Justice Lurton's Will
Is Held to Be Void

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 24.-The
will of Associate Justice Horace H.
Lurton, of the Supreme Court, abso-
lutely void for want of attesting wit
nesses, has been filed for probate
here. Being written entirely in the
late Justices handwriting, it would be
effective in some States, probably Ten
nessee, where it was written, but not
in the District of Columbia. The law
here requires at least two witnesses.
The will" which is dated Nash
Vile, Tenn, June 8, 1898, will be ac-
cepted by the Register of Wills as a
mere "testamentary paper" 1t is
notable for its simplicity 1t reads:
This is my last will and testament.
First. l leave all of my estate
real and personal, to my wife, Fanny
owen Lurton.
Second. l name in my said wife
my sole eXecutriN, and direct that no
bond he taken and that she be not re-
quired to render any account what

Third. IF I shall survive my wife,
I leave all of my estate in equal parts,
without any advancement charges, to
my two children, Mary Lurton Finley

Destroy Germany or
England Will Perish,
Declares NoUelist

London, Aug. "a. H. G. Wells
England's foremost novelist, writes as
follows for a new illustrated weekly:
What is the object of this war
We cannot simply put the Germans
back over the Belgian border and tell
them not to do it again.
I'VE find ourselves at war with
that huge military empire with which
we have been doing our best to keep
peace since first it rose upon the ruins
of French imperialism in 1871.
1--WE have now either to destroy or
be destroyed. We have not sought this
reckoning. We have done our utmost
to avoid it, but now that ii has been
forced upon us it is imperative that 1t
should be a thorough reckoning.
This is war that touches every
man and every home in each of the
com batant countries. 1t is a war not
of soldiers. but of whole peoples. 1t
is a war that must be fought to such
a finish that every one in each nation
engaged understands what has hap
pened.
There can be no diplomatic settle
ment. That will leave German inn
perialism free to explain away its fail
ure to it's people and start new prepa-
rations. We have to go on until we
are absolutely done for or until the
Germans as a people know that they
are beaten and are convinced that
they have had enough of war.
There is no thought of glory. We
know we are facing unprecedented
slaughter and agonies. We know that
for neither side will there be easy
triumphs or prancing victories. AL.
ready there is hideous butchery, anC
soon there must come disease. Car
it be otherwise?
I'VE face, perhaps, the most awfu
winter that mankind ever faced"

Brussels Under Wing

Special to The Telegraph

London, Aug. 24.-A dispatch to
the Reuter- Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam says that the special cor
respondent of the Nieuwe Rotter-
damsche Courant is responsible for
the following statement:
The American Minister to Bel
GUM, Brand Whitlock, was present at
a conversation between the Brussels
burgomaster M. Max. and the Ger
man military commander, relative to
the surrender of the city The con-
versation took place at o'clock
Thursday morning. The American
Minister proposed taking Brussels un-
der American protection"
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram
Company from Ypres, Belgium, says:
The burgomaster met the invaders
at the national rifle range, on the edge
of Brussels. He was accompanied by
the American Minister, who, accord
ing to reports, informed the German
commander that he had been in
structed by his government to COM
municate to him that the United
States had taken the city of Brussels
under its protection, with the view to
observing whether all the laws of war
had been respected"
Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-Act-
ing Secretary of State Lansing yes
terday laughed at the story that Min
lister Brand Whitlock had suggested to
the combatants at Brussels that that
city had been placed under American
protection. Mr.. Lansing declared
that the State Department had had
no communication with Mr.. Whitlock
for several days. and denied that this
government had any intention of taxi
ing Brussels under its protection.

says he is the life of the party.
Home is the only place where folks
speak the truth, which is good for
our souls, but most unpleasant, When
my mother buys a hat the lady in the
store says that she looks Perfectly
Lovely in 1t, and all her friends say
that it is Terrible Stylish, but when
she brings it home all the folks tells
her that she looks like a scare crow
in it, and that 1t is about seventeen
years too young for her.
And when my papa talks away from
home people slisten to him most re-
spectful when he tells how he could
fight Mexico with one hand tied be-
hind him and lick 'em all inside of a
week, but when he talks that way at
home my mother says, "Oh, piffle,
you would run from a Chile Con
Carne. for you hid under the bed that
time we thought there was a burglar
in the house"
If we did not have homes we should
never know how many faults we have,
for 1t is only when l am home that
anybody tells me to quit sniffling,
and eat with my fork, and not to
stand pigeon-toed, and for goodness
sake not to talk so much.
When we have company my mother
always sings a song that says there's
no place like home" and most of us
are glad there amt.
We should all be evry thankful for
the blessing of having a home where
we are taught what poor, miserable
worms of the dust we are. 1t is be-
cause so many unfortunate people
have not had the blessings of a home
that they go around full of conceit,
and pride, and vain glory, and good
times.
Oh, how we should all love our
homes! And the farther we get away
from them the more we love them.

GERMANY'S LONG LINE
OF COAST DEFENSE
Not Only Affords Protection But
Provides Base for
AttnpIx


Provides Base for
Attack
Military experts say that the Ger
man coast defense is better equipped
than that of any other country in
Europe. There are about 200 miles of
coast line on the North Sea and some
thing like 500 miles on the Baltic Sea.
The great range of German batteries
and the broken inshore of the North
Sea will help Germany to prevent any
great onslaught from that source.
Along the coast line of the Baltic Sea
are German batteries of great strength
and range, and these fortifications will
doubtless prevent any enemy from
making much headway.
