nitrate sales. according to report

there is no American bank in Chile,
much of the benefit of the tendency to
establish dollar exchange must be lost,
as this type of exchange is only tenn
porarily favored by foreign banks.

AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.

The time is approaching when the
Keokuk Industrial association must
be reflnanced. There is no alterna-
tive. There is only one thing to 90
and that ONE thing is to speedliy
and amply financially rehabilitate the
organization. An important fact thai
all should remember is that the al
rectors of the association are giving
their time to the work of developing
the city freely and without price. Anu
another thing that should lie remeD,
bered is that when through their Ell.
forts they DO develop the industrial
life of the city they are making mon-
ey for YOU. If Keokuk gets back u
the old basis OF supporting the keo-
kuk Industrial association, resuils
that have been long time cominS
will be obtained now much more raf
idly. If ample finances are at the dis
posal of the association, delays IN
securing sites and other impediments
can be removed. There is great pow
er in money.
The Keokuk Industrial association
is a necessary organization and 81
present is very economically managed.
There are but two salaries connectel
with the association and they are MOI

not only receive NO pay but it costs

The proximity OF the Mormon

Indians were no longer to be feared,
this too, encouraged immigration to

came to seek homes along this part
OF the Mississippi. All these sought

Early in 1871 Father Alleman en-
gagged John G.. Schwartz to erect the
first church in Fort Madison on a spot
Just back Of the present old st.
Joseph's church on Third street It
was built from some Of the brick
made in the place; its dimensions
were Isx1S feet. and it served the
threefold purpose OF church, pastors
residence and school, Father Alleman

ing was dedicated In honor OF st. 10

REITERATES OLD POSITION
Americas Reply TO Austria Will Re-
fuse Embargo on Arms.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The American
reply TO Austria-Hungary' recent
diplomatic note suggesting an embar.
go on war exports 20 the allies on the
ground that the traffic has grown to
proportions which violate American
neutrality has practically been fin
ished by the state department and will
be dispatched to Vienna within the
next few days.
The note reiterateg the position of
the United States as ii was expressed
on a previous occasion to Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
that "the placing of an embargo on
the trade In arms at this time would
be a direct violation of the neutrality
of the United States"
Austria's S contention that "a neutral
government is not permitted TO allow
unhindered trade in contraband OF
war If this trade assumes such char
acter or proportions that the neutral
ity of the country is thereby i'm
paired" is declared I'm the American
reply to be impractical. The United
States contends that a limit beyond
which the amount of war exports TO a
belligerent endangers the neutrality
of a non-belligerent cannot be arbi
trarily set.

DRIVEN BACK THREE TIMES
reutons Thrice Before Were at Gates
of Warsaw

The fall of Warsaw marks the cul-
mination of the greatest sustained Of
fensive movement of the European
war. Thrice before Teutonic armies
have knocked at its gates, only to be
denied by the strength of it's defenses
and the resistance of the forces hold
ing it.
Apparently impregnable in the face
of direct attack, it was compelled to
capitulate before the sweep of a vast
movement which threatened to en-
circle the capital and with it the Rus
sian armies engaged in the campaign
of which il was the storm center.
From the north, northwest, west
south and southeast the Austro-Ger.
man forces have been pressing upon
the Polish capital in their combined
drive to force the Russians out of Po-
land and If possible to break their
offensive power for an indefinite pc
riod by administering a decisive de
feat all along the line.
The movement may be said TO have
had its conception in May when the
great Teutonic march through Galicia
began. To get at the Russian armies
in Poland from the southeast it first
was necessary to clear Galicia, or the
greater part of it, of Russian troops

They are in possession also of the

of Port an Prince are generally OF

marines are observing a very correct
attitude, which is creating a good i'm
preston.
There is no change in the local po-
