A letter from j. p. Conner, written
at Lcndon, Eng, August 9Th, was re-

Saturday, but it is not know whether
or not the boat sailed. Below we pub

which may be Of interest to the read
ers CT the Review:
Hotel Cecil, Strand, London.
August 9th.
Dear Raymond: It looks as if We
might be in London indefinitely. for
no one knows what is going to hap
pen. You understand our boat for
return passage is the Lapland, Bel
gian boat, owned by the Red Star line,
and as long as Belgium and Germany
are at war the chances are that the
boat will not sail, although the Red
Star people claim it will leave for
New York on time. 1t is now said the
Cunaru line beats English ships
will make their regular trips. notwith-
standing hosti!lties between England
and Germany. There is enough uncer-
tainty about it to cause me to wonder
just when will get away from here.
About all | can do is to buy and
read the extra newspapers, which
come out every few minutes. ! am
about persuaded that none of the pow
ers in the war are ready for it and II
they had delayed long enough to get
ready it might have been averted. 1t
the fighting is to take place ! hope
they will get busy and end it as soon
as possible. butI hope it is not to be
at all
The talk for many years that there
is a way to settle International trou'
Bile in some other way than war is
nothing but talk. The. savagery and
barbarism Of the past is showing it
self again. The time may come when
wars will cease. but 1t will be when
time is no more; and eternity has be-
gun. Hulnan-na ti,Ee is maGh, the same
as of medieval times and as long as
the earth is peopled with men there
will be wars.
Mother has the headache today for
the first time since leaving home.
There is much to see here if one
has the heart TO become Interested
but the international events overshad-
ow everything else
Mrs. Chamberln and Ethel called
to day. They are to sail day after to-
morrow and hope their boat will not
fail them. If they go they will soon
be where peace and quiet reign ac-
cidentally run onto them on Monday

hood Of Trafalgar square when they
were out with about 100000 other
people waiting for news.

yet do not allow much time to be
given to it for know am and will
be helpless if do not get boat for
home. We have put in all our time
in London and Paris and environs.
We had trip planned from Paris to
Switzerland. but left for London on
The day we had planned to start for
Switzerland, as the safety of travel
had become jcopardiZed so that no as
surancc of getting there and away
again could be given. There will be
much to tell when we get home.

tial issues had not arisen. I began

-four offered in the market Of this
state should be plainly stamped on
each sack 'Bleached,' but making no
requirement as to the process used.
When the decision was rendered the
manufacturers assumed that the de-
cision gave them a free rein, and pro-
tests against state requirements were
loud and long. Shipments In disre-

Many of the processes bleach with
