FRENCH ASSERT TIRED SOLDIERS CHECK WARFARE Hvar Office Admits Germans Have Best of Fighting' in Northern France and Now Threaten Paris. BY HERBERT TEMPLE. LONDON, Aug. 29. The French government in a statement and a manifesto issued late last night in Paris, and received here early today by telegraph said that the German attack "was lagging, owing to the evident weariness of the soldiers, however the manifesto said that a battle is still being waged, but it continued, "the battle has not been yet fought to a decisive conclusion." English soldiers have had to stand the brunt of fighting on the firing line. They were opposed by seven German corps, composing the flower of Emperor William's army. They are picked troops. There is the Guard infantry, and the Guard cavalry; the Third or the Iron Corps of Branden'burg which by general consent is held to be the best corps of the German jarmy. There is the Tenth infantry, jwhich is a favorite of the Kaiser's, and 'the Ninth and Eleventh and Fourth. Danger From the Rear. According to the Daily Express, the German army in Belgium and northern France is in weakened position because of the lack of protection to its rear. It points out that a heavy English force could be landed in northern Belgium, and sweep down against the rear of the German right flank. This may be included in the general scheme of the war office, but it also ' Is certain that the allies are trying to cut through the center of the German army and separate the central section lying along the Franco-Belgian frontier between the Sembre and Semois rivers, from the northern wing. That the allies are striking at the German center, and hitting hard is shown by the Times dispatch stating that the Germans had fallen back upon Chlmay. From all accounts, the Germans still appear to have the best of it in northern France. Their advance guard is in the vicinity of Arras, and Is reported to within less than 100 miles of Paris. In Belgium, however, the Belgians are reported to be forcing the Germans back from their position south of Antwerp. The Ostend correspondent of the Chronicle reports that the Belgians have retaken Malines or Mechlin, as it also is known.

CUTS RECEIPTS AT WHIHCITY GATE Financial Success of Chautauqua Assured Despite Bad Weather. Had it not been for the unusual amount of rain this week, the Richmond Chautauqua would have averaged up better financially than it did, last year. Up to and including Thursday evening, the receipts had been $2,580. This was ahead of the corresponding date last year. Owing to the heavy rains of yesterday, the receipts fell back about 500 over the last season. The program for tonight arid tomorrow is unusually strong, and the management hopes to even up the score before the Chautauqua closes. Two hundred and forty-nine tents are erected on the ground. These include the assembly and other tents, besides those used for family purposes. This is the largest number of campers in the history of the Chautauqua. The organization this year has been exceptionally well managed, and many campers have expressed themselves as believing it to be, as a whole the best Chautauqua thus far held. The government of New South Wales is about to erect a centralized state employment bureau for domestic servants.

BISHOP GIVES FEW PERMITSJO WORK Boys and Girls Attend School Rather Than Labor in Factories.

There will be fewer children working in the factories of the city this winter than ever before. Truancy Officer George Bishop said today fewer permits had been given to children between the ages of 14 and 16 to quit school and work in the factories than in any former year. He attributes this to the fact that many of the factories of the city which employ children are not running at full capacity and consequently do not desire the employment of a greater number of people this winter. The glove companies of the city employ more children at this age than- all the other companies combined. Several children under 14 years have applied to the truant officer for permits to work but have been promptly refused the right to make a living so early in life. According to law, every child under 14 years of age must attend unless he is given a permit to work. Of 267,000 men in the battle of Seden, 25,970 were killed or wounded. 11

STATE UNIVERSITY FORMS DISSCUSSIOII CLUBSJIKOUIITY Albert Stump of Indiana, Confers With Teachers, Explaining Methods-Pick-ell Head for Sixth District.

Considerable interest is being aroused in Wayne county in the field extension work that is being promulgated by Indiana university. This work was carried on in this county to some extent the past year but it is being planned to make the work this year more extensive than ever. The work last year was confined to the discussion contests in the Richmond high school, but arrangements have been made to organize the entire county so that organizations can be formed in every township to discuss topics of live interest to American citizens. The plan that is being instituted in this state is modeled after the plan that is in use in Wisconsin, under the direction of Wisconsin university. In the preliminary institute that is to be held tinder the direction of County Superintendent Williams, September 4, the county will be organized by townships for the purpose of starting these clubs and societies. Particular attention will be given to debating and public discussion of questions pertaining to state and national politics. The work is not to be connected with the school only in the sense that it is to be connected with the field extension work of Indiana university. Appoints Picked. Prof. F. G. Plckell of the Richmond high school, has been appointed by Indiana university as district chairman of the high school discussion league. He will oversee the organization of societies in the school districts. He will prepare a plan to be presented to the teachers of the county September 4. The plan is an attempt to revive the old literary societies with the additional feature of linking them up with Indiana university and allowing them to have the advantage of that institution. Debates will be arranged in the societies and as the plans progress, debates and oratorical contests will be arranged between the different socie ties of the county, which will finally culminate in a county contest. It is believed that this will create much in terest in the county. Lines Up Work. Albert Stump who is connected with the field work for the extension di vision of the state university, has been in the city for the past two days lining up the work here. He has attended the county institute at the Chautauqua and in his conferences with the teachers there, he finds that there is a great sentiment in favor of the movement in this county. He said that in addition to the contests and joint meeting that will be held by the different societies as soon, as they are organized, experts on different subjects will frequently be sent to the meetings by the extension department of Indiana. These county associations have been organized in more than thirty counties in the state and are now being organized in practically all the remaining counties. HELMS TO JUDGE GRAIN AT FAIRS Joseph Helms, Wayne county's well known corn grower and expert judge, has completed arrangements to judge grains at two coming county fairs during the first part of September. Mr. Helms will judge at the Union county fair at Liberty, beginning September S. The last of the following week he will make awards in the grain exhibits of the fair at Oxford, O. Mr. Helms anticipates a difficult task in judging wheat. He said the grain was of uniformly high quality.

GERMANY ASKS SECRETARY TO TOUOELGIUH Berlin Wants Breckenridge to Probe Alleged Brutalities of German Soldiers on War Front BY FREDERICK WERNER, 8taff Correspondent for International Now Service. BERLIN, Aug. 29. To refute the charges of brutality made by the allies against the German soldiers, the gen eral staff has invited Henry Breckinridge, the American assistant secretary of w", and American officers and newspapiL correspondents to visit Belgium. - . "It Is unnecessary for the government to deny this accusation." it was stated. "The observers can go and see for themselves." Mr. Breckenridge is now in Vienna, but is expected to return here as soon as he has provided for the Americans in the Austrian capital. Many Americans in Berlin declare they will remain here. A special train loft for Holland last night, but there were many vacant places on board. Another train will leave Sunday, and in the meantime the American officials now here are trying to induce their countrymen to depart on it.

RUSSIAN ADVANCE - THROUGH PRUSSIA BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY, Staff Correspondent for International News Service. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 29. Austrian troops defending Lemberg are fighting desperately to stop the Russian attack on that city, the general staff statement says today, but thus far have been unable to halt the army that is invading Galicia. "The Austrians have taken offensive in several districts, but the Russian advance is being vigorously pressed forward," it was stated officially. Reports were current here today that Koenigsberg, the important seaport of Eastern Prussia, had been captured from the Germans, but the general staff said that no confirmation of the city's fall had been received, though Russian troops had taken its outskirts. Details of Invasion. The Russians are now advancing into Germany along a front two hundred miles long, having spread out fifty miles in the last three days. Details of the invasion of East Prussia were made public in the following official statement: "On the eastern Prussia front during August 21-2-3, the fighting continuing at the points where the enemy had concentrated their corps. These had to fall back, together 'with fresh forces that came to their assistance. "The Germans sustained great losses at Neidenburg, and are in full retreat, in the Petrokoff district. "Our cavalry cut up three squadrons that were supported by a company of cyclists and took 127 cyclists prisoners. Big Battle Fought. "Separate engagements on August 22 assumed the character of a big battle extending through the eastern districts. The general front stretches about 200 miles. The first engagements were in the nature of advance guard affairs, but thanks to the bravery of the Russia troops, were were completely successful." That the Germans put up a stubborn resistance to the Russian advance is evidenced by the large number of wounded men sent back to Moscow. No official estimate of the loss of lives has been issued. M
