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

causes an obstruction, preventing the

very readily and all that is needed is
to bend a piece of stiff iron wire in a

lo Save Paris
ALLIES RALLY ARMIES
Expect to Prevent Further Ad
vance o' Germans
ENGLAND SENDS MORE HELP
Paris, Aug. 26. —France is with
drawing from Alsace. 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

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.
Philadelphia, Aug. 26. Armored
steel automobiles for use by the Euro

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

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 -

VERDICT NOT GUILTY
Governor of Colorado Makes Public

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

The military verdict, a complete
vindication of the accused, is approved
in full by the governor.
The United Mine Workers will go

Another Attempt to Settle Ohio Coal

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.
Washington, Aug. 26. —Acting Secre
tary Sweet of the department of com

registering of foreign-built ships under
the American flag. It has been decid
ed it will not be necessary for these
vessels to be physically present at
American pons to be registered. This,
it is believed, will materially shorten
the time needed for the registering of
many vessels.

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
