Perhaps you are only HALF SICK

RUSS LEGATION AT HAGUE
ANNOUNCES EVACUATION
OF The POLISH CAPITAL

Berlin, Aug. 4 (wireless to Say
ville) The Overseas agency today
says the Russian legation at The
Hague has officially announced the
evacuation of Warsaw on account
of lack of ammunition. The bridges
over the Vistula river, the same ad-
vices say, have been ordered blown
up.
Reports prepared at the front
and given out by the Overseas
agency says the investment of the
Russian fortress of IvangorOd is
progressing. Eight of the outer
forts have been stormed, accord
ing to these adviceS, and the pos
Sibility of the Russian forces within
the citadel escaping is constantly
diminishing.
The actual evacuation of the
Polish capital was not referred to
in the Russian official communi-
cation issued in PetrOgrad today
and no confirmation of the report
has been received from any other
source.

SEIZURES TO co ON
Britain Contends Orders i'm
Council Are Legal.
JuStifieS Course as Within In
ternatiOnaI Law.

ashington, Aug. 4.-State depart
ment officials today were preparing
the answer which the United States
will make to Great Britains replies
to the latest American representations
in reference to interference with the
neutral commerce.
Great Britain, in her notes pub
lished today, refuses to accept the
American contention that the orders
in council are illegal and justifies the
British course as being wholly within
international law.
Will Apply Orders.
Great Britain. it is declared, will
continue to apply the orders in coun-
Gil, but with every effort to avoid en-
barraSsment to neutralS. 1t is denied
that international law is violated by
the blockading of neutral ports to cut
off an enemy'S commerce with foreign
countries, and Great Britain declines
to allow the free passage of goods
originating in Germany and territ ory
under German control
Great Britain's reply is embodied
In two notes, one supplemental, and
together with the correspondence over
the American steamer NecheS, seized
by the British while bound from Rot
tcrdaT, t. 1h@SEInired States with
goods of German origin. also published
today, totals 1000 words.

the American caveat giving notice that
the United States would not recognize
the orders in the council in lieu of in

holds unjust.

Serious BIunders of the Past
Not To Be Repeated.
BY ED L. KEEN.

London, Aug 4.-Humility and resig-
nation to her weakness replaced the
blind confidence and cocksuredness
of a year ago in Great Britain today
in thousands of patriotic meetings
throughout the empire. observing the
anniversary of the declaration of war
with Germany.
The empire, without reservation, re-
affirmed its determination to carry the
war to the bitter end. Prepared res
olutionS adopted at gatherings in Brit
ish possessions throughout the world
pronounced that policy.
Many Serious BIunders.
But everywhere there was a striking
contrast between the spirit of the peo-
pie of today and of one year ago.
Throughout today's meetings ran the
feeling that Britain has made serious
errors in the past, but that 1t has a
bulldog determination to profit by
these mistakes and to see to it that
they are not repeated in the future.
The London newspapers sounded
this keynote today in their anniver-
sary comment. With practical una
nimity they frankly discussed the en-
pire's grave danger and declared that
only a supreme unified, sacrificial ef-
fort could save the empire from dis
aster.
But the tone of their editorials on
the whole was strongly hopeful for
the future

VILLA in REPRISAL
MaytOrena to Withdraw Troops
Protecting Americans.
More Depredations by Indians
i'm Sonora Are Feared.

Washington, Aug. 4.-General May
torena, the Villa governor OF Sonora,
is preparing to withdraw his troops
which have been protecting American
settlers against Indians from the
Yaqui valley and has declared If
American marines are forced to land,
precipitating a conflict. the response
bility will lie with the Carranza forces
now moving into the valley.
Major General Funston, command
ing the border forces, reported today
that news of Maytorena's plans had
reached him. Several weeks ago when
the Yauuis and Villa troops were
threatening to resist the landing of
the American rescue force from Ad-
rnfral Howard's squadron, the situa-
ton was smoothed out by the dispatch
of sufficient Mexican troops to protect
the settlers. With their withdrawal
more depredations against the Ameri-
cans are feared.
Consul Silliman, in a dispatch from
Vera Cruz filed late last night, noti-
fled the state department that the
Carranza railway traffic manager
there had informed MIN that pro-
vision trains were prepared to hurry
through to Mexico City. Telegraphic
communication into Mexico City, the
traffic manager announced, was ex-
pected at any hour. Regular railway
traffic for the public, he announced,
probably would be established in two
or three DAYS.

manufactured twine had been shipped
to merchants in various parts of the
state. Then the state sat down and
waited for remittances that did not

delinquent accounts appeared in the
hands of the state. The merchants
and farmers had the uwine-the state

Charles M. Harger of Abilene,

to the state attorney the various ac-

Not a Saloon in the Country in
Ten Years.
Saws Golden State Is No Place
for Poor Man.

In the next campaign, the Kansas
colony in California will make possi-
BILE a statewide prohibitory liquor
amendment and iE ten years the
United States will embrace national
prohibition. That is the opinion
which Governor Capper expressed
today as a result of his three weeks
visit in the coast state.
Everyone in California shows re-
markable interest in the liquor ques-
ton, says the governor Almost
without exception the formerly of
Kansas crowd is strongly in favor of
the anti-liquor amendment, which re-
Gently fell but a few thousand votes
short of passage.

markable interest on the part of the
people of California in prohibition,
said the governor. From one end of
the state to the other, was asked if
prohibition was success. L was In
terview by many newspaper reporters
in San Francisco, San Diego and Los
Angeles and in almost every instance
they came at me with questions about
prohibition. That part of my address
at the Frisco and San Diego expo
sitions giving unqualified endorsement
of the Kansas prohibitory law, was
received with more enthusiasm than
any other statement
II am of the opinion that prohibi-
ton will carry at the next election in
California. If it wins, its success will
be due largely to the aggressive eff
forts of the former Kansans now .iv-
ing in California. As near as 1 could
learn there are now over 40, 900 ex-
Kansans now residing in the state. Al
most without exception, they are en-
thusiastic supporters of the campaign
to put the saloon out of business.
Movement Is Growing.
"T talked with five other governors
and with many senators, congressman
and other prominent visitors from all
over the United States who are visit

reported that the movement for ma
tional prohibition was growing rap

vinced that in less than ten years there

AT LINCOLN AGAIN
Lakaff Works in First Game
This Afternoon.
Savages Take One Run Lead in
First Inning.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4.-This after
noon Topeka and Lincoln again came
together in a doubleheader bill and
there was much speculation among
local fans regarding the probability of
repeating Tuesdays drubbing. Jimmy
Jackson, however, does not go with his
dauber down very long at a time and
it was generally conceded that McIn-
tyres men would do all that could be
taking one of the games.
For the first contest, the batteries
were announced as follows: Lakaff and
Monroe for Topeka; Narveson and
Yantz for the Tigers. The Savages
started scoring early and made one
run in their first time at bat. after
which Lakaff held Lincoln scoreless.
BBostick scored the initial run for
the Savages. He hit fly to right field
that Morse dropped and covered the
bags to third, scoring a few minutes
later when Cochran grounded out.
Fisher and Tydemau retired the side
on easy outs.
Neither side scored in the second
inning.
After holding the Savages. the Tig-
ers made in the third which gave
them a one run lead.
In the fourth, the Savages made an
other, tying the score.
The two Lincoln runs in the third
field hit walk and an error. The
tieing score of the Savages was made
in the fourth by Fisher. who hit a
home run over right field fence with
no one on the bases.
Lincoln forged to the front again
in the fifth when the Tigers put
across another run.

FIRST YEAR OF GREAT WAR
HAS COST SIG, 500, 100000

The first year of the war has
cost the belligerent governments
about $500. 100000 in direct ex-
penditures for military purposes.
Experts agree fairly well on these
figures. The Berlin Vorwaerts
finds the total SIG, 1915, 100000; the
French economist. Edmund Thery,
$17 7.400,000,000, and the statisti-
clan, William Michaelis of Berlin,
SIS, 100000.
This is the expense of putting
about 100000 men into the field
for the central powers, and about
100000 for the allies.
1t does not include, however, the
far greater amount lost through
the destruction of towns and viii
lagos, the ravaging of the country
side, the wrecking of bridges and
railroads and the wholesale sink
ing of ships, and the economic loss
through the diminution in produc-
tive industry, the killing of the
strongest men in the community
and the creation of a class of Grip
piles and madmen.
The war is now costing 5,000,-
600 a day, $2,0OO,0O0 an hour and
100000 a minute. The cost is
mounting steadily.

through Vyskof. 1t is officially ad-
mitted that the Slav losses in the past
forty-eight hours have been very
heavy.
A brief official bulletin issued today
furnished only meager information re-
garding the German assaults in the
north, but nevertheless it was con-
sfdered very encouraging in military
circles. Last nights official statement
reported the Germans making prog

with enormous losses"
Todays bulletin said:

attacks on the Narew line. The Rus

Military men here took this to
mean that the German advance has
been brought to a halt, though with
heavy sacrifice of life.
The belief prevails here that if all
the Russian lines on the Narew con-
tinue to hold for two more days, the
main Russian armies will reach the
new position assigned for them beyond
the Vistula.
