GOVERNORS DISCUSS WAR
Other Matters Coming Up at Boston
Conference OVershadowed by
National Defense Talk

Boston, Aug. 2..-Two dozen gov
errors meeting here today agree pref
ty generally that the moment of meet
ing is a fortunate one.
Most of them believe that the ques-
ton of national preparedness for war
is one that should be threshed out at
once. so far as the course to be pur-
sued by the various states is con-
cerned
The question has become the prinei-
pal one before the eighth governors
conference at the very outset and sew
eral state executives aside from those
designated to discuss the subject on
the formal program. indicated their
purpose to make suggestions before
the conference closes
This is true of governors from in
land and Southern states, many of
which have always set themselves
against more than minimum appropria-
lions for the army and navy, and for
their own national guard organize
tons. Informally the governors today
exchanged experiences in the develop

tive states

NO DOUBT THAT RESIN0E
DOES STOP ITCHING

It Is a fact that the moment resinoI
ointment touches itching skins, the
itching stops and healing begins. With
the aid of resinol soap, it almost al
ways clears away all trace of eczema,
summer rashes. pimples, or similar tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving the skin clear and healthy.
And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resi-
mol ointment Resinol is a doctors
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds of skin affections.
They know that its soothing, healing
action is brought about by medication
SO bland and gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists.-Adv.

Monday morning the car stopped in
the sand. The radiator was empty and
they had no water Roche and Welsh
started after a mirage which they be-

waited a day, ard then, believing
them dead, made his way to Mineral

GERMANY ASKS MORE TIME
Berlin Government Has Not Yet
Received Report Arabic Sink
ing, Says Bernstorff.

Washington, iug. 25.-Germany,
through her ambassador, Count Won
Bernstorff. today asked the United
States not to take final stand on the
sinking of the White Star liner Ara bic
until all the facts were known. 1t was
the first word from Germany since the
disaster
The ambassador telegraphed from
his summer home at Cedarhurst, Long
Island, and said he made the request
at the instruction of his government
and added that the German admiralty
had not yet been able to get report
on the sinking.
Count Won Bernstroff in his tele-
gram said that if any Americans had
been killed lit was contrary to the in
tention of the German government"
and that it was not the intention of
the German government to sink any
peaceful merchant ships in a fragrant
manner
The ambassadors request was taken
as an indication that the German gov
eminent may have facts which, in it's
opinion, justify thu action of the sub
marine commander. 1t comes as the
first ray of promise on a situation
which admittedly was growing darker
with each hour of silence on the part
of Germany

ALLIES HIT TURKS
ON 12-MILE FRONT
British Gain at DardaneIIes
After Severe Fighting and
Heavy Losses.
ANOTHER BATTLE IN PROSPECT
British Public Warned that Victory Is
Not Decision-To Invade Servia
Through Bulgaria.

London, Aug 26.-Recent opera
tions on the GaIlipoh peninsula have
enabled the British troops to extend
materially the area in their possession
and to connect their lines along a
front of more than twelve miles, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
here tonight
The public is warned, however, that
the true objective of the operations
has not been gained and that further
serious and costly efforts will be re-
quired before a decisive victory is
won" The statement says of the OPP
erations in progress since August on
the western extremity of the Gallipoli
peninsula:
These comprise two separate lines
of attack: First. from the old Anzac
position which was delivered princi-
pally by Australian and New Zealand
troops; second from the new landing
at Suvia bay, in which the fresh army
was employed. An attack also was
made in conjunction with these from
Cape Helles, toward Kritsia-
The attack from Amaze. after
series of desperate actions, was car
ried to the summit of the Sari Bahr
and Chanak Bahr ridges which are
the dominating positions in this area,
but owing to the fact that the attack
from Suvia bay did not make the
progress counted upon, the troops
from the AnZac zone were not able to
maintain their position and after re-
peated counter-attacks were forced to
withdraw to positions close by. These
positions have been consolidated eff
fectively.
Further achievements having ar
rived, a renewed attack was made on
the 21st on the center of this new and
extended line The Australian and
New Zealand troops successfully ad-
vanced about three-fourths of a mile
and a strong system of knobs was Sc
cured.
''On the rest of the battle front, adj
vance Turkish trenches were stormed.
The intermediate positions on this
part of the line not being capable OF
permanent defense, the troops were
Withdrawn to the original 'front.'
To Servia Through Bulgaria.
Telegraphing from Bucharest, the
Balkan correspondent to the Times
says reports have been received there
from many quarters to the effect that
the Austro-German forces which are
being concentrated along the northern
bank of the Danube for the projected
invasion of Servia will enter that coun.

|IT LOOKS DARK FOR GERMANY
There Seems to Have Been No Real
Excuse for Sinking Arabic and
Killing Non-Combatants-

diplomatic relations with Germany is
being generally discussed as the step
that would follow determination that
the sinking of the Arabic was deliber-

Family DAYS.

Family occasions ought to be cele-
brated frequently, even if the celebra-
ton is the simplest form of little fes-
tival. Bringing the family together
helps to promote affection. Whatever
the event, birthday or wedding ami
yersary or a welcome home from a
journey, it ought to mean something
to every member of the family, and
can be made an occasion that will
remain bright in memory when the
