BRITAlN'S CONTINGENT ON THE MEUSE GIVES A GOOD AC- COUNT OF ITSELF IN THE
 FIGHTING IN SOUTH BELGIUM.

London, Aug. 26.--2 a.m.-The Paris correspondent of the Central News sends the following:
 q have been talking with bvother officers from the front who tel of the wonderful coolness and daring of the British soldiers in the fighting around Mons.
 The shooting of the British infan- try on the firing line was wonderful. Every time a Germans head showed above the trench and every time the German infantry attempted to rush position, there came a steady, wither- ing rifle fire from the men lying in extended formation along the wide battle front. Their firing was the calm and careful marksmanship of men one sees in English rifle ranges.
 When quick action was necessary, the men showed no nervousness; they

 eff the British lost heavily ths Ger mans must have lost terribly. One of the German prisoners said: We never had expected anything like 1t; it was staggering
 "The British troops went to their positions happily. There were va~f- GUS sallies of humor in the dialects of the English Irish and Scotch coun- tries. The cockney was there with quips about 'Uncie Bill and every lrishman who went into the firing line wished he had money to buy a little Irish horse so that he might take a slap at the Uhlands.'
 As for the cavalry. the officers da- clare, their charges against the Ger mans were superb. They charged as berserks might have done. They gave the Uhlans the surprise of their lives.
 With the close of the first series Of combats between the British and Germans, the scene Of interest shifted
 
 the injured British soldiers were. being taken. The handling of the wounded was all that could be de- sired; everything was perfectly organ ized and without theatrical display.
 The station at the time was crowded with Americans who were on their way to England from Swftzer- land. The Americans joined with the French in cheering for the first ar rivals of British wounded from tha scene of the fighting. While the crowd waited train after train roS>d by carrying fresh British troops to the front.
 "I witnessed notable scene on the road between Boulogne and Paris. Two English cardinals, Cardinal Bourne, Archbishop of Westminster. and Cardinal Gasquet. abbot president of the English benedlctines, were on their way from London to the con clave at Rome. Their train stopped on a siding and by a curious chance a regiment of British troops which included in it's ranks a large body cf Irish Catholics. was drawn up along side for a moment. The cardinals leaned out of the window and gave the soldiers their blessing, which tas CathoIic soldiers by spontaneous inn pulse knelt to receive"

water point of the last twenty-three
months. The bulk of the increase In De-
cember as compared with November, was
furnished by Manhattan Borough. All
the other boroughs gained, and the ex-
pansion shown may possibly be indicative
OF the fact that the starved condition In
money matters as regards the building
trade shows signs OF yielding.

shown by reports to Bradstreets, was
SCI. Oe6. 254. as against only $46.S12s 66 in No

THE INTERMEDIATE COURT.

The Republican candidates for tlfe
House of Delegates and the Senate
are pledged to abolish the Intermedt-
ate court OF Marion county If they
are elected.
This is very important to the tax
payers since this is loss to them OF
the $4,000 salary paid TO the Judge
of this court, as such court is now
unnecessary,
When Marion, Monongalia and
Harrison counties were all In one
court circuit, and even after the dis
trict was reduced to include both
Monongalia and Marion counties,
there was some excuse for this extra
court, but there is none now since
the circuit Judge of this county has
only one court to look after.
We are making no complaint
against Judge Vincent. We do not
blame him for getting that salary II

in the county better qualified to fill
