MILKMEN HOLD PRICE AT USUAL RATEjOR TIME Association Refuses to Advance Cost to Ten Cents, But May Raise During Winter Days. Heavy Expense of Feeding Given as Cause for Contemplated Temporary Increase to Eight Cents. The price of milk will not be ten cents a quart in Richmond until other prices increase correspondingly, and the dairymen's association will not call a meeting with the view of raising prices or knocking the city ordinance regulating dairies. This is the statement of representatives of the dairymen's association, which represents about ninety per cent of the milk delivered at retail in Richmond. The cry for an increased price, they say, came from two of their number who have sold no bottled milk heretofore and therefore really will have profits cut by the enforcement of the ordinance. It is probable, however, that the

price of milk in the city hereafter will be subject to seasons. On November 1 the price of 7 1-7 cents a quart will be made 8 1-3 cents a quart, which the dairymen claim is the price in other cities and which they are entitled to. Price May Drop. When this price is made, it will be for six months. If "times are good and men have plenty of work," as a dairyman put it, the price will be permanent. However, if there is any scarcity of work the price will go down when pasture comes. "It is impossible to get ten cents a quart for milk in Richmond." the largest retailer of milk in the city said today. "We know that. But we do not want to raise the price. I believe our association is made up of fair and honest men. We stick together like leaohes on these things, and there are too many fair-minded men in the organization to let one or two boose prices." Other dairymen stated that they had only half a crop of winter feed. As feed will be shipped from Chicago, it really Will be more expensive to produce milk in Richmond than it is in Chicago. Feel Summer Drought. It developed that the milkmen contemplated raising the price of milk to 8 1-3 cents a quart retailed in bottles earlier in the summer, and had the rains come any later the action probably would have been taken. The rains were too late, however, to help the winter feed, and the effect of the summer dry spell will be felt in the winter. For several years most wholesalers have had winter and summer prices. The winter price is regarded as the standard price, while the summer price is held to be only the natural decrease which comes of cheaper operation of dairies. The organization of dairymen does not hold regular meetings but gathers only on call of the president, who is subject to the voice of a certain number of members. The president refused to call a meeting for one or two when the majority did not want it. City Statistics Marriaae Licenses. C.eorrA Rinehart. 21. farmpr Prphle i

War Correspondent Describes Unerring and Deadly Effect of German Gunners in Battles of Last Three Day Krupp Guns Level Strong Fortifications and German Infantry Rushes Forward in Battle.

BY HERBERT TEMPLE. LONDON, Aug.. 26. A war correspondent who had the good fortune to be at the scene of fighting near Charleroi and visited Namur where the Germans gained a signal victory, has given a graphic account of the battle scenes : "I left Charleroi on the last train, just after the German cannodade began. Right along the line to Nivelle the train passed the skirmishing lines in the wheat feids on both sides. When the train reached Huy, to southwest of Brussels, the station master, running down the platform, stopped the train with a red flag and informed us that the Germans had already occupied the town. "This proved to have been an error, howevei. There was a large body of French In the town unknown to the little detachment of 'death's head Hussars' (Germans) who had ridden in to take possession. These Germans being taken for English cavalry men, were cheered by the populace as they rode toward the railroad station. Suddenly they came upon the French, and were cut to pieces. Warns Women. At the beginning of the bombardment an officer said: " 'I was standing at the railroad station, which was crowded with refugees fighting to get aboard trains that would carry them from the danger zone. Suddenly there was a deep rumble. Then we heard the scream of shell. Almost immediately there waB a crash as the shrapnel dropped upon the roof of the station. The people were thrown into panic. At once the sound of German artillery grew, and snells began dropping everywhere. I jumped upon the locomotive of a train and I understand it was the last to leave the city. "The roads leading into Charleroi were filled with men, women and children seeking refuge in the city. 'Turn back, turn back!' we called to them." The correspondent said that a large force of British troops were at Mons, where they were making themselves perfectly at home. Mons is surrounded by canals on every side, except the south where the green woods stretch away into distance. All the bridges over these canals that had not been blown up with dynamite were commanded by rapid fire guns which had been planted behind barricades. The correspondent left Mons, going in the direction of Peruwelz and Blaton, about fifteen miles northwest of Mons. "After much delay," says the Journalist, "we got started again, passing many dead bodies on the way. Fight East of Mons. "A German force had taken up a position near Tournai, 28 miles northeast of Mons, opposite Lille, on Saturday morning. They put their mitrailleuses in action at once, firing upon the defenses of the Pont De Mori. The first attack of the Germans was re1 . . .1 V. .. 1 A J .

From there I went to Phil ippeville, in the very heart of the allied army. All Sunday night, between Chimay and Philippeville, I could hear the roar of the big guns. Desperate Fighting.

"The French soldiers advanced in the teeth of a withering fire, which

"Throughout Sunday night and Monday, the roar of artillery could be heard on all sides of Charleroi. "Charleroi is in the center of an active industrial and mining district. Scene In Charleroi. "And now for a picture of the scenes in Charleroi proper: "The city was blasted. The houses were tiled with bodies. In every part of the city houses were smoldering, or in flames. Streets were plowed up in gigantic furrows by the bursting of shells. The pavements were strewn with dead bodies, and the debris from damaged houses. Windows were smashed, not only by the flying wreckage, but by the trembling of the earth, caused by the concussion of the mighty batteries which had been blasting the country side with their fire for many hours. "Having heard that Namur had been taken by Germans, I started in that direction. Not far from Philippeville I met a Belgian army officer and the paymaster of Namur. They said that the cannonade was so well directed by the German gunners that it required but a brief time to silence the guns of fort Marchevelette and fort Maizeret. ' "In spite of the elaborate preparations made by Namur by the erection of barbed wire entanglements, through which passed an electrical current of 1500 volts and the liberal use of broken glass, Namur fell without much resistance." S0MERV1LLE SEEKS NEW T MEMBERS In accordance with a state-wide campaign that is to be waged by the Y. M. C. a., it is probable that the membership committee of the local association will inaugurate a membership j campaign this fall. No definite action J has been taken by the directors or the membership- committee, but according to Secretary Learner the matter will be given immediate attention. Because of the increase in the fa cilities of the boys' department, it is expected that this branch of the Y. M. C. A. will be greatly strengthened this fall and winter. A quiet campaign for membership is being waged by Boys' j Director Somervllle, and it is anticipated that when the department, is opened up in its new quarters in the basement of the building, a large number of boys of the city will be added to the membership of the association. The extent of the improvements to be made in the second floor of the building is not known by Secretary Learner.

HttU bU-uTtHAIIUH :i FOR BEST RESULTS III PUBLIC SCHOOLS Dr. Ellis Says Parents and Teachers Should Work Together for Efficiency of Education. The need for a closer co-operation of 'home and school was the theme less there is closer co-operation. You often find parents who do not understand the school because they do not understand that schools have changed since they themselves attendtended. Parents should come to school and see what .the school is doine for their children. So also should the teachers go to the home. No teacher can do the right kind of work in a school room who doesn't know the home in the background. "There is great need that teachers arA ngpanta Ya lirmi fVi f nff a more avrrlr.athatln rolaHnnahin Parents and Loses Life Touch. "Oftentimes the school teacher loses touch with life and becomes a mere professional. This is bad. So also is it bad when the child too early loses touch with its home environment. Between home and the first year in school is a great break In a child's life. Another break comes when the child goes away to high school, and still another when it goes to college. Our school system ought to bridge over these gaps better than it does. "The community wants its boys and girls industrially efficient. This is a good thing, but the community also needs to remember that a school cannot turn out experts unless that school is eauinped for Buch business. And the community must not expect some thing of the school unless it is willing to give the school the funds and the apparatus for meeting that requirement. "It will be a good thing for the .schools when teachers get into the habit of having representative meu in the community come in and tell the boys and girls about the opportunities for service in their own trades and professions. When we do this we must not forget to hold out before our students the. joys and opportunities of the teacher's career. Let us rear a generation of teachers who have chosen that great profession as the finest of opportunities to help their fellowmen." PRINCE FREDERICK KILLED BY SHELL BY LEASED WIRE. BERLIN, Aug. 26. Official announcement was made today that Lieut General Prince Frederick of Saxe-Meiningen, was killed at Namur Aug. 23, by a bursting shell. Prince Frederick of Saxe-Meiningen was born October 12, 1861. He was the third son of Duke George II, and he was married in 1889 to Princess Adele of Lippe. GETS G.JU PLACE Los Angeles Man to Run for Governor. BY LEASED WIRE. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. Returns received early today indicate that John Fredericks of Los Angeles, has received the Republican nomination in the primary. The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor will be John M. Eshelman, Progressive; the Democratic nomination . for governor is in doubt, the candidates making a neck and neck race. Samuel W. Shortridge of Los Angeles, and Congressman Brown are running close for the Republican nomination for United States senator. Francis J. Heney will be the Progressive nominee. A first aid package is included in the equipement of every aeroplane belonging to the German army. It is placed behind the seat of the pilot, and marked with a conspicuous red cross, so as to be readily found by the first person to reach the scene of the accident.

General Von Der Goltz is 71 years old. He has been field marshal of the German army. Because of the fact that he taught the Turkish army, and the Turkish army later was ingloriously beaten by the Balkan allies, he was severely criticized by the German press.

ZEPPELIN HAKES BELGIUM'S KING FORSAKE PALf.CE Royal Family Hide in Private Home to Escape Deadly Bombs Dropped From German Dirigibles. Antwerp Residents Roused From Fancied Security by Flight of Airship Over the City's Fortifications.

BY BERNARD BELANCOURT, International New Service Staff Cor respondent, ANTWERP. Via London, Aug. 26 King Albert and the royal family have fled from the palace, fearing that another attempt will be made by a Zeppelin airship to destroy it. The king, queen and their children have takeu up their residence in a private home, the location of which is kept secret, to ward off danger. When I arrived here from Rossendaal today I found Antwerp in terror. Sentinels have been placed upon the tallest buildings to give warning by day, and more than thirty searchlights have been installed to sweep the heavens at night. The attack of the Zeppelin airship yesterday struck panic to the hearts of Belgians. Resting secure behind the great fortifications that guard the city, they had given no thought to ' the danger that threatened them from

The Zeppelin directed its efforts again 8 1 public buildings and the royal palace, the aim was poor in many cases, and the little homes in the center of the city were the worst sufferers. In the first two days' fighting the battle line was approximately 150 miles long, with the most desperate fighting centering north, west and south of Charleroi, Just as is the case today. When the conflict began the British troops were massed in the center of the allies' lines, with French on both sides, supported, at intervals by squadrons of Algerians and territorial reserves. This line formed the base of a triangle of which the Namur forts were the apex. Depend On Namur. The allies were depending on the strength of the Namur forts to prevent a big concentration movement on the part of the Invaders. With the falling of some of these forts the Germans pressed southward toward Sambre, from a point south of Brussels where a big part of the mighty Teutonic host had massed. Another section of the German army believed to have numbered 200.000 men, pressed forward toward the Meuse, from the direction of the Belgian Ardennes. xvamur, at tne apex oi tne auies lines, having partly failed, both side3 of the triangle were impaired and the whole advance position of the French and British crumbled, thus allowing the Germans to push forward. The French troops fell back through Charleroi to the second line of defenses, but the movement was the signal for desperate fighting. The second line of the allies was on French soil, stretching from Rocroi to Mezierest. From the heights around Maubeuge the French artillery now began to bombard Charleroi, which the Germans had occupied. This was the second artillery attack upon Charleroi. The Germans having bombarded it before the French evacuated. HAAS IN DAYTON E. M.
