RADICALS WANT
TO DECLINE TO
ANSWER REPLY

BERLIN, July 27.-Dr. Won Beth
Hollweg, the German chancellor,
returned to Berlin today from general
headquarters of the east where he
discussed with Emperor William the
latest American note. The German
chancellor found upon return that hos
tility against the United States is
growing hourly being fostered in some
instance by the press
The Radicals are in favor of ignor.
ing the last American note by refusing
to answer it, but there is stiff opposit.
ion to such course from the con-
servatives. Most of the Socialists are
upon the side of the Conservatives
and are in favor of making some sort
of conciliatory reply which will not
compromise Germany.
Keen disappointment is expressed
that the negotiations between this
country and America instead of lead
ing toward settlement Of the sub
marine controversy are apparently
provoking a situation of the utmost
gravity. Even some of the American
citizens, who have long been residents
of Germany and who have absorbed
the German viewpoint criticized the
attitude of President Wilson.

Tan, Red or Freckled
Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer-soiled skin of
it's muddiness, freckles. blotches or tan
the best thing to do is to free yourself
of the skin itself. This is easily ac-
complished by the use of ordinary mer-
colized wax, which can be had at any
drug store. Use at night as you use
cold cream, washing it off in the
morning. Immediately the offending
surface skin begins to come off in
fine powder-like particles. Gradually
the entire cuticle is absorbed, without
pain or inconvenience. The second
layer of skin now in evidence presents
spotless whiteness and sparkling
beauty obtainable in no other way I've
ever heard of.
If the heat tends to loosen and
wrinkle your skin. there's an effective
and harmless remedy you can readily
make at home. Just let an ounce OF
powdered saxolite dissolve in a half
pint witch hazel and battle your face
in the liquid This at once tightens
the skin and smooths out the lines,
making you look years younger.-Em-
lily Coulson in Home Queen.-Adv.

CITY DRAWS PLANS
FOR NORTH THIRD

City Engineer Charles has begun
and specifications for the proposed
widening and paving of North Third
street, improvements which the board
of public works hope to provide for
next year.
North Third is a street which is
subjected to extremely heavy traffic
because the c. & o. freight and pass
enger stations are situation on it,
President Bavis said today. Before
it can be paved, however, it will be
necessary to widen a section of the
street on the east side from a point
about opposite the freight station and
north to D street. In this section of
the street much of it is occupied by
c. & O. tracks and to provide wider
driveway some property on the east
side near the corner of D street will
have to be condemned and RACED. This
Improvement will probably be the
most comprehensive and extensive un-
dertaken by the city next year. It
has to be done, however
The general public has been so
generally satisfied with the permanent
street improvements provided for this
year that there is already a well-de-
veloped demand for a continuation Of
such an Improvement policy next year
Just what can be done along this line
remains to be seen, but no policy any
where near as extensive as the one
carried out this year will be under
taken for financial reasons"

MILITARY OFFICIALS
TO TRY EDWIN BALL

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27.-Gov.
Ra!ston, as commander-in-chie of the
Indiana National Guard, has ordered
Adjutant-General Frank L. Bridges to
institute court martial proceedings
against Edwin F. Ball of Indianapolis,
who shot Walter Dowell, of Madison,
on July p, 1918, while the national
guard was in camp of instructions at
Fort Benjamin Harrison.
1t is understood the Acknowledgement
has in course of preparation the order
for the court martial and there will be
little delay in bringing the trial into
action.
Ball was indicted by the Marion
county grand jury for murder, and
Special Judge Oren S. Hack ruled that
the court had concurrent jurisdiction
with the military authorities of the
state. Gov Ralston then permitted
the case to be prepared for trial in
the criminal courts
Early in July, this year, the special
Judge nolle pressed the indictment on
motion from the prosecutors office
on the grounds that the court had no
jurisdiction and that the state Off
Gals had insufficient evidence to con-

SPORTING PROMOTERS
ASK FOR COMMISSION

Sam Vigran and George Brehm, well
known local sporting promoters, ap-
peared before Mayor Robbins at city
hall today, and urged that council pass
an ordinance providing for a local
commission which would supervise all
boxing exhibitions in Richmond.
Some states now have boxing CON-
MISSIONS" Brehm said, "and under
their supervision the sport has been
made clean and honest If three or
more responsible citizens of Richmond
were named to serve on such COM
it would revive interest local
ly in the manly art of boxing because.
under such a system, there would no
longer be any fixed bouts. The com
would have authority to re-
quire all boxers to enter the ring in
proper condition, it would insure fair
and square boxing and it would guar
antee to the fans that they would get
full value for their money"
Mayor Robbins told the promoters
that he thought the plan was merit
orious and he would bring the matter
to the attention of the council

A story of burning cities, cold blood

rendering of thousands of men, wom-
en- AID children homeless, is told in a
vivid manner in a personal letter to
DR.. A. B. Price, of this city from DR..
John Sergis, medical missionary 81

Sergis is we'll known in this city, hay

while he was student in this coun-

when they attended Indiana Dental
college.
The letter is written from Tabreez,
Persia, although the former home of
DR.. Sergis and his family is in Oroo-
miah, the center of the Christians in
that country The entire Christian dis

Soldier Deserts
To See Mother

BERLIN, July 26.-The German
poet Wilhelm Schmidtbonn, now a war
correspondent on the western front,
sends the following pathetic story:
Last night l visited one of our ad.
vanced trenches. While I was talking
with two officers we noticed a dark
shadow creeping towards our lines.
One or two shots were fired at the
suspicious figure which turned out to
be French soldier. The Frenchman
open space of about twenty yards and
leaped into our trench
with tears in his eyes, the soldier,
a strapping young fellow who gave
his name as Armand Retigneau, de-
clared that he had deserted and brav-
ed death to see his mother, poor
old woman living in village behind
the German front, once more.
"The deserter was taken before the
post commanded and questioned close
ly. He was given some food and in
the morning two German soldiers with
fixed bayonets escorted him to the
hme of his mother. His desertion had
already become known in the village
and when he arrived the whole popula-
ton greeted him with curses. Many
of the villagers spit in his face and
others threatened to attack him, but
he paid no attention to the violently
hostile demonstration When he
reached the last hut of the village with
his escort he uttered cry of joy and
little homely old woman flew into
his outstretched arms. He was with
his mother again.
again and again the de3erter en-
braced and kissed the wrinkled old
lady who had given him his life. The
pathetic scene made a deep impress
ion on the enraged mob. The men
who few minutes before threatened
to lynch the traitor began to ap-
plaud loudly, while the women and
girls cheered.
The strange reunion lasted Just one
hour Then the deserted was inform
ed by his escort that the time granted
to him was up. With a last sad en-
brace and kiss he took leave from his
sobbing mother and started on his
journey to Germany-a prisoner of
war"

.DEvELOPf EVTS SHOW
REASONS FOR DENIAL

LONDON, July 27.-Considerable
wonder was excited as to the reason
why the British admiralty deliberate
ly disclaimed any credit for sinking
the German battleship Pommern in
the gulf of Dantzig recently. The Pet
rograd official announcement stated
that IAN English submarine attacked
and blew up, by means of two torpe-
does, an enemy vessel of the Deutsch-
land type" This statement was pub
lished broadcast on the continent and
yet in the version as passed by the
Press Bureau for the English and
American newspapers. the word Eng
fish" was eXcised. 1t is not known
that the German attack ON Libau
would have been much more serious
had it not been for the presence in the
Baltic of fifteen British submarines.
which were instrumental in sinking at
least two German transports.

.FOOTMEN TO KING
LEAVE FOR FRONT

LONDON, July 27.-King George
and Queen Mary have given a lead to
the British nation in several matters
of domestic economy, and yet another
example in this regard is now found
in the Kings decision not to fill a
number of posts in the royal house
hold vacant because the holders have
enlisted. In normal times, the staff
of footmen at the Palace numbers
twenty, but the work is now done by
eleven.
Several of the higher appointments
in the household still remain vacant;
for instance, the office of Deputy
Master of the Household, which was
held by the late Lord John Hamilton,
brother of the Duke Of Abercorn, who
fell early in the war. Another post
still vacant is the second assistant
secretaryship, which was held by
Lieut. Colonel Sir Frederick Ponsonby,
who is now Keeper of the Prvy Purse
in succession to the late Sir William
Darlington.
