German liberals Deny That
Chancellor Is Conducting
nlusionist Policy.

Berlin. (via Londom. Aug. 11.--A
meeting last night of the leaders of the
national liberal party in Berlin ex-
pressed unanimous condemnation OF
intringue against Chancellor Beth
mann Hollweg. 1t was declared that
the attitude opposition to the chancel-
lor as expressed recently In certain
party circles. does not represent the
opinion of the party as a whole. The
chancellor's public statements, it was
said, give no reason to suppose that he
is conducting weak illusionist policy
The meeting declared that his policy
deserves full confidence.

the following dispatch:
THE capture of Warsaw undoubted-
ly presents the greatest German
achievement In the war and it would
be stupid to minimize the character OF
the campaign or the bravery of the
German soldiers. whose sacrifices
placed them in possession of the goal
for which they suffered approximately
1.0O0.0Oo casualties in the space of a
year On the other hand. it would be
stupid to exaggerate the Importance of
Warsaw.
1.-The city was lost. not through the
defective gcneralship or inferiority ii
the Russian army. but solely through
the inability of Russia to convert its
vast resources quickly to the service OF
Warsaw. The evacuation of Warsaw
was carried out from beginning to end
without the slightest confusion. panic
Generalization. or diScouragement For
two weeks an unending train of trans
ports passed in orderly procession from
the city, removing everything which
might be of value to the Germans.
There was no storming of the city
Nor the Russians blew up the bridges
before leaving. The Russians played
their game virtually up to the last min
cute and the last shrapnel shell. Then
they retired in good order, leaving the
Germans to enter an undefended city.

James Oveno, who is said to have

James Oveno is said to have con-

This development, coupled with the
statements of other witnesses, some
OF whom say they saw the shooting
of the girl by Oveno, who then turned
the revolver on himself, and the cir

led to the tragedy, has convinced the
police that Oveno is the guilty man.
Assistant Chief of Detectives Mou-

hospital Thursday, and tried to get

A MISTAKEN IDENTITY
and
Memories Revived Thereby
BY: M. Tate

During a recent visit to Pensacola
and while crossing Garden street from
Palafox, ran against an elderly man
of some seventy-five years whose jov-
ial countenance / seemed to recognize
as a familiar one of the past. He, too
seemed to remember me as a former
acquaintance. Grasping each others
hands In a hearty shake he greeted me
with the salutation, hello comradel

OF the g. A. r. veterans in the lapel of

Lack of time forbade me stopping
and swapping with him experiences
of the late unpleasantness.
Passing the conventional forlnaiities
of having met each other, we separ
ated to meet no more perhaps until the
Judgment morn.
Now, Mr. Editor, a mistaken identity
is but trivial incident of every day
life, and perhaps similar mistakes oc-
cur in every town. This incident
strangely impressed me, for 1t occa-
stoned a reverie in which the scenes
and memories of the past were res
directed.

meaning until he has reached that
age in which his life is contemporary
with the length Of that period.
While hurrying to catch the north

On the Verge of

on the verge of a great era OF PROS

that is fast becoming general through

IRE coming soon. Every indication
points to a resumption in all lines

largest Industries OF the nation have
started up again after several months

creasing and managers have found It

While the war was. responsible for
the major part OF the difficulties
through which the country has passed
during the past six months, the an
certainty relative to possible legisla-
tion that might be detrimental to
great business interests has had con-
siderable to do with the financial

fidence in this regard that is respon-
gible for the movement toward re-
