Parlg. June 8. 1.sSS Sp. m.-The bonn harded shell of old Fort Vaux has finally passed into the possession of the Germans after a. heroic resistance. In which the troops holding out there were cut off from food supplies for flve days and from all communication for tho last 24 hours. The French on withdrawing, however. still held the trenches sweeping around the western and southern slopes of the fortress.
 The desperate defence made by Commander Raynal and the sail con- tlngant left in the fort constitutes one of the most notable incidents of the Vhrflun campaign. The fort had been gradually pounded to pieces in terrific seven day bombardment while infantry rushes were repeatedly launched in this period against the slopes of the fort. its ditches and out works. Early yesterday morning General Raynars force was cut on for the first time from communi- eating with the French trenches ly- ing only 300 yards to the south. The means of transporting provisions and

ROUMANIA GOES IN

The entrance of Roumania into the
European war is significant from
many points of view.
The ruler of Roumania is German.
He has not been particularly pre-
JUDGED one way or the other. His
people are largely Slav. But it has all
along been understood that Roumania
would be governed by self-interest.
The government has been keeping a
close tab on the situation. The an
nouncement that Roumania has gone
into the struggle means, therefore,
that the governing authorities believe
that the allies are going to win and
that the material interests of the
country will be best prompted by lin
ing up with the winners.
1t is a fact, too, that the war of
late has been going in favor of the
allies. The troops of the central en-
pires have been pushed back of late
on every front. Roumania coming in
now with from five to eight hundred
thousand troops is bound to exercise
powerful influence in the scale.
1t would not be at all surprising if
in the near future Turkey and Aust
ria began to make anxious inquiry
as to what sort of terms the allies are
willing to accept and let them out of
the game.
Roumania is not taking a jump in
the dark. Its rulers doubtless believe
they have picked out a safe course
one which will mean large territorial
accession to the expense of Austria
and some of the Balkan states and an
alliance with the entente powers
which will enable the country to re-
tain its acquired territory after the
present war is over.

LITTLE son DIES SUDDENLY

Kenneth Boynton McKearney, lit
tie son of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen w.
McKearney, died at the home of his
parents in this city Thursday. He had
been sick only day, and his sudden
summons is a very sore trial for his
parents, he being their only child.
Kenneth was born March 20, 1913,
and died August "a, 1916, aged three
years, four months and twenty-five
days. The remains, accompanied by
the Borrowing parents, were taken to
Nevada, Iowa, their former home,
Friday for funeral services and in
terment
Thus over happy home the shad-
ow of little grave has fallen; and
as mother has said, it is wonderful
how long a shadow little grave can
throw.
This beautiful baby life was so pre-
cious, so frought with blessings to
his parents that he seemed a flower
of paradise permitted to bloom for a
brief season by their side, then re-
called to its nature skies, leaving the
earth road for them lonely and dark
indeed.
Mr.. McKearney is employed in the
j. II. Best tailor establishment and
he and his family were making their
home at the residence of Mrs. Geo.
Townsend. They returned Monday
from their sad mission and will con-
tinue to reside in Audubon for the
present.

CHILD KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Were Former Residents of Douglas
Township But A Few Years Ago
Moved to Shelby County

Albert Hansen and family who used
to live in Douglas township, but who
few years ago moved to Shelby
county, were in a serious automobile
accident last Sunday. Their little
baby was killed and other members
of the family seriously injured. The
following account of the accident ap-
peared in the Council Bluffs daily,
Tuesday morning:
"Three-year-old Agnes Hansen was
killed, her mother probably fatally
injured and her father, Albert Han
of Tenant, Shelby county, more or
less seriously injured Sunday after
noon shortly before 3 o'clock when
the automobile which they were rid
ing was struck, two miles south OF
Tenant, by a Chicago Great Western
train No. 5, westbound out of Ten
nant at 1922 o'clock.
Reports from the Jennie Edmund
son hospital, where the injured peo-
pie were taken, indicated Monday
morning that while Mrs. Hansen's in
juries were found to be most serious,
she has a possible chance for recov-
cry. Little Lucille. it is believed, was
not seriously hurt, and Mr.. Hansen
himself was able to walk around
Monday morning.
Trainmen believe Hansen. who is
a farmer near Tenant, tried to beat
the train to the crossing" and the
pilot of the locomotive struck the
rear of the automobile. The baby
who was killed was thrown twenty
feet into the air and forty feet from
the rails before she struck the ground
The other member of the family
were thrown ALMOST as far. The auto
mobile was demolished and the pilot
of the locomotive was damaged by
the force of the collision.
Tenant is in Shelby county near
the Pottawattamie county line and
a message was sent ahead to Minden
where DR.. Augustine boarded the
train and accompanied the injured to
Council Bluffs. Mrs. Hansen was Civ
en- an opiate to relieve the pain and
ambulances were in readiness at the
station here to convey the injured to
Edmundson hospital. The dead baby
was taken to Cutters mortuary. The
body was taken Monday morning to
Harlan, where funeral services were
held.
AS the death occurred in Shelby
county, investigation will be made by
the coroner at that place"

WHY A DEMOCRAT
OPPOSES WILSON

Washington, Aug, 80. Especial
Correspondence Democrats were
considerably disturbed a few days ago
when Congressman ]. w. Fordney, of
Michigan, placed in the COMPRESSION
al Record a long and vigorously
worded letter written by Mr.. Louis E.
Rowley, of Lansing, Mich, who was
an ardent supporter of Woodrow Will
son in 1912 but who will support
Charles +. Hughes in 1916. A por-
ton of the letter reads as follows:
Speaking as a Democrat, l would
not give my vote to indorse such a
record as the present administration
has made if Thomas Jefferson had in
dorsed il thousand times. l say it
sadly, but in many respects Wood
row Wilson has been the most I'M
democratic President the country has
ever ad-undemocratic alike in his
temper and in his conception of the
function of his office.
IF a Republican President had
done the arbitrary, inconsistent, and
incredibly maladroit things which
Woodrow Wilson has done from the
very out set of his presidential ca
reer the Democratic leaders and press
would long ago have united in a deaf
ening demand for his summary i'm
parchment as an intolerable dictator.
They are only prevented from doing
so now by the fact that over his head
flies the Democratic flag, which in the
stress of a presidential contest they
prefer to the flag of their country.
But | cannot take such a narrow,
no ri co ~ xrinu Of raunnnCihilitNy a @
an American voter. We are passing
crises in world history. Tempest
weather is still threatening. Even
the signing of peace concordat in
Europe may increase rather than
diminish our national difficulties by
precipitating a revolutionary tulmult
that will rival the war in it's world
CONFUSING consequences. In any
event the end of the war will bring
mementous economic and interna-
tional changes. If there was ever a
time when the United States needed
wise, strong and steadfast statesman
ly guidance, ii is in these destiny
fraught days.
Fortunately. in the midst of our
national anXieties and bewilderment
one rock of assurance rears its head.
1t is the figure of that courageous,
masterful, and fortnight American
statesman, Charles Evans Hughes.
HE is tried and proved certainty"
is the tribute which was paid to him
by the Democratic New York World
over eight years ago
mo one has ever accused him of
rhapsodizing or trimming in the pres
ence of grave public perils. No one
has ever questioned his intellectual
conscientiousneSs.
"He owes all of his national prom
inence to the independence, the di-
rectness, and the unhasting thorough
ness of his political action. Never in
all his public career a bidder for pop
ularity, he has nevertheless been TAX
en- up by the people and advanced to
the highest official position. BY con-
sequence, his career is one of the
great examples, one of the great in
spirations. of our county. All of
which goes to prove that he has the
quality of a representative mind
the mind of real leader to whom the
people instinctively turn in time of
national need.

Evans Hughes with the same patriot
ic confidence that l voted for Grover
Cleveland"

Joyous occasion, and everyone heart
lily enjoyed themselves. Time did not

those present to depart for their

that they had done honor to a good
neighbor and friend, and had partici-
pated in a very pleasant gathering.

MOURN DEATH OF
LITTLE DAUGHTER

Little Cleotis Amos Moreland,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos
died last Thursday, Follow
ing an illness of a few days. She
was born June IL, 1914, and died
August "a, 1916, aged two years, two
and thirteen days. Funeral
services were held Saturday after
noon at 900 O'Clock from the Evan
gelical church, and interment was
made in Arlington Heights cemetery.
Only the memory of the lovely
child is left, yet how sweet, how up
lifting it's influence. For, after all,
death is but the slipping off of the
outer body. The taking away of this
child has left sad home, but the
memories thereof can fancy her await
ing them in the place prepared for
her, a little apart from the innumer-
able company in bright array.

Christmas business was far ahead
of last year. according to reports Of
merchants. and on Saturday the state
ment that the sales Of goods practi-
cally doubled that OF last year was
common. IT is explained that the peo-
pie generally appeared to have more
money than they did a year ago; that
they came into the stores. bought
what they wanted and departed with
out haggling over the price. The easy
manner of people with plenty Of money
seemed to prevail with purchasers and
they spent accordingly.
Many tired shop girls felt thank
full that they had Sunday on
which to rost their tired feet before
beginning the celebration OF Christmas
Day. The girls were really tired this
year, as trade in Wilmington has
been unusually good. Quite a number
of them are holiday clerks" Just on

the opportunity OF getting used to the
exercise Of standing on their feet for
