tomary" spectacular features.

THE KINGS
ADDRESS.
Following is the kings speech:
My Lords and Gentlemen: The
necessities Of war render it imperative
for me, after but brief interval to
summon you again to your delibera-
tions. The aims for which 1 and my
allies are contending were recently
set forth by my government in a state
ment which received the emphatic ap-
7proval of my peoples throughout the
empire and provided fair basis for
settlement of the present struggle and
establishment Of national rights
aud International peace in the future.
N'The German government has,
however. ignored our just demands
that it should make restitution for tMa
wrongs it has committed arrtl- Fur sasst :
guarantees against their unprovoked
repetition Its spokesmen refuse any
obligations for themselves, while
denying rightful liberties of others.
Until recognition is offered of the
only principles on which an honorable
peace can be concluded it is our duty
to prosecute the war with all the
vigor we possess"
FULL CONFIDENCE
lN,'THE ARMIES.
+.'I have full confidence that my
forces in the field, in close co-opera-
tion with those OF my faithful allies,
will continue to display the same
heroic courage and my people at
tcn,e the same unseltish devotion
that have already frustrated SO many
VI Che enemy's designs and Will en-
sure the ultimate triumph of the
righteous cause.
IT have summoned representatives
of my dominions and my Indian em-
Dire to Il further session of the 1Hi-
perial war cabinet in order that i may
again receive their advice on ques'
tions of moment affecting the com
mon interests of the empire.
Gentlemen of the house OF com
mons, you will be asked to make
suitable provisions for the require.
ments of the cambatant services and
for the stability of our national fl
nance. y
"My lords and gentlemen. the
struggle in which we are engaged hat
reached a critical stage which de-
mands more than ever our united en-
ergies and resources. confidently
commend to your patriotism the
measures which will be submitted te
YOU and pray that the Almighty may
bestow Fis blessing on your labors."

The fact that 100000 Gemaa
prisoners will be freed to return to
Germany is regarded with no alarm
at all. Military men say they could
not quickly be reorganized into eff

opinion here is that Germany would

OLD SHOE
CAMPAIGN is
GREAT SUCCESS
Large Number Of Old Shoes Which
Are Very Valuable Collected
In Toledo Drive.

The old shoe campaign in Toledo
surpassed the fondest hopes of the
Committee of which Charles Hartman
was chairman.
The final count showed that 27,S0S
pairs of shoes had been collected dur
ing the campaign and there were
in. OF this number 23,6OS pairs were
in good wearable condition and we're
forwarded at once to the seaboard to
be shipped to French and Belgian re-
fugees.
There were $685. pairs of mems
shoes, 14342 pairs of women's shoes
and 1851 pairs of children's shoes.
The shoes were collected by vo1un-
teers with automobiles. Every pre-
cinct in the city was covered by ma
chimes and boy scouts accompanied
the drivers to pick up the shoes from
front porches The shoes were then
taken to the various engine houses in
the city where they were boxed and
shipped to the Baldwin Locomotive
works under the direction of Frank
Harrison of the Red Cross.
The shoes are to be forwarded to
France with locomotive shipments.
They will be stored inside of the
huge engines which are to see service
in France. The distribution in France
will be in charge of the Red Cross and
many thousands of refugees will have
warm dry feet this winter as the re-
suit of the campaign in Toledo.
The shoes which were collected
and which are not in wearable condi-
ton will repaired before being
shipped. The various organizations
in the city which are interested in the
campaign gave wonderful cooperation
and Chairman Hartman is highly
pleased with the campaign. Many
people gave new shoes. In some in
stances whole cases of shoes were do
mated.
The naval scouts co-operated by
visiting all of the Office buildings in
the business district and collected
many hundreds pairs of shoes.

KEEP ZINC AWAY FROM YOUR
PRESERVES


Washington, d. c., August 9-Do
not use galvanized utensils in max
ing preserves, jellies, or fruit puices,
the Bureau of Chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
vises. Some of the zinc with which
the vessels are galvanized may be
changed to salts of zinc, which will
give the product an acrid and astring-
ent taste and render it unsuitable for
human use. Moreover, the dissolving
of this zinc coating tends to ruin the
container. The use of galvanized
utensils for boiling down fruit Juice
is especially risky.
