Sensible Action on Subsidy The county commissioners have acted very wisely in refusing to call township elections to vote on the enormous subsidies asked by Eugene Purtelle for his proposed Hamilton and Richmond interurban line. They have saved the townships involved a useless expenditure of money for election expenses as the voters would never have ratified such an outrageous dip into the public treasury. Purtelle, after realizing what action the commissioners would take, made a proposition to give the townships of Wayne and Boston, $100,000 and $10,000 in six per cent preferred

stock in return for voting the subsidies he wanted. Aside from the fact that his record locally would be in better odor had he made this a part of his original proposition, the voters of these respective townships are not very apt to be carried off their balance by the promise of such securities. The age of subsidies for privately owned public utilities is over in all well settled and long established communities. Promoters of any standing have no difficulty in interesting the big investment bankers in any meritorious proposition. Philadelphia has become the financial center for investment bankers who underwrite traction propositions. If Mr. Purtelle has any standing in the traction promotion world he would have no difficulty in securing the necessary financial backing for the Hamilton and Richmond line, providing the Philadelphia bankers were satisfied as to its feasibility. , If the Philadelphia bankers were approached

Centerville Mrs. Cora Wilson and daughter Thelma, and Mrs. Todd of Brownsville, were guests of Mrs. Wilson's sister-in-law Mrs. Frank Buhl and family Thursday. Mrs. Parrott and Mrs. Emma Beitzell spent Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Cora Demossonette. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Demoss are spending the week Visiting her parents in Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Will Demoss have taken up their residence on the farm south of town during their son's absence. Mrs. Will Kempton and son, Forest Kempton, have returned home from a visit with her brother, Willard Elwood, in Virginia and other points in the east. The M. E. Sunday schools of Centerville and Greensfork held a joint picnic at Jackson's park Thursday. Both schools were well represented. Mrs. Allen Cotton of Indianapolis, is the house guest of Mrs. E. A. Haworth. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Stevens and family motored to Muncie Wednesday and FRENCH LAUNCH NEW (Contiuued from Page One.) officers of his staff were shot dead by the r.U'i) of General Leman but the ltur escaped over a foundry wall with the help of giant soldiers of his body guard. Several rifles were emptied aftr General Leman, but all missed." Detailed bodies of German scouts have penetrated far into French soil near Dinard. Their method is to ride to an objective point, usually a small city, in small bodies, so to avoid attracting attention of the French. Afte a juncture has been formed the G i mans attack the city with the objer, of destroying it. Numerous attacks i. this kind have been made, but only . few of tbem have been successful. large detachment of German Uhlanhave concentrated in the woods north of r'tvni. and the French are sur rounding them. Working South. The Germans operating around Liege have begun to feel their way south. This has been shown by the fact that a number of skirmishes have occurred between detachments of German and French cavalrymen east of Namur. The Germans mainly pinned their faith to dirigible balloons while the Belgians and the French are relying upon aeroplanes. A belated dispatch gives an account of a battle in mid-air between a Zeppelin dirigible and a Belgian aeroplane during the early stages of fighting at Liege. The German airship had been sent over Liege to make a reconnaisance. As soon as the balloon was sighted by the forts a Belgian aviator was sent, in pursuit. The aviator, equipped with a rifle and automatic pistol, set out in a swift and powerful monoplane. The Belgian disdaining the use of firearms, drove his machine against the gas bag of the big balloon, risking his own life in an attempt to send the dirigible to earth. The bag was punctured nnd the Zeppelin dropped useless and helpless. , Germans Held Back. After the destruction of this Zeppelin, the Germans did not risk any more of their balloons over the city, but contented themselves with sending dirigibles skyward over their own lines to secure information about the enemy. In order to prevent troops from attacking their allies, the French and Belgian governments have printed designs of all the uniforms worn by Belgian, British and French soldiers. There have been demonstrations against Emperor William and Crown

by Mr. Purtelle they would first have his proposition gone over by expert engineers before they invested a cent. Yet Mr. Purtelle evidently expected the voters of Wayne and Boston townships to vote him $110,000 "sight unseen." That Wayne and Boston townships voters are not such "boobs," as Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford would call them, is shown by the sane action of the commissioners, in perfect accord with the well known sentiments of a majority of the voters, in refusing to call the elections. Even if Mr. Purtelle had been voted the subsidies he would be unable at this time, no matter how high his standing in the traction world, to obtain the rest of the money necessary to finish the line. Our country is going through an extremely serious readjustment period on account of the outbreak of the greatest war in the history of the world. This war will not be over in a month nor in a year. It marks the beginning of a terrific struggle for world mastery between the greatest nations of the earth. At such a 'time investment bankers the nation over are conserving their resources and protecting investment already in existence. They are not figuring on going into any new enterprises nor will they until conditions are far more settled than at present. Mr. Purtelle has to build his proposed road with borrowed money. During war times the interest rates on money are always at the highest. Therefore if the Purtelle road were by some inconceivable means to be pushed through to completion by 1916, it would be at the expense of very high fixed charges for the capital borrowed. This would in turn mean high freight and passenger rates for the communities dependent on the proposed road. And that would not be a good business proposition for those communities. The voters of Wayne and Boston townships have no more reason to part with their cash in enormous subsidies at this time than the investment bankers of Philadelphia. They need to conserve their resources as much as the biggest financiers during such times of world war. Therefore, Mr. Purtelle will undoubtedly be better off financially if he exercises his foresight at this time and doesn't push expensive preliminary operations that are inevitably bound to remain in the preliminary stage only for several years.

Sunday, by """ wmm. tt.99: alx msstha, laaiaaa, aaSo Gleanings spent the day with Mrs. Steven's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shriner and family. Miss Gladys Stevens, who has been gone for the past two weeks returned home with them. Miss Elizabeth Starr of near Richmond was the Sunday guest of Miss Mabel Revellee. Burley Jordan 'moved to Richmond yesterday. Three classes of the Christian Sunday school held enjoyable meetings this week. The Intermediate class taught by Mrs. Lenna King and Rev. Chamness held a delightful moonlight picnic at Jackson park Wednesday evening. The Junior Girls class taught by Mrs. Ada Darnell was pleasantly entertained bv Mrs. A. J. Mr. Kinney Thursday afternoon. The Star class taught by E. M. Bowers spent a delightful evening on the lawn at tne nome or Mr. anc Mrs. Walter Matthews of East Plumb street. The lawn was beautifully decorated with garden flowers and Japanese lanterns. Refreshments of ice cream and cake and punch were served by the hostess. Prince Frederick William in the German capital, acording to a dispatch printed in Le Figaro today. This dispatch was received from Brussels and was based upon a story told there by two foreigners who arrived in the Belgian capital from Berlin. The militarists cried "Down with the emperor" and "Down with the crown prince" on Unter Den Linden, the principal street of Berlin, but they were soon silenced so tremendous was the sentiment for war in Germany. Paris Rejoices. All Paris is rejoicing over the successful invasion of Alsace. The following proclamation was isMid today by the French commander, '.cneral Joffero: "After forty-four years of waiting, "rench soldiers once more tread the ;oil of your noble country. They are 'ioneers in a great work of revenge. What emotions it calls forth in these! What pride to complete the work they have begun at the sacrifice of their lives! "The French nation urges them on, and in the folds of their flags are inscribed the magic words, 'Right and Liberty! Long Live France.'" Spy System Effective. The efficiency of the German system of military espionage has been revealed through the discovery that posters advertising a certain foodstuff product of Germany were intended as guides for the German army invading France. The Germans have evolved a scheme whereby German army officers will know the location and strength of French forts and army depots. French soldiers tore down' the posters, destroying the guidepost of the Germans. Even women, among the sympathizers of the German cause, are imperiling their lives to gather information for the German army. Some of them ! have disguised themselves as Sisters of Charity and have applied to the-war department for permission to accompany the French forces as nurses. Three martial courts have been instituted here and a number of these spies have been tried, but their fate has been kept secret. The courage and enf f 1 1' 1 Y' 1 L' ."i ilnnln...

Bishop Arthur Foley Winn in gton-In gram of the diocese of London, who also is chaplain of the London rifle brigade, announced today that he will accompany the men to the front and will follow them wherever they go for at least a six week period. Farmers in the Philippines raised fifteen million bushels of corn last year valued at $12,300,000.

DANCER TO BECOME

FRENCH ARMY NURSE Isadora Duncan, the American dancer who, since the death of her two children in an automobile accident has devoted herself entirely to philanthropic work, has now volunteered to join the corps of army nurses to accompany the French fighting men, that is headed by Mrs. Clarence Mackay, the wealthy American. MEXICO TO FIGHT ADVANCE OF REBELS MEXICO CITY, Aug. 10. Following an announcement by Minister of War Velasco today that the government troops would oppose with all their power the constitutionalist marching on the capital, British residents were warned by Sir Lionel Carden to stay within their concentration section. The provisional government is active participating in the resistance, artillery is being mounted to sweep the streets if the rebels get in. Sandalwood trees in India are generally found at an altitude of two thousand to three thousand feet. A FALSE STANDARD OF CULTURE has gained ground in this century which looks upon the bearing and rearing of children as something coarse and vulgar and to be avoided, but the advent of Eugenics means much for the motherhood of the race. Happy is the wife who, though weak and ailing, depends upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore her to health, and when headaches and backaches are a thing of the past, brave sons and fair daughters rise- up and call her Messed. -(Advertisement)

British Citizens Well ; Treated by Germans

He said that he had no complaint to make of British citizens being Illtreated in Germany and declared that the United States ambassador was acting with vigor to protect the interests given to his care. A reporter who traveled with the Ambassador said newspaper men had been thrown in jail, although a number were sent out of the country and others compelled to furnish ironclad credentials. Frederick Werner, cor respondent for the International News Service, was among the few allowed to remain without question, he being a German subject. "There was no trace of war along our route," said a member of the am bassador's staff. "Every bridge Is heavily guarded.
