PLANS FOR FINANCING WAR
Part Army and Navy Will Take in
Conflict Is Arranged-Brazil
to Be Big Aid to the
United States.

Washington, May 9.-The work OF
the Anglo French mission to this coun-
try is completed. Only details re-
main to be worked out. The big prob
lens have been solved. Already ar
rangements are being made for the
return home of the distinguished visi-
tors.
Among the things accomplished
which may be made public are the fol-
lowing:
A complete comprehensive plan for
financing the entente has been ar
ranged. Under it all OF Germany S
enemies will have their credit in the
United States so bolstered up that an
uninterrupted supply of war material
and food will go forward.
Arrangements made whereby Great
| Britain will throw into the trans-At-
\ lantic trade their reserve shipping,
| depending on the United States to
make up the deficiency that is sure to
| come from the continued successes or
| the German Uboats.
Plans completed for sending Amerl-
can troops to France and especially
for sending trained men to handle all
| TRANSPORTATION behind the lines, thus
solving the greatest problem affect
ing the British and French command
| ers-in-chief.
Plans completed for the part the
United States navy is to play in the
developments of the coming summer.
In this connection it is admitted that
! Brazil will give great assistance by
opening her harbors to American and
entente warships, by placing her CHIEF
| warships under the direction OF the
United States, by furnishing mer'
chant shipping for the transatlantic
| trade.
Tentative plans made so that the
United States will take over dlstrlbu
ton of foodstuffs to the entente.
In addition, the visit Of the two
commissions has done much to SOLID
ity the war sentiment in the United
States. The commissioners have MADE
it plain that there still is much to be
done and that the United States VIII
have to play a big nation" part IN
the struggle.
A great deal that has been accom-
plished by the missions cannot be
bmade public at this time. The plans
will work out, but until they have
they must be concealed.
The British mission will leave here
the latter part of the week and viii
ioin the French mission to receive
the official welcome of New 4orE
City on Friday. After that the ques
ton of returning home will be speed
ily settled. Meanwhile the Italian

tracts Large Crowd-Origin
Unknown.

A fire in the rear of the Model Meat
Market, near the corner of Broadway
and Main street, attracted u large
crowd late last night. Many were re-
turning from the theater, when the
fire was discovered, and stopped to
watch the work of the firemen.
The blaze was confined to the rear
of the butcher shop, which is conduct
ed by George Hanah. The origin of
the fire could not be learned, but it is
believed that it was caused by spon-
,aneous combustion.
Owing to the heavy smoke issuing
from the building the firemen had
great difficulty in locating the fire. The
stock in the butcher shop, together
with the fixtures of the meat market
and the adjoining store, which was be-
ing remodeled for a restaurant, were
badly damaged by the smoke ant
water.
Three families living on the secOnC
floor of the building were driven out
into the street. The second floor is oc-
cupied by the families of George HUI
Wy, George Head and Roy Willard. The
household effects Of the occupant,
were slightly damaged by the smoke
The fire was discovered by Milk
Minton and Guf Sneed. who happened
to pass the store. They telephOneC
the firemen who responded in shor
time. The amount of the damage
caused by the fire and water could no
be learned.

Officials-RailrOad Attorney
Gets Busy.

Notice of the filing of the suits
against the Frisco Railroad Thursday
afternoon by the city and the Cape
Girardeau Portland Cement CO., was
served yesterday on the officials of the
railroad in the city who. in turn, mott
fed the legal department of the Frisco

notice was served by Sheriff HutSCn

is in charge of the local station.
A. P. Stewart, general attorney for
the railroad, arrived here from st.
Louis when he learned that the suits
against the railroad had been filed.
He called at the office of D. A Nichols,
clerk of the Common Pleas Court, in
which the suits were filed, to famil
iarize himself with the contents of the
petition, which was filed by City Coun
selor knehans for the city and by Geo.
b. Webster of st. Louis for the cement
company.
City officials are now confident that
the railroad will soon take some action
in regard to the Cape Girardeau fran
chise. which has failed to receive rec

of the suit is to Dust the rail-
road from the city and ask the court
for damages for the failure of the rail-

CONFEREES MAY
REVISE FOOD BILL
TO SUIT WILSON
Chances Said to Favor the
Striking Out of War
Committee


Washington, July 31.-The con-
terees on the administration food bill
failed at their first session to-day to
break their deadlock on the congress
sional war expenditures committee,
opposed by President Wilson. and re-
cessed until later to-day with a mo-
tion to strike out the provision still
pending.
Some of the conferees said it ap-
peared virtually certain that the Sem
ate members would yield on the p, %
vision and reach a complete agree
ment on the bill for a report to the
House tomorrow. The recess was
taken to enable the conferees to con-
fer with Senate and House leaders
and learn If the Senate would reject
the conference report should the pro-
vision be eliminated.
The conferees to-day struck out a
provision authorizing the government
to commander gas pipe lines for oil
or public defense purposes. The clause
empowering the President to COM
mandeer oil pipe lines. however. was
retained.
The new provision for a wheat
priceixing board of three members
inserted subject to reconsideration,
was left Unchanged.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white
makes a whole quarter pint of the
most remarkable lemon skin beau
tifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary
cold creams. Care should be taken
to strain the lemon juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is simply marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands.-Adv.

The meeting last night was called
for the purpose of voting on wheth-

discussion, in which Mr.. Bowman,
David E. Tracy, president of the

and city officials participated, 1T was
voted to abandon the afternoon
aquatic sports because of the great
expense, and because practically all

the question OF the night parade and
unanimously agreed to furnish some
sort of entertainment for the river
enthusiasts and the residents of the
city which would be a popular move.

Dealers Advised Not
to Use Public Scales

Harry D. Reel, city inspector of
weights and measures. issued a worm
ing to-day against produce dealers in
local markets. advising them not to
use the public scales there to sell
commodities.
Frequently I have found that deal
ers are using the city's public scales,
put there for the convenience of con-
sumers. One farmer told me he did
so because 1t saved him the bother
of bringing his own scale. The prac-
tice must stop and prosecutions may
follow. The scales in the city mar
kets are put there so that the house
wives making purchases can see that
they have received full weight. We
are not furnishing dealers with part
of the equipment they need to con-
duct their business"
