It will be the Sunday school service which has opened Chautauquas for the past three years since the fifteen day program has been given. Th Sunday school will take the place of many Sunday schools of the city which will not hold sessions on tho thron SnnriavB .Chautauaua con venes. Denomination will not be reo ognlzed but there will be regularly organized classes which will be instructed bv some of the popular Sunday school teachers of the city. Fully seventy-five per cent of the campers at the white city spent their first night out last night. The night was Ideal for heavy sleeping. The tents kept out much of the chill but thin covers which could be used at home, were doubled as protection against the open air. Gat First Supplies. Chautauqua was as well organized today as it will be a week from now. Scenes on the ground were similar to those at any 'other time. The trade wagons made their first appearance at the appointed hour and delivered gro ceries and supplies to tbe campers. Only a few put off until today the moving of their camping paraphernalia to the grounds. For the first time in the history of Richmond's Chautauqua none of the speakers from the bureaus have written their regrets. Only some unforseen accident will prevent the program from being carried out as it has been published. Miss Ruth Large, a reader is an added feature. Miss Large will remain during the entire session. MoBt of her appearances will be with Runge's orchestra "which will appear every day the first week except Monday and Saturday. Miss Large will also conduct a children's hour iu a tent provided especially for the purpose. Singing, games, folk dances and story telling under the direction of Miss Large will be the children's program for the week. Plan Social Events. Young people on the grounds are not fleeing from social duties by camping in the park. In most groups, the social duties will be doubled. Morning swimming parties, afternoon gatherings and evening strolls or boat rides on Glen Miller and Morton lakes are proposed. The chief lecture of tomorrow will be that of Rabbi Leonard Levy of Pittsburg, an Englishman by birth who is ranked among the leading orators of the Chautauqua platform. Sunshine Hawks with his speech for the evening will be a drawing card because of his popularity last year. The following are the musical programs: BAND CONCERT PROGRAM. 1:30 p. m. to 2:30 p. m.

War YahiM

LONDON, (2 P. M.) As yet there is no decisive battle between the powers at war.

The British war office announces that the German offensive movement in Upper Alsace has been checked and the Belgian cavalry continues its successes around Hasaelt.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BORNED ON AUG. 15 Fourteen years ago today after the congregation of St. Andrew's church had completed its Holy Day services, a fire broke out which is not only a matter of important history with the church, but will be remembered as one of the most spectacular fires of the city. . On August 15, 1900 the St. Andrew's church began burning and such headway was gained that the fire companies could not cope with the flames. The burning of the big steeple, the fall and crash of the chimes and bells, the toppling over of the high structure and the flames which arose several hundred feet high were seen by hundreds of citizens who witnessed the fire. The custom of preaching a special sermon on the burning of the church and the subsequent rebuilding and growth has been dropped, but mention was made of the fact today by Father Roell. Both churches held Assumption day services today commemorating the death of the Virgin Mary which .occurred on August 15. Three masses were held this morning and special vesper services were held this afternoon. AVIATOR THROWS BOMB IN NAMUR BY LEASED WIRE. BRUSSELS, Aug. 15.

LONDON TIMES

GLOOMY ABOUT WAR'S SUCCESS Military Expert of Bis: News paper Throws Pessimistic Bone in Resume of England's Chances. ' Sees Heavy Reserve Army Back of Germany's Forces and Long, Drawn Out, Bit ter Struggle. BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Aug. 15 An undercurrent of pessimism over England's military chances runs throughout the article of the Times military expert, which was printed today. The article says in part: , jfi. a..-.-,.,... , "Lord Kltchner does not find under his hand the means for waging war on a great scale. We are dreadfully In arrears. The present generation by its efforts and its steady patriotism is called upon to make good for the neg lect, selfishness and calloused indifference to defense which has characterized our peace-loving - nation in the past. "What is the situation? We are lighting a nation of 70,000)000 people. We have no good reason to suppose that they have any other object in life but to crush us. France already has thrown the whole of her manhood into war. She can do no more. Russia is a mighty power, with immense capac ity for defense, but with untried and unproved offensive powers. "We may beat back Germany, but behind the first German line are reserves. We must take it that Germany will fight this fight through as the Kaiser said, to the last breath of the last man, and to the last hour. "Under such conditions war may be long, very long. "Lord Kitchener's duty is to prepare our land forces so that they may not only second the efforts of our friends but may, by their steadily expanding numbers and their constantly increasing efficiency, enable us to play a part worthy of England in war, and at peace impose terms most in consonance with our interests. "Lord Kitchener may quite conceivably have to employ 500,000 additional men, and it is quite possible that when the other powers have exhausted themselves, we shall be as we have been in the past capable of continuing our war. "There must be no question of peace, except at our own terms, even if all our allies arc struck down. We should continue the war until the enemy has relaxed her grip. Russia, at least is equally prepared for a long war. Misfortunes which are not to be forseen may befall us, but they must not turn either Russia or ourselves one hair's breadth from our resolutions. No disaster must affright us. We are fighting for liberties and for the very existence of Europe." AUTOS CARRY TO 0L0 SETTLERS DAY BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT. CENTER VILLE, Ind., Aug. 15. Be ing an old settler in Wayne county is not a synonym for being old fashioned. This was clearly shown at the fiftyfifth annual meeting of the Wayne County Old Settler's association here today, when almost four hundred automobiles that had conveyed the crowd of 2,500 persons to the park here were parked for' blocks along the streets and in open places. Old residents who recalled clearly the days when ever the railroad was in its infancy rode to the grounds in big high powered cars with wealthy young sons and sons-in-law. When the dinner was served it was a revelation to those who had attended old settlers meeting for many years. It did not seem that the high prices and the European war were other than a dream to that large crowd which sat at tables bearing everything that the human stomach was ever called on to wrestle with. Candidates Congenial. Candidates of the three political parties forgot the small qualities of the others who were running for the same office as all gathered at one table. Following the dinner a group picture was taken of the candidates. The three oldest persons at the gathering were: Benjamin Haywood, 86, Centerville; Edwin Cowles, 86, Cambridge City; Frank Baker, 84, Centerville. Another group which attracted considerable attention when they were being photographed was composed of three sisters: Mary Ann Bennett, 80, Centerville; Emily Anderson, 72, Centerville; Sarah J. Shank, 76, Centerville. Among the others who were of advanced years and the date of their birth were the following: William L. Commons, 1838, Richmond; J. P. Walton, 1841, Cambridge City; J. C. Curtis,, 1838, Fountain City; J. S. Own, 1843, Richmond; William A. Mitchell, 1833, farmer; William K. Young, 1837, Richmond; William S. Schuneman, 1839, farmer; John H. Campbell, 1843, farmer; J. J.

-?L - t mis EXPECTS TO CONVERT 160 MILES OF ROAD TO COUNTY HIGHWAY Indications are that farmers will not assist the county officials and town-, ship trustees in having many town-1 ship roads transferred to the county in accordance with the scheme of Road Supervisor Jones and the county commissioners. It is believed that fully 160 miles of township roads will meet the requirements and be accepted next ' month by the commissioners. This will ; mean that the county will have 400 miles of county roads instead of 240, "" . , 4. 4 , It is said farmers would rather take chances on the meager improvements offered by the townships than to convert the roads and sutfer ihe neglect j of a few years ago. Before the institu- ! tkm o preaent system, the county j did t d cent on some of its . . .. .. . roaas, ana tne result was a nuniDer of petitions to have the roads transferred back to the townships. It is believed, however, that Highway Superintendent Jones has made a reputation which will turn the farmers' opinions and that they will later ; assist the trustees and commissioners in placing reads under Jones' care. Whatever tax raise would be neces -

sitated by the increased mileage of j employes special service, $1,000; county roads will be offset by a lower-1 school fund interest, $1,500; expense ed rate in the townships from which j game wardens, $50; cumpulsory eduroads were taken. cation expense, $600; school fund The additional mileage of county i loans expense, $100: taxes refunded, roads will also mean an increase in the $500; bridge repair fund, $5,000, pa apportionment of the state automobile ment temporary loans. $11,000; pay-

COUNTY

FIXES SUM

BUDGET

FOR YEAR 15 Commissioners Estimate Ex penditures for Different Departments at $128,378, With No Tax Change: The first step of fixing tax rates. that of passing on estimates ot expenditures of next year, was nndesn taken today by the board of county, commissioners in a short session, tali morning. ' Although the budget Is not cots-' pleted, the Indications are that tbm tax rate will remain tne same. Auditor Bowman announced to the board of commissioners that they, could base their estimates of Income on levies on a total assessed valuation of $32,390,000. The total valuation is 35,888,000 but ten per cent was deducted for erroneous assessments and delinquent tax payers. The chief difficulty of the commis sioners is in settling on the bridge repair work and the amount which should be sent on roads next year. Nothing has been Included for either purpose as yet. The county still owes $22,000 to the bridge fund o! $65,000 which is being permitted to accumulate to build the proposed south side bridge. A payment of $11,000 on the temporary loan is arranged for in tbe budget. Jones Asks More. Superintendent W. O. Jones asked for a levy of eleven cents next year. This would bring in $35,200 to which will be added about $6,000 expected from the state automobile tax distribution, making a total of $41,000 for road work. The commissioners are inclined however to cut this amount to $29,000 from taxation which could be taken care of by anine cent rate. The rate last year was seven cents. The commissioners have made a personal inspection of the bridges oi tne county. They believe new bridges are needed in a few cases. There will be no repairs out of the ordinary. However, if the Tenth street bridge were moved to Twelfth street, a new bridge replacing the Tenth street bridge there, the cost of making the removal would be the heaviest expend iture for which taxation would be required next year. The cost of th? proposed arch bridge would be paid the following year. The commissioners allowed $1,00C as salary for a county sealer o! weights and measures. The county council approved of this county ofner last spring and proposed the installation of a weighing pu-.ce ou of the court house yard. If possible a man will be secured to work jointly fbr the county and city. Budget as Signed. For repairs, the commissioners allowed $600 to the county jail and female prison, $900 to the court house, $900 to the county poor farm and several other small items. The budget as it was signed by the commissioners today now stands aa follows: County health office salary, $6S5.0S; miscellaneous office expense, $S5; disease suppression, $500; salary commissioners $1,500; office expense, $130; county council and attorney, $970; expense board review, $176; truant officer, $575; poor relief fund, Abington, $75; Boston. $25; Center, $350: Clay. $125; Dalton. $85; Frank 1ft(1- Hnrrlcnn $4g.
