of shrapnel was offered Russia by Amer ican manufacturers six months ago but for some req son or other was not accept ed. Since that time Russia has been forced to buy the same shrapnel at al- most double the first price quoted.
 Officers who helped conduct the retreat describe vividly the tragedy of fighting with insufficient ammunition.
 German and Austrian trench builders the description asserts. appeared and be- gan work not far from the Russian po- sitions. Russian observers sigfaled to battery commanders but received the re- ply in almost every case that there was no ammunition to waste. Accordingly the Teutons built their trenches in plain sight of the Russian positions and in such easy range of the Russian batteries that a few rounds of ammunition could have wiped out every sign of the invaders.
 Whenever there was a chance to fight the Russian soldiers fought with great obstinacy, but in most cases the tempest of the German artillery attack so far accomplished its aim that a charge was superluous. Sometimes as many as 16 German guns, concentrated on one Rus sian position, tore up every sign of the Russian entrenchments.
 Meanwhile the Russians were expend- ing before retreat actually the last shell they had. Caissons laden with ammun- ton were rushed up at full speed to the battery positions, unloaded and vain ly spent Continual rumors were heard that fresh ammunition was arriving. It was. but it was coming too slowly. Two days before Warsaw was abandoned ann intuition began to arrive in larger quan- titles, but the Russian forces, threatened by the German encircling movement, could no longer gamble on the chance of an eleventh-hour arrival of ammunition.
 The Grand Duke Sergius, who has gen. eral supervision over the department of artillery and ammunition, is beginning campaign against the evil which has been Russia's chief internal enemy in fhis war

who have talked with the commission CTS during their stay here:
 The credit of Great Britain and France has never been questioned. They are able to pay for anything they prom ise to pay for. Their bonds are the standard of world investment.
 War Munitions Required
 These countries require only one thing from the United States-munitions of war True. they would like to have great many other things-wheat, corn, cotton meats, manufactured goods-a thousand and one different articles, but they can exist without some of them and the others they can buy elsewhere, if necessary. But for the one thing these countries need war munitions-they are prepared to pay in gold. if they have to. And they will pay in gold rather than to submit to terms they think are onerous in estab' fishing a credit here.
 The two chief obstacles that seemed to appear obvious were the question whether Washington would regard un- favorable the issuance of a loan bGsed on British and French government bonds, as being unneutral. and whether the banks of America could assimilate such a loan without collateral. In some quar- ters it is believed that the banks can do it. If so, 1t will have been neither equaled nor approached in the history of Ameri- can finance.
 It seemed unusual to the commission, 1t was reported, that there could be any serious objection or obstacle to the plan here. Money Is loaned abroad every day, almost, in Great Britain, in times of peace, upon the notes of foreign nations. It is new to the United States because America has never played in the game Of world finance and is not familiar with the rules.
 If Loan Fails
 What 1t was asked, would follow the failure of the commission to borrow the money here? The answer was wholesale curtailment of orders all the way down the list from the least to the greatest of exports, with the single exception of munitions of war, which would be bought in increasing quantities Wheat from Argentina. Australi ia>., Canada India and probably from the unlocked Dardanelles: cotton from Egypt, titled on an expansive acreage sown by orders of the British government; meats from South America manufactured goods from the few re- maining neutrals of Europe whose fac- tories would whirr night and day, would flow into France and Great Britain. while imports from America would dwindle month by month.
 Four hundred million bushels of Amer. ican wheat fresh from the harvest fields would choke American granar!es, some financiers said. if the commission should fail in accomplishing It's mission here. One authority whose name Is known the country over ventured the opinion that it would be better to dump 200. 100000 bush- els of American wheat into Lake Mich- igan tomorrow than to send the commis. sion back to Europe empty-handed.
 There is one thing that the commission = IL -vp CTS: That it's errand here has to do with adjusting the exchange rate and has nothing whatever to do with the pur. chase of munitions of war. in Itself

Optimistic German View

Berlin, September 1S.-(via London. )-Ia an article In the Vossiche Zeitung en- titled Tension" George Bernhard, the political writer, discusses the Dumba in- cident as a prelude to a survey of the general European situation. He states that the course pursued by Ambassador Dumba might not have been diplomatic. but whether 1t was justifiable under in- ternational law Is 8 debatable point
 The Austro- Hungarian ambassador, however. rendered indirectly great service" Herr Bernhard continued, flor he has called attention to the exploita- tions of poor working men in ammuni- ton factories. This is absolutely com prehensible. The ambassador desired to sever the bonds of these white slaves It was the more his duty to make the attempt since these people invited se- were penalties by their inimical acts.
 The ambassador was not only justified but was under obligation to point out. either personally or through consuls the undignified and punishable procedure of the Austrian and Hungarian ammunition workers"
 Regarding President Wilson's note to Austria Herr Bernhard says: Tt is ab- solutely correct" and adds
 Tt again gives specific assurances that the relations of the two nations shall remain as of old the American govern ment calls them friendly)."
 Herr Bernhard expresses the belief that there is no likelihood of more serious complications as a result of the latest development

 The numerous attacks on London by Zeppelin dirigibles has impelled the British government to appoint Admiral Sir Percy M. Scott. formerly director of naval gunnery practice. to assume charge of the defenses of London against air raids.
 The Anglo French financial commis- mission, 1t is reported, Is epdeavoring to borrow from bankers of the United States $1,0o0, 100000 with which to pur- chase from this country munitions of war and wheat. cotton and other com modities.

AUSTRIA DIVIDED
 ON DUMBA RECALL Francis Joseph Displeased
 at Action of United States KAISER IS INTERESTED Telegrams of Bitter Tone Exchanged Between Bethmann- Hollweg and Baron Burian, Austrian Foreign Minister
KAISER IS INTERESTED

Geuod, oWll1crldnu, SeptemDer 1S.-I ne Vienna morning newspapers have lead ing articles on Dr. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador to the United States, con sidering the affair one of vital interest.
 The articles indicate that the request for his recall has divided Austro-Hun- garian statesmen into two camps. Those of the party of Baron Burian, the for eign minister, apparently are persuaded that Ambassador Dumha acted under the influence of Won Bernstorn, the Ger man ambassador to the United States, without orders from the home govern ment. The Hungarian party on the con trary, believes that pr. Dumba did his duty in order to prevent arms and am- munitions reaching the powers of the quadruple entente under the circum- stances.
 It further appears from the articles that Emperor Francis Joseph was displeased with the action of the United States in the case and that in substance he expressed the view that the personality of the Austrian ambassador was a suffi- cient guarantee against statements at- tributed to him by the United States, which were without solid basis of fact. It is declared, likewise, that telegrams of somewhat bitter tone were exchanged on the subject between Foreign Minister Burian and pr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg. the German chancellor. The German Em- peror Is declared to have been greatly interested in the development and to have recalled Foreign Minister Won Jagow to Berlin, the foreign minister having been preparing on Sunday to go to Vienna.
 The question of diplomatic ruptures with the United States is being dis cussed by the papers.

Thin, brittle. colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.

scopes which have helped to broaden the study of bacteriolosy have done more to eradicate disease and to in- stall sensible ideas. many of which have really become fashions. than all the preaching of old-time doctors.
 A study of this cottage house plan shows more window surface than a S50,000 house built years ago. When the window shades are rolled up to the top the house is as light as new office building. There are no dark corners for the harOoring of dirt and bacteria
 The plan shows that the front of the cottage is given up entirely to com fort. There is living room 22 by li feet, with a sun parlor loggia II feet by feet 6 inches arranged in such a manner that both rooms are comfort. able in winter as well as in summer.
 The large cobblestone chimney is built especially to provide a fireplace for one end of the fine living room. The cobblestone finish may be repro. duced in the living room or not, as the owner wishes.
 Cobblestone for inside finish has nev- CT become very popular. However. if the stones used are carefully selected for color. the finished chimney and fireplaces may be made very attrac- tive. The stones that are polished by rain and snow and sunshine acquire colOrs soft in tone and they may be selected to blend together harmonious ly to build up a work Of art. This part of the decoration belongs to the owner. The stone mason will place the cobblestone in any position re- quired. but the superintendence of the owner will be necessary 10 bring about the desired result.
