It means the victory of autocracy over democracy, and it means this not merely for Eu- rope, but for us; if we should escape the actlal domination of Germany, we would still be compelled, in pure self- defense, to maintain great armies and navies, to change our government into an effective military machine, and to treat with other countries upon the basis of armed duellists. That, to my mind, is the reason why we are fight- ing. Just as in the Revolutionary war our forefathers fought England in order to win the chance to live in freedom, just as in the Civil war many of our fathers died in the belief that they were struggling to extend and make permanent that freedom, so we of today must bend every energy of body and mind to perpetuate .and make safe that same freedom.’” ¢ 7 put out, | gel Aldo of 137 Ouk street has ! 4 to the police that he struclt NEw ENELAN“ MEN dentified man on the West i road Saturday afternoon | not hurt him badly.

At the timp of enlistment this young man was studying at Syracuse and be- cause he was under weight was not eligible for military service and could have finished his college education.

Boston, Aug. 18.—Wilfred Wheeler, secretary of the state board of agri- culture, said today that the heavy rain of last week saved many of the crops in this state from at least partial ruin, KEELEY’S BILD LARGE. Mayor and Aldermen to Discuss Chargee for Treating Rables. * The mayor and the aldermen, while not denying the right of Willlam F. Keeley, the garage owner, to present: a bill of expenses accumulated at the Pasteur Institute in Brooklyn, N. Y., for treatment of the rabies incurred from a dog bite some months ago, be- lleve that the bill Mr. Keeley has pre- sented is much too large. The city is obliged to pay for the treatment of any person bitten by dogs and the city will receive recom- pense for its expemnse from the state. Mr. Keeley claims that not only were his personal expenses heavy during his stay in Brooklyn, but that his time and attention were diverted from his garage business so’ ‘that he suffered considerable loss in that way. The bill will be either approved or reject- ed at the hearing to be given Mr. Keeley tomorrow evening in the City hall. At the meeting tomorrow evening the matter of tax rebates will be taken up. Among others who want tax re- bates are O. F. Curtis, who wants the Curtis building on Church street taxed less. A bill of Mrs. Cornweyy of Chestnut street for sidewalk repairs will be considered, UP TO TROLLEY MEN. ansas City Union Recelves Proposi- tion to. End Strike. ] Kansas City, Aug., -13.—The next move in the traction strike which be- gan here last Wednesday when more than 2,000 employey of the Kansas City Railway company quit work, tie- ing up transportation so completely that not a car has run since, today was placed squarely before the strikers. Following a conference between the street rallway officers and their em- ployes lasting far into last night, the company presented a tentative pro- posal to the men which, alang general lines, conformed to their demands. Reinstatement of discharged employes and recognition of the men organi- zation was the cardinal points em- bodied in the propesal. The traction company offered to re-employ men discharged after August 1 of this year and would not discriminate against employes because of union affiliations. ‘The strikers' reply is expected today. San Francisca, Aug. 13.—G. W. W, Hangars member of the United States board of mediation and conciliation, is here today to try to arbitrate differ- ences over which 8,500 employes of the Southern Pacific company threat- ened to strike two weeks ago. He will meet representatives of the company and the faur railroad brotherhoods in a series of conferences tomorrow. The men threatened to strike unless certain of the company's declarations ‘on grievance cases were modified. Events Tonight Superior Photoplays at the Lyceum. JHigh class photoplays at Fox's.
