BRING ANTWERP
Fighting Extends From Swit
zerland Through Belgium,
Official Report.
DUTCH BECOMING UNEASY
tflrlemout Is Reported Captured
Though Belgians Say They
Are Baiting the
Enemy.
LONDON. Aug. 20. 3 A. M. The ad
vance of German troops around and
above Brussels, and even Into what
re practically the suburbs of Ant
werp, is Indicated In Reutor dispatches
Irom Antwerp, which report that Ger
man cavalry have been encountered
near Herenthals, 15 miles east of Ant
werp, and also near Turnhout, which
Is 24 miles northeast of Antwerp and
close to the Dutch frontier.
LONDON. Aug. 20, 1:20 A. M. A
Havas dispatch from Brussels gives an
official communication concerning the
present state of field operations.
German Gain Admitted.
"After having lost much time and
a greater number of men, and besides
important war material." the dispatch
says, "the Prussian right wing has
succeeded in gaining on both banks of
the Meuse.
"The German troops on the north
bank of the Meuse comprise sections
of different army corps, whose efforts
have been engaged toward the capture
of Liege and who are now disengaged.
There are also bodies of cavalry, thanks
to which the Germans have been able
to make considerable disturbance and
extend themselves north and south.
French Win on -"nth Side.
"On the south the allied Belgian and
French armies have been able to re
pulse them, but on the north, on the
contrary, they have had a free field
and could penetrate in small bodies
far Into the country.
"In a word, the Germans have taken
a number of our positions, but have
wasted 15 days in arriving at this
result.
"Fighting is going on on the whole
front, extending from Basle, Switzer
land, to Diest, Belgium.
Germans Baited, Is Hint.
"There is need for us to play into
the hands of the Germans. That is
the motive of the movement now being
carried .out. Far from being beaten,
we are making arrangements for beat
ing the enemy under the best possible
condition'
LONDON. Aug. 20. 5:20 A. M. A dis
patch to the Times from Brussels says:
"The Germans in strong force, most
ly cavalry and artillery, entered Tirle
mont early this afternoon (Tuesday).
"The big guns shelled the place,
while the cavalry played at war by
attacking the flying, panic-stricken
population, shooting and sticking them
at random."
LONDON, Aug. 20. (2:30 a. m.) A
despatch to the Daily Express from The
Hague says:
"A bulletin posted here states that
the Germans and Belgians are fighting
bitterly at Diest and Aerschot on their
way to Antwerp.
The Hnmic la Vneasy.
"This news is causing the greatest
uneasiness here. For the first time
in the present crisis the Dutch realize
the terrible peril which the Germans
have brought to their very doors, for
Germany's advance on Brussels can
have no other object than an attack on
Antwerp."

Association, said that there were pitch
ers In baseball who possessed every
thing except control. Because of this
defect they could not make good. He
then urged the necessity of control in
a spiritual way.
Father Ripple spoke along similar
llnee. quoting the great pitcher. Inci
dentally he told the children that after
they had attended their religious du
ties on Sunday they were at perfect
liberty as Christians to enjoy them
selves in legitimate recreation, build
ing up their bodies after they had at
tended their spiritual needs.
"Every boy In this church who i
worthy of the name of boy," said
Father Ripple, "knows who Christy
Mathewson Is Thev know that the
chief noint that has made him eo ef
fectlve as a pitcher for many years is
his control. Mr. Mathewson spoke on
this sublect of control the other day
emphasizing in a comparative way the
importance of that quality, spiritually
speaking. I, too. would like to keep
your passions In subjection, to mortify

6ir Ernest Shackleton and Men
Going South Have Routine.
LONDON, Aug. 17. Sir Ernest Shack
leton and the men who are to accom
pany him on his South polar trip have
undergone a regular course of training
to prepare them for the long and hard
walk across the Antarctic continent.
Sir Ernest says:
"One's only chance is to be hard and
aprlngy. I began every day by boxing
with one of the members of the expe
dition. We go at each other hard and a
shower bath after this exercise sends
me to my office feeling full of energy.
"The most Important thing. I believe,
is to eat and drink wisely. I have been
'on the water wagon' for months and I
shall not touch alcohol again until I
come' back from the Antarctic When
I go out to lunch or dinner I have to sit
half the time watching other people
eat. I do not follow any regular diet.
Of course. I avoid rich foods which tax
the digestive powers, but otherwise I
rat whatever come6 along, my only rule
being' to eat very little.
"On the way out, and I hope we start
in the early days of August, we shall
do a few Swedish exercises. On the
march In Polar regions we must 'live
on oneself as a camel lives on his
bump.
SARGENT QUITS PORTRAITS
Artist Says He Will Devote His
Time to Land'scape Scenes.
LONDON. Aug. 17 John S. Sargent
has declined a handsome commission to
paint a portrait of Victor J. Dowllng
for the Manhattan Club of New York
and has reaffirmed his decision not to
paint any more portraits.
To John W. Cox, who made the offer
to Mr. Sargent on behalf of the Man
hattan Club, the eminent painter said
the portrait of Henry James, which was
damaged by suffragettes while on ex
hibition at the Royal Academy, was
painted in accordance with an old
promise, otherwise he would not have
attempted even that one after making
his announcement that he was done
with portrait painting.
Mr Sargent is now devoting himself
to landscape. In which he has made
almost as great a success as he did
with portraits. He is now completing
some work for the Boston Library, the
decoration of which was In the hands
of the late Mr. Abbey at the time of his

asking a blessing before partaking of
dinner in the home of Dr. W. J. Washa

The -first day's trotting and pacing
at the Rose City Speedway Wednesday
brought out fine fields of horses and
some exceptionally fast times; it
brought out, too, a record number of
insignificant accidents, and also
brought out a large crowd of spec
tators, with the fair sex sligntiy pre
ponderating. Furthermore, it proved
that the new system of scoring Intro
duced here for the first time yester
day results in too lengthy a pro
eramme for the races were not ac
tually finished until 6:55 o'clock, by
which time, of course, all those who
had to nrenare dinner and all those
under orders to be home by dinner
time had departed.
They started half an hour late and
that much delay can be eliminated for
the rest of the meet, while the man
agement announces that the pro
grammes will not be so long in any
case. In the first race, for instance
under the old point system of scoring
there would not have had to be a nttn
heat, and the same would have been
true of the last race
In the 2:25 pace Indian Hal, after
winning two heats off the reel, took
second to his great rival. Lady Hal,
and was then withdrawn through go
ing dead lame. In the fourth heat Hal
Norte, who up to this point had been
among the "also rans, passed the
judges first with Lady Hal second
On the old point system no further
heat would have been necessary, be
cause Hal Norte could not have caught
up with the bay mare's lead. As It
was, a fifth heat was called for be
causo no horse had won three out of
five. This Hall Norte romped away
with, thereby taking first money.
Darkness Causes Postponement,
An even more complex situation oc
curred in the 2:12 pace. The first
three heats saw a Titanic struggle
between the chestnut mare, May Davis,
and Weiss' brown stallion, Hal Paxton.
The mare took the first heat and the
stallion reversed positions in the two
following. In the fourth Bonnie An
trim sprang a surprise, and in the last
neat, with owner Toad taking Tom
Gorman's place, the black gelding
ain won. Bonnie Antrim and Hal
Paxton had each won two heats, but
under the new rule still another heat
must be run to decide the winner. By
this time it was too dark to continue
and the final heat will be run off to
day: that is, if Mr. Weiss' horse is any
thing like fit. In the last heat it was
all he could do to get around the track
on three legs and Bonnie Antrim
walked home on his back.
In the second heat of the 2:25 pace,
Jim Sanford. driving Lady Hal. had a
lucky escape. He was thrown through
collision in jockeying for the start and
had the presence of mind to lay prone
on the ground. Two sulkies ran over
him, but luckily he escaped every hoof
and resumed the race. In the 2:12
pace both C. W. Todd and Tom Gorman
were thrown on the back stretch, each
escaping injury, and In a desperate fin-
sh in the third heat of the 2:25 pace
the sulkies of Red Hal and Indian Hal
were locked as they passed the stand.
Enduranee Test Resnlt.
A study of the times will show how
fast the horses were in the 2:25 pace,
for the first heat was negotiated in
10U. exactly the same time as the
2:12 pacers took to cover the mile.
But again further study would seem
to prove that under the new system of
scoring the races become more of a
test of endurance than speed, for the
time lengthened right along, the last
heat taking 2:18 for both the 2:12 and
the 2:25 paces. The fastest time for
the 2:25 trot was 2:17, made in the
last two heats.
A. R. Porter's bay gelding, Great
Northern, won this last named race
with three straight firsts, Burten Car
penter's Nutway taking second each
time.
After tiie driving races there was a
fine half-mile dash, won by Ison, with
Turk up in a close finish from Drum
mer with Tampa a neck behind, and
there was a pretty colt's exercise race
for mile, won by Bagley's Cherry
City by Sovereign out of Sweet Mem
ories, owner up.

LAW ENFORCED WITH GUN
Chinese Ruler Kills Subjects Who
Receive Bribes or Gamble.
PEKIN, Aug. 17. Yuan iShi-Kai's
government, lenient for a while, has
become so severe that the summary
executions of sentences to death or
exile for political offenses are again
numerous. It is not only those who
violate the law. but also those who
but passively support it and who will
not work for reforms on whom the
hand of the law is set.
Yuan Shi-kai has found that drastic
regulations are necessary for Improv
ing the provincial administrations and
purging the country of rebels, who are
still striving to turn the army against
the President. A recent Presidential
mandate prescribes execution for of
ficials who receive bribes for pervert
ing the law. Life imprisonment is pre
scribed for those who accept bribes for
neglecting to put the law in force. It
appears from the mandate that "pun
ishment by death may take the form of
shooting" Instead of the old time de
capitation, and "penal servitude may
take the form of banishment to remote
and unhealthy provinces."
Besides rebels and corrupt officials,
persistent gamblers and secret service
men of vicious practices are also to be
put to death if the Presidential orders
can be enforced. Such lists as the fol
lowing are appearing daily, indicating
those whose life may be the forfeit of
their crime.
"Tong-chong, acting mgistrate of
Hsiao Kan Hsien, failed to perform his
duty and practiced "squeezes,' giving
great trouble to the people.
"Tu Chong-Yu. acting magistrate of
Ching Shan Hsien, allowed his rela
tives and servants to receive bribes
and to frequent evil houses.
"Tung Lai-yu, magistrate of Chia Yu
Hsien, misappropriated government
funds and has the habit of smoking
opium and gambling.
"Fang Jui-sung. acting magistrate of
Chung Yang Hsien, refused to hand
over his office when instructed to at
tend the examination of magistrates."
One regrettable phase of the drastic
programme which the government has
undertaken is the fact that many inno
cent persons have to go to the execu
tion grounds. It has long been the
practice of trade rivals or any person
who holds a grievance against another
to bring the authorities down upon
that person and perhaps bring about
his execution.
One of the most familiar methods
has been for one to send through the
mail letters which would seem to con
nect his business enemy with rebel
operations. The government author!-
ties, carefully watching the mails, de
tect these letters and, believing them
genuine, run down the person to whom
tlvey are addressed and take summary
action. Perhaps hundreds of guiltless
persons have already been executed as
a result of such fraud.
It would seem that the administra
tion could easily detect such fraudu
lent letters, but the Chinese authori
ties are still naive and life is held very
cheap because it is so wretched and
miserable.
A serious evil continues to exist in
the secret service branch of the gov
ernment. The detectives have long
made it a practice to extort "squeeses"
by threats of denunciation and to ob
tain rewards by accusing Innocent men
of complicity with Sun Yat-Sen and his
party.
An account comes from Chengtu, in
Szechwan province, of an opium
smoker being executed publicly as i
warning to others who persist in de
fying the prohibition against use of
this drug. It is not clear from the
report, but it seems to be the case,
that the execution was performed at
one of the burnings of confiscated
opium, which take place from time to
time and are made occasions of public
rejoicing.

TEXANS MAY DOUBT THIS
Plains Grass so Tall Cattle Become
Lost in It.
s&NT ANGELO. Tex.. Aug. 15. There
was a time many years ago when the
ranchers of San Angelo sang me
Green Grass Grew All Around, ah
Vround," and it didn t sound at an
like a complaint. But of late years,
and this year particularly, the green
grass is in total disrepute. The trouble
is that it has grown around everyinius
and Is so high that it hides cattle,
blocks wagons and is a beautifully
colored nuisance.
Ml of the cross cuts or tne neios
have been abandoned, for with the
grass at Us present height and strength
when a herder leaves tne roao ne may
get to another road and he may stay
In the grass. Kvery lew nours more is
a hunt for some one who has wan
dered too far from the edge for some
purpose or other and when a searcning
Dartv goes seeking a howling exile
subsequent searching parties are us
ually formed to find some of the ner-
oes of the tall grass who were origin
ally bent on rescue.
Within the last two or three weens
hundreds of lambs and many head of
cattle have wandered away In the
grass and disappeared and the lowing
of cattle, the bleating of the ewes for
their lost lambs and the general con
versation of the ranchers who have
searched without avail for their stray
ing property has made the grass as
oud as it is luxurious.
The green grass has definitely
ceased to be a Joke in and about San
Angelo.
BABY' WEIGHS 793 POUNDS
Texas Negro Barely Able to Enter
Railway Ooach Door.
PHILLIPSBURG. N. J., Aug. 14.
James Simerson, colored, of Beaumont,
Tex., wsys the biggest curiosity that
Phillipsburg has ever seen. "Baby
Jim," as he is known, Is probably the
heaviest man alive. He tips the scales
at 793 pounds. Is 5 feet 9 Inches tall,
wears a 24 collar, measures 111 Inches
around the waist and Is still growing
heavier. He Is 24 years old, one of six
children, and weighs more than all the
rest of the family put together.
Simerson can walk only about a
block without resting. There was no
seat in the Lackawanna station that
would accommodate him and he went
outside and sat on an express truck.
Among the several hundred persons
who surrounded him was Dr. J. Mitchell
Reese. The physician made an exami
nation of the man and said his heart
was absolutely normal. Simerson left
to visit friends at Morristown. He had
to squeeze pretty hard to get sideways
through the doorway of a Lackawanna
coach.
