RETREAT OF FRENCH
MARKED BY HEROIC
DEEDS OF BRAVERY

LONDON, Aug. 31.-An Amiens dis
patch to the Daily Chronicle says:
1.-THE French retirement before the
German army advancing from Namur
down the valley of the Meuse was
mastery. The French artillery was
posted on the heights above the river,
and swept the advancing Germans with
storm of fire. On the right bank the
French infantry was supported by field
guns and mitrailleuses. The infantry
did deadly work.
"The Germans were reckless OF
their lives. The most disastrous fight
ing took place at the bridges, but the
: French engineers succeeded in blowing
| three bridges were destroyed.
"The fighting on both sides of the
| Mouse and many side-line engage
ments were fought by the cavalry.
There was a memorable encounter at
Marville, when 5000 French cavalry
men resisted 10000 German infantry.
The French dash was so splendid that
they beat back the enemy for twelve
hours.
1.-THE Germans gradually pressed
their way southwark along the Meuse
to Mezieres, near Sedan. The French
were determined that there should be
| no repetition of tn 1870 tragedy when
| the French army was trapped here, so
Charleville, across from Mezierez, was
! evacuated, and the French took up
magnificent positions, commanding the
towns and bridges.

Many trenches were dug which were
never occupied.
This hussar described the German
uniform as hard to pick out at long

"All through l have been told that
the fighting of the French and Eng

improvements which are being
made at the Light Heat and Power
company's electric plant which cost
approximately $4,000 will not be in
cluded as increased valuation of the
plant should the public service COM
mission of Indiana make an appraise-
ment to refix rates, according to the
general manager, Nimrod H. Johnson.
In answer to the belief of the city
officials that the company's plant will
be required to produce electricity as
efficiently and as cheaply as the mu-
nicipal plant, Mr. Johnson had little to
say. He stated that the object of the
improvements is to bring the plant to
this basis.
A new steel we'll, the only one of it's
kind in the city is being made ready
for use. This steel sectional tube
thirty feet long and twelve feet wide
was driven piece by piece into the
solid ground with a two and one-halt
ton steam driver. The dirt is being
taken out now. Many veins of cold
clean spring water were struck. The
bottom will be concerted at a distance
of eleven feet below the level of the
low river mark. A thirty inch gravity
pipe line will feed the we'll. This i'm

Mr.. Johnson said that this improve
ment and others will be included I'M

in the past. He expressed the belief
that the commission will approve the

MRS. FUNK DEFINES
MEANING OF HOME

While agreeing that woman's place
is in the home, Mrs. Antionnette Funk
in her address at chautauqua Saturday
afternoon, said the home today ex-
tends beyond the walls which shelter
the family-even to the national gov
eminent in whose hands rests the well
fare of the family.
And every woman who is not using
her influence to bring about the vote
which will give her the opportunity
TO better conditions, is not doing her
duty as wife, a mother or as a citi-
zen.
Your Indiana taking system is bad
as is the system in Illinois," she said.
There we found the poor seamstress
paying more taxes on her sewing ma
chine than the millionaire paid on his
$4,000 car.
To Overcome Indifference.
At the conclusion Of her address,
Mrs. Funk answered questions con-
corning the Indifferent woman, the full
franchise and the attitude of the con-
gressmen.
ASK the Indifferent woman not if
she wants to vote but if she wants
her child to have diphtheria or ty-
phold or If she wants to pay exorbi-
tain taxes she offered as a sugges-
ton to overcome Indifference
She warned the people at the pro-
posed constitutional convention not to
consider the old one sacred because
their forefathers had created it. That
she said was no reason for perpetual
ing their errors.

Wealth and honor for a minister
are rare. A Christian minister may
never be known outside of the com.

leader in the things which make for

At the bottom all excuses made for

ton. The work of the Lord 10 the

CHANNEL FIGHT IS
 ARTILLERY DUEL

London, Oct. 23.-The coast and channel fight so far as Bel gium is concerned has now re- solved itself into a terrific ar tillery duel in which it is claim ed that the Allies, by reason of their long range guns, have the advantage.
 The muddy roads and a net work of canals have hindered the invaders from getting their guns of equal or greater range into position. When they do. accomplish this, the situation will be even more acute.
