M nhattan Shirt Sale

l was robbing my family of money that should be spent for their use. And yet l cannot say it ever made any perceptible difference in our financial affairs. My salary is small and it seemed that some thing always came up to take our last cent before another pay day came. My departure in high finance continued for some months, and strange to say, never believed it amounted to enough to war rant an investigation.
 "I was called home hurriedly short time ago, owing to the sudden sickness of my wife. The doctor who was called said she was suffering from an acute attack of appendicitis, and that an inn mediate operation was necessary. After the operation and my wife's recovery called upon the doctor in relation to my bill and what he told me was surely a staggering sum to man of my means. think he had some knowledge of my condition, however, for he said, If you will pay me $50 in less than 10 days. receipt your bill. If not, you can pay me so much a month until you pay me the amount I am allowed for such service.

Folly of Economic Boycott

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslie's.
 Representatives of the allies at the Paris conference formualted a bold plan to boycott the central powers at the close of the war. but it Is by no means cer- tain it will be accepted by the allies Even that section of the British press which was strongest in the support of Australian Premier Hughes plea for inn mediate action by the British government. is silent. Declaring the purpose of the allies to be the destruction of miltarism the Manchester Guardian argues that an economic boycott would be justified only on the supposition that Germany was not convinced of the wrong of miltarism and after this war set out to prepare for another If Germany uses her commer- cialism as the catspaw of her miltarism.' says the Guardian 'then we must fight her commercialsm, for the whole spawn of miltarism is poisoned with the evil of it's origin. This paper concludes that the proposals of boycott are an acknowl- edgment by the allies of their defeat in the main object of the war. In a remark amle address on Germany's economic fu- ture delivered before the Association for Fostering German economic interest abroad, Professor Jastrow of Berlin uni versity, secuted the idea of boycott by the allies, declaring that we should use our military supremacy to influence the development or lnterHaIloHdl coIHIHcrco to our benefit" Professor Jastrow says that after the war there will be such a demand for raw materials that one fill take them wherever obtainable, and coun- sells the German nation that the way to regain it's place in world commerce, in the international exchanbe of raw ma terials and finished products is for the people to work more and consume less. Prince Won Bulow, former German chan cellor, in his new book, German Poli- cies," takes note of the bitter hatred of France. England and Russia which Ger many will have to face after the war, and advises the cultivation of friendly re- lations with all neutrals.

DEMOCRATS WILL
 LAUNCH CAMPA|G AFTER SEPTEMBER |
This Date Is Agreed on Re gardless of Whether Congress Adjourns by
 That Time

Washington, August IA decision to
 launch the democratic national campaign
 soon after September 1, regardless of
 whether Congress is still in session then, was reached at a conference today be- tween President Wilson Chairman Me- Cormick of the democratic national com
 mittee and Homer S. Cummings, the com
 mittee's vice chairman.
 While no date was set for the notifi- cation ceremonies, Chairman Mccormick said that if Congress remained in ses- sion after September l. the notification
 might take place before adjournment. Under such circumstances the President would go to Shadow Lawn, N. J.. for the occasion and return immediately aft
 erward to Washington
 Invitations for the President to speak in various parts of the country were considered at the conference. Mr. Wilson will make no definite engagements, until a date for the adjournment of Congress is agreed on. He already has promised to go to Hodgensville, Ky, Septemper 4, to speak at Lincoln memorial exercises, and has made tentative engagement to visit St. Louis September 19 20, or 21, to address an organization of under writers. The Hodgensvlle speech, how ever, will be nonpolitical in character. Chairman Mccormick said he planned to have the democratic campaign in full swing by September 15.
 It was definitely determined that the
 President would not speak in Maine, where the election comes September Il, but he probably will write letters and in other ways take part in the campaign. William J. Bryan, MT. Cummings said, probably cannot take part in the Maine
 campaign, but will make many speeches later.
 An active campaign will be carried on by the democrats in more states this year than ever before, the two leaders said. No states will be conceded to the republi- cans. The democratic organizations in
 republican strongholds are being strength ened.
 Selection of the democratic campaign
 committee has been almost completed, Mir.
 Mccormick announced, and it's personnel
 will be announced within a few days.
 Plans for winning the women voters
 will be pushed actively, according to MT.
 Mccormick, in spite of the announcement
 of Charles E. Hughes, that he favors a
 federal suffrage amendment A woman s
 bureau at the New York headquarters
 will be organized soon.

Work of English Aviators Surpass Widest Flights of
 The Imagination of Man

With the British Armies in France, August 7.-(Via London.)-The aviators felt the concussion 5000 feet in the air when a brigade of British aeroplanes bonbarded Henin Lietard, northeast of Arras, with a shower of 112-pound bombs.
 When the German sheds and storehouse at Martinpuuch were fired by incendiary bombs a vast pillar of smoke from the conflagration rose to height of 5000 feet.
 The work of the British aviators re- gently has surpassed the widest flights of imagination. Aerial flights which at tract sensational attention are only an incident of the offensive campaign. Over whelming numbers of planes are concern trated on the narrow front of the Somme battle in coordination with a superior, unceasng volume of gunfire. rne planes move in larger and larger flotillas and there have been cases with a dozen en- gagged in battle on either side.

 Two electric flash lamps wrapped in a casing impervious to water can be at tached to any one of the several types of life-preservers and be made to light a person in the water a night and thus facilitate rescue.
 A machine has been invented which irons skirts, making it possible for the housewife to send nearly everything to the laundry now-eXcept her new spring hat.
 An air-tight compartment for canoe campers affords a storage place for food and sufficient equipment for a small camping trip in the forward end of the canoe. If the canoe upsets the air-tight compartment keeps it afloat.

The German first line and second line trenches, headquarters, billets and supply depots of all kinds have been bomped, the aerial offensive being limited only by the number of planes and the supply of bombs. Not a village occupied by the Germans in the neighborhood of the front that has not had it's aerial bombardment, according to accounts. Barges and motor trucks have been set on fire, one moving train was blown up.
 The dry official accounts of the avia- tion corps and their aviators' jargon re- veal a number of amazing feats every day. A pilot describes an average ex- perience thus:
 'I first attacked a Roland, but find ing Fokker behind, turned and maneu- vered under his tail. He fired one drum at very close range, and the Fokker nose-dived and went down with a spin.
 If it had gone down direct, it would have been a ''crasher.''

WILL MAKE FINAL PLANS FOR MEXICAN
 JOINT COMMISSION
Cabinet to Go Over Situa- tion Looking to Naming
 American Members

Washington August 7.-Final plans for convening a joint commission to con- slider existing differences with Mexico rows cabinet meeting, and selection of the American commissioners and the time and place of meeting may be made within few days.
 President Wilson did not discuss the question with officials in direct charge of the negotiations today. It is under stood he is studying carefully General Carranza's latest note announcing ap- pointment of the Mexican commissioners The reply which will notify the Mexi- can government of the final arrangements for the conference is expected to suggest again that the scope of subjects to be discussed be broadened to include ques- tions not specifically mentioned thus far in the negotiations.
 Mexico City. August 7-Foreign Minis ter Aguilar tonight indicated that it was the purpose of General Carranza to re- main in charge of the executive power of the republic until after elections are held and he is able to hand over the reins of government to a legally elected President The minister added that Gen. eral Carranza would run for President if public opinion demanded that he do so. He pointed out, however, that any positive action in this matter would be taken in the distant future, as it was necessary first to hold municipal elec- tions and then elections for Congress and that complete state of peace must exist before a presidential election could be held
 General Aguilar expressed the belief that General Carranza would not cali Gen. Pablo Gonzales to the cabinet at this time, but that General Gonzales would return to the state of Morelos to finish the campaign against the followers of Zapata.
