SOUTHERN STATES
TRIBUTE TO OLINCOLN
Delivered BY Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas at Lincoln Day Celebration
at Springfield, ILL.,, on
Thursday.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. l3.--Tribute to
the memory of Abraham Lincoln was
paid yesterday in the name of the south
ern states by Senator Robinson Of Ar
kansas, speaking at the Lincoln day cele-
bration here,
"The South" said the senator, "rever-
emily joins the North in celebrating this
occasion and commissions me to bring
white rose, plucked by the daughter of
"a Confederate soldier from a garden
blooming in the heart of Dixie.
''If Mr.. Lincoln were now alive there
is not home in all the South that
would not give him joyous welcome.
The surviving followers of the dauntless
Lee would combine with the scattered
fragments of Grants legion to form his
guard of honor.
Il have said the South unanimously
honors the memory of Lincoln because
OF his generosity and magnanimity in
the hour of its desolation. There is yet
another greater reason. Emancipation
was far more necessary to the section
Immediately afflicted with slavery than
any other. If slavery had continued, it
would have made the poor white mans
condition intolerable. 1t festered an
aristocracy of land owners, excluded the
poor white man from opportunities of
profitable labor and barred to him the
avenues of progress.
Throughout his territory, pre-emi-
nently great men have rarely gathered
in groups. They have usually appeared
as solitary giants towering above the
level of mediocrity, their shadows length
ening with time.
students have consecrated a small
area to the seeds and memories Of the
great of earth, the master spirits of all
ages. How few the figures thereg Abra-
ham Lincoln belong in the select com
pany of the worlds renowned. Centuries
of alternating progress and decline, So
cial upheavals, industrial earthquakes
and political revolutions may pile their
dust about him. They cannot entomb
him. Mankind is his debtor. His deeds
will endure"

GERMANY SENDS TROOPS
 FROM WEST TO EAST

LONDON. Aug. S1.-Dispatches Sat. urday night from Boulogne indicate that the Germans were pushing through Belgium to the channel coast of France.
 Train service between Paris and Boulagne was stopped. and the latter city was prepared to be captured, the garrison having been withdrawn.
 Communication between England and France was to be shifted from Boulgne to Havre and Dieppe.
 The almost certain appearance of the Germans only few miles from the English coast is causing great alarm in London.
 It is thought to be Germany's pur- pose to take possession of Dunkirk. Calais. Boulgne and other points along the Strait Of Dover and beyond for the purpose of preventing the landing of British troops to aid in Northern France.

UNEQUALLED HERoIsM.

London, Aug. 31.-A dispatch from Amiens says the French are retiring down the valley of the Mouse and the masterly Ger man horde continues to advance. The Germans are winning their victories at terrible sacrifice of life. They have made their way into France by display of skill, bravery and courage as heroic as anything chronicled in the an nals of the history of warfare. They have showed a heroic cUur- age to the point of being wreck less in the loss of life.
 The most desperate fighting took place for the possession of bridges. However, French en- gineers terminated the hand to hand fighting in each instance by blowing up the bridges one after another, as the French troops re- tired southward. Thirty-three bridges were destroyed in this manner.
 Three bridges were blown up by contact mines, and guns hidden on the heights began playing on the German cavalry. It was for a while sheer massacre, but the Germans form ed, and began fighting with tenacity, mounting their quick firers and replying shot for shot.
 When the main German ad- vance came it was raked with a terrific fire, but the Germans with incredible coOlness began erecting pontoon bridges, and, although hundreds died on the banks, they succeeded in their endeavOr, while their artillery searched the hills for hidden gunners, quickly forcing the French to retire.

erltIah Stream Into Eranne.

BERLIN, Aug. S1. - That British troops have been streaming across the English channel into France for a week is information that has been re- ceived by the German war office, and that more are to follow every day is the accepted belief here. It is be- lieyed that Great Britain is working on the theory that the time to defeat the Germans is now when all the re- sources of France in men and mater ial are available for her men who are in the field, and not later after Ger man victories would give them com mand of much French territory and supplies.
