By FREDERICK WERNER.

Berlin. Aug. 1?.-"Proudly and with.
out fear we look into the future" was
the emphatic assertion made by I'm
perial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg in his address opening the
Reichstag today. In reviewing the
military operations of the first year
of the war. the chancellor claimed vic.
tory for Germany and her allies on
every front and added:
I'VE ourselves. have strong armies
free and at our disposal for new en-
terprises."
In the first part of his speech the
chancellor retraced the history of Eu
ropean events leading up to the pres
ent war and charged that attempts
had been made by the enemies of Ger
many to conceal the whole truth from
the nations at large and from their
own people. He asserted this was
proved in completeness by the infor-
nation given by the diplomatists of the
enemy to their own parliaments.
The chancellor said this showed that
until now the complete truth had been
hidden and forbidden in the enemies
countries and added:
New Life for Poland.
II never have concealed anything
from the representatives of the Ger
man nation and have never had any
thing to conceal"
The chancellor further discussed 70
lands future, declaring that the previous
GermanPolish antagonism would be
ended.
Our present occupation of the Polish
east frontier" said the chancellor. lis the
beginning OF an evolution which leads the
country. freed from the Russian yoke, to-
ward a brighter future, in which she will
be able to develop and cultivate a nation

Dardanelles Front UnshaLen.
Reviewing the present military situa-
tion the chancellor said:
Since you assembled here the last time
great things have happened. Again all
French attempts to shatter our west front
have failed, in spite OF their contempt fer
death and their reckless waste of human
lives.
Italy, our new enemy that thought she
could easily take her neighbor's goods,
has been splendidly repulsed, in spite of
her numerical superiority and the i'm
mense sacrifice of human lives.
"Unshaken and unshakable stands our
Dardanelles front.
We greet our faithful allies and extend
especial greetings to that exalted ruler,
the Danube monarch who yesterday en-
tered his SSth year.

There's evidence from prisoners state
ments that the Turks have been consid-
erably REINFORCED with a view to heavy
attacks on us. and that ours forestalled
the enemy's by about twenty four hours.
Consequently the fighting was very Sc

heavy.
The landing at Suvla Bay was well
planned and carried out by the navy. but
in spite of the fact that the Turks devel-

not make very satisfactory progress be-

YOUNG LIFE

Former Mt. Sterling Girl Dies at
Hospital in Texas After Long
illness

Relatives and friends were grieved
to learn that Mrs. Ernest Steele
(nee Miss Charlotte Samuels) had
died at a hospital in Houston, Tex,
Thursday after an illness Of four
months duration.
She is survived by her husband
and three little children, her mother,
Mrs. J. II. e. Jepherson, of Alvin,
two brothers, Dudley, of Galveston,
and J. Stockwell Samuels, Of this
city, besides a large number Of rela-
tives in this section.
She had been resident of Texas
for about eight years, and was
twenty-four years of age.
Born and reared in this city she
was known to everyone, and a
brighter, sweeter girl it has never
been our pleasure to know. OF a
happy, jolly disposition, her smiling
face, joyous laugh and kindly greet
ing made her extrmeely popular with
everyone with whom she came in
contact.
She was a musician of rare abil-
ity and, had she so desired, could
have made a national reputation on
the concert stage.
Life will never be quite the same
to those who knew her, while those
who were nearest to her will long for
her with unutterable longings-long
for a mothers counsel and advice,
and wife's gentle and loving sym
pathy.
Funeral services. were conducted
at her home in Alvin, Tex, Saturday
with burial in that city.
To the bereaved family we tender
our deepest sympathy in their hour
Of sorrow.

LARGE CROWDS
In ATTENDANCE
Chautauqua Opened Here Friday and
Large and EnthuIastIc Crowds
Are Attending.

The Redpath Chautauqua opened
its third season in this city last
Friday afternoon. Large and enthu-
iastic crowds are attending each
performance and everyone is highly
elated over the superb program
which is being rendered.
Each entertainment is proving
highly entertaining ~ well as quite
instructive. The lectures are a
source Of great delight and the
music is of high order.
The annual appearance of the
Redpath Chautauqua in this city is
the greatest event of each year in
Mt. Sterling and the immense
crowds which attend is proof con-
elusive Of the merit of its splendid
program.
The morning, afternoon and even
ing entertainments are all proving a
source of great pleasure and if you
miss single session you are GER
tain to miss something you wanted
to see OF. hear.
The Superintendent, Mr.. Roy L..
Smith, is proving quite popular here.
He is efficient and courteous and has
made many friends while in this
city.
The weeks program closes here
Friday evening with song recital
by the worlds most noted Prima
Donna, Miss Alice Nielsen.
We feel that Mt. Sterling is truly
fortunate in having a series of such
high class entertainments and our
people are awaiting themselves of the
opportunity to hear these speakers,
lecturers and singers, of national
reputation, and we hope that the
Chautauqua is destined to be an
annual event in this city.
