MO FLEES

FROM CROWD AT CARNIVAL

Henry Edwards Distances Mob After Fight but Eversman Captures Fugitive Aft ter Flying Football Tackle. .11 mob of five- or six hundred people had laid hanJs on Henry Edwards, colored, at the carnival grounds Saturday night he probably would have been roughly handled. Edwards and his closest pursuer, William Everaman, police commissioner, outdistanced the crowd, however, and Eversman got away with his quarry before the self-appointed posse could Interfere with the proceedings. EdWards considered himself fortunate to scape with a fine of $1 and costs in City court this morning. Edwards patronized a game of chance on the grounds Saturday night. After winning a watch he reminded the manager of the game, G, C. Cummins, that he had offered to pay $5 for the watch. Cummins offered $4 and a hot dispute ensued. Finally Edwards called Cummins a vile name and was promptly hit over the head with a board. Edwards then knocked Cummins down with his fist and started to run. Chief Goodwin seised Edwards while Eversman and Patrolman Cully, the only uniformed officer on grounds, started in pursuit. Cully, however, tripped over a guy rope, battering himself up considerably. In the excitement the frightened negro, In his frantic quest to place himself under the protection of some biuecld guardian of the law, proceeded with throttle wide open until he came In violent contact with an elderly white man. Edwards, believing he was being attacked, knocked the cltlaen down with a blow to the jaw. 8tarts Lynch Cry. With feelings ruffled and Jaw aching the elderly amusement seeker arose with a shout, "Lynch the blank-ety-blank-blank-blank" and instantly the crowd deserted the indignant sideshow "barkers" and gave chase. " Still looking for a patrolman and believing Eversman to be the leader of the mob Edwards circled about the grounds several times, the howling pursuers close upon his heels. By a desperate burst of speed Edwards shot out upon Main street shaking off everybody except Eversman, who finally captured him. Cummins pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and battery this morning and was fined $1 and costs. Edwards pleaded guilty to a charge of provoke. Sunday morning, Edward Smith, an electrician for the water show of the carnival, was found by a citizen flat m his back suffering from a broken leg. He had been abandoned by his 'ellow showmen. Probably he met his mishap during the excitement of the :hase after Edwards. He was placed iboard the carnival train shortly before it left town. MOM ASSUMES LOCALMSTORATE Former New Castle Minister Receives Call By Central Christian Church. After an almost unanimous call had been extended by the congregation of the Central Christian church, the Rev. V. R. Motley, formerly pastor of the First Christian church at New Castle, accepted the pastorate of the local church yesterday morning. The Rev. Mr. Motley will take active charge of the worlnext Sunday although he has conducted services at the chuch for the last two Sundays, since the Itev. Mr. Leonard left. The Rev. R. C. Leonard under whose pastorate the congregation's tabernacle was erected and who built the Bible school up to one of the largest in the Htate, resigned to take charge of a church in Florida on account of his wife's health. The Rev. Mr. Motley has been in the ministry of the Christian church for the last twenty years. He has held charges in New York state and Vir ginia. Because of his work at New Castle where he has been most recently he is considered one of the strongest pastors who could have been secured for the Central church. He will move his wife and family of five children to Richmond during the next two weeks. He has already resigned at New Castle in anticipation of the call to the Richmond church. BATTLE Ji PEACE Stovall Gives Injunction to Church Members. "If in the cause of righteousness and peace and love, Christianity can not match men million for million," said the Rev. W. O. Stovall at the First Baptist church yesterday, "and money hundred million for hundred million, against what is being sacrificed today in the cause of ruin and bloodshed and heartache, then it means that there Is more of the savage than the civilized in our so-called civilization, and more of hell than heaven in the so-called Christian na tions of this twentieth century. But we do not despair. We know that excitement sends many into war against their own judgment, and that conditions force many in against their own will, and that when the paroxysm of war has passed and the call of the savage in teh hearts of men give place to the call of the man, one thing will surely be vindicated, and that will be the position of those who proclaim the gospel of peace, and one thing will surely be justified and that will be the nward march of the army of the good warfare shod with the prepara tion of the gospel of peace. "Let us then, fellow Christians, let the zeal of men in carnal warfare, but add to our determination to follow our Lord in the cause of heaven and

LONDON The seventh week of the war finds the allies in a decidedly improved situation over that of a week ago. The German army in France continues its retreat, having crossed the boundary into Germany at several points; the Austrian defense in Galicia appears shattered ; in Belgium the Germans have again taken the offensive against King Albert's forces, and in East Prussia the campaign is in the balance, enormous armies being engaged in the struggle. PARIS (Noon) The offensive movement of the allies continues, the Germans being pushed back today at Nomeny and Pont-A-Mousson, both of these places being occupied by the French. The French troops which occupied Nancy and Luneville Saturday have also taken up the offensive against the retreating forces of the Kaiser. OSTEND Russians, coming by way of England, are landing here. PETROGRAD The Russian war office admitted today that the Russian army was retreating from Koenigsberg owing to superior forces of Germans. (This announcement was based on a dispatch from the front which was four days old). LONDON Daily News correspondent at Ghent confirms reports that Russian troops are in Belgium. BERLIN The Russians are retreating from the vicinity of Koenigsberg and a new German army has been sent to France. (Official announcement) ANTWERP A German army apparently led the Belgians under King Albert into a trap about 30 miles from here last week and succeeded in driving the Belgians back into Antwerp.

FIELD

REVIEWS ALLIES' ACTION

BY HERBERT TEMPLE. LONDON, Sept. 14. Thfc government press bureau -today issued a statement of Field Marshal John French, taking up the operation of the allies in France at the point where he left off in the report which was made public September 1: "It will be remembered, says the report, "that the general position of the British forces on September 6 was south of the Marne, with the French forces in line on their right and left. There had been practically no change since the third, which marked the end of the British troops' long retirement from the Belgian frontier. "On the fourth it became apparent that there was an alteration in the direction of the advance of almost the whole first German army, which had been endeavorig to outflank and envelope the left of the allies whole line in order to drive them southward .-The German forces opposite the British were beginning to move in a south easterly direction instead of continuing to the southwest to the French capital. Execute Flank March. "Leaving a strong rear guard along the River Ourcq to keep off the French Sixth army, which was northwest of Paris, the Germans began executing a flank march diagonally across the British front, ignoring the British in an effort to attack the left flank of the French main army, which stretched in a long curved line from the British right toward the east and thereby to carry out against it the en velopment, which had failed against the combined forces of the allies. "The Germans continued the movement on the fifth. Large advance parties crossed the Marne, and there was considerable fighting with the French Fifth army on the French left, which fell back toward the Seine river. "On the sixth heavy German forces crossed the Marne and pushed through Coulommiers, past the British right. "Further east they were attacked in the night by the French Fifth army, which captured three villages at the point of the bayonet. "On the seventh there was a general advance by the allies in this quarter. The British forces, which had been reinforced, pushed in a northeasterly direction in co-operation with the advance of the French Fifth army, to the north ond the French Sixth army pushed eastward against the German rear guard along the Ourcq river. Germans Retreat. "The Germans, possibly weakened by the detachment of troops to the eastern theatre of opposition, and realizing that the French and British advance considerably endangered their own flanking movement, commenced to retreat toward the northeast. 'This was the first time the Ger man troops had turned tjjelr hacks since their attack at Mons a fortnight before. It is reported that the order to retreat when so close to Paris was a bitter disappointment. Letters found on dead proves that the German troops generally believed they were about to enter th Frpnoh ca.nit.al. "On the 8th the German movement northeastward continued, their rear guerd on the south of the Marne river being pressed back to the river by the British and French. The latter captured three villaegs after a hand to hand fight, the infantry inflicting severe losses upon the enemy. "On the ninth the battle between the French Sixth army and what is now the German flank guard along the Ourcq continued. The British, overcoming resistance on the river Petit Morin, crossed the Marne in pursuit of the Germans, who has steadily retreated southward. Combines Pressure. "On the 10th the French Sixth army continued its pressure on the west, while the Fifth array by forced marches reached the line of Chateau Thlerrey and Dormons on the Marne. The British continued the pursuit on the north of the Marne after a considerable amount of fighting. They captured 1,500 prisoners, four guns, six machine guns and fifty transportwagons. Many of the army were killed and wounder. In the thick woods were captured many German stragglers, who appeared to have been without food at least two days. "In this area of fighting the Germans seemed demoralized and inclined to surrender in small parties. The situation appears most favorable to the allies. "Much brutal and senseless damage has been done In occupied villages br Germans. Property has been wantonly destroyed, pictures ripped up, and bouses generally pillaged. It is stated n unimpeachable authority that the Inhabitants were much-Ul treated ,

MARSHAL

"The arrival of reinforcements and the continued advance has delighted the troops, who are full of zeal ana anxious to press on. The report concludes with an appreciation of the British aviators, who by attacking nostile aeroplanes, succeeded in establishing individual ascendary over the Germans, who are becoming less enterprising in their night. AMUNDSEN POSTPONES NORTH POLE TRIP Raold Amundsen, the discoverer of the South Pole, who had planned to sail for the North Pole next summer, has postponed his expedition for a year. Practically all the members of the expedition are members of the army and cannot get leave of absence until peace is restored in Europe.

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it In gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it no matter now much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to keep your hair looking rich, do by all means get rid of aandruff for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry. brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been anown to fail. (Advertisement.) MATHER .& UNTHANK Mill and Cabinet Work. Estimates cheerfully given.
