Why is it that some people think

A favorite outdoor sport of Cham

Chambers of Commerce are inVar-

And being deeply engrossed in
business they have little interest in

WAR SUMMARY

AS the lines around Paris
tighten and the German forces
draw closer to the French capital
the official statements regarding
the progress of the war grow
brieier and are more and more
lacking in details.
So far as the public is con-
cerned little actually is known as
to how the armies in the field are
faring. Most of the information
made public from official quar-
ters is of a negative character,
as, for instance, the announce
ment of the French war office
that there has been no contact
with the German forces in the
region of Compiegne and Senlis
since Wednesday and that the
situation in the northeast has not
changed.
The two towns are respectively
As miles and 81 miles northeast
of the French capital and they
appear to mark the points near
est Paris to which the German
advance guards have approached.
With the removal of the gov
ernment to Bordeaux ali efforts
around Paris have been directed
to prepare for threatened invest
ment of the capital by the Ger
mans. In addition, the French
authorities have ordered aero
plane patrols to guard against
any further raids by German
aviators. A number of French
aeroplanes are continually flying
in the neighborhood of Paris and
others are kept in readiness to
attack any of the German airmen
who appear in the sky.
The attitude of Turkey is now
awaited with anxiety and a Pc
trograd (St. Petersburg) dispatch
says she is mobilizing on the
Persian border but slowly.
Another list of British casual
ties officially reported at London
numbers casualties at 5,22S, of
which 470 are killed and wounded
and 4,75S are missing. The list
shows a large percentage of Of
ficers.

Much damage was done. The church
(the famous cathedral of Saint Rom
bo ID is in ruins and it's beautiful
stained glass wiz dows and its famous

Fortunately many of the works or
art were saved. The historic religious

Paris Misses AeropIanes.

Paris, Sept. 3.-7:15 p. m.-Paris
was disappointed today because no
German aeroplane flew over the city.
Crowds gathered in the Place de la
Concorde, the Place de la Bourse, the
Place de PEtoile and the Quai des
Tuileries from o'clock in the after
noon until z, to watch for the aero
planes, but none came.
Several French machines patrolled
the sky ready to engage the enemy
Many persons have been astonished
that the French aviators have not
given chase to hostile machines fly
ing over the city. 1t is explained
however, that only a plunging fire is
effective against aeroplanes and that
over a city a machine gun attack
causes risk to more lives from bul
lets that miss the mark than are en-
dangered by bombs.
The plan now is for the French
machines which are on patrol duty
to pursue the German aviators intt
the open country and give battle
there.

ONINOUS SILENCE FROM THE ALLIED ARMIES

staff which was not systematized in
advance was the press department,
v hich is even yet not working
smoothly.
There is no understanding between
the different officers in charge of the
distribution of news and its censor
ship, and one is disposed to admit
dispatches of which the other will
pot hear. The working arrange
ments, too, are so clumsy that un-
necessary delays of many hours are
caused which could have been
avoided.
The enthusiasm Of the people for
the war passes all bounds and con
tinues to increase, if that be possib.e e..
There no longer are any parties. In
times of peace the ruler has often
called the social democrats fellows
without country" together with
less pleasant names. The sale of So
cialist newspapers at the railroad
station news stands long has been
prohibited, but this prohibition now
has been revoked and the Vorwaerts
lies side by side with the semi-official
Lokal Anzeiger and the Cologne Ga
zette. Simplicissimus, the widely
known satirical paper, which sharply
caricatures pretty nearly all existing
state institutions in times of peace,
has suspended publication because it
feels, as it announced, that the pres
ent is no time to caricature internal
affairs; besides, one of its editors is
at the front.
To date the Germans appear ts
have made probably more than 10000
prisoners. OF these ] 900 were taken
at Laearde, 1000 at Muelhausen, 1000
at Liege. 5000 at Stalluponen and
probably more than a thousand 9th
ers in skirmishes on both frontiers,

ment Of British casualties as follows
Killed Eighteen officers, 62 other

Big Battle viii be at Paris.

Paris, Sept. $3.50 p. m.-Paris
today showed its remarkable adap-
ticy to circumstances. Though all il.
lusions to such contingency had
been strictly forbidden in the news
papers that the government woulo
be transferred to Bordeaux was an
open secret several days ago among
Journalists and public officials ana in
military circles.
The public after it's first surprise
is viewing the situation with compos-
ure and tonight there seems to be a
better feeling all around.
Military secrets are being so well
guarded that all reference to the waI
is large y speculation, but it is a reas-
enable supposition that General Jofsra
prefers to accept decisive battle
against the Germans in front of the
forts and the entrenohed camp of
Paris.
The Temps this evening printed
another article in which it predicted
final success for the allies. The .,ews-
papers reasons for its optimism are
contained in the following resume or
the situation as the Temps sees 1t.
"Diminution of pressure by the
enemy on the extreme left of the al
lies line, absolute inactivety in tho
center and Transporting of the Freneh
troops in Lorraine and on the right
bank of the canal which passes a few
miles north of Luneville, in the de-
partment of Muerthe-et-MoseFe
These circumstances are tken by
the Temps as evidence that the
enemy has been hard hit and is suf
fering from losses in men and lack of
supplies.

ficer who arrived here today from
Pierrefitte, 2S miles southeast of Pau.

London, Sept. a. p. m.-The cor

the Austrian wounded have been shot
in the legs and feet. which fact is
attributed to the Russian practice Of
firing from the knee. The Duke Of

his office of coionelin.chief of the

that 1t is unsuitable for a German
duke to be chief of regiment which

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The departure of
Emperor William lin the direction Of
Mayence," (that is as much as the
press was permitted to know or re-
port about iO, may be said to mark
the beginning of this great European
war, so far as Germany is concerned
As in 1870, the more important Of
the emperors advisors went to the
front with him. The party included
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
Secretary of state Won Jagow, War
Minister Won Falkenhayn and other
high government and army officials
The plan of campaign is that
thought out many years ago and
never since departed from-to bend
all energies at the very outset to the
smashing Of Germany's western
neighbor. Russia is to be left to Au
stria until France shall have beel
disposed Of,
No one can come in daily contact
with the officers of the general staff
without being impressed with stheir
confidence in an eventual and ade-
quate victory. There is no boasting,
no disposition to underrate the abil-
ity OF the enemy, but there is a grim
determination to win at any cost.
That this cost will be terrificaily
high is not for a moment doubted, but
the men in charge OF operations are
determined to make any sacrifice no
matter how appalling, to reach their
goal.
The people are inclined to un nr-
rate the size of the task before the
German arms. They are, however,
ready to pay the cost OF victory, how
ever great it may be. The man in
the street. however, will not even ad-
nit that a single German defeat is
possible.
A marked feature of the situation
has been the wonderful manner in
which the German mobilization was
carried out. Everything was pre-
pared in advance. Remarkably
enough, there was not during the
whole period of mobilization a single
question from any person in charge
of any branch Of the work. Not one
instruction had been misunderstood
An illustration of the thorough pre-
paredness of the general staff is The
experience of Americas military at
