Biggest Celebration in History Of COcse County WH Be Staqed n Warren District TOmO,r0 Draft Soldiers Guests

With the biggest celebration in her history but "A hours away, Bisbee stands ready to show the men she is giving to the nation just how squarely she stands be- hind them. Her quota may not be so large and her parade may not reach so many miles as in larger sister cities of the east, but her civid pride and her spirit will run as high and brave and true when she bids farewell and Godspeed to her departing sons.
 Begins Early
 Beginning at o'clock the cele- bration will run continuously un- til near midnight, and there will be something doing every mo- ment of the day. The right sort of speeches, the right sort of mu- sic, the right sort of fun and the right sort of spirit-that is the "order of the day"
 Barbecue Is Free
 And let there be no misunder- standing about the big barbe cue. It is free. Free to everyone. Smoking hot beef sandwiches and picnic trimmings will be served at 12:30. There will be no crowd ing and confusion. The great throng will be served in line by trained walters and carvers, and there will be plenty for every one. It will be one of those all day picnics down at Warren where no one has to bring his din ner with him. Everything is free.

FROM DEN ARK.
lBy Review Leased Wire)

COPENHAGEN, Sept. IA naval engagement occurred this morning be tween German and English mosquito craft of Nyminde Cab. west coast of Jutland. British destroyers attacked four German armed trawlers and drove them ashore.
 A Rinkiobing paper says the British bombarded the trawlers after they grounded. completing their destruc- tion.
 About one-hundred German seamen were landed. many of whom were severely wounded. One rumor has 1t that 100 dead have come ashore. but apparently this is distorted.
 The German craft presumably were engaged in patrolling and min-sweep- ing to clear the route for German sub- marines.
 German airplanes and submarines, according to one account. took part in the fight.
 A semi-official Danish report says four German trawlers were driven ashore near Rinkiobing Fiord and that the crews were landed. The remain der of the fleet of German armed trawlers fled to the south.

Numerous Signs
 OfBigBdttLesAre
 Seen at tue Front

With the closing of a week of com parative inactivity along the western fronts numerous signs of revival arc apparent. In Flanders the British guns are again thundreing the threat of renewed infantry threats against the German lines. The French, while comparatively quiescent in the Yer dun region, are giving another dis play of their successful dash:ng tao tics in the Aisne region.
 Cn the carso
 On the Austro-Italian front, General Cadorna apparently has aligned his forces for another drive in force on the Bainsizza pleteau and is again. edging toward Trieste on the Carso.
 While the Italian offensive has the aspect of larger importance, the French assault in the Hurtebise re- zion on the Aisne front Friday even ing was perhaps the most interesting development of the "A hours. In one sweep after brief artillery preparation, General Petain's troops drove the Germans out of their trenches along a front of nearly mile on the Chemin des Danes and pushed the French lines forward more than 300 yards.
 isonzo Active
 In the Isonzo fighting on Friday, General Cadorna's troops took more than 700 additional prisoners, bring ing the total for the offensive up to
Bisbee daily review., 1917-09-02

more than 27,000. The Italians cap tured additional trench elements on the Carso and withstood successful violent counter attacks by the Aus trians on the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle.
 Rumanians Hold Lines
 From the Russo-Rumanian front the German claims of successes are growing less comprehensive. Field Marshal von Mackensen's drive against the Moldavian lines northeast of Fokshani does not seem to be gaining the force winch it promised to attain for a time and press dis. patches have reported the Rumanian hopeful of retaining Moldavia in spite of heavy Teutonic pressure.
 Petrograd reports the repulse of an attack on the Rumanian lines in the Fokshani region. Berlin claims German forces carried hill position there after a stiff fight.
 Artillery Active
 There is more artillery activity than usual along the Russian north. ern front, but no pronounced move ment against Riga. such as was sug, gested by Fridays Petrograd advices, has as yet developed.
 In Macedonia the entente troops have attacked at several points. Der lin repots repulses for Italians, Ser bians and French in attempts upon the German-Bulgarian lines.

the beginning of the celebration to its end, and this, too. is free. AS a matter of fact, Monday is going to be a mighty hard day for the people who want to spend money.
 Athletics for Day
 To the men who are going to the camps, perhaps the athletic contests in the afternoon will af- ford the greatest interest, inas- much as they will soon be partici- pating in the same work under the finest and the most highly trained and developed athlete sin the country. The handsome med als which are going to be award ed the winners in each contest have excited much curiosity since they were placed on exhibit and the keenest sort of competition is anticipated in each of the many events.
 Baseball
 The ball game, too, will carry an added interest for these men. Not much news filters across the waters these days from the Sam mies," but the stories which do come back usually contain some mention of a baseball game play ed under fire. Perhaps. in a few months more, some of the onlook- CTS in Mondays game will be chasing flies themselves on a shell-scarred field in France.
 But everything is going to be interesting And everything is going to be we'll worth while. It is going to be a day long re- membered by those who go and by those who stay behind.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1-The summary dispersal by the police on the govern or's orders. of the meeting of the or ganization committee of the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Terms of Peace, here late today, added Illinois to the forbidden states of Min nesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota.
 Counselld to Stay.
 Seymour Stedman, local Socialist leader and chairman of the meeting, counselld the delegates, who number ed about 200. to stay in Chicago, pro missing a court order permitting the meeting would be applied for Monday. During the afternoon there were a number of groups in conference, but darkness fell without the tired advo- cates of peace knowing what was to be required of them. They were still belligerent, however, and some dele gates who suggested leasing an excur- sion boat and holding the meeting on Lake Michigan, were branded as lack ing the courage of their convictions. The council is said to have a large number of local chapters. but no na- tional organization to coordinate their that that Louis P. Lochner, executive secretary, sought a meeting place. It remains uniformed, for the police raid cut short the proceedings before the credentials committee had time to re- port.
 Governor Called.
 Governor Lowden's attention was called to the meeting by the Chicago chamber of commerce, which alleged the gathering was 'avowedly antago- nistic to our national purposes in the present world crisis"
 Meeting Dispersed.
 The governor, first ordered that troops keep the Situation in hand, then changed his mind and got Chief of Po- lice Schuetler on the long distance tel ephone. The latter sent w. H. West brook, assistant chief, with twenty men in automobiles to the auditorium where the meeting was in progress. The meeting was dispersed without disorder. The governor gave out the following statement:
 Charged With Order.
 ''The governor is charged with the responsibility of preserving peace in the state. If, in his judgment, disor- der and riot are likely to result from this co-called peace meeting, it is his duty and he has the power to prevent the meeting. His understanding is that while the meeting purports to be in the interests of peace, really it Is intended to obstruct the government in the prosecution of the war, and is calculated to produce disorder and rioting in Illinois. l can not, there fore, permit this meeting to be held in Illinois,
 Mayor Thompson did not see the sit uation as did the governor.

To the Citizens Of the Mountain Counties

We anxious that people know about the
Federal Aid that has been appropriated to State by the
Federal government for construction and improvement
Of public roads. This amounts to nearly 100000 and
is in the control Of the Sinking Fund Commission at
Frankfort Of which Governor Stanley is chairman. We
feel that should have portion Of this aid to COM
pete the small link in the great Dixie Highway that is at
present incomplete.
Our people must know that the Dixie Highway is
the first great highway laid of by the government in
State. 1t is either completed provided for from
Chicago Illinois, to Miami, Florida, except this short link
through East Kentucky This section has acted nobly by
voting bonds literally in comparison to taxable property;
but this inadequate to complete the road through this
naturally difficult territory.
II would be public calamity not to complete this
short stretch and thereby connect the North and the
South who have their portions practically completed
We believe that every patriotic citizen along the
route should his influence upon his Representative,
his acquainances in Office any other who may have
influence on this Sinking Fund Commission at Frankfort
and literally flood the Capitol with personal letters urging
the expenditure OF at least part OF the Federal Aid in
this needy section.
This must be done quickly before the fund is finally
distributed.
