OHIO SOLDIER LADS
BROKE CAMP SUNDAY

The Third Regiment, o. N. g., oom-
prising over nine hundred men, which
went into camp at Mercelina Park, this
city, last Friday, following week OF
marching and shambattling between this
city and Sidney, broke camp Sunday
noon. A big crowd of people watched
their march to the c. II. & d.. where the
majority embarked on special train for
points nearest their homes. The remain
der returned up town and took traction
cars for their homes.
Saturday evening the people of the city
who went out to the park enjoyed con-
cert by the regimental band of Dayton
declared by those who heard it to be the
equal of many noted bands that have ap,
peared at the chautauquas here the past
few seasons.
Sunday morning the chaplain of the
regiment conducted divine services and
the people who chanced to be at the park
were struck with them throughout. The
band led i'll the production of the hymns
and furnished enchanting religious and
semi.religious music.
The behavior of the regiment was very
good, though a few of the boys of the
smart alec type found their way into the
saloons Friday and Saturday and made
asses of themselves to the chagrin of
their comrades.

VILLAGE
OFFICIALS
Vince When Faced With NeCeS-
sity of Banishing Levy
For Current Expenses and Told
Towns Bonded Debt Must
BE Taken Care OF.

Pandemonium reigned supreme among
village and school officials here last Sat-
urcay when deputy from the State Tax
Commission Office ran his eye over the
Celina levy and budget report and then
cut out entirely the levy made for cur
rent expense OF the village for next year,
Topped over 5000 off the school levy
and added both amounts to the sinking
fund. A loud roar went up from the To-
cal school board and Mayor Rice, but his
nibs from Columbus said that Celina
must take care of her bonded debt and
get out of the hole.
Tax Commissioner Morrow and Audi
tor Steinbrunner came to the assistance
of the local officials and finally arranged
matters so that only few hundred dol
lars should be cut from the school levy,
while the town was allowed enough to
pay Calamity James advertising bills and
buy one more can of white paint for
Mayor Rices markers.
The total levy was raised, in the
change, from 1873 mills to 154 mills, 10
mill being assessed as an emergency,
on account of the smallpox expense the
past year.
By the change the general levy, or the
levy for current expense was cut from
2 80 mills to 2 mills, and the school from
10 mills to mills. The sinking fund
levy is made mills, which will change
the amnunt of income of the fund from
S19, 900 to about S22, 900.
The rate as first fixed would have
given the town about S12, 900 for running
while the change will cut the
receipts to little over S., 600.
The new rate for the corporation, in
cluding the State and county, is as fol-

BORDEAUX NOW
FRENCH CAPITAL
Seat Of Government Transferred
From Paris.
REASONS GIVEN FOR CHANGE

Proclamation Issued Through the Min.
istry of the Interior Informs the
People Of France of the Step, Which
Was Taken to Safeguard the Ma
tIonal Interests-Essence Of the
Decree.
Paris, Sept. S.-The seat of French
government has been transferred
from Paris to Bordeaux.
The government issued through the
ministry of the interior a proclama-
tion bringing this to the knowledge
of the people Of Paris and giving
the reasons for the change. The sig
nificant feature of the proclamation
Is that Paris is soon to become a
sort Of pivot in the army maneuvers
between the allied armies and the
Germans. For this reason the gov
ernment naturally can not remain
here. The proclamation reads:
For several days our heroic troops
have been engaged in fierce combats
with the enemy. The courage of our
soldiers has won for them several
marked advantages, but in the north
the pressure Of the German forces
compelled us to retreat This situa-
tion forces the president of the re-
public and the government to this sad
decision: In order to safeguard the
national interests the duty of the
public powers is to go away from
Paris for the moment. Under the
command of its eminent chief, the
French army, full Of courage and
spirit, will defend against the invader
the capital and its patriotic popula-
ton. But the war must be pursued
at the same time on the rest Of
French territory.
"The sacred struggle for the honor
of the nation will continue without
peace or truce, without a stop or a
failure. None of our armies has been
broken. II some of them have suf-
fered only too evident losses, the
gaps in the ranks have been filled up
Immediately from the waiting reserve
forces, while the calling out of new
class Of recruits brings us tomorrow
new resources in men and energy.
Endure! Fight! Such should be
the motto of the allied armies Eng
lish, Belgians. Russians and French.
"The government leaves Paris only
after having assured the defense of
the city and the fortified strongholds
of Paris by all means in its power 1t
knows it does not need to recommend
calm resolve to the population for
the peple have shown every day that
they have full realization of their
great duty"

WHAT'S DOING
IN FREE MEXICO

The renovation time at least-oi
the blight of landlordism from Northern
Mexico has already shown beneficial re.
suits. Mr.. Herbert J Browne, of New
York City. trained economic expert,
has just completed an investigation OF
conditions there and reported to General
Carranza's Washington attorney, Mr..
Chas. A. Douglass.
Mr.. Browne finds that the war has
eliminated the landlord from Northern
Mexico and for the past year the poems
have been practically free from
paying rent to their former oppress-
i've landlords and are enjoying conse-
quent individual prosperity"
He further notes the result, saying:
II can see the spring, the new life
the energy with which these poems,
newly awakened to the possession of
land and to economical and political
freedom are meeting the situation,
are fighting with the same irresistible
impulse which swept the French
peasant over every army in Eu-
rope"
There is more economic instruction in
Mr. Brownies breif report than can be
obtained from a course at the average
university. He makes clear that all that
labor needs is to be freed from paying
Tribute to Privilege. That is what has
happened in Northern Mexico.
OF course the Mexican problem has
not been altogether solved. Landlord
ism will return and the Mexican laborer
will be again enslaved, unless the gov
ernment takes measures to prevent it.
Mexico must not repeat the mistake of
the French revolutionists who failed to
note that i'll allowing publicly created
land values to be privately appropriated,
the way to despoiling of laborers was
left open. The Mexican laborers willre-
main free, if land values will be taken to
pay all public expenses and taxes of all
abolished. And there seems hope that
this will be done, for Mr.. Brownereports'
81 heard Mr.. Carranza say that
the first important act of his admin
istration would be quick survey of
all Mexico as a preliminary to the
imposition of land tax such as Ma
dero proposed; that will force the
idle land into use. "
1t is devoutly to be wished that Mr..
Carranza will adhere to this determina-
ton Without measure of that kind
the land will slip out of the peon's pos
session, and once more be grabbed by
the big monopolists.
1t has taken bloody revolution to
make this change possible in Mex
leo. A similar change is possible
with us. through peaceful methods,
through intelligent use of the ballot.
Why delay putting it into effect?

REVIEW OF THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT

Since their first obstacle was met
At Liege. three weeks ago, the Ger.
mans have made half the distance
from that point to Paris and have
broken through the first line OF
French defenses. The second line TO
be rushed lies along the chain of first
class forts at Amiens, lie Fere, Laon
and Rheims. That second line is
about seventy-fve miles from Paris.
Paris itself is strongly fortified, so
that long Siege there will probably
be necessary to reduce it.
The week ending Aug. 20 was made
notable by the reduction by the Ger
mans Of the forts at Namur, Belgium,
the turning of the allies left and the
occupation of the towns Of Lille, Va
lenciennes, Cambria and other French
towns. The second German army, aft
er terrific conflicts, has occupied
Longwy, near the Luxembourg border.
German advance posts have appeared
at Amiens.
Germans destroyed the college city
Of Louvain, in Belgium, when civil
ians fired on German soldiers.
Russians continue the invasion of
East Prussia and Austria. Koenigs-
burg, Prussia, a strongly fortified
city, is reported in a state Of siege.
Lemberg, Austria, is undergoing bonn
bardment by the Russians.

1t is a seaport town at the mouth of

St. Quentin, near which German
troops we're reported Saturday, is the
nearest point to Paris attained by the
Germans so far. 1t indicates an ad-
vance Of twenty miles from Cambria,
