BOLD MOVE Of THE
GERMAN ARMIES
FRENCH ARMY OF THE VoSGEs
is NOW THREATENED BY
REAR ATTACK.

London, Sept S.-"The world S
Sreai puzzle today says rne Chroni-
cles Paris correspondent, lis the dis
appearance sOutheastward of the Ger
man host, which was supposed to be
ready to dash itself against Paris.
TO the close student it appears
that the incidental aim may be to
reach the southern and somewhat
less trongly fortified side OF Paris,
but | think, on the whole, it is larger
and bolder than this
The official communication of Fri
day reveals that there are three Ger
man armies moving southwark. Fri
days communication said The enc
my has reached La Ferte, passing
Rheims, and is passing along west of
the Argonne.'
ut is evident it cannot be the same
army which reached La Porte ,35
miles from Paris; which passed
Rheims 80 miles from Paris and
which passed the Argonne forest l25
miles from Paris.
"The chief necessities OF the Ger
man tacticians now are as follows;
First to get out of reach of the
Belgians; second, to keep as far as
possible from the eVer-increaslng
British contingent; third, to immobil-
ize the army Of Paris; fourth, to re-
duce the length Of the line of COM
munication and recover direct touch
with Germany; fifth, while accom-
plishing these ends, to smash the 9th
er French armies; sixth, when the
German armies are united, to be able
to march directly on either Berlin or
Paris, as circumstances may direct.
''The present movement to the
eastward is apparently with the OBJ
ject Of accomplishing these things.
This immense stlategical oyerturn
may involve the German abandon
ment Of Belgium and northern France
but 1t Immediately threatens the
French armies before Vosges with a
rear attack"

LARGEST GUNS EVER PUT IN
THE FIELD WITH A MOBILE
ARMY-ENoRMoUs TRACTION
ENGINES FOR MOTIVE POWER.

Washington, Sept. S.-The 12-inch
guns which will be used by the Ger
man army in attacking the fortifica-
tions of Paris are the most powerful
guns that have ever been put in the
field with a mobile army, says the
Army and Navy Journal today. One
throws projectile weighing 759
pounds, and its maximum effective
range is 10000 yards, or close to six
miles. At official field tests they have
been fired at the rate of two shots in
a minute and a half, and record as
high as two shots in a minute is said
to have been reached When the en-
tire force of heavy guns are in action
they will be able to throw against the
Notifications of Paris 10000 pounds
Of projectiles per minute.
1t is largely upon these powerful
war engines that the German army
will depend in its attempt to reduce
the heavy fortifications around Paris.
While most of the shots will probably
be directed against the wall of fortifi-
cations, many of the projectiles will
he thrown on the overhead defenses
and into the Notifications. The re-
duction of Namur in three days, it is
thought, was the work of these large
howitzers. Instead of horses, enor-

VETERANS PENSION MONEY.
Ordinary Dart Advises that Money
is Not Yet Available.

Ordinary E. w. Dart was advised
by Commissioner of Pensions J. w.
Lindsey that the money necessary to
pay the pensioners added to the list
during 1914 would not be available
before Dec. /.
Although the legislature passed
an appropriation of $4,000 to cover
the deficiency, this money will not
be available until 1914 taxes are paid
in TO the state, and much as it is to
be regretted the matter will have to
take its course.
A provision of the last bill also pro-
vided that hereafter the state will
pay the fee of 81 to the ordinary for
collecting the pension money, instead

KIPL|NG SAYS THE
GERMAN ONRUSH
MUST Be CHECKED
THERE is NO MIDDLE GROUND
FAIL AND THE LIGHTS OF
FREEDOM GO OUT OVER THE
WHOLE WORLD.

London, Sept. S.-"There is no mid
die way in this war; Rudyard Kin
ing declared at mass meeting at
Brighton tonight. ut is not conceiy-

the lights of freedom go out over the
whole world.
They may glimmer for a little in
the western hemisphere, but Ger
many dominating half the world by
sea and land will most certainly ey-

Through no fault nor wish of ours
we are at war with Germany, the
power which owes its existence to
three well thought-out wars; the
power which, for the last 20 years,
has devoted itself to organizing and
preparing for this war; the power
which is now fighting to conquer the
civilized world.
We must have men and men and

check the onrush of organized bar

dealing with strong and magnif-
Gently equipped enemy whose avowed
aim is our complete destruction.
If you assume for an instant that
that attack will be successful, Eng
land will not be-IedueedA4 as some
people say, to the rank of second
rate power, but we shall cease to
exist as nation. We shall become
an outlying province of Germany to
be administered with what severity
German safety and interest require. -

lows:
Whereas, great nations of the world
have taken up arms against one an
other and war now draws millions of
men into battle when the counsel of
statesmen have not been able to save
from the terrible sacrifice;
And, whereas, in this as in all
things, it is our privilege and duty to
seek counsel and succor of Almighty
God, hnmbling ourselves before Him,
confessing our weakness and our
lack of any wisdom equal to these
things;
And, whereas, it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of the
United States, in prayer and counsel
and all friendliness, to serve the
cause of peace;
Therefore, |, Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident of the United States Of Ameri-
ca, do designate Sunday, the 4th day
of October next day of prayer and
supplication and do request all God
fearing persons TO repair on that day
to their places of worship, there 30
unite their petitions to Almighty God,
that, everything t.Ie counsel of men,
setting straight the things they can
not govern or alter, taking pity on the
nations now in the throes of conflict,
in His mercy and goodness showing
a way where men can see none, He
vouchsafe His children healing peace
again and restore once more that con-
cord among men and nations without
which there can be neither happiness
nor true friendship nor any whole
some fruit of toll or thought in the
world; praying also to this end that
He forgive us our sins, our ignorance
of His holy will, our wilfulness and
many errors and lead us in the paths
of obedience to places of vision and
to thoughts and counsels that purge
and make us wise.
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington
this eighth day of September in the
year of our Lord one thousand, nine

dependence of the United States of
