traverse Belgium to save useless ex-
penditure in blood and treasure
The Belgian government, according
to the newspaper, again refused the
German request.

London.-A terrible engagement has
occurred at Mulhausen in South Al
SAGE, between the Grench and Ger
mans. The French have suffered serl-
Gus reverses, apparently in the face OF
overwhelming hostile forces.
At Basic hospitals. schools, churches
and hotels are filled with the French

One dispatch says the Germans out
numbered the French four to one.'The
Germans boast they have cleared Al
SAGE of the enemy, driving the French
entirely over the frontier.
Germans Had Losses.
Berne, Switzerland,-A number OF
French and German soldiers wounded
IN the fighting at Mulhausen have been
taken to Liadenweiler, in the Grand
Duchy of Baden. Several doctors be-
longing to the Swiss Red Cross organ
ization have left for Underwater via
Basic to attend them. 1t is learned
that two Austrian regiments have ar
rived at Loderach by way of Lake Con-
stance to reinforce the German left.
Aeroplanes frequently fly over Basic
and it's suburbs, but at so great
height that it is impossible to hit
them. The Swiss government has in
formed all foreign governments that it
will do everything in its power to pre-
vent any aeroplane belonging to any
nation flying over Swiss territory.
Severe warnings against attempts to
take advantage Of the present crisis
for pecuniary profit of individuals
have been issued and up to the pres
ent the rise in prices is small.
The Germans are stated to have lost
no less than 5000 men killed and
wounded.

Basle-In the engagements between
Altkirch and Mulhausen the French
infantry got completely out of hand
and with almost insane bravery impet-

ground without taking any kind OF
precautions whatever. ln> = onen u

Paris.-The following official an
nouncement has just been issued by
the French war department:
up to the present hour no encoun-
tiers between the German and French
forces except those of outposts have
taken place.
"The occupation of Mulhausen was
effected by French brigade of in.
fantry in order to destroy the German
intelligence center in operation in that
town. That being accomplished, the
brigade was withdrawn, the general
in command considering the position
too perilous.
"The French brigade was followed
by the entire Fourteenth German army
corps, which were halted by our prin-
cipal lines.
Our strategical situation remains
as before, excellent"
"The best denial that can be given
to the report that the French lost TO-
900 men at Altkirch," says the war
minister, SIS that the total effective
French troops did not reach that num-
ber"

Amsterdam. The statement that

Perhaps it was the after effect of a
good dinner, that dwindling away Of
pleasant emotions; perhaps it was the
very triviality of the offense for which

He rammed one of the colonel's per-

Nora was heartless enough to laugh.
''Re hasn't talked like that to me In
years." Mrs. Harrigan did not know
what to do--follow him or weep. She
took the middle course, and went to
bed.
Nora turned out the lights and sat
out on the little balcony. The moon
shine was glorious. So dense was the
earth blackness that the few lights
twtnkling here and there were more
like fallen stars. Presently she heard
n sound. It was her father, returning
as silently as he could. She heard him
tumble among the knichknacks on the
mantel, and then go away again. BY

grape arbors. For FIVE or six minutes
she watched 1t dance. Suddenly all
became dark again.

Yes. Over here on the balcony.

French Troops Along Entire Front
Engage Germans-5ig Battle
Pending.

Paris.-The French troops along the
antire front are in contact with the
Germans. At Mangiennes, northeast
of Eerden. the Germans attacked the
French. The French, reinforced by
reserves, then took the offensive and
repulsed the Germans with consider.
able loss. A German battery was de.
stroyed by the French ARTILLERY fire
and another was captured with three
gatling guns and ammunition.
! Brussels-Everything points to the
Net that the Belgians are expecting a
ut battle in the open within very
81 time.
p,' IN time there is an enorn0Ya
force Of STsn fss J troops p.. in Belgium;
probably large part of the hive army
corps which France promised last
week.
The greater part Of the Belgian
army is concentrated under King AL
bert and has been joined by the field
force, which has played such a heroic
part in the defense of Liege. 1t Is
ready and eager for the first great &C.
ton which may have an incalculable
effect on the future of the nation.
The activity of the Germans during
the last day or two is significant. They
have been waiting for reinforcements
to come up, and by this time there
must be six German army corps &C
tually in Belgian territory, or all
ready to be thrown across the from
tier.

The Junior Chautauqua.

Just about a year ago the work of
the Junior Chautauqua began, in
close connection with the bigger
movement which we might call the
Senior Chautauqua.
Today, the words Junior Chautau-
qua are magic words for 10000
children in the towns of seven
States. All these children and many
more, in these and five additional
States, are now waiting anxiously
for the coming week of stories,
games, folk-dancing and athletics,
which is the other spelling of Junior
Chautauqua.
Some of the children in this town
have been saving their pennies for
months to earn the precious dollar
that pays for a Junior Chautauqua
ticket.
We have heard some interesting
stories of how they, and many
children of other towns, have earned
the longed-for ticket.
The Junior Chautauqua this sum-
mer will be better than ever. There
will be new stories, new songs, new
games.
There will be hikes" for the
children over twelve years of age
these hikes" to be accompanied by
special stories.
There will be folk-dancing to the
music of the "Victrola'', and a
track-meet one day for the elder
boys.
There will be story-hour in the
afternoon, while the grown-ups
are having their session in the big
tent.
And, on the last day, there will
be play, Mother Natures Gar
den. In this little play, the
Junior leader will take the part of
Mother Nature, whose four messen-
gers, Rain, Frost, Hail and Sunshine
go forth into every corner of the
earth, returning with the. children
of every nation, each nation bearing
its own flag, dancing its national
/ dance, and singing its most loved
song.

The Printers Devil.

In the early days Of printing this art
was much of mystery, and ignorant
people thought the printer evoked the
aid Of the powers Of evil. Aldus Manu-
thus, the famous Italian printer OF the 10Th
century, vent to Africa on an exploring
expedition and brought back with
him a very black negro boy. Negroes
were rarity then. The report immedi-
ately gained circulation that the printer
had been employing the black art in his
work and that the pickaninny was in
reality an imp OF Satan. He was called
the "Little Back Devil". The charge be-
came SO serious that the printer was forced
to exhibit the negro in public. In his an
nouncement he said:
s'Be it known to Venice that i, Aldus
Manutius, printer to the Holy Church and
to the Doge, have this day made public
exposure of the printers devil. All those
who think he is not OF flesh and blood
may come and pinch him."
And that 1t how the printers devil'
had its origin.

Massachusetts republicans and pro-
gressives are mapping out a plan for
fusion in the coming state election.
1t proposes that the state committees
of the two parties shall each select
three men to serve as a joint COM
mittee and suggest state ticket on
platform to be agreed upon. The
suggested candidates would then seek
nomination in both the republican
and progressive party primaries. If
both parties nominated these candi-
dates, the fusion would be considered
accomplished, according to the plan.
The breach between republicans and
progressives is getting pretty narrow
in the Bay state.

There is ''deadly paralleI' be-

democrats can not ignore the
deadly parallel of twenty years ago."
he says, "when they superseded a
protective tariff system by their rev.
enue system under the name of the
Wilson bill. Imports increased, ex-
ports decreased, the balance of trade
was turned against US, gold was ex-
ported, capital could not invest, labor
lost employment. In word, business
was paralyzed.
Snow, note the deadly parallel:
For the first time in twenty years i'm
ports have outrun our exports. In
the single month of April, 1914, the
change against us from the month of
April a year ago, was sixty four
million dollars. This tendency was
continued in May, direct result of
the Underwood tariff act, the second
Wilson bill. Capital is hesitating,
labor is unemployed, gold is leaving
the country in frightful proportion,
business is paralyzed and the nation
is facing an issue of bonds, and sea-
son of depression similar to that of
twenty years ago under the last DEM
ocratic administration of revenue
system of tariff
sit is an interesting study to note
the parallel, the similarity of the
present democratic regime with that
of twenty years ago. I can not be-
lieve that the people will fail to con-
meet results with causes"
