WAR WILL
NOT Be STARTED.
Raising Of Flag Of MOham-
med Would Mean 10000
Heads Forfeit.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

London, Eng, Dec. 10 am informed
by an intelligent and well Informed
Turk now in this city that no holy
war" has been proclaimed to the MIS-
sulman world nor is one likely to be.
Holy war" is a term much abused IN
western parlance; and holy wars are
much rarer than one would think from
reading British and American neWspa-
"The holy war can only be started

to raise the sacred flag, but wisely re-
fused to do so. This is political war
Raised but Once.
"Since before the conquest OF Con
stantinople by the Turks in 1852, the
sacred flag has never been raised OuI
once. This was when the sultan Man
mould Ali, grandfather of the present
ruler. resolved to be rid Of his vicious
janizaries, or household guards. he
sent messages to this body, declaring
that the sacred flag had Deen unIuI teu

latiOn dealing with the matter of en-
listment and reserve. A practically
similar provision should exist in every
state which maintains an organized
militia.
Il am convinced with equal firmness
that we should adopt some one or more
of the methods which have been sug-
gested for the training of more civil
ians to become officers in case Of ne
cessity. The potentiality of the stu
dent military camps and of the schools
and colleges at which military train

source Of accomplishing this purpose.

"I think that those who are charged
with responsibility on behalf of the
public should realize the greatness Of
that responsibility; should realize the
unanswerable Indictment that will lie
against them if they shrink from in
curing expense for what is vital to
the nation. When one has reached the
conclusion, as have, that a minimum
of military preparedness is essential,
the question Of its cost is secondary
and cannot be permitted to be the de-
termining factor. No citizen will or
can properly object to the expenditure
of money for vital national purposes"

HURT
JAPANESE PRIDE
Feeling Against British and
Americans Stirred Up
by Jap Papers.
RY FRANKLIN P. sIERRICK.

Toxic, Japan, Dec. 1O.=Japanese feel
ing toward the British is not altogeth-
er kindly these days, despite the alli-
ance The adverse criticisms of the
British in the vernacular press are
almost as numerous as the reflections,
usually unjust, on the United States,
the orientals insisting on making the
latter out to be actively pro-German-
The grievance against the British is
a matter Of pride. This same pride may
force the empire to send troops to
Europe. for Japan is now rapidly en-
engaged in a world war and yet finds
her army and navy idle.
Pride is Hurt.
The Japanese pride is hurt because
Of the subordinate position the nation
has taken in the war, for which they
hold their allies, the British, respons-
ible.
The Osaka Mainichi, for instance,
hauls the English over the Goals for
limiting the operations of the Japanese
fleets in the Pacific. If the Japanese
warships had had a free hand in the
Pacific, argues the writer British com
merce would not have suffered as 1t
did from the depredations of the EN-
den and Pacific shipping would be
safer at the present moment.
Far fetched as II may seem, the
the action of Great Britain in sending
a detachment of troops to join in the
attack on Tsing-tau, ignoring the
Japanese lives which must have been
Ridicule british Aid to Japanese.
The japanese newspaper ridicules as
unreasonable the idea OF sendlng a rev
British soldiers to assist the great
Japanese army which needed no nelp'
while drawing on raw recruits IN Ing
land for the campaign in France.
For the same reason fault IS tound
with having British ships Join IN the
blockade OF Tsing-Tau. Disgust is eX-
pressed over the idea OF any unit Oh
the Japanese navy taking orders from
q foreign power, and il is intlmated
that the Chinese will feel a certain
contempt for their oriental cousins IN
der these circumstances.
Crftfcises British Diplomacy
Then, too. the Mainichi thinks, Brit
fish diplomacy has been placing un-
bearable limits on japanese diplomacy.
The general disposition of the Japan
ese seems to be growingly less con-
tented with English speaking races
The treatment of American topics IN
the public press is even more sense
less than the criticisms of Great Brit
ain. while the Germans complain that
Americans are hostile to them the
japanese persist In accusing the United
States Of doing all they can TO alo the
kaiser.

Commissioner Bigelow Takes a
Step Which VIII Be of Great
Benefit to Farmers

State Highway Commissioner Bige-
low has ordered the automobile reg
istration division to accept all appli-
cations for the registration of traction
engines or trailers when received on
form of application to which no
copy of the rules and regulations is
attached. This plan has been ap
proved by traction engine owners
throughout the State. who have re-
quested that the present form of ap-
plcation, incorporating rules and
regulations regarding the operation of
traction engines, be discontinued.m
The action taken by the State High
way Commissioner will prove of great
benefit to the farmers of Pennsylvania
both to those who own traction en-
gines or trailers which they use for
their own harvesting or for that of
their neighbors and to those who are
forced to depend upon the hiring of
traction engines to do their necessary
farm work. The farming interests in
Pennsylvania approve the change in
the method of registration.
This order removes all chance of
further misunderstanding and objec-
tion to the automobile act of July Z,
1913. New form blanks have been
printed and can be secured upon ap-
plication to the State Highway De-
partment.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, and stomach ache
are in probably nine cases out of ten
simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of the
stomach, causing the formation of gas
and acids. Wind distends the stomach,
and causes that full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and infiames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the fermenting food.
such fermentation is unnatural, and
acid formation is not only unnatural,
but may involve most serious conse-
quences If not corrected. To stop or
prevent fermentation of the food con-
tents of the stomach and to neutralize
the acid, and render II bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated
magpesia, probably the best and most
effective corrector of acid stomach
known, should be taken in a quarter of
glass of hot or cold water immedi-
ately after eating, or whenever wind
or acidity is felt. This stops the fer
mentation. and neutraliZes the acidity
in a few moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unnec-
essary. Stop or prevent them by the
use of proper ant i'd. such as bisur-
ated magnesia. which can be obtained
from any druggist and thus enable the
stomach to do its work properly with
out being hindCred by poisonous as
and dangerous acids.-M. f. P.-Ad-

WAR MAY SEND PARIS
MOD|STES To AMERICA
Harrisburg Shop Owners Give Hint
as to What the Well
dressed Will Wear
WIDER SKIRTS THE THING
Heavier and More Material to Be
Used; Color Tendency
For Soft Tones
WIDER SKIRTS THE THING

Speculation as to what the styles
will develop this Fall is now occupy
ing some attention in the feminine
world, and already watchful eyes are
cast in the direction of the Harrisburg
shop windows But, according to a
prominent buyer this morning, 1t will
be some little. time before the Fall
styles make their appearance. Indi-
cations of the prevailing modes, he
said, are obtainable, but what the final
fiat of fashion will be is at present in
determinate.
One report is TO the effect that the
Partisan modistes are considering re-
moving their esta blishments in en-
tirety to this side of the sea owing to
the war. While the final decree has
not gone forth, new evolution in
fashion is taking place. The new
silhouette differs from that of last
season, which was of the natural or
Orient type. The figure line is now
appearing in two distinct forms. 1t is
in the bodice that they differ. One
has the semi-fitted effect and normal
waist line. The other shows straight
lines from the shoulder to the low
waistlne. In both cases the skirt is
growing wider and this tendency will
increase as the season advances Even
where the narrow effect is adhered to
the long tunic. which is made very
full gives the appearance of addi-
tional width. The new styles, 1t is no
ticeable, will require an increase in the
amount of dress material used. Fab
rics of greater weight will be chosen.
Materials Most Favored
The materials most favored for suits
and for separate skirts are gabardines,
serges. poplins and novelty worsteds
as we'll as broadcloth. peau de souris,
velvets and fur fabrics. In coatings
! the tendency Is very largely in favor of
2ibelines, wool velours, chinchillas and
fabrics giving the effect of warmth.
Novelty checks. small plaids and
Scotch mixtures are also considerably
employed. Nelours. velvets and fur
ia brics are also we'll thought of for
separate garments. Dresses show a
greater use of cloth than for several
seasons. The most favored fabrics of
this kind are broadcloth, gabardine,
prunella cloth and serge. High lus-
tered silks predominates such as
satin, charmeuse, messaline and fine
faille. The color tendency is largely
for soft. dark tones. All-black and
black and white effects are expected to
find favor.
The long tunic skirt. the TERED and
ruffied skirts and plain tailored skirts
will be found in the Fall displays The
basque is going to reappear but 1t will
be in a modified form eliminating the
tight effect that was the style years
ago For this reason the semi-fitted
effect will prevail.
Another style which bids fair to
come strongly to the front Is the
straight untitled bodice somewhat
suggestive of the Moyen Age styles
which had such a general adoption
five years ago.
