Attack Balloon Hangar. Two German aeroplanes made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy with bombs the dirigible balloon hangar at Belfort, France, which is S5 miles northwest of Basel, Switzerland. Germans Keep Up Advance. The advance of the German right in the direction of La Fere was admitted in an announcement made by the French ministry of war at Paris. The announcement said: "The progress of the German right wing has forced oar left wing to yield ground." The distance which the French troops have retired Is not made known. Even the place where the engagement took place is not definitely named. Destroy German Regiments. Another statement issued in Paris operatione^ias been obtained in Berlin from an official Austrian source: "In the Austro-Russian theater of war, a decisive battle has been in progress for several days. Our forces, which were victorious near Krasnik, pursued the Russians in the direction of LubUn. The Austrians advanced also into the enemy's territory be­ tween the rivers Bug and Wieprs, and frave taken positions in front of Zamosa. : . j , Forces Near Lemberg.

"The Austro-Russian battle front stretches for a distance of 700 kilo­ meters (420 miles)." A correspondent of the Berlin Tage- blatt at the Austrian headquarters, telegraphing under date of August 28 regarding the events subsequent to the defeat of the Russians at Krasnik, eays the Austrian army advanced in the di­ rection of LubUn with the object of making impossible the reunion of the Russian army of the Vistula with its right wing. This is the principal Rus­ sian army opposing the Austrians. Panic Spreads in Prussia. News received at Geneva from Ber­ lin " and Frankfort, where refugees continue to arrive from east Prussia, is to the effect that the terror of the refugees is .spreading to the towns along the railroad line and that a great exodus from them is expected shortly.

A regiment of the enemy's infantry, essaying to cross the Meuse, was almost annihila­ ted." German 8ea Loss 860. An official statement issued at Lon­ don says that of 1,200 men composing the crews of the five German warships sunk off Heligoland only 330 were saved. Twenty-nine killed and 38 wounded was the price in men paid by the Brit­ ish for the victory. The correspondent of the London Express at The Hague wires his paper that Emperor William has gone to the Russian front The Rome Meesagero publishes a telegram from Sofia, Bulgaria, which says the Austrians have suffered an irreparable defeat at Zamosc, a city of 12,000 inhabitants Just over the border in Russian Poland, 50 miles southeast of Lublin. Zamosc is a fortified town in the Province of Lublin, on the Wieprz. It was laid out in 1588 in the Italian style by Jan Jamojski, and all its houses have arcades. Its fiqe castle, the four churches, the arsenal and the town house are its chief buildings. Its principal industry is the manufacture of furniture. Germans Take 30,000 Captive. it was officially announced at Ber­ lin that about thirty thousand Russians had been taken prisoners by the Ger­ mans during the fighting in east Prus­ sia, particularly at Ortelsburg, Ho- henstein and Tannenburg. They in­ clude many officers of high rank. The German attack at these three points was across swampg and lakes. Austrians Advance on Lublin. The following account of Austrian s to Slay. the value of all by-products. For every soldier killed in battle about four are wounded. Hence part of the ex­ panses placed against the dead may fairly be subtracted and credited to the Injured. The chief aim in a battle is not to kill an enemy, but to wound him. A badly wounded soldier can do no more fighting than a dead one, so that, as an offensive measure when one sol­ dier shoots another through the leg he gets rid of an enemy as effectually Tao front Kiauchau bay. Germans Shell Jap Ship. A Japanese torpedo boat destroyer went ashore on Lieu-Tan island during a fog in the night When the fog cleared the Tsing Tao batteries at­ tempted to shell the destroyer, but the latter proved to be beyond their range. The German gunboat Jaguar, how­ ever, steamed out of the harbor and fired eight shots into the stranded war­ ship and returned unmolested by the Japanese vessels blockading the port. The Jaguar reported the crew had abandoned the stranded stroyer, which can be seen from Tsing Tao breaking on the rocks. Four Japanese destroyers and jane cruiser now form the blockading squadron. Germans List Losses. The twelfth list of German losses was made public at Berlin Tuesday. It contains 1,006 names. The total of German casualties made public up to the present time is as fol­ lows: 1,143 dead, 3,326 wounded, and 1,761 missing. As an evidence of the enthusiasm of the German people in the war It la announced that 2,000,000 volunteers have presented themselves for serv­ ice. Baron Kurt von Lersner, second sec­ retary of the 'German embassy at Washington, has reached Berlin by way of Gibraltar. He ran great dan­ ger at Gibraltar of being arrested by the British and detained during the war. Nothing has been heard here of Lieutenant Baron Horst von Lersner, a brother of Baron Kurt, and also at­ tached to the German embassy at.the American capital. Malls from the United States, which during the first days of the war accu­ mulated on the frontiers, are now be­ ginning to be distributed. as if he had hit him in the heart But he does really better for his own cause, since a wounded man at once becomes a much greater burden to his own comrades than is a dead soldier. The latter needs no more care, but the former must be helped to a field hospital, doctored and nursed. The army worm seems to have re­ tired from the field. The spectacle of what humanity can do in this line evidently disgusted him. • Gunfire Louder The sound of gun fire carries far and the thunder of a big battle travels farther than the thunder of the clouds. > Sometimes the booming of gune over ^iand or sea has been mistaken for " thunder and often when men are nerv­ ously listening for the sound of war, t launder is mistaken for cannonading. Sometimes the Imagination plays a prominent part in the case. When Ad­ miral Cervera's fleet was at sea bound west from Spain during the war be- . tween that country and the United Than Thunder. ̂ States certain persons with super­ sensitive ears heard firing at sea in many places where no firing was. From Mole St. Nicholas there came numerous messages of heavy cannon­ ading far out at sea. Before and directly after the open­ ing of hostilities between Germany and the'allies persons knowing that French, British and German cruisers were not far off the 6oa*i or the United States reported the sound of cannonading at sea. Many people in the coast towns of England reported hearing firing in parts of the North sea where no ships were fighting. Per­ haps, as coming events cast their shadows before, they also cast their echoes before. s But the sound of the booming guns goes far. During the siege of Paris the sound of the German guns was heard at Dieppe, 90 miles away. One of the historians at Waterloo vouches for the statement that the roar and din of that wonderful battle was h^ard 126 miles from the firing line.

Samuel V. Stewart In consequence of the dyna­ miting and destruction of the two- story employment office of the Ana­ conda Copper Mining company. Governor Stewart also has urgently requested the president to order fed­ eral troops from Vancouver barracks to Fort Missoula or Fort Harrison. Governor Stewart also wired Senators T. J. Walsh and Henry L. Myers, urg­ ing them to present the situation to President Wilson and secure by all means the presence of a federal force <of soldiers within easy distance of Butte. At the present time there are no federal troops In Montana. The city is quiet, although the feel­ ing is tense. The streets are black with miners who do not believe what is regarded as a rumor around town that the mili­ tia has been ordered to Butte. The newspapers are carefully refraining from giving any publicity to Governor Stewart's mobilization order, for fear the news may Incite rioting and loot­ ing, and further destruction of prop­ erty. # , The offering of a retard of $10,000 by the Anacbnda company for informa­ tion of dynamiters indicate the seri­ ousness with which the mining com­ panies view the situation, and armed guards are patrolling the mines and and commanding the approaches. The mining companies issued a state­ ment warning everybody to keep away from the mines, the intimation being conveyed that the properties were un­ der guard and ready to meet any at­ tack. Two machine guns are in pos­ session of the mining companies, it is said, and many hundred^ of rifles have been placed at the mines ready for im­ mediate use. The rifles have been brought from Salt Lake City and Spo­ kane, labeled "machinery" and have been lowered Into the mines for stor­ age. AIR BOMB FROM STEEL CAGE Zeppelins Kept High Out of Gun Range and Appendage With Man In It la Lowered. London, Aug. 28.--The method used by Zeppelin airships in dropping bombs has been described as follows by an English refugee, who has Just arrived here from Belgium. The dirigible hov­ ered over Its objective at a sufficient altitude to keep it out of range of the enemy's guns. At the same time it lowers a steel cage attached to a steel wire rope 2,000 or 3,000 feet long. This cage is divided into compart­ ments and it carries one man, whose duty it is to throw down the bombs. The cage is sufficiently strong to make rifle fire against it ineffective and be­ cause of its small size and the fact that it la kept constantly in motion it la very difficult for heavy guns to hit It JAILER KILLS A MOB MEMBER 8hoots Into Crowd at Paris, Ky* to Prevent Lynching of Negro Prisoner. Paris, Ky., Aug. 31.--In defending a prisoner whom a mob attempted to take from the jail here City Jailer B. J. Farris shot and killed Eugene Hous­ ton, a prominent citisen. The mob had attacked the jail In an attempt to get a negro, Henry Thompson, who, after being caught robbing the home of Henry Mead, struck Mead with a hatchet, probably fatally injuring him.

England, Franca and Germany Be­ stow These Testimonials of Deeds of Daring Performed by Of- .<> fleers or Private* By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.--Some of the soldiers of England, Prance and Germany in the present war unquestionably will win the crosses of honor which are the most coveted decorations which gov­ ernments give for acts of conspicuous personal gallantry in the face of the enemy. To Americans perhaps the Wench Cross oI the Legion of Honor and the Victoria Cross of England are more familiarly known than are the decorar tlons given by Germany. In the United States we have the Congressional Medal of Honor which is given by con­ gress for Individual deeds of daring In the field. The intrinsic Value of any of these badges Is about one cent, and yet for the privilege of wearing them soldiers seem always ready to tread Gray's "paths of glory " The French decoration was first granted under Napoleon in the early part of the present century; the Vic­ toria Cross was instituted during the Crimean war and the American medal of honor was first struck off to reward acts of heroism performed during the Civil war. The French crosB may be won by civilians; the English and American crosses are pinned only upon the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In the armies of ali three nations officer and private, peasant and prince, have equal chances of wearing that which nothing but attested bravery can buy. The first Victoria Cross granted for bravery in the South African war was given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Gar- don Highlanders for conspicuous gal­ lantry at the battle of ElandBlaagte. A perusal of the Gazette list which tells something of the deeds for which the ^Victoria Cross has been awarded shows that fully one-half of the most striking exhibitions of heroism have been shown by men whose shoulders bore no insignia of rank. One English publication states that with perhaps one exception the bravest thing ever done by a British soldier was the act of a drummer boy. That drummer boy, if living, la now a man seventy-two years old, and for 67 years of that time he has been wear- ing the Victoria Cross, and has had the right to write V. C. after his name. This boy in the year 18S7, amid a shower of shot and shells, fastened bags of gunpowder on the gates of Delhi. He carried death In his arms that day and met it In other forms all along his way. Others helped him and were killed; he lived and wore the cross. It was another British drummer boy who, while acting as a field bugler for Lord Napier of Magdala in the Abye- sinian war, left the general's side and dashed first into the stronghold of "Theodore the Tyrant" ' When It Mattered. He--If you refuse me, I shall dwi love anyone else as long as I live. She--That's very well, but suppose I accept you. What then?".

BEYOND THE ORIENTAL MIND Present Craze for Dancing Is Some­ thing Indians and Japanese Do Not Understand. • A feature of the London season Is the revival in dancing; people are now interested not only in watching the professional stage dancer of either sex but in dancing themselves. In­ dians and Japanese alike express their astonishment at the European prac­ tice of rushing about in ballrooms. Addition to Bavaria's Wealth. More recent Investigations Indicate that the graphite deposits in the vi­ cinity of Passau, Bavaria, may be a source of great wealth to the country, and also one of the main graphite sup­ plies of ther world. Nassau Is a plo- turesque toitn, situated on a tongue of land formed by the confluence of the Danube and the Inn rivers. It lies near the Austrian border and owes Its Importance to the Danube navigation. 'Passau graphite has been utilized for Jl^yerfil centuries and crucibles made f ' - ' ^ To the Oriental mind dancing Is something that Bhould be done pro­ fessionally, to amuse the host and guests looking on. They cannot com­ prehend men and women dancing to­ gether as partners, except as a scheme for flirting. The Japanese artist Yoshlo Marklno recounts that he was frankly ama*ed when his host, who was "an old man of about sixty," told him that he was going to a ball, and that he was go­ ing because he loved dancing. "Ami with whom do you dance," the of it were used by the alchemists of the middle ages. The price is con­ stantly rising, not by reason of specu­ lation, but because the more available supply Is being gradually exhausted. •-- i Child Labor In Britain. England and Wales still have thou­ sands of child laborers between the ages of ten and fourteen In all the in­ dustries carried on in the cities. Four­ teen is the nominal minimum legal limit practically everywhere in the United States. Japanese Inquired, "with your own wife or with some other old man?" To which the English gentleman re- plied: "Not quite necessarily," and ex­ plained that he preferred dancing with girls, whereupon the Oriental com­ ments: "What a madly flirting nation they are, these English! - They flirt until they die I" Women are always ready to kiss and make up--but they usually make up before they kiss. Avoid Premature Hardening. If we attempt to harden our chil­ dren during the periods of rapid growth, the consequences may be dis­ astrous. These periods of rapid growth are between the fourth and the fifth, the ninth and the tenth and the thirteenth and the fifteenth years. The writer quotes Dr. Alois Strasser, who says that hardening Is necessary, but that. In addition to the age of the child, his constitute should he considered, and the surface covering of his body related to hie weight. - > - . . T . : . ' J O ' - • • •
