By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NISH. via Rome, Aug. S1.-A real
invasion of Austria in force is
planned by the Servian general staff.
The entire Servian army, with the
exception of the small force required
to hold the roads toward the tenn
porary capital is being massed along
the Drina and will cross into Bosnia
between Loznitza and Svornik.
Assurances that the Bosnians will
rise and rally to the support of the
Servians once they are well within
the borders. have been received. The
racial hatred of the Bosnians against
the Austrians has been famed by Ser
Wan agents who have been spread
ing the doctrine of rebellion through
out the country and high Servian Of
ficials insist that general revolution
is certain. This will make it possi-
BILE for the Servians to push right on
through the province without detach-
ing heavy columns of troops to guard
the lines of communication.

Balkans Will FIGHT
IF TURKEY joins war
By the United Press.

SOFIA, Aug. sl.-Reports from Con-
stantinople that efforts are being made
by the German diplomatic representa-
tives there to get Turkey to take an
active part in the European war as an
ally Of Germany and Austria, have ere
ated a sensation here. Il is stated Off
cially that the Bulgarian government is
now pledged 60 join with Greece, Rou-
mania, Servia and Montenegro as allies
of Russia and against Turkey should the
latter decide TO fight.
The Bulgarian army is semi-mobilized
and could be put in the field at once.
That the Turkish menace is real is
shown by messages received here direct
from Constantinople which say the
Turkish army and navy are ready for
action and that most of the Turkish
warships now have strong contingcnts of
German sailors and officers ON board to
aid in fighting them.

TODAY s MOVES
IN THE WAR ZONE,
WHAT They MEAN
BY J. w. r. MASON,
Former European Manager Of The
United Press.

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.-11 a. m)-|
The Germans are holding fast TO their
original plan of campaign of reaching
Paris by thanking from the west the
long French line of fortiications run
ming southeast from La Fere.
The present position of the Ger
mans is curiously similar on a larger
scale to the conditions they overcame
at Namur. In Belgium, Namur was
the apex of an angle formed by the
Meuse and Sambre rivers. In the
same way Amiens is at the apex Of
an agile formed by the Somme and
Avre rivers, which now are barring
the German approach to Paris.
Amiens, however, is not fortified, al
though it is the headquarters Of the
second army corps, commanded by
General Picquart of Dreyfus' case
! fame.
The fortifcations face the open side
of the Somme-Avre angle, beginning

the opposite direction through Laon
and Rheims. The Germans. are now
aiming to pass through this angle
by three roads, converging on Paris.
The roads run from Amiens, from
Peronne and from st. Quentin, re-
spectively. seventy. eighty and ninety
miles from the capital. The fortifica-
tions of La Fere are 10 miles east of
the Amienne road.
The Germans must cover the
fortress as they did at Namur and pro-
ceed across the two rivers. The must
descend from hills over the Somme
and then after travelling plain of 20
miles between the two miles river
across the Avre by ascending a ser
les of heights. The geographical con-
ditions give warrant for Sir John
French's prediction that the allied
positions are such as to invite Ger
man disaster if decisive battle were
fought.
Germany is showing much skill by
attempting TO drag Turkey into the

Capture OF SAMOA

By The United Press.

By The United Press.
LONDON, Aug. 3l.-The taking OF
German Samoa by the British removes
from the theatre of war possibility
that might later have become serious.
When Japan declared war ON Germany,
the German press in America insisted
that this action was designed so that
she might take not only additional ter
ritory in China, but also German Samoa
which has strategic possibilities when the
safety of the Panama Canal is consid-
cred. That the British government was
determined that there should be no
ground for this position in America is
shown by the announcement that an ex-
pedition, sent from New Zealand, took
over Apia, the capital Of German Samoa,
on Saturday. Apia is twenty miles west
Of Tutiula and Pago Pago, the United
States naval station.

hours after the shooting of John Put
nam, overseer of the poor, Edward
Beardsley is still holding out against
the siege of Sheriff Anderson at a
farm house near Summerdale.
Beardsley is defiant. The sheriff
sent an ultimatum that, unless Boards
ley surrendered by 2:30 o'clock this af-
ernoon, the place would be taken by
storm, and if Beardsley resisted he
would be shot without mercy. LET
them come" Beardsley replied.
The sheriff did not attack because
he did not wish to waste the lives of
any deputies in capturing Beardsley.
He finally said he would order the at.
tack some time tonight.

said President McKenny, in opening
his lecture "The Personality of the
Teacher" at the general exercises this
morning. Standards Of morals and
ethics are acquired by imitation in the
give and take of life. The child gets
his ideals in association with others.
This is the fact, the speaker, stated,
that places the importance on the
teacher of strong personality.
Equipment amounts to only fifteen
per cent and the teachers personality
is eighty-tive per cent. Equipment II
schools is only the book and it's value
depends upon the teacher. So when
you think Of your self in the teaching
profession of a half million strong
and that these are eighty-fve per cent
of the actual value of the school sys"
tenn, you can see the tremendous inn
portance of personality" .
Personality, the speaker said re-
suits in tact and insight, sympathy
and the ability to put one self in the
other fellows place. 1t includes sin.
cerity of purpose, straight forward
ness, dynamic knowledge and a sense
of humor to smooth over the rough
ways.
This personality need not necessar.
lily come by birth, but it can to a large
extent be cultivated, and upon it de.
ponds the success of the teacher or
the person of any other profession or
calling in life.
President McKenny closed with an
expression of appreciation of the de-
lightful week he has spent at the Nor
NAL school and was heartily applauded
by both students, faculty and visitors
for the delightful week his coming has
meant to the locality and the school.
President McKenny will address the
faculty this afternoon at 300, and
leave this evening for his home at

ISOLATION in this state made up of the
owners and managers of large tracts
of farm land. A tendency to break
up these large bodies of land that are
operated as banana farms, has been
shown in recent eyars, but there are
still many such plantations whose ex-
istence in a township or a community
is not regarded as of any special val
ue to such communities or county.
However, these estates are still in ex.
istence and the management of such
farm differs materially from that of
the family farm of 800 acres. Econo-
mics in the operation of such large
farms are being sought, and there is
apparently no near date in the future
when such farms will be broken up
into smaller holdings. An organiza-
ton of such large farm owners and
managers will have business meet
ing at Fargo in the near future to dis
cuss questions that arise in the man
agement of such farms. The tractor
engine, the question of putting on live
stock, the matter of dairying and of
labor will be discussed by such farm
owners. In the meantime the small
farmer and the real estate men are
adding to the value of the big farm
acres, which is probably the chief rea-
son for the large farms continued ex-
istence.
