Boy Is Hurt On Way to Parade
Twelveyear-old Roy Albrecht, 1880
fancy street, is lying on white bed
in Mercy hospital. Roy climbed on his
bicycle yesterday morning and started
down town to see the circus parade.
He reached the corner of Fourth and
Rock Island streets, when he was run
down by an automobile driven by E.
McCravey. The lad was hurled to the
pavement with considerable force, and
aside from bruises about the body, was
badly cut about the head and face. He
was removed to Mercy hospital in the
police ambulance, without getting a
single peek at the parade. His con-
dition is not serious, according to DR..
Neufeld, the attending physician.

Joke Is Expensive Once. B. Cor
coran, an employe of the Ringing
Bros. circus, picked on" a Davenport
policeman in a crowded street car and
attempted to make the bluecoat feel
cheap, but found the joke was on him
when he was placed behind the bars.
Yesterday morning in police court he
paid a fine of S11.S5. Corcoran board
ed a street car at the corner of Third
and Harrison streets, jumping on the
front platform to avoid paying his
fare. The motorman notified the con-
ductor, and when Corcoran was forced
to pay his nickel, he started for the
front end of the car with the light of
battle in his eyes. Officer Petersen,
who was on the car, Immediately fol-
lowed. Don't start anything here,
warned the officer. who are you?"
asked the circus man. 'By the way,
are you going out to the show grounds
tomorrow "Sure, l am said Peter
son. ''Well, look me up and I'll see to
it that they feed you," this latter re-
mark in all probability being occasion
ed by the fact that Mr.. Peterson is
anything but fat. Corcoran then took
off his hat, threw it on the floor and
ordered the policeman to pick it up or
take q beating. 'I'll take you and the
cap BOTH" said the copper, and he
did.
Robbers Take Final Payment
Esther johnson (colored) bought
pool room in Davenport some time ago,
and was to have made final payment

her bed chamber and stole not only
the $50 but an extra SIS for good luck.
Now the woman fears she may lose the
whole amount and has enlisted the aid
of the police. Mr.. and Mrs. Charley

GERMANS DELAY
. PERILS SUCCESS,
VIEW OF EXPERT
Army and Navy Journal Editor
Says Kaiser's Safety Lies
in Pressing Forward.
POINTS THE FRENCH NEED
Aggressive Movement Wherever Pos
sibIe Is Declared Best STRAIT
eay of Tricolor.
BY ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF TIE
ARMY AND NAVAL JOURNAL.

E New York, Sept. 1.-The Germans
Invasion of France has now reached
point where any delay is dangerous for
them.
They have successfully pushed the
allies back from one position TO anoth-
er, but have not gained the decisive
victory that is so necessary for the
success of their plan of operation. In
spite of large losses, the allies still
hold an unbroken line running from st.
Quentin % miles northwest OF Laon,
eastward to the Meuse river near Mezi-
.eres and then southeast through Yer
dun and Nancy to the Vosges noun
tains near st. Din. Here the line turns
south along the line of the passes to
Belfort and the Swiss border.
= At only one point along the line do
the dispatches show signs of an ag-
eressive movement, so necessary IL the
allies wish to stop the further advance
of the German invasion. This is in the
district east of Nancy. where the
French aggressive is being stubbornly
opposed by the army OF Prince Rup-
precht C Bavaria.
French Aggression Fails
armies have come from their assump-
ton of an active offensive plan of cam
paign and the natural tendency of the
people would lead to an energetic ag-
gressive move. The most significant
feature of the war to date has been not
the overpowering advance of the Ger
mans through Belgium, but the defeat
of the first French aggressive move
into Lorraine.
The dictates OF careful strategy call
for the French to avoid any disaster
TO their armies until the Russians have
had time to push their campaign in
force. The general plan of the French
campaign calls for gradual withdraw
ais after causing as much delay as pos
sible when outnumbered by the Ger
man forces. However, this plan does
not mean a quiet defensive all along
the line, but an aggressive defensive
including advances against the enemy
wherever possible.
Britain Sends More Troops.
The candid statement as made by
the British press bureau today stands
the test of a critical comparison with
news from their sources. It shows that
the British regular army regiments are
not yet all at the front. The British
forces in the fight at Mons and in the
series of rear guard actions during the
fifty-mile retreat to St. Quentin can
hardly have numbered more than 1885,
600. With re-enforcements they may
now number 10000 men. 1t is evil
dent that the full British strength will
not be placed On the firing line before
October.
The line occupied by the allies is
naturally a stronger position than that
of the Germans. The allies are closer
70 their re-enforements and their bases
OF supply. The Germans are getting
further from their bases of supply and
cannot so conveniently move re-en-
sorcing troops from flank to flank.
Germans Are Successful.
