BATTLE DESCRIBED BY
LUCKY CORRESPONDENT
WRITER FOR DAILY TELEGRAPH
FIRST REPORTER TO SEE
REAL FIGHTING.

London, Aug. 2G.-Granville For
tescue, war correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, predicts that the
great battle of the worlds war will
open within few days.
Mr.. Fortescue's report was sent
from Givet, France, after the writer
had traversed the Belgian and French
advance posts from Wavre to Gem
bloux, along the valley of the Mouse
to Namur. thence to Givet.
Il solemnly warn the people of Eng
land that this is the beginning of a
time OF great trial. for Englishmen
must be the backbone of the army of
the allies" he says. THE enemy is
advancing like tidal wave. Many
lives must be sacrificed to dam the
engulfing flood. A gigantic battle
must be fought on the morrow, and,
whatever the result, let England be
ready.
First clashing of Arms.
In describing the fighting which he
saw, Mr.. Fortescue says:
Il believe that l am the first war
correspondent to have seen an actual
engagement between French and Ger
man troops in considerable numbers.
A force of German light infantry, sup
ported by mountain batteries, made a
determined attack upon French
force. The fight lasted all day. Dur
ing the morning the Germans had the
advantage.
THE sight of the German flag
reused the French soldiers to fury and
about p. m. 1 heard, for the first
time, the sound of French field artil-
lery in action. The first volley
brought down the German flag, it's
star having been shipped. The ar
tillery was composed of two batteries
and the French gunners set about
coolly and methodically to pour a
steady and effective fire into the Ger
man ranks.
Cannon Wipe Out Germans.
In the meantime reinforcements
arrived. Under smothering fire
could see the Germans begin to dis
appear. Another French regiment
came up and the French pushed for
ward to occupy the position from
which they had been driven during
the morning.
The road was dotted with dead that
lay just as they had fallen. They lay
in all sorts of contorted positions,
their blue coats splashed with red
and their red trousers stained to a
deeper crimson. The cheers of the
French troops died out as the men
came upon this grim spectacle.

THE MAYVILLE NORMAL.

In the reports sent out from Bis
various educational institutions of the
state, the Mayville formal was stated
to have requested an appropriation of
.$18O,0OO in round numbers. This is
but one Of the many incorrect things
which have originated in Bismarck
with reference to educational appro-
-priations and demands. The sum list
ed is the total revenue which the au-
thorities of the school estimate will
be needed to carry them through the
period, and all but s46,500 of his
is already provided for. the estinat-
cd receipts from the interest and IN
come fund, which is the property of
the school. the legislature having 10
control vel it, being sufficient to
make up the balance. The school,
therefore, goes before the legislature
asking for an appropriation of $780,
500 instead of the larger amount stat
ed.
We have no doubt that the granting
Of this sum will be opposed vigorous

" oppose appropriations, large or

the theory on which they proceed be-
ing that II state money spent for

woman has II a fair trial, aud that
a just decision has been reached. The
feature in the case which stands out
prominently is that there were no
delays. Mrs. Sharpless began her life
term in the penitentiary just one
month from the day on which the
murder of which she was convicted
was committed. During that time the
arrest was made, the preliminary pro-
ceedings were taken, the jury was
chosen, the witnesses were examined,
arguments We're made. and the woman
was convicted, sentenced and taken to
prison.
There is more value in the hand
ling of Il case in this manner than in
any severity Of punishment that could
be devised. Advocates. of the contin-
uance of capital punishment argue
that it is necessary to hold before the
community the possibility Of punish
ment by death in order to deter peo-
pie from the commission of capital
crimes. The records are far from
proving that the desired end is reach

A EXHIBIT.

1t is impossible to estimate the BEN
eft which will come to the state Of
North Dakota from the exhibit of its
natural which is now being
shipped to the Panama exposition by
Dean Babcock, of the school of mines.
The character Of the exhibit has been
briefly set forth in new articles, but
no printed article can convey to the
mind anything approaching the real
facts. The exhibit includes samples
of the clays of the state, and articles
manufactured from them, which
range from common building brick to
the finest china: Ignite Goals of va
rious grades. and illustrations Of the
processes by which the raw material Is
transformed into a high grade and
easily handled fuel: gases, fuel oils.
and chemicals Of Various kinds which
are saved as by%-products of these
processes; these and many other
things which demonstrate splendidly
the wealth which North Dakota has
In her soil. apart entirely from the
fertility of her fields, which has thus
overshadowed all else.
Dean Babcock had an excellent ex-
hibit Of this general character at the
st. Louis exposition, and 1t attracted
a great deal of favorable attention.
Since that time ml.cn has been done,
and many things rave been learned.
and the former exhibit was small and
meager beside the one which will be

play, and interest will be aroused in
