GENERAL MILES is rs

Boston, Mass, Aug. 8.-GeneraI
Nelson A. Miles, who has been spend
ing the summer in this vicinity, at
tanned his seyentyfifth birthday an
niversary today and was the recipi-
ent Of a flood of congratulations from
friends and admirers in many parts
of the country. General Miles has
been taking a keen interest in the
European war situation. Probably no
man in America has a closer personal
knowledge Of European military af.
fairs. While holding the highest
rank in the United States army he
was privileged ON several occasions
to attend and witness the great annual
army maneuvers in Germany, France
and other Continental countries.
After his retirement from active SER
vice Gen. Miles paid several visits to
Europe to continue his investigations
OF military affairs, the results of
which were reported to the War De-
partment at Washington. A year ago
he made long stay in the Balkans
and closely studied the military oper-
ations in the late war there. He
entertains high opinion of the Ser
Wan military establishment and of
the fighting qualities of the Servian
soldiers, but sees little hope for their
success against the Austrians armies,
which are not only far superior in
number but better equipped and bet
ter trained.

On Parole From Lancaster
At Present Time
Stole Rigs Once Before And
Robbed A House

Edward Layland, aged IL years of
Fredericktown, is confined in the
juvenile detention ward at the Knox
county Jail and will no doubt be sent
to Lancaster reform school for steal
ing pony and buggy from DR.. w. H.
Eastman in Fredericktown on Friday
afternoon.
While the boy is only IL years of
age, he appears to have mania for
stealing. About two years ago he
stole a horse and buggy belonging TO
Charles Tabler Of near Frederick
town. He was apprehended shortly
afterwards and was sentenced to the
Lancaster reform school. About one
year ago he was granted parole, but
all the time he has been in more or
less trouble. Only a few weeks ago
he stole horse and buggy and drove
to Newark where he was taken in by
the police. The stolen property was
returned to the owner and the boy
was allowed to go upon condition that
he would behave in the proper man.
ner in the future. Only short time
ago the boy broke into house and
stole watch and other articles. He
was again allowed to go upon promise
that he would do better in the future.
On Friday afternoon young Lay
land stole pony, which was attach
ed to buggy, the property of DR.. w.
H. Eastman of Fredericktown. Far
mers in the surrounding territory
were notified and about o'clock Fri
day evening young Layland appeared
a. the home of Edward Leonard,
north of Fredericktown, with the
stolen rig. The authorities in Mt.
Vernon were notified and Sheriff
Woolison and Juvenile Officer Pat
rick Purcell drove to the scene. Lay
land was brought to Mt. Vernon and
was locked up in the Juvenile deten-
ticn ward at the county Jail.
Owing to the fact that Layland is
out on parole from the Lancaster re-
form school, he will not be given a
hearing, but will be returned at once
to the institution. He will probably
be taken to Lancaster on Monday.
