Liberty Bonds Going Good.

Finn LaWler, president Of the Far

forms us this morning, that that
institution has placed Liberty Bonds
among it's customers to the amount
of Sl3, 900. For people who can af-.
ford them Liberty Bonds are the best
kind of an Investment. The only
trouble is that due TO the rivalry
among cities and their business con-
Germs, many will be practically forced
into buying what they cannot afford.
In smaller places where more con
seryatism rules, this feature is happi-
ly absent.

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly, masticate your food thoroughly,
abstain from meat for a few days and in most
cases the sour stomach will disappear. If it
does not, take one of Chamberlains Tablets
Immediately after supper. Red meats are most
likely to cause sour stomach and you may find
it best to cut them out.

Needs Half-BilliOn.

Washington, Aug. II. Another half-billion appropriation for ship building vii be asked of congress next week by the shipping board. Con- tracts already let. it was said tonight, have absorbed all of the $500, OO,OO0 given the board in the war budget bill passed in June.
 An additional $25O,OOO,O0O appro- priated at that time will be used in communicating ships.
 The emergency fleet corporation approved contracts today for about 50 ships, steel and wood, with total displacement of about 100000 tons. The cost will be $25 5,OO0,000. These contracts were passed by Mai. Gen. Goethals, formerly manager of the corporation, but never were signed by Chairman Denman of the shipping board, who resigned the day they reached his desk.
 Builders of these vessels announced they would organize national organi- zation with offices here and would seek to enroll all builders. The pur- pose is to provide central agency to represent builders before the fleet corporation and thus obviate necessity of individuals coming to Washington.
 B. w. Morris of the Groton Iron Works of Grotcn, Conn.,, will be made president, and E. A. Collins of Wash- ington, vice president.

NICnOLA AS' SPIES
 ARE GIVEN BLAME
 FOR RUSS DEFEAT
Colonel Kolotkoff Tells the Workmen's Council How
 Troubles Originated.

Petrograd, Aug. 11.-Causes of the Russian debacle against the Germans and Austrians are set forth in a re- markable report by Colonel Kolotkoff to the Council of Workmen's and Sol diers' deputies. The responsibility is placed on the activity of former po- licemen, gen d'arlnes and spies of Elm peror Nicholas, who after being de- prived of their livelihood, were sent to the front.
 Until the end of June, says Colonel Kolotkoff, the soldiers on the west front were in excellent fighting trim. Technically and as regards supplies, the army was beyond criticism. There was an admirably completed plan to advance, which probably would have led to the reconquest of Wilma. But the police, gen'darmes and spies of the autocracy consciously started an anti-patriotic campaign, the first de- sign of which was dissolution of the army.
 Portions of a new Ukraine regiment while passing through Klev today in a train on the way to the front opened fire on the cuirassers guarding the station. The cuirassers fired back and a battle began in which soldiers on both sides were killed or wounded. When the Ukrainians reached Nov grad -Volynsk an entire regiment of cuirassers was sent against the mu- tinous train and fresh battle begun. On the cuirassers bringing up ma chine guns the mutineers surrendered. Fourteen dead were taken back to Kiev. About 50 men were wounded.
