Over River MeuSe.
GERMANS LOSE $4,000 MEN
British Troops Suffer a Severe
Reverse al Maubeuge.

Like a great flood swallowing all
before it, the German advance is poar'
ing into northeastern France.
Three million men of the Eai c'''&
forces are hurting themselves ai.at

recht of Bavaria, and the army oil the
Saar, under the Crown Prince RupD

Moselle, commanded by the imperi'
Crown Prince Frederick William, hay
ing effected a complete junction
These vast forces have struck and ap
parently overwhelmed the French ad
vance posts and are pushing forward
with wonderful rapidity.
The German advance has already
reached the vicinity of Verdun and
has come in contact with the corps
that centre there. The fall OF Long
wy, after a heroic defense lasting
more than three weeks, cleared the
way for their advance.
1t is rumored here that the allies
have been defeated at several points
between Lille and Sedan, but as yet
there is no confirmation of the report,
The Moselle army holds the towns
of Villerupt, Longuyon, Joppecourt
Audon-le-Roman, Briery and probably
Montmedy. It's cavalry has crossed
the river Chiers toward the Meuse,
Behind the Meuse, between Verdun
L'rDnnh force
and the most powerful artillery that
has ever been made.
All bridges across the Meu2e have
been destroyed and the German fore
es will have to hit the French with
terrific force in order to break through
and join the army Of the Meuse which
is operating in the direction of Lille.
The war office maintains that the
French troops are successful in the
Vosges campaign. That the fighting
there is desperate is evidenced by an
announcement that the bodies Of 1000
German soldiers were found in one
district where the French were vic
torious. This slaughter is attributed
to the superior French artillery.
1t was stated that the ia! Of Long
Wy occurred only after ha;f of the
little garrison had been killed. Or
ders for the surrender are said to have
been sent from Paris by wireless
which connects all the French mill
tary posts
A wounded Zouave officer, who ar
rived in Paris, estimated t1e German
losses in the three-l2y bate Of Char
leroi at $4,000 killed and wounded.
"The German artillery rra iuced ter
rife explosions" he said, "b It did lit
tie damage The French artillery was
most deadly, whole ranks ci the Ger
rGans were moved down by shrapnel.'

BODY OF Pope

Of Other Popss'
CONCLAvE TO MEET AUG 3
One Thousand Persons, Presene 0'
Special Invitation, Witnessed the
Ceremony of Entombment.

The entombment of the late rope
Plus X took place at sunset in Rome
The great Basilica OF St. Peters was
In emi.darkness. A Pickering ngh'
came from the perpetually burning
tapers about the Shrine OF the Apos'
ties and the candles on the chape'
where the catafalque stood. Those
who witnessed the ceremony, mum
bering 1000, came by special invita-
tion and included the diplomatic rep
resentatives accredited to the Hol!
See, the .prelates and members OF the
Roman aristocracy.
The procession formed in the cnap
ell of the Blessed Sacrament, Where
for hours the body of Pous X lay ID
state. The catafalque was surround
ed by the triple crown, and the BODY
of the Pope was clad in the PontlhcaI
robes and surrounded by the emblems
of his sacred office. During the course
of the day many thousands OF per
sons passed by the bier. The elel
was removed and placed on 10"
platform on wheels. At the gates ol
the chapel the archpriest OF the Bas'
ilica, in violet robes and surrounded
by the chapter, joined the procession
First came a jeweled cross held alol'
then the Cardinals and high prelates'
each carrying a candle. In the centre
of the procession was the bier, the
cortage passing amid the kneellne
crown, while through the vast and 81
lent church was heard the Mlserere
sung by the Sistine choir.
The solemn cortege marched into
the sryp where the body OF Plus X
will have it's final resting place. Here
the roof is very low, and the Miserere
had peculiarly weird and melan
choly effect. The tomb Of the late
Pontiff is on the right at the en-
trance to the subterranean chapel
close to that of several other Popes
At this point several ancient marble
tables were removed to make room
for the tomb of Plus, which, while
partly within the wall, also projects
into the passage.
The body of the Pontiff lies In a
cypress wood coffin, on which rests
a gold cross. This is enclosed in zinc
and finally in an oak casket. On the
casket is the inscription:
"Here lies the body of Plus x, born
June 2, 1885; died August 20, 1914
The coffin was placed within the
tomb, while Cardinal Della Volpe re
cited prayers for the dead, accompan
led by all present kneeling. A monu
ment to Plus X will be erected In
the cyrp.

/ All over the United States the Red

For nine years there has been a
national organized campaign against
this disease.
Its plan is:
A direct attack en- the disease

2. Education Of the people in
personal and public hygiene.
3. Teaching simple. truths about
tuberculosia
1 4. Creating public sentiment to

control of the disease
This plan is carried out in differ

campaign must be financed and this
has been a battling task. II Is precise

which we have arrived.
In 1908 the American Red Cross
issued its tuberculosis stamps on a
national basis for the first time.
$1S5 900 was realized. In 1909 the
sum was doubled. In 1912 1t reached
$4,000 600. This money is devoted to
anti-tuberculosis work. In certain
