A HEAVY LOSS.

Walter McCray has resigned as
head of the independence band
to teach music at the PittSburg
manual training normal. The los
ing of Mr.. McCray is the only re-
grettable thing growing out of the
Southeast Kansas booster trip
last spring, says the independence
Reporter. McCray'S band went
with the party, and Professor
Brandenburg, president of the
PittSburg normal, was also along,
says the independence Star. The
head of the normal is always on
the lookout for the best, and it is
believed that he deliberately laid
plans on that trip to take McCray
from us, and has apparently sue
ceeded. PittSburg is shy a band
at present, but if Mr.. McCray stays
there long the deficiency will pro-
badly be supplied. He organized
the band in independence and has
been its leader for many years.
McCray secured his start along
musical lines while attending the
old Central Normal College here
as a member of EpperSon'S Mill
tary Band, and 'Epp" is willing to
make affidavit that at the start Nc
was the toughest proposition he
ever tried to instruct, but after the
ice was once broken he learned
rapidly and it was only a short
time until he was the star cornet
SoloiSt of the band and was one
of its big drawing cards. He has
since held responsible positions
as instructor in the LindSbOrg
and other schools where music
is especially featured and is
known as one of the very best
band men of the state.

MAKE WAR ON
RUSSIAN BARBARISM
German Officials Declare Subju-
gated People in Revolt Against
Czar-Blame England
For Conflict.

New York, Aug. 26.-The off
cial press bureau of the German
navy department today issued
through Captain Boyd, naval at,
tache of the German embassy, who
is now in New York, a statement
accusing England with
having made before the war
binding arrangement with
France, as we'll asRusSia, although
this her ministers had repeatedly
and vehemently denied"
Say Poles in Revolt.
In declaring that Germany is
fighting for civilization against
the barbariSm of Russia" the
statement says:
"The Prussian Poles greeted
our troops whenever they came
with open enthusiasm, and fur.
nished them voluntarily with th,
best they could afford. In Pol
and, in Finland, in the Caucacu.
and in the Ukraine revolution.
have started.
"All the Austrian peoples, es
pecially the Poles and the Slavi,
Czechs, declared in enthusiast,
demonstrations that they are re
solved to take vengeance for tn,
cruel murder of the archduke.
Accuse France of CrueIties.
I'm France and Belgium, Ger
man citizens were treated in tn,
meaneSt and almost incredibI,
manner. They were driven ou
of Paris and Antwerp, and il
many cases their money and rail
road tickets were taken ava,
from them. They were then lef
without the slightest protection
to the mercieS of the mob. AL
Germans without means have beel
transported to Southwestern
France, where they are forced t,
do work of the lowest kind.
I'm Belgium, exceSSeS agains
German citizens have taken plac
which should be expected onl,
from SavageS. Every store own
ed by a German has been wreck
ed. Practically all Germans wer
robbed of their belongings. Man
who tried to escape were Slaugh
tered and the clothes torn fror
their bodies. German wome
have been stripped, dragge
through the streets by the hail
when naked, and ShameleSSl
abused.
Consul Beaten by Mob.
"In France, and especially
Belgium, the inhabitants have a
tackled and killed small detacl

wounded from ambush. Tt
The German consul in MarseiIlt

hany's only hope of whipping
France is to send her army along
The Meuse river. That is what she
IS doing today. And apparently,
the whole of the French and Brit
ish armies is to be centered on the
Mcuse south of Namudr. Here
tile decisive battle of the war pro-
baby will take place.
London, Aug. 25.-(3:25 p. m.
"A dispatch from OStend to the
Evening News says there is fierce
fighting between the Belgians and
tie German cavalry in the out
skirts of the city. Wounded are
:. Being brought in.
Shot During Retreat.
Earl Kitchener, secretary of
state for war, yesterday prepared
the British public for the posi-
biIity of a prolonged war, which
would impose a considerable
3 strain upon the nation.
It is understood that four -fifthS
of the 1000 British casualties
were incurred during retreat OF
the British column. No list of
the casualties has been publish
ed and public suspense is very
great. Anxiety, however, is tenn
pered by the knowledge that the
British army has given good ac-
count of itself.
o The question of what has hap
pened at Namur has not yet been
clearly defined. The German re.
port alleges that the town and
five forts have fallen, but in Paris
it is denied that the forts have
been taken.
Turn Toward Left.
According to the British official
news bureau, there has been nc
further general engagement in the
great battle.
The French war office annOunc.
eS that the Germans have asSum
ed the offensive in the north
against the new position taken uT
by the allies. Another German
attack on MelineS has been re-
pulsed and German cavalry has
penetrated as far as the Tourco
ing-ROudaix district near Lille
This is regarded as indicating al
intention on the part of the Ger
= mans to attempt a wide turning
movement against the French left
Fought S6 Hours.
The French extreme right ha
fallen back into a position be
tween st. Die and Luneville
where it rests on the great forti
fled position of BelfOrt and Epi
nal.
Tie public still has to wait fo
any important details of the re
cent battle, but according to tn
story published in the Daily TeIe
graph, two British artillery corp
were opposed by two German
corps and cavalry division fo
S6 hours and the casualties repre-
Sented about three per cent G
those engaged and therefore wer
not heavier than might have bee
expected.
Berlin, Aug. 25.-(By wireles
to the Associated Press, by way {
l.. D-An official announcement
made public here today says til:
the city of Namur and five of il
forts have been completed by I'll
Germans.
The bOmbardment of the fo,
forts continues and their ia
seems eminent.
London, Aug. ga dispatc
to the Exchange Telegraph con
Pany from Paris says it is denie
at the French capital that the Re
gan city of Namur has been t
Rem by the Germans.

of the German forces in Belgium
is broadly as follows:
"The right flank, occupying the
entire Terrain Immediately south
of Antwerp, is moving southwest
in the direction of Lille.
"a second force is moving to
Maubeuge, fifty miles southeast
of Lille, in the department of Nord
and a third has captured the Ma
mur forts, which consist of nine
surrounding the city.
OverpOwering in its Immensity.
at is estimated that these three
columns together comprise nearly
a quarter OF a million men.
"The main northern German
army is advancing with its front
extending from Givet, France, tC
Diesdenhofen in Lorraine. The
French defenSeS from La Fere tC
Rheims are thought to be the OBJ
jective of this army, believed to
number 100000 men.
"The main body to the south is
directing its efforts upon the Yer.
dun Nancy line of defenses and
now occupies StraSSburg."
Russia Doesn't Exaggerate
Extent of Her Victories.
London, Aug. 24.-The Russian
embassy here has issued a warn
ing against exaggeration of tht
importance of the capture of Gum
binnen by Russian troops. l
says: ut is perfectly absurd t.
talk, as some dispatches do, abou
the Russians making forced mar
cheS toward Berlin. 1t must b,
remembered that the fortereSSe.
of Koenigsberg, PoSen and Thor
are barring the way, to say moth
ing of the AuStrianS.
Nevertheless, it is true tha
there is a general Russian ad
vance,"
Austria Complains Reverses
By Servia UnimpOrtant.
| Vienna, Aug. 24.-The follow
ing notice is published by the of
ficiah telegraph agency: "On ac
count of the Russian Intervention
in the Servian war, Austria i
forced to gather all of its force
for the principal struggle in tn
northeast. Consequently, the al
tack on Servia is heiceforth look
ed upon as a punitive expedition
and not as definite war.
"The decision, therefore, ha
been reached to retire from tn
Offensive and take up a waitin
attitude, making a fresh attac
when opportunity presents itsel
"The considerable losses sus
tained by Austria on the bank
of the Drina are not surprisin

numbers of the enemy and tn
fact that the latter are fightin

NOTES OF THE TRADE.

"In spite of all the pessimistic talk"
said Solomon Harris, of Harris Broth
ers & Barnett, manufacturers of ladies'
underwear, business can be secured II
it is vigorously sought after in the
proper places. Generallyespeaking, the
conditions for early busiress have been
fair. There has been a great deal Of
business placed, and we anticipate
when the holiday rush of the retailers
is over that orders will come in from
all over the country and from all
over the world for immediate ship
ments after the first of the year. The
long wished for cold weather is in
creasing the retail trade, and we be-
lieve that the Pacific States Will be
better than ever in anticipation OF in
creased tourist trade next year.
"The condition of the ladies' muslin
underwear business is hampered IN
great many instances, where certain
manufacturers have put out garments
at a price because Of the sizes.
1.-THE sizes of the various kinds of
ladies' underwear have not become
standardized, the same as mems under
wear, and a great many of the buyers
and merchants throughout the country
are unaware of this fact and have been
led to make their purchases IN many
instances TO price concessions. Inc
price concessions have been brought
about because of the skipping Of the
garments. and this has naturally acted
as a boomerang TO their business. The
woman that buys these garments from
the retail counter because of the price
takes them home for wear and hndS
the size too small in many cases. TINS
particular customer is displeased, and
Immediately starts in to make her own
underwear. The fact of the matter Is
that she can purchase the finished un-
derwear much cheaper than she can
personally make it.
"Now, if she and the merchant
tbev would be getting the proper
articles, and if they are not right
thew have the privilege of returning
them and getting the proper garments
as standard brands always make

Inquiries relating 70 trade matters and
conditions should be addressed 20 the Editor
OF the Buyers Column
Question: have been selling dresses
to the local retail tr-de for the last
five years, and recently | met with an
accident. Ny firm thought it would be
advisable $50 as not to lose any OF the
accounts) to send another salesman on
my route This they suggested to me
and | gave my consent. After being
confined to the house for over a month
/ decided that | could again take up my
duties. | called on several OF my &C
counts and learned that the hrm did
not send a salesman around TO see the
merchants, as they had promised, but
orders were received from the various
accounts, and now my firm tells me
that | am not entitled to any commits
sion. I am still working for the same
firm. and in order to decide this mat
ter the firm and myself have taken the
liberty TO write you, and your decision
will be final. Am | entitled to the COM
mission or not? With many thanks,
G.. D. J. Co., per Fred S. Answer:
Owing TO the fact that your firm Sc
cured orders without the aid of another
salesman you are entitled TO commits
sion on whatever goods were sold that
you had shown TO the accounts. These
cannot be called "house accounts as
il was decided by both parties TO en-
gage another salesman. therefore turn
Ing over your accounts to the tempo
rary salesman.

WHAT THE BUYERS
WILL LOOK AT TO-DAY

good If the fault lies with the manu-
facturer The accurate measurements
OF standard sizes should be adopted by
all merchants, and these they will only
find in branded goods"
salesman representing an out-of-
town skirt manufacturer engaged an
Office in an uptown building for the
purpose OF showing his spring sam
Piles 70 the visiting buyers that will be
here next month. Several other con-
Germs heard of this, and a wild scram-
BILE followed to secure Offices in this
same building. A local manufacturer
remarked that almost the entire town
will be represented in the building,
which is being called Salesmanville. IL
has been the custom for buyers to take
trips TO various manufacturing con-
Germs that are out of town on their
way home. The out-of-town manufact-
urers were of the opinion that they
were only getting what was left of the
orders, and decided TO invade the local
market. Many large cities will be
represented here the latter part of this
month. At any rate, local manufactur-
ing concerns are not worrying, as IL
will be necessary to show merchandise
as well as prices in order to get bust
ness, and the feeling is that the out
side concerns cannot show either.
A new hat for men that is being
shown for the hot weather season is
called the Palmetto. II is made OF
Palm Beach cloth, and will have a two
inch crown with an inch and half
brim. The swaziland will extend to
the height of the crown, so as to get
the desired high crown effect. The
brim will be curled and will have
contrasting color braid for edging. The
weight of the hat is three ounces.
Some pretty blouse creations for the
coming season include lowered cream
tafeta, with white satin collars and
cuffs and a black velvet bodice laced
at the front. The shoulders and bodice
are connected by straps of white chif
fon. Another waist model is of black
satin, cut in bolero effect, with flesh
colored crepe de chine. II has large jet
buttons, with black embroidery around
the neck and extending down the front
in scroll design. Another pretty blouse
is of blue crepe de chine, with a white
pique vest. On one of the lapels is an
embroidered red rose. Around the
waistline is black velvet cord, fast
ened at the front with two large pearl
buttons.
An order for 100000 dozen pairs of
woollen socks has been placed with
Wise & Whitlock, Inc, mill agents, by
representatives of the Allies. The
socks are to weigh two pounds to the
dozen, and delivery is to be made with
in three months.
