert made an exposure in Paris of the unpreparedness of the French war establishment in the immediate proximity of the Gagman frontier. It was not taken very seriously in France. General Kelm of the German Army league, who is an expert on the ins and cots of sentiment molding, said in Der Tag that the true inwardness of M. Hammert's revelations was a desire to pave the way for fresh French military armaments. The senator's declaration that the republic's army was not equipped to cross either the Moselle or the Rhine gave the whole game away, according to General Kelm, and illustrated clearly that the exposure was a parliamentary bluff for the purpose of arousing the country to the need of fresh sacrifices for military expenditure. The bluff was timed, says General Meim, in order to enable President Polkane to proceed to Russia with fresh assurances for the clear that France was prepared to do still more when the time came to enable the passin in the dual alliance to crush their mutual German foe. General Meim asserted that instead of being numerically inferior to the German army at the present moment France, with 900,000 troops under arm, was vastly superior. Her artillery also was in no respect than Germany's. In one or two directions it was even superior. An amusing incident throwing characteristic light on the miserling thoroughness of the French intelligence service was heard. A German frontier cavalry regiment near Meim was recently alarmed early in the morning and was ordered to carry out a make believe war himself considering in co- When the French government in France the Minister of Finance will win the government, just the alums from conserved in the old as their apportioned the good that a fellowman of French country was able to bring around the half-bank from the old side of the Pierrier. The firm, politically oriented in the bureau, has practically mastered management. Both the Curron and the French williams considered is a huge joint and, flimscanning, skilled for advisable conversation and excellent ranks for a master of French films. The French had prompt knowledge of the manager and met it. The death warrant for the French soldiers' famous red coats was signed in the chamber of deputies in July. In the future the army of the republic will go to war clothed in a neutral shade of gray blue, which, it is assured, will make the wearers invisible to the enemy at 500 yards instead, as at present, being plainly discernible at 1,500 yards. The change is expected to take seven years and does not affect the present situation. M. Messimy, the minister of war, in urging the necessity for the measure was supported in his argument by citing the example of the British army, which adopted khaki in the Transvaal, and the experience of the wars in the Balkans. In military aeroplanes the French army outclasses any other. The number of machines available for war use is put as high as 1,000, with aviators of experience to man them. For a century France has adhered to the belief of Bonaparte that the artillery, properly supported by infantry, is the most effective arm of the service. Napoleon himself was an artilleryman, and the handling of the big guns was a favorite study with him. It will be recalled that his placing of the guns in the streets of Paris during the revolution did much to make him the master of France. In all of the wars in which France has been engaged since the era of the first Napoleon—In the Crimean, in Austria, in the unsuccessful contest with Germany in 1870—Frenchmen have distinguished themselves by their handling of artillery. Their batteries are noted for their mobility and the ease and quickness with which the ammunition is handled. In addition, the placing of the batteries in time of action has been made a special study at the French military schools. Various foreign observers have certified their belief that in this branch of military work France loads the world. Indeed, it was asserted that the overwhelming defeat of the Turks in the recent war in the Balkans was due in some degree to the fact that their field guns, of German manufacture, were outlaked by the artillery of the allied Balkan powers, which was made in France. French military writers exulted openly over this assertion and declared that in the test of war the French guns would outmaneuver and outshoot the Krupps. It must not be forgotten that French officers and men have been tested in actual warfare in the north of Africa. The French colonies in Algiers are held only by the tenure of arms, and ERY IN ACTION. If war for their protection that France came so near going to war with Germany over Morocco. The tribes of the interior, near akin to the "first class fighting men" of whom Kippling wrote, have kept Frenchmen busy for many years. The campaigning on the desert is much harder than anything French soldiers are called upon to face in defense of their beloved fatherland or when invading the lands of their country's European foes. Above all, the motive animating Frenchmen in a war with Germany is the desire to recover Alassio and Lorraine, torn from France by the victorious Germans in 1870-1. The cry of "La revanche!" heard in France at intervals for forty years has never been stilled, and it puts new life into the French soldier to know that he is battling for the redoubts of the lost provinces.

No mention is made of the participation of French and British forces in the battles, from which it would appear that the Germans have not yet come in contact with the main allied army of defense supposed to be gathering at Namur. The tactics of the Germans indicate that they are trying to get into contact with the allied army, the position of which is hidden. The great battleground extends 300 miles, from forty miles northwest of Liege, Belgium, to Belfort, France, with the German army pressing forward and engaging in isolated battles all along the line. The German troops in Belgian Luxemburg are said to be starving and falling unconscious from privations. An official French account of the German repulse at Pont-a-Mouson on Tuesday says the French captured nine German officers and 1000 wounded and a battery of machine guns and surprised and annihilated the Twenty-first Paden dragoon regiment. FRIDAY. The German advance became more pronounced and general in Belgium. Their infantry advanced in the direction of Tongres an St. Trond, and another attack is expected in the direction of Dicet and Aerschot to the northeast of Brussels by several army corps. The German troops are marching on a front stretching from St. Trond to Hasselt. Their cavalry occupies a position to the right of Hasselt. Formidable defensive works have been erected by the Belgians around Namur. To obviate any pretext for reprisals on the part of the Germans, the inhabitants of Namur are being disarmed. An official statement issued by the French minister of war says that French troops have held their position in the Vougres mountains for five days despite vigorous attacks of the FIRST PRIZES.

At one point, says the statement, the Germans brought hostiles their weakened troops some formations of reserves but the latter were unable to resist the French attack and the entire division surrendered. The French troops hold the valley of the Bruche. Russia is reported to have mobilized 2,000,000 men on the German and Austrian frontiers, and 500,000 on the Turkish and Rumanian line, while 3,000,000 are held in reserve. Definite information has been received of a strong offensive movement by the French troops on the Franco-German frontier extending Luneville to Saoreburg. Official announcement is made that Blamont, Circy and Auxicourt were reoccupied after a Bavarian army corps was driven out. The retaking by the French of Thann, in Alsace, is officially announced and the wounding of general von Delmiling, commander of the fifteenth German army corps. The French war ministry prepares the public for a great battle, which will extend over a line more than 200 miles in length and in which several millions of men on either side will be engaged. This battle line will extend from Bastle to Munstricht, and the people are warned that at some points the Germans may be successful, while, it is added, at other points the French will have an advantage. The Belgium and German armies were engaged in force at Dinant, fifteen miles south of Namur in Belgium. The Belgians drove back the enemy. The great offensive movement of the French army along the line from Sarrebourg, on the Franco-German frontier was continued with great vigor. The French have recaptured Blamont and Thann. Russian cavalry has recaptured the towns of Kleice and Chencin, Russian Poland, driving out the Austrians with heavy losses.

Despite reverses, German troops in Belgium have made important advances and are now only fifteen miles from the French border. The progress of the German troops through Belgium is evidence that the victories of the allies have not retarded the Germans. The French troops forced their way through Alsace and captured a town in Baden. RIMED QUOTATIONS. Sin may be clapped so close we cannot see its face— —French.
