MANY COMPLAINTS
ARE RECEIVED
Warning Nations all Tell Their Trou'
bIes to Uncle Sam Who
is Neutral.

United Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-As the
lone great world power strictly neu.
trail in the present war, the United
States today faced a peculiar situa.
ton and as a result of requests Of var.
ious warning nations urging alleged
cruelties, atrocities and al viola
lions in the war. Secretary of State
Bryan, according to authoritative in
formation, feels this responsibility
keenly. They are loath to act, how
ever, until formal protests are in
such shape that a general appeal to
all countries involved to adhere strict
ly to recognized a practices can be
made. Reluctance seemingly to take
sizes" by apparently Gliding any
particular power for alleged infrac-
lions. of martial etiquette, is another
factor.
Charges and counter charges OF
Germans. Bel2ians, French and Brit
ish form a conflicting state to be con-
sidered by this government. While
warning powers are accusing each
other OF violation OF military and in
ternational law such as slaughter OF
non-combatants, use by Germans OF
Zeppelin bomb throwers and planting
of floating mines, endangering neutral
shipping, only a few formal protests
have officially reached this govern
ment. These protests are to be made
to all the world powers not at war
bu officials here believe action de-
wolves largely upon the United States.
A Joint appeal-in general terms
w1tbout citing specific acts-to all the
warning nations will be ssued by this
government, 1t is believed.

Osaackiy Cured

Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, sDysentery, Cholera Infan-
tum and Cholera Morbus for SO years.
While it Is quick and positive in its.
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that 1t is harmless and does not o
stipate. It simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions Of bottles that have been
sold. never has a case been reported
where a cure was not effected when
directions were followed, even after
other remedies had failed. Every home
should have a bottle or more on hand
ready for sudden attacks. Full size

HOW TO TEST
YOUR EYES
A Simple TEST for Normal Eyesight

no.
An eye test that costs but five
cents and Is worth the price aside
from the value of the test Is a NOV

through an average program without
Your eyes aching or feeling dry and
tired and without feeling an inclina-
ton to open and close them frequent
", and II an hour later, or the next
morning, your eyes feel perfectly
smooth and easy, there is nothing
much the matter with them. II, how
ever, after such a program your Wis

tated or burn or itch or ache or feel
overworked, try this prescription:
DIPLOMA 5 Grains q tablet.
Water 2 ounces.
Dissolve the tablet in the 2 ounces
o. water and use as an eye wash
from two to four times a day. Thls
application relieves the tired feeling,
seems to lessen the stress or strain
and makes your ayes feel smooth ana
fine. 1t is a boon after an evening
at the moving pictures or after a
hard days work where you have use"
the eyes necessarily. Irritation, IN
Examination and many minor eye
troubles are greatly benefited and
sometimes wholly cured by the use or

Women and ChIIdren's Building.

The ome and children's building
is attracting a great deal Of atten.
ton. No other state has ever at.
tempted TO do for its women and chill
dren what Iowa is doing at her state
fair grounds. The modern teachings
with reference to the home and the
school, baby health, child welfare,
public health, and these vital interests
are set forth in exhibits and are the
subjects Of daily lectures. Such noted
speakers as Miss Julia Lathrop OF
Washington, D. c., head Of the child
welfare work of the government, Gov.
George W. Clarke, President Thomas
H. Mcbride Of the state university
will appear on the program. Tho
babies in the baby health contest are
morning and afternoon. A
glass room is provided for this sur
rounded by an amphitheatre from
which the spectators can witness the
j-dg.ng.
y The entertainment program Is one
OF unusual variety this year. A new
track for steeple chase racing has
been built inside the regular race
track and also a new ring for judg-
ing saddle horses and jumpers. Steeple
chase races and jumping contests will
take place In front of the grand
stand as a part of the afternoon pro-
gram. There will be some great saidla
horse contests. Iowa, Minnesota. Wis
constn and Illinois early in the sea-
son formed a saddle horse circuit and
not only offered big premiums but ad-
vertised quite literally in the horse
papers. This has resulted in bring
ing out a great bunch OF saddlers and
show horses.

panies such as the International Har-
company are making no exhibit. These
companies announced early in the
season that they would make no ex-
hibit at fairs this year and they will
not be at any Of the fairs. This gives the
other companies and especially the
Iowa companies a much better oppor-
tunity to show and not be o%vershadL
owed by any mammoth exhibit such

Germ as the International Harvester
company.

Comptroller General A ". Jones
says that as he interpre1s the ware
house ACT mat some of the insurance
of the cotton should be taken through
the sinking fund commission. 1t
looks to US that his contention is cor
rect. We spoke to the commissioner
about giving some of the insurance to
the local agent and ne replied that
he would be glad to do so but that un-
der the act and the heavy bond which
he is required to give and to make the
cotton good collateral and protect the
man who makes loans on it he had to
have report every day and that it
would be impracticable from many Of
the warehouses if the insurance was
placed through the local agent. But
the sinking fund commission for he
proportion OF the insurance it would
write would be just as safe as any of
the insurance companies. 1t is worth
looking into.

really is:

rible butchery." Those glorious, dash
ing cavalry charges beloved By the
poets, those tossing plumes and
sounding brass which lured our youth
to the colors in the old days-they are
not visible along the Marne the Aisne.
The mentor of modern war is not your
plumed beau sabreur; he is a cold,
exact man Of science VITO butchers
by the book Your modern army is
an orderly arrangement of gray-clad or
brown-clad men, equipped with the
last word in modern scientific lnstru-
ments of carnage, directed, like Sec
ton gang, by the whistle, killing or
getting killed soberly, mechanically.
Your modern battle is not a days af-
fair or a two days affair; an assembly
IN the morning, a harangue aoolt
glory or the grave, a Jew hours OF
hell, a retreat, long gathering of
force and strength for the next bat
tie. 1t is solid, continuous, deadly
slugging, day after day, week after
week, until men cease to care for the
hazard of life and death through sheer
exhaustion, until regiments fade out
through sheer hemorrhage.'
