.O.P.PLATF0RMRAPS
 TARIFF LEGISLATION
New York Republicans Also Dc
 n(uNCe income Tax Law.

Saratoga, N. Y., Aug 19.-The rec publican state convention continued its session here today. The permanent chairman, William Nottingham, ad- dressed the delegates and at the con- clusion of his speech the resolutions committee reported.
 The platform as adopted declared for true progress, to be won by per sisting in the hard, slow course of popular government and self-restraint and not by abandoning the perform- hnce of duty and seeking the ends or government through the easy experi- ntcnts without effort and without sac- rifice." If asserts that the legisla- tive policy of the democratic national administration has been deliberately sectional as we'll as hostile to the great irdustrial communities of the country and particularly to the state of New York" and that tits tariff legislation has been framed in utter disregard Of reasonable and fair protection to American labor and American indus tries"
 Fails of FuIfilImcnt.
 "rhe pledge of the democratic par ty to recuce the high cost of living the platform declares, has lament- ably failed of fulfillment." The new banking and currency platform con- tends, places in the hands of the na- tional government an unprecedented power over the financial operations of the country opening facilities for tn- fation of currency which might lead to disaster.
 The income tax law likewise is de- nounced as a sectional measure. tend- ing to extract millions of dollars from few prosperous states in excess of their just share.
 Raps Democratic Regime.
 "The democratic administration" reads the platform, lis now engaged in an effort to force through congress legislation giving to the federal gov- eminent a vast undefined and inquis- itorial power over all the business ace tivities of the country, destruction of the fundamental principles of frees dom of labor and opportunity and that protection of property to secure which governments are established"
 In state affairs the democratic ad- ministration is accused of incapacity and extravagance, the new election law in particular being attacked. sa

KITCHENER ADVISES
 BRITISH SOLDIERS
Warns Them to Avoid Wine and
 Woman During War.

London, Aug. IS, 5:25 P. M.-Now that the ban of secrecy has been removed from British troop move ments and the official press bureau has admitted the arrival of British troops in France, great enthusiasm is exhibited everywhere in London over the safe arrival of the soldiers on the continent and over the reports showing they were heartily received by the French.
 Loud praise Is heard for the order ly mobilization of the army without publicity and for the silence of the British newspapers concerning troop movements in England and Ireland
 Greet English Soldiers. '.'. Americans returning to England from the continent say the French soldiers greeted their English com rades with: "Hurrah' for the Eng fish. Hurrah for King George!"' And the English soldiers replied with "Hurrah for France!' The troops of the allies fraternized immediately, and tourists say there was every indication that all orders were carried out with expedition and perfection of detail as a result of the complete harmony between the French and British general staffs.
 At the points of debarkation signs had even been posted saying: Teams to the right in France as a. guide to the English teamsters and artillery men.
 Field Nlarsllals Advice.
 Field Marshal Earl Kitcheners sol- dierly homily to the men of the Brit ish expeditionary force. which he di- rected that every soldier should keep in his active service paybook, was textually as follows:
 "You are ordered abroad as a sol- dier of the king, to help our French comrades against the invasion of a common enemy.
 You have to perform a task which will need your courage, your energy and your patience.
 Remember that the honor of the British army depends on your in- dividual conduct.
 Urges Friendly Relations.
 "It will be your duty not only to set an example of discipline and per feet steadiness under fire, but also to maintain the most friendly relations with those whom you are helping in lIlS SlIuS5lc.
 The operations in which you will be engaged will for the most part take place in friendly country, and you can do your own country no better service than in showing yourself in France and Belgium in the true char acter of British soldier by being invariably courteous, considerate and kind.
 Never do anything likely to injure or destroy property and always look upon rioting as disgraceful act.
 "You are sure to meet with d wei come and to be taunted. Your con- duct must Justify that welcome and that trust.
 Health Must Be Good.
 Your duty cannot be done unless your health is sound, so keep con- stantly on your guard against any ex- cesses.
 "In this new experience you may find temptation both in wine and women. You must entirely resist both temptations, and while treating all women with perfect courtesy you should avoid any intimacy.
 Do your duty bravely. Fear God and honor the king.
 (Signed) "KITCHENER,
 Field Marshal"
