MONDAY

London,Sept. 21.-9:55 p. m.-
The unparalleled struggle on the
River Aisne, which commenced
about week ago Saturday, has
developed into siege operations.
The two armies, strongly en-.
trenched, are earring on an artil-
lery duel, while the infantry
makes attacks and counter at
tacks which are in the nature of
sorties from besieged fortress.
Occasionally one or the other
gains little ground but it is so
little that the opposing forces re-
main in their trenches or take up
positions in new entertainments
Immediately behind those from
which they are driven.
1t is now becoming tine con-
viCtion of military men that
nothing but outflanking move
ments can have any serious ef.
feet on either army. The Ger
ans,according to their own Of
flciar report have been strongly
reinforced both on their right,
where General Won Kluck is
making such stubborn stand in
almost impregnable positions on
the hills north of the AiSne, and

mans are making almost super

Young Men Hurt in Runaway

Monroe Enquirer
Messrs. Vann Cuthbertson and
Wander Griffin, the 1S-year-old
son of Mr.. H. G. Griffin, were
painfully injured in a runaway
accident near Lees mill, two
and a half miles east of Monroe,
last Saturday. Messrs. Cuthbert-
son and Griffin were on their
way from Monroe to their
homes in east Monroe township.
They were driving two mules to
a wagon and the mules ran away
starting at the top of the long
hill west of Richardson creek
and running about three hun
dred yards and against the rear
end of Mr.. A. G.. Funderburk's s
wagon. Mr.. Cuthbertson was
thrown from the wagon when
the mules started to run and was
dragged twenty-five or thirty
yards by the lines to which he
held until he could hold no long
er, making a desperate effort to
stop the mules and save Mr..
Griffin from his perilous posi-
ton. Mr.. Griffin was thrown
out of the bed of the wagon and
across the double-tree, the
wagon bed slipping forward and
pinning him to the double tree.
Mr.. Griffin's legs dragged on the
ground for three hundred yards,
and one of the mules legs struck
his body at every jump, badly
bruising him. II was a narrow
escape.

They Didn't Meet

A minister in a small western
town surprised his audience one
Sunday by reading the following
notice from the pulpit:
The regular session of the
Donkey Club will be held as
usual after the service. Mem
bers will line up just outside the
door, make remarks and star al
the ladies who pass, as is their
custom.
The club didn't meet that Sun
day.-EXchange.

Our Country.

The Lord be praised for such
a government as that under
which we live. Here, with all
our faults and failings the golden
rule is more nearly observed in
our national life than in any
other country ON which the sun
shines. We all remember that
worlG Fiat returned 10 China a
part of the indemnity in the Box
er uprising because it was
thought TO be excessive. We
played the big brother to Cuba,
intervened that she might have
justice, set her on her feet and
bade her 90 in peace. In Mex.
ico our government withstood
the jibes of other nations and re-
fused to fight in order to defend
a few bloated spectators who
happened to be American citi-
zens in that unhappy country
but who had ample time and op-
portunity to wind up their busi-
ness and come home. In short,
we are not out for conquest.
The spirit of our country is not
the spirit of greed. We repudi-
ate the savage doctrine that
might makes right. Here, as
nowhere else the doctrine of
Jesus has been incorporated in
the national life. We are strong
but we do not use that strength
to browbeat others. And in the
red tide of carnage that is now
flowing over every great nation
OF Europe, all eyes are turned to
lis as the arbiter and judge and
peacemaker. We must play a
large part in the struggle of the
old world but it will not be with
bayonet and sword. The atti-
tude the United States has
always assumed toward its sister
nations makes it tie towering
peak above them all, and the
most commanding in its moral
influence. What has done itl
We realize the immanence
ofehovah, and enthrone
him as the rightful ruler
of mankind. We depend not on
militarism but on the Lord OF
Hosts. And while individuals
among us have been Germani
zed, the nation as a whole has
not forgotten God, nor turned
from Him from whom all bless.
ings flow. Let us take courage
We are just coming into oul
own, and the simple faith of the
nation has exalted ii to the mos
wonderful place of power anC
influence ever exerteG by any
people n all tine tide of time.

An Unpaid Debt to GERMANY.

Wall Street Journal
A story of the war told with
great glee in the streets of Lon
don is being repeated by return
ing American tourists. Ger
many found lively market for
s-----:&-1 .----1anl
part of this year among the mil
liant Irish outside of Ulster who
were moved to arm themselves
as a result of the threats of arm
ed opposition to Home Rule in
the North. The German hope
was that not only would Eng
land have dire trouble with
their Irish citizens in any event
but that in a general European
war the pugnacious Irishman
would keep England's forces
fully occupied at home. There
fore what greater service to the
Fatherland than to arm these
Irish with German guns? Ac
cordingly 25O,OOO German rifles
were shipped into Southern Ire
land with large stores of am
munition. To the CONSERVATION
of the Germans the Irish forgot
their home troubles to bear their
part against Britain's common
enemy. And the Irish volun-
teers of North and South who
have sworn to guard their shores
against German aggression have
ample supplies of German guns
and cartridges to repel any pos
sible invader. And the irony of
it all is that the bill of the Ger
man manufactures has never
been paid and probably never
will.

Two Thirds of Worlds People
Under Peace Treaties.

Under Peace Treaties.
Treaties between the United
States and Great Britain, France,
Spain and China were signed a
few days ago by Secretary Bry-
an and the British, French, Span
ish and the Chinese AmbaSsa-
dors These pacts the Washing
ton government believes will
make armed conflict" between
the United States and these Ma
tions almost, if not entirely i'm
possible"
They provide that all disputes
which cannot be settled by di-
plomacy shall be submitted to a
permanent commission for in
vestigation for one year. The
four are similar in principle to
the % treaties signed with Cen
trail and South American and a
few European countries, l9 of
which have been ratified by the
Senate. Secretary Bryan dis
patched kilograms to the Ameri.
can Embassies and Legations in
Germany, Russia, Austria, and
Belgium notifying them of what
had occurred and expressing the
desire of the United States to
sign similar treaties with those
countries. Japan alone has not
accepted the principle or enter
ed into negotiations because of
the desire of the Ministry there
not to confuse the Japanese pub
lie while the alien land contro-
versy is being adjusted.
One of the practical effects of
the treaties signed recently is to
make more remote than ever the
possibility of the United States
being drawn into the present
European war over any delicate
questions of neutrality which
might arise with Great Britain or
France.
Members of the cabinet and
+ a d.;'i'e;stration- officials with css-
ed the signing ceremony in the
office of the Secretary of State.
Afterwards MIR. Bryan issued
the following statement:
"The signing of the four treat
les today with Great Britain,
France, Spain and China bring
under treaty obligations more
than 900,000,O00 people. These,
when added to the population OF
the United States and the popu-
lation of the % countries with
which similar treaties have here,
tofore been signed, bring under
the influence of these treaties
considerably more than two
thirds of the Inhabitants of the
globe. AS these treaties provide
for investigation of all matters
in dispute before any declara
ton of war or commencement OF
hostilities. 1t is believed they
will make armed conflict be.
