THE Acme Book Store people have
arranged to give away fifty Vive
souvenir cameras. This firm has
built up great trade in cameras and
supplies and the giving away of fifty
cameras by them is done to further
advertise their business. The date
will be announced later
BUT two Of the tanks to be built at
the Pump Station remain unfinished.
One of these is well under way and
the grading on the other has been be-
gun. They will both be completed by
the last of the coming week. Five
tanks are finished. The men have
had to work without any roofing gang
and this has held them back some

THE excursion business on the

devoted to honoring the nations dead

THE record of the Charles Town
Bridge company is broken. They
have never had a serious accident of
any kind before. A peculiar co Incl

very fortunate and had never had
man seriously hurt during all OF their
experience.
SOME of the American tourists to
Europe are in rather embarrassing
position. 1t is estimated that 1000
Of them are now stranded in London.
They are divided into two classes, the
tourist who lost or spent all his money
and the unfortunates who were lured
to the metropolis by gilded stories OF
opportunities to more than make their
way while visiting the exposition and
touring Europe. Some of them know
more now than they did.
THE old notion about candy being
unwho lesome is being dissipated.
Germany some years ago introduced
chocolate in the rations Of her soldiers.
Engla nd followed her example, the
queen sending 500, 900 pounds OF choc-

ish soldiers. The United States is
following in the same path and candy
has been added to the regular army
rations Of the American soldier. One
New York firm shipped fifty tons of
confectionery during the past year
for the armies in the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico. The candy Is

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Confronting Allies Should LegatIonsrs Re
Held as Hostages.

Held rs Hostages.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Should the
ministers at Pekin be still alive and
should the imperial government deter
mine to hold them, together with their
families and other foreigners, including
women and children, as hostages, the
problem confronting the powers would
become more difficult than in any other
contingency that could be imagined.
China's object in holding them as
hostages would be, of course, to stay
the advance of the international troops
and perhaps to compel the evacuation
of China under threat il the demands
from Pekin were not complied with the
ministers and all the other foreigners
would be killed. Such proceeding by
country that has been admitted to
diplomatic relations with the civilized
world would seem to be almost incon-
ceivable, and the authorities do not be-
lieve that even China is capable of it.
In view of the experiences of the past
few weeks, however, it is being con-
sidered as one of the possibilities.
What course the powers would pursue
it is impossible to predict. What course
the United States state department
would advise the officials will not say.
They declare that it will be time enough
to determine that question when it
arises. 1t is the opinion among admin
istration officials, however, that II
China should adopt this course the ac-
tion of the powers would be determined
by an international conference or by
the exchange of views between the
capitals interested. II is a question
that no one power could determine in
dependent of the others, and no sug-
gestion has yet been made by any OF
the powers as to the course that should
be pursued.
