PARIS. Aug. 20. A warning Issued
by the French government today says
that while one great st-uggle is In
progress on the frontier, another
fight must be fought in the interior of
the country against the misery which
follows the disorder in Its economical
life.
The prefecture of police in Paris
estimates that there are 600,000 out
of work In the French capHal and its
suburbs, or nearly one-sixth of the to
tal population of the Department ofj
the Seine.
All the old men and youths in the
building trades are to be put to work
finishing buildings under construction.
Factories will be reopened and will
employ limited forces. Far-reaching
charitable work, supported by the gov
ernment, is being ordered.
There has been almost complete ces
sation of orders in dressmaking, mil
linery, artificial flowers, ".ace and em
broidery afM related industries, which
under ordinary circumstances employ
over 4 per cent of the laborers of
France.
It is hoped that American orders
will continue.
Many of the large dressmaking es
tablishments are giving work to their
staffs In the making cf plain hospital
garments for the wounded. This is
done at their own expense.
The labor unions in the Department
of the Seine and elsewhere la France
have opened vast soup kitchens, where
those who can pay may have a meal
for 4 cents. Those who cannot pay
are fed for nothing.
YANKEE WOMAN TO RESCUE
Assume.-, American's Hotel Bill, Re
senting -Insult" to His Money.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11. American
women may have their preferences
among the European nations now at
war. tut they are for America and
Americans first, last and all the time.
This was demonstrated in most grate
ful fashion to R P. Colson. of Chicago,
by Mrs. P. H. Dugro, wife of Justice
Dugro, of the Supreme Court, when
Mr. Colson found himself halted In
Paris a week ago when making a des
perate effort to catch the steamship
New York at Cherbourg and return to
his native land. Mr. Colson stopped
at the Belmont Hotel for a few hours
after the arrival of the New York and
went to Chicago.
"When I wn informed that the New
York would make the trip and my
reservation aboard her held good, I
was in the Continental Hotel in Paris."
Mr. Colson said. "I hurried down to
the office and asked for my bill, which
was presented and totaled $74. In
my pockets I found plenty of express
company's travelers' checks, but In
money only some change and a J50
United States Treasury note. I put
down some of the checks but the clerk
cashier said he couldn't take them. I
told him he must take them, that I had
not time to go hunting for the gold he
demanded, because I would miss my
steamship It I did. He shook his head.
I asked him to keep the checks and let
me send him the gold. He said I
would not be permitted to go until I
had paid In gold.
"Then I tossed down the $50 bill and
told him to keep that and the checks.
He pushed it back to me as If It were
infected, and said 'No,' emphatically.
To my astonishment, a woman who
had been standing at the desk, a wit
ness of all this, here broke in.
"You go right along and catch your
vessel.' she said to me. 'I will take
care of this affair. I won't see United
States money Insulted anywhere if I
can prevent it. And you,' she contin
ued to the clerk, while her eyea
snapped, 'charge this man's bill to my
account and do not delay him another
Instant.' "

cation with that fortress. In antici
pation that this might become neces
sary, the seat of government had al
ready been transferred from Brussels
to Antwerp. As Brussels Is an unde
fended city and no longer the seat of
government, the fact that the Ger
mans may have occupied it is not of
great importance. Moreover, the pres
ent position of the Belgian field army
Is a menace to the right flank of any
further German advance westward."
RUSSIAXS TELL OF VICTORIES
General Staff Reports on Skirmishes
on Two Borders.
LONDON, Aug. 20. A dispatch to
the Reuter Telegram Company from
St. Petersburg gives a communication
issued by the Russian general staff
covering the operations of the army
from August IS to August 19, In which
successes are claimed in skirmishes
on both the Austrian and German
frontiers.
"Austrian cavalry which entered
Russian Poland, at Kielce, Rijbniza and
other ports," says the communication,
"were driven back with losses, while
Austrians who attacked. Krasnik were
defeated. The Russians took 250 pris
oners. On the Russian-German border
the Russians took the offensive near
Windballen. captured Lyk, and took

ish advantage will be materially les

belligerents, the suggestion Is under
consideration in official circles to limit
tne operations of the vessels to be pur

ica. This would free certain vessels
now In that trade and enable them to
engage in the commerce with Europe.

GERMAN NAVY IN CHECK
BRITISH 11EPORT SAYS INSURANCE
RATES PROVE RESULT.
Ena-llah Commerce Declared Almost
Normal) That of Rival Paralyzed
aa Result of War
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. The Brit
ish Embassy here today received from
its foreign office a summary of the
naval and military situation to date.
Colville Barclay, the charge, sent a
copy to Secretary Bryan. It follows:
"Since the declaration of war the
fleet has been responsible for the
safety of the expeditionary force,
which completed its disembarkation in
France on August 18, which was ef
fected in perfect order and without a
casualty.
"The work of the navy in the At
lantic and elsewhere in safeguarding
the trade routes is best exemplified by
the fact that at Lloyds' yesterday the
war risks fell to 40 shillings per cent
for almost any voyage of British ves
sels, whereas the rate to Insure freight
of corn, paid by steamers from the
United States to a British port, is 30
shillings per cent.
"The German fleet outside the Bal
tic is confined to harbors. English
commerce is almost normal, uerman
sea-borne commerce is paralyzed.
"The only casualty is the loss of the
light cruiser Ampluon, blown up by a
mine, after having sunk the German
mine layer Koenigln Louise. One Ger
man submarine has been sunk in the
North Sea."

THIS IS FIRST WAR BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
The Anglo-German conflict that
has just begun is the first war
that has ever been fought be
tween England and Germany, or
between England and any part
of Germany.
Great Britain has often been
the ally of Prussia, the backbone
of the present German empire,
but never her enemy. England
lent Prussia valuable aid during
the seven years' war of 1756
1763, and helped her again dur
ing the war of liberation against
Napoleon. Prussian and English
troops fought side by side in the
battle of Wj.terloo, and marched
into Paris together several weeks
later. It is true that during this
conflict. Saxony, a German state
siding with Napoleon, was tech
nically considered at war with
England, but no actual clash be
tween the forces of these two
countries ever occurred. The last
time that Englishmen and Ger
mans fought as allies was during
the Boxer insurrection In China
13 years ago.
Until well after the accession
of Emperor William II, France,
and not Germany, was regarded
as England's arch enemy. It was
the Kaiser's aggressive naval
policy that antagonized John
Bull. That wary old gentleman
soon became suspicious of the
upstart navy which his Teuton
neighbor was constructing, and
from that moment on the tradi
tional Anglo - German friendship
became a thing of the past.

American Doctors Estimate They
Saw 1,500,000 Soldiers of Kaiser.
LONDON, Aug. 20. Dr. W. H.
Aurand, of Minneapolis, and Dr. Robert
Rlzer, of Chicago, accompanied by their
wives and children, have arrived in
London after more than a fortnight's
experience in the tiieater of war, par
ticularly between Liege and Alx-la-Chapelle.
The adventures of these two
American physicians included three
days' work in a hospital at Vervlers,
Belgium, where German wounded were
being brought.
Drs. Aurand aftd Rizer were Just In
advance of the German army on their
way from Welkenraedt to Vervlers.
They noted soldiers on the road in
solid columns. At Aix-la-Chapelle
they saw troops marching day and
night for three days.
They estimate the Germans at 1,500,
000 men, all with brand new equip
ment. They noticed that the soldiers
in the hospitals at Vervlers wore new
underclothing. Privates suffered
greatly from new snoes; their feet
were swollen and blistered. The Amer
icans treated many cases in the Ver-v-iers'
hospital, which was in a build
ing previously usod as a Catholic col
lege. They saw thousands of German
cannon labeled "Nach Paris." German
soldiers were kind to the American
travelers, even carrying water for the
women and bringing milk to the chil
dren. The German authorities, however, re
fused to allow English people to
leave Vervlers. This English party in
cluded several persons of wealth and
several members of the nobility. Tney
suffered greatly from want.
The loyal populace of Alx-la-Chapelle
showered the passing German
troops with food, cigars and cigarettes.
They set out within easy reach buckets
of water in wnicn tney couia wasn
their faces.
The German soldiers encountered by
the American doctors, both of f icers and
men, talked freely. They said they had
intended a peaceable entry into Bel
gium, and that they were paying for
all the supplies usea. They asserted
German troops had been maneuvering
In Belgium for two weeks prior to the
outbreak of hostilities. The German
attitude was that their troops must
make use of Belgium. They did not
intend to disturb the people, but they
would engage in sharp reprisals it at-
The strange belief that Great Britain
and Holland were at war caused a
German commander to advise the
Americans to avoid Holland. The same
belief was prevalent at Atx-la-Cha-peUe.
Frederick Bruchholz. also of Min
neapolis, who left Aix-la-Chapelle one
day In advance of the others, drove to
the Dutch frontier near Maestricht. He
witnessed a pitiable sight. Some
civilians had fired on the invaders. In
return three villages were in flames
and the women were fleeing to the
Holland side of the line in their night
clothes with crying children at their
...jels.
XINtE STEAMSHIPS CHARTERED
United States Pushes Arrangements
to Help Refugees.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Nine
steamers, some of them already under
way. have been chartered tonight by
diplomatic officers of the United States
as auxiliaries to ships of regular lines
in moving warbound Americans from

The ships include the Udina and Ma
falda, from Genoa; Espagne and
Rochambeau, from Havre: Infanta Isa

been authorised.
Outfitting of the Army tranaports at
Newport News will not be completed
for two or three days. Secretary Gar
rison said tonight. Their sailing or
ders are held In abeyance until It la
determined where they will be needed.
Acceptance of the offer of the German
government to place ocean liners at
tbe disposal of the United States for
the transportation of Americana is to
be considered.
Only one response has been received
from the nations at war over the pro
posal of establishing the neutrality of
such ships on relief erranda. Great
Britain imposed the condition, that any
German ships used should fly the
American flag and be manned by
United States officers.
The treasure cruiser Tennessee, now
at Falmouth, was ordered today to sail
for Rotterdam, whence United States
fiscal officers will go to points in
Northern Europe. Funds for the re
lief of United States citizens still may
be deposited with the Treasury Depart
ment and agents of the Department of
State will attend to their distribution.
PAYMENTS OF MONEY DELATED
Hundreds in London Wait In Vain;
Washington Is at Loss.
LONDON, Aug. 20. Hundreds of
Americans here expressed exasperation
today at not being able to obtain
money which friends have deposited
for them with the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington.
They called at the American embassy
by appointment today, having been told
by the Embassy officials the money
would be available then. Reaching
the embassy, however, they were in
formed that no Instructions had been
received from Washington.
The embassy has asked Washington
for authority to make these disburse
ments, without result.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. A cable
gram covering many typewritten pages
and giving names and descriptions of
more than 1000 Americans, every one
for whom friends or relatives here had
deposited money with the State De
partment, was dispatched from the de
partment to tho embassy at London
Sunday night. Consequently officials of
the department expressed great sur
prise tonight when informed that there
had been delay in the payments a't
London. A force of officials and clerks
worked afl day Sunday in order to have
the descriptions in the hands of the
embassy staff Monday.
SLAM) BILL IS RUSHED
MEASURE FOR rHILIPPIME INDE
PENDENCE REPORTED.
Provision Empowering; Local Legisla
ture to Enact Tariff Laws Added
to Fit War Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Another
step toward giving the Philippines In
dependence was taken In Congnes to
day when the House committee oil In
sular affairs favorably reporti-d the
Jones bill, which would declare finally
for the first time the purposes of the
American people as to thu future po
litical status of the islands.
Representative Jones, of Virginia,
chairman of the committee, announced
his purpose to press the measure for
consideration at this session. A new
feature of the bill is designed to meet
the commercial paralysis of the archi
pelago resulting trom the war situa
tion. At present all tariff and inter
nal revenue tax laws for the Philip
pines are enacted by Congress. The
proposed law would expressly comer
on the lslanl lesiiature tne ngni iu
enact all tariff laws, except those
which affect the trade relations be
tween the United States and tho Phil
ippines.
"The Postoffice, Itcpresentaiive
Jones said, "must have means of sup
plementing Its revenue Just as we have
in this country. At present its hands
are tied and It can look only to the
United States.
"As Congress is to be kept In Wash
ington on account of the unsettled
condition in Europe, there is no reason
why the Philippine bill should not bo
considered now.
The bill declares the purpose of the
people of the United States to grant
the people of the Islands complete in
dependence as soon as they establish a
stable government in the Islands. To
fit them better to govern themselves,
the bill gives them a larger measure
of participation in the governmental
affairs of the Islands. It abolishes tho
Philippine Commlslson. which now is
appointive by the President, and sub
stitutes for It an elective Senate."

T had lumbago and rheumatism for
two years. The rheumatism was in
my feet and they were so swollen and
painful that, with my sore back, I
could not take off my shoes without
assistance. I took many medicines, but
they did not bring tho slightest relief.
Finally I tried Akoz and found the
plasters and water excellent for driv
ing out the pain. In one month's time
I got more relief than I ever expected.
The first week's treatment did me more
good than all the other remedies I had
taken. I am convinced that further
treatment will bring me permanent re
