WOMEN OF PARIS
ARE PREP airing TO
LEND THEIR AID
Care of the Wounded Will
Be Work Undertaken by
American Women at the
French Capital.
BY Warrington Dawson.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris. Aug. S.-Until far into the
night American women, many of them
wealthy society leaders, were working
in the interest of France. Preparing
bandages and other hospital supplies,
Mrs. Herrick, wife OF the American
ambassador and other American wom-
en- still in Paris diligently labored at
the embassy that France might be
prepared to care for the wounded who
will soon be brought back from the
frontier or must be cared for in the
field hospital. The American women
are to meet daily at the embassy with
Mrs. Herrick and give their time to-
ward aiding the women of France in
the task which is now ahead of them
American men having volunteered to
form a regiment to fight in the French
army and in recognition of the work
of the women, the government today
Issued an official note expressing the
gratitude of the French people
France is grateful for the sympa
thetic attitude of her great sister re-
public" the note declared.
From the moments Of most violent
political passion and sentiment incl
dent to the Caillaux trial to the pres
ent state of absolute unison OF all
parties is the step Paris has taken in
the short space of two weeks. Where
royalists shouted their denunciations
of the government they now meet on
common ground with Socialists and
discuss only the defense of France. On
the boulevards where crowds swarmed
it seems but a few nights ago
shouting down with Caillaux," horses
are now picketed. Cavalry officers
clank through the streets, silent save
for their movements.

SUDDEN CHANGES
IN THE SITUATION
ARE ANNOUNCED
BY Ed L. Keen.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, August Sunday Sud
den changes in the war situation were
announced late last night. Paris
claimed that it had learned of the
taking of Muelhausen by the French
invaders OF Alsace- Lorraine. Stimuli
taneously, the German cables, which
had been silent all day, brought word
to Amsterdam that the Germans had
captured Liege.
1t was impossible to communicate
with Brussels and the German report
had to be accepted for what it was
worth. The telegraph between Brus-
sells and Liege ceased about midnight.
Shortly before the Germans had made
a night attack. But whether it sue
ceeded, as Berlin says, or whether the
Germans simply cut the communica-
tions is not known here. However the
fact that King Albert was personally
at the front caused some apprehension.
If the city was taken it did not mean
that the king was a prisoner as ar
rangements to abandon Liege and fall
back on Namar had already been made.
So far as'Muelhausen was concerned,
the only word received was that of
the French foreign office. It's declara-
ton was that the French had entered
Muelhausen. If so, 1t was wonderful
victory as the city is strongly forth
fed. 1t is the key to south Germany
and in possession Of an enemy would
give that enemy strategic advantage
in the coming fighting.
1.-THE French have Muelhausen the
loss of Liege is little compensation to
Germany, in the opinion of British mil
itary experts.

NO RESERVISTS ON

port was current here today that the
Olympic was to sail for Halifax and
there be fitted out as transport for
the conveyance of Canadian troops to
Europe.

GERMANS ASK PRESS
FOR JUST TREATMENT

New York, Aug. s.-The United
German Alliance, in resolutions made
public today, calls upon the press of
the country to accord impartial and
just treatment to all sides" in the Eu

styled as the attitude of certain por

press to spread impressions which lead
to hatred of Germany and Germans"
The resolution absolves Emperor
William from responsibility for the
war, and attributes it to Frances de-
sire for revenge for the loss of Alsace-

TRADE OPPORTUNITIES.

This country is not alone in its recognition of the trade opportunities which exist in South America, but the step which has been taken by the Bra gillian Steamship Go. shows that its development Is possible from both ends. This company has been en-
 gagged in South American coasting trade with seven steamships but they have not been slow to recognize the possibilities which exist in trade with this country, with the result that they have announced that their vessels will until further notice be operated between Brazilian ports and New York.
 This trade was bound to develop through the advantages of the canal, but it is given new impetus by the conditions in Europe and a realization upon the part of South American countries that they must look to us for a larger portion of the S960, 900 DOG worth Of goods which they import every year, only about a fifth of which is now secured here. This means that there must be greater transportation facilities and the move. of the Bra gillian company is for the purpose oi meeting that need as far as 1t can 7t is a greater response than has beer made in this country even though, be- fore the European war, it was the ain of business to enter the South Amer ican field more extensively, but it i: also an example in shipping develop. ment which this country cannot af. ford to overlook.

SHIP REnIsTRY elLL.

It was wise discrimination which the senate used in defeating the amendment to the ship registry bill which provided for the invasion of the coastwise traffic by foreign built ships. The change in the registry restrictions brought about by the de- moralization of the foreign shipping following the opening of the. war among the larger nations or Europe, necessitated no alterations to the pro- lection which is now given to the coasting commerce. There was no emergency surrounding this matter of coasting trade and there was no cause for emergency legislation for the purpose of opening up this business to foreign vessels. It was the for eign owned vessels engaged in for eign trade which were put out of commission by the war thereby put ting a damper upon handling of ex- ports and seriously affecting our trade even with neutral countries. because of the g1aring absence of a sufficient merchant marine of our own to meet the situation.
 The relief needed has been secured through the measure which has been passed. and the privilege which has been conferred upon the president cannot be exercised too soon to over- come the stagnation in the commercial field, but it will be unquestionably used with discretion and full considara- tion of the obligations of neutrality To have admitted foreign vessels tc the privileges of the coastwise traf- fic would have been a. discouragemeni to what little there Is of American shipping.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS

When a human being commits a crime we assume, as a matter of course, that the right thing to do is 10 punish him-that is, he must be hurt In some way. any way, all ways.
 Under this theory prisoners are sent 10 confinement, put under keepers who are usually of a low grade of intel lisence, and all that is good in them Is crushed out by thousand arts of inhumanity.
 For crushing never crushes out the evil but only the good. The more you crush human being the more beast like he becomes. His hate is deep- ened, his despair is made more des- perate. his will to retaHate upon so-

 Every device is employed to re- press the prisoners, none to develop them- They may not talk: and al length silence becomes vocal with the horrors of the sealed up mind Their food is cheap and nauseous. Their enforced labor is made as uninterest. ing as possible. Once in two months are the women prisoners allowed to sec not touch them. The wife cannot kiss her husband. The mother cannot earess her child, nor the daughter her mother.
 The whole programme is to break break, break the spirit. And this, not. WlthStanding the fact that everybody knows that it hardens, sets and deep, ems criminality in the soul and turnl | the convict out with heITs hate il her heart.
