the French position.
A brisk fight ensued in the course
of which the French artillery decimat-
ed the German troops. At the end of
the fighting the French occupied both
banks of the river.
From Paris came an official note
issued by the war office confirming the
report of a battle at Dinant. 1t says:
"A division of German cavalry sup
ported by some battalions of infantry
attacked Dinant today. The French
cavalry repulsed the German troops,
who retired in disorder.
THE French troops captured some
hundreds of German cavalry horses,
which were Immediately sent to the
rear to serve as remounts for the
French cavalry.
THE high spirits of the French
troops greatly encouraged the Bel
gians."
Stop Move on Brussels.
\ Brussels dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company says:
mo German movement is reported
toward Brussels, and there does not
seem to be further fear of such ad-
vance. The German tactics appear to
have been badly disorganized by the
resistance of the Liege forts, which
are still perfectly intact and are re-
sisting courageously.
Since Friday the advance of the
French has been hastened and has be-
come very determined with the result
that the French victory at Dinant Will
prove important.
The Belgian army is strongly en-
trenched to the north, and the German
attack on Haelen and Diest has been
broken up. It is therefore safe to con-
clude that the position of the allies is
excellent. Every day that has passed
has strengthened their chance of final
victory"

this offensive movement was checked

Germans Complain of Natives.
Berlin, via London, Aug. 1.-THE
northward advance of the Austro-Hun-
garian armies continues both along
the right and left banks of the River
Vistula, forming the boundary be-
tween Austrian Galicia and Russian
Poland.
The Wolff bureau, the semi-officiai
news agency of Germany, circulated
the following note:
"The conduct of the Russians in
those places taken by us appears, like
the conduct of the Belgian population
toward the German troops, contrary to
the law of nations.
Last night shots were fired on Ger
man troops from an ambush at Kalisz,
in Russian Poland. Two soldiers were
killed and 90 or 80 wounded.
1T seems undoubted that the attack
was delivered by nonmilitary inhabi-
tants OF the place. and it is suspected
that these bands are connected with
the government.
"As In France and Belgium, the
German troops will act drastically in
order to suppress these attacks"

LARGE BALD PATCH ON HEAD

Longmont, Colo.-"About one year

dandruff- Her beautiful hair got dry

rounded with an angry red ring. They
finally began running. They itched
and she never rested at night.
1T was pronounced a bad case of

ject nit by a window and opened the
window to investigate. AS he poked
his head out he saw a fairly large.
sized monkey chattering and scolding
from the next window sill. Down be.
low a crowd had gathered, attracted
by the unusual sight, and among the
most interested was a hatless mes.
senger boy. His interest was explained
by the fact that the monkey held his
hat In its paws and seemed about to
tear 1t up. number plate, and all.
Run along. sonny. and deliver your
message" said a stout man, who was
among the watchers. 'Ill stay till the
monkey is caught and keep your cap
for you"
Oats all right" said the messenger,
but de message Is In me cap"
The monkey ran from window to
window trying to evade the volunteers
who rapidly organized pursuit and
finally captured 1t. It's collar bore the
name OF William H. Benjamin of Sc
Pine street. Over the telephone Mr..
Benjamin said he bought the animal
from South American sailor recently.
and 1t had escaped by christening its
chain in his Office before he could take
1t to his home at Morristown. N. ]. Mr..
Benjamin called at the hall Of records
later and got his monkey.

Great Painters Love Story.

where about the year 1897, while the
great painter was still at school at
Margate. he fell deeply In love with
the sister of one OF his schoolfellows.
The intimacy grew and continued. and
a few days later Turner proposed and
was accepted. Then he went away for
couple of years to pursue his art
studies. and during that time not
message or a letter came from him
The young lady was hurt and offeuded
at such cruel treatment, and under the
smart of neglect and pressure from an
unkind stepmother she accepted an.
other sutton. Within a week OF the
day fixed for the wedding Turner re-,
turned. He obtained an interview
and pleaded his cause passionately,
but the girl refused to list an 10 any
explanation.

Points Of Interest.
1t goes without saying that a trip to
Mare island is worth while. Here can
be seen all that Is part and parcel of
we'll appointed government plant;
whether 1t be In manaR ement or
whether 1t pertains to development in
ways scientific.
Two interesting departments OF the
navy yard are the wireless station and
the new powerhouse This wireless
station is the most important on the
Pacific coast and naturally has the
latest appliances OF wireless telegra-
ply. The new powerhouse Is we'll
worth seeing, for here is concentrated
the Drawn and muscle OF the navy
yard, as nearly all the work done on
the island Is with the aid OF electrici-
ty.
To the uninitiated, workshops are
most interesting; for In these one may
follow the building finishing and arm
Ing Of ship from the time the blue
print leaves the draftsman's hands
until the finished gunboat, submarine
or cruiser is ready for her compile
ment OF sailors. In the island park,
twice a week the naval band plays
national airs, excerpts from the operas
and popular music. IKE residences In
various parts Of the island are a de-
light to the eye because of their we'll
kept gardens and the romantic tone OF
some Of the old homes or the neatly
built structures Of a later date.
Here, too, among the tall cypress of
the park are interesting relics Of naval
history, such as the forward gun of
the Kearsarge that sank the Alabama.
January 10. 1884; the sternpost of the
Hartford, that grand old flagship II
Admiral Farragut; the figure head of
the Independence and the battered,
twisted propeller Of the u s. 8. Nip
sic that was wrecked with the good
ship Vandalia at the time of the great
hurricane and tidal wave at Apia,
Samoa, In 1889. Another relic worth
seeing is the old Spanish ONCE build
ing around which linger memories of
many a naval hero. In the building
is museum where one may find
among the archives OF the island much
data that are Interesting. Court-mar-
ral sessions are held in the building
and II the walls could speak they
might tell many a tale.
Mare island Is Utopia for those who
love the simple life and for those who
wish to separate themselves from the
bizarre and blare Of the metropolis.
After the working hours. when trip
hammer. whistle and bell have ceased
the island is enveloped with quietude
made more enjoyable In contrast with
the din of the day.
