When a certain jurist made his first j appearance at the bar as a young law yer he was given charge by the state i solicitor of the prosecution of a man who was accused of some inisde j meaner. Although there was practically no evidence against the man, the youthful attorney did bis best, but was aston tshed when the jury brought in a ver dict of "guilty." After the trial one of the jurors tapped the young lawyer or the shoulder. "We didn't think the man was guilty," he explained, "but at the same time didn't like to discour age a young lawyer by acquitting him."—lla rper's Magazi ue.

It often happens that in attempting to uncork a bottle the stopper is forced into the bottle instead, and it thus floats on the liquid. This would per haps not be a drawback were it uot that each time the bottle is to be emp tied the cork comes to the neck and causes an obstruction, preventing the flow of the liquid. This can be avoided very readily and all that is needed is to bend a piece of stiff iron wire in a long U shape, properly fitting it in the ueck of the bottle so that the loop por tion projects somewhat below the neck. Upon inverting the bottle the wire loop prevent the cork from reaching the neck to obstruct it. Aluminium Hones.

The darling hope of the French people since the war of 1870 to regain the territory wrested from them by Germany must be abandoned in the effort to save Paris itself from the German armies that are pressing back the allies along the huge battle line of the Meuse. The fate of France hangs upon the out come of the conflict waging there, the French war office admits in a state ment which says: "The commander-in-chief, requiring all available forces on the Meuse, has ordered the progressive abandonment of territory. Mulhausen again has been evacuated." A new battle is in progress be tween Maubeuge (Department of the N'ord), and Donan (Department of Doubs). On it hangs the fate of France. Operations in Alsace along the Rhine would take away troops upon which might depend victory, IT is necessary that they all withdraw from Alsace temporarily in order to assure its final deliverance. London, Aug. 26. —That the great German army of invasion is sweeping with deadly efficiency on to France, and then to Paris, is indicated. Along a more than 200 mile front the allies falling back. It is known now, despite French de nials, that lamur has fallen, that the Uhlans have entered Ostend and that •he" French, English and Belgian ■ *jo ■BfP 1 ~ *. ■- ■- troops have been unable to hold the terrific onslaughts of the invaders, who are pouring in fresh regiments with apparent reckless disregard for lives. The invasion of France and the can •ure of Paris, once looked upon as an empty boast, is a fear that now besevs the allies. From London, Paris and Brussels all the scraps of news indi cate that the scope of the German victories is being hidden and that the countries ranged against Germany are soon to hear bad news. Just how close die Germans are to Paris is not known. That Namur, the Gilbraltar of Bel glum, has i alien after a surprisingly weak resistance, is generally con ceded. The London war office an nounced that the city had yielded and Berlki dispatches claimed that five of he nine forts had been invested. The 'arts war office, however, issued a bulletin denying that the city had been taken, but was mute regarding the ate of the forts. A flare of activity broke out in the north when a column of Belgians made a sortie from Antwerp and en gaged a German detachment. Ger mans were reported as having failed n an attack on Malines and fierce fighting was reported on the outskirts of Ostend between Belgium gendarmes and Germans, in which the latter were driven back. Although since their reverses the allies have drawn even tighter the urtain of ensorship that envelops the battle fi d, it is known that the Germans have forced them back until the real battle has shifted definitely to French soil. Tlie losses on both sides have been enormous, it is admitted, the allies npaently spending their men as freely as the Germans in the fighting of The last two days. It was an nounced officially in London that the British army had lost 2,000 killed in the fighting. The allies now are retiring upon the outer fringe of forts in France, where they will make another ef fort to stem the resistless tide of Ger mans. Their new line runs from Maubeuge, in a southeasterly direction byway of Hirson, Mezieres, Montmedy, Ver dun, St. Michael and Toul. to Epinal. All of these are strong fortresses and are interspersed with smaller works, such as Ayvelle, Genicourt. Troyon, Les Paroches, Mianville, Gironville and Jjuy-Sous-Les-Cotes. Behind these lies another strong line of fortifica tions frc.m St. Quentin in the north through Lean and Rheinis to the great entrenched camp at Chalons. The English newspapers declare that both the English and Russians eve deteimined to "fight to a finish" whatever the outlook may be at pres ent. They say the possession of Naanv was vital for Germany and it "was a fine stroke for the Germans Allies Making Desperate Stand Here Today pr# £—*> <£> \- 'X i * _ f C< r-c-r @ _ ( ~ \ A0# NOVI '1 cr^ mon t / r J Els VALtMCIIMULi v ( W // •OIXANT •ft ;&\ ../ n &S- v^--. ®J y SMovmq ( .-^ rovasE or aeertAM \ a T*oorj *vmo V TOR rrtt-WQf > J to have rushed the place under the eyes of the allied armies." Many of the military experts sug gest the French may have been over confident. They think that, misled by the success of the early Belgian operations some of the French corps commanders were too eager and ad vanced their lines too last and with * -yif out covering their positions. This i believed certainly to have been the case in Lorraine, where the French apparently rushed pell mell into a carefully baited trap. Paris, Aug. 26. —France strength ened the lines of her troops to meet the crushing advance of the Germans along the Luxemburg frontier and Simultaneously renewed the offensive in Belgium. The war office admits de feat in Lorraine and that the Gr a mans are now on French soil, concen trating at Luneville, Blamont and Cirey. This movement forces the French to fall back on their barrier fort line from Belfort northwest co Verdun. The invaders threatening this line are estimated at 700,000 with reinforcements arriving daily. Berlin, Aug. 26. —The Russians were defeated at Stallupoehn, sixteen miles east of Gumbinnen on Sunday, says the Lokal Anzeiger. London, Aug. 26.—Emperor Wil liam was halted in his victorious march through Belgium by French, British and Belgian troops. Th French and British held their lines west of Charleroi and Mons against repeated assaults. French and British generals report the morale of the troops to be excellent in spite of recent defeat. Germany's center armies which now face France's greatest forts, made no attempt to advance. Assault will probably be delayed until heavy siege guns can be brought up. Germany's army in northern Bel gium was defeated by llie French, English and Belgian forces at Malines. The Germans attempted to turn the allies' left Hank, the object being to force a retreat from Charleroi. The maneuver failed. The Germans fled before a counter attack and were pu"- sued far to the east of Malines. Bel gian troops are no*w actively co-oper ating with the French and English, the Germans having abandoned the r attack on Antwerp. Austria has declared war on Japan, according to reports received here from Rome. Lord Kitchener attended a meet ing of the British cabinet at the rer dence of Prime Minister Asquith. The meeting was in effect a war counc and was summoned to perfect meas ures to meet the German successes of the last four days. Lord Kitch ener appreciates that the public senti ment of England is greatly stirred and expects energetic action. "Papa William" Decorates Sons. Berlin, Aug. 26. —Emperor William has conferred the iron cross of the sec ond and first class on Crown Prince Frederick William and Duke Albrecht of Wuerttemberg, and the iron cross of the second class on liis son, Prince Oskar. His majesty sent the following telegram to the crown princess: "I thank thee with all my heart, dear child; I rejoice with thee over the first victory of Wilhelm. God has been on his side and has most bril liantly supported him. To him be thanks and honor. 1 remit to Wil helm the r n cross of the .second and first class. Oskar also fought bril liantly with his grenadiers. He has received th iroa cross of the second class. Repeat tiiat to Ina and Marie. God protect and succor my boys. Also in the future God be with thee and all wives. Papa William." Corner Local Wheat Supply. Cortland. 0., Aug. 26. —That the English government has practically cornered the wheat market of Trum bull county, 0., indirectly is learned here today. Practically every bushel of wheat that has been raised this year in that county has been purchased by a flour mill at this place. This mill has an order from the English govern ment for a ship load of flour. It will require the entire output of the mills to fill the order this year. Armored Autos For Belligerents.

MEXICO'S WOES NOT YET ENDED Spasmic F.eiO is Gciitit.ua Li Various Sections VILLA OPFOSEO TO CARWZA Federal Soldiers, Faid Off In Wortir less Money, Fiock to Vera Cruz E. lieving General Funston Will Assist Them —Carranza Sends Emissary to Villa on Mission of Peace—Lat.u Makes Conditions. Washington, Aug. 26. —That General Villa intends to oppose the election ol General Carranza to the presidency o. Mexico is the news received in Wash ington today. The administration hopes that the differences between the two Mexican leaders will be adjusted without any further bloodshed. General Carranza has sent one ot his three division commanders —Gen eral Obregon— to Sonora, not only tc smooth out the local troubles in that state, but to confer with General Villa in an endeavor to bring Villa into com plete harmony with the Carranza gov ernment. Villa have objection, it is learned, if Carranza retired as first chief provisional president and be came a candidate in the general elee tions, but Villa's followers are eonh dent that they could defeat Carranza at the polls. General Villa, it is un derstood, from reliable sources, has let it be known that he does not wish to enter the presidential race, prefer ring that no military man hereaftei hold the reins of power in Mexico, n is suggested in many quarters that Villa intends to propose as a candi date for the president Emilo Madero a brother of the late president. Vera Cruz, Aug. 26. —General Car ranza's decree closing the port of Vera Cruz has worked great hardship here While General Ilueria issued a simi lar decree following his occupation of the place it was never enforced. A general revolt among federal sol diers seems to have broken out in various parts of the country. Word has reached here that 8.006 of them under General Ortega revolted at Salina Cr' , on the west coast, and news of revolts in other places is con stantly arriving. Nothing is known here about Gen eral Villa's movements and consider able apprehension is felt that a new and general outbreak is iu the process of beginning. The fed< ral troops who have been mustered out are thronging into Vera Cruz. They have been falsely in structed by their officers, also mus tered out, that the United States army will care for them. All of them have been paid in money that General Car ranza has decreed worthless. As a re sult many of them are penniless and not a few are on the verge of starva tion. General Funston will have to face this situation. As yet he has an nounced no plans. It is generally rcc ognizcd that the problem i 3 a, seriou - one and may cause trouble. VERDICT NOT GUILTY Governor of Colorado Makes Public Court-Martial Verdict. Denver, Aug. 26—After a delay oi eighty-eight days Governor Amnions has made public the findings of the court-martial that tried twenty-one of ficers and eulisted men of the Colo rado national guard on charges oi murder, manslaughter, arson, robbery and assault, growing out of the de struction April 20 of the Ludlow tent colony in which three miners, thir teen women and children and two militiamen w r ere killed. The military verdict, a complete vindication of the accused, is approved in full by the governor. The United Mine Workers will go into the civil courts and ask that tne entire court-martial finding be de clared illegal and the soldiers brouj. it to trial on charges of murder and arson. MiNE CONFERENCE TODAY Another Attempt to Settle Ohio Coal Strike. Wheeling, W. Va., Aug. 26. —Presi- dent Albasin of the United Mine Workers of the Fifth Ohio subdistriet is making arrangements for another conference with the operators of the district on the wage scale to 'open in this city today. It is generally un derstood that the conference has been brought about through the initiative of the merchants of the subdistriet. The merchants have been forced to carry idle miners on their books and are of the opinion that both sides should make concessions. They inti mate that unless a settlement is ef fected soon they will be forced to withdraw credit from the miners. Expedites Vessel Registry.

This, it is believed, will materially shorten the time needed for the registering of many vessels. ENGLAND EASES CRISIS CALMLY Prapahd to Sacrifices to L a iiiai.i Position COLONIES SEiOiNG SOLDIERS Lord Kitchener. Secretary of State For War. In Speech In House of Commons, States Attitude of Eng land—Will Dc No Flinching. He Says—Sends ALsssrc of Congratu lations to British Troops In France. London. Aug. 20. -England is not dismayed by events in Belgium and France. The military authorities of Git at Br.iuui, familiar with the re sources of the Germans, expected re verses at the beginning of the war. h, v.tVci, nation ,s determined to prosecute the war until the Prussian military Juggernaut has been de molished. Lord Kitchener, speaking in the house of commons, said: "There \. Ai ue sen us conflicts which undoubtedly will strain the forces of our empire and undoubtedly considerable sacrifices to our people will be entailed. These will willingly be borne for our honor and for the preservation of our position in the world and they will be shared by our dominions, who are now sending con tingents and giving assistance of every kind to the mother country." Lord Kitchener alluded to Premier Asquith's statement in the house of commons that the British troops had greatly aided the French and had been able to maintain their positions, in the face of fierce German attacks. He'said lie had sent a telegram to Sir John French, the commander of the British expeditionary force, reading as follows: "Congratulate the troops on their splendid work. We are proud of them." - - Continuing, Lord Kitchener pointed out that the lighting in Europe would result iu greater casualties than th> campaigns Great Britain usually was engaged in. He said he was sure that the public was lully prepared to meet whatever losses and sacrifices the country might have to face, and he paid a tribute to the readiness of the expeditionary force and the invalu able aid of the press and public in preserving silence and accepting the novel situation. "While other countries engaged in this ovar have under their systems of compulsory service brought their full resources hno the field," continu* 1 Lord Kitchener, "we, under our nation al systi in, have not been so com pelled. Therefore we still have a vast reserve to draw from, the resources of both the mother country and the dominions. "The response which already lias been made by the dominions abundant ly proves that we have not looked in vain to tin so sources of military strength, and while India, Cana''**, Australia and New Zealand are send ing powerful contingents, the terri torials of 'bis country are replyi ; loyally to the stern call of duty. CUR WHEAT IN DEMAND Foreign Countries Bidding Eagerly In This Country. New Yo* ~ Aug. Sentiment in the financia district was distinctly de pressed tod- y by the inferences drawn as to the financial bearing of the de velopments ui the uroptan war. A slight stiffening in the sterling ex change market in response to the news of German sm cesses was hardly an adequate rfb tion of the aciu I change of feeling. Perhaps Wall street had been u. duly optimistic as to the duration of the gr at conflict. The demand for wheat from England ahd Franc has extended to Greece, Italy, Turkey and the Scandinavian countries. Most of Europe is bidding eagerly for wheat and oats in this market and the amount of fresh busi ness done this week iias already as sumed large proportions, but in spke of a somewhat freer offering of grain bills and also of finan e bills the ex change market remained exceedingly sirong. Rates even advanced sliglnly. CHANCE FUR PEACEMAKER Cardinals Will Favor That Character istic In Candidate For Pope.
