field Of Liege.

New York, Sept. 2.-The battlefield
an American girl was vividly de-
scrbed by Miss Anna Laing, a gradu'
ate nurse OF the Bridgeport (Conn)
hospital. a passenger ON the steamer
Ryndam from Rotterdam.
II was in Licge when the war first
started" said Miss Laing. Several
Be'gian officers, who were friends OF
mine, took me to a house where ! was
practically out of the range OF the
shells that were being hurled at the
city by the Germans. During the
evening the Germans withdrew for
some reason, and during the lull in the
fighting two of the Belgian officers ill.,
vited me to go out over the field where
the heaviest fighting had taken place.
"The ground was literally soaked
with blood and the bodies OF horses
ard men lay everywhere. There was
many a Mace where blood had flowed
down the sides of little hills and earth
works: its course was plainly uA rked'
Some bushes were spattered with red
as high up as eight feet.
II saw trenches filled to the top
with dead German soldiers. These
trenches, the Belgian officers eN'
planned to me. had been dug by the
Belgans and occupied by them until
the great army Of advancing Germans
forced them to retreat. As the Ger
man infantry mounted the breast
works in front of the trenches the re-
treating soldiers poured murderous
fire into the ranks and their bodies
fell in the trenches. Then. the Bel
gian officers said, their men moved
down more Germans with deadly
cross-fire, which not only filled up the
trenches with bodies. but left many
piled on top of one another on the
breastworks and the ground nearby.

must have been great casualties. No
mention of this was made.

Paris, Sept. 2.-The following Off
cial statement was issued by the war
Office:
"On our left wing as result OF the
turning movement Of the German
army and in order not to accept battle
under unlavorable conditions, our
troops retired toward the south and
southwest. In the region OF Rethe!
our forces have arrested the enemy
momentarily. In the center and on
the right the situation remains un'
changed"
The position of the allied armies,
according to the opinion Of French
military experts. is good. The Ger
MANS it is pointed out. are attempt
ing movement which, If it fails. will
leave them in n dangerous situation,
with their troops exhausted.
The British armv, fresh and restcl,
the experts say, is about to engage
the extreme German right and to sup
port the French, who have been retir-
ing slowly for several days.
The Germans are fortifying the en-
yirons of Brussels and they have trans
formed the cemetery into a redoubt.
Russ Victory Brilliant.
A Rome dispatil to the Temps says
the Russian victory over the Austrians
on the Galician side was brilliant. the
right wing OF the Austrian army hav-
ing been decisively turned and cut to
pieces, leaving 10000 prisoners in the
hands of the victors.
On the Vistula front when the Rus
slams encountered the Austrian !elt
wing the result was somewhat uncer'
tain, but the arrival of important rein,
rorcements enabled the Russians to
take a vigorous offensive and repulse
the enemy. They captured large
number of pieces Of artillery.

Rarnhardt's Case.

A few days ago George 1. Neale.
Democratic nominee in the Fifth con-
gressional district, openly denounced
United States District Attorney Barn
hardt as a drunkard and a libertine
and he declared that Barnhardt was
a disgrace to the people of Hunting
ton, where he lives. The Neale dec
larations arose from Barnhardt's ac-
tivity against the nomination. Of
Neale and in favor of Senator French.
There are two conclusions to be
drawn from this. One Is that moot
ed Democratic harmony in this state
does not exist. TIE other is that the
high moral sensibilities of the Wilson
administration can not pass the
Neale charges against Barnhardt by
and maintain self-respect There is
still another feature, namely, that OF
pernicious political activity on the
part of federal ofIiceholder. The
Wilson administration has affected to
condemn that sort of thing, but 1t
remains to be seen whether the fact
that one who thus engages himself is
a Democrat is to excuse him. Ac-
ton must be taken in this case, II the
administration is sincere in its pro-
testations against pernioious political
activity on the part OF officeholders.
Action must also be taken on the
ground OF such grave immortality be-
ing charged.

Some Illustrations,

The Exponent like the president
advises the public just to think that
business is good and it will be good.
That reminds the Telegram OF an in
cident that took place here once.
A farmer was invited into a store
and asked to buy an article. The
farmer stated that he could not buy
it as he did not have the money.
The merchant told him Just to be-
lieve he was able to make the pur-
chase and he could make it. The
farmer consented to take the article
and after 1t had been wrapped and
handed to him, he remarked, Just
believe you have been paid for this
and you have been" And then he
walked out of the store with the ar
tiole and the merchant was out both
article and money.
Or here is another illustration the
Exponent ought not to be too obtuse
to get. 1t is furnished by the Con-
nellsville, Pa, Courier and is as fol-
lows:
II President Wilson says business
conditions are purely psychological;
ia other words, that they reflect a
mere state of mind; and that II
business men would make up their
minds that business was good It
would be good.
The situation is aptly illustrated
in the story OF the thrilling play, en-
titled, Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak
Model"
In the first act the villain tied
Nellie to the track in front Of fast
express.
In the second act he threw her
down an elevator shaft. z
I'm the third act he pushed her on
the Brooklyn bridge.
In the fourth act Nellie shrank
from bin, trembling, and he eagerly

NOW

Today airships constitute one
OF the most important factors in
modern warfare. All the great
world powers have equipped
their armies with fleets Of aero
planes and diriglble balloons,
and scientists are bending every
energy toward inyenting new ex-
plosiyes and perfecting means OF
hurting them from the clouds
with greater accuracy, Some au-
thorities even predict that the
next great war will be fought In
the clouds by squadrons Of air
ships. Today American aviators
are scouting over the Mexican
lines around Vera Cruz, and are
demonstrating their marvellous
utility. Equipped with the latest
devices the ultra-modern army
scout can fiy over the enemy's
country, sketch or photograph
the topography Of the land be-
low, the forts. cities and troop
positions. BY wireless telegraph
he can send back the informa-
ton 10 his headquarters miles
away. With the modern rapid
fire gun he can defend himself
with a stream OF bullets. Or he
can drop high explosive bombs
from his craft, scattering death
wherever 1t strikes-a year ago,
1t was reported a Mexican rebel
eronaut dropped a bomb that
killed SO soldiers instantly. If
1t is night. the aeronaut can drop
a star bomb that explodes and
shades a lasting and radiant
light on the spot he is lowering
over. To escape from the new
aerial guns designed to tight air
ships, the modern aeronaut can
drop the new German bomb that
spreads a dense, heavy pail of
smoke between earth and airship
and thus permit the aviator to
escape. Or he can drop another
kind which gives of a poisonous
gas capable Of killing everything
living within 100 yards.

Doubtless the reason the Demo-
cratic press is SO arduously trying to
point out the similarity of the DEM
ocratic platform to that of the Pro-
gressiye is tina fear that many Demo-
Gratis will de ,ert their own party on
account of tie machine manipulation
ana hog combine interests and vote

fession that the Democratic bosses
hope to hoodwink the rank and file
with platforms? Why not loosen
