The Useful Lemon.

Lemon juice is frequently used in place
of vinegar either as flavoring medium
or to preserve the whiteness OF various
meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. IL
is also valuable for its medicinal prop
critics. Squeeze it into glass OF wa.
ter every morning and drink without
sugar. It will keep your stomach in
the best of order. If you have bad
headache, cut the lemon into slices and
rub these along your temples, and it will
relieve the pain. Add few drops to the
water with which you brush your teeth.
1t will prevent tartar and sweeten the
breath.

GREATEST
CALAMITY
IN HISTORY
If Germany Had Not Been So
Hasty Present War Would
Have Never Occurred.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-T:40 p. M
The foreign office issued in the form
Of white paper this evening the re-
port of Sir Maurice de Bunsen, late
British ambassador at Vienna on the
rupture of diplomatic relations with
Austria, in which the ambassador de-
clares that Austria and Russia had
about reached an agreement on the
Austro- Servian dispute when their con-
versations were cut short by the trans,
fer of the dispute to the more danger
Gus ground of a direct conflict be.
tween Germany and Russia.
The ambassaS5r says that although
two days previously he lad refused to
consent to the continuance of the con.
versation at st. Petersburg, Count Won
Berchtold, the Austro- Hungarian min.
lister of foreign affairs, on July 30, al
though Russ a had been partially mob
ilized, agreed in a most friendly man.
ner that the conversations should be
continued
"From now on" says the ambassa-
dor, "the tension between Germany and
Russia was much greater than between
Austria and Russia, as between the
latter an arrangement seemed almost
in sight, and on August /. l was in
formed by Count Schebeko, the Rus
sian ambassador, that Count SZapary
Austrian ambassador at st. Petersburg,
had at last conceded the main point of
ssue by announcing to the Russian for
eign minister, M. SaZOnoff that Aus
tria would consent to submit to medi-
alton the points in the note to Servia
which seemed incompatible with the
maintenance of Servian independence.
I'M. Sazonoff had accepted this pro-
posal on condition that Austria would
refrain from actual invasion of Servia.
Austria, In fact, had fully yielded; and
that she herself, at this point, had
good hopes of peaceful issue is shown
by the communication made to you
on the first Of August by Count Mems

dom that Austria had neither banged
the door on compromise nor cut off
the conversations.

spirit. Certainly 1t was too much for
Russia to expect that Austria would
hold back her armies. But this matter
probably could have been settled by
negotiations, and Count Schebeko re-
peatedly told me that he was prepared
for the acceptance of any reasonable
compromise.
unfortunately these conversations
at st. Petersburg and Vienna were cut
short by the transfer of the dispute to
the more dangerous ground OF direct
conflict between Germany and Russia.
Germany intervened on July 81 by
means of her double ultimatum 10 st.
Petersburg and Paris. These ultimat-
ums were of kind to which only one
reply was possible, and Germany de-
clared war on Russia August l and
on France August 3.

The crossing of the Meuse which the
Germans have selected at Consenvoye,
IS just out Of range Of the fortress guns

now ending is concerned they have
not to reckon with this stronghold,
except as It offers support to the French

many lines Of retreat as possible in

LONDON, Sept. 16-(9:20 p. ny
The German army, which less than a
fortnight ago, was at the gates OF
Paris" and the right wing Of which
then extended to the southeast Of the
French capital, is tonight drawn upon
almost straight line extending from
the neiohborhood Of Noyon in the
west Of Bois -.Foroes on the Meuse,
north Of Verdun, with its left resting
on the German fortress Of Metz. Thus
the right wing, at least, has gone back
more than 70 miles in two weeks,
while the rest Of the army has also had
to retire before the whole command
could find ground to make another
stand against the advance Of the allies.
That the Germans intend to give battle
on this line, with the river Aisne In
front Of their right, the hills Of Rheims
facing their center, and the mountains
and forests Of Argonne on their left,
there seems little doubt. They went
back steadily before the French and
English armies, fighting only rear
guard actions, until their right, In
command Of General Won kiuck, got
across the Aisne.
Then they turned and delivered
several counter attacks, which, how
ever, according to the British report,
were repuIsed, the Germans leaving
200 prisoners in the hands Of the
British.
These counter attacks doubtless
were delivered in the hope OF giving
the troops of the right wing, exhaust
ed by the long advance followed by
retreat almost as long, the oppor
tunity of resting and preparing posi-
tions from which they could resist at
tacks on the allies, and in which they
are taking up the offensive again.
The Germans are in the hilly coun
try around Noyon on the plateau north
Of Vic-Sur-Aisne and scissors, anc
north Of Rheims, where they are dig
gng strong entertainments and re
ceiving reinforcements. But even here
this right wing, which has up to ths
present borne the brunt Of the fighting
in the advance and the retreat, is mol
altogether safe, for the French army
operating from Amiens, cIngs to its
flank, while the British and French
forces continue to press in front.
at is essential, however, that they
should hold their positions, for they
cover the lines Of retreat to the north
which would be the only way out il

of Verdun, where, it is said, the allies
right wing is pushing the Germans
northward.
The fact that the battle is raging
within short distance of Paris passes
almost unbelief at the French capital.
The trains filled with prisoners or
wounded do not pass through the city,
but around it over the belt line rail
ways to provincial centers. Those of
the wounded who are able to converse,
declare that the fighting is fierce, but
that the allies feel success in the end
is certain.
