EUGENE, FORMER
EMPRESS, IS DEAD
Widow of Third Napoleon Dies
at Great Age, While Visiting
Native Land.

Madrid, Spain, July 12.-The former
Empress Eugene of France died here
yesterday morning.
Death occurred shoetly before o'clock
from acute intestinal inflammation. She
passed away quietly in the presence only
of her lady-in-waiting. Her nephew, the
Duke of Alba, aG whose residence she
died, was in France, and the other MEM
bers of the family were absent. Full
imperial honors will be accorded at her
funeral
Eugenie was ninety-four years and
two months old when she died During
the later years of her life she said
IL am the past, the horizon. There is
nothing for me but to wait; my winter is
nearly over
Sorrow and calamity had been the con-
slant companions of the Empress ever
since the fateful Sept. 4, 1870, when she
and all Paris had heard of the defeat
and capture Of Napoleon at Sedan. The
empress was popularity accused of bring
ing on that disastrous war with Prussia.
Historians have since declared that
there is little evidence to support such
charges, but the riotous mobs of Paris,
shouting for the new republic which the
deputies had proclaimed, stormed the pal
ace of the Tuileries and howlcd impreca-
tions upon Eugenie's head until the
empress became convinced that her life
was in real peril.
Flight was blocked by the mobs sur
rounding the palace. Finally an exit
was found by way of the Louvre. The
empress, in disguise, accompanied only
by one of her ladies in waiting, was taken
in a cab to the residence of the American
dentist, DR.. Thomas J. Evans.
They have all forsaken me: you can
save me: you must save me, she cried to
DR.. Evans.
And with his friend and compatriot.
DR.. Crane, this American saved her, drove
her to Deauville, on the seacoast, and
persuaded Sir John Burgoyne to take her
in his Yacht to England.
Misfortune came speedily. The fall
OF the empire was followed by the death
of the exiled Emperor Napoleon III in
England, three wears later, and the killing
of his only son, the Prince Imperial while
in battle with the English against the
Zulus

ALLIES ENIEAvOR
TO HELP POLAND
Propose to Russia an Armistice on
Poles Retiring Within
Their Frontier.

Spa, Belgium, July 12.-If the Poles
consent to retire within the natural
frontiers of Poland the Allies will give
them all possible assistance in the event
of their being attacked by the Boleshviki.
The Allies have sent a proposal to the
Russian Soviet. government for an armis-
tice with Poland on condition that tho
Poles retire within their natural Polish
frontier. 1t is set forth that the armistic
will be followed by a conference of repre-
sentatives of all the countries on the Rus
sian border and that if the Bolschviki
attack the Poles within the frontiers the
Allies will come to the aid of Poland.
Ladislas Grabski, the Polish Premier,
talking to correspondents of all counties
said: This is decisive moment for
Poland. Our army is engaging the mobi-
lized forces Of Russia with a population
six times our own, an army equipped with
all the most perfected instruments of war
supplied by the Allies to the armies of
Denikine, Kolchak and Yudenitch-
armored automobiles, tanks, machine
guns and heavy artillery.
SERIOUS BUT NOT DESPERATE.
"The Bolsehviki army has much more
to fight with than the Polish army and
of superior quality, besides masses of
cavalry. The Bolsheviki offensive has
created for us serious situation, but
not desperate one"
The Premier alluded TO the unity Of
all parties and classes in Poland, TO the
universal volunteering for the new armies
in formation and to the confidence of the
people in being able to hold out. lie de-
clared that the harvests were good But,
he added, ''besides confidence in ourselves
we call and rely on the aid of our allies,
military, where possible and the moral
and diplomatic support OF all
The substance OF the Polish note to the
allied governments, he said, expressed
the desire for peace upon basis of self
determination.
The Polish representatives here ap-
peared 10 be rather stunned by the an
nouncement that Great Britain bad con-
ciuded arrangements with the Soviet
concerning commercial intercourse They
assumed that ono of the British condi-
tons was the withdrawal of the Boishe-
wiki menace to India, and il was noted
that recent information received by the
Polish military intelligence service had
disclosed the withdrawal from the Per-
sian front of many Soviet battalions
said TO be intended for use on the Polish
front. This news was taken by the Poles
to mean that the Miscow government had
abandoned for the moment any forward
movement in the direction of India.
The Polish diplomats here assume that
commercial relations with the Soviet
government will be followed before many
months by political recognition of that
government and they express the view
hat this action by Great Britain will tend

Why Itch and Burn
With Skin Diseases

Do not expect to be cured of any form
of skin disease by the use Of lotions, salves,
ointrnents or other local treatment, as
such remedies cannot possibly reach the

on any part Of your body, you should take
prompt steps 10 rid the blood Of the germs
which cause them. And the one remedy
which has no equal as blood cleanser is
