It regarded probable that he is retreang north wards in the hope of joining the general line O the Ger man armies and of getting away from his dangerous sit uatiOn.
 The position of the princes army forms the pivot of the position which the allies forced the Germans to occupy This change of position has been the chief re- suit of the success of the allies They have compelled the enemy to fall back on the right wing that the German line instead of facing directly south in line east ot Paris is now extending in southeast and northwest direction In other words the German line has been waved back as an might be waved The crown princes position may be compared to the shoulder which has hitherto held its position and formed stationary pivot while the rest of the line or arm was waved backwards What makes the princes position precarOuS is that the French forts east of ArdenneS makes retreat impossible III that drec tOn and for that the prince will probably have to retreat to the north if he is not doing already in the hope of joining the other German forces on the Mezers St. Quentin and PerOnne line The French are already pursuing the Germans north of Rheims that the june ture of the German armies can hardly more than that they will all be compelled to fall back together.

COMMANDER GRAND ARMY
 FOR STAR SPANGLED BANNER

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 14.-A plea for the perpetuation of "The Star Spangled Banner" as the American anthem, without alloy, was made fer vently by Washington Gardner, com mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his address before the 18th national encampment of that organization here today.
 He urged the old soldiers to join in a movement to pay special honor to this song, and to discountenance the practice of playing it in melody with such "flippant and comparatively meaningless ditties" as "Yankee Doodle" and "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home. He said there was something inspiring in an audience rising and standing uncovered at the majestic strains of the national an them, but it was "incongruous, bor- dering even on the ludicrous" for the band to strike up some other national air in medley with this, and to ob- serve the audience resume sitting in "an irregula, half-ashamed manner. It were better not to rise at all when the national hymn is played in med ley, he said.

CROWDS PLEASED
 AT THE AGE-HERALD
Cheered Enthusiastically as Bulletins Told of Tender
 son Majorities

As usual the election returns flashed by The Age-Herald first apprised the hundreds who gathered of the defeat of B. B. Conner for governor and evoked enthusiastic cheers.
 It was a Henderson crowd, almost unanimously. Every fresh bulletin tell ing of Henderson majority was greeted with noisy approval. When a box went for Conner there were usually plenty to cry take it away"
 The spectators were good natured. if noisy. One man paraded up and down in front of The Age-Herald followed by solemn looking goat bearing the label, "Comers." This appeared to appeal to the crowd very much and there were calls for the goat when Henderson scored.
 The crowd showed lack of interest in the other races. The attention of all present was centered on the race be- tween Conner and Henderson and throughout 1t was apaprent that their sympathies were wholly with the latter.
