CARS ATTACKS
ON AUSTRIANS
REDOUBLED

London, Sept 2S.-The last 4S hours
have witnessed many scenes OF ex-
traordinary activity where the anita
gopists faced each other in the inca
ter Of Europe's war, but none OF these
encounters apparently has been de-
cisive
The official communication OF yes
terday stated that the attack on the
German right has made a distinct ad'
vance. and this version is supported
BY official Berlin advices, which say
the allies have made extensive ao-
vances against the German extreme
right.
The Belgians have retaliated against
tbs retreat of the Germans to bring
their great siege guns before Antwerp
by making desperate sorties.
From the east actions are reported
from almost every section of the Rus
sian frontier. Emperor William is re-
norted to be in east Prussia and the
German offensive, probably under his
ewes has recommended against Gen.
ersl Rennekampf. Petrograd believes
that this movement, because OF It's
limited front. is a diversion to re-
I:eve the threatened German line from
Kallsze to Cracow.
The Austrian forces are stlll retlr-
inc on Cracow and besides having Ia
ken some of the forts around Przemysl
the Russian cavalry is said to be pour
ing through the defiles of the Carpa'
thians onto the plains of Hungary
Supreme Clash is Near
The supreme clash of arms denot
ing the approaching close of the tre
mendous fortnight of practically un

flowing through northeastern France

hours without bringing a decisive re
suit.
Both sides claim encouraging thougi
slight gains. Field Marshal Sir Johl
French. commander of the British ex
peditionary forces, is spending hi
sixtv-second birthday in maintainini
what his latest communication TO tn
war office describes as "a satisfactor,

The Germans have steadily met az

HERE'S A TOWN THAT OWNS
ITS OWN RESORT.

Conneaut, Ohio, June 30.--The
little city of Conneaut with only
5000 inhabitants and lying forty
miles east of Cleveland on Lake
Erie has "outmunicipated" mu-
nicipal Cleveland. This quiet
little port claims the distinction
of being the only municipal sum-
mer resort in the country.
Every night hundreds Of men
and women leave the wharvcs
and glass factories to enjoy mu-
nicipal swim at the municipal
beach, to eat municipal meal or
to sleep in a municipal bed at
the municipal hotel. If they wish
they can dance at the municipal
dance hall or ride in the munici-
pal roller coaster, and Sunday
thew can see a baseball game
played by municipal teams. For
twelve years -Conneaut saw its
resort which had been purchased
at a cost of $4,000, mismanaged
and run down by private individ
uals to whom it had been leased
Last fall D. w. Brace was elected
mayor and S. w. Mahaffey di
rector Of public service on
Socialist ticket. Brace had beer
a railroad conductor and Ma
haffey day laborer. The frs
thing Brace and Mahaffey dit
was to clean up the park so tina
it might become a real place o
rest for the people of small means
That they succeeded was shown il

not caused by the democratic par

Colonel Roosevelt may strike
his old stride later. but unless
he shows more speed than he
showed in his Pittsburg effort he
can not hope to be factor in the
1916 presidential race. Perhaps
his poor showing is due to the
fact that he does not run as we'll
be hind as he does when he is in

son for the weakness Of his at

there are few vulnerable points

ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.

In his Pittsburg speech Colonel
Roosevelt is distinctly disap-
pointing. He lacks "the punch y
that characterized his earlier eff
forts. He is platitudinous and
obscure. His utterance abounds
in cheap cap-trap in place or the
forcible utterance that formerly
characterized his public speech
es. He assaults everybody OPP
posed to him without offering
adequate arguments. He quar-
rels like an old woman.
The Roosevelt complaint that
the chooses deliberately threw
the country into the hands of the
democrats by preventing his nom
nation at Chicago in 1912 is not
ONLY weak. but it defeats Itself,
It argues that the bosses held the
power in the republican party,
which was one Of the reasons
why the republican party was
doomed in 1912, and COMPLAINS
that the minority was not allowed
to rule. Himself a boss. Roose-
welt whines because the other
bosses outvoted him. His theory
is that because the sum of the
republican and progressive votes
was greater than the democratic
vote the country was antl-demo-
cratic in 1912 and that if he had
been the republican nominee he
. would have polled all the votes
that he and Taft polled, over
looking the fact that if he had
stepped aside Taft would have
polled the same vote that he
, would have polled if Taft had
stepped aside.
In his attack on the administra-
tons antitrust program. Mr..
Roosevelt confines himself to the
broad declaration that it pre-
vents the passing around of pros
perity. His "intelligible plan
is that the nation should deal
with both the tariff and the trusts
"by continuing executive actor
through administrative commits
sions of ample power" which Is
, the broadcast kind of generality
meaning almost anything any
body might want it to mean. 1t
certainly means nothing different
from what all the antitrust and
tariff planks of all the parties
have always meant, SO far as 1t
means anything. ~'!fa%s''
Zone commission" continues
Mr.. Roosevelt, "should shape our
tariff Sc as, with thorough knowl-
edge disinterestedly acquired, to
give proper encouragement to our
merchants, while also giving
proper protection to our wage
workers, our farmers and our
business man. The other COM
mission should exercise strict
supervision and control over big
business. We should treat it with
entire justice, drawing the line
not on size, but ON misconduct.
All of which is entirely true, SO
far as it says anything at all,
but it is platitudinous in the ex-
IRENE. 1t broadly genralizes
what everybody has always said
about the tariff and the trusts
without suggesting in the re.
hottest way what is meant by
misconduct nor how to punish
it; what is meant by encourage

the city schools can be run on less than

1t now looks a though unless the city,
county, and school board can get to-
gether In concentrated action for re-
trenchment according to the suggestion
OF Roy Bone, the taxes win be as high
or higher than ever.
While the school board has not off,
c1ally discussed the tax levy question.

not see where cut can be made with
out working q hardship on the schools.
In the general fund the maximum
levy allowed by law-five mills-was
made last year. Due to the fixed salary
schedule which raises the pay Of each
teacher up to a given point the payroll
will be heavier than last year. Then
the natural growth Of the schools must
be considered.

The school board went the limit in

completed will cost nearly $50, 900, the

seQuently last year q sinking fund was

which was supposed to bring in $685.

amounting to $4,000 and bearing 9

This the board expects to pay off, not
wishing to refund the same at An Der
