SHARP NOTE TO ENGLAND.
Situation Regarded as Intolerable and an
Understanding Must Be Reached.

Washington, July 23.--lmmediately
after Secretary Lansing had signed tire
note to Germany, he took up with the
president the new note that is shortly to
go to Great Britain. Both the president
and the secretary of state, it became
known yesterday, have made up their
minds definitely that this government
must have an understanding with Great
Britain with respect to the rights OF neu-
trails without further delay. While it is
true that as a result of the conduct of
Great Britain toward neutral shipping
there has been no loss of American lite,
the situation is into.erable. 1t is as
serted that the facts at hand show that
Great Britain has Haunted the rights
Of neutrals quite as much as Germany.
1t is recognized, however, that the two
cases are OF on the same basis for the
reasons that Great Britain has not
caused the death Of any American citi-
zen.

Makes Rugs from Angora Goats.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside contribor tells as follows
how she makes rugs from her angora
goats:
During late summer and early fall
we killed some of our half breed An
CORA goats. Their hides made lovely
rugs. This is how | prepare them:
Immediately after the hide is taken
from the animal it is carefully stretched
and tackled to a board surface to dry.
When it is dry | soak it in water until
soft then stretch, flesh side up, on
wide box and scrape all the ffesh from
it. Next rub with whites of eggs, then
with powdered alum and saltpeter.
Stretch and then tack up again Tor
twenty-four hours.
81 suppose any suitable hide could
be prepared for a rug in the same way"

They Have Certified Babies in Chicago

Following is an extract from the Au-
gust Woman's Home Companion telling
about certified babies in Chicago:
''In small western city a husband
and wife, childless, sought for and final
ly adopted, with great satisfaction a
brown-eyed boy and blue-eyed girl.
"The entrance OF the two children into
a home so long silent re-created the
man and woman. They blossomed again
in new youth, and for seven happy years
they gave to both boy and girl all that
any parents could give.
Then suddenly sorrow came. Some
hidden hereditary faint burst out in
both children, and for the succeeding
ten years the life of the man and won.
an was given over to persistent but
futile battle against fate. Too late
they discovered that the foundations of
the children--physical and mental--were
sand; there was nothing whatever to
build character on. So the whole emo
tional life of man and woman which
might have been used TO bless a normal
boy and girl, was thrown away because
the children were sub-normal.
"In Chicago, hereafter, such TRACE

OIL WELLS BREAK ALL RECORDS.
Output for 1914 Was Over 100000, 900
Barrels.

The production of petroleum in the
United States in 1914 aggregated $780,
3l2,535 barrels. OF this quantity $685.
762,535 barrels were either marketed or
were utilized directly in field develop
ment and 24,550,o00 barrels were placed
in producers field storage to meet fu-
ture requirements.
The following table shows in detail by
states and principal fields the distribu-
ton of the marketed production, includ-
ing fuel oil consumed in field operations
in 1914, to which has been added, for
purposes of comparison, the correspond
ing data for 1913. Producers storage,
particularly in Oklahoma and Califor-
mia, attained proportions so great and
exercised so marked an effect on the in
dustry during the year that the data on
the subject have been included as an in
dex to the market fluctuations of the
year.
These statistics, which differ as to to-
tai above-ground production by less than
per cent from the estimate made pub
lie by the survey Jan. /, are the result
of careful compilation of voluntary
records received from more than $4,000
producing, transporting and purchasing
companies engaged in handling petroleum
in the United States.
With reference to the marketed pro-
duction the final returns show an in
crease of l7,3l6,305 barrels, representing
an increase of nearly per cent over
the corresponding production in 1913.
The average price per barrel received
for this was S0.s06 in 1914 as compared
with S0.954 in 1918, and the total value
of the marketed oil was S2l4l25,2l5,
showing loss of S23,006,l73 in value
compared with the previous year.
No important changes were made in
The rank of the oil-producing states IN
1914, though the enormous output of
the prolific Gushing pool in Oklahoma
made that state strong contender for
first place, which was, however. retained |
by California by the fair margin of about /
100000 barrels. Wyoming showed the
greatest relative increase in oil produc.
ton during the year, exceeding It's rec.
ord output in 1918 by nearly as per cent, |
though failing to gain thereby rank |
above that attained in 1913, namely, |
ninth. The greatest relative decline took |
place in West Virginia, which recorded

TO RECOVER RELIEF FUNDS.
Americans Stranded in Europe at Out,
break Of War to Repay Money Lent.

preak OF war TO Repay Money Lent.
Washington. d. G., July 23.--Suits
are about to be brought by the govern
ment against American citizens who, al
though apparently able to do SO, refuse
to repay money expended for their relief
when they were stranded in Europe at
the outbreak of the war. Many of those
aided have reimbursed the government,
but Secretary McAdoo says there have
been a number of refusals and that he
will ask the department of justice to
institute suits.
A provision of the congressional reso-
luton appropriating funds to meet the
emergency last summer said:
American citizens to whom relief is
extended or transportation shall be fur
nished shall pay to or reimburse the
United States all reasonable expenses so
incurred respectively on their account, if
financially able to do So"
Treasury officials say that so far no
exact accounting has been made Of the
amount expended in relief work. Con-
gress appropriated S2,750,000, and it is
believed that more than 100000 was
used.

ON TRIAL.
Anarchists Charged in France with Pub
fishing Seditious Matter.

Paris, July 23.--The first day of the
trial before the permanent court martial
of four anarchists charged with the cir
culation of seditious matter was devoted
to an examination of the accused by the
Judge advocate, The eccentric million
aire, Prouvoit, is charged exploited with
furnishing postage for mailing seditious
matter and with taking an active part
in an anarchist propaganda. Nine. Don.
nader is accused of posting the letters.
The three seditious pamphlets which
figure in the case are said to have been
written by the defendant, Hureau, who
admitted intimacy with anarchist lead
ers but denied the specific charge pre-
ferred against him.
The sessions of the court martial are
continuing to-day.

100000 MEN
IN BATTLE
Fight Raging on Sixty-Mile
Front at Gorilla Is
Crucial
POLA HANGS
IN THE BALANCE
Carso Plateau Key to Whole
Istrian PENN
sula

London, July 23-The general attack
which started on Sunday on the Isonzo
front is developing favorably to the
Italians, according to the Italian war
Office The approaches to Gorilla have
been taken. Artillery fire and bayonet
charges are carrying the invaders on
toward Trieste.
The Italians are in hard fight re-
curing tremendous sacrifices. Fully
| 100000 men are engaged on the sixty
mile front. The defenders have at least
100000 troops, and with all the adyan-
tages of position the Austrian eomman-
ders are clamoring for requirements. 1t
is estimated that the invaders must
number 100000.
According to the Rome correspondent
of the Times, the main Italian thrust
is directed toward that part of the Car
so plateau between Monfalcone and
Gorilla. The capture of Monfalcone
bent back the Austrian left, and the
Italians are now pressing the attack
from the sides, Monfalcone and Sagrado.
The two keys to the possession OF the
Carso plateau are Monte San Michele
and Doberdo. The occupation of the
plateau by the Italians means the fall
OF Gorilla and this in turn will enable
the Italians to cut off the Istrian penin-
sula and the Austrian feet at Pola by
land and sea. At present the Austrians
still hold the heights at Podgora and
Monte Sabatino. The strong defences
here make heavy frontal attack upon
Gorilla impracticable.
The fight for the plateau is over a
rugged terrain, the long depressions and
gashes in the earth forming admirable
cover for the Austrian infantry.
Further south in the direction OF Mon
falcone the country is level, but the
Austrians have constructed line upon
line of trenches protected by intricate
barb wire entanglements and clusters
Of machine guns. The Italians have al
ready backed and blasted their way into |
the outer position, which they hold
against counter attacks.
The official statement from Rome says
that while the Italian defence contin-
les to develop theoretically in Galore,
Ind the artillery is effectively working
N Carnia, the lsonzo struggle increases
n intensity
Towards Gorilla, the report says, the
Italians gained part Of the line of the
ieights on the right bank OF the river
the town and the bridges.
On the Carso plateau the Austrians
nave been driven from some OF the
renches. In three days fighting, &C.
ording to Rome, the Italians made pris-
'ners of seventy-six officers and 3,400
men.
Austrian official report says the Ital-
ans succeeded in capturing Monte San
east of Sdraussina, but Ma
or General Goog reconquered the po-
ition with troops that had been held
n reserve.
Vienna says the Austrians maintain
heir positions southeast OF Sdraussina
