Statement Pays Tribute tm

Bravery of Handful of

Fighting Men. BERLIN, July 15. (By Wireless) Surrender of the German force in southwest Africa was admitted by the war office today. In an official statement is paid a tribute to the :tittle force of men which had waged prolonged warfare with 20,000 British troops. The conditions of the .surrender of the German forces is now made clear in the following statement: "The number of men who surrendered was 3,298, of whom 204 were officers. Thus only a little more than an infantry regiment was lost- The Germans gave up seven field pieces and twenty-two machine guns. The German troops fought through o prolonged warfare while under the most terrible fatigue, being pitted against 20,000 foemen. The enemy acknowledged the bravery of the Germans by even permitting the non-commissioned men and privates to retain their sidearms and guns, although their ammunition was taken away.

SELLS LITTLE PONY OF GYPSY LEADER

A small gray horse appraised at a value of $60 will be sold under the hammer on Main street in front xf Justice P. T. Stnayer's office on July 26. The selling price will be given to Anderson WillSams, a negro boy, as his claim againat Matt Pearson, a gypsy king, leader-of a tribe of gypsies who were caught after a long chase by constables from Justice Strayer's office yesterday. The case of Williams against Pearson in which the plaintiff claimed $37 due him on back salary, was heard this morning by the justice of the peace and decided in the negro's favor. As the gypsy had no money, it was decided to sell his horse at auction. Testimony in the case brought forth that Pearson became intoxicated July 12, at Fountain City and abused the colored boy. When the latter demanded his back salary due him from the time he joined the outfit at Birmingham, Ala., Pearson drove him from the camp permitting him to wear only a pair of trousers aad an undershirt. The boy walked fcom Fountain City

to Richmond where he filed a com-j

plaint.

"The Wayne "Towaship - Old "Trails Rmd association held an" enthusiastic mieetingfln the Commercial club rooms lact evetciing. Reports of; the Fourth of July celebration were, made all of which indicated remarkable success at the Cenfterville meeting, and taken as an evidence that the county is thoroughly j aroused ?on the matter of the ocean t o ocean "highway and that every effe rt : must' now be made to conserve all of ttt is effort and make a united feffort to' influence congress toward tjie necessary appropriation by the government to construct this great highway. The members of the association ! believe that when Richmond fully realizes the great importance of such a : highway, that everyone will join in enttiu.siastic effort to bring it about. ; Aside frcari the war there has been no topic so much discussed as that of public hig4iays ; throughout the nation. Evf jry state has its great road meetings in which high officials and prominert business men have : been the leading spirits, and there is no question "but that when congress meets in. December, there will be a great rac;e from every section in the country ?for first appropriation, and as this, ocf im to ocean highway has been the firftf.' proposed and the most important' it will no doubt receive first attention if sentiment from one end of the 3j ,ne to the other can be put in tangible; form before congress. Richn? lond is peculiarly fortunate in being ot only on this highway but on the Dixie highway, so that when both of these roads are completed, it will brflig thousands of tourists every year thj-ough the city. The local association l is pretty well organized, but thiere an e still hundreds of people who should 1 e members. The present membership; of the township numbers 200 and wlnh the nominal fee of 50 cents per year there should be at least 1,000 members 3. An effort will be made at once tio increase the membership so that the. active work of the association miajji'be continued.

President Wilson, according to Coj--

nish reports is devoting practically all his time to a consideration of the Ger

man reply, and Secretary Lansing," at

tne state department today is. engrossed in the preparation of a memorandum which will be laid before thecab-: inet probably on next Tuesday.

To Meet Bernstorff. Secretary . Lansing is understood, to

have received a long letter from Pres-' ident Wilson regarding the IGerman

situation and he has likewise 1 written

the chief executive outlining liis ten

tative views concerning the nature of'

tne forthcoming reply. Before the re

ply ; is : framed, it became known here

today, the secretary of state is to hold

a conference with Ambassador von Bernstorff.

The ambassador again desires 'to'

outline in person the views of his'

government and is understood to : be doing all in his Dower to brine ahmit

an amicable adjustment of the present, controversy which came to a head; when a German submarine destroyed many American lives aboard the Lusi-! tania. 1

There are no outward dewelonmp.nts

today regarding the nature of the re-';

ply which this government will des

patch to Berlin, but there continues to

be the gravest under-the-surface con

cern over the entire situation. Official

A ashlngton is unable accurately to

forecast this movements exact atti

tude because it is recognized that the president finally will dictate . its : police, andthat members of the cabinet will be behind him in almost any attitude. .
