THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. 10
The British ambassador to Germany
arrived here Saturday from Berlin.
He said that he had no complaint to
make of British citizens being i'll
treated in Germany and declared that
the United States ambassador was
acting with vigor to protect the inter
ests given to his care.
A reporter who travelled with the
Ambassador said newspaper men had
been thrown in jail, although q num-
Der were sent out of the country and
others compelled to furnish ironclad
credentials. Frederick Werner, cor
respondent for the International News
Service, was among the few allowed
to remain without question, he being
a German subject.
There was no trace of war along
our route" said member of the am.
bassador's staff.

ships to vote him $4,000 "sight unseen" That
Wayne and Boston townships voters are not
such '.boobs," as Get-Rich-Q Quick Walngford
would call Them is shown by the sane action of
the commissioners, in perfect accord with the
well known sentiments of majority of the
voters, in refusing to call the elections.
Even if Mr.. Purtelle had been voted the SUBJ
sides he would be unable at this time, no matter
how high his standing in the traction world, to
obtain the rest of the money necessary to finish
the line. Our country is going through ex-
tremely serious readjustment period on account
of the outbreak of the greatest war in the his
tory of the world. This war will not be over in
month nor in a year. It marks the beginning of
a terrific struggle for world mastery between
the greatest nations of the earth. At such a
time investment bankers the nation over are
conserving their resources and protecting invest
ment already in existence. They not figur-
ing on going into any new enterprises nor will
they until conditions are far more settled than
at present.
Mr.. Purtelle has to build his proposed road
with borrowed money. During war times the
interest rates on money are always at the high
est. Therefore if the Purtelle road were by some
inconceivabe means to be pushed through to
completion by 1916, it would be at the expense
of very high fixed charges for the capital bor-
rowed. This would in turn mean high freight
and passenger rates for the communities depend
ent on the proposed road. And that would not
be good business proposition for those commu-
mites.
The voters of Wayne and Boston townships
have no more reason to part with their cash in
enormous subsidies at this time than the invest
ment bankers Of Philadelphia. They need to
conserve their resources as much as the biggest
tinanciers during such times of world war.
Therefore, Mr.. Purtee will undoubtedly be bet
ter off financially if he exercises his foresight at
this time and doesn't push expensive preliminary
operations that are inevitably bound to remain
in the preliminary stage only for several years.

Sensible Action on Subsidy

The county commissioners have acted very
wisely in refusing to call township elections to
vote on the enormous subsidies asked by Eugene
Purtelle for his proposed Hamilton and Rich
mond interurban line They have saved the
townships involved a useless expenditure OF
money for election expenses as the voters would
never have ratified such an outrageous dip into
the public treasury.
Purtelle, after realizing what action the COM
missioners would take made proposition to
give the townships of Wayne and Boston,
100000 and $4,000 in six per cent preferred
stock in return for voting the subsidies he want
ed Aside from the fact that his record locally
would be in better odor had he made this part
of his original proposition, the voters OF these
respective townships are not very apt to be car
ried off their balance by the promise of such Sc
curites.
The age of subsidies for privately owned pub
lie utilities is over in all we'll settled and long
established communities. Promoters OF any
standing have no difficulty in interesting the
big investment bankers in any meritorious propo-
stion Philadelphia has become the financial
center for investment bankers who underwrite
traction propositions. If Mr.. Purtelle has any
standing in the traction promotion world he
would have no difficulty in securing the neces-
sary financial backing for the Hamilton and
Richmond line, providing the Philadelphia bank
satisfied to its feasibility.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS

Richmond People Have Absolute
Proof Of Deeds at Home.
It's not words but deed that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Richmond kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Rich
mond people.
r. C. Lankert, retired farmer, 221 NJ
Fifth ST., Richmond, says: II had
rheumatic pains in my back and
limbs and the action of my kidneys
was irregular and painful. When I
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised,
l used them and they soon gave me
relief"
Mr.. Lankert is only one of many
Richmond people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mr.. Lark
er had-the remedy backed by home
testimony soc all stores. Foster-Mil-
