DP TO WEATHER MAN
ladiana county's annul fair is al
most upon us and next Tuesday,
when the fair opens, the weather man
will get his orders to cut out his
foolin', loosen up the heat waves,
throw back the clowds and let the
sunshine through and help make the
crowds happy and comfortable.
The fair this year is going to be
bigger and better than ever and no
expense has been spared to give the
patrons of the "great and only" all
the amusements and fun that can be
comfcrtably digested in the four days
of Indiana's annnal reunion.
The exhibits this year will be var
ied and interesting, especially to the
farmers. The entries for the races
are coming in fast and as one man
well up in horse raceing, said yester
day, we wouldn't be surprised if the
track record were broken. As in the
past, there will be plenty of frse
amusements, including an aeroplane
demonstration of bomb dropping and
free vaudeville in front of the grand
stand. Daily concerts by the Indi
na Military Band and other musical
organizations will be enjoyed. Fine
programs are being arranged and the
0 latest music will be heard.
Thursday will be the big day as it
always is but this year it promises to
have a rival in Wennesday, Old Sol
diers' Day, as the management is
planning to make this a day long to
be remembered, and will have as
their guests, the heroes of 61 to 65,
and will entertain them on the
grounds.
The harvests this year have been
plentiful and the new Horticultural
Hall will be filled with fruit and pro
ducts of the fertile hills and valleys
of old Indiana county.
Don't fail to set apart a day and
attend the big reunion.

General Wood Watching Business Men Training to Become Soldiers
PLATTSBURG, N. Y. —An unusual photograph of Major-General Wood
commander of the Department of the East, U. S. A., watching from behind
a fence, the business men who are in the military training camp here
rapidly becoming capable soldiers and defenders of their country. In a
talk to the men who are encamped here he said in part: "As Thomas
Jefferson said to Monroe: 'We must train and organize all our
male citizens and make military instruction compulsory in our colleges.
Until we do we will not be safe.' That is true today. We must have a
system of trained citizen soldiery similar tn that of Switzerland and Aus
tralia." A standing army of 60,000 men for our insular possessions and
one of 175.000 for duty in this country is needed.

Pope's Peace Message
Presented to Wilson
by Cardinal Gibbons
/
Pope's Proposal Seeking End of Hostilities
Follows Successful Negotiatins With
Germany on Sea Pilicy
Thinks Prospects Bright
WASHIGTON, Sept. 2. Cardinal Gibbons, dean of
the college of cardinals, presented to President Wilson to
day a confidential communication from Pope Benedict invi
ting and urgin this Government to co-operate with the Va
tican and neutral nations to bring about peace in Europe.
A conference on the same subject was held later at the
state department between Cardinal Gibbons and Secretary
of State Lansing. After his visit and confidential talk to
and with the President, Cardinal Gibbons said:
• I think the prospects for peace are brightening."
This statement, expressing the judgment of a rapresen
tative of the pope after conferring with President Wilson,
is regarded here as indicating that definitive results so far
as future action by this Government and the Vatican are
concerned, already are being realized.

Of Mine Explosion
Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 2—Death
due to an explosion, cause un
known. was the verdict rendered
by the jury at Boswell tonight in
the inquest into the death of 18
miners as the result of the explo
sion in Orenda mine on Tuesday
morning.

tors be discontinued in the gase

RUSS RETREAT;
GRODNO FORTS
ARE CAPTURED
Allies' Hope of Mu
scovite Stand Dissi
pated as Retirement
Continues.
HOLD ONLY AT RIGA
Petrograd, Sept. 2—An official
i communiciation made public to
night by the Russian war office
| announces the evacuation by the
Russian forces of the fortress of
j Grodno, and the retirement of the
troops to the right bank of the
Nieman river.
London, Sept. 2—Except in the
region of Riga, where the Rus
. sians are presenting a solid front
. to Field Marshal von Hindenburg
the Austro-German offensive is
again making headway, and, as
they have been doing for four
j months, the Russian troops have
I resumed their withdrawal move
ment.
The western forts of Grodno
were evacuated after two of thera
.were destroyed by the heavy guns
and stormed by the German in
fantry. and it is considered like
ly that the whole fortress has al
ready been left to its fate, for it
was no longer tenable after the
; Germans had crossed the Grodno-
Vilna railway, which they did at
two points, and haa 'penetrated
the Forest of Bieloviezn to the
southeast of the town. Vilna,
, doubtless, will be the next objec
tive of the Austro-Germans on
this front.
