NO ROMANCE
CRESBARD PURCHASER WROTE
TO GIRL, BUT RECEIVED PO-
LITE CALL DOWN."

Cresbard, Sept. 4.-One of the fas-
tidious young men of this village not
long ago purchased a pair Of ~overalls
in the pocket of which he found a
card bearing the name and address
of the girl who had made them. He
Immediately wrote TO her, putting in
all of the effusiveness he deemed
necessary to the occasion, and the
other day received a reply. void of
all semblances of romance and full of
hard headed jolts for the local man.
Here Is in part some of the things
she said in her letter:
II am a working girl. it is true. but
| am making a good living and do
o care to support a husband, as in
all probability | would have TO do if
| married some poor, silly noodle
who gets mashed on a girl he never
saw.
Further, permit me to say that l
do not know how my card got into
that pair of overalls. Furthermore.
when | do marry. if | ever do, Ii will
be some fellow who can afford some
thing a little better than a AZ cent
pair of breaches"

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York. Sept. Special. AL
though on all the battle fronts SAN
culinary engagements are in progress,
peace talk is in the air.
Cardinal Gibbons has conveyed to
President Wilson a message from
Pope Benedict regarding peace-a
suggestion that the time is now ripe
for proposing the opening between
the belligerents of discussions having
as their purpose the cessation of hos
~tilities.
While neither the cardinal nor the
president has made known the details
of the conference at the White House
or disclosed the ext of the message
from the pontift. the cardinal admit
ted hat peace was discussed and
that he had told the president that
the United States had been placed in
a very advantageous position to be OF
service in bringing to an end the o n
hict, owing 20 the apparent settle
ment of the submarine case between
the United States and Germany,
which had greatly aided the cause of
peace.
Germany is DESTROYS of having the
claims for compensation arising out
of the sinking OF the Lusitania and
Arabic submitted to The Hague for
adjudication. The instructions is
sued to Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador at Washington,
according to a dispatch from Berlin,
authorizes him to make this offer to
the American government, while at
the same time immunity from attack
without warning to passenger steam
ers is provided for.
Official circles in Berlin was re-
ported to be optimistic with refer
enee TO the successful issue of nego-
tlations between Germany and the
United States respecting the German
submarine policy.
The Germans and Austrians. ac-
cording 10 Berlin and Vienna. are
continuing their progress against the
Russians on the eastern line from
northwestern Russia through eastern
Galicia. On the northern sections of
this line, except In the region of Riga,
the Russians seemingly are falling
back toward the north and less ex-
tended front which Grand Duke
Nicholas has assigned to them for a
possible stand. Just where this line
is has not beer made known. AS for
days past artillery engagements and
lighting by means of bombs and pc
tards are ia progress in the western
frontier and on the Austro-Italian
front, although there has been on the
latter front some infantry engage
ments at isolated points.
On the Gallipoli peninsula hard
lighting is going on between the
Turks and the allies. with both sides
claiming victories. In the Darda-
nelles, where there have been no OPP
erations for some time, allied mine
sweepers have been at work trying to
clear the straits of Turkish mines,
but according to Constantinople they
we're driven off by Turkish guns.
