WAR TRAFFIC A FACTOR,

A good part of the better showing of

part, has been due to the exports of war

OFFICIALS WONDER
WHY LANSING HOLDS
BACK COTTON NOTE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Officials
not in the confidence Of the president
and Secretary Lansing were puzzled
today to explain why the new note to
Great Britain, including sharp rejec-
ton of her assumed right to make
cotton contraband, still was held up.
Secretary Lansing stated that the
note was practically completed but
declined to say when it would be start
ed Londonward 1t is believed gener-
ally that the administration is endeav-
oring to secure some material conces-
sions by official negotiation before
placing itself on record.
At the white house it was stated
that President Wilson has been very
greatly impressed with the serious
ness of the situation, so far as the
south is concerned, and that this is
the real reason why action has not
yet been taken. He is endeavoring, it
is explained, to compile protest that
will force action rather than contin-
ued diplomatic negotiations.

CANCER OF THROAT
ATTACKS SHlvELY

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 2S.-"Senator
Shively is improving rapidly. We do
not expect that he will have to go
back to the hospital for further treat
ment. He has made no plans for the
future. although he hopes to be in
his seat when Mongress opens"
This statement on the condition
and plans of Senator Shively of In
diana, was made over long distance
telephone today from the home of his
wife's parents, at Brookville. Pa.
Senator Shiveley's throat Is still too
weak to permit his talking over the
telephone. He goes out for almost
daily automobile rides. but is treated
by special physicians each day. He
is undergoing radium treatment for
cancer of the throat 1t has been
said that he plans leaving for South
Bend in a week or two. but there was
no confirmation of this statement.
Much depends on possible changes in
the senator's condition.

GERMANY CENSURES
WIDTH OF DRESSES

BERLIN, via Amst erdam, Aug. 2S.-
The German government now is CEN
soring women's dress. A semi-official
warning has been issued, directed
mainly against wide skirts because of
the waste of material. The women of
Germany, the warning says, should
free themselves from all foreign, style,
but should not do this at the expense
of material. At the moment when
all the resources of Germany should
be husbanded most carefully, the wom-
en- should not adopt new modes, such
as wide skirts, that will increase the
use Of goods. Narrow skirts were
good in peace times, and patriotic
women should be more satisfied with
them in war times, it added.

"WAR IN INDIANA"
RUINS REAL HOUSES

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 2S.-Real
buildings are to be smashed by shell
fire during War in Indiana the war
spectacle at the Indianapolis motor
speedway, Monday. Sept. 6. No stage
props will be tolerated.
Explosives experts have declared
that shell fire and mine erruptions, to
be effective, must have something sub
stantial to work on. Canvas houses,
for instance, with their yielding, elias
tic, walls, would not do at all.
Experiments are being carried on
at the speedway at present to deter
mine a type Of construction that will
yield maximum spectacularity. Build
ings are being erected, blown up, and
new ones built in their place. only to
be destroyed in turn.
Results to date seem to favor a tyne
of house that is combination of
wood and damp straw. The former
gives strength while the latter sup
plies torch food. In Europe there are
many structures of this kind, used by
peasantry, so that their employment
during War in India will be quite
in harmony with the general European
note of the spectacle.

GARRISON RIDICULES
TEDDy'S REPLY TO-
SECRETARy'S STAND

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-"Tut,
tut is Secretary Garrison's replyy to
Roosevelt's attack on him of last
night. The secretary had a statement
prepared as follows:
THE case is closed, and the YER
dict must stand. There is nothing in
Mr.. Roosevelt's plan to reopen the
case. The personal and official rela-
tons between General Wood and my
self concern us, and do not properly
concern Mr.. Roosevelt l do not re-
quire Mr.. Roosevelt's assistance, and
l doubt if the general does The ad-
ministration has had nothing to do
with this matter, and Mr.. Roosevelt
could have obtained no authentic
knowledge of the views of the admin
istration from anything l have said
or done. AS to his assumption that
l object to the making of strong
speeches for military preparedness, it
would be impossible for him to enter
tain a more unwarranted one. I have
gone to the limit of my vocabulary to
make such pleas as strong as words
can make them. If he has found any
stronger than could find, he runs the
risk of having me borrow them. AS

men ESCAPE
AS BREST-LIT0VSk
FORTRESS IS TAKEN

PETROGRAD, Aug. 2S.-The Brest-
Litovsk garrison of 100000 men es-
capped from that fortress before it was
abandoned to the Austro-Germans,
and have joined the Russian field
forces, the war office announced to-
day. Before Brest-Litovsk was evacu-
ated, the Russians destroyed the forti-
fications and bridges.
The following statement on the fall
of Brest-Litovsk was issued by the
war office today:
Berlin statements that the fall of
Brest-Litovsk fell after an assault by
German and Austro- Hung arian troops
are inexact.
st was decided sometime previous
ly that to shut up the garrison in this
place was inexpedient Consequently,
the most valuable material was re-
moved in good time and the forts on
the left bank of the Bug resisted only
in order to allow the armies operating
in this region to retire eastward.
when the movement was effected,
the fortifications and bridges were de-
stroyed and the garrisons in the forts
rejoined the army in the field"

COMPENSATION ACT
EFFECTIVE next MONTH

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2s.-The in
dustrial board of Indiana, having in
charge the carrying out of the provi-
sions of the Indiana workmen's COM
pensation act, is in excellent shape
to handle the business which the new
law will bring. The law becomes ef-
fective the first day of September.
All blank forms and copies of the
law have been prepared with bulle-
tin of general instructions to employ
ers and workmen who come under
the provisions.
About two hundred letters are be-
ing sent out each day in answer to
inquiries, and in addition to these an
average of more than fifty call at the
office daily. 1t is estimated that there
are three hundred thousand employers
in the state and only seven hundred
and thirty of these have asked exemp-
ton from coming under the laws pro-
visions. More than two thousand en-
ployers have filed proof of having TAX
en- the insurance required, but these
proof do no have to be filed with the
board until October 1.
Seventy-fve employers, including
banks, trust companies, building and
loan companies and similar institu-
tons have been granted permission to
carry their own insurance. A special
order also exempts the state institu-
ton which are supported by tax levy
or appropriations of state money. They
will carry their own compensation liza
bility until further order of the board.

Love SHOULD PROMPT
ALL LOVE AFFAIRS

Love on an emotional basis should
sway the nature of man and WON.
an and should have physical and in.
tellectural foundation before marriage
results, according to the words Of
w. E. Hopkins, platform manager,
who delivered a lecture on Sex Hy.
giene" yesterday afternoon. to large
Chautauqua audience. The speaker
maintained, too, that love should be
based on spiritual foundation that is
purely holy.
He also advised the teaching Of chill
dren the truths of life. In part Mr..
Hopkins said: 1.-THE children should
be given the meaning of sex and par
enthood. They should know some OF
the mysteries of life. Children four
and five years old should not be told
they come from a cabbage head or the
stork brought them.
at is not a question of whether
they will learn, but how they will
learn. If they are not taught at home
they will be told incorrectly and
viciously.

WANTS TO CuRTAlL
TRUANCY IN SCHOOL

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2S-Superin-
tendent Of Public instruction Charles
A. Greathouse, seeking to improve
conditions in the schools of the state,
especially in the curing of truancy and
in stimulating incentive to study. has
made an appeal to all school patrons
preceding the opening of the fall term
"At the beginning of the new school
year." says superintendent Greenhouse
"a special effort should be made by
parents, teachers and school authori-
ties to see to it that all children of
school age are enrolled at the very
beginning of the school term and prop
erly provided with books and supplies.
Children who are given such an op.
portunity at the very opening of
school will, in the vast majority of
cases. become interested and attend
school regularly throughout the year,
and do satisfactory work.
children who are not given the op
portunity of the right kind of a be-
ginning very soon become discour-
aged, either because of late start,
the other pupils being ahead, or be-
cause not being provided with the
necessary books and supplies, they be-
come embarrassed and discouraged
and naturally fail early in the term.

RESIDENT STANDS
FIRM ON TARIFFS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-with the
possible exception of the sugar sched-
ule, President Wilson is expected I'M
alterably to oppose any revision of the
tarin at the coming session of con-
gress. He has told Senator Simmons,
representative Kitchen and other
congressional leaders, that the pres
ent tariff law has not had fair
chance to show what it can do And
he believes that it should be retained
with only minor changes. Even on
the question of sugar. the president
has not yet taken positive stand. He
is waiting investigations of cost Of
production now being made by the ag-
rlcultural department
The president has admitted to those
who have discussed the matter with
him, that much money will have to be
provided by the next congress for ex-
traordinary expenses, and especially
for the national defense But this
money, he believes, should be raised
by the issuance of short term notes or
short term bonds. Such an issue, the
president believes, would be very
popular throughout the country.

LANSING SENDS
ENJOYS TO talk
WITH CARRANzA
Administration Stands Firm
On Peace Plans Outlined
With Latin-American Pow
ers' Approval.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-One last
attempt is being made to swing Gen
eral Carranza into line for the admin
istration's Mexican peace plans. A
special representative Of Secretary of
State Lansing IL now in Vera Cruz
trying to show the first chief that. I'M
less he does agree. he will be ignored
and eventually eliminated as factor
in Mexican affairs.
Representatives Of Carranza here
declare that his mission will fail.
They say that so soon as Carranza
again is established in Mexico City.
which they believe will be today or
tomorrow, he will make another de-
mand on the United States and the
Latin-American powers for recogni-
ton.
It Is certain that any such request
will be refused. The administration
has determined that it's peace plan
must succeed and will recognize only
the provisional president selected by
1t. General Hugh L. Scott. CHIEF OF
stan OF the army, now en- route to
Washington to report In person to
Secretary Lansing on his mission to
Villa. The state department today
denied that Scott would be sent to
Carranza unless it's present represen-
tative at Vera Cruz should ask that
this be done.
Although officials decline to discuss
the next session of the Latin-Amer-
lean diplomatic representatives with
Secretary Lansing, It is understood
that 1t will be held the latter part
of next week in New York. This.
however. Is contingent on speedy
settlement of the questions still in
dispute with Germany, which are &C.
cupying Secretary Lansing's time to
the exclusion OF everything else.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 2S.-The
greatest conference Of governors in
the history of the United States In
years came to close in Boston yester-
day with a formal discussion of the
nations most pressing prOblem-mili-
tary preparedness.
The leading speakers advocated a
citizen soldiery to be maintained by
the states with large appropriations
from the federal government. 1t was
declared that a large standing army
was too great a burden upon the tax
payers and not necessary at this time.
The present condition of the United
States for national defense was a sorry
spectacle, declared the speakers. The
bellcose lingo and the peace at-any-
price citizens were both condemned
and a middle course Of adequate pre-
paredness" through a citizen soldiery
was advocated.
The leading men OF thirty states,
equipped with power and authority to
express the views of those sovereign
commonwealth, told what they be-
lives the states, individually. and the
country as a whole should do to fore
stall foreign invasion.
Advocates Big Army.
The principal address on prepared
ness was delivered by James F. Field
er, governor of New Jersey. Governor
Fielder addressed the conference on
"The Relations of the State to Ma
tional Defense He advocated a
greater army and navy and develop
ment of state militia.
Governor Edward F. Dunno of ILL
nois. led the general discussion on pre-
paredness, which followed the Fielder
paper. He, too. advocated better pre-
paredness
Former Governor Elias Nj. Ammons
of Colorado, urged~a bigger army and
navy.
While the official program marks
the adjournment of the session at 4
o'clock this afternoon, it is probable
the session will continue into the even
ing because of the importance Of the
discussion,
The conference will conclude with
an executive session of its members at
which officers will be elected and the
place of its next annual convention
selected St. Louis has put in a bid for

Chamberiain's Collie, Cholera and
Oiarrhoea Remedy.

Few medicines have met with more
favor or accomplished more good than
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. From a small begin
ming its sale and use has extended to
all parts of the United States and to
many foreign countries. Everywhere
it has received unstinted praise. We
confidently believe that it has relieved
more pain and suffering and saved
the lives of more people than any
other one preparation in use. One or
two doses of it is enough to relieve
an ordinary attack of collie or diar.
rhoea. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of dysentery with perfect sue
cess. 1t is especially valuable for
summer diarrhoeas in children. Every
family should keep it at hand as at
tacks of cholera morbus often result
fatally before medicine can be pro-
cured or a physician summoned. OBJ
