In the afternoon the (Jerrnan lire slackened and I believe the Hermans were already commenting to retreat. I saw the entiladlng !ire on their extreme right already beginning. To the eye witness the retreat of tire Herman army is a real defeat and no ruse. No danger appears to threaten the allies unless the Hermans are heavily reinforced. Occasionally black smoke arose where the siege gun shells burst. Here and there in the city and the surrounding country ilres Jlamed up. smoked and then went out. Hehind the lines the Infantry slept waiting their turn. It was the greatest panorama of Avar I have ever seen and there was war as far as the eye could see. ST1-:A M S 1 1 1 1 MOVF.MF T. Ni:V YOKK.

Late News from the Surrounding Towns

cahijsij:. 15. A. Haroutte. trustee of Oliver township, has received the following letter from D. N. Hurty. secretary of the state hoard of health: "Indianapolis. Sept. 10. "Dear .Sir: Will you please permit me to congratulate yen upon your school manual of 1'.14 and 1915? "In looking over and considering its many excellent features I am led to think of the vast benefit the people everywhere would enjoy if every trustee would take an interest in his schools f qual to that which you have taken. "1 note you still have a number of one-room district schools: these should be abolished as soon as possible so that the rural children may have school advantages equal to that enjoyed by most city and town school children. It is a distinct handicap for rural children to be compelled to attend tho school that is not graded, whe-e domestic science and manual training are not taught and where library and lahratory are not found.
