Elaine now decided to go home.
From his closed car, the Clutching
Hand gazed intently at the Dodge
house. He could see Dan on the lad
der, now washing the library window,
his back toward him.
Dan turned slowly and made the
sign of the hand. Turning to his
chauffeur, the master criminal spoke
a few hurried words in low tone and
the driver hurried of.
A few minutes later the driver
might have been seen entering a near
by drug store and going into the tele-
phone booth. Without moments
hesitation he called upon the Dodge
house. and Marie, Elaine's maid, an

Marie went toward the library, 1eav-

was washing the windows, half in

though it was apparent that he was
watching Dan closely. ...

The butler responded slowly, with a
covert glance at Dan. ..... 49,.
No sooner had they gone, however,
than Dan climbed all the way into the
room, ran to the door and looked after
them. Then he ran to the window.
Across and down the street, the
Clutching Hand was gazing at the
house. He had seen Dan disappear
and suspected that the time had come.
Sure enough, there was the sign of
the hand. He hastily got out of the
car and hurried up the street. All
this time the chauffeur was keeping
Jennings busy over the telephone with
some trumped-up story.

Dan was on guard, listening down the

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. 10.-Special: The
transfer of Grand Duke Nicholas to
the Caucasus and the assumption by
the Russian emperor of command of
all his land and sea forces has caused
surprise among the allied nations.
but the opinion Is expressed that the
emperor is merely following Russian
traditions, and that the Russian
troops will give a better account of
themselves in the knowledge that
the little father is personally di-
recting their efforts.
Hard lighting is in progress along
the eastern front and on the western
line in France; Germany has made
another, air raid on the eastern towns
of England and has also attacked the
London district with aircraft, loss of
life and material damage resulting
and latest reports from the near east
state that heavy fighting has been go
ing on in Gallipoli. the troops on land
being assisted by the feet.
1t was the torpedo of a German
submarine that sent the White Star
steamer Arabic to her doom, south

the loss of thirty-nine lives. among
them two Americans.
The commander of the underwater
boat responsible for the disaster has
made a belated return to his base and
so reported. In e~xtenuation of his
act in ordering the liner fired upon,
the commander declares that while
the submarine was sinking a freight
err, probably the British steamer Dun
sley, the Arabic swung around and
headed toward the scene as If to at
tack or ram the submarine, and that
he fired In self defense.
Germany also has spoken officially
concerning the recent sinking of the
Allan line steamer Hesperian. In a
message to Ambassador Won Bern
storff, the German foreign office says
that, according to information avail
able in Berlin. il appears improbable
that the Hesperian was torpedoed and
that ii is much more likely the boat
a On a mine.
The Washington government, how
ever is still awaiting Germany's
statement to the United States con-
corning the incident.
The German government, in a note
to the United States, has acknowl-
edged that the White Star steamer
Arabic was sunk by a German sub
marine. The note, however, declares
that self defense was the motive of
the commander of the underwater
boat. Regret is expressed that Amer
lean lives were lost in the disaster.
and the offer is made to submit
questions Of reparation and compen-
sation to The Hague for adjustment.

LARGE CROWD VIEWED THE
COUNTY FAIR YESTERDAY.

There was a largely increased at
tendance at the county fair yester-
day, there being more than three
times as many spectators present as
were in attendance on the first day.
The crowd was pleased with the
exhibition. Floral hall was an at
tractive place and was ~thronged with
ladies all day. The display of Gull
nary articles is fine. larger than at
previous fairs, exhibitors having a
large array of canned fruits and 9TH
err articles in this line. Owing to the
unfavorable season the display of
fresh fruits is deficient, and there is
also a lack of corn, but otherwise the
exhibits are greater than at any pre-
vious fair. Sec'y Schmidt had spent
many weeks soliciting exhibits and
other attractions for the fair and he
is to be congratulated upon his sue
cess. The judges were busy yester-
day awarding premiums and the
work was continued today.

ture of the afternoon program. re-
