DEATH BLOW 4 JINX
FOR ARTHUR PELKEY

Arthur Pelkey, the big heavyweight,
whose blow brought death to Luther
Mccarthy, has announced his perma-
nent retirement from the ring. Pelkey

it is said that he never had the cour-

TAKE PARIS Or DIE
IS ORDER OF KAISER

| LONDON, Aug. 31,-(Special) The
Times correspondent at Ostend re-
cords conversation with German
officer from Brussels who said frantic
efforts were being made to infiict a
crushing blow on the allies, especially
on the English forces. oNtwithistand-
ing the success achieved by the Ger
man army, the dispatch says, there is
feeling among many German sold
iers that they are fighting against too
great odds.
Despite all efforts to conceal the
news from Prussia, it is stated infor-
nation of disquieting character re-
garding events is beginning to circu-
late among the German forces, and
this feeling of anxiety was intensified
when two divisions totalling $4,000 men
passed the Meuse by the bridge of
Andenne at Settles between Namur and
Liege en- route for German oHlland.
The German emperor has made it
known to every soldier that his orders
are to take Paris or die, the dispatch
concludes.

Zepplins Soon will Rain Bombs
On Sleeping London. Says Consul

Chicago, Aug. 31.-The early invas-
ion of England by the death-dealing
zeppelins, the defeat of the French in
the vicinity of Longwy by the German
forces under the crown prince, and the
capturing of 5000 Russian prisoners
on Aug. 20, was the gist of an official
wireless message received today by
Baron Won Rieswitz, German consul
in Chicago.
THE German army is now near Os-

British seaport town the distance is
only 81 miles, small matter for the

$4,000 in Quebec Mobilization Camp;
Canada Expects to Send 10000 Men

Valcartier, Quebec, Aug. 31.-With
the arrival of troops from all parts of
Canada during the past week, the mob
ilization camp here has reached
strength of approximately $4,000 Off
GERS and men, more than one-half of
Canada's overseas expeditionary force.
The camp got down to real work this
morning when practice was begun on
rifle ranges containing 1900 targets.
The western troops are now on their
way and will arrive in day or two,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-01

and there is every possibility that the
total strength of the camp will be
nearer 10000 than the $4,000 at first
expected.
1t is likely that several thousand
troops will remain in camp after the
main body leaves as a nucleus of a
second contingent, if it should be necs-
sary to send one.
Many in the ranks are former mill
tiamen residing in the United States
Some came from as far as New Or

FRANCE MAY MOVE

possible, he said.
Think what it means-London on

ride over there in the dead of night,
practically unseen, and drop those
death-dealing bombs. We are not
boasting. It's a reality. The damage
that could be done to London cannot
be estimated.
Il do not believe there will be much

after. This is the first official message
