"On September Il, before the begin

General Joffre gave instructions to the
French officers to tell the men that the
intention was to drive the Germans
from French soil, and that this would
influence nations hitherto neutral to
enter the war with the Entente Pow
ers.
General Joffre then told about the
exceptionally favorable conditions for
the attack. Territorials were to be
used in the trenches, thus freeing the
younger men for the assault. The
landing Of British troops enabled the
commanderin-chief TO hold several
armies ready for the attack. The mum.

petrograd. Oct. 5.-The decision to
conyoke the Duma on Friday is de-
feat for Premier Goremykin and the
bureaucratic circles, for it was their
influence which prorogued the Duma
three weeks ago.
The voice Of the nation seemed
stiaed until Moscow, as always in Rus
sian history, came 20 the rescue.
When the Duma was prorogued
conference was being held in Moscow
of unions of the Zemstvos to consider
rho mobilization of commerce and In
dustry for war purposes, also methods
of organization for the Red Cross. I'm

send a delegation to the Car 10 ask

gates appointed were Prince Luof' or
ganizer of the Russian Red Cross IN
the japanese and the present war; ana
NJ Chelnokoff, Moscow's Mayor, who
voices the opinion of the wealthy in
dustrial middle classes.
Premier Goremykin was annoyed
that the deputation went direct to the
Gar 4 Cabinet meeting was called
Immediately. Evidently the delegates
carried the day, because the announce,
ment was made that the Dums would
meet on Friday, FIVE weeks before the
time scheduled.
The public considers this a great
victorv over the reactionary bureau
cracy and of great value to the cause

French Land.
LB1 C.ble % IN. Tribuns.

London, Oct. o.-lhe resignation
of Premier Venizelos of Greece to-
day added almost a final twist to the
already nearly hopeless Balkan
tangle precipitated by Bulgarian
mobilization.
Fresh from triumph in the Greek
Chamber, where, after encountering
the most desperate resistance of his
whole career, the Premier had re-
ceived a vote of confidence that vir-
tually assured the entry Of Greece
into the war on the side Of the
Allies, Venizelos was informed, &C
cording to a Havas dispatch, that
the King was no longer able to sup
port his ministry.
For the second time King Constan-
tine has thus been able to render
effective aid to his brother-in- n-law,
the Kaiser.
Premier Venizelos, the report says,
at once resigned.
Although the news was received
here very late tonight there was
no mistaking the CONSERVATION it
created in every quarter. The whole
Allied position in the Balkans is
thus in immediate peril. For, while
many are inclined to discount the
Premier's move, as being similar to
the dramatic eleventh-hour act of
Premier Salandra, preceding Italy's
declaration, it may have other
meanings not so pleasing.
Thus, it may mean, it is pointed
out, that Greece has abandoned her
treaty of defence with Serbia, and,
with Rumania, left her former ally
to be crushed between the Bulgarians
and the Germans, unless the Allies
are able to forestall them.

Such move would at once cut off

railroad from Salonica, which is one

Some consolation, however, is found

are to be rushed at once TO guard the

Calvin Cornelius Johnson, was
born Feb. 18th 1910, in Giles coun-

1915 He came to this state in 1852,
with his parents who settled where
Harrison now stands. He was con-
verted to the religious life at the age
OF 10, and thus lived for over 60
years in the service of God, He lived
in the higher relms of religion and
thought. He made the Bible his
study for over 40 years. 1t has been
grand to see him live the Christian
life in the presence Of a tempting
world, but it was grander indeed
TO see him overcome his last foe with
smiles, and Hallelujahs, His last
quotation from the Bible was; Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, Meth
er has it entered into the heart Of
man, the things that God hath pre-
pared for them that love him His
last request was for his children to
look after their mother well. He
was married TO Sarah A. Logan,
Ian. %, 1860, and to this union was
born 6 children: three of whom have
preceded him to that better land,
Deceased was a deputy sheriff of
Carroll county, ere Boone county
was formed, and was the hrst sheriff
Of Boone county; and one Of the ear
" settlers of this county. His
health has been declining for the
past two years, of old age He suf
fered no pain; due to a temperate life.
The fountains of gratitude in the
hearts Of his family have Just cause
to gush forth, in response to the
many acts of kindness shown him,
and them; during his sickness and
departure.
He was an ordained minister and
in that capacity has brought about
a great deal Of good in this section,
