The French Claim

Paris, August 23.-Q1 p. m.)-The follow
 ing official announcement was issued to- night:
 "A great battle is now in progress along vast line extending from None to the frontier of Luxemburg. Our troops in conjunction with the British have as- sumed everywhere the offensive. We are faced by almost the whole German army, both active and reserve.
 '''rhe ground, especially on our right, is thickly wooded and difficult. The bat tie is likely to iast several days "The enoI nous extent of the front and the great number of forces involved makes it impossible to follow step by step the movements of each of our armies. We must await the result of the first phase of the combat before we can form any conclus.on as to the situation.

BAREFOOT BOY MEETS PRESI-
 DENT-BASSETT ANNOUNCES FOR MAYOR OF NEW DECATUR. OTHER ITEMS FROM DECATUR

Decatur August 2s-tSpecial) While footed boy of the hills of north Ala bama won his way into the heart of President Woodrow Wilson. The boy was the little son of s. S. Broadus of Decatur. who is the president of the Tennessee Valley bank. operating chain of sixteen banks throughout the Ten nessee valley.
 Mir Broadus had been on a trip with his little son through the mountains of Tennessee and the boys feet had be- come sore from walking over the noun tains on pleasure trips From Tennessee MT Broadus took his son to Washing ton and when he got there the boy s feet were so sore that he had 10 pull off his shoes.
 In. Washington Mir. Broadus joined a party of gentlemen from Decatur who vent there to get an audience with the postmaster geenral and the President of the United States concerning new postoffice building for Decatur.
 It was through the appeal made to President Wilson on behalf of the bare footed boy that the President received the Decatur party, including the bare footed boy. The President laid his hand gently on the boys head and wished him well and told him he might be President of the United States some day. The little fellow is very glad that he had the honor of calling on the President of this great country

 awarded the prize of $2o000 which was of fered by Chile for the best set of plans for these great repair shops. The total investment will be about $5,000,00O anc much the greater part of the money will be expended for American commodities.
 Our largest imports in recent years to countries south of the United States have been those consigned to Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Because of the magnitude of public improvements and the extent to which railway construction is now under way in Argentina, we were able recently to sell to that country nearly 0.000.e00 of our commodities. But that is only about one-fifth of the aggregate imports into Ar gentina In a single year. Almost all of the rest represents imports from Germany to Great Britain. A majority of the arr ticles imported by Argentina from Gerz many are similar in kind to articles manu- factured in the United States. It seems to be inevitable that as soon as adequate banking facilities are provided and com merce bearers on the high seas can sail with safety. Argentina will make large demands upon American commodities. There is a heavy balance of trade in favor of Brazil on account of our trade rela- tions with that country. But this is to be attributed chiefly to the fact that the great amount of our coffee comes from Brazil. We were, up to the time of the sudden embargo, exporting to Brazil com modities of the yearly value of nearly s50,- 000,000. But that sum, large as it is. is only about one-sixth of the total value of Brazils importations. We should there fore be able greatly to increase our ex- ports to Brazil, especially in view of the fact that much the greater part of her imports have been from Germany.
 South America, for some years prob ably. will be unable to borrow any money in Europe. As some of her requirements are imperative, she will probably come to the United States for financial assistance, and it is now recognized as a modern law of commerce that trade follows the loans

 ''l have learned with the greatest con cern of the impression which Austria Hungay's action against servia has made ton which had been fostered in Servia for years has led to the detestable crime of which the Archduke Ferdinand was the victim. The spirit In which the Ser vians murdered their own King aud Queen Is still alive in that country. You will no doubt agree with me that We. too, you and l, well as all sovereigns, have common interest in insisting tha, all those who are morally responsible foi the horrible crime should receive the pun ishment they deserve.
