those people than any place know of

Virginia.

while the inside of the home was
decorated in colors of green and
white. The evening was spent in
playing games and a number of
musical selections were rendered.
The hours passed away very rapidly,
each one enjoying a most delightful
evening. Just before departing for
their homes the guests were invited
into the large dining DON where
refreshments were served. The large
Birthday Cake occupied the center OF
the table with the beautiful lights
shading it, made a lovely picture,
There were about 80 guests present;
each one brought with them a present
to Miss Zella. About II O'Clock the
guests departed wishing Miss Zella
many more birthday anniversaries

to celebrate them.

COMMEND to everybody an article
in this issue taken from a Chicago
paper, headed Censorship and
Democracy" 1t ought to set you to
thinking, dear reader, and when you
get through thinking you ought to
feel incensed against "the little brief
authority" which thrusts itself upon
you as your moral guardian. To the
pure, all things are pure" but to
prurlency there is no purity-it drabs
the cleanest art, the best in books,
with the dirtiness of it's own imagin-
ings. Censorship cannot reach it,
while, as the article quoted says, de-
cent people will be censors unto them
selves without official aid.

VALLEY OF MARINE
DESOLATE SCENE
Beautiful River Livid with
Bodies of Horses
and Men.
'Ry cable to The Trihune.

London, Sept. 13.-"The Daily News"
has received the following from one of
its correspondents in France:
THE Marine Valley on Friday Was
miles and miles and miles Of desOIa-
ton. Wherever one moves in this var
swept valley, only a few days ago so
peaceful and beautiful, one meets the
same piteous sight, and so for miles
and miles an uncanuy silence reigns.
The world Is holding its breath,
shocked and terrified.
"The writhing flames have sped over
this sweet country, leaving II SCARED
and scorched. The slow waters of the
Marine are no longer blue with heavens
soft reflection on sunny day, but are
livid and dreadfully malodorous with
the swollen bodies Of dead horses, hun
dreds and hundreds Of them-aye, and
men, too. A blind man could follow
the track of this battle storm easily
enough, and have foundered along il
until I am sick
~ have neither heart nor pen TO tell
Of these CHASTITY scenes The FIRE is
still smouldering over the shallow
graves Of the brave dead. entombed so
hurriedly. One sees here and there In
these grewsome cemeteries a brown
hand thrust through the shovelled
earth, as if reckoning, the hump Of
shoulder tunic and shoulder strap torn
away. It is dreadful-th of II If
you can. For more than one hundred
miles behind the battle line these bury
ing grounds mark the scenes of car
mage"

ALLIES JOY HELD
TO Be JUSTIFIED
Lightning Retreat, How
ever, May Be Best STRAIT
egy for the Germans.
tBy Cable to IN, Tribune. J

London, Sept. l4.-The corresp ondent
of "The Daily Chronicle" in the field
telegraphs the following from Chateau
THIRTY:
"The ever fainter boom Of big guns
over the fields and woods TO the north
tells me in the most emphatic language
that the grand debacle' has begun. A
full half of the Kaiser's armies in
France is in full retreat. Thousands
of prisoners, many guns and quantities
of implements are being captured
daily.
Since the retreat has now continued
for six days, the rejoicing which fills
the French and British can hardly be
called premature. On the other hand,
il would be dangerous as well as fool
ish 10 encourage eXtrayagant hopes.
A lightning withdrawal may in certain
situations be the best strategy. True,
this retreat has been marked by heavy
losses; but, again, the German grand
staff has never shown itself tender
toward its own men. II there is a
plain object in view it hurles its forces
forward, Indifferent to death rolls; and
here, as have already shown, there is
an objective--the evacuation Of the
northwest of France and Belgium end
the concentration eastward, either for
the purpose of rebound or 20 save the
empire itself as events may determine.
II cannot find any one who has con-
ceived any other design as possible.
True, this means abandonment of the
hope Of attacking Paris, at any rate
in the near future. II means i'm
provement Of the western communica-
tion and the general concentration Of
the Allies, but it does not mean that
the fight is altogether hopeless and
useless. A decisive victory can hardly

follow
foot


of failure. Il is, perhaps, less than
rout, and yet more than q retreat.
Every one tells me that the Ger
mans are exhausted. There Is no
doubt of this. They give themselves
up in starving condition in parties Of
fifty or a hundred, and all over the
route of this central advance in the
woods that cover the Brie tablelsnd
and country north of Marine groups
are still known TO be hiding. Some
times they snipe at passers-by or at
tempt feeble resistance, but generally
they give themselves up, half dead from
lack of rest and food, to rear guards
who are inexorably waiting for their
surrender.
Generally speakins, along this ffty
miles of almost continuous battlefield
all you can find Of the dead except the
horses on the day after the fighting
is a Inc Of mounds of fresh brown
earth. There are reports that at
Montmarail the Germans imply piled
their dead in great heaps and burnsA
them to ashes.
Each army generally bH.ies 81
fallen Immediately, but | am told that
there are many Germans dead Of
hunger, wounds and fatigue in the
" Ids to the south, and that some
days must pass before the country is
completely cleared"

BISHOP SAW TURCOS
POUNCE ON GERMANS

London, Sept. 13.-A Reuter- dispatch
from Paris gives the story Of the
Bishop Of Meaux, who witnessed the
fighting between the Germans and the
Allies at Meaux.
THE battle commenced September
5 outside MeauX, and between Mon
thyon and the Marine, where the Ger
mans only put up feeble resistance"
the Bishop said. "Not until the 18th
did a general engagement take place.
French artillery posted on the heights
around Crecy swept the German in
flntry spread out on the plateau be-
tween Meaux and Varennes.
'The firing continued until night.
Then the African troops, which had
been carefully screened in the valley,
began TO assault on the plateau. The
surprised Germans started a heavy
gun IRE and the lighting continued
until 1880 o'clock thta night.
"The battle was resumed next morn
ing, but the Germans retired and the
action continued at Varennes, which
the enemy soon had 20 evacuate. They
led away as hostages ten old men, in-
GLIDING the seventy-six.year-old eurt
of Marbeau.
1.-THE enemy left behind them much
ho"tey whar they abandoned Lizy-sun-
0ureq. eight miles northeast Of Meaux,
when they had made their vietuallinR
centre"

| hazard, too, the statement that by the
times these lines appear in print the
German position will be a much more
serious one than il is at the moment
Of sending this dispatch.
"Of course, those whom have seen
to-day, who have come direct from the
front, speak with the utmost confidence
of the general result of the weeks
work. They firmly believe that the
German retreat on the line of advance
will be out of question, and that Cen
eral Won Kluck will be forced back By
way of the Grand Duchy Of Luxem-
bourg. All information which have
gathered to-day and can receive here
tonight goes to confirm that belief.
"On and around Troyes on Tuesday
and yesterday | had been able to obtain
some interesting information regarding
the course of the struggle in the CEN
tire of the battle front from La Fere-
Champanoise to Vitry-le-FraneOis. The
French have been hotly engaged from
early Tuesday morning and late last
night, so | am informed, most stubborn
fighting having taken place.
ION Wednesday at Vitry-le-Francois,
so number of wounded men informed
me, two battalions of the enemy were,
one after the other, surrounded and
cut up. They resisted with the utmost
bravery and refused to offer to sur
render.
THE attack on we'll placed German
lines has been stubborn and we'll main
tanned, and last night Thursday was
reported to be having effect. 1t is be-
lieved that part Of the enemy's forces
in this neighborhood was withdrawn
during Wednesday night to reinforce
divisions further to the right"
