Claim Berlin Is Gloomy.


London, Sept. 16.-DiSpatches from
Copenhagen and Geneva declare that
gloom prevails in Berlin and that a
serious condition is developing in the
German capital.
A Copenhagen dispatch to the Star
says:
Attempts of German officials tC
hide the truth about the war have
proved futile. The real facts are pene-
trating Berlin from Switzerland and
Southern Germany. Absence of de
tailed news is creating a panic.
THE Socialist paper Vorwaerts COM
plains that the ranks of German unem-
ployed are increasing owing to the
French and British prisoners being
used as railway, road and field work
ers. 1t states that 100000 Germans
have thus been ousted by prisoners
working as government labOrers at
various kinds of outdoor work"
From Geneva comes this dispatch
After several days silence, which
has aroused anger in Berlin, no men
ton is yet made of the battle of tho
Marine. Serious demonstrations con
tinue in Germany, the people insist
ing on knowing the truth from the
kaiser himself, who has suddenly be
come silent"

Crown Prince Is RepuIsed.

Paris, Sept. 16.-The center of the
German army, composed of the forces
under the crown prince, has taken the
offensive against the French troops,
stretched along the Mouse between
Verdun and Toul in an effort to break
through, but has been repulsed. This
information was conveyed in an Off
cial statement.
The evident intention of the crown
prince is to pierce the French lines
so that his army can form a junction
with troops east of the Meuse
The following is the official an
nouncement: The crown princes
army attempted to break through the
Mouse between VeTdun ard TOul. He
has bombarded Troyon which resisted
valiantly. The German forces were
repulsed
1T is believed in well informed cir
cles that the German army will re-
treat into the grand duchy of LuXem-
burg and into the Belgian province OF
Luxembourg, and endeaVOr to rally be-
hind their fortified positions"

TAX ON "SECRET REMEDIES
Dr. Wiley Says They Are Sold at Enor
nous Prices, and if Taxed, Would
Bring Big Revenue.

Washington, Sept. 16.-"Secret rem
edies'' should be made the subject Of
a heavy tax, in the opinion of DR.
Harvey w. Wiley, former chief chem
list of the department of agriculture
He sent a letter to Representative
Underwood suggesting the tax. Doc
tor Wiley declared these so-called rem
edies are sold at enormous prices
and if taxed, would bring in big rev
enue. This very extensive self-medi
cation is a threat to the health and
welfare of the people of the whole
country" the doctor added. Doctor
Wiley also favors an additional tax
of from 25 to 80 per cent per gallon Oh
all rectified spirits used for bever-
ages. Soft drinks, especially those
containing caffein, and fortified wines
should be heavily taxed, he believes.
He especially is anxious to have taxed
mills manufacturing bleached flour,
and he believes the bleaching process
dangerous to health.

American Road
Congress

Regarding the pnblic roads as
an indispensable part of the trans
portatiOn system of the county,
supplementing its railroads and
waterways, President Harrison,
of the Southern Railway Company
takes an active interest in the good
roads movement. He Is Vice
President of the Ame lean High
way Associa'iDn aud Will be one oil
the speakers at the Fourth Ameri-
can Road Congress in Atlanta, the
w5Cii. of Nov. Sth.
Speaking OF the relation of the
country higllyay the railroad, Mr..
Harrison said: Whatever may
be the final destination of the
farm products, their first move
ment must be over the. country
road and if the farmer is to re-
ceive the largest measure of bene.
fit from good roads the policy
should be adopted Of improving
those highways which radiate
from market towns and shipping
stations and over which the farm
ers must haul their products. The
profit which will be earned by the
farmer may depend largely upon
the condition of the road from his
farm TO a shipping station. Sta
tistics compiled by the u. S. De.
partment of Agriculture show
that the cost OF hauling farm pro-
ducts to shipping points over bad
roads is a disproportionately large
part of the total expense of their
transportation to market. This is
not always fully realized by the
farmer, but if he will take into ac-
count the time of himself and his
team, and the wear and tear on
his vehicle and harness made nee.
essary by larger numb Der of trips
with smaller loads, he will find

Army Under Won KIuk Rallies.
Paris, Sept Unsupported by re-
endorsements from Belgium the right
wing of the retiring German army I'm
der General Won Kluk has rallied and
is giving battle to the allies north OF
the river Aisne. Further to the east
north of Rheims, the Germans are also
resisting, but the retreat east of the
Argonne forest is reported to be con
tinuing This was the situation along
the front today so far as could be
gathered by advices from the scene o!
action and government reports.
Statements issued by the French
war Office are confusing.
An announcement made in this city
shortly before midnight said:
Germans Make Stand.
The enemy appears to make stand
dong the River Aisne. On the center.
similarly, it would seem as II the
,nemy intends to resist on the heights
to the northwest and north of Rheims
Another official statement, issued
ONE hours earlier in Bordeaux. said:
ION our left the enemy appeared
TO the north of the Aisne, between
Compiegne and Scissors. line of
iefense which he has been forced to
abandon. In the center, likewise, the
Germans had prepared defensive po-
sition behind Rheims, which they
were unable to hold"
The significance of this discrepancy
Is that the stateSent announcing a
German stand was the later one is
sued.
An unofficial report to the effect
that Maubeuge had been relieved and
200 Germans had been taken pris-
oners there was in circulation here,
but lacked confirmation. Such de-
velopment at Maubeuge would COM
pei the Germans to retire through the
narrow gap flanked by Maubeuge and
Verdun, If they continued their re-
treat.
MOTEL had been officially an
nounced by the German government
In Berlin last week that Maubeuge
had been captured from the French
and that 10000 prisoners and large
number of guns had fallen Into tho
hands of the Germans.

A little country paper that con
stantly harps on politics and pok-
ing jibS at the administration in

of itself with people OF common
sense. 1t were better that such
papers put their efforts toward
county affairs, road building,
schools etc, and leave good poi

hat the cost mounts up very fast |
md cOrrespondingly reduces his
net profits. Another item of the
cost of bad roads to The farmer,
which is often overlooked, is that
he must haul his products to
markets when the roads are not in
their best condition with little re-
gard as to whether prices are
favorable or whether hauling at
that time interfereS with work on
the farm. With good roads he
can not only haul heavier loads in
shorter time but, except as 10 per
