QUAKER

WITHOUT HEAD Ardra Thistlethwaite, Football Leader, Drops College Career to Take Position as ' Husband. Although able to withstand the atUcks and line plunges of any football warrior in the state, Ardra Thistlethwaite, captain and star linesman of the Earlham football team, has succumbed to the bewitching influence of woman and has announced that he will soon take unto himself a wife. In other words, Dan Cupid has robbed the Earlham football team of their captain. . Word was received by President Kelly that Thistlethwaite, 'who was the star of the Earlham line last year and was unanimously elected to fill the position of captain of the team this fall, will not enter school this fall as he had expected to do, owing to the fact that he will be married early this fall. His home is in Sheridan, Ind., , and it is understood that his bride-to-be lives in Marion. Got High Honor. Thistlethwaite was named on the state all-Star team last fall and was bjr far the strongest linesman on the Quaker team. He is a brother to Glenn Thistlethwaite, former coach of Earlham, who was also one of the best football players that has ever played on the Earlham teams. The absence of the big tackle will be noticed this lall and his place will be hard to fill. - Earlham, however will not be lacking this year in new material that is experienced in football. Several star high school players have signed up at the college for next fall and it is anticipated that Coach -Whiteside will strong team this season. Among the former high school stars that have signed up and who will play football are Bonner Feller, of Rldgefarm, 111.; Leslie Meeks, of Farmtown, Ind.; Frank Schlatter, of Bloomingdale, Ind.; Ralph Morrich, of Falrmount, Ind.; and Ralph Brunner, of Greenfield, Ind.

Accomplish Marvelous Feat Threatening Whole French Now Able to Strike Hard the Kaiser's Generals. BY HERBERT TEMPLE, European Manager for International News Service. LONDON, Aug.' 22. By reaching the coast of Belgium and occupying Ostend today the German troops have attained a line that reaches for 14 miles from Neufchateau to Ostend, about 20 miles from the French frontier. Their first object has been gained. The German forces that penetrated Luxemburg, and thence to the department of Meurthe-Et-Moselle will prevent any attack by the allies, on the left end of the German battle line. The waters of the straits of Dover will prevent any flank attack on the right end of that same line. , , Drawing a line from Paris to Ostend, thence to - Neufchateua, and thence to Paris, reveals an almost equilatoral triangle with Paris as its southern apex. The line held by the main French forces probably extends from the coast through Lille, Mezieres, and Sedan. It is on that line that they probably will have to meet the attack

BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, (International Newt Service Staff Correspondent.) PARIS, Aug. 22. German troop have taken the offensive in both Alsace and Lorraine, and are pressing heavily upon the frontier. The war office admits that the French troops that invaded Lorraine are retreating, and it is reported today that a vast German army joined by the Austrian troops, that recently passed through Constance, is sweeping through Alsace, and has already neared Cerney, only 5 miles from Muelhausen. That the French army which captured that town has been unable to move forward is indicated in reports from Basel that the Germans had attempted a flank movement to cut the French off from Belfort, and had been almost successful. A long range duel between the German and Belgian artillery has been going on at Namur since noon of Friday. The city is being invested by the German forces to cover the advance of their main body along the river Meuse, French Officers Help. French officers are in Namur to assist in directing the defense.

of Traversing. Belgium and Frontier.- Protect Wings and Against Allies Outwitted by

of the combined armies of the Meuse and the Moselle. These two armies are believed to form the center of the German forces. Horse, foot and guns, they have cross ed the Meuse, and struck for the French frontier. Their impact on the French line will be terrific. Will the French be able to stand it? None can tell. Whatever the outcome, British military experts will admit that the Germans have accomplished a marvelous feat by traversing the kingdom of Belgium, from east to west, a distance of about 140 miles, despite the determined opposition of the Belgian army. They say that the time gained by the Belgian opposition gave the allies the time they needed to perfect their defense. 1 A Copenhagen dispatch says that Germany has called the Landsturm the last reservists, to the colors. This will add six hundred thousand men to the army, a total of about six million. This action was taken in order that all forces previously mobilized may be devoted to crushing the allies, and standing off the Russian attack In the East. meet the attack of the Germans that are crossing the Meuse with the apparent intention of striking at Lille. The French war office believes that no attempt will be made to storm the forts at Namur but that the Germans will bombard it and attempt to invest it with so strong a force that its garrison will be unable to interfere with the march toward the French frontier. The following statement was issued at the war office today: "Large guns are pouring a heavy fire on the Namur forts along the Meuse. The Belgian artillery is replying. The defense there will be ably directed and there is no danger of Namur's capture. "Everything is going well on the Belgian front. The enemy continues to press westward across the Meuse, over xhich a number of bridges have been thru.wiv The Belgian defense has been of vaet help to the French army which is favorably located." The forts at Namur are nine in number. These were constructed uider the direction of Gen. Brailmont, the famous Belgian strategist, and form a strong link in the defenses along the Meuse. The city of Namur itself is at the junction of the rivers Meuse and Sambre. MAYOR FINES TWO FROM HOME TOWN Two "souses" were arraigned before Mayor Robbins in city court this morning, each charged with publfc intoxication.

FRIENDS HOLD

NOISY PARTY Owner of House Asks Police to Stop Noise Intended for Newlyweds. The home on South Fourth street fitted out by Prof. Joseph M. Richter, principal of St Andrew's parochial school, for his bride, has been under siege by boisterous friends of the newlyweds for two or three nights, who apparently have been expecting Mr. and Mrs. Richter to return from their honeymoon trip at any time. Today William H. Peterson, South Second street, appeared at police headquarters and said he had reached the limit of his patience with the "mob" which had been visiting the Richter home nightly. He wanted to know if a taxpayer was not entitled to police protection and said if such was the 'case he wanted the police to prevent the "mob" from visiting a house on South Fourth street, near the Richter residence, which is owned by him and committing acts of vandalism. "If they have another row down there tonight," concluded Peterson, "and the police don't Interfere, I will with a shotgun." Peterson said the windows of his house had been broken out and his garden trampled upon, practically ruining it. He said that one of the crowd had been a policeman. Prof, and Mrs. Richter, being out of the city have missed all the excitement. ENLARGES OUTLINE OF BIBLE CLASSES FOR WR BOYS Boys Director Somerville Plans Increased Activity in Department of T' With Improved Quarters. Bible study will be pursued by the boys connected with the boy s department of the T. M. C. A. more this winter than in any previous year. Plans are now being made by Boys' Director Somerville for the work in nis department. It is his intention to interest every body in the city in Bible study this winter. The increased accommodations which are being made for the boys' department enables the new director to handle the situation here much better than it has been done before when it was handicapped by lack of sufficient space. Richmond, within the past five years, has been rated among the first three cities in the country having the largest per cent of boys in the city interested in Bible work. This was accomplished in spite of the handicaps of the department and now since many of these hindrances have been removed, it is hoped that practically every body in the city can be brought under the influence of the Y.

The Bible classes will not begin until the first week in October. By starting the classes1, this late, ample time will be given fothe completion of all the work connected with the improvement of the department quarters as well as giving the boys a chance to get a good start in their school work, since school starts the first week in September.

Dr. Carolyn Geisel, whose morning health lectures have attracted so much attention at the Chautauqua and throughout the city concluded her week's engagement this afternoon with, an address on "Americanitis. In speaking on "Community Hygiene," this morning she said the one secret of a healthy (own is summed up in the single word "Co-operation." She told how New Orleans, after suffering for years from yellow fever and having such a high death rate that people were afraid to move into it, made up its mind to become as healthy a city as any in the country. "A doctor." she said, "organised the whole city to fight disease. They killed out all the mosquitoes and today New Orleans is as healthy a town as you wi41 find." As further illustrating wirttcan be done when all the people in" fjrnmunity work together towanff thfiT aim, she narrated the experiences of Tacoma. Washington. "In 1904 she said, "of every thousand deaths In Tacoma. 226 were deaths of babies due to cholera infantum. In 1912, of every thousand deaths, only four resulted from that scourge which destroys more babies than any other one disease. "How did this splendid city get such wonderful results? By getting all the women organized and the business men organized and the churches organized and the children organized into civic leagues. These leagues drove the fly out of town, got the water purified, got garbage cleaned up, stopped spitting on the streets, got the dai ries under rigid surveillance and got the stores and every dealer in foods spotlessly clean. This is what was done in Tacoma and you, if you will only work together, can accomplish as much in Richmond."
