Sought to Answer Belgian Commits
siOn's Charges by Representa-
tons Made Personally to
the President.

Washington, Sept. 18.-The Presi-
dent refused today to receive Horace
L.. Brandt, of Chicago, who desired
to present messages from several Ger
man-American organizations, replying
to charges contained in a statement
made to the President by the Belgian
Royal Commission, on alleged German
atrocities.
The President held he had already
refused to allow the natives of other
countries living in the United States
to discuss the war with him and
Brandt's messages were not of official
nature, therefore not receivable. The
Presidents letter to Brandt will call
attention to the recent appeal for neu-
trality among American people, made
by the President and point out that it
should apply equally to all living in
the United States.

The WAR SITUATION

That a lull was noticeable in the
fighting between the allies and the
Germans in France was the most i'm
portant statement issued last night
by the official bureaus Of the contend
ing nations. This announcement
came from the Paris war office, which
added that there was no change in
the general situation, except that the
allies had continued their progress
on the left wing.
The British official press bureau
likewise said the tatus of the battle,
in which it is estimated three million
men are engaged, was without par
ticular change.
Petrograd issued an official report,
saying the Russian General Rennen-
kampff Lad stopped an offensive
movement Of the Germans last Thurs
day and hat the Germans at several
points were r~etreating and taking up
new positions. AS regards the war
fare in Galicia, the statement said the
Austrians were still being pursued.
A Rome dispatch to a London news
paper gives a report hat eight Ger
man army corps nave left rance and
Belgium for the Russian frontier.
Rome reported a rumor was in cir
culation there that bombs had been
thrown in the Austrian arsenal at
Pola, and that mines which had lot
been placed by the A~ustrians, had
been found in the canal leading to the
arsenal.
The British war office issued an
other casualty list which showed that
British officers are still falling in
large numbers on the battlefield. The
names Of u officers killed and of 81
who were wounded We're given.
Another newspaper dispatch says a
German ~aeroplane dropped a bomb in
Antwerp.
Efforts are being made to procure
be1ligerent powers.
Great Britain has received no pro-
posal for peace from Germany or
Austria, according to a message re-
ceived late asst night by Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, British ambassador at
Washington, from Sir Edward Grey.
Coincident with. the receipt of this
information, it was stated at the
White House that President Wilson
virtually had abandoned the idea of
carrying further the informal peace
movement recently begun and had de-
cided to await a denite expression
regarding peace terms from some one
of the belligerents, as he felt it would
be Inconsistent with American neu-
trality to press any of the belligerents
to make overtures to the others.

"In this frightful holocaust which

"The American people has always
displayed its respect for justice, its

attachment for the laws of humanity.
Therefore, it has won a moral infiu-

KIDNAPPING VOTERS.
Once a Regular Feature of Political
Warfare In England.

Once a Regular Feature of Political
Warfare In England.
In England a genera ton or two ago
kidnaping was a regularly organized
feature of political warfare On the
ave of an election especially men of in
duence on either side would mysteri-
ously vanish to reappear later with
orange tales of fOrcible seizures, mad
aces across country in post chaises
,liven by yelling Positions, followed
~ longer or shorter terms Of gilded
Imprisonment in great mansions, where
they were Wined and dined in Sump-
tuous style and treated right royalty
in every way, only their liberty being
denied them.
Quite humble voters, too. were forci-
bly, abducted, but these did not always
fare quite so well. Thus one victim
made complaint before magistrate
hat he had been decoyed from his
house by ruse and kept shut up in a
.oal hole for three days.
Wholesale kidnapping of voters in
mtches. too. was not unknown. the
process being rendered easier by the
1lstom of candidates paying the trav-
ling expenses of their electors to- and
rom the polling places.
For instance. at a certain Newcastle
lection a whole shipload of freemen

IN by sea. were taken by the captain
who had bpon hoo viIv brihod- TO OS-
nd and there left stranded.
During the same contest, too. and

Shampoo.

A mid-eighteenth century traveller,
who is the first person known to have
made English Of the word shampoo"
wrote that "shampooing is an opera
ton not known in Europe and is pc
culiar to the Chinese, which I had once
the curiosity to go through and for
which l paid but a trife. However,
had l not seen several Chinese mer-
chants shampooed before me 1 should
have been apprehensive of danger,
even at the sight Of all the different
instruments The original ''sham-
poo," as this travellers detailed ac-
count and other illusions for long after
his time show, was very much what
we call massage" now. 1t was from
India that the word really came, and it
represents the imperative of a verb
meaning to knead.
