DIRT CLEARANCE.

IS az is good plan for every bather to know
s%I something Of the soap he uses. There is a
llNs well-foundsd objection to using iloor-clean-
- = ing soap Upon the human body. Ivory Soap
is the baher's soap. 1t costs more than common
soaps but the difference is in the ingredients and
making. Why not treat yourself with little respect
Is not the human skin with its marvellous deicacy
entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap-it floats.

The Daily Chronicle says:
''Mr. Conger has at last opened the
eyes of the state department to the
real character of orientals."
The Daily Express prints this morn
ing a long letter said to have been
written by Vice Admiral Seymour, in
which he stoutly defends his action in

THE CHINESE SITUATION
Pekin Relief Expedition is Asking for
KeInforcements

Owing probably TO the Pelin wire
being cut, little news Of conditions in
the Chinese capital has come through.
What has come indicates that the
allies are in need Of reinforcements.
The urgency of the request caused
the sending of 400 marines from the
Italian cruiser Fiermosca. An appeal
has come to Washington from Iii Hung
Chang asking the appointment of a
peace commissioner and for cessation
of hostilitics. but as the conditions
laid down by this government in its
note of August L., have not yet been
complied with, steps along the line of
peace, until the powers are able to
learn the true situation in PelSin, and

Forces From Pekin.

London, August II dispatch says:
A cablegram to Vienna from Hong
announces the capture of Pekin, but
the Austrian government, like other
European powers, is still without con-
firmation of this report.
An official telegram, dated Taku,
August IA, has been received at Rome,
which asserts that the attack on Pekin
began Monday, that Sir Claude Nc.
Donald, the British minister, has
opened communication with the reliev-
ing force, and that the allies have es-
tablished their headquarters at Tung
Chau.
Chinese officials in Shanghai are re-
ported as admitting that the allies i'm
fiicted heavy defeat on the Chinese
imperial troops around Tung Chau
Sunday and then marched direct 10
Pekin. This, il true, carries the Japa-
nese official advices announcing the
capture of Tung Chau, one step farther.
The western powers, according to a
dispatch to the London Daily Express
from Kobe, have accepted the pro-

arranging an armistice, dependent
upon the immediate delivery of the
foreign legations to the allied forces,
or the granting permission Of the allied
forces to enter Pekin and to guard the
legations Upon these bases, the cor
