Secretary Bryan has pointed out
how useless it is for Democrats to
say that they approve of everything
President Wilson has done unless
they translate their words into deeds
by voting for the democratic nomi-
j(lees for the Senate and for Congress
in November. The man who pre-
tends to be an admirer of the Presi-
dent and supporter of his policies
and then for any reason refuses to
give him the votes he needs in Con-
gress to pass his bills, reflects on his
own intelligence and sincerity. The
President has many broad plans to
improve conditions everywhere and
bring prosperity to the people. II
the country gives him Republican
House or Senate these laws will new
er be enacted and the President will
sit idly in the White House helpless
with his hands tied. Put your stamp
under the Democratic Rooster on the
Bird of November and you viii do
more to comfort and hearten Presi'
dent Wilson than by any other act
that you can perform.

$1,400 BURIED
For Perhaps Fifty Years Found
Last Saturday.

Just before her death Mrs. Tom
Franklin. of near Hematite, in the
western part Of this county, last Sat
urday told of over 81 400 in money
which she had buried, and upon in
vestigation the money was found to
be just as Mrs. franklin had said.
Mrs. Franklin vas about seventy
five years of age and was born and
had always lived in that section Of
the county. 1t was known by most
everyone that she had some money,
but no one knew anything about
where it was, but just before her
death she told some of the members
of her family that they would find
this money, over Sl400 in all, buried
in the old well house. There was
about 81 900 in greenbacks, nearly
$500 in silver and about $50 in gold.
1t was buried in a box and was in
very good state of preservation. 1t
is thought that this money had been
buried there since the Civil War,
over fifty years ago.
Mrs. Franklin was a highly-re-
spected old lady. and is only survived
by one daughter, Mrs. King Bird
song, of that section of the county.
She was also the grandmother of
Mrs. Lucy Sanders, of this place.
and is also survived by quite lot of
other relatives. Her remains were
buried in the old Franklin grave
yard near where she died and had al.
ways ived.-Cadiz Record.

the full Democratic vote. Senator
James is power on the stump and
the Speakers Bureau has hundreds
of requests for him to come into the

Philadelphia North American.)
There are those who would have
given no small sum to have been
within hearing distance while Presi-
dent Wilson and Col. George Harvey
were conversing in the White House.
Mutual friends used to say that 1t
was as good asa play to watch the
flashes that sprang from a crossing
of those two keenest of minds over a
luncheon table.
Official etiquette forbids divulg-
ence of presidential conversations,
but friend of a prominent inmate OF
the White House says that little
bird told him that Mark Twain's
name came up in some connection,
and that Col. Harvey remarked cas-
ually that there still live persons who
had never heard of the great humor-
ist. The President found TINS al
ynost incredible.
"Oh. yes" the Colonel continued,
"Only yesterday, here in Washing
ton. met such one. He was an
officeseeker. He declared positively
he had never heard of Mark Twain.
! asked him about Tom Sawyer. No.
he had never heard Of him either.
Nor Huck Finn? No. never. Nor
Pudd 'nhead Wilson? oh. Lord,
yes he calculated; Il voted for
him."
And the Presidents roar of de-
light did not diminish in the least
when the colonel continued. softly.

STUBBORN
CONFLICT
UNDECIDED
Fierce Attacks Continue in West
Belgium and Along Battle
Line.
BOTH CLAIM ADVANTAGES
British Fleet Proving Import
ant Factor in Battles
Raging.

London, Oct. 23.-Desperate fight
ing continued yesterday in West
Flanders and Northern France be-
tween Germany's armies, reinforced
by virtually all her forces in the &C.
cupied portions of Belgium, and the
French, British and Belgian troops,
aided by British warships.
Along the coast the User river still
divides the contending forces. Meth
er side, apparently, has advanced but
in the interior, according to a Ger
man report issued tonight, the allies
are retiring from several important
positions.
This statement of the Germans is
contradicted, however, by the French
communication issued in Paris late
| to-day, which says the allies have not
been moved, despite several attacks.
All along the front from the North
Sea to the Swiss border, in fact, each
side claims to have repulsed the 9TH
er, or to have made slight progress
at various points.
The contending armies seemingly
are SO nearly equal in strength that
neither can force the other back,
pierce the front or get around the
wings.
In Poland, the preliminary battle
at least, has moved a little more
swiftly. The Russians report that
they have driven back the first Ger.
man offensive move against Warsaw,
the Polish capital, and the fortress
Of lvangorod. All the Russian &C.
counts refer to this as a great victo-
~.
They declare the Germans, besides
losing many prisoners and guns, have
| left large quantities of ammunition
and provisions in the trenches they
had prepared for their defense.
Apparently there has been more
fighting on the East Prussian from
tier, where the situation has been
quiet for some time, as the German
( report says: Our troops are pursu-
ing the retreating enemy in the d.
rection Of OssowetZ.
The battle around Przemysl and
south Of that city is going on, but
( farther south the Austrians claim
they have cleared the Russians out
Of Hungary and are advancing to-
ward Bukovina, a crown land in
Eastern Galicia, with the same OBJ
jeet in view.
As though the Belgians already
had not suffered sufficiently from the
war. villages along the coast north
of Ostend are suffering severely from
shell fire. Lying, as they do, be-
tween the German lines and the Brit
ish warships off the beach, some are
reported wiped out and others badly
damaged. 1t is believed, however,
that virtually all the inhabitants fled
when the Belgian army retired be-
hind the User river.

following the crop failure in Northern
Japan. where 100000 persons are
starving, the Imperial Government
faces the most appalling national
problem of modern ages.
While the Foreign Office estimates
the loss of life in the eruption of the
volcano Sakura lima at 800, private
kilograms from the south indicate
that the final death list will run into
the thousands. Hundreds were also
hurt in flight, many of them fatally.
The Government is holding more
warships in readiness for relief work
at Kagoshima, while the War Office
has detailed 1000 soldiers to similar
duty If their services are needed.
The Japanese Government may be
forced to appeal to the outside world
for financial aid. as it is estimated
that s25,000.000 at least will be need

ter in the north and south.
