Sketch of. Von Eichhorn.
Gen. Herman von Eichhorn, the
German military dictator of Ukraine,
had a brilliant career in the armies
of the Gorman Emperor. He played
an important role In the development
of tho German military machine and
was one of the first commanding gen
erals to use tho telephone in direct
ing operations of troops in the field.
When the war broke out ho was
assigned to the Russian front, where
ho took part in several campaigns.
His work attracted much favorable
attention and he was in command of
tho German army which captured the
Russian stronghold of Kovno In Au
gust, 1915. For this achievement ho
was awarded tho Order of .Merit by
Emperor William. He continued to
direct operations in Southern Poland
until Russia's collapse.
In April, 1918, he was sent to Uk
raine by Germany to supervise the
establishment of a government for
the new republic. Upon Iiis arrival
lie placed the whole republic under
German martial law and arrested
members of Hie ministry, who, lie
said, were conspiring against tho cen
tral powers. This was followed by a
request to Herlin from the Ukrain
ian rada that bo bo recalled, but he
was retained in Ukraine as virtual
dictator. Ho brought about the
overthrow of tho Ukrainian govern
ment in May, and succeeded In plac
ing in authority Gen. Skoropadski,
who has since been operating virtu
ally under the ordors of Cen. von
Eichhorn.
Used Strong Measures.
When lt was found that the peas
ants of Ukraine had secreted their
stores of grain Gen. von Elchhorn put
into operation strong measures,which
amounted to the confiscation of all
stores of food hold In the country. It
has been reported that ruthless mea
sures were adopted against peasants
who organized to oppose the forcible
looting of their possessions.

Amsterdam, July 31.-Given two
hours in which to prepare for Iiis end,
Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian
Emperor, was taken out by lils exe
cutioners in a state of such collapse
that it was necessary to prop him
against a ,?ost, says the Lokal Anzei

received from a high Russian person
age, an account of the Emperor's last
hours.
Nicholas was awakened at 5 o'clock
on the morning of the day of his ex

sioned officer and six men. lie was
told to dress and was taken to a
room, where the decision of tho So
viet council was communicated to
him. Ho was informed the execu
tion would be carried out in two
hours.
The former Emperor, R jg added,
received tin; announcement of tho
sentence of death with great calm
ness. Ho returned to his bed room
and collapsed in a chair. After a
few minutes he asked for a priest,
with whom ho was allowed to remain
unattended.
Subsequently ho wrote several let

soldier were obliged to help htm get
to his feet. The condemned man de
scended the stairs with difficulty and
once he tell down.
As he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached he was propped against
a post. He raised his hand and seem

Last month the condition of cotton

cast. Tho crop last year amounted
to 11,300,254 bales and the average

Tho area planted to cotton this
year is the second largest on record
- 37,073,000 acres.
Where Loss Conics In.
The loss of 1.706,000 bales in tho

there was a decline of 15 points and
in Arkansas of 14 points. The aver
age decline from June 25 to July 25
in these States is from one to three

With the American Army In

server's position, but similar experi
ments from the pilot will be under
taken soon.
The aviator crawled out of his
seat when the plane was above
smooth ground and hung by his
hands with the parachute firmly at
tached to his body and lightly at
tached to the airplane. When he
jumped the parachute opened per
fectly and bore him gently to the
ground, where he landed unharmed.
This ls the first time that an aviator
has jumped from a machine with a
parachute. Experiments in the past
have been made with sandbags, which
were cut loose at varying heights.
Although Capt. Sarret's trial was
made at a height of 800 metres lt is
declared there is no obstacle to
jumping a greater distance since the
parachute lias an even better chance
to open. When successful tho em
ployment of parachutes will save tho
lives of many aviators. Airmen will
bo able to leave their flaming ma
chines and will not meet death as
did .Major Raoul Lufberry on May 19.
Capt. Sarret was in the air about
three minutes after he had cut loose
from the airplane. He was com
pletely composed upon landing and
wrote a brief message describing his
sensations during his descent.

A black band with a gold star, has
been recommended by the Woman's
Committee of the National Defense:
Council, to be worn instead of mourn- .
lng hy American women who have
lost members of their families in the
service of their country.
Tlie action of the committee at this
timo ls prompted by a feeling on
their part that we should determine
beforehand the attitude we are to
take towards the inevitable growing
death-roll of the defenders of our
country. The wearing of Buch insig
nia will, thoy feel, express better
than mourning the feeling of the
American people that such losses are
a matter of glory rather than of pros
trating grief and depression.
President Wilson has approved tho
resolution of tho Woman's Commit
tee ir, the following letter to its
Chairman, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw:
"The White House, Washington.
"My Dear Dr. Shaw:
"Thank you for your letter of yes

which a gilt star may be placed for I

"BATTLE" GRAPHICALLY TOLD.
Americans Grapple limul to Hand
With Germans in Town.
London, .July 31.-Yesterday waa
a day of sheer, hard in-and-out light
ing on tlie American front, telegraphs
lteuters' correspondent on the front
north of t^e Marne. He says that the
final capture ot Seringes by the
Americans was un especially credita
ble achievement.
After tho Americans took the vii- '
l?ge on .Monday, the Germans made
no infantry attack on the place, but
kept ui> a constant artillery and ma
chine gun lire to drive them out. This
continued all day on Tuesday, and
towards evening the enemy seemed
to think that the spirit of the defend
ers might possibly be broken and
then they began to emerge from the
Nosies forest in a way that seemed
to forecast a fresh attempt to take
the village. Of the fighting which
ensued the correspondent writes:
"The Americans after three days of
to-and-fro fighting through villages,
had learned subtlety and were de
termined to have a real fight to a
finish. They consequently withdrew ;
as if retiring from Seringes, and the
Germans crept down from tho high
ground convinced tiley had their op
ponents beaten. Additional German
troops came pouring In until the
town was occupied as it never had
been before.
Ding Around Town.
"But as tho new occupants began
to organize their defenses they found
that bullets appeared to be coming
tn from three sides of the .?Hage, j
and it was not long before they dis- '
covered that the Americans, while
withdrawing from the front of the
town, had commoncod an encircling
movement on both sides, thus form
ing a ring almost completely around
it. !
"Then came tragic fighting. The :
Prussian guard had voted not to sur- |
render, and their opponents were 1
just as anxious to see the thing
through. It was an affair of small j
arms, but the Americans proved to
be the better shots and slowly picked*
off men here and there.
"Then the Americans began to ad
vance and slowly their encircling
ring closed about the village. As the
ring drew closer and the defenders j
saw their doom approaching, they re- j
doubled their fire, but still the Amer- !
leans came on unfalteringly like a !
storm or the unavoidable stroke of I
fate. . |
"When the Americans reached the i
precincts of the village their lire
ceased and, with one wild yell, they
closed with the foe. Tho fierce up- I
roar suddenly gave placo to a strange
silence as man grappled with man.
Only Hie clash of steel on steel and
the groans of the stricken could be
heard. j
"The issue was never in doubt for j
an instant. At this kind of fighting
the American ls moro than equal to
any Prussian guardsmen, and in a
little more than ten minutes all was j
over. Except for a few German pris- j
oners, every German in the village
had breathedd his last. Such was ;
the final capture of Seringes."
