the Southeast.
DR.. w. w. Alexander general re-

that this affords a splendid opportun-

"1"he Y. M q. A. needs men for

on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1000 men for

serve the soldiers in camps such as

JOHN ROBINsON's SHOWS

One of the leaders of the tent show
world that has done much to make
the circus so fascinating is John Rob
inson's announced to exhibit in John
son City on Friday September 20th.
In these troublous times the advent
of the circus will be hailed with more
delight than ever. There is no date
on the calendar of children, and
groWn-ups, for that matter, that is
half so red as circus day.
Every one should welcome the re-
taxation to be gained in spending
day with the elephants, a day prolific
with CLEAN and glitter, the blare of
bands, the quips of the clowns, the
smell of the sawdust and the lure of
the circus rings and spangles.
Be your arenic taste or preference
what il may, the John Robinson cir
Gus will present about every kind and
variety of circus amusement exant.
During its long, successful existence
the John Robinson circus has been
famous for the standard of
excellence of the many attractions
exhibited.
This season the offerings collect
lively are started TO be even more in
teresting and more novel and more
thrilling than ever before.
The big street parade is declared
by the press of other cities to be "a
revelation i'll street Dageantry." The
cayalcade, fully mile in length, will
reach The principal downtown streets
around Il a. III. Two performances
will be given at the usual hours and

EUGENE V. DEBS

Cleveland, o., Sept, 12.v-Eugene V.
Debs, charged with violating the es-

verdict Debs said;

or the original ten counts of the in
dictment but four remained when the
jury retired to consider the evidence.
The verdict found him guilty of three;
not guilty OF one. He was found
guilty of attempting to incite insur-
bordination, disloyalty, etc, in the
military and naval forces; attempting
to obstruct recruiting and uttering
language tending to incite, provoke
and encourage resistance to the Unit
ed States and to promote the cause
of the enemy,
The count on which he was adjudg-
ed innocent charged that he opposed
the cause of the United States.

hours, mostly spent in assimilating

counts. Spectators remained in the
court room throughout.

men have rolled over the complicated
defenses of the enemy all along The
line and thrust steel-shod jaw ou
into the territory behind the enemy
forces that hold the town. From tht
ether side, another American thrust
has carried the lines forward to meet
the bulge from the east and a grim
trap is being drawn about the enemy
forces that remain in the salient. II
WAS only twenty miles across the
mouth of the pocket and the reports
tonight showed that this had been
closed in to less than Is miles.
sss-sa
Through the narrow gap the Ger
man forces in the depth of the salient
must escape; and to withdraw with
out confusion that might turn the re-
treat into rout, they must shake
off the French forces which are bat
tering them all along the st. Nlihiel
front.
On the face of tonight's reports,
officers here believe there was good
promise that General Pershing might
succeed in closing the neck of the
bag and trapping a considerable force
The fact that the enemy was still Of
fering stubborn resistance in st. Mi
hiel showed there was a considerable
German force still in the depths of
the trap,
The American attack, as it now
shapes up, is a major action, it is said
and there is no doubt that strongest
American forces yet employed are en-
gagged. Possibly quarter of million
American troops either are in actio
or in close reserve.
Z To many officers, the action started
today is but the fore-runner of great
er blows to come. They anticipate
that General Pershing will follow up
without delay the clearing out of the
St. Mihiel salient with actions of
greater scope, probably directed to-
ward Metz. With such an advance, it
is said, French thrust from Verdun
and along the front between Verdun
and Rheims would go naturally and
the great movement TO force the en-
envy out of all northern France and
much of Belgium would be well un-
der way.

TACK ON APEX CITY

Washington, Sept. 12.- Sixteen
months OF vast war effort by the
United ststos reached its first goal
today when General Pershings forces
struck their first Independent blow in
France against the German army.
Reports tonight show that success
was meeting the American command
ers effort to fling the enemy out of
the sharp sailant thrust in behind the
fortress of Verdun in the first year of
The war. But Of even greater signifi-
canoe to government officials was the
fact that months Of ceaseless toll and
effort have now brought forth third
great organized army backed by its
own supplies and millions more sold
iers If needed, which has taken its
place beside The French and British
armies. and is striking for decisive
victory for democratic ideals.
Up to late hour no official report
from General Pershing had come. Gen
eral March, chief of staff, and his Of
ficers, were gathered about the great
war maps, however, tracing ont the
lines of the conflict from press ac-
counts as they were received. Presi-
dent Wilson himself visited Acting
Secretary Crowell during the afternon
and there is no doubt that he was told
just what General Pershing had ac-
complished and what might be expect
ed TO develop from this blow
First reports Wefe vague. They were
told merely that the American army
had launched an attack around the
ST. Mihiel salient, the only sharp
thrust toward the heart of France that
remained to the German leaders to
show for their offensive efforts since
the war began. 1t seemed possible
that the objective of the attack was
Metz, just beyond the German border
on the Mosselle river,
Later accounts made it clear, how
ever that for his first blow. General
Pershing had determined to employ
the pincer tactics Marshal Foch has
now used with repeated success in
putting the foe back from the Marne

Almost due south of the war-wrecl
