New York. Sept. l2.-Rev. DR.. Cyrus
Townsend Brady. the famous clergyman
author. who arrived here from Europe
today on the steamship Ancon, de-
clared that conditions. are such in Italy
that the United states should intervene
for the protection of its citizens. Ac-
cording to DIR. Brady, hundreds of Ital-
lan-Americans who were travelling in
Italy when the war broke out are being
held there for service in the army in the
event Italy goes to war. He cited the
case of Rev. D. \. Cassattl, of Trinity
Church.

was accused of being German spy.

Praise for Railway Men.

Il have had the opportunity to know
the fellowship of the railway managers
in the United States today" continued
Mr.. Harrison, land. considering them as
class, I challenge any other class of
the community to match them for cour-
age, for unremittIng labor. for high
ambition and for good intentions. and l
believe that. as the public knows them.
It will grant them the reward of good
opinion and respect which l. myself have
for my colleagues in the service. They
are men in the way literally to realize
Ruskin's definition Of an artist as "a
person who has submitted to a law
which It was painful to obey. that he
may bestow a delight which it is grac-
ious TO bsstow'."
The Southern Railways president pre-
diets that disaster will result from a con-
tinuation of oppressive form of legisla-
ton directed against the railways in re-
cent years. and that the disaster will not
be confined to railway circles. but will
extend over the entire commercial world.
Men engaged in those manifestations
of industry known as manufacturing and
distribution" said Mr. Harrison, ARE
trained to understand the problem CT
management of a railway. They have
seen the railroads regulated, they have
contributed for their own advantage 10
accomplished that regulation. and they
have largely harvested tho fruits of that
regulation: but they are now beginning
to realize that they have unloOsened i
beast which is likely to raven at heir
own doors before 1t is chaI7ed, il evc-
again it is to be chained.
The principle of the interference of
government in private industry is not
likely to be applied forever merely to
railways, or even to those aggregations
of other forms of industry known as
trusts. We all feel every year more and
more the hand of the government in our
private affairs, and, unless the public
conscience is diverted to something else
We are likely to see steady expansion
Of the domain OF the sovereign (who, in
our civilization, is evidenced by the rep
reseRtative legislature) on social aues-
tons affecting every man engaged in the
Of industry, or the owner
ship OF the tools OF industry. That means
the small manufacturer as well as the
large manufacturer; the small employer
OF labor as well as the large employer Of
labor. At the moment this tendency, so
far as 1t has been diverted from its
earliest hostages-the managers of the

II is evident that Gen. Won Kluk, in his
dash to PrOvins, overran his supporting
center. and with the dispatch of the army
OF defense of Paris to the aid of the
British and French left Won Kluk was
Outnumbered practically two to one, and
was in grave danger OF being completely
annihilated. In his anxiety TO escape the
trap, he was forced to abandon much of
his supplies, and at certain points his re-
treat assumed the proportions OF a rout.
Indeed, a good part OF his force still is
in danger of being cut of and captured.
Cut on by British.
That the British First and Second dlvi-
sions already have been successful in
cutting on a part of these fleeing forces
is indicated by a report brought in from
the front saying that a large force of
the enemy had been struck sixty miles
to the northeast of Paris and 5000 pris-
oners and fifteen guns had been captured.
The prisoners, who reported the German
forces demOralized, were half starved and
ravenously devoured the beef and bis
cults with which the British troops sup
piled them.
The most spectacular success during
this fight was that of fifty British cyclists
who broke from the cover of a small
wood and captured $50 of the enemy's
cavalry which had become detached.
Forty other German prisoners, all
wounded by bayone: thrusts, have ar
rived in Paris. They were with the army
TCtreating across the Ourcq and the
Marine. The Germans were in a strongly
ntrenched position, which Gen. Joffre
ordered to be attacked by artillery. A
duel Of big guns ensued for two days
without cessation, until finally Capt.
George Bellenger, OF the aviation corps,
located the exact position of the German
batteries, which then were annihilated by
the French guns. A rout followed, in
which the Germans. driven at the point
OF the bayonet, crossed the Ourcq in dis
order. abandoning equipment and whole
cases of ammunition. The Valley of the
ourcq is still covered with the unburied
German dead.

Sale of Warehouse Property.

Pursuant to resolution recently
adopted by the stockholders of the
Kingstree Warehouse Company, all
the property belonging to said COM
pany was sold at public auction in
front of the court house here at
noon Monday. The property offer
ed for sale consisted of one lot on
Brooks avenue and the dilapidated
building located thereon, formerly
known as 'Gorrells warehouse, and
for the past two years operated by
Mr. M R Gass, manager, as a tobac-
co warehouse, also several lots in
North Kingstree on one of which is
located a large frame structure
originally erected in 1909 as a ware
house for the sale of leaf tobacco.
This is in bad repair and of no value
beyond the worth of the old mater
ials. These lots and old materials,
lumber, brick and tin, were sold as
whole for the amount of the upset
bid which was $500, Hon R H
Kellahan being the purchaser.
1t is the present intention of Mr.
Kellahan to build a large brick
warehouse upon the site of the old
Gorrell warehouse so as to have it
ready for use by the opening of the
tobacco season this year.
The sale Monday wipes out all
that remained of the Kingstree To-
bacco Warehouse Co as an organiza-
ton, which had its beginning in the
spring of 1909. The company has
been unfortunate, inasmuch as their
warehouse investments resulted in q
loss of about 70 per cent of the
capital invested.
