What Works Thinks.

Pasadena, Aug. addressing the
Commercial Law League. Senator
Works said today: "The sinking Of
the Lusitania was brutal and unius-
tifiable. The president was justified
in a vigorous, earnest protest against
the crime, which but for our greed in
sending war materials on a passenger
ship would be unanswerable. BY our
own account we made the tragedy pos
sible. The fault lies with the men
growing rich by trade in death in
struments. Their wrong does not jus
tify Germany, but has weakened
Americas demand on Germany"

probably intends to accept Germany's
proposal to submit the Frye case to
The Hague tribunal for the purpose
Of testing the treaty Of 1928 between
America and Prussia. Officials said

be reached upon the point at issue,
on which hinges Germany's claim
against American ships carrying con-

By j. w. T. Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Aug. 1.-The delay in
the fall Of Warsaw is due to the am
bition to capture the Russian field
armies, which is the dominant Ger
man objective If Warsaw was the
sole consideration, or even if it were
one Of several major obiectives, it

Petrograd, Aug. 5.-The battle Is
raging on The outskirts of Warsaw,
where the Russians are making their
last stand 6 miles from the town hall.
The Germans are shelling the last
defenses, but the small Slav force Is
holding firmly, permitting the con-
tinued orderly retreat of the main
armies. The Germans are reported
losing heavily, repeatedly charging
the strong positions in desperate al
tempts to smash the rear guard and
surround the retrsating Slays.
London, Aug 5.-The fall of War
saw I'D been expected for several
days, and consequently will only have
the effect Of making the British peo-
PIE more determined than ever. The
undetermined question IS how success
ful the Russians have been in main
tanning their organization while in re-
treat. The belief is that the Russians
have made mastery retreat and
most OF their army will be sayea,
,hsuah il is 900 early to make this as
aefia statement.
Should the Russian army be saved,
as seems probable, Germany still will
be forced to maintain great force ON
the eastern line, and that line will be
further from the base of supplies than
heretofore, and more difficult to main,
tain.
There is in the voice and words of
the British people today nothing u
verify the German prediction that the
war will end this fall, for the British
are more convinced than ever, judged
by official and unofficial statements,
that the war viii be long drawn out.

Warsaw, ,Poland's Capital, Has Faller

would be now in possession Of the
kaiser.
The capture of Warsaw. while be-
ing one Of the most triumphant Of
fensiyes in history. would be but am
incident The Germans are NO. vast
ing their strength against Warsaw
and permitting the Russian army to
escape at will to prepare ue@ deieuses
to the rear They are planning to
press forward continuously. Ii is high
ly important that tat sIa4 be al-
lowed no time to rorupefate after re.
firing from the Nisua line.
The Germans are more concerned
with placing their forces advantage
ously for following up The Vistula vic
tory than for gaining Warsaw. That
the Russians appreciate this fact is
shown by their appeal for an often
slvc by the allies in the wesl 1t t.
not the hope of the Russians to save
Warsaw, but rather that they must
concentrate this attention on how to
keep the Brest-Litovak line instact.
Brest-Litoysk is a central munition
station. Its loss would be greater
calamity than the fall Of Warsaw. The
Brest-Litovsk line is not as strong as
that along the Vistula. II the Ger
mans capture the latter, the former
will not present irsuperable obstacles.
The present movement would perhaps
be more properly described as a cam
paign for Brest-Litovsk than for War-
saw.
New York. Aug. 5.-A promise from
Greece to assist Servia if Bulgaria
tries to seize Serbian Macedonia is the
first serious indication that Bulgaria
may ioin the Teutons. Bulgaria has
long been on the market for the high
est bidder, but her alternatives were
thought to have been to join the allies
or observe benevolent neutrality to-
ward Germany and Austria.
If the Teutonic victories in the east
have caused Bulgaria to believe Ger
many can win with Bulgarian help and
Greek pledges to aid Serbia would not
be sufficient to compel Sofia to keep
peace. The military revelations Of
the Balkan war Indicate that Bulgaria
would have little difficulty conquer
ing Greece. Greek interference, in
fact, would probably cause Bulgaria
to cease fighting Serbia and cqncen-
trate on Greece whose coast lire pre-
sents more attractive loot. While e0-
gagged with Greece, Bulgaria could
spare a force to assist the Turks on

Berlin, Aug 5.-Warsaw is cap
tured. The war office today officially
announced that the Germans have en-
tered the city. The Russian garrison
offered a brief resistance, then re-
treated over 3 bridges spanning the
Vistula.
The Bavarians under Prince Leo
pold stormed the last line of defenses
and triumphantly entered the city via
the Kolish and Random roads
The Russians are retiring rapidly
through Praga, along the railway to
Novo Minsh and across the plains and
the pursuing German cavalry has cap
tured many stragglers.
Berlin is joyfully delirious. Clang
ing bells announced the news and the
publication Of the official announce
ment was the signal for a scene Of
the gavest rejoicings Evidently the
smashing of the Russians along the
Blonie line caused the hasty abandon
ment Of the city.
Two previous German campaigns
against Warsaw had failed. Won Hin
denbug twice came near the city, but
was forced to withdraw before su-
perior numbers Of Russians.
The German campaign just ended
is one of the biggest in the history
Of warfare. The Russians are still
holding along the Petrograd railway
ard on some sections Of the Narew
river.
East Of Rozen 5000 Russians sur
rendered. Won Buelow captured 2OOO
in the Courland district. Thousands
supposedly have been captured inside

East of the Bug river the German
cavalry are harrassing the Russians

New Road Not
Ready For Traffic

Hon. II. g. Garrett, Railroad
Commissioner for this district,
and fifteen business men of Win
chester, made trip over the
new Wiuchester-Irvine line last
week in order to determine
whether or not the line was in
shapeto handle passenger traffic.
After a thorough inspection it
was unanimously decided that
the condition of the roadbed
would not permit passenger
trains to run over the line in
safety. The trip was made as a
result of complaints filed by
Winchester business men against
the railroad, aud Commissioner
Garrett said he would leave the
matter to their own judgement.
Winchester business houses,
both Wholesale and retail, expect
to benefit largely by the inaugu-
ration of passenger traffic over
the new line.

An Interesting Trip.

T. j. Wright and family and
Joseph Shimfessel ane family re-
turned Sunday from a $500 mile
trip through the west. Their
route took them through part of
Ohio to Bloomington ILL.,, where
they visited relative for a couple
of days and to Council Bluff,
Iowa, where a few days more
were spent. After that their trip
extended through Nebraska and
Kansas to Butler, Mo-, where Mr..
Wright formerly lived. A week
was passed very pleasantly there,
and the party returned by way
of Indiana and Illinois. The trip
was made in Ford car, and no
trouble was experienced, two
punctures and s1.0O for repair
work being the entire expence in
thir line. Several bad mud holes
were encountered, but the car
never had to be pulled out, al
though on two occasions it was
necessary to pry it out.

The young people of the town EN-
ioyed a social evening at the home of
the writer last Friday. About 30 were
present, and a merry time was had.
Everybody seemed to enter into the
fun and help to make the evening a
success
School opered at the college Monday
with all the teachers present, and
large body of students, many of them
from outside districts, the enrolment
being the largest in the history of the
college. 1t is splendid sight to see
the young folks on their way to school,
and it makes one thinb that in the
coming years these boys and girls will
take their place in the world as men
and women and will be a credit TO
their parents and their town. How
many young men who today are vast
ing their time and living of the labor
of someone else, could have made
themselves into good citizens had they
attended school when they had the
chance. Too late they look back in
life and see the mistake they have
made. The writer nearly made this
fatal mistake, having left school when
IA years of age 1.-THE law compelled him
to go until that timel but, after spend
ing six years on a large dairy farm,
often working from 4 a. m. to s and 3
p. M, and seeing his old school mates
holding good positions, he decided to
go back to school. At an age when
most boys are ashamed TO attend a
school, he took a four year course at
Berea college and two years at Valpar-
also University in Indiana, working
his way through both institutions. In
the same class ths re was several men
of about 40 years Of age, and one man,
now a successful teacher, who was
nearly go years old. OF course, child
rem do not always like TO go to school
regularly, but parents should see that
they do as this is the only way for them
to get the best results.

Opening Exercises
At City School.

The city school opened Monday
with the largest attendance in
years. A number of parents were
present, and they seem to take
great deal of interest in the
work. Owing to the lack of
musical instrument in the school
the children marched into the
Christian church, where the ex-
ercises were opened by the sing
ing of America, after which
the 28rd psalm was given in con-
cert, followed by the Lords Pray
er. J. w. Hendricks, member
of the Board of Trustees, intro.
duced Mrs. w. G. Scale, princi.
pal of the school, who gave an
interesting talk on the value of
regular attendance.
Miss Bowen, the assistant
teacher, told the story of "The
Glad Little Rabbit" which was
enjoyed by all.
Rev. ID. Ii. Matherly, pastor
of the Christian church, was next
introduced by Noah ANDERSON,
another member of the Board,
and told a splendid story of the
boy, who, when entering college,
placed over his door the letter
"V". Four years later, when,
after working hard he was made
Valedictorian tor the class, he
showed them what the letter
meant. He had set his maak
high, and did not pause until he
reached it. Mr.. Matherly also
explained that the school is the
half way house between the home
and the world, and that the aim
of everOne should be to advance
the best interests of our boys and
girls.
The teachers, the pupils, the
Board of Education and the par
ents all look forward to a better
and greater school, and it is the
aim of the principal 20 impress
on the children the fact that the
school is a place where they can
get experience that is useful to
tn EN- now, and that will be in
valuable to them later in life.
Mrs Scale and Miss Bowen are
both competent teachers, and
have made an excellent start on
the years work. A moonlight
school will also be started shortly +,
and some friends in the town
have offered their services as as
sistsnt teachers in this. A move.
men has also been started to pro-
cure an organ for the school.
Half the money has alrea dy been
subscribed. and it is hoped to
have the instru ment in the course
of a week or so.
