IN REPORT
Barracks Men Assure Board He
Did Not Receive Supplies
Needed by County.

That Captain Tom Donaldson, for
mer head of the county's Public
Works Department, took only such
supplies from the county commissary
as the county did not need was the
report filed with the County Commits
sion Saturday by the officials at the
barracks.
The report, signed by n. Lyon,
bookkeeper; A. c. Coker, yard guard;
A. c. Thompson, transfer clerk, and
P. B. German, garden guard, declares
that Captain Donaldson was supplied
with vegetables twice a week during
the summer, and also was supplied
with fresh meats when hogs at the
barracks were killed
The convicts were never deprived
OF anything because of the supplies
furnished to the former chief of the
department, the report asserts.
Letters Commend Donaldson.
The report was filed at the request
of Captain Donaldson, VINO had been
directed by the commission to fur
nish the board with an idea OF the
amount of the county's supplies he
| had used at his home. The board will
act upon the report later.
A half dozen or so letters from for
mer members of the board accompa
MED the report All of them spoke in
praise of Captain Donaldson's char
acter, and said 1t has been a custom
| for the married men in the employ of
| the county to get vegetables and fresh
meat from the commissary.
This, the letters said, was regarded
as part of the mems compensation
| The unmarried men are boarded by
! the county.
Statement Resented.
An expression in letter written TO
Captain Donaldson by Captain Jack
| Spalding, a former member of the
| board, was resented by the Commits

would be easier for the board "to put

st was an unfortunate expression
commented General Anderson. "and

l then asked him what was the un-
derlying cause. apart from the actual
steps which had led TO the rupture.
He replied, in effect, that the war was
started and was being maintained by
the Prussian military aristocracy
which set no limits to its ambition OF
worldwide predominance.
'In a word" he said, ut is the old
struggle Of a hundred years ago
against Napoleon. The grouping OF
forces is different; the circumstances
are different; the occasion is different;
the man, above all, is different-hap-
PLY. But the issue is the same. We
are at grips with Prussian militarism.
England stands right in the path Of
this ever-growing power.
"Our military force is perhaps
small. but II is good and II will grow;
our naval and financial resources are
considerable: and with these we stand
| between this mighty army and a do
minion which would certainly not be
content with European limits"
/ asked whether the end of the war
would see some abatement of the
struggle of armaments. Mr.. Churchill
replied:
THAT depends on the result. II we
succeed and if. as a result of our vic
tory, Europe is rearranged as far as
possible with regard TO the principle
of nationality and in accordance with
the wishes of the peoples who dwell
in the various disputed areas, we may

Honuse today and Republican men,
bers. led by Representative Stephens,
ranking minority member Of the In

they would endeavor to amend the

Republican opposition to the bill is

BERLIN, VIA AMSTERDAM, Aug.
20.-Orders have been issued to
check the Russian advance. Troops
Of the first line, heavily reinforced
by second reserve and members Of
the Landsturm. are being sent east
ward to the positions selected by the

support of the Austrian forces which
have been transferred from the
seryian border and Of the Austriah
army corps which we're started from
Vienna on Wednesday.
While all information regarding
military movements is withheld, there
Is confidence that the combined army
will he able to hold the line against
the Russians. The plan Of battle has
been carefully made. Because Of the
immense distances in Eastern Prus-
sia, II was deemed unwise 10 oppose
the enemy with heavy force there.
Instead, much of that country was
abandoned and the German troops
fell back after inhicting serious dam
age on the enemy. The War Ofilce
suggests that important movements
now in progress will likely put a diff
ferent aspect on the situation in the
