IGERMAN VICTORY TO BRING SPEEDY END TOWARFARE ttiondon Capitalists and MQii tary Critics Believe England Ready to Quit War in Europe. 'Credit Given to High Excellence of Kaiser's Effective War Machine Against Allied Forces. LONDON, Aug. 25. Peace in Europe is not very far off is the opinion Df many prominent capitalists and military experts. "The success to date of the German army against the allies is the one great thing that will make for speedy peace" said one expert. "Had the allies administered a crushing defeat to the Germans they would not have given any thought to peace. They would have followed up the Germans in the hope of crushing them utterly, and reducing the German empire to a muni

cipality. But the seeming irreslstability of the German advance againBt the allied forces has changed things. It has satisfied the Kaiser that his army is all that has been claimed for It. It has proved to the world that the German army is the greatest machine of its kind in the world's history. And it has proved to the allies that if they ever expect to keep it in check, they must be willing to sacrifice at least a million lives. Germans Receptive. "Germany, I believe, is now willing to' consider any reasonable peace terms. She feels that, pitted against two or three foes, she might be able to win. But she realizes, probably, that it is a hopeless struggle against more than that number, especially in face of the fact that it is unlikely that any one nation will step in to help her. "The invasion of Germany by the Russians, the fact that the huge British fleet has blockaded her ports, and practically bottled up her fleet, and the general paralysis of her trade, are other big factors that may force Germany to listen to peace talk. "England has accomplished her main object in demoralizing the German commerce. And she has upheld her national honor, by going to the help of Belgium. But England does sot care for warfare. She knows what It eventually will mean to her commerce. England is not anxious to see

Russia overrun Germany. The Russian Slav, in her opinion is a sufficient menace already. France Warlike. "France, of course, may want to continue the war. She may feel that aided by her allies, she can crush the Germans, and even up the old grudge that dates back from 1870. But if the English ardor for war cools suddenly, and France and her allies suffer a few more defeats, it seems certain that France will be glad to enter into the peace plan, provided that she does not suffer a loss of territory. "Germany, as far as can be learned, does not want any part of France. "A few more important successes by Germany's wonderful army, and we may look for the United States to step in, and act as arbitrator." Boys, Look Out for Green Apples. Lester Wolroth had a very severe attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating green apples. His mother, Mrs. Pearl Wolroth, Herkimer, N.

MERRICK (International News Service Correspondent.) PARIS, Aug. 25. Burning villages and heaps of bodies lying on Belgian soil around Charlerol show the ferocity with which the allied French and British troops opposed the wave of German troops that rolled them over, and drove them back to France. For ten hours the tide of battle ebbed and flowed at Charlerol, the town be ing taken and re-taken six times be fore the allies withdrew. Part of the city was wrecked according to reports received by the war office today. The villages of Marchienlies, Monceau, Chatelte, and Landeise were burned. Fight Hand In Hand. Though the inhabitants of the peaceful little villages had been warned that conflict was coming, scores remained in their homes and perished from the flames or were driven out to face the rain of shot and shell that swept the streets when they were driven from the shattered structures. Hand to hand fighting took place in Charlerol. The French were the first to occupy the town, but they were driven out by a bombardment from the German artillery. The Germans then entered by the left bank of the River Sambre, but within a short time more of the allies troops arrived, and the conflict was renewed. The Germans sought cover in the houses in the lower part of the town, and to dislodge them the French were forced to sweep that Bection with their artillery. Back and forth through these surged the contesting soldiers, fighting desperately for victory. The dead lay thick when the French were finally forced to withdraw. For three days wounded soldiers have been pouring into Maubeuge. The monastery and nunnery there are filled. The Inhabitants have given up their homes to the war victims. DOWA LEADS JAPS LONDON.

From a German Point of View The Palladium will print a resume daily of what the Staats Zeitung, of New York, and other leadinr German newspapers of the country, have to say in regard to the situation on the war chess board in Belgium, Alsace, and on Russian Frontier.

NEW VORK, Aug. 25. Herman Rldder, editor of the Staats-Zeitung, discussing the European war from a German standpoint, says in part of his article today: "The murder of the archduke of Austria was one of the immediate causes of the war. It led to the sending of the Austrian ultimatum. Reports that reached this country at the time caused the impression to become general that the Austrian government served a rigorous ultimatum. "ReportB that reached the country at the time caused the impression to become general. The Servians did not propose to permit Austrian officials to take part in the investigation to uncover the plot which led to the murder of the archduke basing its refusal qn the necessity of maintaining the dignity of its government. "The bitterness of Servia toward Austria is so Intense that it is implanted in the minds of school children, kept alive by secret societies, and now God only knows where it will end. "All this is in line with what we have already learned to expect from Servia, a statement that has been so largely in the hands of that arch-conspirator of the Russian diplomatic service, Von Hartwig. I am convinced that we would not dream of permitting a condition to obtain in Mexico such

Night shirt parades, orgies and revelries by night on the grounds of the Chautauqua have furnished Police Chief Goodwin many chances to reprimand the young folks. The biggest single group was fifteen boys about sixteen years old who walked through the Chautauqua grounds in the dead stillness of the night with night shirts or pajamas over their clothing. They broke into song and did the lock step before the tents of young girls they admired. One boy was reprimanded on complaint of his companions. He had loosened three ropes of their tent when they pounced on him and turned him over to the police. The Chautauqua hag been exceptionally free from pranks of a destructive or immoral nature this year, the police say. While there are many nightly clans abroad during forbidden hours, little has -occurred to shock or anger the more sedate of the population.

a-: Austria has been obliged to suffer on her eastern border." We do not wish to build on the adversity of others, we do not need to. But, if in the present self-wrought chaos of European trade, we do not take advantage of the opportunity of re habilitating our merchantmen, we shall fail in a great economic duty which we owe not only to ourselves, but to those other peaceful nations of the world, which like ourselves are suffering from the war, and which depend to an extent, that is increasing daily, upon this country to feed, and clothe them. To avail ourselves of this opportunity we must act swiftly. Unless all estimates of the sacrifices inseparable from modern warfare are in error, the very magnitude of the present struggle must be the cause of early peace. With a cessation of hostilities will come renewed competition from Europe, on a scale, and with a ruthlessness never knowji before. The nations will have to recoup what they lost, and will strive to do so with the sharpened enterprise which inevitably follows war. Opportunity is knocking at our door today. It will be a long time before she does so again. Let us take advantage of it.

FIRE IN DUMP DUE TO HOLEJN SEWER Chief Miller Discovers Draft That Feeds Smoldering Bed of Coals. Fire Chief Miller is convinced that a sewer running under the West Richmond dump if, the cause of the constant fires there. On this assumption he has conceived what he believes is a sure remedy. All fire has been extinguished but there is a hot smoldering mass under the surface which is still smoking, this is apparently fed by a draft. An investigation has shown that the point where the draft is supposed to be supplied is directly over the line of the sewer. The fire chief says there is a hole in the sewer tiling, which when fixed will no longer furnish oxygen to the gases which have caused the fires. The matter has been turned over to George Knollenberg, street commissioner who says he is studying a way to complete the dangerous job without Jeopardising the lives or health of his employes. He will also repair the outlet end of the sewer with new tiling. Unite tfcates in 1911 produce 220,449.891 barrel ef petroleum.

PEOPLE LK Dr. Charles Ellis Pleads for More Discrimination to Bring Out Shades of Meaning. The history and personality of words and their influence on the character and lives of the people who use them was the message which Dr. Charles C. Ellis delivered to Wayne county teachers in their institute this morning in his lecture on "Words." This lecture was scheduled to be delivered Wednesday morning but owing to the failure of Dr. Book to be present yesterday, Dr. Ellis moved his subjects up ahead one day. "One of our watch-words today is 'Teach things and not words.' But what do we mean by 'things'? That term originally means something spoken, a discourse. Later on it was used to describe the place in which a discourse was given, then the things that were spoken of in a discourse and finally anything whatever. We will make a great mistake if we permit the movement toward the study of 'things' rather than words to cause us to underestimate the importance of words not only in our intellectual life but in our moral life as well. Language is the greatest tool of civilization and it is absolutely essential for us, if we are to be educated men and women, to make a right use of words. Meanings Vary. "Think of the importance of words. Of course, to a certain degree, we can think by means of images but the more difficult type of thinking is im- j possible without words. In manyj terms, hundreds of ideas are wrapped up and few indeed are they who have j realized the vast richness of the re- j sources they have in their own lan-1 guage. Nearly all great disputes arise j through a lack of agreeing on a defi nition of the terms used. We transmit thought by means of language. They are the chief vehicle of our ideas. Words are real powers, they j have affected the life of humanity just j as have steam and dynamite. Words are signs of thoughts and thoughts ; make history. Words are the vehicles ' in which history travels from genera-1 lion 10 generation, fliany woras contain whole mythologies within themselves and oftentimes an entire people will distill the essence of its generations of life into a few words. Many of our Anglo-Saxon terms open windows which through we may look into the prehistoric ages of our own people. "Words have moral character. The language of a people reveals its character. The imprint of degredation is often more marked on language than on institutions. Our very characters are modified by our habits of using words. "Words are like human beings. They get into good company or bad company. They have their birth, career and death. "Words have power to move men to deeds of right or wrong. I believe that if our Latin teachers would show the boys and girls how that many of our commonest English words spring from the Latin roots, the pupils would find their Latin much more fascinating than they do." Nath Edwards Writes ECONOMY, Ind., Aug. 25. The Friends Sunday school picnic was the best ever given by the school. One hundred and twenty-five ate at the first table. Twenty-five fried chickens were placed on the table. John Macy, ex-commissioner gave a talk.

WASHINGTON The German embassy gives out wireless from Berlin announcing a crushing defeat of the allies along the French frontier, with the taking of 10,000 French prisoners. The dispatch stated an advance on Paris was now probable. LONDON After three days of furious fighting the allies are now on the defensive. Namur has fallen into the hands of the Germans who have crossed the Chambre river and are pushing forward steadily toward the vicinity of Mons and Charleroi. Reports of cannonading near Mons are already being received, indicating that the Germans have reached the entrenched allies over night and that the fight has been resumed. To the north of this, detachments of Uhlans have crossed the Franco-Belgian frontier and are screening the movements of infantry which has Lille, a strongly fortified French city, as their objective. LONDON It was announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that the British had lost 2,000 in the recent battle in Belgium. PARIS There is much uneasiness here this (Tuesday) afternoon over the German defeat of the French troops on the frontier. The war office issued a reassuring statement. Cabinet held an extraordinary session. PARIS Burning villages and heaps of bodies testify to the ferocity of opposition to the German advance by the allies, Charleroi being taken and retaken six times before the allies withdrew. Hundreds of citizens were killed in the streets of Charleroi where hand to hand fighting occurred. The French war office announces that it is hiding nothing and will give the truth to the people. ST.

Once in possession of Allenstein, the Russians will be enabled, by the proximity of railroads, to advance rapidly to their objective Berlin. ANTWERP A' Zeppelin flew over the city early this morning, dropping bombs, which killed and injured a number of people and destroyed two houses.

LONDON A semi-official dispatch from Vienna says the emperor had ordered the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin-Elizabeth to

co-operate with the German warships in defending Tsing-Tau. This, if true, will probably bring from Japan a declaration of war against Austria. LONDON The official press bureau announces the fall of

CZAR'S FORCES TAKE TOWN IN EAST PRUSSIA

Soldau and Neidenburg Fall! and Russian Left Wing Ad J varices to Take Allensteinj BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY ( I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) ! ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25. Th occupation of Soldau, and Keidenburgjj two important cities of East Prussia. by Russian troops was announced to day by the general staff. It was stated that they had been taken after five days fighting. The movement culminating in the faU of Soldau and Neidenburg indicates that the Russian left wing in Prussia is attempting an attack on Allentstein from the southwest. With Allenstein in their hands or safely invested, the Russians would be able to press on toward Berlin. The Russian forces Invading East Prussia are In two main divisions known as the Warsaw army, and the Vilna aratty. The latter first took the initiative against the Germans, and attacked them along their entire front, i The result was indecisive until the! Warsaw army swept around the Ger-' man's right flank and attacked them in the rear. This sudden blow the general staff states, threw the Germans into con-' fusion and forced them to abandon their position at Mauer Lake and fall back upon Allenstein. The credit for the Russian victories in East Prussia is due to General Sukholmniloff, the minister of war. Everv since he has accepted a place in the cabinet he has been striving to perfect : the Russian army and his success ii evidenced by the rapidity with which.' mobilization was affected. The spirt of the army Is altogetherdifferent from that shown by the Rus-. sian troops in the Russo-Japanese war.i The plan of campaign against the! Austrians in Galicia will probably be similar to that adopted in East Prus-i sia. One Russian army has already! reached Rava, near Lemburg, another is advancing from the southeast. It was announced today that GrandDuke Michael, the Czar's brother, had returned from abroad and would leave for the front immediately.
