PRESIDENT WILSON REQUESTS DENMAN
 TO RESIGN FROM
 SHIPPING BOARD
tcontinued from Page one)


 Mr. Wilson apparently became con- vinced, however, that Denman and Goethals never could work in harmony and that both in measure were to be blamed for the delay to the shipbuild- ing programme
 Virtually from the start of the trou- ble. it became known tonight, MT. Dem man did not have the full support of the board for his wooden ship pro- gramme. MT Donald and MT. Stevens consistently supported General Goe- thals, but MT. Brent and Captain White stood with the chairman.
 CAUSE OF SPLIT
 General Goethals announcement of this programme furnished the cause for a definite split between him and MT. Dem man. Much of the Goethals plan was the original programme proposed by the shipping board but Mir Denman is said to have resented the fact that the gen eral is making 1t public, declared he would proceed without consulting the beard.
 The Presidents order conferring the powers given by Congress authorized the board to operate ships and the corpora tion to build them. General Goethals, Wilson, which declared he would not be hampered, took the order to mean he would have a free hand. MT. Denman with letter from the President, which he thought charged the shipping board

Rivaling the tremendous sweep with I which it spread over the entire United sEstates, the fame of the celebrated med \ icine, Tanlac, is growing in Canada by 1lieaps and bounds since it's introduc- 8Itioi' there few weeks ago. Hundreds HOT the best known and most highly re- Slspected citizens, of the provinces of sICanada are now taking Taalac and tes- astffying daily to the remarkable Lene- zshts they are obtaining from it's use. Il Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, inspector of zHmunitions for the Canadian govern SEiient. residing on Harding avenue, MWeston, Toronto, Ontario. and who has Nlived in Toronto for 2 years, made 1.-the following interesting statement re- 5lgarding the great benefit she received VIfrom taking Tanlac:
 since the early part of last win &fer I have been troubled with catarrlh. T EMy nasal passages were raw and stopped 4pp, my throat was dry and I had dull &Fhrobbing headaches which kept me &hwake for hours many a night. l was felso troubled with indigestion. Nothing MF ate agreed with me, and I got so Ehervous that I would trelnble at the #Ecast unusual sound.
 # 'l have now taken two bottles of z anlac and my improvement has been HFonderful. The catarrh is gradually i& Fisdppearing, my head is clearer, and 0I don't have those awful headaches like did. The trembling spells are thing Mpf the past and my nerves are as M tteady as a rock. My appetita has inn 8 proved greatly and haven't sign of T Xhdigestion any more. My husband is # delighted over my improvement and is

 Russia's views will be presented by the charge d'affaires, M. zvastopoulo. The Rumanian and Greek ministers will represent their governments.
 The invitations to the conference were sent out by the British government. Among them was one to the United States accompanied by the explanation that it would be small conference to consider specific objects and stating that as the United States had no troops in the Balkans it would perhaps not care to participate, although it's representa- tives would be welcomed. Washington repled that it did not wish to take part
 A conference of naval authorities also will be held. Vice Admiral Sims, com mander of the American naval forces in the war zone, has arrived for this meet ing. Great Britain will be represented by Admiral Jellicoe, first sea lord; France by Rear Admiral Lacaze, ma- rine minister, and Italy by Vice Admiral Thaon Di Revel, former chief of the naval staff

BALKANS PREPARING PROTEST

Washington, July 24.-Servia and Ru- mama are preparing to protest against the present plan of the allies of allowing them only consultative powers at the forthcoming general conference in Paris on the Balkan situation. They will in- sist vigorously, 1t was learned here to- day on being admitted as full members, especially since the subject discussed is so vital to them.
 Greece also has been invited to attend in consultative status but has not yet indicated her attitude The United States declined sometime ago to take part. because officials did not deem the questions under discussion of immediate interest to this country. France, Italy, Russia and England are the four main powers moving for the conference, and it is understood there is some difference of opinion even among them, with Russia opposing the recent allies policy in Greece as inconsistent with her revolu- tionary policies.
 Just what details will be taken up is uncertain, but it is understood here the conference will discuss the feasibility of an allied advance on the Macedonian front

 A long line of speakers from the south urged liberal construction of the laws requirements as to proof of age of children employed and as lv computation of hours of employment. Some of the mill men criticized the form of age certificate as unneces- sarily bulky. others contended that it would be difficult in very many cases to accurately establish the age and other suggestions were made with a view to simplifying the regulatory pro- visions.
