CITY PASSES MEASURE FOR

CEMENT

ROAD

Council Authorizes South Twenty-third Street Improvement Under ThreeMile Gravel Highway Bill. The improvement of South Twentythird (street Is now past remonstrance and in due course will be in the hands of contractors. , Council grudgingly gave its approval to the road plans of South rwentythlrd street last night with one dissenting vote and Mayor Robibns signed the resolution for the improvement. The body expressed itself voluably on the three mile road law, some inembers condemning and some upholding its workings. Mayor Robbins stated his objections to conditions of road improvement and summed up as follows: "Do not emphasize the tax question too much. If taxes represent everything, a municipal government can quit everything but actual existence and the taxes will go down. "It Is unfair to improve under the three mile road law so much in the township and so little in the city when the city pays 7-10 or 8-10 of the taxes necessary to pay for the improvements. Wants Full Width. "If improvements are held to onehalf the width of the road way under the law and the property owners pay for the strips along the edegs, we do do not want that kind of improvement. Let the roads be paved the full width and paid for according to some regular procedure." Attorney William H. Kelley spoke for the Twenty-third street petitioners at the opening of the session of council. He said the territory along the proposed improvement will be a well built up resident district ,in a few years. He also showed the large amount of rural territory accessible over the proposed paving. Kelley said the taxes would not be increased as a result of the improvement. He said the cost will not be excessive and can be taken care of easily. After the councilmen again discussed the improvement, a vote was called for. Elbert Russel was absent. There were ten votes for and one against the Dassaee of the resolution. Frank Howells. councilman from the fifth ward, registered the only dissenting vote. Favor Judicious Use. Council did not take action favorable or otherwise on the three mile road law but expressions seemed chiefly in favor of it, if judiciously applied. There seemed to be a strong dissension to the method proposed in a petition which is being circulated for the improvemnet of Northwest Third street and other West Richmond streets. In this petition, one of the councilmen pointed out, the petitioners ask tfcat eighteen feet in the center of the streets be improved under the three mile road law and that the remainder be left to the property owners. This is also the case in,a petition which is being circulated in Fairview for the improvement of part of Richmond avenue, Center street, Sheridan street and other of the important Fairview streets. It is said this petition is now of such strength that it will be impossible to overcome it. Councilman O'Neal proposed that the county commissioners abandon the present method of securing bids and awarding contracts for such work and Instead, announce the estimate of the engineer and pertnit the contractors to bid openly on The work, each one underbidding the other. Council Asks Estimate. City Engineer Charles was asked by a vote of council to make an estimate of the cost of macadamizing South Ninth street from E to H street and the cost of malting the street from H to the city limits. A report of the Mayor's cabinet committee of which P. C. Hubbard

representing the West Richmond Ini-1 pjv, ' ,: ' a i provement association, is chairman 1 n'laclplPnia 2 9 3 -was returned last night and referred; Ea"pries Harman and Gibson; Tinto the committee on public welfare.

taat 5,000 young trees with protecting guards be set out at places over the city where most needed. The committee proposes that the cost be charged to the property owners. Except for the expense of such a proposition council and the mayor were favorably impressed with the suggestion. Mayor Robbins spoke of the advantages of setting out young trees, beautifying the city and at the enu of a. few years, having something of great value as the result. Want More Trees. City Attorney Bond also spoke for a short time, saying that tree surgery is now recognized as much as human surgery and that the citizens of Richmond need someone to instruct them as to trimming trees. He said most citizens wanted more trees but never took the time to plant them. An amendment to the bill posting ordinance of 1895 was passed last night on suspended rules in order to permit the marking of the National road with signs. Special provision was made permitting signs designating the course of ancient historical thoroughfares to be used. Councilman Williams said that citizens were complaining that the street lights were not turned on early enough in the evening. Several councilmen demanded to know if the citizens in the residence districts wanted to see the lights on a moonlight night. Williams replied that they feel safer at night if they think the lights are on. The matter was dropped. Councilman Burdsall said some one was not doing his duty in enforcing the health ordinance on manure boxes. Mayor Robbins asked that affidavits be sworn out against citizens who disobey the law and warned-the councilmen that they must have strong evU dence to bring about a prosecution. F. I. A. TO MEET Consideration of the proposed road Improvements will come before the Fairview Improvement association at a special meeting tomorrow evening. Members of the association are working for the improvement of over two miles of roadway in Fairview under tnree mile gravel road law.

"The best rule a young fighter can adopt," says Kilbane, "is that of never overestimating his ability. Because he has had an easy time of it is no reason -why he should give every fighter a crack at him. One of the greatest mistakes of many managers is that of sending a boy against a man of greater experience.. A young fighter just gaining in confidence beaten by a more , experienced fighter is often broken in spirit and his career as a boxer snoiljed for himp

German Fleet and Navy Head

The German squaeiron of the high seas at full speed. The first cruiser is the Goben, which is followed by the Breslau. The insert picture is that of Grand Admiral Hans Ludwig Reismund von Koester, the supreme head of the German navy. Admiral von Koester was the Imperial delegate to New York's Hudson-Fulton celebration. At that time Von Koester said that another great war of the nations was impossible. The fleet, pictured above, is reported to have been bottled up in the. North Sea by the British. 1 .

GERMANS FALL (Continued from Page One.) mich for the surrender of the forts. Officials of the war office say that this reply was sent to4 the German Command : "The Belgians may die, but they will never surrender." "Iron Corps" In Action. Resumption of the battle indicates that the German forces have been reinforced by the Third Army corps, the "Iron Corps" numbering 40,000 men. If this is correct the Germans now have 160,000 troops operating against Liege. The main attack did not begin until dawn. An attack has been made upon Fort Seraing, south of Liege, where a sever conflict took place. In the darkness a German column was sent forward to take Fort Seraing at the point of the bayonet. The advancing troops were revealed, however, by the flashlights on the fort, and the Belgian artillery was turned upon the German troops. Bursting shells tore great gaps in the ranks of the advancing troops, but they continued to move forward, encouraged by their officers. The slopes leading to the glacis of the fort was quickly strewn with dead, the Belgian gunners having no difficulty to find the exact range under the glare of the searchlights. The ramparts were aflame, but the only sound which came from the Ger mans were the battle cry, "Onward with the Fatherland." 800 Germans Fall. It is estimated that at least 800 German soldiers showed wonderful gallantry. In the face of the terrific cannonades they moved forward , without faltering. It was necessary for the advancing troops to cross a bridge upon which some of the guns of the fort concentrated their fire. The structure, weakened by the salvoes, soon collapsed carrying hundreds of soldiers into the water beneath. The men who had succeeded in crossing before the bridge was torn away did not stay their advance, but moved steadily forward in the face of the withering fire. The vanguard gained the barbed wire abbatis in front of the fort and were tearing it away when the Belgian machine guns were turned loose. Troops Fell Back. The van of lie Germans was quickly swept away and the troops were compelled to fall back. At the head of 100 troops in the vanguard of the assault was Prince William of Lippe. His body was identified by the Belgians who left the fort after the Germans had retired to bury the dead. By the side of the Prince lay his son. Both had been killed in the machine gun fire. The bodies were buried with military honors, under the walls of the fort. The bodies of the Belgian soldiers that fell or were thrown into the river Meuse during the early stages of the fighting around the Liege forts, are now coming to the surface in large numbers below Fort Pontain, about five miles northwest of Liege. It was around Fort Pontain and the adjacent Belgian works that the Germans had concentrated their attack in the first three days of the fighting. The German military experts had concluded that the Belgian line of defense was the weakest at this point, but these conclusions were subsequently proved false. Forts Resemble Anthills. Fort Pontain, like the other fortifi cations around Liege, are likened to great iron anthills. The works are not extensive in size, so as to lessen the size of the tarket against which the enemy's guns might be directed. The muzzles of the Belgian cannon and machine guns project above smooth metal approaches, known as glacis. These had been greased with plumba go so that they could not be easily traversed by the infantry. The forts are built upon eminences which command the surrounding coun try. German artillery officers who directed the opening assault upon the forts had gone back to the days of Napoleon, nd had copied after the genius of the Corsican in their attack. Grand Assault Fails. Instead of trying to reduce the works with artillery the German officers decided to carry them with a grand assault under cover of a cannonade. The German soldiers fought with great courage, but their artillery was not heavy enough to make any impression upon the solid defense of the Belgians. The balls from the siege guns rattled harmlessly off the Belgian works doing practically no damage. Despite the futility of the artillery fire, the German infantry and cavalry continued their advance, the German generals hurling their men forward time after time under a storm of lead which left long rows of dead and dying. Soon masses of corpses were piled up along the slopes leading to the forts. One Belgian officer described the scene saying: "The dead are piled up like haystacks." Carnage is Awful. The carnage in front of Fort Pontain was frightful. The slopes were piled high with dead and the ground was soaked with blood. Few, if any modprn t' of eld". hav sbwn a scene o .frightful.

MONEY ORDERS STOP TO JAPANESE CITIES Mikado Advises United States to Hold Money Ordered Sent Here. BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Japan today notified the post office that money order service between Japan and the United States is postponed and orders made in the United States should be held here. This is regarded by officials as indicating that Japan expects to become involved in war and will not pay money orders. Hungary today notified the department to hold all international money order balances in her favor on this side of the water until further notice. American post offices may sell money orders to Hungary and accept the cash, but the money is to be held in this country. steel glacies of the fort. With yells of encouragement the German officers rushed forward toward the muzzles of the Belgian guns, believing that the cannon could not be swung low enough to fire upon them. But they had forgotten the machine guns. These deadly machines now began belching a hail of bullets which swept the glaices. Within less than twenty minutes, the glaices was swept clean. The metal was covered with dead and dying whose groans and screams of pain were heard in the fort above the roar of the cannonade. The metal ran with rivulets of blood, and torn bodies rolled and pitched in the last torment of death. During the height of the battle two Belgian army aviators rose above Liege in powerful military aeroplanes. Risrhg in swiftly moving spirals, in order to get above the range of the German cannon, they swept out over the western line of forts to take a reconnaisance of the German lines. The long range guns of the German batteries opened fire upon them, as soon as they were discovered, but the air craft were too high to be touched. Bursting shells which exploded far beneath the Belgian aeroplanes, caused air tremors of such violence that the two aeroplanes rocked like ships in a storm at sea. Describe Sensation. The aviators after.ward described the sensation thus: "Exploding shrapnel caused conflicting air currents which made flying extremely dangerous. It was a horrible, sickening .experience. The machines pitched and bucked and it was all we could do to keep our seats. The motions of the machines nearly tore them to pieces, and caused a nausea so intense that it nearly left us insensible." Throughout Thursday night the fight resolved itself into an artillery duel. The smashing reverberations of the cannonade rolled for miles up and down the valley of the Meuse. Rain began to fall, probably caused by the detonations of the battle. At first the stream was filled with a rain like mist. .Gradually it became more severe, and soon there was a downpour like a cloudburst. Lightning Adds Horror. The most of the troops of the Seventh German army corps were under arms during the greatest part of the night, and were without shelter. Crouching in the mud they were soon drenched to the skin. Lightning flashed in the skies. It could not be told from the glare of the guns but it mingled with the druming of the. artillery. The rain turned the roads into a lO cents

RELIEVES CONGESTION Howarth Sends Pupils to . Garfield.

Because of the over-crowded condition of the Earlham Heights school, seventh and eighth grade pupils will be sent to Garfield school this year at the expense of the township. Trustee Howarth stated today that 205 children were receiving instructions in the two rooms of the school last year. Scholarship in the Richmond schools and transportation will be paid. The children will be allowed two street car tickets a day. With the attendance thus decreased, Mr. Howarth contemplates no complaints this year of overcrowding. He announced today that the fumigation of all schools of the township under the direction of Dr. Krueger, county health officer, will soon be completed.

The operations of the commisasry department were interrupted and some of the soldiers were on the firing line for thirty-six hours with nothing to sustain them but a biscuit or two. Although the waters of the Meuse and the puddles in the field were red with blood, the soldiers drank eagerly, glad to get anything to moisten their parched tongues. A number of wounded German soldiers, who were picked up by army Red Cross nurses asked for food before their wounds were dressed.
