A number have passed into the valley of the river Seille evacuated by Germans and troops poured through. Our cavalry is at Chateau Halens. If this accepted as true it will be seen that the French have won all of Alsace and are well on their way to do the same, in Lor- rainne.

BOSTON, Aug. 19. "No compro mise" was the slogan with which Cof. T. Roosevelt opened the Progressive party's campaign in Massachusetts to day. He declared there should be no compromise with reactionaries in any form, while on the other hand the party would welcome those of the rank and file of other organizations who refused to follow the old leaders. The men who were responsible for the Payne-Aldrich bill, he asserted, also are responsible for the present tariff meas ures and should be opposed. Colonel Roosevelt's speech was to have been delivered at a Progressive rally and field meet at Fenway Park, but rain drove the crowd to the arena. Speaking of what he termed the per manent problem of Massachusetts. Mr. Roosevelt said "This problem must be, so far as it concerns the great industries, in which the immense majority of wage workers are engaged, to confine efficiency with the popular sharing of the rewards of that efficiency. There will be no rewards for anybody, no adequate wage for the working man, no proper service to the public unless the business pays. "The main element in the success of any business must be efficiency and the wage workers must do all in his power to contribute to this efficiency. But the wage worker who by his efficiency adds to this productivity must have that ad- ded efficiency recognized in increased wages." X BUY YOUR EUROPEAN NOW. GOODS In the midst of war's alarms, take one little piece of advice. Make up your mind to get along without goods from Europe, or buy your European hats, laces dresses, silks, and other pretty things NOW. The merchants as yet have not in creased their prices, although importa tions have stopped, and will probably stop for a long time. If your temperament is one of those temperment - that cannot get along with, American, product. y in your stock of foreign goods immeiately. By doing this you will save money and avoid sorrow and disappointment, On the other hand, if you feel that perhaps something made here is just J well, then do all vou can to get along witr cotton abroad. We have a great dea of it. The country needs to use up what it produces at present when the lack of an American navy and the rules governing contraband of war make it difficult to sell goods to our usual cus tomers. Buy all you can of the cotton goods while they are cheap and help along I dean of the sacred college is their pres American manufacturers and business, ident.

ROME, Aug. 19 Pope piu died here this afternoon following an ill ness of several days, brought on by a cold which he contracted some days ago. Pope Pius X., known as "the peas ant pope, was born of peasant paren tage June 2, 1835, in the little village of Rieset in the province of Venice. He was the eldest of two brothers, and he had six sisters. Following the cus tom ol Italian peasants, the sisters never wore hats, and they were as aim pie folk after their brother's elevation as they were before, The family name of Pope pius X. was Sarto, the Italian for "tailor." He was christened Giuseppe and was call ed "Beppo," the diminutive of Giu- seppe, by his mothers and sisters. Even after he entered the Vaticzan he was still Beppo to the three unmarried sis- ters who lived near him and with whom he spent many pleasant hours in the gardens of the Vatican. The early life of the fututre pope was much like that of other boys of his time and position. He was educated at the Salesian institute at Cottolengo and became a parish priest. It was only his unusual ability that enabled the future pontiff to complete hiseda cation, for his father had little money to spend, though the pinch of real pov erty never touched the humble family. The boy was aided materially by Abbe Tite Tosarni, who was impressed by the mental ability the youth showed It was through the abbe's efforts that 1 young Mno was aoie ro go tnrougn r , i . . l . l. school. The boy devoted himself to his books so sincerely that his scholarshd atUcted much attention. H. took many prizes in the primary school, and these resulted in his being sent to col - lege at Padus, one of the most noted universities oin the world. THE SUCCESSOR C. & L. C. The successor to Pope Pius X. will' be chosen by the college of cardinals. The elections begin at least ten days af rer the pontiff's death. The adminis tration of the church during the in terregnum belongs to the cardinals, who are to the church what the senate in this country is to the United Stares. They can undertake no importan change in the affairs of the church. Th them is merely to elect the next suc cessor to St. Peter. In the first sesssion of the conclave each of the cardinals takes a solemn oath on the gospels to observe the can ons that refer to the election in the conclave. The bills of the nine popes who legislated on the mode of pro cedure in the election of the pope by ballot in the conclave are read aloud to them. The Fisherman's ring, being Part of the ins'Snia 01 the no,y father, is now. unsealed by the master ot sere- monies, and the first session of the conclave comes to a close.
