SUN BATHS GOOD
FOR SOLDIER BOYS
(By Associated PTess.)

PARIS, June 16.-Sun baths for
the treatment of wounded soldiers are
said to have greatly facilitated the
healing Of wounds. Monsieur Ar
sonval recently explained the system
devised by Joseph Vallot to the
Academy of Sciences. The patients
are sheltered from the wind, and they
receive sky radiations as well as rays
of the sun, the air being raised to a
temperature of from 100 to 10 de
grees Farenheit. These conditions are
obtained by the use of absorbing
screenes of canvass painted white
and stretched on wooden frames. The
bath is formed by three vertical
screenes, six feet high and five feet
wide, set at an angle of 100 degrees
so as to reflect the suns rays inside,
the top being left open.

international Congress Will Amend
Rules of Universe So as to Favor
Nations at Peace After the European
Conflict Ends.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
Former Secretary of State Bryan today
issued a statement to the press in
which he predicts that the European
war will be matter of ancient his
tory in a few months and Uncle Sam
will shortly have an opportunity to
act as referee at peace meeting
between the warning factions.
The former chief adviser of Presi
dent Wilson takes this view after
carefully studying conditions abroad
and at home. He refuses to set date
for the termination of hostilities but
is optimistic enough to state that it
will be in the near future.
After the European war America
will be in a position to control the
trade of the world anG the United
States will enter a period of pros
perity, according to the former Dem
ocratic boss. The United States must
make provision for handling the trade
of the world at the end of hostilities.
Mr.. Bryan believes that after the
war is over the nations of the civilized
world will call a conference at which
time the present rules that govern
international relations will be amend
ed. "At present the rules favor the
countries at war and not those az
peace" he stated.
The United States has been greatly
embarrassed by the scarcity of mer
chant ships. Had the United States
had twice the number of ships she
had at the outbreak of the war
the trade with Europe wouldt have
already assumed enormous proper
tions. Uncle Sam must porvide more
Ships if she would reap benefits due
from the war, Mr.. Bryan states
in his communication addressed to the
people of the United States.

FRENCH AEROPLANE
ATTACKS KARTHRUE
FOURTEEN WOUNDED
(By Associated Press.)

KARSHRUE, Germany, June 16.-
A French aeroplane squadron bonn
barded this city late yesterday, nina-
teen persons being killed and fourteen
seriously wounded during the rain Of
explosive missils thrown upon the
city by the hostile aircraft. Dozens
of persons slightly injured are not
included in the foregoing statement
of casualties.
Throughout the attack the inhabi
tants remained calm, though there
has since developed great Indignation
because of such an attack being made
on an unfortified town, in violation of
the provisions of The Hague conven
ton. 1t is probable this feature may
form the basis of an ote shortly to be
addressed to the United States and
other neutral powers, and it is not
improbable Germany may order re-
prisals upon similarly situated French
cities.

FREAK FASHIONS
FOR SOCIETY MEN
(Snecia1 70 Times-Recorder) !

Especial to Times-Recorder)
ATLANTA, June 16,-Striped silk
suspenders will be stylish before the
summer is over, according to the
dope of Atlanta Beau Brummels who
have been to New York. They say
that the long despised "gallus" is
coming into its own again.
1t has been more than ten years
since suspenders went out of fashion
among the majority of men. Many
men for years have been wearing a
belt even with their evening clothes.
And for even longer than ten years
suspenders have been taboo for negli-
gee wear, and whenever some of the
old fashioned ones strolled out on the
front porch in their shirt sleeves AMI
suspenders on a sultry afternoon it
scandalized the neighbors and dis.
pleased fathers stylish wife and
daughters.
Many a man, particularly the men
whose waist measures more than his
chest, will be interested to learn that
suspenders are coming back.

GERMANS CLAIM
ADDITIONAL GAINS
AGA|NSTRUSS|ANS
(By Associated Press.)


LONDON, June 16.-German claims
that Teuton troops have achieved new
successes along the Galician front in
the continental war are partially con-
firmed late today In the official state
ment issued at Petrograd by the Rus
sian war ministry. This statment
admits the withdrawal of Russian
troops across the frontier at several
places, notably in the vicinity of the
rivers Striker and Tismeniza. The
statement asserts, however, that at
other points along the extended battle
front Russian forces have attained
successes of importance.
British Offensive in West.
The British army on the western
front, it was officially announced at
noon, has captured another line of
German trenches west of LaBasse,
and in the vicinity of Hill No. 60, the
recent scene of such violent fighting
between the contending armies. De-
tails of the struggle which gave to
the English army this new territory
are not given in the official statement.
Along the remainder of the western
battle front comparative quiet con-
tinues, the French, apparently, having
abandoned their recent offensive in
Northern France. Continuous firing
marked the whole of the past twenty
four hours, but was attended by NJ
changes Of Importance.
Italians Pushing Toward Trent.
The invasion of the Austrian prov
ince of Trent by an Italian army,
according to authentic advices from
both Rome and Vienna, continues TO
progress steadily, though details of
fighting in that theatre of war could
not be obtained at noon. Newspaper
correspondents have been unable to
get even the briefest dispatches passed
by the censor, and it is probable i'm
portant events are occurring in that
portion of the world.
Brief dispatches from the Island Of
Lemnos, Athens and other points in
communication with the French and
english fighting forces at the Dardan-
elles indicate a disposition on the part
of the Turkish forces to weaken, AMI
it is generally predicted marked
progress on the Peninsula of Gallipoli
will shortly be reported by the allied
forces engaged in the reduction Of the
Turkish defenses.
