"I believe that the Germans have

made their last advances and there are 1,400,000 reasons In France for that belief," said Irvin Cobb, humorist and magazine writer, at Chautauqua Thursday evening. Cobb has been on the battle fronts twice, once at the outbreak of war in 1914 and again in 1918. He returned to the United States from France two months ago. "When I have seen this civilized warfare, so cruel, so brutal and so necessary," he said, "when I see these boys bearing themselves bravely at the front before danger and discomfort, I want to tell my fellow Americans that the courage and the gallantry and cheerfulness never wavers and never lags. A grim determination permeates the highest general down to the lowest private to put this job through.

"When we were with a truck tram (and persons need not think that truck drivers do not have a hard time because they do), the truck was shelled. .The sergeant reported seven wounded. We hurried to administer to them, but we only found five men. We concluded that the sergeant In the excite

ment had counted incorrectly so we moved on. When we had reached Montdidier and were returning we saw two figures staggering up the road covered with blood from head to foot. They had torn their shirts and baadaged their wounds with them. With their ams dripping with blood they feebly raised their hands in salute to the officer and reported "fit for duty." You can't whip a nation that sends over whelps like that. No nation ever sent nobler or more fitting specimens of manhood than we are sending. "No nation in any war ever had better allies than we have in this war.

Nations Made Over. "The nations are being made over in the fiery furnaces of this war. Italy, Belgium, wearing the marks of so many sacrifices, Britain transformed from the slothful old Grand

mother to the splendid, military Bri-1

tain of old, and the land that had buried one million and a half men, two million wounded and disabled, and yet a land, maimed and bruised, broken and drained at every point for four years, stands ready with what is left of her to fight on until those objects which we want to do away with are exterminated France. If we make ten thousand sacrifices to every one that we have made now and then make ten thousand more we will still have given less than France. "I shall never forget the sensation that came to me when, a shell burst in a place in which I had been standing just a second before. Three of us, all writers, were present and under

(By Associated Preas-1 1 AMSTERDAM. Aug. 23. A policy of "unrelenting power" was urged upon the former Russian emperor by his mother the dowager empress of Russia early In 1916, according to the secret diary of the emperor as published by the Izvestian of Moscow. The alleged letter, was dated Jan. 14, 1916, shortly before the assembling of the first duma. According to a Moscow dis

patch to the Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung, of Easen, the abbreviated text reads: "Dear Nicky: We are deeply thankful for your dear letter. It breathes a new spirit. If early we had been more energetic and shown more firmness In the exercise of power much would have been avoided. I do not understand why Witte (one-time Russian premier) lost so much time. "Now the question which greatly occupies and disquiets me the question of the cabinet and crown domains which these swine wants to take from us according to their various party programes. They must be Impressed with the fact that no one shall dare to interfere with these personal rights of the emperor and his

family. It would be a great historical mistake If we now gave way in the slightest point. Every concession were Interpreted as weakness. Our absolute principle must now be a policy of unrelenting power." The letter, which was written partly In Russian and partly In French, closes with the repeated admonition, "Be strong.!"

that we would stand there as an example of fortitude. Then we discussed the natter and decided that for our own sakes, but for the sake of posterity and for the sake of literature, we had better move away. However, I do not want you to think we ran, but I shall admit that we passed some persons who were running. It was on thia occasion that I discovered and proved that a fat man after he has lost that precious commodity called wind, can keep on running just the same." Cobb praised the negro in this war, saying, "The first American private to win the Croix de Guerre in this war with a complexion like the bottom of a coal pile. His name was Henry Johnson. Four negro regiments are now holding front line trenches and no soldier U more apt or quicker ii discipline. The word "nh'ger" which has .lUeys left a sting in tae heait will never rean anyth'"g after th. war but true American."

Americans Show BreeH.

"I had an opportunity to see how j

these men of ours would act in an emergency before I reached the soil of France. I was on the sister ship of the Tuscania, the only American transport ship loaded with troops to be sunk by a submarine. The men on board the TViscanla were raw troops, and some of them had never been on board ship before, but when they knew that the ship had been struck, they drew up in company formation, of their own volition, and as they stood there waiting they sang "Where do we go from here boys."

"On another occasion, volunteers were asked to go out on a dangerous duty going through barbed wire and Into shell holes. The officer asking for volunteers said, "All will not come back, perhaps none of you will come back. Every one who will volunteer will please step one pace forward. Out of those 834 Ohio kids, 834 took

one step forward. Hundreds volunteer to do this sort of thing and men sob" because they have not been assigned to duty. This is the sort of thing that Uncle Sam can do in an. emergency. Germans Sent to Slaughter The Germans were sent out like cattle to the slaughter. At one time I saw a field piled twelve feet high with Germans and I am sorry that I did not have the pleasure of Being the body of the German kaiser stretched out on top as a fitting ornament. "I am proud that my country along with her allies has contributed to the last ounce of red blood and energy and money to make this world a fit place for people to live in. We must kick the last vestige of mania out of Germany. We must exterminate the divine right of epileptics to rule over human beings. "With all her faults there are two things America has never done. She has never waged a war for conquest and she has never been licked. In this war we mean to keep up our reputation."

AMSTERDAM. Aug. 23. General

Petapoff, commander of the red guard army in the Murask , region Is a prisoner in the hands of the allies, says a Petrograd dispatch to the Weser Zeitung, of Bremen. He was caught by peasants while attempting to flee southward, and handed over to the British. Russian red guards, after the capture of Bimbirsk, on the Volga, according to a Moscow dispatch to the Hamburg Nachichten, publicly hanged in the market place 300 Czecho-Slo-vak prisoners. The hangings, it is declared were a reprisal for "atrocities" committed in the town during Its occupation by the Czechs. LONDON. Aug. 23. British and French troops were engaged in the

battle but the brunt of the fighting

fell on the Cossack and Czecho-Slovak troops. Japanese units aided in the re

tirement. Bolsheviki monitors, operating on Lake Hangka, are harassing the allied left and have detained additional Czech forces. Commands are being

given the Bolsheviki in German. The Ussuri river forms the eastern boundary of Manchuria. Twelve Limited Service Men Called by Board A call for 12 limited service men to go to Camp Grant. Wis., was received at the Richmond conscription board

Friday. The men will entrain Detween September 3 and 6. Bentley Gives Final Lecture on War Questions The fifth and final lecture on great questions of the war was given Friday morning by J. H. Bentley ,the platform manager of the Chautauqua, and principal of Richmond high school. The main points of the lecture were explaining the peace which Germany proposes, in which she dictates to the world what should be done in the settlement, and Mr. Bentley maintains that the only way to have a settled peace Is to treat with the allies as a whole instead of by separate nations, and that the "good faith" and national

honor of Germans only can be re

gained by a new dynasty in that country. ROBBINS OUT OF HOSPITAL

The Commercial club board Friday

noon approved the report' presented j by the special committee, which was appointed by the president, Howard; Dill, of the Commercial club, to investigate the matter of an appropriation by the city council for additional equipment at the Municipal Light, Heat and Power company. The club members will urge the appropriation at the city council meeting Monday night. The boiler capacity at the plant consists of six, totaling 2122 H. P. Four of these boilers total 1104 H. P., were installed in 1901 and Tiave been In continuous service for 17 years, and can be operated only at 150 pounds pressure. Two boilers 1018 H. P. were installed in 1913, the operating pressure

of which is 160 pounds. No doubt when these last two boilers were installed they were large enough to

carry most of the load of the time, I but the demands have increased such!

that at the present time, during the peak load all six of the boilers are in use. In fact, sufficient time to clean

and turbine the tubes can not be

taken, which is resulting In a very

rapid deterioration of the boiler equipment.

Again when the last two boilers can i

be used alone at 160 pounds pressure, i the turbine is operating at Its maxl-j

mum capacity, but as the demand In-1

creases the old boilers have to be cut I

in, the steam pressure must be reduced to 150 pounds, and, the overall efficiency of the generating apparatus falls. Owing to the antiquated type or stokers used on these boilers and that , no provision was made to remove the ash and clinkers from the furnaces, In an efficient manner, it is simply

Impossible to operate these boilers at an overload. Additional boiler equipment is an absolute necessity.

two big guns and the famous Liberty motor. Captain Reinhart will drop literature over the fair grounds and go

through many evolutions required of fliers in their service in Europe, lending this help to the close of the War Stamp drive in Dark county and incidentally to provide fair visitors with an entertainment nowhere to be secured for money.

If the weather and other conditions will permit, Captain Reinhart will ! alight and ascend from the center j field and will so arrange his program

that those occupying seats in the grand stand may see his every move. This will undoubtedly be one of the greatest drawing cards ever brought to the great Darke County Fair. During the past few months numerous U. S. flying machines have been passing over Greenville and Darke county, but few people have ever had the opportunity of a close-up view or have seen any of the stunts performed by such kings of the air as Captain Reinhart, He will do all those fancy stunts the tail-spin, the loop, the glide- and all those thrilling things necessary in actual service and attendants at the Great Darke County Fair are assured an entertainment such as they have never before seen. J. E. FOLKERTH, Secretary. Adv.
