FRANCE DEF|ES FOES
FROM BORDEAUX
President and Cabinet Take Up
Task of Prosecuting War at
New Capital.

BORDEAUX, France, Sept. 4.-Presi-
dent Poincare and his cabinet met in
the temporary capital today for the
first time. and considered reports of
conditions at the front 1t was an
nounced that conditions were eminently
satisfactory The German invasion
continues. II is stated. but there Is eN-
treme confidence everywhere in official
circles that it will soon be halted. The
allied army is being very heavily re-
on the lines of defense previously Sc
will be the-keynote
Minister OF War Millerand declared
emphatically that the Germans will
never be able to take Paris. He was in
touch with General Galleni in Paris
today. and the latter reported that the
plans for the defense are perfect. The
various departments of the government
are all working smoothly. and the work
in the temporary capital was resumed
exactly where it was left off when Paris
was abandoned
The government today issued a procla-
nation transferring the Bank of
France from Paris to Bordeaux. The
effect of this is to provide Immediately
for all of the financial needs of the gov
eminent.
The city is already filled to overflow
ing with refugees from Paris and the
north country. So many have come
here that it has been found necessary
to open all the public buildings to pro-
vide sleeping quarters for the refugees.
Reports received from General JOffre
at Field Army Headquarters state that
the French lines are holding fast In the
and that the offensive opera
tions in Lorraine are continued, with

URGES REVISION OF
NAVIGATION LAW
Chamber of Commerce officer
Criticises Merchant Marine
Bill.

D. A. Skinner. assistant secretary of
the National Chamber Of Commerce,
who keeps his finger on the CONNER
cial pulse of the country for the benefit
Of the members of the chamber, declares
that the present merchant marine bill,
now before Congress. will rot adequate
" meet the needs of the situation.
While It Is true" he said today. that
England, France, and Russia have OBJ
Jected to the purchase by the United
states Of vessels to be used for a ner-
chant marine, and that phase of the
subject requires considerable tact and
thought on the part of the Administra-
ton. of immeasurably greater impor-
tance is the need for a revision Of the
navigation laws of the United States
Present navigation laws discourage
building up of a merchant marine. IN
the opinion Of the Secretary of the
Chamber OF Commerce The British
government requires that a merchant
man need have only one engineer while
the United States requires two, adding
another high-priced man to the payroll
Other regulations of this nature burden
the trader with heavy expenses and
minimize the profits.
The National Chamber Of Commerce
plans to inform the commercial inter-
ests in every part of the United States
of action on the bill in Congress and
request that the commercial interests
Of the country express their views upon
the measure.

very hard fighting. too.

This German attack II certainly ex-
traordinary. You can throw them down
and NOW them down, but still they
como on. and directly the gaps are
made in their ranks fresh men fill them
up. There seems to be an inexhausti-
bic supply Of fresh troops. II is impos-
sible to oppose successfully such a mass
of men.
Huge masses of obedient men are
flung by the German commanders. re-
gardless Of the loss of life, in a fierce
and desperate effort to burst through
to Paris quickly. and though such enor-
nous masses must necessar rily force
back all opposition. the allies meet
them resolutely and calmly and with
intelligence and military science.
When the history OF this war is writ
ten It will be seen that. wonderful as
the German advance has been. the re-
tirement OF the allied forces has been
equally magnificent. It is hardly posi-
BILE to understand why such reckless
masses of men and guns should not

VICTIMS OF NEGLECT.
If You Ignore the Warnings
Sent up by AiIlng Kidneys
You are on the Straight Road
to Brlght's Disease,

When anything Is wrong in the kid
news the symptoms are manifest from
the top Of your head to the sole OF your
feet.
The following are some Of them:
Headache. dizzy spells, sluggish braiH,
drowsiness. dark rings and floating
specks before the eyes, sallow skin, bad
breath, heartburn, palpitation OF the
heart, sour stomach, disorder in the
urine, backaehe, weak pulse, constipated
or irregular bowels, aching at the knees,
feverishness In the feet.
Prickly Ash Bitters Is the right medi.
cine for such symptoms; pre-eminentiy
kidney tonic, system cleanser and reg
ulaior. II contains all the necessary
properties Of successful kidney medi-
cine in addition TO is admirable inhu.
enee in strengthening and regulating
the stomach, liver and bowels.
Priekly Ash Bitiers begins right by
cleansing the bladder and bowels -
thereby driving out the impurities which
started all the trouble. After this has
been accomplished the healing and re-
s,ora,ive element in the medicine will
continue the good work, building up
anew the weakened kidneys, stimulating
the liver to greater activity, purifying
the blood, and extending its restorative
influence to every part Of the body. As
a result the appetite and digestion inn
prove, the eyes are brighter, the strength
returns, the hollow cheeks I'LL out, the
complexion loses that sallow muddy
cast, giving place to a clear skin and the
uddy glow OF health.
sMueh depends on the promptness with
which the treatment is commenced.
Prickly Ash Bitters has cured many adj
vanced cases that would not yield to
other remedies, but il must be remem-
bered that there is a stage in kidney dis
ease beyond which no power on earth
can save the patient. Take warningl
If you suspect anything wrong with your
kidneys, begin treatment at once. 1t is
your best hope Of a cure.
