MANNIX
DEAD IN FRANCE
rGreenville Aduncate ]

The sad news came to Greenville on
Thursday, the 3rd, that Emmett Mannix,
son of Henry Mannix, of Fl. Recovery,
had been killed August in France while
in battle.
The word came from Congressman
Ben Welty, in the form of telegram to
Attorne ~ Geo. w. Mannix, jr., a cousin
of the deceased.
Some days ago a report was printed
that Ernest Mannix had been killed in
battle. The name being similar to EN-
met, the relatives of the deceased became
alarmed and had Congressman Welty
take up the matter with the War Depart
ment at Washington, and Thursday the
telegram came that Emmet Mannix was
dead.
This hero met his death while in bat
tie against the Hun in the St. Mihiel
salient. He was shot down by German
shell in a charge againt the German
trenches. Young Mannix had been with
Co. a, 3Sth Infantry. The 38th had seen
much service around Metz.
Young Mannlx was one Of the most
patriotic young men that has ever left
this vicinity. He was editor OF the Fl.
Recovery Journal. When the war broke
out he leased his plant and enlisted in
the service. He had been in the thick
of the fighting in France since the Amer
ican army began major operations over
there. He was son of Henry Mannix,
the well known contractor of Fl. Re-
covery.

world DESTINY
UP TO WILSON"
Governor Cox Pays Glowing
Tribute to the President

The special correspondent of the To-
ledo News Bee has the following to say
of Gov Cox's address in this city We'd
nesday:
Brushing aside the dramatic oppor-
tunities to stir the world with a curt re-
joinder of the kaiser's peace proposal,
President Wilson has, with force and
dignity, pointed out to the German peo-
pie the way to peace, " Governor Cox
told large audience gathered for a Lib
erty Loan meeting at Celina on Wednes-
day.
The Governor paid stirring tribute to
The President, pointing out that the
fate of nations and peoples for the next
hundred years is ofbe charted by him. "
The pride of Americans has been
quickened by the astonishing military
strength of the nation and by the gallant
conduct of our troops III the field who
snatched victory from the jaws of defeat,
and now America is proud because in
the greatest diplomatic maneuvers in the
history of the world cur president stands
out as the master mind, and the unwav-
oring, courageous spirit, " Goveanor Cox
said.
"At no time has he been carried away
by the dramatic impulse. He held to
peace just as long as it could be preserv-
ed with honor and then he moved, dec
laring war and bring ng about the mar
velous organization of the industrial and
military strength of the nation, with
million and half overseas long before
his critics thought II possible to have
one third that many there. He turned
the tide at Chateau Thierry, sheltered
France from the blow of Prussianlsm
and saved civilization.
Now, with our enemy practically ad-
mitting defeat, the President exhibits
the same steady, careful qualities of
craftsmanship Faced with a situation
that the dramatic would have seized up
on for blood-stirring, pyrotechnc deh-
ance to the kaiser, he acts with force but
dignity. He invites the kaiser as an
earnest of good faith to accept the inev-
table and withdraw his army to his own
dominion. Then and there, with the
military power of Prussia cowed and
crushed, peace will be negotiated for
the world.
The Presidents mind reveals two
outstanding resolves-frst, to procure a
Just peace by wiping out the military in
stitution which made war; second, TO
bring about the return of our soldier to
American homes at the earliest hour 1t
can be accomplished with honor to the
nation and safety to the world.
The destiny of the globe has by COM
mon consent been given into his hands.
The fate of nations and peoples for l0O
years is to be charted by him.
Rarely, if ever, has such service
been assigned by the Almighty to any
man. It's a glorious and happy hour
for America. "

COME TO GRIEF

Two women, giving their names as
Helen Weber and Mayme Hartman and
their place of residence as Toledo, were
arrested at the Courtright dry goods
store last Friday afternoon on the charge
OF shop-lifting, preferred by Allen Bos-
log OF the Rentzsch dry goods store. The
couple had previously visited the latter
place, where their actions caused suspi-
cion, and they we're followed to the in
terurban station when they left the place.
Here they entered the ladies' rest room,
taking large suit case in with them and
locked the door. They refused to open
1t, and when they did the loot had been
transferred to the suit case. They then
had 1t checked and retraced their sters
up town. In the meantime one of the
employs of the Rentzsch store, who had
followed them to the station, noticed
something protruding from the case and
enough was soon exposed to warrant a
search. An inspection of the rest room
also disclosed hangers on which gar
ments are displayed. This led to the
opening OF the suit case. Three suits
were found, two of which were identified
as garments from the Rentzsch store.
Marshal Duncan was Immediately no.
tilted and the arrest of the two women
followed. They were locked up. On
Tues ay they we're taken before Mayor
Morrow, when they waved examination
and were bound over to court. Their
bond was fixed at $1,000 each, which they
could not furnish, and they we're sent
back to Jail.

He was in the battle Of Cantgny,

Before getting into the army busi'

ARMY, Oct. 10.-The Americans are
thru the Kriemhilde line on a front of
six kilometers (nearla four miles.)
They have smashed the last organized
German defenses in this region, west of
the Meuse, and are advancing "orth-
ward with only natural detenses between
them and the Belgian froetier:
The Argodne pocket has been wiped
out by the junction of French and Ame-
ricans at Lancon. The Americans are

TEXT OF NOTE
To GERMANY

Washington, Oct. 9.-The text o
Secretary Lansing's communication
relative to the peace proposals o
the central powers, which was handet
to the charge of Switzerland here
follows:
"Sir-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge, on behalf OF the
president, your note of Oct. 6, en-
closing the communication from
the German government to the
president; and | am instructed
by the president to request you
to make the following communi-
cation to the imperial German
chancellor:
Before making reply to the
request of the imperial German
government, and in order that
that reply shall be as candid and
straightforward as the moment
Gus interests involved require,
the president of the United
States deems it necessary to as
sure himself of the exact mean
ing of the note of the imperial
chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor
mean that the imperial German
government accepts the terms
laid down by the president in mis-
address to the congress of the
United States on Jan. last and
in subsequent addresses and that
its object in entering into dis
cussions would be only to agree
upon the practical details of their
application?
THE president feels bound to
say with regard to the sugges-
tion of an armistice that he would
not feel at liberty to propose
cessation of arms to the govern
ments with which the government
of the United States is associated
against the central powers so
long as the armies of those pow
ers are upon their soil The good
good faith of any discussion
would manifestly depend upon
the consent of the central powers
to withdraw their forces every
where from invaded territory.
"The president also feels that
he is justified in asking whether
the imperial chancellor is speak
ing merely for the constituted
authorities Of the empire who
have so far conducted the war.
He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point
Of view"
