the Belgian officials say ali-of the

Independently and can no longer fig.

man force will besege them while the
main German army moves south.
The LIege garrison with ite reIn-
forcements reiterated, the war office
says, for strategic reasons, and Is
now failing back on Namur where the
French army is In force. The check
to Germany has enabled France to get
her reInforcements In position and
Germany will have to fight every inch

the house of commons late to-
day that Earl Kitchener, min
lister of war, has ordered the
enlistment of a second volun-
teer army of 100, 900 men. This
shows that Kitchener at least,
does not accept the early Ger
man reverses as meaning that
Germany will be overwhelmed.
Instead, he looks for serious
fighting in which all Of the re-
sources of all of the allies will
now be strained before the
German army can be elimin-

Subject to be Touched on by
State University
Speaker.

The meeting OF the members Of the
Retail League tomorrow evening will
be held at the superior court room
instead OF the E1ks club, 1t was de
cided today by NJ. E Justice, presi-
dent OF the organization, and others
who are Of the opinion that the super
Tor court room Will be much cooler
than the basement room at the Elks
club.
The meeting will start at $500
o'clock, promptly. There promises to
be large number Of merchants and
business men present. The speaker
will talk chiefly on the subject of ad-
vertistng, presenting various phases of
the topic, and also will touch on GER
tain other matters.
One thing which probably will be
OF more than usual interest to local
business men, will Do what the speak
er has to say on window decorating
and display. Many have expressed
the opinion that the merchants OF
Keokuk are not as up to date in their
window displays as they should be
and say that other cities Of the same
size have surpassed as in this respect.
The speaker has a very wide knowl-
edge Of this subject and what he will
have to say about window displays
can be accepted as authoritative. 1t
is to be expected that he will give the
local merchants many valuable ideas
along this line as well as along other
lines Of the very important subject
Of advertising.
