PLACE OF MEAUx IN HISTORY
Little French City 10 Nearest Spot 10
Paris Trod by Germans In Their
Advance Of 1914.

The little French city Of Meaux, ear
Paris. has gained an immortal place
In history. 1t marks the high tide of
the German advance In 1914, the e
est spot to Paris where the Prussians
trod. Thus far the advance patrols
penetrated, and here they were re-
called to swing of In the great detour
that ended I'm retreat. Over Meaux
flashed the German Taubes, looking
down in puzzled misunderstanding at
the endless scurrying line of Partisan
taxicabs that bore the French Sixth
army to the front to save the city. 1t
was something new m transport, this
army In taxicabs, and the Germans,
accustomed to do all things by rule,
went so far astray as to interpret 1t
as a rush Of the people Of Paris to
surrender themselves to the invader.
Near Meaux you see one Of the most
significant things In Europe-the first
grave. Less than 80 kilometers from
Paris this unknown Frenchman fell.
Over his body is a bare oblong wire
fencing off a little white cross. There
r literally millions Of these rude
graves dotting the pleasant plains of
northern France, but this Is the near
est of them all to Paris itself. A little
farther and you find them scattered
more and more thickly, and now some
of them are capped by black crosses
instead of white. to mark the spot
where a Prussian lies. And over the
bodies of German and Frenchman the
lush crops are crowding In. for this
section Of France Is being intensively
cultivated as no region has been be-
fore.
A few kilometers northward and
eastward Is the first OF the great o
uments raised over a common grave,
where the dead lie by hundreds. The
French engineers have erected many
of these. They tower up in the fiat
land as the memory Of those who lie
below will tower in the minds Of fu-
ture generations. The wheat may rus
tie green about them and the traffic Of
peace flow by, but the countryside will
be forever hallowed by the memory Of
a crisis when nameless men laid down
their lives wholesale that a nation
might live.

Two friends met recently In Flan-
ders. Dan DAILY was one of the
friends. He used to be an advertising
man In Brooklyn and elsewhere. Just
before the war began he was In Ger
many, ~look-seeing. One night there
was a grand party In Frankfurt-am-
Main. Nora Bayes was there and one
or two other Americans and Arthur
Blaut, who owns the largest tannery
In Germany. He tans most Of the
leather for one of the great English
firms. Next day Blaut and DAILY went
out in Blaut's car and saw the town.
Then they said good-by.
"we were out gathering up the
wounded" said DAILY, "when I heard
my name called. There was a German
soldier with a smashed arm.

John James of Oil Trough, who is with the American army in France, and who WE reported missing in ac- tion and was thought to have been captured by the Germans, about five weeks ago, has been found in Red Cross hospital
 James was gassed when the Ger mans made a raid on the Americans, and having failed to show up it was thought that he had been captured. It developed later that he was res cued by comrades and sent to hos pital where he was accounted for a few days ago.
 It is reported that he is recover ing slowly and will probably not be able to return to the trenches for a few weeks.

These are the first obstacles that must be removed by the secretary. Our or ganization cannot achieve it's full measure of success unless it has the confidence of the community, and the sympathies of the community fully aroused to it's undertakings.
 ssThe object of our organization is to foster protected and advance com mercial, industrial and civic inter ests; to bring out our natural invi- ronments to the highest stage of usefulness, and attractive develop ment and to promote progressive thought and action in all that will make for an enlightened, contented and prosperous community.

Newport daily independent., 1918-08-16

Being asked by the Independent for statement for publication, c. l.. Mariner, business manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has the fol- lowng to say, which we ask every citizen of Newport to read:
 q am greatly delighted with the apparent prospects with which I will have opportunity to deal in Newport and Jackson county. Those of our people whom have met present type of citizenship any community should be proud to own. While yet unfamiliar to a great extent with To- cal conditions, and having yet many details to work out before can become actively established and in working order, L am certain that within a few weeks, supported by the combined forces of the commun- ity, the Chamber of Commerce will be placed on high plane and engag- ed in concerted effort to fill every mission of such an organization.
 Practically every incorporated city and town in the United States has commercial organization whose object it is to advance the interest of it's city. In the aggrigate this is a tremendous factor in the progress to- ward national betterment. There is scarcely anything that cannot be done or accomplished by we'll organ ized and intelligently directed com munity effort Experience would seem to teach that nothing can stop the driving power of community ! that is well organized, knows what it wants, and in agreement as to how to get it.
 Community organization has a purpose far beyond the dollar mark. While occupying itself with stim- ulating trade and improving condi- tions under which business is con- ducted, it also and to an equal, if no greater degree, directs it's attention to the human and aesthetic sides of life.
 'It is not enough that business should prosper. It is equally impor- tant that the conditions under which it shall prosper shall be of the best. | "Who can measure the effect of
 
 l such disinterested public service upon the character that broadens the wis ion of those who work together in the ranks with an eye single to commun- ity welfare and without thought of personal reward except as partic- ipant in the good that comes to all. 1 "In every community there are people who have no sympathy for or 1 confidence in the local community I organization.

 Amsterdam, Aug. 16.-The Don Cossacks have cleared the left bank of the Don river and are marching victoriously on Zaragin, says an off cial statement issued by the Don Cos sack staff received here from Kiev.
 The Cossacks have consistently re- fused to recognize the Brest-Litovsk treaty and are implacable in their hostility to the Teutons and the Bol- sheviki. Officials here suggest the conduct of the Cossacks is significant of the support which the inter-allied army will receive from various fac tions in their efforts to aid Russia in the east.

 Allied pressure was effectively re- newed this morning against the Ger man line in the region of Rove on the Picardy front, and while the enemy is clinging determinedly to the town of Rove, his prolonged tenacity on the place is doubling. London last night reported the British lines were ad- vanced northwest of Rove. Today a Paris dispatch reported the French made forward movemnt on front of two and half miles. Rove is be- coming the virtual apex of the sa- lient which soon will invite a crush ing allied stroke if pressure is main tained. Elsewhere in Picardy fight ing is confined to local actions. Ap- parently an enemy withdrawal move ment in the Hebuterne sector north of Albert has been accomplished. It is not yet clear how far the enemy has retired. The Germans still hold
