STRIKE DEATH BLOW AGAINST 3 ILEJOADS Five Hundred People Remonstrate Against Proposed Improvement of S. Ninth and Boston Pike. The death knell of the construction of roads In Wayne county under the three mile road law is believed to have been sounded this morning. lf Since there are more than twice as many remonstrators than there ar petitioners, the county commissioners will undoubtedly refuse to grant the petition submitted to them this morning for the Improvement of South Ninth street and the Boston pike. Almost 500 free-holders and voters remonstrated against the proposed improvement, which was petitioned under the three mile road law, while only 154 signed the petition. Practically evry one of the signers lives on the highway, which was proposed to be Improved, while the remonstrators were residents in the township who believe that the county has spent enough on building roads under the three mile law, which in many cases makes it compulsory on the commissioners. Law Requires Refusal. This is the largest remonstrance that has ever been filed with the commissioners of Wayne county on the improvement of a road and is conPldered an indication of the sentiment in the county. According to the law, the commissioners will be required to refuse the petition. The law reads that "If within twenty days after the lietition is filed, a remonstrance is filed containing a greater number of iree-holders and voters of the township or townships effected, the commissioners shall not order the improvement." Considerable agitation is being raised among the residents of the south part of the city over the remonstrance. It is alleged that the remonstrance is merely an act of selfishness on the part of many people in this county. Many of the signers of the remonstrance were petitioners on other three mile road improvements in the county. September 7 is the date set for the final hearing on the petition by the county commissioners. At this time final action will be taken on it. Because of the overwhelming number of remonstrators, it is not probable that anything further will be done by the petitioners in getting more signers or peTsuading the present remonstrators to take their names from the list.

LONDON British troops have driven the Germans back over the French boundary into Belgium, near Chimay, but French advices admit that the Germans are forging ahead on their way to Paris, and are now nearing Amiens, which is only 70 miles from the French capital. Fighting continues all along the frontier of the great conflict which has now raged eleven days. , To the far east Russia is rolling its millions of men into Germany, the rapid advance indicating that the Russians hope to enter Berlin, the rapid advance indicating that the Russians hope to enter Berlin before the Germans take Paris, evidently figuring, that the French capital will be able to withstand a long siege. London is wild over yesterday's naval victory in the North Sea, and with the news that England is sending more men, and bringing still more from India, optimism is high. PARIS The Germans have beaten back the left wing of the allies from the Belgians' frontier to the Sombre river, indicating that the German advance is now between Arras and Amiens. This puts them about 80 miles from Paris. The right wing is engaged near Rambervillers, in the Vosges, the conflict there continuing uninterrupted for two days. There are reports of a lull in the fighting there this afternoon, but it is believed to be only the Germans resting up preparatory to a smashing blow which they will attempt Sunday. There has been frightful loss of life, but on this subject the war office maintains silence.

Thousands of OF PLAY HAVOC WITH FORTS AT Heavy Siege Artillery Easily Batters Down Defenses of Belgian Forts Unable to Reply. BY LAWRENCE ELSTON, Staff Correspondent of the International News Service. LONDON, Aug. 29. Five thousand Belgians who managed to escape from Namur when the Germans captured that city, were surrounded by the Germans near Denee and 4,983 of their number were killed or made prisoners, only seventeen getting away safely, according to the story of a Belgian civic guard named Duquet, who got away from Namur before the arrival of the Germans, and who reached here today. The story he told was one that had been told to him by French officers, who had returned from Namur. "Five forts were still holding out, according to my last information," said Duquet, "but they are bound to fall under the terrible fire of the new siege guns which the Germans had in use at Namur. "The guns are marvelous. They hurl enormous shells and these burst with terrific power. The guns have a wonderfully long range, and were posted in positions out of the range of the guns of the Namur forts. The German shells tore holes ten feet deep in the cupolas of the forts and soon put several forts out of commission "Just as soon as the forts fell the Germans swarmed in overwhelming numbers toward the shattered forts. "One party of Belgian soldiers, numbering 5,000, got as far away as Denee. Then the Germans surrounded them. The Belgians attempted to bayonet their enemies but it was a futile effort. The Germans killed all those who resisted and made prisoners of others, with the exception of seventeen men, who escaped. TO GO JAMTH TEAM Quaker Fans to Invade Connersville.

GARDENERS REAP HARVEST OP VEGETABLES OFF LOTS

The children and families who have been cultivating the garden plots in different parts of the city, under the supervision of social workers, are beginning to realize real benefits from their efforts. Fresh vegetables, including beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet corn, and cabbages are being gathered daily, and old High Cost of Living has received a severe jolt, from the families thereby benefited. Few families of the city realize the real good that has been achieved through these gardens. Most of them have been tended by school boys, but many older persons, also have plots and have been only too glad to take this means of obtaining vegetables which they possible could not have afforded otherwise. Many incidents have occurred during the summer that show the spirit in which the gardeners have carried on their work. Glad of Chance. One of the best gardens, both from the standpoint of appearance, and production, has been cared for by a woman, mother of eleven children, the youngest scarcely two months old. This woman has displayed unusual energy and spirit. A man who had started work on a neighboring plot, refused to continue his work because a newspaper article had referred to the work as being "charitable." In commenting on this, this woman said, "That man's pride is in his way. What if it is charity. I am poor and know it. but surely there is no dis- ( grace in being poor. I am so ttaankful for this chance to help feed my babies." No day this summer has been too hot for her to go out and see that everything was all right in her garden, and her industry is now being rewarded, by the fresh vegetables she gathers daily.

and transports are now waiting to child, thirteen years old, who took this opportunity of helping provide for his widowed mother and younger brother. So anxious was he to begin his garden in the spring, that he did not wait until someone could be found to plow the plot for him, but in the evenings after school, and on Saturdays, he spaded up the whole plot that he might get his seed planted early. The sod was old and tough, and might have discouraged many an older person, but this youngster kept at it, until he had the ground in fine shape. Keep Return Accounts. Another garden has been cared for by an old man of foreign birth. In speaking of the help and assistance that had been given him, he said, "I work in old country long time, and then I come to America, but never before do anybody care if I live or not. Thanks, thanks, for this fine garden." , He expects to get at least twenty-five bushels of tomatoes from his plot. His , children also have a plot which will ; yield a nice return. It is too early to estimate what the total hpnpfit from tho erardens will be, but the gardeners hve been ask-1 ed to keep a record of the returns from their plots, while an account of the cost of preparing the ground, and the seed that was mostly donated, has been kept by those in charge of the work. The work this year has been largely an experiment, and if successful, will be taken up next year on ; larger scale. "WE HEAT THE HARD TO HEAT" Marshall Furnace Company of Marshall, Mich. B. D.

DENOUNCES BURIIII1G OF ANCIENT LOUVAnl Accuses Commander of Setting Beautiful City on Fire to Cover Own Blunder in Tactics.BY LAWRENCE EL8TON International News Service Staff ' Correspondent. LONDON. Aug. 29. Confirming de struction of the beautiful city of Louvain by the German troops, the gov ernment press , bureau today declared the act was due to an effort of the German commander to cover his own blunder and denounced It as a crime for which there can be no atonement. "The German commander.' says the bureau's official statement, "In a moment of passion, and to cover the blunder of his own men, attacked Louvain in a manner unparalleled In the history of civilized peoples. "In destroying the ancient town of Louvain. the German troops committed a crime for which there can be no atonement. Humanity suffered a loss that can never be replaced." "After reciting the history of Louvain and listing its noted structures, the statement continues: "All this destruction took place In revenge for a fancied offense against the Kaiser's troops. It was announced yesterday that the Kaiser stated the only means of preventing attacks from the civil population was to prosecute them with unrelenting severity and create examples which by their frightfulness would be a warning to the whole country"Louvain is an example of such Intense rage and the excuse is very poor." "The blunder" referred to by the press bureau is the reported wounding of German troops by fellow soldiers who fired upon them by mistake. INFANT CHILD DIES CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind., Aug. 29.
