WAR.

C. w. Brauer and family have re-
turned from Europe where they have
been living for the past four years.
Mr.. Brauer has spent considerable
time sn the various European coun-
tries anaking his headquarters at Co
Ipenhagen, Denmark, where he receiv-
ed alllof his mail. He says that owing
to the war, it became impossible to
get his mail at all, and it was almost
necessary for him to return in order
to be in touch with his large business
here.
Mr.. Brauer was in Germany week
before war broke out, but no one
seemed to realize that the conflict was
SO near at hand. He says that as soon
as war was declared, the baggage was
all dumped out of the baggage cars,
along the tracks in Hamburg, and the
cars used to transport the soldiers.
Thousands Of people are unable to get
their baggage and many will never re-
cover their valuable property. One
man Mr.. Brauer met tried to find his
baggage in the pile which was more
than a mile long, and after looking
nearly day gave up the job.

effort, finally has been successful in
prevailing upon the commissioner OF
the general land office to arrange for

railroad right of way through these
townsites the commissioner decided
some time ago to postpone the sale OF
these lots nntil next summer. The
sales as now arranged for will be held
about Nov. 1.

GREAT BATTLE IS
YET UNDECIDED
THREE MILLION MEN ALONG
BATTLE LINE $50 MILES LONG
HAVE BEEN FIGHTING DES-
PERATELY FOR MORE THAN
4 WEEK.

The worlds greatest battle along
the Aisne river, rs miles north OF
Paris, is still in progress, neither side
appearing to have the advantage
Rains have been falling and the men
are suffering from exposure. 1t ap-
pears as tho one army is trying to
exhaust the other. The latest report
says the allies have been unable tc
envelop Gen. Won Kluck's army which
has been heavily reinforced. The
Germans claim to be breaking thru
the Allies center. The Allies west
wing has advanced considerably and
Peronne, rs miles north of Paris, has
been taken after desperate resistance
There are heavy losses on both sides,
Three million men are pitted against
each other.
Hundreds of thousands are in the
hospitals, either sick or wounded, and
every available house thruout the
country has been converted into hos
|pital.
1t is claimed that nine cases of As
iatic cholera have developed in the
army.

at st. John, N. B., today, Canadian

Sank Trio of British Cruisers.
Berlin. Sept. 23.-(by wireless to
|Sayville, L. I.)-Reports received by
the German admiralty show the de-
struction yesterday Of three British
cruisers by the German submarine
U-9. single handed.
London, Sept. 23.-The swift and
silent destruction of three big cruisers,
which cost $12,OO0,OOO, has brought
home the risks of modern naval war
fare.
The unseen enemy crept upon the
Aboukir, then the Hogue, then the
Cressy. One after another the cruis-
ers keeled over and sank. The whole
affair was over in twenty minutes.
Survivors who have been brought to
Dutch and British ports declare there
were three German submarines, while
some say five. The admiralty, how
ever, does not confirm the statement
that any German craft were Destroy
ed. 1t is possible none was even seen.
The British public is finding some
compensation for these losses in the
statement of the admiralty that the
command Of the sea had resulted in
the maintenance of ocean traffic by
1000 merchantmen, with the loss Of
only twelve by capture since the be-
ginning Of the war.

weeks.
The Independent finds it hard to do
Justice in describing the decorations.
The interior decorations are brick
walls with medallion setting, with sky
scene effects covered with natural oak
leaves in autumn colors and grape
vines down the center ledge. Heavy
|timbers are suspended from the CELL
mig with French hanging baskets OF
gold with air fern vines, grape leaves
and autumn flowers. The pieces are
massive, dark green with stucco ef-
fleets. Under these hanging baskets
are set pieces on pedestals.
The windows are especially attrac-
tive. The color scheme is light green
with dark gray, with stucco effects.
The North window has 9 massive
Pergola set piece and with French

BODY FOUND BY TOT IN THE
4 BUSHES. III

While gathering flowers in the
bushes at the foot Of South Welcome
avenue Monday afternoon about five
o'clock, Meredith, the six-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Van
denoeyer. found the lifeless form Of
fourteen-year-old Placeda Clark,
dauehter Of Mrs. Fred Louis, who
lives on the south hill by the water
tank.
"There's girl lying still in the
woods and she doesn't breathe, mann
ma, and there's a bottle by the side
Of her" little Meredith explained to
her mother. An investigation was
made and the body Of the girl was
found. 5s5
Placeda had been sent to q store
about four o'clock by her mother and
upon her return home, she walked into
the woods and committed the deed.
Mrs. j. Gillipeau Of South Welcome
street, sitting in her window, saw the
girl walking up the street and this is
the last seen Of her alive.
She had swallowed the contents Of
q bottle Of the deadly poison. The
Rirl had had temporary fits Of insan-
ity but at other times seemed quite
rational. Once when in school she
had fainting spell and doctor was
called. She had told her teacher that
she intended taking her life, but little
was thought Of her statement.
Coroner Doe deemed an inquest un-
necessary. The remains were inter-
red Wednesday, short funeral SER
vices being held from the Van Fleet
undertaking parlors.
