'Alex. Lochwitzky Tells' of Banishment and Horrors of Life in Wasteland of Country. Only In the tales of the Arabian
Nights can be found a parallel to thel
thrilling life story narrated by Alex M. Lochwitzky before an unusually large audience at tne chautauqua last night. Before being exiled to Siberia, Mr. Lochwitzky was a Count, a lieutenant colonel in the Russian war department and a son of one of the most prominent bureaucrats in the country. lie spoke for more than two hours but held his audience up to a pitch of breathless Interest while he caused to play before them the kaleidoscope Of his life. "What do you think of a country," he said, "that sends each year 200,000 of its citizens into exile? These condemned to a living death may be any member of a family. "According to Russian standards, I had a good education. Fights Two Duels. "Owing to my rising social ambitions, I got into two duels for which I was severely reprimanded by my father. Because he was afraid I might ruin my career by too much society, he had me transferred to the war office, where I was given charge of a department, the business of which was to ferret out grafters. In Russia k private Boldier gets forty-three cents i month. "During one of the six years of my married life I was granted a leave of absence for sixty days, which I spent on one of my estates. It was during this time that I came in touch for the first time with the Russian peasant. Also at this time, I became acquainted with a girl from Geneva University and through her, met for the first time In my life self-made people. With these, we organized a little social club which advocated free press, free speech and the establishment of free school s. Find Friend's Letter. "Shortly afterwards, I was in my residence at St. Petersburg when one night a group of gendarmes came to my residence. They searched my house, tore up my pillow cases, tore up my Sue Oriental carpets and even took the upholstering off my chairs, hunting for letters that would convict me of being a Socialist. Toward morning, they found a letter which was signed by one initial. It was from my friend, the young woman of Geneva University. The gendarmes took it as a suspicious document and on the strength of it put me into the fortress Oi St. Peter and Paul. "My cell was sound proof. "After several months, I was taken in a closed carriage to the chief of the Russian secret police. Two officials eat in the carriage with me holding rocked revolvers pointed toward me all the time. Held in Prison. "In this solitary confinement I was kept sixteen months. During fourteen months of the time, I didn't see a human face and I was not permitted to sing or talk. At the end of that time, the present crazy Czar sent me to Siberia for sixteen years, four years of "which I was to spend in hard labor. "My estate was confiscated, my wife was legally declared a widow and my children orphans. My ankles were chained and I was sent to Siberia on a prisoner ship that contained 994 crimina s, but because I was suspected of Socialism, I was kept apart from the rest. "I was taken to the prison and put Into a room with three hundred murderers. A Siberian prisoner once a year is given the privilege of a talk with the governor. When I couldn't endure being there with all those murflerers, I demanded my right of seeing Ihe governor. Unfortunately, the governor was on his vacation but I was permitted to see the vice-governor, lie took a notion to me and while he could not help me in any other way, he gave me a revolver and a box of cartridges with which, if the worst came to the worst, I could blow my brains out. Escapes to U. S. "When my four years of hard labor were up, I chanced to run across an English profes-sor on a tour of exploration. He took me along with him and gave me a letter of introduction to a firm of coal dealers in Vladivostok. There I obtained a position. One night I managed to get aboard a Japanese steamer and for $100 got away to Japan. J-iater on, I went to Hong Kong. From Hong Kong, I later came to San Francisco and now, thank God, I am an American citizen. "But that crazy little Czar who
rules the Russian people seems determined that even here I shall not escape his wrath. In San Francisco I Was shot at. Three times 1 have been J)oisoned. But i am not afraid of him. am going all over the country telling my story that the people of the United States may know what are the conditions in which their fellowmen are living in Russia."
the German forces, the war would by now be virtually over or at least its end would have been in sight. The war office says the fate of France depends on the outcome of the battle now waging. Official announcement was made by the war office that in Lorraine the Allies have taken up a combined offensive movement. The battle re-commenced yesterday, is still raging today. Temporary abandonment of the positions in Alsace was necessary as the commander-in-chief needs all the forces available for the decisive battle in the Rhine valley.

The extent of the celebration will be determined by the Attitude of the members representing the various labor organizations of the city. No large demonstrations are ex-yiected.

"All is going well with the imperial family," said an official statement issued by the war office. "Our arms are moving with the steady success. The French have been crushed, and within a short time we shall be through their lines and near Paris." When Empress Augusta Victoria learned of the German victory at Namur, she exclaimed: "Thank God, we may all be content. I have three sons with the army." Though her health has been poor for several months, the Empress is kept informed of all the army movements, copies of the official dispatches being sent to her.
GERMAN FLEET SAFE IN KIEL CANAL. PARIS, Aug. 26.

LET STUDENT HELP CRITICISE OH CLASS ADVISESJWR. GILES Superintendent Favors Oral Composition and Criticism as Less Wasteful Than Written Tests.
Suggestions for working out a better system of class room criticism featured the address given by Superintendent J. T. Giles at the teachers institute today. He pointed out that the science of education has not developed a systematic method for criticising recitations and class room conduct. "What is class room criticism? Is it not at basis an expression of relative merits? We seek to analyze what it is the child is doing and then to compare that with some accepted standard of judgment or measurement. "The question comes up, who is to do the class room criticising? Teacher, child or group? The traditional method of course has been teacher criticism. We are coming, however, to discover that it will be best if we let the child have a part in it itself and also the group about the child. "The need for having a pupu take a more active part in working out class room methods is well illustrated by the new system of teaching reading. The usual thing is for all the pupils in the class to have the same book and to be reading the same thing at the same time. The newer system that is being worked out is that each child shall have its own book and read its own selection; that it should judge fiom tae effect on the hearers whether it has been a good selection or not and then should be judged by the teacher and the class. "There is a danger of too much criticism in class work. We must guard against making the child too self-conscious and we must be careful not to kill spontaneity." Prof. Giles explained how in written composition work a vast deal of energy is wasted and no results obtained and why it is necessary to work out a new system of criticising this kind of work.
LANGUAGE ENRICHES MIIIOS JKHILDREII Dr. Ellis Places Importance of Learning to Use Words Correctly. That the purpose of language study should be the enrichment of the life and thought of the pupils, and that grammar and rhetoric should not be mere ends in themselves, was the address delivered by Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis in his lecture on "Language" at the teachers' institute this morning. "Spelling, pronunciation, definition and use make up the principal elements of language study," he said. "My own notion is that pronunciation is more important than spelling, because we speak a great deal more than we write. "The dictionary sometimes confuses us more than it helps us. The Irishman who said that a net is a lot of little holes tied together, came nearer giving a true definition of the word than some of our best dictionaries do. "The best way to get the meaning of a word is through the association of the sentence. "We must always remember that language precedes grammar just as flowers precede botany. Personally, I believe that grammar should not be taught in the grades, but kept over for the high school period. "The first essential in teaching language is for the teacher himself to use correct English. It is not only necessary to instruct in the right use
of words. It is also necessary to see I that the child forms a habit of using j them correctly."
ROAD GIVES COUNTY POLE RIGHT-OF-WAY Pennsy Allows Commissioners to String Light line on Its Property. Wayne county was today given the right-of-way by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to construct a line of poles and wire from Centerville to the county poor farm to furnish electric light to the infirmary. Nothing remains now but the signa-
; tures of the county commissioners on the license, which has been sent to the county attorney by the railroad
neaaquariers ai oiumDUS, u. uoumy Auditor Bowman called a meeting of the county commissioners for tomorrow morning at which time the final step will be taken preliminary to the erection of the poles and wires. Work wUl be started immediately placing the poles along the railroad property from the Centerville corporation limits to the county poor farm. The buildings at the farm have been wired. According to County Auditor Bowman, the poor farm will have light by the end of the week as it will take no longer than two days to construct the line of poles and wires. The lighting at the poor farm will cost the county $1,400 for installation. According to the terms of the contract with the railroad company, the right-of-way over the company's property will only cost $1. The exact consideration that has been reached between the commissioners and the railroad company will not be known until after the commissioners have met.

Germany Hopes War Will Terminate Soon
NEW YORK, Aug. 26 From a high diplomatic source a man closely associated with Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador it was learned last night Germany hopes for an early peace. This hope is pinned on the German victory at arms over the French announced yesterday, and the belief that England will not see France crushed again, as in 1870 by the Germans. The Germans hope that some great neutral power the United States of course will offer mediation which will be accepted by England and forced on the allies. Such an offer the German diplomats believe would result in a general armistice, and a world congress of diplomats for peace. The German terms would be a recognition of England as mistress of the sea, and a recognition of Germany as master of the continent. To force such a peace Germany plans to pufsue the "On to Paris" campaign at any cost. Count Bernstorff suddenly called attention to the conclusion of an official dispatch received
through the German embassy at Washington which read: "Concentric advance of all German armies toward Paris probable." It is known that plans are being formulated by the German diplomats in this country in conjunction with prominent financial interests to bring a new offer of mediation from this nation when the Germans feel that their strength has been sufficiently demonstrated to induce England to accept such an offer.

LODGE ENLARGES HALL FOR DANCING
KNOLLENBERG SAYS
(Continued from Page One.) safely this morning. Both are well and happv. Signed, "GEORGE KNOLLENBERG." The tourists left Copenhagen, Denmark, August 13, according to a cablegram received by their family here last week. Some apprehension was felt at the time that the boat would be held up on account of later developments of the war in Europe after the boat had left port, so Mr. and Mrs. Knollenberg left for New York chiefly for the ourpose of getting in closer touch with the progress of the steamship.
The dance hall in the Odd Fellows' building is being improved for the winter season. This is practically the only change being made in the building this year. The floor is to be made larger by removing the platform and creating a balcony for musicians. The dressing rooms in the rear will be entirely removed. A central arch will replace the two doors. The arch will lead to a reception room from which smaller dressing rooms will be accessible. A concealed lighting system is being installed and the entire hall will be retinted.
