More Days of the August Blanket Sale
Hearst NO,U Certain
Roosevelt Is Sage
and Wood a Hero

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Preten-
tons that the so-called reprimand by
Secy Of War Garrison may have a Sc
rious effect upon the military career
of Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, especial
ly should the American forces be call
ed into the field. are being spread
broadcast by enemies of the admins
tratiOn.
That Gen. Wood has been thus pub
licly "rebukeG" by Sec'y Garrison has
made of the general a perfect hero
and of the Sec etary a base villain.
William Randc lph Hearst's newspa-
pers are particularly certain that such
is their proper distinctions and that
Roosevelt is a sage.
Sec'y Garrison declares, however,
that so far as the department is con-
cerned, the incident is closed This
was after he had received from Gen.
Wood the following reply to the tele-
gram of reprimand:
your telegram received and policy
laid down will be rigidly adhered to-"
The secretary made public a short
statement in reply to the comment
made by Col. Roosevelt last night, but
beyond this would say nothing. The
statement reads:
Il have just read Mr. Roosevelt's
statement. l see he blames the whole
thing on me. He takes the position
that it is notorious that he has the
habit of making indiscreet speeches
and that it, therefore, was my duty
10 find out if he intended to go TO
Pittsburgh and if so to head him off
and save him from himself
Well maybe that is so. But it's
rather large order. He is "A rather
active man and I'm a very busy one
and it's going to be a pretty job for
me TO keep an eye on him all the
time. The cOlonePs attitude about
himself reminds me of the story OF
the Maine farmer who was on his
way TO the railroad station one morn
ing when he met a friend:
Where are you goin'?' the friend
asked.
I'm going down to Bangor to git
drunk and great Lord, how 1 do
dread it, was the reply"

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Aug. Is
Theodore Roosevelt may go to Eu
rope TO fight the Germans at the eX-
pense Of several Milwaukeeans if he
chooses to accept an offer made by
Charles Mechel in a letter sent to the

terie Of local men who have sub

der you this amount to defray your
expenses to enable you to join the
Canadians who are going to France

Mechel is not at all confident that
Roosevelt will accept his offer.

breaches at Salvation Army
Tent Services.

subject Friday evening of c. +. Taylor
of the Moody Institute of Chicago at

AMERICAN PAPERS
PRINT THE TRUTH
EngIiShmen Are Advised to
Read U. S. Newspapers For
Details on War.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Austin Harri-
son advises Englishmen to read
American newspapers if they would
understand the war and learn the
truth about it, Writing in the
STANDARD" he says the articles of
American army correspondents are
very frank" often indiscreet. He
continues:
LAS usual with Americans, the hui
man story counts first-that part
which we have 50 unfortunately ne
elected. The entire military. diplo-
matte, and economic position of the
combatants is discussed quite openly.
In a word, people here who don't
read American newspapers can know
little about the war. For example
Antwerp We knew nothing at the
time. the American papers were full
Of detailed information; what Mr.
Churchill said there, the whole story
in short 1t has been so all along.
Many of the stupendOus Russian bat
ties have been described with wealth
of information. About GallipoH the
American papers are extremely can
did. The American press is really the
mirror of the war in a way that no
other press is or can be-"
Mr.. Harrison would also have the
BRUSH READ some German neWSpd-
pers. The British press he says, is
the worst informed in Europe" Con-
trasted with the Berlin organs, he
/ calls the London newspapers 'muz-
zlod," and declares that mo civilian
who does not read the German serious
newspapers can obtain just perspect-
i've.
He adds:
THE German serious papers often
have reasoned and highed technical
military articles of great value writ
ten with the cold Objectivity OF the
soldier. Thus l have seen 1t stated
that the Canadians were the Kern
truppen, finest fighting material In
Europe. 1 have read high praise of
Gen. Foch. with long accounts of his
section tactics.
About the Turkish peninsula, the
German papers have been a mine of
information. And about the eastern
side ] should know nothing were il
not from careful study Of the Ger
man and Swiss papers. and from the
Intimate acquaintance / have of many
Of the writer's, as the result Of my
long residence in Germany"
Perhaps the most reliable source
of information of all in London is
gossip, Mr.. Harrison concludes.

JNO. MARKHAM
DIES AGED rs
Aged Veteran, Long Lost Broth.
er of |. c. Railroad
President.

John T. Markham, the old Con-
federate veteran whose home was in
this county for many years, died last
Monday in New Orleans.
Mr.. Markham was discovered four
years ago by his younger brother.
President Chas. H. Markham, of the
Illinois Central Railroad Co., after a
separation of As years. The old man
was then in need of the assistance
his prosperous brother at once
fastened to give him and his last
days were spent in ease and plenty.
He was injured by fall at Prince.
ton last winter and never fully re.
gained his strength. He had been
i'll for six weeks in a hospital at New
Orleans. His brother went to that
city in his private car and took the
old veterans body to Athens, Penn,
for interment.
He was born June 20, 1899, in
County Claire, Ireland. The family
came to America when he was still q
lad and located at GAINESVILLE
Charles, the present president of the
big railroad system. was born in
GAINESVILLE in 1861, and just before
John enlisted in the Confederate
army as member of Co. D., 9th
Tenn. Infantry, under General Tighl'
man. He was captured at Fort
Donelson and was IN prison at Camp
Douglas, at Chicago. for sever
months, being released from there
in September, 1852. He was parolec
on May 10, 1865.
Returning to GAINESVILLE at the
close of the war he found that hi
father had died and his mother anC
the rest of the family had moved
away, his mother having married
again. He lost all trace of them anC
had never regained it until March
1911. When his brother became
president of the Illinois Central and
the newspapers were having so much
to say about him. the idea occurred
to some of his friends that this nigh,
be the long lost baby brother. Final
ly Mr.. Markham was prevailed upon
to make an investigation and over
the long distance telephone the re,
lationship was established in very
few minutes.
He had been we'll cared for since
that time, but had stayed here AND
in neighboring towns, among his
old friends. most of the time.

SHOOTS SELF
WITH PISTOL
John M. Harris, of Pembroke,
Seeks To End His Life
Yesterday.

John M. Harris, prominent gro
Ger, of Pembroke, head of the firm
of ]. M. Harris & Son, shot himself
early yesterday morning, with sui
cidal intent. He arose early and
dressed himself and taking a pistol
went into the hall of his residence at
about $50 o'clock and shot himself
in the left breast. The ball went
above his heart and the wound was
not Immediately fatal. One of his
sons hearing the shot rushed to him
and took the pistol from him, al
though he protested that he wanted
to shoot himself again.
Mr.. Harris has long been a promi-
nent citizen of Pembroke. He is
about 80 years of age and his family
consists of three grown sons and a
young wife, formerly Miss Annie
Smithson, of this city. to whom he
was married last summer. Mrs.
Harris is daughter of Mr.. d. F.
Smithson, of this city,
/ Mr.. Harris owns valuable real es.
tate and his store was one of the
principal business houses of the
town.
Dependency over business condi-
tons is the supposed cause.
The injured man received prompt
surgical attention and was still alive
at last accounts, but with but slight
chances of recovery. rs
| He is a member of the Baptis
church and a good man and a usefu
citizen.
. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Harris
pulse was almost gone and he W;
unconscious. His recovery was cor
sidered impossible.

interest.
