Our readers know that last February there was
meeting in Washington in behalf OF Berea College and
it's work for the southern mountains Many OF our read
have wished to know what said there by Mr. Just
ice Hughes and the President of the Uuited States
1t must be remembered that Berea College the
very first to give attention to the needs OF people in the
country and particularly those people who far in
the country the mounaneers In former years the peo
pie OF the mountains were forgotten misunderstood
Berea has shown that they of the great hopes Of
the nation and has brought education to their DOORS and
education of the right kind.
Among other things Justice Hughs said, 1--WE have
gathered here in the interest of Southern Highland
Berea has merited distinction in calling public at
enton the fact that there in the mountainous
try of the Southern Appalachans district embracing
portions Of eight states and three millions Of people

Tonight there is here Of the heroes Of peace of
those men who really make our country great man Of
devotion and Of vision have the greatest pleasure in

President Wilson said in part "I envy President
Frost because he is going straight to the heart Of Of
the most interesting problems Of American fe Here is
College filled with people hungry to learn The object
of Beea College to do what America intended to
do to give to people who had not had opportunity
! do not how anybody can think OF Berea and the
work il has to do without catching fire."
Another speaker in Washington DR.. Fredrick G..
Bonser of Columbia University in New York City, who
had just spent week in visiting Berea He said in part
"Berea has studied with painstaking the people
throughout this vast field OF its discovery and devotion

range of their material and social problems Berea is
sufficient demonstration that farmers mech

ADVERTISERS

The spirit Of advertising is be-
coming more and more the habit of
the day. Those who do not advertise
are in the minority and their busi-
ness enterprises are following them
at break-neck speed toward Deficit
vile, Poor County, State Of Grumps.
These gentlemen and their courses
are readily detected by one who So
licits advertisements. The man who
is not prospering during these good
times is the one not found among
the advertisers. The Citizen is al
ways ready TO Help those who are
willing TO help themselves. See

Suppose you paid less than two cents

rev and the Bug.
London, July 27.-That Warsaw 10
shortly to be evacuated is indicated
In dispatches from Petrograd.
The information does not come so
concisely phrased, but It is set forth
that Russia is now fighting only to
prevent the Germans from shifting q
large number of troops from the east
to the west front, holding on until the
allies can bring up sufiicient ammunE
ton to face drive. It is said frankly
IN dispatches that the battle around
the Polish capital is Of far more i'm
portance to the west than 1t is to
Russia.
In the meantime II is known that
the Germans are steadily moving
south to east Of Warsaw and that they
are now fairly over the territory be-
tween the Narew and the Bug. Five
or six miles on the other side OF the
Bug lies the Warsaw.Petrograd rail-
way. the last adequate means Of COM
uunication from the city. II 10 i'm
possible now to use the Warsaw-Ivan-
Corod- Moscow railway. There is, how
ever, a commodious post road to the
south of the Petrograd line. but with
the fall Of the railway that would be
threatened.
The reported cession by Turkey to
Bulgaria. of the Turkish portion of the
Dedeaghatch railway has created con-
siderable discussion in England, but
the Bulgarian legation at London in
sists that II had no confirmation Of
such an arrangement.

use of the line for ten years. but this
privilege, Il is contended, has been fire.

peatedly stopping freight traffic. Bull
garia protested against this and final

ment OF Turkish consignments across
its border. To remedy this situation
appears to be the immediate object Of
Turkeys present move.
It is stated in circles protesting to
understand the situation that II would
have no effect on Bulgaria's neutrality,
although this, of course, is debatable.
There has been unusual calm on the
French front during the past twenty
four hours. There were no artillery
actions Of consequence. though there
was some grenade throwing between
the trenches in the forest Of Ally.
Elsewhere there was cannonading.

Chicago, July 27.-while Chicago
was beginning to bury its dead. and
while divers continued to bring life
less forms from the murky depths OF
the charnel excursion ship Eastland,
investigations to fix the responsibility
were started.
Steps were taken toward Furnishing
those responsible for the appalling
loss Of life by the federal, state and
municipal authorities, and indications
point that the inquiries will be the
most sweeping Of the kind over held.
Figures tabulated by Coroner Hoff-
man show that 727 bodies have been
identified and taken from the Second
Regiment armory, and that there are
still eleven unidentified bodies there.
Bodies identified at undertaking rooms
mum deaths reported to
the coroner's Office, ten, while the
Western Electric company reported
s3S missing. This shows a total of
1,155.
Coroner Hoffman and other officials,
after careful census Of the dead
identified, unidentified and known
missing, put the total loss of life in
the di iaster at 1900. Firemen and
divers who have explored the lower
sections Of the great steel tomb insist
there are still FIVE hundred bodies still
locked within the hull.
Reports also came from Washington
that there was a manifest shifting of
responsibility in department circles

In the midst of the war, Russia is

is the longest in the world. 1t con-
meets Moscow and Petrograd with

lent bombardments of Turkish
trenches r being kept up. and en-
ormous amounts of ammunition are
being expended with problematical
results. Evidently this is in con-
formity with orders from the new
commander. Major General Monro.
who has succeeded Sir Ian Hamilton.
Whether a new general assault will
be attempted depends upon circum-
stances. The English and French
may decide to abandon the Gallipoli
peninsula altogether. but such a de-
cision is unlikely. 1t is more prob
able that there will be severe fight
ing in the near future. in a final
effort to break Turkish resistance and
tighten Turkish pressure at other
points.
In Russia Field Marsh | Won Hin
denburg continues fiert y and OBJ
stinately to batter the r ,ssian wall
of steel around Riga in ne hope of
taking that city beforeV inter- inter-
venes. The Russians ha lost some
ground within the last few weeks,
but at other points they have as
sumed an offensive defensive and are
keeping the German commander-in
chief fully occupied. To the south
of the Pripet marshes and in Galicia
the Russians keep up incessant fight
ing, so as to prevent the Germans
from digging in along an advanced
line.
The Italian offensive has made
some progress. but not enough to
seriously annoy the Tuetons or to
divert them from their campaign in
Serbia.
In the Baltic the English submar-
ines have attained almost the eff
cheney of the German submarines in
the North sea three months ago. In
the last three weeks more than one
ship a day has been sunk. The war;
fare is having at least an embarras-
sing effect upon traffic between Ger
many and Sweden. Many ore ships
are being held in Swedish harbors
for fear they will be sunk by British
81 bmarines if they venture to sea.
The Germans have admitted the
10 IS of the cruiser Prince Adalbert.
which was sunk by a British SUBJ
marine near the Russian port of Libau,
at present held by the Germans.
Cpmpensating the Germans for this
loss is the loss Of the English cruiser
A .gyll. which has gone ashore on
the northeast coast of Scotland.
Few lives were lost. whereas nearly
everybody aboard the Prince Adal-
bert met death.
In the western theater of war
there has been fighting with artillery
and hand grenades. with occasionally
an infantry battle. The French cap
tured another German salient in the
Champagne country. only to be GUST
ed from most of it by counter attacks.
Ia a collision between an English
warship and the mine-layer Hythe.
the latter vessel was sunk, with a
loss Of probably $50 lives. of the
Gallipoli peninsula.
