RETREAT OF GERMANS
Paris, Sept. 6.Field Marshal von
Hindenburg has arrived on the West
ern front for the first time since the
beginning of the war and is urging
his commanders to a more stubborn
defense along the Somme.
He witnessed the retreat of the Ger
man armies under British and French
blows in Sunday and Monday's fight
ing. It was the first great battle in
which the Teutons have been engaged
since Von Hindenburg was appointed
chief of the German general staff.
The Germans are fighting desperate
ly, but during the last twenty-four
hours have been pushed steadily east
ward by the impetuous French attacks.
General Foch struck south of the
Somme Monday, while the body of
Teuton reserves were preparing to re
sist another great smash north of the
river.
The French success on this new
onslaught equals the successes of the
British on the preceding day.
Soyecourt was occupied and, extend
ing their gains far to the south, the
French occupied the village of Chilly.
The outskirts of three other villages
were seized and about 3,000 prisoners

ATTACKS SPIRIT OF FORCE
Hughes Condemns "Legislation in Ad
vance of Investigation."
Lexington, Ky., Sept 6.Charles E.
Hughes, addressing an audience that
filled the Auditorium here, condemned
"legislation in advance of investiga-
tion," and declared the United States
"had gone far toward the day when
we shall have action under pressure,
instead of in consideration of the
facts
Mr. Hughes' declaration apparently
referred to the act of congress in
passing the eight-hour bill.
"We have a new spirit abroad in
these recent days in America," Mr.
Hughes said.
"It is the spirit that says: 'Legislate
now and investigate afterward.' It is
the spirit of force. It is not Ameri-
can." CANNOT MELT GOLD COIN
English Defense of Realm Act Made to
Cover This Restriction.
London, Sept. 6.England's defense
of the realm act again has been
stretched. This latest stretch pro
hibits the melting down of gold coins.
The measure became necessary be
cause of the enormous wastage of the
nation's gold reserves caused by re
duction of gold coins for the manufac
ture of jewelry for which the excep
tionally high wages of war workers
have created an extensive demand.

Washington, Sept. 6.Sweeping de
mands, far more drastic than any pub
lished summaries have indicated, are
revealed in the secret terms being
pressed on China by Japan as a result
of the recent armed conflict at Cheng
Chiatun in Inner Mongolia.
Private dispatches received here re
veal that Japan seeks indemnities, an
apology and political concessions
throughout the whole section of inner
Mongolia and South Manchuria.
Four Formal Demands.
The four formal demands are quot
ed as follows:
OnePunishment of the command
ing Chinese officer involved in the
trouble.
TwoDismissal, with punishment,
of the other officers involved.
Three Instructions to Chinese
troops in Inner Mongolia and South
Manchuria not to interfere in any way
with Japanese troops or civilians,
and to publish this fact broadly.
Four-Recognition of "special inter
ests" for Japan in Inner Mongolia and
South Manchuria, comprising powers
of police and administration, prefer
ence in loans and the selection of all
foreign advisers, etc.
Concessions Sought.
Besides the four "demands" are four
concessions which China is asked to
grant Japan without formal demand,
as follows:
OneThe Chinese army in South
Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia to
employ Japanese military advisers.
TwoChinese schools and colleges
to have Japanese military inspectors.
ThreeA formal apology in person
from the Chinese governor of Muk
den to the Japanese governor at Dai
ren and the Japanese consul at Muk
den for the Chang Chiatun trouble.
FourMonetary compensation to
the families of the Japanese killed, the
amounts to be settled by later nego
tiations
Secretary Lansing refused to com
ment on the dispatches or to outline
what might be the attitude of the
American government.
It is known, however, that steps
will be taken immediately by the state
department through Minister Reinsch
at Peking to obtain detailed reports
and learn the full significance 'of
Japan's act.
CHINESE DENOUNCE
JAPANESE DEMANDS
Peking, Sept. 6.The Chinese press
strongly denounce the Japanese de
mands made on China in connection
with the conflict between Chinese and
Japanese troops at Cheng Chiatun,
Mongolia, on Aug. 13, which resulted
in the killing or wounding of many on
both sides. The Peking Gazette says:
"The demajids of Barbn Hayashi
(Japanese minister to China), on
China respecting the Cheng Chiatun
incident have created profound dis
appointment.
"At th moment China was begin
ning to credit the Japanese with good
will, Tokio took a step which is unin
telligible except on the theory of con
tmunity of the Japanese policy as ap
plied against Yuan Shi Kai.
"That policy is aggressive, if not
predatory. China alone and single
handed cannot withstand its pres
bure/'v
The Gazette asserts that the de
mands threaten China's sovereignty
and urges the appointment of an in
vestigating commission composed of
representatives of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Russia.

Minneapolis Man Declares Tanlac is
the Only Medicine to
Help Him.
Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 2,A.
Hallman, of Merriam Park, Minneap
olis R. F. D., is one of the hundreds
of people who have found Tanlac, the
celebrated new medicine, surprisingly
beneficial. Mr. Hallman gave a state
ment on August 22 telling why he is
so grateful to the new preparation.
"For a long time I was bothered
with stomach trouble," Mr. Hallman
said. "My stomach usually was in a
soured condition and gas often formed
on my stomach. I was frequently
bothered with heartburn. It was
difficult for me to keep food on my
stomach, especially in the mornings.
"I read in the papers accounts of
Tanlac's help for others and I decided
to give this new medicine a trial. The
gas has disappeared from my stomach
entirely since I began taking Tanlac
and for my other troubles'Tanlac has
proved very beneficial. I tried many
other medicines and none of them
helped me. I recommend Tanlac."
Tanlac, the Master Medicine is
especially beneficial for stomach, liver,
and kidney trouble, catarrhal com
plaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss
of appetite and the like and is a fine
strength builder, giving health and
strength to weak, run down men and
women.
Tanlac is now being especially in
troduced and explained in Princeton
at the C. A. Jack Drug Co. store. Adv.

"Monte Rolfe, the famous English
aviator who came here to make flights
today certainly made good his word
to have everyone sit up and take no
tice. He started from the reservation,
made a circle over the city, then
worked in toward the business district,
and when he was over the city seemed
to be flying in circles so small that
it appeared as though he could not
possibly make the turns without tip
ping over the machine. Then he shot
up and up, and up, almost out of sight,
then came down in a spiral dive, to
within a few feet of the town, and
flew away again like a streak of
lightning.
"Rolfe says his machine is very
fast, in fact faster than he cares to
have it, but he has had to fly so con
tinuously that he cannot find time to
change it. He describes the machine
as a bucking broncho, says you've got
to hold her in, or she'll sure run away.
"The flights were witnessed by
everyone in the city, and pronounced
by those that claim to know, as being
better than looping the loop."Los
