J. 5. FLAG TO FLY
 ON STRANGE SHIPS
Vessels Bought By German Money to Come Under American Registry

Washington, July 29.--Secretary Lansing and Acting Secretary Sweet of the department of commerce, in conference yesterday, agreed that American registry could not be de- nied to eleven foreign-built steamers purchased for the American Trans atlantic comany, corporation headed by Richard c. Wagner of New York.
 The freighters, according to the in> formation at the department of com merce, were purchased in British, Scandinavian and Mediterranean ports by a Danish agent named Jen- sen and Theodore Lahr, Dutch mer- chant, with money supplied by a cap- italist of Essen, Germany, named Stinnes.
 Prompted by discovery that Ger, man capital was back of the enter prise and that Jensen had been con, victed in Denmark of having violated that country's neutrality in trade with Germany, the applications for Amer ican registry were held up.
 The department was satisfied that the steamships, valued at upward of $2,000,000, represented German capi> tai, but the Wagner company. offer ing the ships for registry, is a Della ware corporation, capitalized at $250,- 900, and Wagner, an American citi- zen, is president. Members of his family hold the other offices in the corporation. At the time of the ap- plications for regiS<ry only $1,0o0 of the stock had be<n paid in.
 The bureau of navigation warned Wagner that if his vessels sought to engage in European trade they prob ably would find their way to prize court.
 Wagner said he knew nothing Of the financial arrangements made by Jensen and Lahr, but said that if German money had been used it would be repaid by subscriptions to the stock of his company in this country. He also said that some of. the ships were to be used in the South American trade.

Military Critics of petrograd
 Press Send Out Appeal

Petrograd, July 29, 12 M, Via Lon- of the newspapers of Petrograd, aft CT conversations with Competent military authorities" today called up- on the Russian public to view the events which are about to transpire with confidence and tranquility and to maintain their faith in the glori- ous Russian army until it shall under take a decision aggressive to break once for all the power of the stub born enemy"
 The Reich said: Until such time as our armies receive the needed mili- tary supplies the most sensible thing is to avoid a battle and retreat to previously prepared position, even though such retirement carry with it the occupation by the enemy of the more extensive territory than they previously had held. It is better to give up territory, which may be re- gained than to sacrifice an army which could be replaced only with difficuky"
 Quoting military authority the Reich goes on to say it is possible that Russia is on the eve of a maneuyer which will consist of the retirement of the army from line of the Wis., tula to new defensive positions mark ed by the strong fortresses of Kov- no, Grodno and BSSst-Litovsk. In conclusion the Reich lays emphasis upon the necessity of giving greater weight to strategic than political con- alterations.
 The Bourse Gazette directs atten- ton to an interview secured by it's military writer, who says that sev- enty German divisions all the Ger man cavalry and a big part of the Austro- Hungarian army is at pres ent operating against Russia, thereby preventing such Concentration of the Russian army on the northern front as would be necessary if Russia un- dertook at this time a decisive ag- gressive movement. This paper points out that until Russia has completed the mobilization of her industrial for ces her army cannot meet the German artillery on equal terms.

BRITAIN ID DOUBLE
 : SUPPLY 0F SHELLS N1
New Munitions Factories to Be t'
 5[Gs Established in England

London, July 29.-sixteen natlonal munitions factories have been estab- lished in England, and, after consul- tation with the French ministry the British government has decided to set up an additional ten large estab- Hshments.
 The announcement was made in the House of Commons last evening by the minister of munitions. David sLloyd-George, who told of the prog i ress made by his department in over coming the shortage in shells that had prevented the army on the con- tinent from doing all it might other wise have done.
 Factories Near Arsenals.
 These new factories are being erected in the vicinity of the arsena,s and the existing armament esta bliah ments, and, according to MT. Lloyd- George, when the government has completed in a few weeks the deyel- opments on which 1t is now engaged. the supply of shells would be doubled.
 ''This," said the minister of muni- tions, will not merely enable us to support our men. but will enable them to cleave their way through to vic tory.''
 MT. Lloyd George explained tha. until the new factories are built, the work of his department will be. di- rected to speeding up existing con- tracts. At first the government had been faced with grave labor short age, and some machines were lying a no In to work them. One-third of the mas chimes engaged in government work at the outset were not being utilized at night.
 Nearly 10000 Enlisted.
 During three months his depart ment had succeeded in. enlisting near ly 0,0OO men and women-nearly half of the men skilled--to the ranks of the workers connected with arma ments, and they were pouring in fur ther supplies. His department had also enrolled 100000 volunteers, but it had been found difficult to remove the ma jority of those from their present employment. However, scores of thousands of skilled men who had enlisted had been traced, and alt arrangements were made with the war office for the return of these men to the factories.
 Steps had been taken, MT. Lloyd-s George said, to increase the supply of machine guns and hand grenades for trench warfare. The government had taken ovtr the control of the machine tool factories so that no delay would arise in equipping the new establish ments.

 Treatment of Rash.
 Early treatment of jigger rash or trombidiosis, as 1t is known Is es- sential. If the condition is recog1n1- ed at it's onset the sufferer can al most invariably point with exactness to the burrowing sites and frequenlU the disappearing extremit1es or the intruders may be observed. needle, sterilized by boiling, may be used to pluck the invaders from their dermaI and even if the search proves unsuccessful, the counter -irri- tation produced by the instrument is and affords great en- joymenb to the afflicted. or if the lesions are not recent, search will, prove futile as the larvae are already safely buried. One can then only hope for an early examination of their activities, this usually recurring from five to seven days. Several extremely useful preparations are prescribed by not only to kill the mites but to reduce the irritation and re- Iieve the itching. Bathing directly of-s ter exposure is advisable in order to drown the parasites. Tho best treat ment is, however,, the avoidance of the haunts of the tornentors.
