GERMANS TRYING TO FLANK
ALLIES ALONG SEACOAST IN
EXTENEED BATTLE FRONT
CONTINUED From First Page)
Anxious to Take Amiens.

According to observers in London, the Germans have been par
roads to the north and to the south But, according to q French
official announcements, the allies have checked their movement in this
direction. and have made a marked advance between Arras and
Albert y where the principal German effort centered.
Armies Chaotic as News.
The intermixing Of the armies along a front of 100 miles appears
nished BY the intelligence department Of the different headquarters.
The French armies are declared to be gaining at Berry-Au-Bac,
city, while at least one portion Of the German army under the Duke
Of Wurttemburg is stoutly holding its position between them on the
French Guarding verdun.
Again, farther to the east, the French occupy Apremont, n the
forest of the Argonne, well to the northwest Of Verdun, and Verdun
for 50 long been trying to reduce. To the east Of the position Of the
crown prince, the French are said to be pushing toward Metz It is
reported that to improve the crown prince, 5 chances Of reducing Yer

See Good Omen in Date.
With General Won Klucks troops making a determined effort to
cut through the left wing Of the allies in the triangle Of Dixmude,
Ypres and Dunkirk, and the Germans continuing their. fierce bonn
don today are hoping that the anniversary Of the battle Of Jena, In
which the French gained q victory over the Russians and saxons
10S years ago today, may be celebrated along the long battle front
by decisive events.
Result Much in Doubt.
Despite unconfrmed reports to the contrary, Germany seems

man forces succeed in driving back the allies OF not it is obvious
that the Germans intend to get possession Of and to hold vast

The Terrible Siege Guns
Judging from recent engagements, there is some warrant for the
belief that if the Germans manage to cut their way through the
allies and get before the gates Of Paris, their great siege guns would
quickly reduce the defenses about Paris to a state of ineffective re-
sistance.
Preparing for Long War
From private sources it is learned that England is preparing for
a long war. perhaps a three years, struggle, which, If true, indicates
that Great Britain does not expect to hurl the Germans back into
their own possessions in the near future, but that it is felt that Ger
many is able to stand off the allies for many months to come, if not
for two or three years.
Even after the Germans are driven back, if driven back they
eventually shall be, the war will not necessarily be over, for Germany
might be able to prevent an invasion Of its territory for a long time

GANGRENE MICROBE is FOUND
American Ambulance Service Sur
geons In France Make Discovery
of Greatest Importance.

Paris-A microbe causing gangrene
in bullet and shrapnel wounds has
been discovered by Drs. James Scar
lett and Georges Desjardins of the
American ambulance service.
Previously initial cultures all were
impure, leading to the belief of scien-
lists that the disease was caused not
by single germ, but by combination
of germs. After much research and
experimentation on horses and guinea
pigs, a single bacillus has been discoV-
cred and isolated and the serum is
being prepared by DR.. Henri Weisberg
of the Pasteur institute.
The discovery is expected in medical
circles to have worldwide Importance.
The serum is being injected into pa
tents on the battlefield in the early
stages of infection, obviating amputa-
tons and preventing great loss OF
life.

HER SON FIGHTS FOR BRITAIN
German Woman Encounters Lad by
Chance In Railway Station
In London.

London.-A well-known German
woman, who is married to an English
man, had curious experience in Lon
don. Her son, fifteen years old, is a
cadet in British naval school, and
1t was her intention to get her son
and take him to France to study
French.
She reached England in the first
days of the mobilization AS she got
out of her train at Victoria station
she saw procession of naval cadets
pass along the platform. She stopped
one of the youngsters.
Are you not from the - school?'
she asked him. Upon his replying
affirmatively, she asked what the
cadets were doing in London.
why, we are being modified"
was the reply.
Modified! You are not going to
the warships?' she demanded.
That's what they say"
Tell me, is Cadet X with your"
Il believe he is on the other side
of the station"
The mother rushed over there and
soon found her son. He and his fell
lows were about to board an outgoing
train, and she had only a few minutes
to be with him. Then he left for a
seaport, and was put on a warship
and commissioned midshipman.

GERMANY is ALWAYS READY
Chicago Man Relates an Incident Illus
tratina Germany's Prepared
ness for War.

Chicago.-Much has been said
about the preparedness of the Ger
mans for war. A Chicago man related
this incident:
More than two years ago a subor-
dinate German officer of the army
was showing an American some things
about the German way of being al
ways ready to mobolize. They came
upon an army wagon fully loaded.
Horseshoes were dangling from be-
meath the wagon.
Where are your horses?" asked
the American.
For this particular wagon" replied
the German, "one of the horses is at
John Smiths farm, the other at the
farm of John Jones. The shoes that
you see here have been fitted to those
two horses"

Mice Ate Peace Sermon.

In an address before the Mems club
according to a Columbus (Ind) dis
patch, Rev. Alexander Sharp of the
Presbyterian church there, who has
just returned from a two months va
cation abroad, told his audience that
the last sermon he delivered to his
congregation before he left was an
earnest plea for universal peace.
Before departing he placed the ser
mon in his desk; on his return he
opened his desk, intending to reread
the sermon, but he found that mice
had eaten his universal peace effort.

GERMAN OFFICERS FEW NOW
Rules for Promotion From Ranks Are
Modified to Make Up the
Shortage.

Bordeaux.-O dispatch from Geneva
to the Temps says that owing to the
enormous losses in officers the Ger
man military authorities are now per-
hitting the promotion of non-commis-
stoned officers and even private SOL
diers who distinguish themselves in
the face of the enemy to the rank Of
officer on the simple recommendation
of a colonel and without the previous
submission of the nomination, as here
tofore, for the appreciation Of other
officers of the regiment.
This is supposed to be a concession
of democratic nature and is certain
to be greatly disliked by the aristo-
cratic caste officers.

"oueer" Money in s13 A. D.

The fact that counterfeiting in coins
existed 1000 years ago was brought to
light when the University of Pennsyl-
vania museum announced that among
Egyptian relics recently purchased
were three counterfeiting outfits.
The molds are of brick. The plan
was to make impressions of each side
of coin in soft clay and then burn
the two sides An opening was left at
the top, in which molten metal was
poured. The rogues flourished in the

described herein. Owing to the strict Eu-
ropean censorship, however, the CORE
spondent was pot permitted to give the
name of the town about which he writes
SO graphically.
Berlin.-The little French town Is
lying asleep. 1t can do so in safety,
because the patrols are awake. But
on the other side of the mountain
there is no sleep. The place is hum
ming like beehive. But there Is per-
feet order. Every one Is at his place.
They are preparing for the march.
Patrols have returned with the re-
port that the plain is free from the
enemy. The little town is the place
they mean to march to. They think
the town is empty. The fact that the
French had come in had not been
made known. They came out of the
forest, through which they marched
during the night; and early in the
morning they marched in, hidden by
the vineyards.
Now the town is a small camp.
Every house a fortress. The superior
officers have taken up their quarters
In the city hall. All lights are out.
The mayor asks: 'Why?"
He Is told:
Because the Germans have air
ships"
The mayor makes the sign Of the
cross. He has heard Of the Zeppelin.
But we also have airships," the
mayor says.
The French captain mods:
zone of them will go up this night.
It will fly over the hills to visit them
over there"
At night the officers are entertained
by the town. All townfolks of distinc-
ton are present. The notary makes
a passionate speech about the brave
army. The colonel thanks him in the
name of hts comrades. He speaks
highly of the town and its hospitality.
Two hours later, only the men on
guard are still on their legs. But the
mayor did not go to bed: also, the
clergymen and notary are waiting.
What for? For the Republique.
This is the famous aeroplane Of
which the captain spoke.
Niqht Dark and Windy.
The sky is dark and overcast with
thick clouds. Only from time to time
he dim light of the moon steals
through these dense masses. But
quickly it grows dark again. The wind
whistles through the forest and
through the vineyards into the town,
banging shutters and doors.
Where is the Republique?
The townsfolk have been waiting
now for an hour, with their eyes fixed
on the dark sky-but nothing-noth-
ing.
Now they hear peculiar noise re-
sounding through the darkness from
above. They stretch their necks. But
their eyes are unable to penetrate the
darkness. They listen intently.
The humming and buzzing become
more distinct. 1t sounds as If gigan-
tic bird were rapidly moving forward
on his wings. Now they see some
thing-or do they only believe they
see officiating through the air like
a torpedo. The French mayor would
like to shout for Joy, "Vive la Re
publique!"
Now the buzzing has turned into
rafting and cracking. 1t seem. to
the mayor as II he saw small lights,
Aickering, extinguishing and faring

is used to harden it. Many state and
county roads and city streets in all
sections of the land are found to be
almost as smooth as bowling alleys.
They stretch out before the oncoming
motor car like ribbons. They invite
travel; they stimulate rapid motion;
they make possible long and delight
full journeys within minimum OF
time. But they are impervious to wa
ter. They prevent the seepage OF
moisture for which the trees along
the roadway are thirsting. They
threaten magnificent avenues of old
trees; they prevent the growth of
magnificent avenues of new trees. Al
most every considerable community in
the country finds itself confronted
with the question of maintaining fine
roadways at the expense of its fine
trees, or maintaining its trees at the
cost of the roadways. Of course, the
problem must be worked out without
going to either extreme.
At present the real difficulty les in
the prevalent disposition everywhere
to postpone action that will lead to
the solution. A few trees, it is felt,
can be spared. 1t will not matter,
s ome believe, if the weaklings are

thinned out. But intelligent observa-
tion establishes the fact that contin-
ued indifference or negligence in this
respect is bound to result in destroy
ing much of the attractiveness that
good road building was intended to
promote. Gaps in the tree avenues,
decaying tops and limbs, early dry
ing of the leaves, faded foliage along
the roadways in midsummer, are all
reminders of urgent duties to be per-
formed. 1t is reassuring to find that
the subject of providing means of wa
tering the roots of trees in road build
ing undertakings is now claiming
earnest attention.

Of communities that the paving and
the shade tree problems are not only
closely allied, but inextricably COM
plicated. The coming of motor We
hicles, as everybody knows, has stim-
ulated widespread and intense inter-
est in road construction and main
tenance. The advantage of provid.
ing highways of smooth surface is
recognized with equal clearness wheth-
er the matter be viewed from So
cial or commercial standpoint.
Travel and trade are both induced
by good pavement. So we'll is it un-
derstood that local advantage lies in
the direction of building and main
tanning good streets and good roads
that the investments for 1914 in high
ways over the states and counties and
municipalities of the North American
Union will aggregate hundreds of
millions of dollars.
So much for the roads. They are
now, for the most part, being con-
structed along the most approved
lines. Where the surface is not of
some basic material that is hard, oil
