4 FINE COMPLEXION

A girls complexion is something more than 8 matter to concern her vanity. It is an indication of the state of her health. Pallor in 8 growing girl means a thin ming of the blood. Eruptions mean im- purities in the blood. Parents should be watchful of their daughters complexions, and should see to it that these danger signs are corrected, not covered up.
 When girl in her teens becomes pale and sallow, especially if, at the same time, she shows an inclination to tire easily, a listlessness and inattention to her work or studies, she needs pr. Will liams' Pink Pills, tonic which directly and specifically corrects the condition from which she is suffering. A chemical analysis of the blood of such girl would show it to be deficient in just the ele- ments that Dr. Williams Pink Pills can supply but the physical signs are plain. Every girl should read the chapter on "Chlorosis'' in the free booklet, "Build- ing Up the Blood" It tells just what to do and gives directions regarding diet, exercise and rest.
 The girl with muddy complexion should have the booklet "A Dainty Lax ative," which tells about Pinklets.
 These books will be sentfree on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist can supply Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

PLANNING CRUISES
 FOR NAVAL MILITIA
Lonergan Urges That Connecticut
 Men Be Placed on Biz Shp5.

Washington, D. C.. June 1.-Plans are to be announced by the Navy De- part1nent in about a week it is eX- pected for cruises of the naval mili- tia of the various states, including that of Connecticut, upon some of the big vessels of the American navy. Many of the vessels allotted to the naval battalions around the country have been pressed into service, either active or reserve, in connection with naval operations in Mexican waters. To keep up the efficiency of the naval militia, it is therefore projected that it's members will be put aboard some of the big battleships or cruisers not in actual use along the Mexican coast, for cruises of about a week.
 Congressman Lonergan has had conference with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, to learn of the plans for the Connecti- cut naval militia. Learning that the plans are not completed, he urged especially that the second division, Naval Battalion, of Hartford, be in- cluded in the list of the organizations to put aboard big vessels of the navy.
 Mclean FavCrs Conventions
 Senator Mclean was one of the ac- tive supporters of resolutions, recently adopted by the senate, providing for the participation of the United States in international conventions to. be held during the coming summer and fall. And if the house approves Of the resolutions, it is not unlikely that Connecticut men will be appointed by the president as delegates to the conventions.
 One provides for the sending of an American delegation to the sixth In- ternational Dental congress to be held in London August 3-8 next. Dr. J. McManus of Hartford, was pro- ponent of this legislation and is likely to be appointed one of the delegates.
 Mentioned as Delegate.
 The other provides for representa- tion at the International Conference on Neurology, Psychiapry and Psy- chology, to be held at Berne, Swift zerland, September 7-12. Dr. Thomas w. Salmon, former resident of Connecticut and now with the Public Health Service, is mentioned as a delegate.

VANITIE BACK IN WATER.

Alexander Smith Cochran's cup sloop Vanitie, which was hauled out on Jacobs marine railway at City Island on Saturday, was put over board again at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and lowed to her moorings off the shipyard pier. A gang of forty men had cleaned and polished the shapely bronze hull both above and below the water line. MT. Cochran William Gardner, the designer, and Capt. William Dennis inspected the yacht before she was lowered into the water. It is the intention of Capt Dennis to give the Vanitie a final trial spin today

the highest by the minister for the stand he has taEen on the Mexican situation. He said that he agreed with the president that nations es- tablished in honor should not give their recognition to one who gains their authority through dishonorable means and in this he referred to Huerta. Said Rev. MT. Maier: President Wilson has used all his powers to avoid war with Mexico and that is something unheard of amongst nations before" Speaking along the lines of the Mexican situation the speaker said that had the A. B. c. powers made their peace proposals twenty years ago it would have been taken as an equivalent to war.

FIRST TRIAL CONTEST
 FOR CUP DEFENDERS
Rcso.ute and Vanitie to Race Tc-
 morrow on Long Island Sound.

New York, June 1.-Two of the three cup class yachts, the Resolute and Vanitie, were ready today for the first trial contest tomorrow in the long series of races which will terminate in August in the selection of a defend CT of the America's cup. The third yacht. the Defiance, will not be pre- pared to meet her rivals until the last of the week, prhaps not until June 12, ewing to radical alterations which are being made in her to hamper.
 The first race tomorrow will be in the upper Long Island Sound, with a start off Great Captains Island. The thiry mile course probably will give the yachts a chance to show their abil- ities in all points of sailing.
 Much Regret Felt.
 There was much regret in yachting circles today over the inability of the Defiance to show her form in the first race. The tri-city boat was the second oI the American trio to be launched, but when tried out off Greenwich last week for the first time under sail it was found that she was unexpectedly tender, heeling far down in moderate winds.
 Reports from the rival camps also showed that the Defiance would have tC allow the Resolute some minutes over a thirty mile course, although sailing on practically even terms with the Venitei. The managers of the boat, therefore, decided to reduce her sail plan by cutting five feet off her mast.
 It is hoped to finish the work in time for the fourth scheduled contest eff Larchmont on Saturday.
 Resolute Better Prepared.
 The ResoIute launched at Bristol on April 25, is far better prepared than the Vanitie, which went overheard at Neponset on May IA. The Bristol boat, which has been built by syndi- cate of six present and past commo- dores of the New York Yacht club and called the flag officers yacht, has had nearly a month of thorough try-outs in Narragansett Bay. Yet in her case, the first sailings proved unsatisfactory and material alterations have been made in her rig She has been under her present canvas about ten days and is in fairly good shape, although each days sailing will probably develop slight defects.
 William Gardner, designer of the Vanitie, which is owned by A. S. Coch- rane, of Yonkers. said today that so far he was entirely satisfied with the yacht and saw no reason for altera- tions. With the rig of the Defiance cut down, the Vanitie will be obliged to allow both her rivals considerab ble time. In the race tomorrow the Coch- rane boat will have to finish more than three minutes and a half ahead of the flag officers yacht in order to win.
 Will Be Material Factor.
 In fact, time allowance both in the races for the three American yachts and in the cup races with the Sham rock " will be a material factor in deciding the winner
 Fair weather with moderate wester- ly winds was the prediction for to- morrow's contest.

PRAISES PRESIDENT
 FOR AVOIDING WAR
Rev. H. W. Maier Breaches E|e'
 Qucnt Peace Sermon.

An eloquent sermon on Peace was delivered by the Rev. H. w Maier at the First Congregational church yes terday morning. This clergyman has but recently returned from attending the peace conference at Lake Mo honk, N. Y, and in his address he told of some of the impressions he had gleaned from this conference. He also took occasion to laud President Wilson for avoiding war with Mex ico.
 One of the biggest things he noted at this conference was, he said, the absolute absence of any spirit of crit icisrn, the dominant note of the en- tire conference being to further the ends of international peace and the principles of arbitration. Rev. MT. Maier said that all felt that much had been done towards reaching the goal towards which the peace advocates are striving.
 a War Now Summed.
 Continuing he explained that the civilized world has now advanced to that point where war is summed and looked upon as thing to be avoided
 
 sidered an honorable way to settle national differences but he added, the next step is how to avoid it. En- larging upon the theme of war the pastor told of the horrors and suf- fering brought on by martial strife and in this connection told of the findings of the Carnegie Foundation which had investigated the Bulgarian atrocities.
 Enormous Cost of War.
 AS another argument against war the clergyman spoke of the enormous cost. He said that today people who had nothing to do with the Civil war are having to bear some of the great expense, yet he had no wish to utter single word of complaint against the brave men who fought and of fered their lives in that great strife, but he only wanted to bring out the tremendous cost of war. Praises F1ihu Burritt. Sketching the advance of peace through the past years Pastor Maier gave much praise to Elihu Burritt New Britain's learned blacksmith and one or the first opponents of univer- sal peace He told of the formation or The Hague peace tribunal four teen years ago md remarked with pride that the United States was tho l first nation to appeal to this court Now, he said, it has all the business It can handle He declared that the general trend of the times is towards peace and quoted the en- peror Of Germany as hoping that no war will mar his reign. He also said that Theodore Roosevelt, often ac- cused of militia rism, wants more bat tie ships merely as another way of in ducing peace.
 Honors President Wilson. President Wilson was extolled tn

men and it must play a leading role in the prevention of war in the fu- ture.
 Regarding the Japanese war scarcs Rev. MT. Maier said that if the s3O,- 000,000 appropriated towards two new battleships to protect the States tn case of war with the Japs had been given to Japan to assist them in their recent famine all talk of war would have ceased

Would BOTTLE Up
SERv|AN FORCES
Austrian Troops, Immensely
Superior, Plan to Anniti-:
late Adversary's Troops

Washington, Aug. se-An intimate
view Of the theater Of the Austro-
Servian war, with the detailed
strength of the Austrian and Servian
armies, Is given by a.French military
expert in an article entitled Strength
and Campaign Plans Of Austria and
servia," and now on file in the
staff. -
After estimating servia's lighting
strength al about 100000 men, and
Austria's at nearly 1000, 600, the ar
ticle says:
"Austria-Hungary possesses an i'm
mense superiority, numerically, and
its military preparations are very
its adversary. Its means Of offense-
bridges, trains, Danube feet, transpor-
tation facilities-are infinitely better.
and she halfway encircles servia.
Beyond doubt the Austro-Hungar-
ian plan would be to- annihilate the
little Servian army by surrounding 1t
with a sudden and energetic frontal
attack.
1.-THE impossibility Of the Servians
assuming the offensive in the only
practical direction, to the north Of the
Save-Danube line, combined with the
enveloping configuration of the from
tier, especially facilitates the execu-
ton or this plan, on the part OF the
Austrians. This permits them to con-
centrate under whatever. conditions
they please.
ut is scarcely admissible to count
on the bulk of the Austrian troops
bein concentrated at Bosnia.
This results from the situation of
this province relative to the center of
gravity Of the dual monarchy, from
its lack. Of lines of communication,
f~~-> ---
the natural strength of this side of
the Servian, frontier, and finally, on
account of the distance Of this from
tier from the heart Of Servia, which
is the valley Of the Morava-
"Servia is identified with the basin
Of the Morava river. On three sides,
the west, south and east, this basin ID
encircled by a range of steep noun
tains, and confines the two water
courses in wild gorges."

New York, Aug. 3.-As a result Of
the announcement by the executive
committee of the National Currency
association of the city of New York,
that all arrangements had been made
for the banks Of this city to take adj
vantage of the Northumberland act,

Just such periods Of financial stress
as the present, applications were con-
sldered today by the committee for a
substantial amount of the national
bank notes which may be issued UNI
der the provisions of the act.
woodward Goes to Washington.
William Woodward, president Of
the Hanover National bank, who is
chairman of the executive committee
OF the association, was not present,
owing to the fact hat he had gone
to Washington to confer with Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, and to
explain to members of congress the
purpose Of the amendments to the
currency law, which vas passed by
the senate today. This provides that
banks OF national currency ~associa-
lions may obtain emergency relief If
they have outstanding notes secured
by government bonds to an amount
not less than 40 per cent Of their cap
ital. Francis L. Hine, president of
the First National bank and also a
member of the committee, accompan-
led Mr.. Woodward.
MI. Vanderlip issued a statement in
which he said 1t was expected that a
sufficient amount Of the emergency
notes can be issued to meet any de-
mands likely to be made for circu-
lating media because Of the enor.
nous amount Of American gold that
has recently gone abroad and because
Of the capital that it is temporarily
tied up from the closing of the stock

England Must Destroy German
Fleet, Else Fast Starvation, Says
Member of American Naval Board

Washington, Aug. s.-Regarded
from the naval point Of view I consid-
er the following will be the probable
general condition:
The English fleet in the North sea
will endeavor to destroy the German
fleet. This is absolutely necessary be-
aus England requires foodstuns
from the United States and Canada,
n IN order to get them she will have
to establish complete control Of the
sea SO that commerce may pass free
ly across the Atlantic.
French to Mediterranean.
The French navy undoubtedly will
be assembled in the Mediterranean to
oppose the fleets Of Austria and Italy.
II successful, the French will be able
to prevent the transportation of'troops
across the Adriatic sea TO the Balkan
states. + 81
The policy of Germany probably
will be to hold her fleet behind forti-
f%cations until the land forces have
been successful, at the same time at
lacking the English battle fleet by
means Of torpedo vessels and sub
marines and reducing it so that Ger
mar fleet more nearly will equal it.
Then Invasion of England.
When Germany has defeated Rus
oA AoAA0p AlO4 AiShI i1lON g
will be to engage the fleet Of Eng
land. If the latter is beaten an in
vasion of England will follow. 1t
would not be necessary for Germany
to attack the colonies of England. If
the plans outlined above should be
successful, Germany's occupation of
England would cause the colonies to
fall like ripe apples into her lap. In
the first part Of the war Germany
might endeavor by mean Of. cruisers
SO to harass the commerce of Eng
land coming across the Atlantic that
the food supplies Of England would be
reduced.
Supplies Absolutely Vital.
These supplies are absolutely vital
to England because she is not self
sustaining. In order to save herself
from starvation the English fleet must
hold the German fleet closely to Ger
man waters and English dreadnought
cruisers must cruise along the Euro
pean end Of the commerce lanes.
The operations Of German battle
cruisers independently on the COM
mercial fleet Of England would be
because of the necessity Of re-
to German ports for coal. All
