PRESIDENT BUSH IS ACTIVE
His Only Desire Is to Assist in the General Good, Declares His
 Personal Representative.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Little Rock
 AS the personal representative of President Bush, desire to assure you, Governor Hays, that the entire sym pathy and energies of the Iron Noun tain, with all its activities and fnfiu- ences. are back of this great Proflta, ble Farming Campaign that has been inaugurated by the progressive busl- ness men of Arkansas
 This statement was made by Alex ander R. Robertson, assistant to Pres ident Bush of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain. MT. Robertson, who represented MT. Bush at the conven- tion which on Monday started the statewide campaign for profitable farming. called during the afternoon upon Governor Hays. accompanied by J. c. Hollenbeck, general passenger agent, J. w. Dean, general superin- tendent, R. M. WcWilliams, assistant general freight agent, and Capt. C.. A. Pratt, one of the directors. It was purely a social call, in which the rail- road officials assured the governor that the management desires in every way to aid in the material prosperity of the state.
 Conditions that prevailed in the past no longer exist" said Mir Robert son. MT. Bush is thoroughly man of the people, whose only desire is for the general good, realizing that when the public prospers. the rail- roads will likewise prosper. The rail roads have nothing to conceal. They are dealing openly with the people. If they want anything from legisla- tive body. their representatives will go before the constituted authorities just as any other business would do. The old antagonisms. which were based largely upon misunderstood ings, are rapidly passing as the peo- pie and the railroads learn each oth- CT better. In this, as in all commend able undertakings, cooperation will win"

Jemtchug and French destroyer Then she escaped unscathed.
 Shipping men have estimated the loss caused by the Emden at from s4,OO0,00 to s21, 1,000,0O0.
 The Admiralty statement reads as follows:
 After the whereabouts of the Koenigsberg had been indicated by the attack on the Pegasus, September 19, concentration of fast cruisers was arranged by the Admiralty in East African waters and thorough and prolonged search by these vessels in combination was made.
 This search resulted, October 30, in the Koenigsberg being discovered by H. M. s. Chatham, hiding in shoal water about six miles up the Rufiki river, opposite Mafia Island, German East Africa. Owing to greater draught. the Chatham could not reach the Koenigsberg, which probably is aground, except at high water. Part of the crew of the Koenigsberg has been landed and is entrenched on the banks of the river.
 Both these entrenchments and the Koenigsberg herself have been bom- barded by the Chatham, but owing to the dense palm groves, amid which the ship lies, it is not possible to esti mate the damage done. Pending ope- rations for her capture or destruction, colliers have been sunk in the only navigable channel to the river, and she is now imprisoned and unable to sells which have been searching for her are thus released for other ser vice.

 London.--The Germans have re- sumed their attack on the allied line between the coast and the Lys river and while the French claim generally mans have succeeded in capturing the town of DiXmude, which has been the center of some of the fiercest and mos. bloody fighting of the war.
 The country between Dixmude and Ypres, where the belligerents have been engaged in violent attacks and counter attacks for weeks. and where the losses have been heavier even than those in the battle of the Yser again is the scene of battle, which for fury has seldom, if ever, been equaled.
 to Dunkirk, one of the French ports on which the Germans have set their hearts, and if they break through here the allies will be compelled to fall back to new positions. The invaders have concentrated their forces at this point and their success in taking Dix nude, where they claim to have cap tured 500 prisoners. and positions to the west of Langemarck, where, ac. cording to the Berlin report, 1000 pris- OHers fell into their hands, shows that the statements that they have been sending troops from the west to Pc- land, are untrue.
 The British navy last Tuesday won two successes--the destruction of the German cruiser Emden in the eastern waters of the Indian ocean and the bottling up of the Koenigs- berg in the western extremity of the same sea. The skill of these two raid CTS in evading the net, thrown out for them has been a matter of chagrin to British naval men.
 After a sharp action of Cocos Is- land with the Australian cruiser Syd- ney, the Emden, with heavy casual ties, was beached, ablaze. The Koe- nigsberg was bottled up in such a po- sition that she must either be cap- tured or surrender, though she proba- ply will be nothing but useless hulk
 The cruiser Chatham. which ran down the Koenigsberg in the river opposite the island of Mafa, German East Africa, is sister ship of the Sydney, which closed the career of the Emden.
 Except for Admiral von Specs sQ6hdron in the Pacific, all oceans arc now believed to be free of Ger. man cruisers.
 The British Admiralty already has informed the court that adequate measures have been taken to deal with the victors of the recent battle off the Chilean coast.
 The Sydney sighted the Emden Monday morning With superior speed she at once closed in and gave battle. The German boat could not escape. There was running fight. at the end of which the Emden, burning from the shells of the Australian boat, was beached.
 The casualties on the Sydney are said to have been slight.
 The Emden has sunk 22 ships, most. ly British and has captured one. Most of the time since last August she preyed on British shipping in the Tn. dian ocean but late last month she suddenly appeared at Penang on Ma lacca straits. A fourth smokestack was rigged on her deck and Japan ese flag run up. Thus disguised she steamed unchallenged under the Brit teh guns of tke fort and fired torpe does which sank the Russian cruiser

WHEN AND HOW THE
 BODY POlSONS ITSELF

The underlying cause of much head ache, particularly migraine, or sick head ache, bilious attacks, vertigo, or dizziness, is intestinal auto-intoxication. Thispro- cess, recognized only in recent years, is the absorption into the blood of poisons produced in the intestines from the resi- due of food.
 The two most prominent factors in causing this condition are constipation and excessive meat eating. It can there fore be largely avoided by care in the diet and the use of laxative which will clear away the fermenting residue of food which is generating the poisons.
 Pinklets, the new laxative, are admir- ably suited to protect the body against the dangers of auto-intoxication for they gently assist nature and do not gripe or purge. Harsh purgatives leave the system in a worse condition than they find it but Pinklets give just the stimula- ton to the organs of excretion that is needed to produce natural action and if they are used regularly for a time they will really correct constipation.
 --Yeufdfuggiet sells Pinklets or they will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 25 cents per bottle, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Send today for booklet and free sample.

They Neglect Their Bowels and the
 Poisons vitiate the Blood.
 Hot weather has q very weakening effect on women. They are too lan- guid to exercise and as a result have appetite only for foods that seem light and tasty such as salads and other cold connections. But these fre- quently produce indigestion, and with it comes constipation.
 It is especially in hot weather that women should keep up the highest standard of health, for it is necessary to have strength to resist the heat. The first essentials are good diges- tion and regular bowel movement and then good red blood and steady nerves will follow. The best way to obtain these is not by an over-indulgence In fruits, which often are not ripe, or over-ripe, and hence are dangerous, but in the use of gentle and pleas aDt-tasting bowel stimulant like pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Use it to- night and your constipation, indiges- ton and sick headaches will vanish by morning

Problem of Raising Money to Offset Losses in Customs Revenues
 Discussed at White House.

Discussed at White House.
 Washington, Aug. 18.-Considera- tion of the problem of raising money to offset losses in customs revenues due to the outbreak of the Euroean war continued yesterday at the White House. The president saw Senator Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committee, and Representa- tive Underwood, chairman of the house ways and means committee and discussed the question.
 Earlier the president told callers that the possibility of issuing Panama canal bonds to meet the expected de- ficiency had not been seriously con- sidered by the administration as yet.
 The president. Senator Simmons and Representative Underwood agreed that special tax probably would be necessary but no time for beginning was settled on. When treasury off, cials conclude that additional funds are necessary the president will send special message to congress asking that a tax be levied.
 Representative Underwood said the prospects of manufacturing industries of the nations involved in the war will be crippled for several years, making an early return to normal in import duties improbable even in the

Congress keg|tcts to Appropriate,
 Causing Suspension of Work.
Especial to the Herald.)

Especial to the Herald.)
 Washington, Aug. 1S.-According to army engineers having river and harbor work in charge. work on 136 projects has either been suspended al- ready or will be suspended by Sep- texnber Is, because of the failure of congress to make the needed appro- priations.
 In a memorandum submitted to Chairman sparkman of the River and Harbor committee of the house, the chief of engineers in calling atten- ton of congress to the pressing neces- sity of appropriations to carry on river and harbor work, said: Every effort has been made to keep the esti- mates down to the amounts actually needed to permit of economical pros- ecutton of the works adopted by con- gress and, by reason of the regular passage in the past four years of river and harbor acts, confidence that this policy would be continued has been gradually acquired; and not only the engineer department, but contractors engaged in furnishing ma terta1s or doing work under the de- partnent have acquired the same confidence and have made their plans accordingly. The suspension of work results not only in positive loss of time and possible interference with navigation, but seriously 1andi- caps and greatly adds to the cost of future work by. the disorganization of working forces, and the effect which 1t has upon the confidence of con- tractors supplying materials
 In speaking. of the matter mem Der of the committee said 'The War of Nations is not only closing down the factories in the United States by shutting off the importa- ton of materials from Europe, but it Is also causing the dismissal of hun dreds of railway employees. Freight and passenger traffic on all railroads running out of Jersey City shows such an enormous falling off that the rail- roads are compelled to make whole sale discharges in their operating forces. 1t makes bad matter worse to have thousands and thousands of dol lars worth of property hung up and thousands of men thrown out of work because of the failure of congress toI pass the river and harbor bill.''
