PRESIDENT PLANS TO BRING SHIPPING
 UNDER U. s. FLAG

Washington, Aug. 1-President Will son has a plan in mind for bringing much of the shipping of the world under the American flag during Euro pean troubles by having Congress pass a law admitting to American registra- ton the vessels of other nations. He summoned Senator Knox and Repre- sentative Underwood. the majority leaders of the Senate and House to the White House yesterday to discuss the advisabi1ity of Introducing such bills in Congress
 The President believes that the mer- chant ships of European nations would be glad to register under the American flag at this time in order to prevent being pressed into service or being captured as prizes. Under existing laws. it is impossible foreign ships to take American registration.
 At the conference with the President Representative Adamson contended that the Panama Canal act, which permits AmeHcan registration of all ships owned by American corpora tions or individuals and off1cered by Amerf- cans, was sufficient to meet the situa-. ton. He told the President foreign governments might resent it if new legislation to Capture their commerce were passed in this crisis It was agreed that Representative Underwood ahd Senator Kern should thoroughly investigate all existing laws.

LYRIC THEATRE


 For those who have this longing the Lyric theater presents today for the last time ..eThe Royal Box in which for so long Charles Cogh1an the ae- tor, p1ayrfght and producer. starred and which was later revived by his daughter, Gertrude Coghlan with ex- cellent success Through the play runs pretty strand of love, that of the actor for Celia Pryse, a beautiful girl. who is being bounded by an old roue. She escapes the roue's attentions and hnal- ly sails for America with Clarence as his leading lady.
 The, play is clean and pretty and sweet and wholesome throughout. One of the kind that never will die. Miss Gertrude Coghlan, a daughter of the great actor who wrote and produced the play takes the leading role and there are others in the cast such g Thomas Carrfgan, Clifford Bruce, Palmer Bowman, Adrienne KeoeH and Walter Roberts.
 With 1t Is given a very clever and thrilling five part production entitled t"The Curse of Creed These two have made a decided hit with the Bridgeport theater going public since they opened on Wednesday afternoon. Today is the last chance to see them and those who have ever seen the elder Cogh1in act should not fail to see The Royal Box at the Lyric .theater.

 SKIN COMMENTS

How This Wonderful Ointment Ends
 Itching and Heals Skin Eruptions
 The soothing. healing medication in Resino1 Ointment and Resino1 Soap penetrates the tiny pores of the skin, clears them of impurities. and stops itching instantly. Resinol speedily heals eczema, rashes, ringworrn. and Interruptions, and clears away dis figuring pinnp1es and b1ackheads, when other treatments prove worse thaa useless.
 Resino1 is not an experiment. It is a doctors prescription which proved so wonderfully successful for skin troubles that. it has been used by other doctors all over the country for nine teen years. No other treatrnant for the skin now before. the pu o1ic can show such a record of professional ap- prova1. Every druggist sells ResinoI Ointment (5ec and SD, and Resinol Soap C25c). but for trial free, write to Dept 3s-R, Resino1, Baltimore. Md.

MAY BE BREACH OF.
 NEUTRALITY LAWS
Austria and Servia's Activi-
 ty Here Tn Recruiting ' Raises Question

NRashington. Aug. 1-Strenuous ef- forts being made by Austria and Ser via to recall from the United States for military. service the many thou sands of their citizens who are er1a- ployed in American factories, has at tracted official attention and the ques- tion has been raised whether such. ac-' tivdties are being carried beyond the limits prescribed by the neutrality laws.
 Advertisements have appeared in many American papers calling upon the reservists and other Austrians and Servians eligible for military duty to return to their fatherland for ser vice. and offering money for their transportation.
 The neutrality laws not only forbid from the United States directed against a friendly nation, but enlist ments are specifically prohibited The individual foreigner is left free to make his way as an individual out of the country, but extension to him of aid in the shape Of passage money and expenses and any attempt. to di-. rect his movements to certain rem dezvous in a foreign country is be- lieved by some officials here to be of questionable legality and akin to en- Hstment
 ~ Is Teca11eo that In 1858, during the Crimean war, Secretary Marcy ex- pe1Ied from the United States British Minister Champion because he was concerned in the enlistment of re- cruits within the United States for service in the British army. These recruits were directed through con- suIs at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati to Halifax, where the Brit isf1 government had opened a recruit ing sta ton and where technical en- listments were made.
