FOURTEEN DIE IN AIRSHIP

French Acronauts Killed When Am-
 munition Explodes As Craft Is Shot
 Down by Germans. Berlin, Feb. 26. via London.-Four- teen men were killed by the destruc- tion of the French airship reported in yesterdays official communication to have been brought down by the German defensive fire. Additional details regarding this incident were given out here officially today as fol- lows:
 'The French airship brought down on Friday night was set ablaze by our anti-air craft fire. It fell in flames near Weelferdingen west of Saarga. mund Gin Lorraine.) When it landed the ammunition which it carried ex- ploded. The crew, consisting of 14 men, were killed. The damage to the airship does not prevent ascer- taining the details of its construc- tion.'

with eczema, ring worm, rashes and similar itching, burn ing skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists get a jar of i resinol ointment and 8 cake of resinol soap.
New Britain herald., 1917-02-26

These are not at all expensive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with light bandage-if nee. essary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon be- comes clear and healthy again.

The Beautiful PagOdas.

l two hairs from the head of Buddha hlmself It crowns the summit of 8 slight eminence and we'll deserves to be called "A pyramid of fire" to use
 the words of Sir Edwin Arnold. One climbs the ascent to the pagoda by covered stairway. Exquisite carv- ings in brittle lockwood adorn the roof, while the whole structure of the ascent is beautifully covered with vermillion and gold. On either side | of the stone steps sit rows of beg gars, many of whom are hideous with running sores and leprous afflictions. At the several terraces tiny shops ex- pose paper flags, tapers, incense 1 sticks and other articles to be used l in worship at the shrines on the sum- init. There are also sweetmeats and l toys to attract the youthful worshIp- ,pers. Amid such scenes the visitor 1 climbs the ascent to this greatest ! shrine of Buddhism in Burma.
 At the summit of the hill the vis- 1 itor comes upon a broad open space
 of several acres in the center of
 which towers the pagoda itself. Above | the murmur of the crowd of worship : l pers and the sounds of the traffick- l CTS in the booths comes to our ears i the soft tinkling of the bells which 1 hang responsive to the breezes on the 1 tip of the spire three hundred and ] seventy feet in the air. Once and
 again deep sweet boom swells the
 sound of worship as a devout Budd- | hist picking up the deer antlers which lie at hand strikes one of the huge bells, which are rung in order to l call the attention of the spirits to the. fact that prayer is about to be 1 offered to them. Shrines. large and
 small everywhere claim their devo- tees of one race or another, who bow
 before the images of Buddha. All l these figures are of conventional design. There is the immobile face 1 with features which speak of calm
 ness in tho soul. The legs are crossed in the case of the seated figures, and the divinity Is revealed in
 the fact that the soles of the feet are
 uppermost. If you do not believe that
 this is a proof of divinity. try to squat
 down on the floor tonight with your
 legs crossed in such fashion that the
 soles shall be uppermost: Your at
 tempt to accomplish this feat will l probably result in language, which
 will before ever you get one foot into
 position disaualify you from holy
 company The fingers and toes of a
 divinity must also, be of equal length

HEAVILY GUARDED

Philadelphia, Feb. 6-The tension
created here by the crisis between the
United States and Germany has re-
suited in a strengthening and tighten
ing Of guard lines about all govern
ment property and privately owned
munition plants.
Plants of tremendous military i'm.
portance are located in and near this
city, including the Frankford and
Schuylkill arsenals and the big arma-
ment plants that are turning out thou
sands Of tons of war waterfalls.
All of these places are under heavy
guard. Government agents are comb
ing the lists Of employees at munition
plants to eliminate "undesirables."
City policemen, both in uniform and
in civilian clothes, are on duty at the
postoffice, the customs house, the
Quartermaster's depot and the two
government arsenals.

sround the German liners Rhaetia and

PROMPT ACTION
IS LOOKED FOR
-Four Other Neutra|s May Break
With Germany.
MAY TAKE STERN MEASURES

Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Chile Are
Expected to Follow Example Of the
United States Owing to seriIn's
Submarine Policy.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Spain, Brazil
Argentina and Chile are expected to
follow the example Of the United
States in breaking relations with
Germany.
Spain has opened conversations"
with other neutral nations, it was
learned. No government has yet in
formed the United States officially
what its action will be, but all indica-
lions point to prompt action by the
four neutrals named.
The A-B.C powers, Argentine. Bra
I'll and Chile, have drawn up q pro-
test against the U-boat decree. This
note is described as firm, while unoffi-
cial messages say sterner measures
are contemplated If the protest fails
to preserve the rights of South Amer
leans.
There are intimations Of thoughts
Of a conference of neutrals to reach
an agreement on what neutrals may
ask when the time comes.
1t is known that this suggestion is
being pressed by at least one Of the
European neutrals, which has been
among the chief sufferers from the
war, and it is believed that President
Wilson has regarded it with favor. 1t
is realized, however, that the idea is
still in nebulous form.
Universal Military Training.
Indications now point to the passage
of legislation by congress within
short time of some form of universal
military training. Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the senate commit
tee on military affairs, has requested
the war department to formulate bill
for this purpose and it is expected
that it will be drafted and introduced
within the week.
Not since the Civil war has the fed
eral government been 80 active as
within the past few days. The public
buildings are illuminated at night and

All German Officials to Sail From New
York,

Washington, Feb. 6.-The whole
corps of German officials in the Unit
ed States, including Count and Count
ess Won Bernstorff, the embassy suite
and consuls from all parts of the
country, will sail from New York on
Feb. II for Germany.
Reservations for more than 200 per
sons have been engaged on the big
Scandinavian liner Frederick VIII,
leaving New York Feb. II for Chris
tiania.
Meanwhile former German consuls
throughout the country, having turn
ed their consulates over to caretakers
to be reopened eventually under the
direction Of Swiss officials, will start
for New York in time to be on hand
when the ship goes out.

the employees are working overtime.
This is practically true of the state,
war and navy departments, all three
being housed in the same building.
Fleet movements are now secret,
! but it is known that large harbors are
being carefully guarded and plans for
naval concentration have been for
mulated.
President Wilson is determined that
!, merit a reproach, even from Germany
herself, unless some overt act Of the
Berlin government shall make war in
evitable.
Nothing Is to be done which is not
fully justified by the laws of nations
and humanity; nothing is to be done
which is not legal and just
Wilson Hopes for Peace.
With a hope for peace, and a readi-
ness to meet If it must be, the presi-
dent has made it clear to all his off,
Gals that the course of the United
States, difficult as it is, must be en-
tirely beyond criticism.
To that end German rights and
property in the United States are to
have full protection Of law and the
president wishes every American citi.
zen to forbear from any thought or
act which might lead his country near
or to war;
Hope that Germany might at the
last moment modify her declaration Of
unrestricted submarine warfare was
almost dissipated by the news dis
patches from Berlin which gave the
word Of high German officials that
there would be no turning back. Amer
lean ofIicials now only await an actual
demonstration of how the new decree
will affect American rights.
Meanwhile, Austria's case still is
undetermined. While 1t is known that
the dual monarchy has officially ad.
hered to Germany's declaration, as it
now stands before the state depart
msnt, her announced intentions are
somewhat different from Germany's,
but it is doubtful If there can be 81
real distinction. SD.

Philadelphia, Feb. GA squad OF
