Avoid a Battle.
Paris, Sept. 1.-(11:45 p. M
The following official statement
was issued by the war office to-
night: !.
SOn our left wing as a result OF
the turning movement OF the Ger
man army and in order not to ac-
cent battle under unfavOrable con-
.ditions, our troops retired toward
The south and southwest. In the
region of RetheI our forces have
+, arrested the enemy mOmentarlly.
I. In the center and on the right tho
situation remains unchanged"
IAN American committee or
sanized by the American ambaSsa-
dor and including the most con-
Dicuous members of the Ameri-
can colony asked the minister OF
war for proof that bombs were
dropped on Paris from a German
machine. The minister OF war
presented proof, which caused the
ambassador to cable his govern
ment a report on the war methods,
which are not only contrary to
humanity, but in violation OF the
convention of The Hague, signed
by Germany itself.
.''The committee has decided to
ask the United States government
while remaining neutral, to pro-
test energetically to the German
government.
"A squadron of armored aero
planes has been organized to give
chase to the German aeroplaneS
which have been flying over
Paris"
Paris, Sept. IA Germanmono'
plane dropped two more bombs
in the streets of Paris about 6::3C
o'clock this evening.
The operations of the German
aeroplaneS over Paris have beer
watched with equanimity by the
people. The first day the opera
tiOnS caused some nervousness
among the women, the second day
1t was already an old story anC
.. on the third day they provoked
for the most part, sarcastic re
marks for the inefficiency of thu
German craftsmanship.
A German mOnOplane dropped
abomb at the Rue Michodiere anC
the Rue Du Quatre Septembre
pear the Credit LyonnaiSe, thi'
afternoon. A gun mounted Cu th,
bank fired four shells at the aero
plane and two English infantry
men fired their rifles repeatedly
Another bomb was dropped neal
st. Lazare station. Neither boml
did any damage.
The report that the aeroplan,
which dropped bombs yeSterda!
afternoon had been brought dow
by the fire of machine guns il
the outskirts of Paris has not beer
confirmed, but it is certain tina
it was struck, as it distinctly wa
seen to careen before it disappear
ed from sight of those who wer
watching it from the city.
One bomb fell in Due De Han
Ovre, near Avenue De La L'Opera
without doing any damage. An
other that fell in Rue Du Mail di'
not explode. 1t broke through tn
roof of a house, but did onI,
minor damage. A bomb fell il
the court of a house in Rue Jou
bert and blew out the windows
but did no other harm.
Another bomb has been fount
in Rue De MoScou. 1t was loade,
with bullets. This evidently wa
aimed at the st. Lazare station.

Congressman Carter Is fighting
with his usual force the tendency
to postpone the sale of the surface
of the coal lands. McAlester and
Pittsburg county are interested more
in this sale than any other portion
of the state and the people there
are resisting with Congressman Car
ter the effort to have the sale ex-
tended. 1t is pointed out that the
sale if held this fall will result in
better prices being paid than If held
next spring. Farmers who need the
surface lands for farms, have more
money in the fall than in the spring,
the sale has been advertised for
some time and all those who desire
to make purchases have their
plans made to bid on the lands. The
sale will open many more acres to
the pillow and it is important to the
state that the sale be held at as
early a date as possible

BRITISH CRUISER WATCHING
SHIP AT NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 2S.-The fifth
day of the watch maintained on New
York harbor by the auxiliary British
cruiser, Caronia, formerly of the
Cunard line, found the cruiser still
at her post. She lay off Sandy
Hook, apparently just where she has
been for two days, almost directly
in the pathway of incoming and out
going ships and easily discernible
from shore. No other warships wire
in sight.
Not far from the Caronia, bu rrc.

United States, lay the North Ger

pleton, Staten Island, whittier she
went a week ago from her pier in

The Union Mission.

To the citizens and patrons OF the
Union Mission on North Caddo street
We come again with our report, and,
thanking you for your kind offerings
in the way of financial sustenance,
and of clothing We have received.
Someone has gotten the story ru-
mored that the workers of this mis-
sion are receiving recompense for
their efforts of labor in this work.
We wish to state right here that
this is not true. The work done
in this mission and for this mission,
as including all the workers, or any
part of them, is freely done with
willing heart and hands for the glory
of God and the betterment of those
who cannot help themselves. AS a
divine call of God on Bible lines,
as we see and believe them.
We have no salaried pastors, nor
paid evangelists, but we all truly
delight in doing what we can for the
purpose of strengthening those who
are weak, getting the children of
God established in grace, and turn
ing all we possibly can from dark
ness to light and from the power of
satan unto God
We are only trying, in our very
limited way, TO teach, preach, and
live the gospel as best we can, al
though the enemy may shoot his
awful lies and persecute and say all
manner of evil against us. But we
are glad we can rejoice in it be-
cause it is false and we mean to do
what good we can for Christs sake.
SO, may God pity them, for they
know not what they do.
Services in the regular way Thurs
day, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Sunday school at three o'clock ev
cry Sunday afternoon. All are vel
come. THE UNION MISSION.

COMPANIONS IN DEATH.

Richard Lalor Shiel so years ago
in an Outburst of eloquence in the
house of commons, discussing the
religious and racial hatreds of Eng
lish, Scotch and Irish, appealed for
fair treatment of the Irish people
He called upon Wellington himself to
say that If for a moment when the
'legions of the mightiest leader the
world ever saw rushed again and
again to the onset" at Waterloo if
for moment the aliens (Irish)
blanched and in a softer period this
same master orator spoke of the
blood of the Irish, English and
Scotch commingling on the field of
Waterloo.
They were companions in arms.
They were companions in death
Why could they not, asked Shiel, be
companions in all things?
We have before us the English il
lustrated papers, filled with pictures
of British officers and men who
died in the fighting on the retreat
to Paris. 1t is a mournful but in
spring gallery.
Lumsden and Richmond, mere
boys, officers in the Gordon High
landers, look out from the pages that
tell a story of death
Flanking them are the clean-cut
features of Wickham and Sherlock,
typical Englishmen. At the top are
Mellor and Crichton, one of the
Royal Irish Regiment and the other
of the Irish Guards.
The left is the picture of Fitzger-
aid, son of the duke of Leinster.
While there will be sorrow in the
Highlands that Richmond and Lums-
den are gone, there will be keening
in the cottages of West Ireland that
the banshee sang death song for
the young Fitzgerald.
This boy, were the old clan sys-
TEN still the order in Ireland would
be acclaimed as chief of the Fitz-
geralds, outranked only by the
O'Neill of Ulster and the O'Connor
of Connaught.
In the middle of the page there
gazes out the poetic Capt. Getacre
Getacre is a member of a family of
soldiers. His father was second in
command during the first big fight
which Kitchener made against the
Arabs of Sudan.
Col. Brett of the Suffolk regiment
won his ID. S. o. in South Africa.
He campaigned all over England's
empire and met his doom not far
away from a field where his great
grandfather fought for England a
century ago.
The English, Scotch, Irish and
Welsh of this generation 20 down
together in death for the honor and
glory of the country just as did

1t is a frightful toll that England
pays. The names of her dead ap-
peal to us because they are the
names of the men whom we meet
every day in the street, but if the
widows, mothers and sweethearts
stay at home in England, Ireland and
Scotland, "to think, to suffer and
remember" there are widows in
France, Belgium, Germany, Russia,
Austria and Servia whose hearts are
torn asunder because their best loved
ones are dying in order that the
