OLDEST CIRCUS N =
WORLD is COMING

The oldest circus in the world
and the best today is coming to Paris
Friday, September 9th to present
two performances and street pa
rade, the equal if which was never
seen here before. This is the John
Robinson Circus. 1t is on its ninety
fourth annual tour of the American
continent For many years the cir
Gus did not visit the east, the terrific
ry of the west, Canada and Mexico
furnishing its ranging grounds.
The John Robinson Circus is the
evolution of diminutive show that
started long befo1e the Civil war.
1t kept pace with the times, however,
and today it is larger and grander
than ever before. When circuses
first started to tour America, the
John Robinson Circus was the col
lege from which circus folks gradua-
ted. Being the first in the field it
invented nearly all the odd equip
lnent which makes moving daily a
possibility.
The John Robinson Circus has al
ways prided itself on its management
and today it carries three herds of ele-
plants and the grandest collection OF
animals in America. The perform
ance is presented by the pick of the
circus world. On show day tickets
will be on sale at Trevathan's Drug
Store at the same prices charged at
the show grounds.
We are authorized to state that
this circus will positively give fine
street parade.

Prisoners Say Germans Will Not

Prisoners taken today by American
troops in the region of Cheautau du
Diable, to he west of Fismes, said
they had been ordered to keep in

along the Veslie river. The German
retreat north of the Marine River had
been carried out in an orderly man.
ner, they declared, hence German
soldiers believe it to have been pre-
meditated and a tactical maneuver
intended to eliminate an awkward
salient.
{ The general impression among
German soldiers, the prisoners said,
was, now that SO many powers had
combined against Germany, that it
was not possible for Germany to win,
yet the Entite Allies would never be
able to enter Germany because the
Germans had seen too much Of the
destruction in France to permit of
Germany suffering in similar man.

The prisoners saiw Germany would
be defended to the last man. If that
did not suffice an immediate peace
must invert an invasion. The Ger

had fought with freshness and en-

APPROVES PLAN FOR
TRAINING CORPS
Details Announced for Schooling
Men as Officers and Technical
Experts.

The following statement is au-
thorised by the War Department;
By order of Secretary of War,
Gen. Preyton c. March, Chief OF
Staff, has approved a plan for the
organization of a student Army
training corps, in the educational in
stituions of the country to train men
as officer sand technical experts in
Army. The plan for the student Ar
my training corps, as altered to con
form to the plans of the War De-
partment for lowering the draftage,
will utilize the plant,equipment, and
organization of the colleges to main
tain a reserve of officer material for
training. from which it will be pos
sible to inset the enlarged needs OF
the various branches Of the service.
Length of Training Period
The length of time during which
men will be trained in the colleges
will depend upon the needs of the
service. AS fast as one group of
trained men is drawn from the col
leges into the service their places
will be taken by new quota obtain
ed by voluntary induction or through
the draft. In this way the education
al facilities of the country will be
used to maintain constant supply
Of men who are trained to meet the
needs of the Army.
Under the regulations provided
for the students Army training corps,
selected young men who are physic-
ally fit for military service, who are
IL years of age or over, and who have
had a grammar school education,
may voluntarily be indicted into the
Army and enter upon course of
special training. Those who have had
grammar school education, but no
more, will ordinarily enter special
training detachment to be trained
along mechanical lines of military
value. These detachments will be-
come part of the student Army
training corps, and young men who
prove in the course of their mechani-
cal training that they are officer ma
terial may be transferred to a unit
of the college to be prepared to en-
ter central officers training camp.
Training for Officers.
Young men who have had at least
a high school education will be allow
ed to enter the colleges for more adj
vanced training than officers and as
technical experts of various kinds,
to their experience and
Their ability. Those men who show
promise under this training will be
kept in college until qualified to en-
ter central officers training camps
or to go directly into service as tech
meal experts. Those who do not will
be sent either to noncommis-
stoned officers schools or to the near

ENGLISH BISHOP ..
ALLOWS EXCUSE

London, August pa famous
/. English Bishop has endorsed the
use, by the Rev. Sam Leland, N.
r., Methodist preacher, of an excla-
nation rhyming with his first name
OF course the Bishop qualified his
endorsement. A. E. Hungerford, a
leader of the Y. M. C. A., party of
fifty secretaries who were on board
the Oronsa when that vessel was tor
pedoed while nearing England, told
the Bishop about the Rev. Sans out
burst. Three minutes after British
destroyer had picked up the survivors
of the Oronsa, the preacher APP
preached Hungerford and asked: .s
"Can man resign from the Y. M.
c. A., service at a time like this?"
Hungerford wondered, amazed, if he
had overestimated the man,
ITO enlist in the army?" replied
Rev. Leland.
,"Of course you may" replied Hun
gerford "There is no higher duty
or better work anywhere than as a
fighting man in the army"
Damned if don'tp exclaimed
the New York preacher.
When Hungerford told this to a
famous English Bichop, the latter
publicly declared that not only was
the language justified, but was abb
solutely necessary to meet the occa-
sion. Failing to get into the army,
Rev. Leland volunteered for trans
port work to be exposed constantly

IN LOVING MEMORY.

It was on a cold sad eve of Jan
uary "a, 1918, that the angels gath
cred around the bedside of Willie Dan
Hunt at Camp Gordon, Georgia, and
took away the suffering pains that
enwrapped his precious body. Al
though the pain was great, he bore
it with smile. How sad it was to
give him up! But we rejoice with
smiles to know his dear body is rest
ing and his spirit has SCARED on high
to live with Jesus, the Great Redeem
er, whe doeth all things for the best.
Weep not, dear mother, sister and
brothers, for Dan is at rest. And, oh!
how much it means to know he's so
much better off. Dan was loved by
all who knew him. He was always
kind and never had a harmful word
to say of any one. He is gone, but
not forgotten. His memory shall ever
linger; his sweet face shall never fade
from our imagination.
Dan is gone, but not forgotten,
Oh! how his sweet face fingers still;
But we give him up with pleasure
To know that it was Jesus will.
BY A FRIEND.

CERTAIN IMPORTS BARRED.
This Action Taken to Help the Allies
Shipping Problem.

Washington. d. c.. March 23.-The
first list Of imports TO be prohibited en-
trance into thic country in an effort to
conserve tonnage for prosecuting the
war was made public last night by the
war trade board under authority of Pres
ident Wilson's proclamation of Feb. 4.
which put all imports under license.
By denying permits for the importa-
tion of certain metals, foodstntfs and
Injuries which can be obtained here or
can be sacrificed to the greater need of
putting ships into war business, the
board expects to add 100000 dead
weight tons to the feet carrying men
and munitions TO Europe. Last nights
list of S2S articles or classes of articles
constitutes only those least essential
concerning which there was little argu-
ment Lists to follow will touch various
interests more closely and will not be
issued until after consultation with the
trades affected
The restrictions are not effective on
goods shipped prior to April Is. United
States consuls have been instructed not
to issue consular invoices on and after
April 10 for the articles mentioned in
the list without first being furnished
with the number of the import license or
being given other evidence of the issu-
ance of such license.
The obligation of furnishing proof is
placed on the importer.
In discussing the list, officials
stressed the fact that it was aimed a {
no country, but touched all alike which
exported any OF these articles to Amer
ica.
Some of the prohibitions will scarce
ly be noticed by anyone in this country
as they affect imports of which only
small percentage come from overseas.
One per cent of the imported agricul /
tural implements come in ships, ii was
pointed out, and the prohibition will |
mean little or nothing TO the consuming |
public, but will save an appreeiable |
amount of shipping space. Many of the !
prohibited articles are of bulky nature |
with their absolute weight, so |
hat the conservation actually will be |
greater than the figures indicate. The !
elimination of many long hauls also will /
serve TO increase TONNAGE facilities.
Pyrites constitutes the largest single
TEN on the list, contributing 207 900
o the total tonnage. Only those food
tufts were listed which can be dis
,ensed with and in many cases retained
more advantageously in the country of
'rigin. obviating a further drain upon
onnage to transport substitutes.
Breadstuffs. except wheat and wheat
Iour. all fruits. except bananas and pine

ept lentils. beans and peas, are on the
ist Luxuries which the public must
