BERLIN, Sept. IL. (Via The Hague.)
Berlin newspapers commented most
cautiously today on the request OF
the American government that Aus
trian Ambassador Dumba be recalled
by his government. The leading jour.
nails seemingly are awaiting more de
tails before expressing themselves
editorially.
| The Lokal Anzeiger's editorial to
day was the nearest approach to an
expression of opinion.
4 1T is most difficult" said the Lokal
lAnzeiger, for an ambassador to know
where to draw the line between his
own country's legal interests and the
affairs of the foreign country to which

iternal affairs of the country to which
he is accredited is absolutely forbid

/ Other Berlin newspapers which were
unwilling to comment on English re
ports of the Dumha affair remarked
that IL 1t should be proven that Or

Austria may not recall DR.. Dumba
according to information reaching here

i There is a possibility, though the
matter has not been determined, that
the Austrian foreign minister will up

United States to hand him his pass
ports. In that event, the Vienna dis.
patches stated. Austria will not send
another representative to Washington

At the close of the fifty-third an
nual state conference of Seventh-day
Adventists held in Mount Vernon, o.,
plans were adopted to continue its
firm support in behalf of temperance
by pledging hearty cooperation with
the forces of prohibition to make

proving of national legislation fav-
oring a constitutional amendment
porhibiting the manufacture, sale,
and promiscuous use of alcoholic
beverages
The treasurer's report showed sub
stantial gain in conference finance
during the past year with per cap
ita of $1,000 paid in support of the
work. The amount given to foreign
missions last year was S22,285.72,
an average Of 81 cents a week per

now being carried on in 85 different
countries by the use Of 107 Ian
guages employed orally and 80 in

License Board
II Mercer County Democrats Can
Get OmcIaIs Of NeIghbOring

A week from tomorrow, Septem-
Der 4, the new liquor license law will
so into effect, but according to a rul-
ing Of Attorney General Turner, no
meetings of the Board can be held
until September 9.
The local district, known as dis
trict No. 9, includes Mercer. Aug
laize and Van Vert Counties, and ac-
cording to law which provides that
MEETINGS be held in the most popu-
lace county of the district, the Board
Will assemble most likely at Wapa-
koneta.
The members of the board are the
Clerk of Courts, the Recorder and
the President of the County commits
sioners from each county. The Off
GERS on the Board from Mercer coun-
ty are Clerk OF Courts ]. b. Hasling-
er, Recorder Henry j. Stelzer, and
Andrew Brunswick, president Of the
Board of County Commissioners.
1t has been settled that the Mercer
county members Of the tri-county
district liquor licensing board will
be a unit, first, last and all the time
for Attorney Frank " Short, of this
city, present secretary Of the Mercer
County Liquor License Commission.
Mr.. Short is Ex-Governor CoX's first
appointee on the board here and as
he has given entire satisfaction to
both the wet and dry forces in the
county he will have no opposition,
and il is even probable that there
will be no republican candidate from
this county unless the Democratic

two counties representation on the
commission, and the local members
of the board are going to the conven-
tion with the intention that Mercer

be Frank V. Short.

SCANT INTEREST
Shown by Business Men In SeIec-
ton of Boys for Free Trip
to the State Fair.

Only five of the almost one hun
dred people entitled to vote in the Sc
lection of two Mercer County boys to
make the free trip to the Ohio State
fair were present at the court room
last Saturday morning, while only
one of the boy contestants ,Dussel
Lohrentz, residing in the Forest
Heights addition, presented himself
and his claims for the trip.
The lack of interest on the part OF
the people entitled to vote to present
themselves make these very impor-
tant decisions causes a lack of inter
est in the matter by the boy contest
ants. Several years ago, when the
election came off there were goodly
number of votes cast, and quite a
bunch of the contestants were pres
ent and presented their claims to De
honored with the trip.

SCHUNCK
Blood Hounds I'm Great Demand
and On way to Make Their
Owner Famous.

Leo Schunck last Monday sold
from his kennels of famous English
Bloodhounds pair of young pups to
Policemtn Thomas Druely, of Deca-
tur, Indiana Mr.. Druely expects to
use them on police work in and
around Decatur and also to establish

such as Mr. Schunck has in this coun-
ty.
Last week Policeman Druely and
Reynolds, and Sheriff Green of De-
catur, while in this city, visited the
Schunck kennels and looked over a
number of young pups, which result
ed in the sale last Monday of two of
the best young hound pups that Mr..
Schunck had.
Mr.. Schunck's hounds have made
several good round-ups in different
Indiana towns in the last several
weeks, and their work has created
quite a demand for pups, inquiries
having come in from the officials at
Marion, Angola South Whitley and
other Indiana towns as to possibil-
ity of supplying them with dogs.

Completely Cuts FruitHO Of
LehmeT & Needeff
EntaIIlng Loss Estimated at S3,-
OOO-NarrOw Escape of Pro-
prIetOrs from Death.

Fire, presumably caused by a ga
explosion, completely Quilted the
frame building on South Main street
Just south of the Democrat office, oc
cupied by the Lehmer & Nedeff can
dy kitchen and ice-cream parlor
shortly after one o'clock yesterday
morning, and caused considerable
damage to the buildings occupied by
the Landfair and Yaeger secondhand
store, the Rex motion picture thea
tire and the Deatrick barber shop
and for more than an hour threaten.
| ed to wipe out the entire portion ol
the square.
The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter one o'clock, when people lunch
ing at the Manhattan restaurant were
drawn into the street by an eXplOs-
ion. While surmising the scene OF
the explosion, Night Policeman Heis-
tan and Diener came upon the scene
in quest of tn disturbance. While
Heistan was questioning the boys
the flames broke out through tn top
of the building. Inability of central
to locate the fire for the fire depart
ment made the boys a bit slow in
arriving upon the scene, and before
the waters began to play upon the
building it was one mass of flames.
The fire whistle was not SOUNDED
and consequently not much outside
assistance was lent Fire Chief Weber
and his crew of fighters.
Excellent work on their part how
ever, assisted by, John Ellis and DR..
Ralph Schlenker, kept the fire from
wiping out the entire row of frame
buildings from the Ungerer brick,
occupied by the Rittoff's, south to the
corner. AS it was, despite the fact
that hte building in which the fire
started, was a mass of flames
throughout when the department ar
rived, only the sides of the adjoining
buildings and a portion fthe roofs
were burned. The building occupied
by Lehmer e Nedeff is owned by the
Devita brothers of Greenville, who
formerly occupied it with their
wholesale fruit store, and they are
the heaviest losers, as the frame
work is so damaged that it will hard
ly be possible to rebuild it. Their
loss Is only partly covered by insur-
ance.
Lehmer e Nedeff lost virtually ev-
erything they had. The furniture is
all complete loss, an dowing to the
fact that it was so short a time after
the Fair they had a unusually large
stock of fruits and candies on hand.
They estimate their loss at $4,000,
which is covered by $4,000 insur-
ance
TIL upper story of the building was
used as a tenement house, and We'd
nesday the family occupying the back
part moved out. 1t is thought that
possibly they left some open gas
jets or lines, which cause dthe ex-
plosion.
George Lehmer and Mike Nedeff
were sleeping in their quarters in
the front of the building upstairs,
and were awakened by the arrival of
the fire department They both had
narrow escapes, the latter brusing a
shoulder and cutting his left hand
in an endeavor to break open a door
to escape from their bed room. Mrs.
Nedeff and their little baby were alb
sent at the time, having gone to Ft.
Wayne last week to visit relatives.

borrowed from NeighbOr as
Result of AIadDOg Scare.

Indirectly as the result Of the mad
dog scare in this city last Tuesday,
Mrs. Carrie Worthington Mozingo,
lies at the point of death at her home
south of the Lake Erie & Western
railroad tracks on Walnut street,
with a bullet from a 32 automatic
pistol imbedded in her body, while
her four year old son maintains that
he "shooted de mad dorg."
AS the result of the talk of a mad
dog being loose about town last Tues
day Mrs. Mozingo on Wednesday
morning went to the home of her
sister across the street from her
home and borrowed an automatic re-
volver. Taking it home she placed
it in a bureau drawer within reach
of her four year old son, who was
with her.
Yesterday morning the little tot
slipped into the bedroom, secured
the loaded revolver and walked into
the kitchen, where his mother was
nursing younger baby. He point
ed the pistol at his mother and said,
"I kin shoot de mad dorg." Before
she had time to move he pulled the
trigger and the bullet, barely miss
ing the baby's head, penetrated Mrs.
Mozingo's side between the eighth
and ninth ribs, missing both cleanly.
The bullet penetrated the liver and
possibly passed entirely through it, is
the belief of DR.. Ayers, who was
hurriedly summoned. He probed
several inches into the hole made by
the missile, but it could not be locat-
ed. No hopes are entertained for
her reCOYerY.

A FEW WAR FACTS

Twenty-one million of soldiers are
engaged In the unparalleled war
now raging in Europe; what Will be
our quota II We are foolish enough to
enter into Il?
More than two million Of men have
been killed thus far. What will be
our toll If we take part?
over five Millions wounded. What
viii be our share If we participate?
The nations at war are now spend
ing four hundred million dollars per
week-more than twenty billions per
year--what will our expenditures be?
Before we decide TO "go in" "at
any cost" let some of the advocates
Of war give us an estimate. We are
a great nation and cannot be stingy
with blood or money II we east in our
lot with the belligerents.
And what is to be gained by war?
Protection of American rights? No,
that can be secured without loss of
life, money or honor; Il can be Sc
cured without arousing hatreds
which woul dlast a century.
And what would we lose by enter
ing into the war? Men? Yes, no
one knows how many. Money? Yes,
no one knows how much. But more
than that we would lose our place as
the leader of the neutral nations and
the opportunity to mediate when the
time for meditation comes; we would
lose the priceless privilege of using
our good Offices as a friend TO assist
in laying the foundation of perma-
nent peace.
There is no excuse for war. Our
grievances-we have them against |
both sides-do not justify war; and |
the treaty plan furnishes the machin- |
cry for maintaining an honorable |
peace. Those who talk war misrep- |
resent the wishes Of the people You |
can no more measure the sentiment |
Of the masses by the froth of the jim
go press than you can measure the |
oceans silent depths by the foam up |
on its waves.-W. J. Bryan's Com

retary1
The first session Of the Mercer
County Teachers Institute was held
in the auditorium of the Chautauqua
park Monday morning August 23,
1915.
The institute was opened by the
president, Supt. S. Cotterman in a
few well chosen remarks
After the singing of America and
reading of scripture by the Institute,
Miss Florence Mcneil of Cleveland,
was introduced and chose for her
opening address the subject: "The
Birthright of the American Child. 4"
The child must be taught that life is
able to supply all his needs to secure
food, shelter and chlothing. He must
have culture, but above all he must
have ideals and the power to discover
himself.
In this the teacher is the leader
The time will come when the parents
will study psychology as well as the
teacher. He has a right to self real
iZation and right to self express
ion.
Teaching is the art of all arts, the
science of all sciences
After a short intermission Supt.
Edwin J. Brown of Dayton spoke on
"The Teacher. First, her task, sec
ond, her temperament, third, her
training. The task of the American
teacher is great. The Panama Ca
nal was a failure until the American
nation took up the task. The Coast
to Coast telephone system is a result
Of the American school. The teach
er's training comes through talk, ira
vel and toll and the greatest of these
is toll.
He recommended the study of
Pages Theory and Practice, Emer-
son Whites books, The Ideal Teacher
ind Thring's Theory and Practice.
Mr. Cotterman then made some
announcements and a recess until l p.
m. was taken.
Monday Afternoon Session
After the enrolment of the 1862
teachers as members of the institute
Miss Mcneil gave a valuable address
on the teaching of language, telling
of the child's inability to use words
until he learned them through imi-
tation.
In the teaching of this subject the
teacher should have an ideal or
toward which she grad
ually draws the child.

tion, should first be taught, then fol-
