Don't Know Whether
 Or Not To Salute
 Women in Uniforms

London. Aug. 5-should woman be saluted in military fashion when she wears a kahki uniform with shoulder straps is a question that is causing the soldiers some worry. A large proportion of men do salute, most of them in the belief that the rank, even if in the hospital ser vice, is entitled to such honor. But it now devoleps that there are no reg plations covering the case, and the salute is largely a matter of ga11antry-
 The Womens Volunteer Reserve and the Women'ss Reserve Ambu- lance, whose members wear kahki, say this color was chosen not from a desire to initiate tue army but be cause it defies dirt. The women neither expect nor want the salute. However. they find that the uniform, shoulder straps and discipline add to their efficiency.
 The nurses in France wear kahki. and they are saluted by courtesy in recognition of their/ services French and Belgian officers in particular were quick to offer them this tribute

YELLOW STOCKINGS
 MOSQUITOES BANE

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 5-Ai Georgia mosquito, for some mysterious reason which remains hidden in his heart or stingers will not bother any person who happens to be attired in any shade of yello1 As a result Palm Beach suits and lemon, orange or champagne co1ored evening gowns are being worn throughout the state in a campaign of mosquito snub:bing.
 A young woman socially prominent in Atlanta is responsible for the curb ing of the festive Georgia mosquito She was one of a large party recently which as attacked by a vast school, or university, of mosquitos, and 1t was noticed that she of all the naddened guests remained quito at ease during one of the most elaborate ankle pat ting conventions within the memory or those present. She wore yellow stockings of silk, and when, late m the evening. another young woman arrived with similarly colored hosiery it was noticed that she too seemed to escape the attacks of the buzzing assass1ns. Then <. discussion started
 A physician who was present ana ] who knew of the effects of colors upon certain insects decided to conduct some experiments, and. as a result l of these he announced that some mos i .quitoes, certainly those of Georg1a'

Petrograd Holds
 Golden Hoard of
 $85O, ,OO0, GOO

Petrograd, Aug. 5-The largest hoard of gold in the world is that held in the vaults of the Russian state bank, amounting now. to about o,o00,00o. Yet a visitor may travel from one end of the Russian Empire to the other and not see enough gold to buy pair of shoes. Paper currency is used universally.
 The check system, as It prevails in the United States and England is practically unknown in Russia. AL though the larger cities have many fine banks, the ordinary provincial business man distrusts banks, and there are hundreds of thousands of prosperous Russians who have never I had a banking account in their lives. Their Working capital is. represented a by paper currency of big denomina- : ton which they carry in a leather bag suspended by a thong around their neck. Tn Russia the visitor may meet shaggy men whose dress and appear ance suggests the artisan class, who are carrying with them constantly from five to ten thousand dollars in currency.

FIRST BULLFEGHT IS HELD UNDER
 ELECTRIC. LIGHT
Program to Escape Heat
 Defeats It's Purpose.

Madrid, Aug. 5-The first bullfght ever held at night, which was held here on July 3, proved such suc- cess that it is believed the custom will be generally adopted throughout. Spain, especially during the warmest portion of the summer. The novelty of the first night bullhght attracted such a crowd that the immense sta-> diurn was filled to suffocation for there was not a breath of air string, and this largely defeated the purpose of the new idea, which Twas to escape the intense heat of the day.
 The spectacle, however, was a com plete success save for the lack of that glearning- brightness and dead shade which the Castillian sun alone can produce. Hundreds of arc lights made the arena so brilliant that there appeared to be no added risk to the bunfghters themselves from any un- familiar shadow.
 The Spanish cohnic papers are amusing themselves and the people with all sorts of dro11 conceptions of what may become ofzsome of the his i toric terms and customs for so many centuries bound up with Spain's na- 1 tnonal sport. It is suggested for ex- ample, that in place of calling the l .'blea chers'' of the, ring the "sun seats,'' these cheaper places be term l ed moon seats1' Instead, too, of the custom throwing at the feet of the slillful toreador hats. canes. cush- l ions and handkerchiefs, as tokens of the approval of the crowd, it is hint ed that, at the night bu1lfghts, pocket eIetric lamps eand the 9incande globes that light the terraced rows of the stadium seats may. come to be discomfort of the banderilleros and ItoreadOrS

Enters Lion.s Den
 To Gain Recruits

Fishguard, England. Aug I5-ser- geant Fuller, who recently won the Victoria Cross in. Flanders and has since been assisting in the recruiting campaign in England, won two re- cruits here by entering lions den.
 Fuller was speaking at open air smeting in vacant lot adjoining a small menagerie, when two young men in the outskirts of the audience jestingly remarked to him: Well join if you are brave enough to enter that lions cage unarmed.''
 HI take you at your word,'' re- turned Fuller without a moments hesitation. Lions have no terror for anyone who has been in the front trenches in Flanders
 He strode over to the menagerie, obtained the permission of the pro- prietor, and entered the cage, where there were two lions. Amid tremen- dous excitement in the crowd, he calmly stroked the lions for moment or two and then walked out of the cage and resumed his place on the recruiting platform.

 A BOMB FOR stTEDDY."
 New York, Aug. 5.-Police Com missioner Theodore Roosevelt was probably saved from a sudden death by the discovery this morning by Miss Daisy James. a clerk in the general postoffice, of a box addressed to him. and supposed to contain a. small dy- namite bomb. The package was found among the mail matter.
 The package was about $ inches long, 8 inches wide and 1-2 inches deep. She pulled the cover off when the cracking and snapping of a match was heard. Smoke came out of it and the superintendent of the depart ment found shot gun cartridge. From the cartridge ran fuse. On the cover was sand paper. Three matches were arranged so that when the top of the box was pulled out the matches would scratch against the sand paper and ignite. The fuse was placed so that the burning matches would fire it.

SERBIA MAY YIELD
LAND TO BULGARIA
News From Both Nish and
Athens Encouraging to En-
tente Allies. +.

LONDON, August liking Con-
stantine of Greece has accepted the
resignation of the Gounaris cabinet,
which was rendered to him yesterday y
afternoon by the former premier, ac-
cording to Reuters dispatch from
Athens.
Eleutherios Venizelos, leader of the
opposition, was invited to consult with
the king today.
Serbia Not Irreconcilable.
From the standpoint of the entente
Pallies the near eastern situation is
clearing with the assertion, officially
inspired from Nish, that Serbia's atti-
tude is not irreconclab BILE, but that the
settlement must be more general than
a mere rectification of frontiers in one
locality.
Former Premier Venizelos, having
been summoned by King Constantine, is
expected to be once more in the saddle
tomorrow. Rumania is becoming more
determined in her refusal to permit pas
sage of munitions to Turkey, which
country is reported to be showing con-
cern over the attitude of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria Needs Ammunition.
The key to the Balkan situation may
lie in shortage of ammunition in Bul :
garia, suggests the Daily Mail today in
an article which deals with Germany s
anxiety to ship ammunition to that
country" In support of this view the
Daily Mail cites the alleged statement
of the German military attache at
Bucharest, who. in pleading with Ru-
mania to allow munitions to pass
through that country. declared that
these were not intended for Turkey.
but destined for Bulgaria, which was
neutral.
The conclusion of the Daily Mail is
that Bulgaria has depleted her arsenals
in favor of some other power, and now
finds it necessary to rep.enish them.
