Mr.. Mohun received his education at
the hands of private tutors. Upon his

it necessary to go to the mountains of
Virginia for his health. Later he went
to Royal Oak, Md, and was hoping to
be able to return to Africa when he
suddenly became worse and died.

POLES WELCOMED
GERMAN INVADERS
Conquerors of Warsaw Greeted
With Tears as Liberators
City unchanged In
Fighting.

Berlin. (via London), Aug. 9.-The

ing to the report forwarded to Berlin
by Kurt Aram, a special correspondent
of the Lokal Anzeiger. T~elegraphing
under date of August s. Aram places
emphasis on the statement that the city
was not evacuated without a conflict.
The forts were protected by barbed
wire, trenches. pitfalls and mines
against infantry attacks. The city is
not mentioned as having beer dam
aged.
The inhabitants of the Polish capital,

streets and welcomed the in marching
troops with every sign of real en-
thusiasm and rejoicing. The streets

peasants who long had been restrained

morning for their farms, driving their
live stock and conveying their house.
hold effects. They greeted the Ger
mans with tears.
The Warsaw correspondent Of the
Berliner Tageblatt confirms the report
that the German troops met with a Joy
Gus reception. The streets, he says,
were filled with Poles, Jews, Germans
and Russians, who waved their hats
joyfully to the German soldiers. Many
of the Inhabitants even We're standing
IN the vicinity of the castle, although
an infantry battle with the Russians
was proceeding to the east of the build
ing.
The street cars were running as
usual, the correspondent said, and al
most all the shops We're opened. Very
little damage had been done in the city
proper. The carthworks about the forts
show the German artillery made many
fair hits.
The correspondent at Ivangorod, of
the Lokal Anzeiger points out the oc-
cupation Of hat fortress in itself is less
important than the fact that it makes
possible an important increase of con-
centric pressure IN the Russian troops
in South Poland. The offensive of the
armies ef Arch Duke Joseph Ferdinand
and Field Marshal o M~ackensen, he
adds, continues ~northward, n the eff
feet on the yet unchanged asst Galician
front Is likely soon to make itself felt.
