BRUMBAUGH'S NOT
I FANCY POLIIIW
Tells Crowds if They Want a "Plain
Pennsylvania Dutchman,"
He's the Man
Close to ten thousand persons heard
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican
candidate for Governor, state his po
sition as a candidate at the Meyers
dale Fair, the big Somerset gathering
yesterday.
"I am not a politician, never was,
and never will be," said Dr. Brum
baugh in stentorian tones as the Im
mense throng surged around him on
the fair ground. "But if the people
of Pennsylvania want a plain Pennsyl
vania Dutchman for Governor, I am
willing to accept the job. and 1 assure
you that I will see that the State
government will be efficiently and
honestly administered In the Interest
of all the people."
Dr. Brumbaugh's speech electrified
his hearers, who enthusiastically ap
plauded his clear statement of his po
sition on the public questions that are
agitating the State. Dr. Brumbaugh
wae warmly greeted by hundreds of
personal friends gathered from all sec
tions of the county who learned to
know him at church dedications and
other meetings.
The thousands of people at the fair
manifested an enthusiastic sentiment
for the entire Republican ticket, and
if their expressions are a fair criterion
Somerset county will roll up a fine
majority for the Republican candi
dates in November.
Somerset county's mining interests
have felt the depression in the indus
trial world during the past year and
are clamoring for the return of the
Republican party to power to insure
another era of prosperity.
A reception for Dr. Brumbaugh was
held at the Colonial Hotel In Meyers
dale when thousands of people shook
him by the hand and tendered their
best wishes for his success. He was
compelled to make a brief address
from the hotel balcony before pro
ceeding to the fair grounds.
Penrose at Towanda
Senator Boies Penrose on his first
visit to the northern tier on his cam
paign for re-election was assured of
strong support not only in Bradford
but throughout the tier of counties.
At the Towanda Fair the Senator was
greeted by a great throng, principally
farmers, many of whom voted the Bull
Moose ticket two years ago. but who
now are staunch Republicans on na
tional issues, and eager for the resto
ration of the policies of that party.
The sentiment of the people of Brad
ford on political issues is such that
Republican leaders of the county are
confident it will go for the Republican
ticket in November by a substantial
majority.
The Senator went to Towanda on in
■v itation from the managers to attend
the fair. The crowd present was esti
mated at more than twenty-thousand.
When he arrived voters were massed
about the tent where Republican
headquarters had been established.
He was presented to them by C. H.
Jennings, chairman of the Republi
can county committee. Among those
who greeted him were many of the
former Bull Moosers of the county and
several Democrats, who declared their
intention of voting for him because of
the business and industrial depression.
The farmers of Bradford county are
especially disgruntled over Democratic
tariff legislation. They fear Canadian
competition in the sale of farm prod
ucts and they are anxious for a revi
sion by the Republican party of the
ngricultural schedule of the Under
wood law, therefore the Bradford
county farmers will fight shy of the
Bull Moose and Democratic tickets.
Farmers' lje«rtsl. tlon
From a platform in front of the
grandstajid Senator Penrose addressed
the crowd. He was introduced by
Chairman Jennings, who referred to
the Senator's great Influence in the
enactent of tariff legislation and
predicted that he would be returned
to the Senate.
In his address Senator Penrose at
tacked the agricultural schedule. He
declared that while it had hroUght the
Pennsylvania farmer into foreign
competition nobody had been benefited
because the cost to the consumer has
not been reduced. Just as the farmers
of this State were entering upon an
era of prosperity they found them
selves ruddenly confronted with com
petition from the Canadian farmers in
the markets for dairy and other farm
products, said Senator Penrose. Can
ada is as close to the New York and
other eastern markets as Bradford
county. The farmers of this section
of Pennsylvania must be brought to a
realization of the conditions that
threaten their welfare, which if not
corrected is certain to prove destruc
tive. Every patriotic Pennsylvanian
regardless of party affiliation should
join in the effort to send to Washing
ton men who will support legislation
that will restore prosperity to the peo
ple. The difficulty now Is the nation
is governed by men who are entirely
unfamiliar with the needs of Penn
sylvania.
The heads of the most important
committees of Congress are men trom
the southern States, who have no
sympathy with our views regarding
the tariff and.other fiscal policies. The
Pennsylvania idea, however, is the
idea of New York, and of New Eng
land, it is the idea of Illinois, of In
diana and other western States. In
fact the Pennsylvania idea is the idea
of America for Americans and pros
perity for all.

Miss Sara Frieberger, a pretty

cover and all, and struck a dome light

split and a piece of glass struck Miss

CENSORS WORK HARD
ON -INVASION STORY
Account of Early Fighting in Bel
gium Tells of Hardships
of Soldiers
London. Sept. 11. 7 A. M.—A cor
respondent of the Associated Press
who has been through Belgium sends
a long message from Rotterdam which
was rather heavily censored through
out, but which appears to be an ac
count of the invasion of Belgium ob
tained from a German point of view.
Something was deleted at the begin
ning. The story follows:
"From Brussels the German army
poured over southern Belgium into
France, spreading like a fan in the
direction of Beaumont, Maubeuge.
Mons and Lille, Joining in the south of
Belgium with other army corps total
ling forty army corps or over a mil
lion and a half of men.
"They went over the French border
without serious resistance, the French
scattering before them in great dis
order, leaving behind much war ma
terial. their retreat extending as far
as the forest of Mormal in Northern
France. Several rear guard actions
occurred, resulting in considerable
losses to both sides and bringing up
the losses of the Germans in Belgium
to about 60,000. Southward in the
direction of Maubeuge, innumerable
skirmishes occurred from August 23 to
August 26. At Bray, west of Blnche
the French and English were repulsed
by the Germans. The French then re
treated to Bonne and Esprante where
they fell back, 10,000 English retiring
to Jeumont at the same time.
Determined Resistance
"Engagements In the vicinity of
Buisslerre and Thuin constituted the
most determined resistance offered by
the allies. After two days' artillery
duel which swept the surrounding
country and demolished almost every
structure the right wing of the allies
withdrew far to the southward. This
gave the Germans an opportunity to
sweep through Beaumont and ap
proach Maubeuge from the south.
"Meanwhile the other corps had ap
proached Maubeuge from the north,
entirely investing the fortress. The
English and French were, on August
23, driven across the Sampre river
where, on the south bank of the river,
in a thirty mile front, fighting con
tinued for three days.
"The German wounded in all cases,
were well cared for and the dead
burled as fast as tlw« army continued
on the march whilc'the French dead
were left unburied and the wounded,
in some cases remained in the bat
tlefield for three days before receiving
attention.
"Large numbers of French wounded
were brought into Solre-on-Sambre
from the surrounding woods whither
many had dragged themselves to es
cape. Every conceivable kind of build
ing such as the chateau, sehoolhouse
and inn was used as a hospital.
Die From Exposure
"A large portion of the French
wounded died from lack of prompt at
tention and long exposure in the open
without food or drink. No cases were
observed where French medical men
were left behind to take care of their
wounded. The German medical corps
was fully occupied with the treatment
of its own wounded and was hastened
onward by the forced marches of ex
traordinary speed and duration made
by the Germans.
"The French dead in all sorts of
conveyances, were a common sight
and squares and semetertes with un
finished graves, gave mute evidence
of a hurried French retreat. Dove
shaped German aeroplanes whirred
constantly over the country and occa
sionally one Baw French aviators far
enough aloft tp be out of range of
the special German guns designed for
the destruction of air craft.
"I saw a duel between French and
German machines, both of which were
disabled in a hard battle. After ca
reening downward in giant circles the
two machines plunged to the earth
almost side by side and were com
pletely shattered while the aviators
were Instantly killed. While aloft
both the pilots and their assistants
kept up a lively exchange of revolver
shots."

Allies' Left Is About
to Take Its Revenge
Bv Associated Press
London. Sept. 11, 4.37 A. M.—The
correspondent of the Times at Bor
deaux sends the following:
"It is now beyond doubt that the
German turning movement to the
southeast of Paris had been defeated
and there is a dawning hope that the
allies' left, which has borne a rain
of the enemy's blows since the lighting
at Mons began, is now about to take
Its revenge.
The Germans have been fighting
desperately to guard their line of com
munication which is in considerable
danger from the allies' left. They
have been forced to retreat before
the onslaught of the British and the
withdrawal of the German right is
bound to assist the French in forcing
back the center unless the Germans
desire again to find themselves obliged
to follow the imperial chancellor's
advise and 'hack' their way through.
The German check in front of the
Meuse and Verdun line has had Its
echo throughout the field of peratlons.
On the extreme French right the ene
my's division, hearing down upon
Nancy, has been thrown back behind
the forest of Champenoux."

of the German legation.
"During the night," the dispatch
continues, "the legation Is guarded by
aeroplanes which pierce the air with
searchlights In order to prevent hos
tile aeroplanes from approaching the
town unobserved.
"A French or Belgian aeroplane
succeeded in dropping four bombs
without, however, doing any serious
damage. The railway line at several
places has been destroyed."

CAVALRY RAIDS TOWN
AS OCCUPANTS SLEEP
Belgians Have Long List of German
Acts to Present to Presi
dent Wilson
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 11.—partial list
of the alleged German atrocities In
IBelgium against which the Belgian
king has sent a protest to President
Wilson was made public to-day by
Count Louis de Lichtervelde, secretary
of the Belgian commission bearing the
protest.
At Ltnsmeau. when the Germans
entered the village, two uniformed
gendarmes attacked the Germans,
Count de Lichtorvelde said. "In re
venge the village was invaded on the
night of August 10. Two farms were
destroyed, the crops were destroyed or
carried away, six houses were hurned
and all the men were compelled to
hand over their arms.
"It was found that none had been
discharged recently and finally the
men were separated into three de
tachments. Two of the detachments
disappeared. A third, consisting of
eleven men, was driven at the point
of the bayonet into a ditch and when
they piled in the German soldiers sat
upon them and beat, their brains out
with the butt ends of their rifles. The
eleven battered bodies were found
later by Belgian troops.
Officer's Head Blown Off
"On August 12, after the battle of
Haelen. Colonel van Damme, com
mander of a Belgian regiment, was
lying wounded on the battlefield. He
was unable to move. Several German
soldiers found him and placing their
revolvers against his mouth blew his
head oft.
"At Boucelles the German troops
went into battle carrying the Belgian
flag.
"On August 10 the German eavaJry
raided the town of Yolen while the
inhabitants slept. One instance of
which they did may be cited in the
case of a man named Degllemme,
whose house was fired and looted. Tie
and his wife were taken from the
house half naked. He was dragged
away in one direction, she in another.
She was released when two miles away
and told to run. When she ran the
German soldiers fired at her, but she
escaped the bullets and staggered back
to the site of her ruined home in a
pitiable condition. Her husband also
was released and fired upon when he
ran. He was found, mortally wound
ed, next day on the road outside the
town."
A. Rastem Bey Tells
Secretary Meaning of
Turkey's Latest Move
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Sept. 11.—The
Turkish ambassador, A. Rustem Bey,
explained in detail to Secretary Bryan
to-day the meaning of Turkey's abro
gation of all conventions and capitula
tions restricting the sovereignty of the
Porte. The ambassador made it clear
that American missions and schools
would continue to be protected by Ot
toman law although American citizens
would lose their extra-territorial
rights in civil and judicial cases. The
capitulation, which had been abro
gated, he said, would not affect the
existence of the missions which had
been recognized previously by Turk
ish law.
As Turkey's notification was of a
general character without specifying
particular treaties, officials had not
been sure of the extent of the action.
They were inclined to believe, how
ever, that as the special privileges
granted by Turkey were woven in moßt
all of her agreements, its effect would
be to break off Turkey's treaty rela
tions with the entire world. That view
was confirmed in Turkey's notification
that the Ottoman government had
adopted "as the basis of its relations
with other powers the general prin
ciples of International law."
Offlials here believe the effect of
Turkey's action will be as follows:
Americans and other foreigners who
have had the right of trial in civil and
criminal cases by their own diploma
tic and consular courts, now will be
subject entirely to Ottoman law.
Turkey will be able to increase or
reduce her customs duties without the
consent of the powers.
Americans and other foreigners who
hitherto have been exempt from the
payment of professional taxes can be
required to pay the same.
The religious freedom of Christians
will not be interfered with except that
the tax which Mohammedan rule lm-
poses on all who are not of that faith,
may now have to he paid by Chris
tians, if the Turkish government so
desires.
