Just before we got to the door of
the Symones' home 1 saw Dick cross
ing the street to speak to Eleanor
Fairlow. 1 knew she lived near the
Symones,. but it gave me a little
qualm to see the eagerness with
which Dick FASTENED to meet her and
it seemed to me he held her hand just
a trifle longer than was necessary.
Look who's here" said Harry
lightly, but there was yelled mean
ing in his eyes and a rather sarcastic
smile on his lips.
For some reason Dick and Eleanor
looked up and Dicks face was
study. His first thought evidently was
that which comes to the naughty
boy when he has been caught in some
perfectly harmless thing which has
the appearance of premediated mis-
chief. Then he realized that Harry
and were alone in the limousine and
his face grew black, and that peculiar
look came into it that had learned
to dread.
Harry, however, did not seem to be
worried, and yelled across: 'Hey
there, Dick, quit your fussing with
Miss Fairlow and come over here and
rescue your wife from the most fasci-
mating man in town.
AS Harry said this, Dicks face
cleared and both he and Miss Fairlow
came across the road. Then it was
funny to listen to explanations.
Dick was trying to tell me that he,
had just met Miss Fairlow. AS had
just seen him do so, the remark saw
ored of protesting too much, but that

 In a Zeppelin airship attack on Antwerp ten persons were killed, the minister said, four of them women. Eight were injured
 Secretary Bryan was very reticent concerning the attitude of the Unit ed States toward such protests, and intimated the state department could take no action. The reported activity of Brand Whitlock, Ameri- can minister, in officially protesting to Germany, was denied by Bryan. It is understood that the German military leaders in the battle before Liege and other Belgian cities gave due notice of their intention to use Hague convention.

HEAVY FIRING HEARD

MARSHFTELD. Ore, Aug. 26.- Reports came from many sources along the coast in the vicinity of Coos Bay that heavy firing had been heard to the northwest of Cape Blanco up to a late hour. However, the opinion that there had been an vaval battle received nothing more to veBify it than that heavy firing, lasting from 1O;30 o'clock this morning until 4.30 o'clock this afternoon had been heard at numerous points.
 The steamer Queen, about 8 miles northwest of Coos Bay late today reported nothing concerning the presence of warships, although she was in wireless communication with the shore The steamer Ade- line Smith, off Cape BlancO, also failed to report any engagement and 1t is believed that blasting on land might have deceived those who heard the sound, but no blast ing operations could be located any, where between Cape Blanco and this port.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 26-The story of the futile effort of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers and Elm ployers association of Stockton to con- trol the editorial and news columns of the three daily newspapers of that city in the present labor troubles were re- lated to the federal industrial relations commission today by Irving Martin, owner of the Stockton Record
 While no open threat ever was made to withdraw advertising, MT. Martin said. in the several conferences be- tween publishers and members of the association, the matter of the source of the newspapers. principal financial sup port was always the leading topic preached by business men.
 The principal objection voiced, it was testified by MT. Martin, was that too much publicity was given the union side of the controversy. Union leaders, he continued, brought their news to the various offices. while the reporters found it difficult to obtain a statement from the association headquarters. When both sides eventually established press committees, MT. Martin went on, practically nothing except controversial statements were forthcoming.
 Eventually MT. Martin refused to publish further statements of this char acter, he said, and published an edi- torial advising arbitration. For this act, he testified, he was termed lob noxious'' by certain employers and was told that his editorial was a bad thing to publish for the community

Martin said members of the Typographical union offered their services free in such an exigency The advertising. he con tinued, had fallen off but he did not believe it was due to any concerted action.

 There has been no great influx of Americans the last four days, but it is believed 1000 will arrive from Ger many as soon as the Berlin relief bureau makes possible the cashing of drafts.
 It is impossible here to obtain ac- cu.ate figures as to the number of Americans still on the continent. A fair estimate is thought to be from 15,000 to 20000 in addition to those now at Rotterdam awaiting trans portation. Americans who have reached here on the regular trains from Germany say the treatment they have received was excellent.

The Russians, however, appear to be continuing their ad- vance i'll East Prussia to- ward Posen, with the Ger mans in retreat. The only news from the French side is that the French troops were attacked along the AL sace-Lorraine line, but re- pulsed all attacks success fully.

 The belief is held here that even should the Ger mans succeed in reaching Paris, the Russians are almost as certain to reach Berlin.
