fondest memories. that was first

remarkable tale of systematic thieyery became public last night when Detectives Propst and Jones announced that they had completed their case against Joe Townsend. Arthur Will kinson and Oliver Nelson. all negro employees of Drennen's department store, and D. L. Doe Johnston. ne- gro druggist at Avenue F and Eight eenth street
 All the negroes are in the county Jail with the exception of Johnston, who made s20o bond on a charge of receiving and selling stolen property. The other three negroes are charged with grand larceny.
 In the estimate of the Drennen com pany the negroes have managed to di- vert several thousand dollars of mer- chandise from the warehouse and have pocketed the proceeds of what they realized on the sales.

 The outcome depends. largely on Whlch side can bring up most quickly the strongest endorsements. The two armies are about evenly placed. The Ger mans have behind them railways stretching into Belgium and Luxem- burg, and Germany itself. while the all lies have all France behind them in addltlen to the sea, which the British navy has kept open.
 While the French railways have suf- fered greatly in the German advance or Paris and the retreat from that dis trlct, the French were long ago nre- rarod for such contingency. Army en- s;neers and builders who have fol- lowed the --ghting men have relaid tracks and reconstructed bridges The government had reserve material. all ready prepared to duplicate every bridge likely to be destroyed by inc enemy. This was taken to the appoint ed places in sections
 The Germans. it is said, have received oo'ooo new men for the right wing, but with the necessity of sending troops to the cast, it is unlikely they are any stronger or the center and left than they were at the beginning of the bat tie
 The allies with fewer men to draw on, are keeping their armies up to full strength and probably are increasing them. They soon will have many trained men from the British garrisons in Egypt, Mediterranean stations and later from India The battle, however may be over before these troops reach the front, so the allies must make the fight with what they have.
 Tf. I .t.... seems unchanged. None of the reports refer to fighting there.
 The Russian offense against Austria Is developing slowly. There are great stretches of country to cover and enor- nous numbers of men to move Austria it is computed, has not more than a half million men left to guard her northern frontier against the Russian millions, but if she can withdraw them to Cracow in some sort of order she car rely on the help of a well trained German army corps.
 It is to prevent this that Russia is bending her energy. She at present has an army drawn across Galicia from Tarnogred, in the north. right down to the Carpathians, passing east of the fortresses of Siena'va. Jarostav and Przemysl. all of which she is about to attack. This army IS moving west ward while another, driving the sec ond Austrian army before it. accord ing to Russian reports is moving south from Zamosc and Radon between Prbemysl and Cracow
 The Austrians are forming new front to oppose the move and the two arnies soon must come together. The Austrians have prepared for a long siege of Prezmysl, having there provi sions to last the garrison of 60,n00 men two years.
 On the east Prussian frontier the Russians claim not only to have arrest ed the German advance, but to have had some successes in counter attacks.
 The talk of peace finds no encour- agement in England. It Is felt here that England was dragged into a war not of her making and that no peace over- lures will be welcome at the present time.

MAJOR DUNLAP DIES
 AT SOUTHS|DE HOME

Major James J. Dunlap, aged S3, died at his residence on South Twentieth street, last night at $50 clock. He had been ill for sometime. It was announced by the family last night that the funeral arrangements had not then been com pleted.
 Major Dunlap was born in Greene coun- ty where his two sons, John and Clay Dunlap, still reside. There he lived until he reached the age of manhood. From there, he went to the war, and in the service of the south did conspicuous serv- lee. Many a battlefield, his comrades re- member, was the scene Of his intrepid daring.
 While resident of Birmingham for several years, the major on account of his advanced age, lived a retired life. He was an accomplished student of human nature, and a keen observer of current events. He had many friends and happy faculty of drawing younger men and re- taining their friendship. He had a ready humor and warm sympathy. and was as a result never at loss for the proper word to say. The announcement of his death will be received by general grief.
 Major Dunlap is survived by his widow and the following children, Mrs. Ander- son, Mrs Leonard. Miss Minnie and Miss Emma Dunlap, all of Birmingham, and John and Clay Dunlap of Eutaw.

The de- tectives allege that Townsend would daily prepare a box which manifestly contained only waste paper and gen. eial trash. But underneath all the waste there were always some shirts and miscellaneous merchandise. These trash boxes were always given to either Oliver Nelson or Arthur Will kinson, negro delivery drivers for the Drennen stores, and they would take them to their fence"
 The fence" in this case. the detec- tives alleged, was D. l..

On the other hand the detectives also allege that by maneuvering they have man. aged to secure confessions from the other three negroes duplicating John ston.
 A member of the Drennen firm swore out warrants for all of the negroes, and they will have a preliminary trial within a few days.

 The world undoubtedly will be less eX- travagant in it's use of food and other necessities than it was last July. It will be less prosperous, but with 1S,oO0,Oo0 wealth makers suddenly transformed into so many wealth consumers. we find that our competition is removed in other mar kets and that competition itself becomes user of a greater variety of our goods.

 It is believed that Captain Moro. of the Leggett was washed overheard short ly before the ship sank. for it was Cap tain Jensen. Farrell said. who was in charge of d futile attempt to launch two lifeboats which foundered as soon as they struck the water.
 Farrell, who had recovered consider ably tonight from his exhaustion, said the Leggett carried a full list of passen- gers, between 40 and 50, while the crew numbered about 25. Among the passen- gers were six women, a girl and boy, including the captains wife the mates wife and the wife of Captain Anderson, of the schooner Carrie Dove.
 We left Grays harbor Wednesday morning." said Farrell. Later the sea became rough. The Leggett began to pound heavily and the captain gave or ders to iettison the deck load. Then the seas swept off the matches and the hold began to fill Captain Jensen ordered the passengers into their cabins and many were in them when the boat went lodyn.

We think so. We have, in the face cf the largest business we have ever done and with greater quantity of orders on hand than we ever had, increased our ad- vertising appropriation for September from s22, GOO to $54,00O.

 America is the only manufacturing na- ton in the world not at war.
 The United States is the only nation at peace in the world with supply Of food on hand in excess of her own re- quirements.
 Our crops are more bountiful than ever before.
 Our factories have never participated largely in worldwide commerce.
 We have helped to feed and clothe the world but we have never been largo factors in supplying the world with man ufactured goods. What we have taken from the nations now at war has been our luxuries-not our necessities.
 Our wheat has been shipped to Europe to be ground by European mills into flour which in turn has been shipped to other countries for consumption.
 American cotton has been shipped 10 England and Germany, there to be spun into textiles that were returned to Amer ica and shipped to other countries.
 The copper from our mines has been shipped to Europe there to be made in."

 Aside from a few specialties such as typewriters, adding machines, cash reg isters, etc, we are producers and deal CTS, so far as the world is concerned. in raw products.
 Custom, in the use of any article, makes it difficult to establish goods. For that reason America has not been able to got even a fair share of South America trade. Now that Competition is unao'e to deliver the goods needed in these foreign markets, those who formerly would not consider our wares are begging us to sup uy them with their wants.
 By play of fate our competitors for time are forced out of the markets which they held so firmly. Salesmanship is not needed to capture these new 'nar- kets for American goods, for necessity is forcing the trade we have so long wanted to seek our sources of supply.
 We are in the position of the merchant who has, goods to sell, but who, because his rivals are more firmly established and have a satisfactory prestige is una ble to secure a fair share of the trade, ard who awakens some morning to find that the stocks of all his rivals have been de- stroyed by fire. In consequence buyers enter his store who never before have considered him supplyer of their wants.
 The cotton which has been shipped to Europe to be made into textiles for use in South America, in the orient and in Europe, must now be shipped to New England to be woven into textiles for use in markets we have never intimately known.
