KING OF SPAIN
 ABANDONS PLAN
 OF TRIP TO US

Paris, Sept 8.-King Alfonso, of Spain, has had to abandon plans for a visit to America, because of the war, he told Senor CeviIIier, an Argentine journalist, during an audience at which the conflict now raging was freely discussed.
 ''It is quite impossible to prophecy when the war will end,'' the monarch is quoted as saying in review of the conversation printed by the Espana Review. 'It was my pet dream to visit America, but shall not be able to go now for years. When the war is over the work here will be enormous. To hasten reforms we shall have to abandon all outward forms andb if I do not deceive myself, the role Spain will have to play will be such that her progress which hitherto has been at a snafrs pace, will be increased to stre- mendous speed.''
 'sThe same progress may be expected for all humanity if the war results in general disarmament" observed Senor zCeviIlfer.
 assAfl,'' returned the king, "after the war the nations will arm more than another. When one country like Bell gfum neutralized by agreement of all nations, eventually finds no other de- fense than her own armed force, it Is easy to understand that other coun- tries, big and little, realize that to ex- ist it is indispensable to work in times of peace and surround themselves with the, most positive guarantees.''
 Does not Your Majesty think the lower social orders will exercise pres sure on the governments to prevent them from increasing the burden of armed peace?'' asked the interviewer.
 T think, and you may repeat this,'' replied the Spanish ruler, that So- cialism will become daily more gov ernmentaI and that Socialists. will ob- tain satisfaction for their more. just aspirations by legal methods. without having to use violence; but I think also that as they evolve they will find they have been deceived by certain politicians who have made interna- tional pacifcisn a banner on which they have lived.
 Even the pacifcists will recognize after. this war that while the instincts of human nature remain unmodihed there are no better safeguards for right in international questions than foresight and strength. Besides, after the war, there will be no unempIoy- ment. On the contrary there will be work for all and it will be necessary to work. The world will continue to be what it is and in ten or twelve years we shall ask ourselves, But what hap pened 2 :"

VOW TIRPITz TO
 RETAIN OFFICE.
 BERLIN REPORTS

Amsterdam, Sept. 8.-Reports that ter of marine, intends to resign are inventions, according to the Berlin correspondent of the Nieue ROtter- damsche Courant, who claims to have obtained his information from excel lent authority.
 A despatch from Amsterdam Sept. 8, said it was reported in Berlin that Admiral Won Tirpitz would resign and be succeeded by Admiral Won Pohl, now chief of the admiralty staff and commander of the Baltic fleet. It has been consistently asserted that Admiral Won Tirpitz had come into serious conflict with Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, over the subma-5 rine campaign which the Admiral in stituted in retaliation for the British blockade. Their differences of opin- ion came to a climax with the sinking of the steamer Arabic, with it's result ing menace to the friendly relations between Germany and the United States. The chancellor and the min ister of marine visited Emperor Will liam at the front and the monarch was said to have sustained .Dr. Von. Bethrnann-Hollweg in his demands that the submarine policy be modified for political reasons.
 After this conference, it was said that Von Tirpitz proposed taking a vacation and the inference. was drawn that this was a subterfuge. adopted either to cover his retirement by order of the Emperor or to hide his own schagrin at being overruled in a policy alleged to be popular with the German people.

termiIe what course should be pur- sued in .Dr. Dumba,s case. There is no doubting, however, from what was learned today, that the~adrninistration has decided that pr. Dumba- has in- terfered in the domestic affairs of the United States, and sthataif these were normal times, his departure from this capital would be certain.
 The present tension would be re- lieved if Dr. DIr1rba should withdraw voluntarily. Apparently he has no in tention of adopting that course. He. is understood, from what he said to Secretary Lansing, to take the posi- ton that, as he was merely carrying out orders of his government in ar ranging his plan to disorganize the munitions business of this country, whatever fault exists must be blamed on the imperial authorities in Vienna and not on their diplomatic repre- sentative.
 The purpose of the Austro-Hun- garian ambassador in proposing the scheme to tieSup munitions plants ac- cordfng to the construction placed on his disclosures to Secretary Lansing was partly to help his fellow-subjects in the United States, whose condition was represented to the ambassador as pitiable. The expenditure of money suggested was for the purpose of pro viding for sworkmen who left the em- pIoy of munitions manufacturers un- til they, could find other employment. Under the laws of Austro- Hun gary and in accordance with the notice served on them, subjects of the dual monarchystwould91 be obliged to give up their places in munitions plants, and it was held that some provision fo1, their support should be made while they were unemployed These, con a by President Wilson when he comes to discuss the status of the DuInba case with his advisors.
 Other. Involved.
 But the Dumba case does not end with MT. Durnba's part in the scheme to disorganize munitions plants It has ranifications which affect others. One of them is Captain Franz von Papen, the military attache of the German embassy, who was quoted by Dr. Dumba in the intercepted letter as approving the plan to tie up muni- tions factories. Another is Alexander Nuber von Pereked. the consul gen. eral of Austria-Hungary in New York. | Sti4S another is the chief editor of a newspaper in New York printed in the Hungarian language. In the let ter taken from Archibald, Dr. Dumba said:
 Yesterday evening Consul General von Nuber (Nuber won Pereked) re- ceiyed the enclosed aide menorite from. the chief editor of the locally known paper Szabadsag. after a pre- vious conference with him and in pur- suance of his proposals to arrange foI strikes in the Bethlehem Schwat steel and munitions war factory and also the Middle Vest
 From this it appears that the Consul General of Austria-Hungary in New York and the editor of the newspaper i Szabadsag were conferring to arrange for strikes in American n1unition plants. An ambassador may do many things that a consular officer or a sprt-

beyond question the most original
play the American stage has fostered
in a quarter of a century.
The main story OF the melOdrama
deals with a murder trial wherein the
jury is put in possession of all the
facts leading TO the crime. The cir
cumstantial evidence is marshalled
before the jury and at the same time
before the audience. The witnesses
are called, one after another and in
the midst of evidence one by one the
scenes change from the court room to
the enactment of those crucial mo-
ments that .ead TO the actual crime.
The appeal of ION Trial" is found
in it's realistic INSTALLATION of a story
from real life that combines the tense
interest that attaches to the fight for
acquittal by an accused murderer. and
the battle of wits by the district at

erful and intensely dramatic exposi-
tiCn.

Here's Natures Own
Remedy For Catarrh
Hyomei Relieves Catarrh Without the
Use OF Dangerous Drugs.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has il been possible to rruthfully say
that a real remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is
breathed through a small inhaler fur
nished with it for a few minutes four
times a day, and during that time
every particle of this Hyom ei-ladcn
air taken into the air passages and
lungs is impregnated with a powerful
germ killing and health-giving anti
septic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and
never make a permanent cure OF ca
tarrh But when the cir Of Hyomei
penetrates TO the Utmost air cells OF
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen il not only kills the germs
in the throat and nose. but kills the
bacilli in the blood, freeing the mu-
cous membranes from poisonous mi
crobes and giving perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler drOpper and suf-
ficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment

merit of Hyomei that he agrees to
