prise with Citizens National
" Bank.

of Alexandria County, for the. neces-
sary funds to pay the county's share

partment of Agriculture, Of the
United States government, and the
authorities of Alexandria County.
The cost is estimated at 100000 and
the length of the road to be built is
approximately four miles. OF this

FUND FOR. WOMEN
RUNNING SHORT
EMore Beneficiaries on State
Pension List Than Ever
Before.
CASE IS EXPLAINED
Aid of Daughters Of Confederacy
Chapters Needed to Insure Regular
Payments to Those on List.

| Richmond, July 27.-Though The
General Assembly of this year
doubled former State appropriations
for the care of needy Confederate
| women, who are not inmates Of any
home, making the appropriation
| SIS, 900, the money is already nearly
exhausted, according to Mrs. Samuel
A. Ri6dick, president of the Virginia
Division, United Daughters of the
|, ,Confederacy, and Mrs. N. '. Ran
idolph, chairman of the relief commit
tee of the Virginia Division
The Legislature in 1912 apropri-
ated $4,000, and like amount was
appropriated in the following year
for the relief Of the destitute Con-
federate women of Virginia. This
year the appropriation was doubled,
and it is still insufficient to meet all
the demands upon it. The Auditor of
Public Accounts iSburses the ap-
propriation on the recommendation of
the chapters. The chapters then be-
come responsible for the eligibility
Of applicants, who must be more
than sixty years of age, destitute, not
on the State pension rolls, not an in
mate of any institutional home.
There are now on the auditors roll
142 Confederate women, representing
nearly every county In the State,
and receiving from 50 to $12 a quar-
ter, according to age and inirn1ity.
The appropriation of 1914 is taken
up, and no more names can be added
until death shall have removed some
now on the roll.
The relief fund Of the Virginia Di-
visiom which is supported by the
chapters, takes care of the cases
which cannot be placed on the audi
tors list. There are now, it is stated,
more benefciaries than ever before,
and yet the contributions have fallen
short, a condition, it is said, which
is not due to lack of interest. but to
the fact that the chapters think the
appropriation from the State suffi-
icient to meet all appeals.
As matter of fact, this is not the
case, for there are now thirty-nine
Virginia Division beneiciaries, each
receiving from the division treasurer
monthly check for S3, which means
an outlay of SIT per month. Mrs,
Riddick and Mrs. Randolph say that
unless this is borne in mind and the
! chapters send in their belated con-
tributions, the time is not far dis
tant when the amount on hand will
be exhausted and the checks, of ne
cessity, be discontinued. They think
that statement of existing facts
will be sufficient, without an appeal

Batter Down Door and At
tempt to Lynch Of
Tending Negro.
THEIR VICTIM SAVED
Camp at Gordonsville Thrown Into
Excitement Following Attack On
Militiaman. .s.,s.

Gordonsville, Va, July 27.-Armet
guards patrolled streets of Gordons-
willie Saturday night to prevent riot
ing. following the rushing OF troops
into town from camp to frustrate al
attempt to lynch James Addison, a
half-witted negro, who, it is afieged
made murderous attack on a ma
tiamen at the carnival grounds. In,
arrival of the relief party was ]ust
in time, as the infuriated comrades
of the injured man had succeeded IN
battering down the flimsy door IN
the small town Jail. While the ne
GRO was rushed from town by guards
eighty men under Captain Ranley
took charge of the situation. and at
ter putting on patrol, rounded up
all stragglers and brought them
back to camp. At II o'clock the sit
uation had quieted down and no fur
ther trouble was expected.
Addison, who is a stable hand In
the town, is said to have threatened
q noncomissioned officer in one of the
regiments, ard then attacked him.
The militamen was hit with rock
and fight began, in which the negro
was beaten up. He was arrested by
The civil authorities and rushed to
Jail, followed by several hundred OF
the State volunteers. 4 battering
ram was improvised from a wagon
tongue and the frail door speedily
broken down. The arrival of the
troops saved the negro from rough
harldling, if not from being sumnar
lily punished.
Under orders of Colonel Wilder, U.
S. "A, all militiamen in town were
picked up by a provost guard, COM
ngandei by Captain Bowman, Com
parry NJ, Second Regiment, brought
back to camp and turned over to
their commands.
There was intense excitement in
town, where the usual Saturday nigh.
crowd had been augmented by the
country people who; had visited the
camp.
Efforts were instituted to fl: the
responsibility for the trouble. The
injured militian1en was lost in the
crowd, and the military authorities
have not learned his name. Othe,
than the one fight, the soldiers were
quiet and orderly in; town, but tn;
attack of the militianlen famed int
flame the spark of mischief which:
has been smoldering all week.
1t is probable that. only men witt
leaves of absence will be permitted in
town for the rest of the week al
though this is the first trouble.

BURNING OF BRIDGE
Firing Upon Austrian Transport
Brings Sharp Engagement-Con-
centration of Fleets of Nations.

London, July 27.-Servian troops
today blew up the railroad bridge
spanning the Savre river at Scmlln
1t is at Semlin that Austria has con-
centrated the greatest force for the
invasion Of Servia.
Reports were received today that a
battle is in progress near the mouth
of the Tames river. east of Belgrade.
The outcome of the fighting has
not been learned.
Heavy concentration Of AuGtrlan
troops on the Servian and Mortene-
grin frontiers and mobilization o!
more are admitted.
The Servian army is concentrating
in the interior and the Montenegrin
army has been called out. Belgrade
citizens engaged in a panicky exodus,
fearing the immediate capture Of the
Servian capital by the Austr!ans.
Other powers in Europe are en-
deavoring TO prevent general war
Russia is seeking more time 70 Ser
via to answer the Austrian demands
but has warned Austria and Term
any that it cannot be Indifferent To
an invasion of Servia. Stern orders
just issued against publicity of mil
itary movements conceal activities Of
the Russian army, five army corps
of which are reported to be mobiliz-
ing.
The Kaiser and Gar are said to
have been in personal commInica
ton, but Berlin reports that Germ
any has taken the position thai the
quarrel between Austria and Servia
is their own affair ard that others
must not interfere. Great Britain
France and Italy, reluctant to be
drawn into the conflict, are pressing
Germany to restrain Austria, al
though Italy has given assurance
that she will support her ally.
Answering the announcement that
the German fleet was concentrating
in the Baltic the British and Trench
fleets have been ordered to abandon
planeuvers and remain in close to
their bases. Tie Italian fleet ir
concentrating in the southern Ad-
riatic.
War feeling is still running high
in Germany and Austria and people
In Russia and France are resentful o!
the attitude of the Triple Al ::ance
and are making demonstrations hos
tile to Austria and Germany.
A tremendous force Of art llery
$3.50 guns makes formidable the
field army of European Russia,
which has been completely recrgan
lied since the lesson taught b.. ia
pan.
The Russian war minister ha, an
nounced to the Car that thirty army
corps are eady for this emergency.
The fighting strength of an army
corps may be taken as 10000 .Gclud-
ing 1000 cavalry.
So Russia is prepared to mobilize
100000 men.

GLASS OF SALTSIF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel
Backache or have Blad-
der trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
fort to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue Is coated, and when the
weather Is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine Is cloudy, fun OF
sediment: the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night
To neutraltze these irritating acids
and flush of the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jads Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast for few days, and your kidneys
will then act fine, and bladder disor-
ders disappear. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with Iithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpen-
sive, harmless, and makes a delightful
effervescent nthia-water drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then. thus avoiding serious kidney
and bladder diseases. Jads Salts Com

Treasury Department.

A second payment OF s2Jo.OOO was made
today by the Munsey Trust Company
on the loan from the Treasury Depart
ment, through the national banks OF
Washington, which was made to insure
the immediate payment of deposits de-
manded from the old United States Trust
Company. This payment, like the first
of the same amount, was made without
demand by the Treasury.
This loan was made by the Treasury
Department in cash on securities fur
nished by the Munsey Trust Company,
when 1t took over and guaranteed the
deposits of the United States Trust
Company.
The loan was TO be paid in INSTALL
ments as the Treasury Department
might demand. No demand has been
necessary, however, as on both first and
second payments a possible demand was
anticipated by payment.
Payment will go through the same
channels by which the loan was made,
and the transfer will be completed to-
morrow, when the Treasury gets the
cash and returns a prOportionate amount
of securities placed as guarantee.
OF the 81 ,O00,0OO loan, one-half has
been paid without demand.
