LORD KITCHENER URGES ENGLAND TO
 BE PREPARED TO
 MAKE SACRIFICES
tContinued from Page one,

That is why we have been eble to afford at the very outset of the war amelioration Not only in giv- ing moral and material support but our troops must also prove factor of high military efficiency in restrict- ing the sphere and determining the duration of hostilities.
 "Should the conditions of strategy permitted everyone in this country, all would have been overjoyed If they could have been arraigned alongside the gallant Belgian army in its superb struggle against the desperate odds which just has been witnessed Though the privilege perforce was withheld and has been denied us. the Belgians know our sympathy with them in their sufferings and the indignation at the blows which have been inflicted on them, and also of our resolve to make sure none of her sacrifices will have been without avail.
 'sWhile other countries engaged in this war have under their system of compul- sory service brought their full resources into the field we, under our national sys- tenn, have not been so compelled.
 Have Vast Reserve
 "Therefore, we still have vast reserve to draw from for resources of both the mother country and the dominions.
 ..The response which already has been made by the dominions proves that we have not looked in vain to these abundant sources of military strength. and while India. Canada, Australia and New Zea- land are sending powerful contingents, the territories of this country are replying Loyalty to the stern call of duty which has come to them with such exceptional force.''
 Continuing, Lord Kitchener said:
 More than 70 battalions with fine cour- age already have volunteered for service abroad. When they are trained and or ganized in larger formations they can take their places in the line.
 "The hundred thousand men asked for in the first place already have been .ee- cured.
 "The empire with which we are at war has called to the colors almost it's entire male population. The principle we shall observe is this: That while the maximum force undergoes constant diminution, the endorsements we prepare will steadily and increasingly flow until we have an army in the field which in numbers will not be less than in quality and not be unworthy of the power and responsibility of the British empire.
 "At this stage cannot say what will be the limits of the force required or what measure eventually may become neces- sary to supply and maintain 1t.
 "The scale of the field arnfy which we are now calling into being Is large and may rise in the course of the next six or seven months to a total of 90 divisions. to be continually maintained in the field.
 'sBut if the war should be protracted and if it's fortunes should be varied or adverse, exertions and sacrifices beyond any which have been demanded will be required from the whole nation and em- pire. And where they are required, we are sure they will not be denied 10 the extreme needs of the state. by Parliament

 SPLIT IN MEXICO
Washington Officials Con- fident Differences Will Be Adjusted-Gen. Villa
 Gives Position

Washington. August s5.--While Presi- dent Wilson and other administration of- ficials are confident the differences be- tween Carranza and Villa will be settled without recourse to arms. details of the position assumed by General Villa, as reaching here in official reports, show that the fighting general plans to insist on the elimination of Carranza from permanent power in the new Mexican ad- ministration.
 General Carranza has sent General Obregon to Sonora not only to smooth out local troubles in that state, but to con- fer with Villa in an endeavor to bring him into complete harmony with the Carranza government. General Villa $ position, as outlined to the Washington government, contains the following pro- posals, either one of which he will ac- cept
 First. a conference of military chiefs at Torreon when the first Villa-Car- ranza break was adjusted, one delegate representing every 1000 men in the army; this convention would designate a man to be provisional President, who under the constitution, could not succeed him self, but would call a general election.
 Second, Carranza can be designated a provisional President by the proposed convention, but he must agree to abide by the constitution and not succeed him self.
 General Villa would have no objection. it is learned, if Carranza retired as first chief or provisional President and be- came a candidate in the general cleo tions, but Villas followers are confident they could defeat Carranza at the polls. General Villa, it is understood from re- liable sources. has let it be known that he does not wish to enter the presidential race preferring that no military man hereafter hold the reins of power in Mex ico. It is suggested that Villa intends to propose as a candidate for the presi- dency Emilio Madero, brother of the late President.

 It is true that nature and woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound is recognized from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Tn the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and in some cases thatsit has saved them from surgical operations.
