Germany's newest cruisers, the Mainz and
another vessel of the same class, have
been destroyed and still another left sink

have been sunk and many damaged, and
no British ship has been lost.

war in the North Sea 1t is only, of
course, the beginning. but 1t is fine be-
ginning. II will give the navy renewed
confidence, and II will cheer not only the
nation. but the empire
The first action. as the oficial mes
sage states, has been fortunate and fruit
full Owing to the wise conception OF the
plans Of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, we
had an overwhelming force. 1t operated,
OF course, In a dangerous area. but 1t
was injured neither by the submarines
nor the mines. In the course of the
fighting the only injury Of consequence
to our ships consisted in some damage
to the cruiser Amethyst and to the de-
stroyer Laertes. while the British loss of
life was not heavy. This is an exploit
In which We may well take pride II
would have given Nelson pleasure, for
the German ships were practically an
initiated. and he always desired, not
victory, but humiliation.
The British force went boldly In after
its best style and brought out the enemy
to unwilling action. The business was
carried out in good, mastery style on
historic lines. the large body Of destroy

Of hemp in the United States appears to

The blue grass region Of Kentucky is

grown, and even there the acreage is
decreasing. The crop. according to the
planters themselves, is profitable, and its
merits are great

London. Aug. S.-Every day it be-
comes increasingly dificult to understand
what is happening along the French from
tier.
The news (which filters through is vague
and contradictory. AL information con-
corning the positions Of the French main
armies OF the north is vigorously sup
pressed.
How is 1t that the allies have been SO
badly served by aeroplane service, II 1t
is true, as officially reported, that the I'M
expected strength of the German army
took the French general stan completely
by surprise when they attempted an
abortive forward movement on Sunday
from Chimay TO Charleroi?
How is 1t that absolutely nothing is
definitely known concerning the strength
Of the German right wing, which is only
held back by the strenuous resistance of
the British army?
Why has the German cavalry been al
lowed an absolutely free hand to over
run the whole of Belgium and the north
Of France, thus causing something like
panic and perhaps forcing the with
drawal of the allies left wing?
What has become OF the masses Of
French cavalry on which SO much re-
lance was placed and whose brilliant
operations have been the feature OF all
their maneuvers of recent years?
Surely no more favorable ground could
be found for the employment Of these
Independent cavalry divisions than the
north of. France and the plains OF Bel
GUM. Yet continuous German cavalry
raids and an immense screen OF horse
men have concealed the movements of
the main armies since they entered Bel
GUM without any corresponding effort
on the part Of the French cavalry to
check them

Three Austrian army corps, 10000 men,

LADIES' HAIRDRESSING In

When I was in Europe this year
found both cities so thiclSly dotted
with hairdressing parlors and hair
goods stores that 1 wondered if the
women ever had time for anything
but care of the hair. Personally
was chiefly interested in finding a
really good shampoo and 1 found that
they never use makeshifts but always
some item made for shampooing only,
and / was happily surprised when sew
eral inquiries each brought the sug-
gestion that our own American made
canthrox shampoo is best. They like
1t because in addition to being per-
fectly safe and making the hair free
from all dandruff, excess oil and dust.
It is so simple to get canthroX from
any druggist and just dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water, know
Ding you will then have a preparation
that makes the hair not only entirely
clean but so fluffy that it appears
very heavy. Canthrox stimulates the
scalp to healthy action, making the
head feel good, and the hair look
