STATE UNIVERSITY
FORMS DISCUSSION
CLUBS IN COUNTY
Albert Stump of Indiana,
Confers With Teachers,
Explaining Methods Pick-
ell Head for Sixth District.

Considerable interest is being
aroused in Wayne county in the field
extension work that is being promul-
gated by Indiana university. This
work was carried on in this county to
some extent the past year but it is be-
ing planned to make the work this
year more extensive than ever.
The work last year was confined to
the discussion contests in the Rich
mond high school, but arrangements
have been made to organize the entire
county so that organizations can be
formed in every township to discuss
topics Of live interest to American citi-
zens. The plan that is being tnsti-
tuted in this state is modelled after the
plan that is in use in Wisconsin, un-
der the direction of Wisconsin univer-
sity.
In the preliminary institute that is
to be held under the direction of Coun-
ty superintendent Williams, Septem-
Der 4, the county will be organized by
townships for the purpose of starting
these clubs and societies. Particular
attention will be given to debating and
public discussion of questions pertain
ing to state and national politics. The
work is not to be connected with the
school only in the sense that it is to
be connected with the field extension
work Of Indiana university.
Appoints PickeII.
Prof. F. G. Pickell of the Richmond
high school, has been appointed by In
diana university as district chairman
of the high school discussion league
He will oversee the organization Of
societies in the school districts. He
will prepare a plan to be presented to
the teachers of the county Septem-
Der 4.
The plan is an attempt to revive the
old literary societies with the addi-
tional feature of linking them up with
Indiana university and allowing them
to have the advantage of that institu-
ton. Debates will be arranged in the
societies and as the plans progress,
debates and oratorical contests will be
arranged between the different socie-
ties Of the county, which will finally
eliminate in a county contest. 1t is
believed that this will create much in
terest in the county.
Lines Up Work.
Albert Stump who is connected with
the field work for the extension d.
vision of the state university, has
been in the city for the past two days
lining up the work here. He has at
tended the county institute at the
chautauqua and in his conferences
with the teachers there. he finds that
there is a great sentiment in favor of
the movement in this county. He said
that in addition to the contests and
joint meeting that will be held by the
different societies as soon, as they are
organized. experts on different sub
jects will frequently be sent to the
meetings by the extension department
of Indiana.
These county associations have been
organized in more than thirty counties
in the state and are now being organ
lied in practically all the remaining
counties.

RAIN CUTS RECEIPTS
AT WHITE CITY GATE
Financial Success of Chau-
tauqua Assured Despite
Bad Weather.

Had it not been for the unusual
amount of rain this week, the Rich
mond Chautauqua would have aver
aged up better financially than it did
last year. Up to and including Thurs
day evening, the receipts had been
$3.50. This was ahead of the cor
responding date last year. Owing to
the heavy rains of yesterday, the re-
ceipts fell back about $500 over the
last season. The program for tonight
and tomorrow is unusually strong, and
the management hopes to even up the
score before the Chautauqua closes.
Two hundred and forty-nine tents
are erected on the ground. These in
clude the assembly and other tents, be-
sides those used for family purposes.
This is the largest number Of camp
ers in the history Of the Chautauqua.
The organization this year has been
exceptionally we'll managed, and many
campers have expressed themselves
as believing it to be, as a whole the
best chautauqua thus far held.

RUSSIAN ADVANCE.
HAMMERS ONWARD
THROUGH PRUSSIA
~ FRANCIS lAVElLE MURRAY,
Staff Correspondent for international
News Service.


ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-Aus.
trian troops defending Lemberg are
fighting desperately to stop the Rus
sian attack on that city, the general
staff statement says today. but thus
far have been unable to halt the army
that is invading Galicia.
THE Austrians have taken offensive
in several districts, but the Russian
advance is being vigorously pressed
forward" it was stated officially.
Reports were current here today
that Koenigsberg. the important sea-
port of Eastern Prussia, had been cap
tured from the Germans, but the gen.
eral staff said that no confirmation
of the city's fall had been received.
though Russian troops had taken its
outskirts.
Details Of Invasion.
The Russians are now advancing
into Germany along a front two hun.
dred miles long, having spread out
fifty miles in the last three days. De-
tails of the invasion of East Prussia
were made public in the following
Official statement:
"On the eastern Prussia front dur
ing August 1928. the fighting continu-
ing at the points where the enemy
had concentrated their corps. These
had to fall back. together with fresh
forces that came to their assistance.
1.-The Germans sustained great
losses at Neidenburg. and are in full
retreat, in the Petrokoff district
Our cavalry cut up three squad
rons that were supported by a COM
pany of cyclists and took 127 cyclists
prisoners.
Big Battle Fought.
Separate engagements on August
% assumed the character of a big
battle extending through the eastern
districts. The general front stretches
about 200 miles. The first engage
ments were in the nature of advance
guard affairs, but thanks to the brav-
cry of the Russia troops. were were
completely successful"
That the Germans put up. stubborn
resistance to the Russian advance il
evidenced by the large number of
wounded men sent back to Moscow.
No official estimate Of the loss of
lives has been issued.

FRENCH ASSERT
TIRED SOLDIERS
CHECK WARFARE
War Office Admits Germans
Have Best of Fighting in
Northern France and Now
Threaten Paris.
~ HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON. Aug. 29.-The French
government in a statement and q man.
ifesto issued late last night in Paris,
and received here early today by tele-
graph said that the German attack
was tagging, owing to the evident
WEAKNESS of the soldiers, however the
manifesto said that battle is still be-
ing waged, but it continued, 1.-The bat
tie has not been yet fought to a de-
cisive conclusion"
English soldiers have had to stand
the brunt of fighting on the firing
line. They were opposed by seven
German corps, composing the flower
of Emperor Williams army. They are
picked troops. There is the Guard
infantry, and the Guard cavalry; the
Third or the Iron Corps of Branden-
burg which by general consent is held
to be the best corps of the German
army. There is the Tenth infantry,
which is a favorite of the Kaiser's, and
the Ninth and Eleventh and Fourth.
Danger From the Rear.
According to the Daily Express, the
German army in Belgium and north
ern France is in weakened position be-
cause of the lack of protection to its
rear. 1t points out that a heavy Eng
lish force could be landed in northern
Belgium, and sweep down against the
rear of the German right flank.
This may be included in the general
scheme of the war office, but it also
is certain that the allies are trying to
cut through the center Of the German
army and separate the central Sec
ton lying along the Franco-Belgian
frontier between the Sembre and Sc
mois rivers, from the northern wing.
That the allies are striking at the
German center, and hitting hard is
shown by the Times dispatch stating
that the Germans had fallen back upon
Chimay.
From all accounts, the Germans
still appear to have the best of it in
northern France. Their advance
guard Is in the vicinity of Arras, and
is reported to within less than 100
miles of Paris. In Belgium, however,
the Belgians are reported to be fore
ing the Germans back from their posi-
ton south of Antwerp. The Ostend
correspondent Of the Chronicle reports
that the Belgians have retaken Ma
lines or Mechlin. as it also is known.

BISHOP GIVES FEW
PERMITS TO WORK
Boys and Girls Attend School
Rather Than Labor in Fac
tories.

There will be fewer children work
ing in the factories of the city this
winter than ever before.
Truancy Officer George Bishop said
today fewer permits had been given
to children between the ages of IA and
16 to quit school and work in the fac
tories than in any former year. He
attributes this to the fact that many
Of the factories of the city which en-
plOy children are not running at full
capacity and consequently do not de-
sire the employment of greater num-
Der of people this winter. The glove
companies of the city employ more
children at this age than. all the other
companies combined.
Several children under IA years
have applied to the truant officer for
permits to work but have been prompt
ly refused the right to make a living
so early in life. According to law, ev-
cry child under IA years of age must
attend unless he is given a permit to
work.
