northern Europe under the leadership
of Russia formed a league and used
1t to protect its commerce in the wars
between England and France, and
France and Spain.
Although the president, when he
severed diplomatic relations with Ger
many. invited other neutrals to follow
his lead, he has not. SO far as Ia
known. suggested that neutrals join
the United States in the armed neu-

ernments, however, have been official
~ advised of his address to congress
today and official copies have been
delivered to their diplomats here. BY
wireless the text was sent to Berlin.

Elbows.


Everybody has elbows and especially
famous people so that occasionally they
can rub them with the masses. The ell
bow is Il symbol of democracy and if
people hadn't discovered how to rub
them we might still be living in an
age of fuedalism. The elbow is very
useful and some people who haven't
a brain in their heads elbow their way
through life and don't seem to mind
the difference. Science has frequently
been asked what people would have
done if they had no elbows and has ex-
planned the battling question in this
Way-they would probably have some-
thing else just like them. The elbow is
a valuable organ, or member, and if
you have an arm to cut off YOU will
need an elbow on it SO that the arm
con be cut off either above or below the
elbow Elbows are of all sorts, such as
ragged wrinkly, shiny and rheumatic
Elbows are well enough in their way.

Her Hat.

Are fashioned with n pretty grace
And fitted all together
And made a thing so fair to see
That one observes with wonder
Its loveliness-Or can 1t be
The eyes that gaze from under?
Though planned with every dainty art,
A simple little bonnet,
How can it hope to win the heart,
Whatever be upon it
The loveliness it seems to own,
No furs or lace bestow it;
No other thing than this alone
The lovely face below it!

London, rep. 26.-lnefc was scene
of great enthusiasm in the house of
commons today, when Andrew Bonar

nounced the result of Great Britain's
third war loan. which is by far the
greatest voluntary contribution by the
people of any belligerent nation.
More than G1,O0O,000. 900 of new
money, with more than 100000 sub
scrbers are the stupendous figures
which the chancellor of the exchequcr
confessed he would have thought it
impossible to raise only few days
ago.
The loan has resulted in striking
victory for the government over the
professional financiers, since bankers
had advised the treasury department
that it could not be floated at less
time declared that he preferred to risk
failure in an attempt at per cent
loan rather than to place 6 per cent
as the standard of the nations credit.
| The chancellor's highest expectations
had been for G600,000,0OO of new
money.
! The total of new money includes
the conversion of nearly G31.000 600
short term treasury bills and there is
difference of opinion whether they
should be regarded as such. some fl
nanciers taking the negative ground
that they represent money, which the
government already has spent.

Instead of going to a bath house
Scaldary preferred a swim such as ho
enjoyed in his school days, so he hung
his clothes, wallet. jewelry and all on n

When he emerged from the water every
thing he possessed was gone and he was
compelled to hide in the bushes until

COOL OFF FOR SMOKES.
Take in Beneat at CastIes-by-Sea,
Long Beach.

THE SUN's Tobacco Fund for our Sol
diers in the trenches made gratifying
progress last week and even greater
days. The pleasure and comfort which
the shipments have carried to the boys
in the front, as told In cable dispatches,
is stimulating friends OF the movement
to renewed devotion to the cause. and
tho enthusiasm is destined to Increase
as reenforcements are sent TO the regi-
ments of Yankees on the other side of
the water.
Ono of the benefit entertainments this
week will take place Friday, the gala
night at Castles by the Sea. Long
Beach, L. I. The plans carefully made
by Joseph PAM. the manager, appeal
especially to persons who find pleasure
in motor drives these warm summer
evenings. There Is hardly a greater
pleasure than to dine or to dance where
one may be refreshed by the ocean
breezes.
Women popular on the New York
stage are going to distribute souvenirs
to the guests at Castles by the Sea Fri
day night and as every penny which re-
cipients give in return for the gifts is
to go TO the smoke fund generous

to these times, when ones patriotism Is
stirred to its highest pitch. On Thurs
day night of next week Mr.. Pani will
repeat these special attractions at
Woodmansten Inn, also for the benefit
OF the fund.
Club TO support Fund.
The Nassau American Club, Inc, Of
Brooklyn has Joined the army OF re-
cruits who are doing their part to make
Sammy's life more endurable. A letter
from the executive committee says:
"At time like this every good Amer
ican citizen should do his or her little
bit and the Nassau American Club, Inc,
will not be found wanting. Some Of our
members have already enlisted and
others have been drafted in the army
and In Justice to them as we'll as to
thousands OF loyal Americans who have
rushed to the defence of their country
in running our annual reception and
ball on October 20 we will do our share
toward supplying our defenders with
smokes. We offer you 10 per cent OF
the receipts at the box office for the
smoke fund"
The New Rochelle Yacht Club helped
the fund generously at a fete in its
club house on Harrison Island Saturday
evening. A number OF stage stars con-
trlbuted their services and a party of
officers from Fort Slocum gave the af-
fair a military flavor. Among those who
worked to make the benefit success
were Vice Commodore Martin, Col. w.
B. Blaclman, Charles Bellows, DR.. A. II.
Sutherland, George Porter, N. @. Man
ming, Harold c, Burney, II. Leaycroft

Do you realize what a notable and
beneficial part tobacco has played In
the wars of the last century, from the
battle of Waterloo, say, to the great
conflict now raging? Probably Its
solacing and inspiring qualities were
never more strongly manifested than In
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. II
might be said, indeed. that the defeat
inflicted on the French was due largely
to the soldiers lack OF tobacco, added,
as It was, TO the breakdown of the com
missariat, whereas on the other side the
Germans did all they could to insure a
plentiful supply to their troops. An as
sociation headed by the Empress raised
tobacco subscriptions in every town 10

He related how the pay sergeant OF
one company smoked his cigar while the
doctor cut the bullet out of his back, and
again how a MANNED soldier lying upon
the battle field with the dead and dying
round him asked for but one relief-a
cigarette. And thus 1t has been IN every
war.
The shattered on the field of battle ory
