ceeded to the business he became man
ager of the store. In all his dealings
with the public he has been courteous
and obliging, making friends with
those whom he came i'll business as
well as social contact, and it was
largely through this instrumentality,
coupled with his fitness for the Of
flee he seeks, that the nomination was
given him at the primaries last Fri
day While always taking a lively
interest in matters political. Mr..
Holman has never before sought a
public Office within the gift of the
people. AS a republican he has sup
ported that ticket in every election
since he gained the right of franchise
by age, and believes that the Grand
Old party and the principles for which
it stands are good enough for him
first, last and all the time.
In his campaign for the nomination
Mr.. Holman made no pledges and if
elected will assume the duties of the
Office unincumbered by political OBJ
legations. His slogan in public life,
as in his past private career, will be
a full days work for a full days
pay. He is well qualified to perform
the various duties devolving upon
him as treasurer Of Polk county, and
The Observer predicts his election by
a majority that will reflect the conf
dence imposed on him by the people.
The affairs of the office under his bus
iness-like management will, according
to his own statement, be economically
and efficiently conducted.

 Few of the surgeons or nurses suf- fered from seasickness on the way over. and all were in excellent spirits today. They greeted Admiral Ward heartily as his launch drew alongside the Red Cross.
 The sun was shining brightly as the Red Cross steamed in between the two castles at the entrance to Falmouth harbor. Thousands of British recruits being trained on the hills around the harbor waved a welcome, and scores or launches and sailing craft made their way out to greet her as she steamed through the prizes of war anchored in the sheltered waters.
 American nurses wearing gray uni forms with white caps having red crosses on them and surgeons in khaki lined the decks of the steamer and answered the salute of their English hosts. Immediately after conferring with Captain Rust and Major Patter- son, Admiral Ward advised the sur geons and nurses that they would be granted leave to accept hospitality on shore. Launches then carried the Red Cross force to the docks of historic Falmouth. The Red Cross will re- main here several days, pending the completion of plans for the sending of the various units into the field.

PRESIDENT PROVOKED OVER
 DIFFERENCES OF DIPLOMATS
To Conduct Investigation Through the
 State Department.

Washington. Sept. 24-President Wilson manifested to callers today his d1spleasure over the recent utterances or some of the diplomats accredited to the United States from the belli- gerent governments. He mentioned no names and told inquiring newspaper men that he would make no comment, preferring that the discussion be con- ducted through the regular channels Of the state department.
 Three published interviews in par ucular have given the American gov ernment offense:
 One by the Turkish ambassador, A. Rustem Bey; another by Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister to Mex lco, and a third attributed to Baron Non Schoen, former secretary of the German embassy at Tokio, but for maIly repudiated by him.
 Whether other interviews have been taken up officially has not been di- Vulged. The Turkish ambassador was given an opportunity to withdraw his remarks. but he informed the presi- dent that he did not care to change his views and would leave the United states soon of his own initiative on leave of absence. His interview com pared lynchings in the United States and water cures" in the Philippines to acts which the Turkish people had committed in religious uprisings
 An explanation of the remarks of Sir Lionel Garden, who criticised Pres ident Wilson's Mexican policy, is ex- pected to be forwarded by the British foreign office as soon as the minister who is enroute to England, reached there.
 Baron Won Schoen called on Acting Secretary Lansing of the state de- partment and personally repudiated an interview in which he was reported as saving that the Japanese hated the American people and that war between the two countries was inevitable. The explanation of the German secretary was accepted by MT. Lansing, who said afterward that Baron Won Schoer mentioned it voluntarily today while discussing other matters.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE WAS
 EXTREMELY VIGOROUS
At Westerly End of Line Along the Rivers Disc, Aisne and Woevre.

At the Battle Front, Sept. A, (vial Paris, 5.16 D. m.)-The German of fensive was extremely vigorous today at the western end of the long line stretching along the rivers Disc, Aisne and Woevre.
 Allied Troops Reinforced.
 The allied troops whose gaps had been filled with freshly arrived rein forcements, not only repeatedly thrust back the masses of Germans thrown against them, but eventually carried out a successful counter attack which resulted in the gaining of considerable ground and the definite capture of Peronne. about which town the fiercest engagement occurred.
 Victims of German Machine Guns.
 At one place the victims of the deadly German machine guns were counted in hundreds, especially where the advance was across an open wheat field that recently had been harvested.
 Some men of a French regiment, which was making a dash toward the German position when it was struck by the sweeping fire were found dead in the kneeling posture they had taken behind the sheaves of wheat and from where they had emptied their maga- zines, intending to start a final rush and bayOnet charge.
 900 Buried in Single Trench.
 After the fight 300 dead, were buried in a single trench six feet deep, the Germans being placed at one end and the French at the other.
 Further toward the east, near Ber- ry-Au-B -Bac, on the Aisne north of Rheims, there appears to be concern trated a large German force which has stolidly occupied strong entrenchments from which it is most difficult to dis lodge them. Hereabouts the fighting has been of a desultory character with, however. slight advance in favor of the allies.
 The men of both armies in this vii cinity seem to be enjoying their rest. Invaders Active Near Verdun. On the eastern wing the Germans are throwing great energy and enor- | nous masses of men against the
