| Paris, Sept. Major General Per-
shing, who has remained in Paris
clearing up the work at his old head
quarters and who is not going to field
| headquarters until Sunday or Monday,
declared today in connection with
plans for the coming winter that the
American people must learn the
meaning and value of patience, and
not expect that the eXpeditionary
| forces landed in Europe can be rushed
| Immediately to the front-line trenches.
To put an inadequate, insufficiently
supplied force into actual combat, he
said, would merely be making mis-
| bly, have hoped and expected the
| United States would make. 1t is the
| determination rather that when
America does take her place in the
line next year she will be fully pre-
pared to go through the summer cam
paign and make the Germans feel the
full weight of her military power.
Making Giant Strides.
Those of us who have fully studied
the situation and who know what
must be done" said General Per-
shing to the Associated Press, are
anxious that the people at home shall
strive to realize the immensely of the
task in which we are engaged and
shall, through patience and care, help
us to accomplish that task in the
shortest possible time. Everything is
going well with us, both as a nation
and as an army. We are making gi-
ant strides but We are just started.
I'VE came into the war without an
Iarmy. We have always been a peace
loving people and undoubtedly the
great majority of us hoped we would
be spared war SO now we must build
new organization and build it so big
and strong that we can take our
place with our allies, who already
have had three years experience.
Army's Problems Great.
II realize how very difficult it is for
the people at home to visualize the
war, to visualize the effort that lies be-
hind the war. Our problems are
greater than any France and Great
Britain had to solve but We are solv-
ing them and will continue to do so.
1T is impossible to create vast
fighting machine merely by the wave
Of wand. wish it were possible to
do so and that we might be fighting
the German government this minute.
We know that the only way to defeat
the German army is to hammer and
keep on hammering it. This is what
We expect to be doing with all our
fresh strength and enthusiasm during
next years campaign. But until we
can properly take our place in the
line, the people must be patient and
as confident as we are.

Logan, Ia, Sept. 1.-On the eve of
his trial for completely in the famous
Villisca axe murders of 1912, Rev.
Lynn G. j. Kelly itinerant preacher,
it was announced today by j. f. Ris-
den a state agent, signed an unquali-

eight persons with an axe and then
through his counsel made a complete
reputation.
Kelly's confession was made early
Friday morning in the presence of
Attorney General II. NJ. HaVner, Sher-
iff NJ. D. Meyers, of Harrison coEn-
ty, Deputy Charlie Atkins, j. r. Ris-
den, state agent, and j j. Hess, Coun-

Kelly said a sermon on the text "Slay

the preacher declared in his confes-
sion.
Saws Third Degree Was Used.
Later in the day, Friday, j A. Nc
Kenzie of the legal firm represent
ing Kelly, went to Logan and visited
the preacher in his cell. Mckenzie
then said Kelly completely repudiated
the confession. Judge A. l.. sutton of
Omaha, of Kelly's counsel says the
confession is not worth the paper 1t
is written on. Drastic third degree
methods were used by state authori-
ties to get the signed statement from
Kelly, Judge Sutton declares. On the
other hand, those present when the
confession was secured absolutely
deny using any force of coercion on
the preacher
Kelly may not go to trial at Red
Oak next Tuesday. His physical con-
dition may prevent. Sunday there
will be a conference of his lawyers
with two specialists in the Jail in this
city. One specialist will examine
Kellys nervous condition and the
other his physical condition. If the
result of the examinations warrants,
the attorneys will present an affi-
davit to the court Tuesday and will ASK
that the easel be postponed

What to Use and Avoid
 On Faces That Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breSthe. It also must perspire-must expel, through the pores, it's share of the body's waste material. Certain creams and powders clog the pores. interfer- ing both with elimination and breath ing. especially during the heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use or dinary mercolized wax they would have healthy complications. This re- markahle substance actually abs 5s a bad skin. also unclogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger under skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. The exquisite new com plexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artif1ciality. Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from your druggist and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream for 8 week or two. washing it off mornings.
 To remove wrinkles. here's a mar velously effective treatment, which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo- lite in a half pint witch hazel and use as a wash 1otion.-Adv.

 FOR MAYOR IN
 CHARTER VOTING
Politicians Profess to See Sanction by Public of
 Present System.

V While some politicians desire to construe the result of Saturdays over whelming defeat of the city manager charter as q vindication for the pres ent administration, others point out that it was the reply to the bold at tempt of few to have passed a char ter against which the people have al- ready recorded themselves. It is also pointed out that there could be no reason for the people desiring now to vindicate the administration against which they voted in deciding for a five commissioner plan of government a year. ago.
 The charter defeat was expected and by Saturday it's fate was realied by its most sanguine supporters. The correctly anticipated result accounts an a measure for the light vote, less than. 20 per cent. of the registered electors of the city going to the polls 2,S98 against the charter and e31 for it, shows that only a fourth of those whose votes were recorded favored the change. Some 500 votes were lost because the early warning to lock all levers of the machines except those to be used, was disregarded.
 The expected satisfactions are be- Ing expressed today by Republican leaders including John T. King and Mayor Wilson and the general public will doubtless be pleased to know

 With respect to highway bridges, it is not deemed necessary by the highway commissioner to call for any assistance outside of that which he now has under his control.

Fourth Regiment, c. H. G.,
 Holds Regimental Drill

One half of the military forces of .. H. G., of Bridgeport, and the ann bulance supply and hospital detach- ments, passed in review of Col. Will son and his staff at Seaside park yes- terday . About 1,2O0 soldiers were seen in regimenta1 drill by 5000 per-, sons who flocked to the drill grounds to witness the event. It is estimated that fully 500 automobiles were parked about the space and a cor don of traffic police were required to keep the stragglers in check. The police arrangements were highly com mended by the officers in charge of the mobilization and especially the effort which kept the automobilists from sounding their horns in appre- citation of the movements of execu- ton.
 This habit which has long obtained in the park where band concerts were in progress and had the effect of spelling large part of the musical program would render entirely use- less any oral commands and spoil the movements of troops because the use of hand signals has not yet entered into the drilling of soldiers here. The horn-sounding. however, has been effectively checked by the police.
 Although official reasons for the drill yesterday are not fully explanatory of the concentration, it was said un- officially that many persons had har- bored the impression that Bridgeport had no military protection now that the Connecticut National Guard had left. That this is not the case was amply demonstrated yesterday when a full regiment with detached com panies went into drill action.
 The drill Is said to be highly satis- factory as whole but has shown the necessity for further schools of in- struction both for officers and men.
