THE MONEY BILL WINS
BILLION DOLLAR COMPROMISE
MEASURE IS PASSED.
Secretary McAdco Favors Interna-
tionaI Clearing House to insure
Disposition of Crops.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Amendments
to the bank law extending issues OF
currency to 125 per cen of capital and
surplus of banks and trust companies
In the federal reserve system, were
finally passed in the house on Tues
day. More than a billion dollars will
be available for additional circulation.
The senate promptly agreed to the
amendments, which then went to the
White House for President Wilson's
signature.
A special meeting Of the cabinet was
being held at the White House WINE
congress discussed the currency law.
Secretary McAdoo brought up the
subject of an international clearing
house association, in which the United
States and European nations should
hold membership as one method Dy
which this country might insure the
disposition of its wheat and cotton
crops in foreign markets.
With the banks of the country forti-
fed with millions Of additional cur
rency, officials feel hat the immediate
problem is how to take care of the
crops.
The Establishment of an interna-
tional association and the resumption
of trade, 1t was pointed out, would not
only result in the sale of American
crops, but would tend to bring bach
much of the gold recently exported.
New York, Aug. 6.-Conditions In
the financial district settled down to
further calm on Tuesday. Measures
taken to safeguard the general situa'
ton, including the issuance of clear
ing house certificates and the receipt
of emergency currency from Washing
ton for distribution among local banks
were found to be increasingly efec
tive.
Distribution of the emergency cur
rency. was resumed at the s~ubtreasury
Some $45, 900 900 is now available and
more is expected in the course of the
week.

mediately adjourned. A resolution

provided for the appointment of a

speaker and one memeber from each
state to represent the house at the

in the senate by Majority Leader Sen
ator Kern.
through Washington and flags were
run at half-mast. A mass Of condo
lences poured into the White House.
Ofhcial and resident society fastened.
to leave cards Of sympathy.
Doctor Grayson was unstinting in
his praise of Mrs. Wilson's bravery
and said that during her long and
painful illness she bore herself unfal
teringly. He said:
Il never saw G woman who suffered
SO keenly and endured it with such
courage. think that Mrs. Wilson first
realized that she was to die Wednesday
morn 2, when her daughters, Mrs.
Sayre and Miss Margaret, were called
home. She knew that this would not
have happened unless the end was
near. From that time she accepted i;
as inevitable and went without a fear
or treTnor into the Valley of Death.
She was a wonderful woman"
It is reported that one of Mrs. Viii
sons last statements was:
Il will pass away more peacefully
IL the alley bill is passed"
Congress was stirred to the heart
when it learned that Mrs. Wilson had
thus spoken of the pending legisla-
ton to remedy the dreadful slum con-
ditions in Washington, an object dear
to her heart.
Word was then sent to the White
House that the bill would soon be a
law and the president told Mrs. vii.
son, cheering her immeasurably. Very
quickly afterward the senate passed
the bill and before many days tl.a
elimination of the Washington alleys
will be a possibility as a living me
mortal to the gentle thoughtfu1ness of
the first ladv Of the land.

by Secretary of State Graves, as state

from the first Monday in August, 1914,
after which they will be appointed in

The chancellor asserted that this
was not a declaration of wal against
france, but no further action by Ger
many is necessary. It is the desire OF
the kaiser that France shall be the
one to declare war.
German troops have seized all the
railroads of western Poland, driving
back steadily the Russian troops that
oppose their advance. Bridges de-
stroyed by the Russians, as the fell

Three important railroad functions
in Poland were captured by the Ger

sistance being offered.

TWO FOES
ON DEFENSIVE

Berlin, Aug. Why did Ger
many declare war against Russia and
Immediately start operations against
France without a declaration?
To one with an intimate personal
knowledge of the European situation
these reascns seem most apparent.
Germany could not afford to wait for
Russia to mobilize her immense army
for an offensive blow, but in the sport
ing ~vernacular, vas forced to "get the
lump" on Russia.
The s~trategical o for this adj
vantage is to strike at ST. Petersburg,
.hus forcing the Russians to withdraw
their forces from the German and
Austrian frontiers.
Germany, by her possession of the
Kiel canal, together with her owner
ship of the great ocean liners, as aux
Hilary war craft, is in position to
make this move.
BY striking al the French along the
Franco-German frontier, Germany put
France on the defensive, and prevent.
ed a combined offensive attack by
Russia and France.
I Ii Americans had stood along the
Kiel canal last night they probably
would have seen their old friends, the
great liners Of the German merchant
marine, going through loaded with the
cream of the German army, prepared
for an invasion of Russia.
Every indication points to the mass
ing of the German fleet on the Baltic
for the purpose of covering this ad.
vance.

WIDE CHOICE IN NEcKWEAR
Variety of Styles Offered May Almost
Be Said to Be Endless In
Extent.

The fashion of wearing dresses open
at the throat has led to the adoption
of an endless variety of neckwear.
First, there was the guimpe without
eny collar at all. Now there are those
with flowing collars and plastron or
vestee fronts made of the sheerest
swiss and organdy, either hand or
machine embroidered, or tucked
Sometimes a dainty lace is added to
relieve the severity and increase the
appropriateness for use with summer
dresses. The collar of these guimpes
rolls, flares or stands away from the
neck.
Many collars are removable. They
are fastened in the back with but.
tons or strings, so that they are taken
off with ease. They are generally
made of some airy fabric, such as
tulle or lace. When they are made
high and encircle the neck they are
made to stand up by means of a very

The general assembly must act under

to Aid Others.

New York, Aug. THE armore
cruiser Tennessee, converted for the
time into a treasure ship, left port
Thursday to carry millions in gold to
the many thousand Americans who
are In want in European countries.
The destination of the cruiser is Fal-
mouth. England. The British govern
ment has given permission for the
warship to put in there. The gold
specie will be promptly shipped to
London and elsewhere.
No word has come from continental
Europe whether a vessel will be per-
mitted in ports of the other warning
countries. If Italy remains neutral
some of the refugees in the interior
may be supplied with funds from her
ports.
The cruiser North Carolina, the sec
end American treasure ship, will sail
from Boston for Europe tomorrow
night. An effort will be made to have
the North Carolina overhaul the Ten
nessee at sea and take aboard some
OF the army officers and treasury Off
Gals now crowded into the o~vertaxed
quarters of the latter ship.
The intention is to have the Tennes-
see go to the North sea after touching
at London and French ports, while the
North Carolina steams through the
Straits of Gibraltar to the relief OF
Americans along the shores Of the
Mediterranean.
The Tennessee sailed with $780,
600, including 50, 900 appropriated
by the government.
The S 100000 in gold is from the
consolidated banks.
The Tennessee's bunkers held 1000
tons of coal and it was said that II
she should run at her maximum speed
of twenty knots this supply would run
out before the end of the trip.
It's executive officer, Lieut.. Com
mander e. P. Jessop, explained the
cruiser would not attempt to make
more than twelve knots to conserve it's
coal supply. At this rate of speed
| about ten days will be required for the
trip.

dations for 200 Americans will be

Paris, Aug. There has perhaps
been no better indication of the un'
selishness and charity with which
Americans generally have accepted the
hard lot imposed on them than the ex
ceptional conduct of one m al
the embassy today and the retort
which Maj. Henry felt himself justified
in making to her.
The woman, Of middle age and vel
dressed, stormed into the embassy
and loudly demanded that some means
be found Immediately for her convey
ance home. She announced that she
had $4,000 francs in cash and insisted
on it being used to insure her trans
portation.
Very WELL" said Maj. Henry, "yor
can take your $4,000 francs and &c
outside and share it with those Ameri
cans who have not even the money
to buy a piece of bread. The United
States citizens who want to get ou'
of France are being helped in turr

Bulletin On Dust Prevention.

In response to a great demand from
all parts of the state, especially the
smaller cities and villages, the state
highway department has just issued
bulletin No. ~, on dust prevention,
and incidentally reminds the public
that good roads are dustless roads"
The table of contents shows that
among other things these subjects are
treated: Sources and causes Of dust
dust from foreign material brought
onto the road; dust from wearing
way and disintegration of the sur
face; dust originating from deep
seated causes; dust nuisance in vii
lage streets; dust on earth and gravel
roads; dust on macadam roads; dust
preventives-water, calcium chloride,
oil and tar emulsions, oils, methods of
application Of oils. The department
feels that this bulletin will aid the
state officials in their work in betterl
ing roads and maintaining them, and,
win, at the same time, be of immense
value to officials in the smaller places
where the problem of dust prevention
has been one to grapple with, and;
left unsolved.

Mr.. Voter has a mans size task right
here at home, a task consisting of
picking the best material from a field
full of aspiring candidates. And if he's
fails to study and dissect that maj
terial at leisure moments before the
primary, he will be a very much be-
wildered and a very poorly advised I'M
dividual when he steps into the voting
place on the eleventh. Never before
has the average Ohio voter been such
a monarch as he will be in this mid
summer primary. BY dint of ardent
striving, he is supposed to have taken
the whip out of the hands OF the party
boss, He has swept the b~oss-riddent
political convention into the discard
He has taken on himself the burden
