Igerman army retreats BEFORE FRENCH ASSAULT (CONTINUES FROM PAGE ONE) situated town on the Meuse and with a population of about 8,000, was destroyed by the Germans within a few pours by fdiell and incendiarism yesterday and hundreds of inhabitants were kiilefi. The Germans alleged that non-combatants had fired shots into the town from the heights below which the town is located. London, Sept. B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The situation in the European theater of war is described in the following official statement issued last evening: "First. With some partial successes on our right in the Vosges, the situation on our center is unchanged, our forces alternately retiring and advancing in the region of Verdun. Second: The allies have advanced their left wing without energetic opposition from the enemy. Third: The advancing troops and the allies defending Paris have had several combats on the Ourcq river with tlie results in favor of the allies. London, Sept. B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The following extract was taken from the letter of a high German official who was invalided home, by a war correspondent; "The war is not going quite as we expected and the resistence of the allied force is extraordinary. We are beginning to feel nervous as to the results. Our losses are terrible, so terrible that the Emperor has forbidden their disclosure. Our generals have been wantonly wasteful with their men, who have been mowed down in thousands. While it is impossible to say what our losses are. I estimate them at between 350,000 and 400,000 men. If they continue at this rate we shall, be quite unable to meet the Russians with any hope of success.”

New York, Sept. B—(SpecialB—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —Denials of atrocities by German troops continued to con> in todaj’ when the passengers on the liner Rotterdam, which arrived yesterday from that city, signed statements to the effect that the reports that Americans had been ill treated were without the least foundation. "Travel through Germany as far as the extraordinary circumstances permitted was altogether safe as officials and all classes of people were, without exception, very friendly and helpful. No well authenticated atrocities were perpetrated by the German troops. All of the German official bulletins regarding the process of the war were in every case subsequently confirmed, thus the reports coming from English, French and Belgium sources proved false.” Petrograd, Sept. B—(SpecialB—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —The Russian forces in the vicinity of Lemberg and Galacia still continue in a number of serious engagements, w'hile the Austrian army in the direction of Kholm is rapidly retiring, having been repulsed by the Russian troops which have taken numerous prisoners, ammunition and artillery. It is reported that over 500 Austrians are in the hospitals suffering from dysentery, which is said to be ravaging in the ranks of the enemy. o- ■ ■ For Wayne & Springfield Ry. Company. TIME TABLE.

SHOE AND LEATHER PROSPECTS. 1 Reports from the New England shoe district are to the effect that the price of shoes will bo advanced because of the war. The Balkan war. it is said, had an effect on the shoe business by holding up much of the trade in kid and goat skins, which are a staple of that region, and the imports from that source have not been fully resumed. The war in Mexico interfered with tlie same class of shipments and now comes the European war to shut off the supply of cattle and horse hides from Russia and the neighboring sections, and to a large extent the means of transporting supplies that might be available. It is considered certain that the supply of leather will continue to grow less through this year and the next and already' a greater use of other materials for foot covering is being planned. As everybody knows, canvas shoes have been popular in summer for a number of years; velvet and satin shoes even for street wear for women have been in common use and it is expected that the manufacture of these will be increased. Cloth tops for shoes are not new. but the material generally employed has been imported from Germany, and is not now available, but American mills can probably produce it. Attention is being tunf'd, also, to imitation leathers, several varieties of which ar" used in upholstery. As its wearing qualities seem fairly good the shoemakers may experiment with it. This necessity for using other ma terials than leather for shoes may prove a benefit rather than an evil Leather is durable and can be mad" fairly waterproof, but it is practically impenetrable to air and incases the foot so closely as to be more or less injurious. Experiment may bring intc use a variety of lighter, better ventil ated shoes that will be more comfort able and healthful than thos? of leath er. Necessity is not onry the mother of invention, but is sometimes a bless ing.—lndianapolis Star. o PUBLIC SALE.

JOHN BULL and two wars of the PASTFrom 1861 to 1865 ,while the United States was torn by internal strife, the thrifty Britons garnered the commerce of the seas. The close of our Civil War found the biggest portion of ocean traffic which had been carried beneath the Stars and Stripes was being transported in British ships, and all British interests were profiting thereby. While the United States was occupied with war England had indeed mae herself Mistress of the Seas. Again during the Franco-Prussian War Great Britain experienced a period of remarkable trade expansionof wondreful prosperity. These are only two instances of modern times where a neutral nation has profited through the industrial inactivity of warring competitors. History holds many such. During the Napoleonic Wars America’s foreign trade increased fivefold. Today we must truly shoulder the World’s Work. Let’s get busy. There is a dollar harvest ready for the reaping.
