TURKEY WAR WITH GREECE.
Believed That Turkey Is Trying ia
Force Greece to War.

Athens, Greence, Aug. 18.-While the
direct crisis over the Cretan situation
has been allayed, nevertheless it is
believed that Turkey is bent on fore
ing Greece into war. One of the con-
tributing causes of a possible state of
hostilities is the Turkish boycott of
Greek merchandise. The boycott has
taken a more serious turn and is now
affecting the Greek steamships touch
ma, and other ports. In many instances
passengers are not allowed to land
from Greek steamers. Several of the
vessels have been compelled to return

Suffering Women
Can Be Cured of Their
Female Troubles by
DR.. Darri11.
No Woman Needs Suffer
If She Desires Relief
She Can Secure It.

Ladies suffering with pain in the
head back or abdomen, it is certain
ly due to same female weakness or
uterine irritation and should be look
ed after with promptness. Pain shows
that something is wrong. The shar-
per the pain the more danger there
is in delay. Many women bear severe
pain almost constantly by falling of
the womb, ovarian troubles, leucorr-
hoea and the distress of that bearing
down feeling in the lower abdomen
and many other similar ailments rath-
er than consult a physician.
They let the months pass and the
trouble becomes more difficult and
distressing. But when such pains
give a warning it. would be we'll to
consult DR.. Darrin, who is now Wis
iting Walla Walla at the Hotel State.
His consultations and examinations
are private, free and. confidential
from 10 a. m. to s p. m. daily. No
suffering woman should fail to seek his
advice as he has put thousands on the
right road to recovery.

olution and intrigue. A scheme was
planned binding, the five states moral
ly. if not politically, into a unit. ON
paper the proposition promised We'll.
Sentiments of progressive union were
EXPRESSED at the meetings. Some elo-
o,yent sneeches were delivered in lau-
dation of the possibilities of this re-
oion under an intelligent pacific ad-
rinistration. Every one present pro-
fessed in public to believe nrmly IN
tho Man to create a series of inter-re-
nublie institutions of education, or inn
provements, of law and of diplomacy
certain. if honestly and intelligently
administered to redeem the land from
strife and to place the people on
nlane of progressive civilization.
At every stage of the proceedings
fear was privately expressed that the
president of Nicaragua, whose figure
doomed large on the horizon, was
seeking to effect the proposed combl-
nation solely for his own aggrandlze-
ment. Pessimists saw in the contem-
Mated moral union merely an oppor-
tunitv for Zeiaya to become the dicta-
tor of Central America. He has never
heen. content to manage his own affairs
within his own land, but has continue
ally interfered in the domestic politics
of his neighbors A report is now
OH file at the state department which
virtually accuses him of undertaking
to control the elections in Costa Ri
ca. In these circumstances it was not
difficult to interpret the proposed
union as a plan devised by Zelaya for
his own end. Nobody wondered when
the entire proceeding came to naught,
as far as practical results are Cum
cerned.
1t is understood that the state de-
partment will not be distressed at the
success of Estrada. 1t is most sincerely
to be hoped that if there is a change of
rulership in Nicaragua, it will not be
merely change of personality, but
that it will make for real progress in
Central America through the institu-
ton there of sound governmental
principles, which will serve as an in
spring example to the countries north
and south.

TIE NICARAGUAN REVOLT.

If the accusations brought against
chief Central American trouble maker
are justified. there will be no regrets
here over the indications of insurgent
success in the country over which he
has ruled for a considerable period.
The dispatches tell of victory by
the Estrada forces in the first import
ant battle of the revolution, in con-
sequence of which the insurgents are
in possession of the entire Atlantic
coast line While it may be impossible
for Estrada to take possession quick
ly of Managua, the establishment Of
his so-called provisional government
throughout a considerable portion of
the Nicaraguan territory will give the
United States cause to recognize him
as an actual belligerent force, which is
of material advantage in all such en-
terprises. The possession of the coast
line on the Atlantic side is likely to be
followed Dy the capture OF the racine
territory. where sentiment against Ze-
laya has for some time been dominant.
The hemming in of Zelaya between the
oceans would probably foreshadow
lis ultimate downfall. He could expect
little if any assistance from the neigh
boring states, where his interferences
have bred him enemies as bitter as
any now in open revolt against him
in his own country.
Some time ago a conference was
held in the national capital attended
by representatives of the countries I'M
mediateiy south of the United States,
the object of which was the formula
ton of Central American understand
ing which, short of an international
organization, should effect the rescue
of the five Central American repub-
lies from the constant turmoil of rev.

A NATIONAL. REFORM.

A national organization for the re-
demptiOn of Independence day from
the barbaric practices that have mark
ed it's celebration for many years
should be regarded as necessity and
not merely as the fad Of enthusiastic
reforners. The statistics of Fourth Of
annual sacrifice of life has grown to
be a menace in all parts of the coun-
try The most distressing feature of
this condition is that in many quar-
ters the deaths and maimings are view
ed as necessary incidentals to what is
mistakenly considered a wholesome
patriotic expression. Thus by some
people the efforts to check the losses
by the adoption of rigid regulations
governing the sale and use of explos-
ives are derided as indicative of a lack
of sympathy for the ardent American
youth IN his commendable outgiving
of patriotism
The experience in many cities in July
last was such as to convince practic-
ally all residents of those cities of the
value of reformatory measures. Not
one life was lost in these sane Fourth
cities during the day, nor was there a
single serious mishap due to indulg-
ence in fireworks. They We're quiet
and yet celebrated the Fourth in a
manner to bring directly home to
everybody the fact that national an
niversary was passing. No resident
Of those towns could have been una
ware of the occasion or unappreciative
of the historic reasons for commem-
Grating it. There was a sufficiency of
of all and to turn the minds of the
people, for a time at least, into patri-
otto channels.
In cities where the safe and sane
Fourth" idea has not been adopted the
death told last July was higher than
before. Despite the clean records scor-
ed by those communities where the re-
form has been established, the grand
total of casualties for the United
States was increased over that of 1908
This fact alone convinces thoughtful
people of the necessity of Immediately
extending the reform to include al
sections and cities. 1t is now proposed
TO form a national committee to pro-
mote the sane celebration of Indepen-
dence day, under the honorary chair
manship of President Taft and with
the governors of all the states as ex-
officio members. Headquarters are al
ready established in New York and q
campaign of education is being intelli-
gently conducted to bring home to the
people in all quarters the urgent need
of n rescue of the most significant day
in the national calendar from the muir.
derous methods of so-called celebration
Which have in the past desolated tens
% thousands of American homes.
