MAYOR TO RESPOND
TO HIS CONTESTANT
uMLAUF THROWS DOWN GAUNT-
LET AT MEETING OF CLAY
WARD ACTTyEs.
CLARK SPRINGS ECHO
LITTLE TILT BETWEEN GEORGE
HOOPER AND HOWARD HES
LEP LEADS TO sATTsFAC-
TORY CONCLUSION.
CLARK SPRINGS ! ECHO

The gauntlet was thrown down by
Councilman UInlauf last night at She
meeting Of the Clay ward actives-
when. in following Mayor Ainsiie, he
stated that he was a candidate for the
mayoralty TO represent the masses and
not the classes.
Up to this time Mayor Ainslie has
been the first speaker at the ward
meetings, and has stated that he
represented as mayor all elements of
citizenship, with leaning toward none.
and with kindly feeling toward all.
Last night. after the councilmantc
candidates had spoken, Mayor Ainslle
was called upon by Chairman Farmer,
of the club. There was the largest
attendance upon the meeting of the
club for over a year Those present
expected TO hear things which might
Jingle in the ear of the voter who had
not settled upon any one candidate
and who might fix himself according
to the manner in which the candidate
might address himself.
The mayor spoke to the questions Of
the hour which might appeal TO those
who were DESTROYS of ascertaining
from the speakers what they had done
and what they expected to do, and
under this head the mayor got a lot of
applause.
Councilman Ur1lauf followed. He
said he had done many things for the
people. and considered himself a lead
er in the matters which the people
shed consummated, and while he,
himself could not have pulled off the
many things which he started and en-
g reered, he was at least = leader.
and that every movement had 70 have
II leader. He said that it hal been
fsaid he had not the ability to make
a speech at convention or body of
men. nor had he dealt faithfully in
many questions which had come be-
fore the common council. but that the
records show he had been on the
side Of the people. and not any class.
or corporation, or clique.
Previous to these remarks by the
candidates for the mayoralty a slight
disturbance OF the serenity of the oc-
casion arose over the old Clark's
Springs property proposition.
Candidate George ]. Hooper en-
deavored TO explain that the resoiu-
ton reputed to have been adopted by
the West End Citizens association.
calling upon council to reject any Of
fer for the sale of the tract. was not
presented To him in the proper shape.
an president of the association. and
his explanation brought former Coun-
Gilman Howard Heslep to his feet, who
reiterated what he had said at the
meeting of the Henry Clay club. that
he had, as acting secretary Of the
club, asked President Hooper TO sign
the resolution. which had been passed
as he stated. but that he would not
do SO. because as Mr.. Hooper stated
the resolution had not been placed on
the minutes of the meeting.
In the explanation il WAS under

|BE GUMS CHANGE
 OF BASE IS PROOF |OF ERMAN ADVANCE

A European artillery officer, writ ing in the New Fork Sun. has this to say of the situation in Belgium :-44-s
 The removal of the Belgian govern n1ent from Brussels has been eagerly seized upon by those who would like to see Gernany achieve victories The military man, however, is not astoIi- fshed so much at the removal of the Belgian government to Antwerp but rather that the move was not accom- plished at once upon the violation Of Belgian territory by the German army Brussels is an unfortified town.
 The distance from Liege and the River Mouse is about that from Jersey City to Trenton3 about fifty miles So long as the German forces were only around Ldege and had not yet cross ca the Aeuse in mass the line of German advance was not clearly ap- parent, and there was no evident danger of interruption in the macfin- cry of government at Brussels
 The real significance of the re- rnoyal the government is that it in dicates the crossing of the Mouse by the Germans in strength and that in- stead of the advance guard cavalry clashes the main forces of the Ger man army in Belgium are across the river and in contact with the defend ing armies of Belgium
 Though Brussels is indefensibIe Antwerp was especially constructed as the centre of Belgian defence and was designed to become the Belgian capital in war time It is the great Belgian arsenal.
