BRITISH AND FRENCH ARE
 SIDE BY SIDE IN BATTLE

BERLIN. Aug. PA crushing defeat has been in- ncted on the French army all along the line and the great
 est disaster of all the has been visited on the deend CTS of French territory by the Germans according to an official announcement issued by the German government today.
 The German army commanded by the Grand Duke Abrecht of Nutemburg has defeated the French army ln a tremendous battle at Neuchatel ana captured "ai! guns flags and prisoners Among the prisoners are many noted French generals The German armies under ten eral Rupprecht. the Grown Prince Wilhelm ana Grand Duke AbrCcht are TOW pursuing the fleeing French army and driving ii across French territory with aW1ul SlauSh ter The army under RuppreCht captured one hundred and fifty French guns at LuneIlle, BanOnt ana CTe! The army commanded by the crown prince pursued the French beyond Ongwy and the Germans are now west Ol the river Mouse in French territory and are advancing on Eaubeuz or Maubege which is defended by brigade Ot British cavalry. The fighting at Maubege looked lOr ward to with deep interest here for the rSt tune Ill ce
 tureS the Germans and the British VIII meet m Clear cut fight
 The disaster to the allies is tremendous as they have been defeated for the whole distance from the NOSgeS mountains to Belgium and the Germans are victorious all along the line NeufChatei is about 70 miles inward m French territory from Lorraine and the NOSgeS mountain so that the Germans instead of being pressed back into ASace are in reality cOnquerng the French m their own country LuneVille. where RuppreCht captured the French guns in French territory but not lar from the AlSace Lorraine border The extent and importance Ol the disaster can be uaged by the fact that the French are
 fleeing along the line for distance of more than two hun dred miles From NeuChaeau to LOngWy is about ninety miles and all along that distance the three German armies are officially reported to be pursuing the allied tOrCeS From LOngy to Maubege is about two hundred and fifty miles in line drawn straight south of the Belgian border so that if the official information IS correct the Germans are victorious now along whole front of than three hundred miles extending all around the north and north east borders of France They have crossed the Mouse

AUSTRIAN BATTLE FLEET STEAMS SOUTH

RONIE Aug N-That the entire Austrian fleet in the Adriatc has left the shores of Austria and IS steam ing south the brought to the Italian coast today by fishermen The fleet consists of forty warshps ef al classes These include predreadnaughts and probably one or two dreadnaughs that have just been nlshed cruisers torpedo boats, desroyers etc. ard all are sad to be maintained in high state of efficiency
 It is assumed that the destination of this formidable
 fighting force is the coast of Dalmatia and principally CatarO which has been attacked by French ships from sea and by the MOnenegrns from land great battle between the French Mediterranean squadron and the Austrian ships most likely event of the very near future It is supposed in quarters that the Aus trianS bound for distant field and may at tack the French possessions the African Medteran- can coast or may proceed to the DardaneeS and after curing permission from the Turkish government, may pass through into the Black and attack Russia in the south The fleet sailed out after the other from POla the Austrian naval base on the south coast and has un dOubedy been well prepared while in POla for any con Act that the allies can force in southern waters.
 Austria had four dreadnaughts building which were to be ready at the end of this year but is regarded
 likely that they have hasened construction work those vessels and that they may be part of the fleet which has taken to the ocean, If such is the the fighting of this war fleet will be formidable

 TROUBLE IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-PreSi- dent Wilson made a statement today that people who would profit by trou- blc in Mexico are now attempting to stir up trouble between Villa and Car ranza. He declares however, that there is no danger of a rupture and that the present president of Mexico and the men who won his victories for him are inclined to let their personal disagrcements pass away without bringing more turmoil on the repub- lie.
 President Wilson did not mention any names of people who he believed were anxious for more trouble but it is assumed that he meant some veal thy Americans and American cOrpor- ationS as well as MeXicanS.
 The news from Mexico City since the entry of the new president is very meagcr. No one knows what has been done about the followers of Huelta and it is assumed here that the United States government has re- ceived assurances from Carranza that the Huerta people will not be injured.

ALL TALKING ABOUT
 SEWARD OUTSIDE

All the people outside have come to the conclusion tkat Seward is the only place worth talking about as a ter mina for the government railroad and T. w. Hawkins, who arrived last night on the Evans, says that crowds of people are waiting for definite news as to the intentions of the gov ernment before coming here.
 Times are frightfully bad even on the coast Mir. Hawkins says. No one would invest thirty cents in anything owing to the uncertainty caused by the great European war. On the day before he left, Mir. Hawkins says, the banks were declaring that the worst of the time had passed and that con fidence would be fully restored soon.

WHY BUNNELL WAS
 REALLY SELECTED
Nome and FairbaHks People Were Unable to Agree About
 Candidate

The information came on the Evans last night that the real reason for the nomination of Charles Bumell as the democratic candidate for congress is that the Fairbanks people and the Nome people had views of their own and were unable to agree on any of the other candidates put forward. The papers have been remarkably silent concerning the change in the plans which resulted in the nomination of Mir. Bunnell. It is said that the dis agreements caused all the delegates to decide on Bunnell as no district had any reason for opposing his nomina- tiOn.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE TAXES?
MOST PEOPLE WONDERING IF THEY HAVE TO PAY THAT
 EIGHT SIMOLE0NS

Most of the working people of this and the other sections of the territory are now probably wondering whether the bill passed by congress recently will really make it compulsory to pay the poll taxes for two years. A re- markable fact about it is that the commissioners of each district is re- quired by the territorial act to supply the territorial treasurer with a list of the taxable people in his district each year in March and that the notice of taxation must be advertised in a local paper of general circulation. Neither of these requirements has been full filled by the commissioners of the ter ritory this year as the law had re- mained imperative on account of the blunder of the local legislature, and it now remains to be seen whether the bill passed by the national legislature recently will render these former re- quirements unnecessary.
 The taxes must be paid each year between the first Monday in April and the first Monday in August so that they are overdue now and may not be collectable on that account, but the congressional bill may also have re- moved that difficulty and word from the territorial treasurer is now being awaited.

PSYCHOLOGY OF COLD STEEL
Bayonets as Visible Sign of Death
More Terrifying Than Bullets.

Anybody can prove that in hand-to-
hand fighting an automatic gun is worth
ten bayonets. Which would you rather
face a burglar with, for example? After
charge across a field, with which could
you do the most damage? There is no
doubt for the answer Yet every military
power retains the bayonet and uses it in
close fighting Why?
The answer goes back OF fighting theory
and fighting machines to the human
equation. 1t is a question of psychology
rather than killing power. The automatic
may be the more deadly weapon but 1t
is net the wicked visible glitter of n row
of fixed bayonets charging up defensive
line. The bullet is an invisible enemy.
You cannot see 1t sweeping toward you;
you do not imagine it cutting into YOU
The gun coughs and It is all over. The
row of bayonets starts. wavers. comes
on, faster and faster, nearer and nearer
Some OF them go down. Others keep on
Cold, visible death is sweeping up to
you, and small wonder that you break
and run.
1t is the constant assertion of the Allies
that the German soldiers have no taste
for steel and have constantly given away
before the bayonet charges. The point
is one of the most psychological ques-
tions which impartial reports may or may
not settle. The fact is unquestonable,
anyway that cold steel has retained its
value in warfare, despite all the mar
velous weapons that gunpowder has
placed in the hand of man.

COUNTRY NEEDS THE HORSE
Banished From the City, He is Use
full on Farm.

There were nearly 21,O0O0c0 horses in
tho United States on January ! last ac-
cording to the count of the United States
Department of Agriculture. At the same
date there were, approximately. 4,5Oo,OOO
mules. says the Louisville Courier

So far as the country at large is con-

Horse-drawn vehicles of all kinds are dis
appearing from city streets, but nothing
in particular seems to be happening to
The horse except that he is being BAN

feels more at home there than he does

The horse by no means has outlived his

when he will not be useful on the farms
for a variety of purposes. 1t is true that
plows are being driven by steam and
electricity in some portions of the coun-
try Perhaps the day may come when
the horse will be emancipated from plow-
ng-at least, in regions where the land
is level and there are no rocks and stumps

little hill farms in this country and some
OF them are almost perpendicular There
are many of that kind here in Kentucky
some of them, in fact, that are too
steep for the horse and must needs be
cultivated with the sure-footed mule or
the plodding steer.
Steam engines, gasoline tractors, cleo
trio motors and the like cannot supplant
the horse in the hill country. Invention
may do the trick in the next century or
so, but the horse seems reasonably certain

trated to all the remote regions, wheN
farming can be done by pressing a button
