RECORD
ARE FIGURES AND
FACTS ABOUT ORGANIZATION
REPRESENTED HERE.

In connection with the annual con-
vention Of the Woman's Relief corps,
that closed here yesterday, many in
quiries have been made as to the
scope of the work done by this great
auxiliary to the G. A. r.
The following interesting facts,
taken from recent article concern
ing the Womans Relief corps will be
of interest:
Nearly three years ago the national
government took over Andersonville
park as gift from the Woman's Re-
lief corps. 1t will ever hereafter be
maintained in a fitting manner by the
United States.
Some years ago the Woman's Re-
lief corps built and maintained
home in Ohio for aged army nurses.
and for a few years took care of $50
inmates; but the burden proved too
great, so they gave the entire prop
erty to the state of Ohio, and it is
being maintained by that common
wealth in a way which all appreciate.
"rhe national organization Of the
Womans Relief corps are 3S depart
ments, with 2,644 corps, together with
Al detached corps having a total
membership of 10000.

PRUSSIANS PRESS
ON TOWARD PARIS

Berlin, Aug. 2S.-The war office
announces that ile British at Maui
beuge were defeated with heavy
losses, and that the French-Belgian
army south of Namur was routed. NO
details of the battle are given, but it
is said the losses on both sides were
heavy The time of the battle was
not stated.
1t is now considered certain that
the kaiser's forces will reach Paris,
as the mainline Of French fortifica-
tons have been broken at several
points. The war office admits that
the German army suffered severely,
but states the losses We're not out OF
proportion to the successes achieved.
1t is declared the allies retired
whenever the Germans charged with
bayonets. The superiority OF the
German infantry is said to have been
evident at Longwy and Namur..
Kaiser Wilhelm today telegrapned
the cabinet to provide immediate re-
lief for the Prussian refugees, fleeing
before the advance of the vast Rus
sian armies. The emperor directed
that the refugees be cared for inside
the German lines until the invasion
is CHECKED" Additional reinforce
ments of reserves were rushed tC
meet the Russians, and terrific bat
tie is expected when the Russians
reach the first line OF forts.

GERMANS ARRIVE
BEFORE CALAIS

Washington, Aug 2s.-The German
ambassador here today received by
wireless an unofficial report that the
German troops had penetrated the
French line OF defense and were in
the outskirts of Calais, France.
Another Berlin wireless report
stated that France is facing a grave
crisis, as the German armies reach
from Cambria to upper Alsace. The
French army is reported to be dfvid-
ed, with Tart practically surround
ed by Germans. Berlin reports that
the French army in the north, which
includes British troops, is surround
ed in isolated positions along the
Sambre and Meuse rivers. In the
east, the northern armies are wide
ly separated, while the German cav
airy is advancing to Ostend.

ALLIES HOLDING
BIG GERMAN ARMY

Paris, Aug. 2S.-The second line OF
defense, we'll within France, is re-
ported holding today under enormous
German presue along the entire front.
1t is admitted the Germans out num-
Der the allies, and that the latter
have been compelled to give way
where pressure was the greatest, but
it is declared that for every French
man killed three Germans have been
slain.
The war office denies that the
French positions have been turned,
insisting that every retrograde move
ment was provided for and that at
the proper time the allies will as
sumo the offensive. The British troops
are holding the center where the
main German army is advancing. The
admission that the British must
check the invasion or be overwhelm-
ed, indicates the general staff holds
the opinion the Germans are stakins
eNerything on one mass assault, nov
beginning.
The official denial that Lille had
! surrendered greatly cheered the
French people.

KAISER'S FORCES
OVERWHELM ALLIES

London, Aug. 2S.-Rcports received
here indicate that the Germans con-
tinue to force back the allies by
sheer weight of numbers and are
steadily pressing toward Paris, but
the war office processes not to be
unduly alarmed.
The German losses have been
enormous, and it is believed the con-
slant losses necessitate the Germans
presenting real opposition to the
Russian, who are endeavoring to check
the kaiser's advance before the Ger
mans can besiege Paris.
1t is admitted that England must
bear the brunt of the fighting, as the
French have shone they are unable
to hold the Germans.
