HATTEM, Province of Guelderland. Netherlands. June 8. Not since the manufacture of paper became one of the established industries of the Nether lands, 330 years ago, has it known such a setback as it suffers by the European war. "In the first place," says the head of one of the ancient paper houses of Guelder land. "many a skilled laborer has been called to don our Queen's uniform, thus putting the Dutch mills shortbanded. In the second place, not to mention the many difficulties in the way of secur ing the necessary raw materials at all, their price has advanced to a figure unheard of, as have the prices of every kind of supplies and implements requi site in our work, such as combustibles, mechanics' wires, felts and similar articles. Shipping, of course, to many ports has been suspended, and to those ports which are still reached, only enormously enhanced freight rates will assure shipment.

EXPERT WILL TEACH Madame Montessori to Hold Classes in Oregon Building. METHOD TO BE ADAPTED Effort Will Be Made to Eliminate Possible Obstacles to Use With American Children Lectures to Be Open to Public. BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON EXPOSITION BUILDING, San Francisco, June zi. It is definitely decided that Madame Montessori, ex pert on child psychology and child edu cation, will hold classes in the Oregon building beginning August 1. She will give a series of lectures and demonstra tions in several of the state and for eign buildings, and will open in the Oregon building. It is said that she will conduct a training course, when her- method of teaching will be sub mitted to an international jury, and the most practicalfeatures oft"ered for permanent use in this country. It has been said frequently that Madame Montessorl's method was not adaptable to American children. It will undoubtedly be found that under her direct management the obstacles will be eliminated. Parents Besiege Manager. She will have classes of children be tween the ages of 3 and 6, who have never been taught in any school by any method. The classes will be held in the forenoon, and already parents are beginning to besiege the office of her manager with requests that their chil dren be the fortunate ones to come under the madame's influence. The lec tures will be open to the public. In the Oregon building they will probably be held in the dancing pavilion. Instrumental in bringing Madame Montessori to the exposition are Dr. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Educa tion; Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of the National Educational Associa tion; Dr. Adelaide Brown, of San Fran cisco; Mariana Bertola, president of the Vittoria Colonna Club, and Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson. Wallace Hatch, of 2612 Park street, Berkeley, is managing the work, and any request for Information or for the entering of children in the classes should be addressed to him. Oregon Entertains Jnry on Awards. The jury on awards, which unani mously gave Oregon the gold medal on installation of its horticultural exhibit in the Palace of Horticulture and which has acted in all the other awards which the state has received, is being enter tained today in the Oregon building at a luncheon at which C. N. Ravi in is host. The guests are: Dr. Bitting, Washington. D. C, president of the OUTSTANDING RESULTS OF WARFARE BETWEEN NATIONS OF EUROPE. SITUATION ON LAXD. The greater portion of Belgium is under control of Germany. Germany has been driven from the Far East. A small part of the Dardanelles is in the possession of the allied troops. Portions of France and Russia are In the possession of German troops. J A strip of Alsace has been taken from Germany. a On the continent of Africa parts of territorial possessions have been f lost by both sides. J Various island possessions of Germany have been taken by the I forces of the allies. J Italian troops are in possession of a strip of Austrian territory. ' 4 WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AT SEA. t German and Austrian mercantile shipping has been driven from all f the open seas. J German and Austrian war vessels having a total displacement of I approximately 257,000 tons have been destroyed. I War vessels of the allied nations approximately 1S',UUU tons and costing 175,000,000 have been senfc- to the bottom. The greater portions of the German and allied fleets in the North Sea remain intact. Except for communication through Holland and the Scandinavian nations. Germany is cut off from the rest of the world. Efforts on the part of the Germans to place the British Isles in a similar predicament has resulted in the Binking by submarines of hun dreds of vessels flying the flags of the allied and neutral nations. The sinking in this manner of the Cunard liner Lusitania, with the loss of more than 100 American lives, precipitated a request upon the part of the United States that such practices, insofar aa they might menace Americans, be stopped.

Kmema Educational Bnildlnga Are Uaed for Military Pnrpoaea and Other Inconveniences Caused. LONDON, June 10. The annual re port of the Board of Education says it is not yet possible to estimate the full effect 6f the war on the schools, but it has depleted the teaching staffs, decreased the number of students and caused inconvenience by the use of school buildings for military purposes. About 30 per cent of the attendance of 34 universities and colleges in Eng land and Wales has been diverted to the military services. In the men's training college for elementary teach ers, 645 out of 1420 Joined the colors; at the 'Royal College of Art, 39 out of 152 students left for the same reason. Other institutions seem to show about the same proportion. According to returns made in April. 178 elementary schools. 18 secondary schools, 14 technical and two training colleges were then occupied by soldiers. This is but a small part of the build ings used temporarily during the move ments of troops. In most cases, school keeps even if the building is used as a barracks, and other premises are found. FAR EAST NEEDS DOCTORS Academy of Medicine Hears Call Repeated by Missionaries. SAN FRANCISCO. June 27. Pressing need of modern, scientifically trained doctors and Western medicines in the countries of the Far East was the re peated statement of several missionary doctors in addresses given today before the American Academy of Medicine, in convention here. Rev. J. K. Brown, missionary from Turkey, declared that cleanliness was almost more necessary than Godliness in that country. "Conditions," he said, "could hardly be imagined by American citizens. It is no unusual sight to see children in the schoolrooms broken out with smallpox and other contagious diseases." Dr. Mary Riggs Noble, vice-principal of the Woman's Christian Medical Col lege, in Lundhiana, India, said that in' her institution native girls were being trained to become doctors so they might administer to the 41,000,000 women of the harems, where male doctors are i not allowed to enter. having a total displacement of 4 .... -V Cl WAR SPARK IDLED ONE YEAR AGO TODAY More Than 6,000,000 Killed, Wounded and Prisoners .

(Contlnned From yirat Pase correspondence and negotiations, an ultimatum was sent to Serbia by the Austro-Hungarian government, which Serbia declined to meet. A week later a general mobilization of Russian troops along, the German border was ordered and the following day Germany declared war on Russia. The news of that event was followed in a few hours .by the announcement that a general mobilization has been ordered by the French Cabinet. On August 2 German troops entered Luxemburg and Germany demanded free passage through Belgium to the French frontier. This was refused and two days later Great Britain dispatched to Germany an ultimatum demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be maintained. The ultimatum rejected, German forces attacked Liege. Great War In Full Swing. The following day saw the declara tion by Great Britain of a state of war with Germany and two days later the Germans entered Liege as the French invaded Southern Alsace. By August 17 the first British expedi tionary force had completed its land ing in France and on that day there began also a fierce battle on the Jadar between the Austrian and Serbian troops. Victory was with the Serbian arms after five days of fighting and the Austrians were routed. In the meanwhile the battle of Lor raine had opened and the German troops had entered Brussels, the Bel gian capital. A few days later, August 23, the vic torious Germans entered Namur and began an attack on Mons, defended principally by the first British expedi tionary force. The next day the Brit ish troops began a retreat from their position and from then on until Sep tember 12 the German troops drove through France under the leadership of General von Kluck. The French government fled to Bordeaux. Pighting Begun In East. In the meanwhile, German and Aus trian troops had met the Russians. A victory at Krasnik was announced by the Austrian government on August 23, while on August 29 the German army, under General voi Hindenburg, defeated another Russian force in a battle at Tanneburg, which lasted three days. Louvain was burned by the Ger mans on the same day that the Japa nese blockade of Tsing-Tau was begun. Two days after the French govern ment moved to Bordeaux, the battle of the Marne was begun, a few hours be fore Russian troops succeeded in occu pying Lemberg. yie capital of Galicia. Before the French and British troops, the Germans in France were forced to retreat as far as the Aisne. Events of the next few days included the bom bardment of Rheims by the Germans, and the sinking by a German subma rine of the British cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue. On the same day the. Russian troops attacked Przemysl and took Jaroslav. Indian Troops Reach France. British troops from India were landed from transports at Marseilles on Sep tember 26 and were immediately dis patched to the northward. Before their arrival at their destination the Ger mans had inaugurated a siege of Ant werp, which resulted in the Belgian government moving from that city to Ostend. Two days later the bombard ment of Antwerp began. The Belgian government remained at Ostend for about a week and then removed to Havre, France. Forty-eight hours later the Germans captured Ostend. Meanwhile the allied troops occupied Ypres. and a desperate battle had be gun on the Vistula River. German as saults upon the allied lines between Ypres and Nieuport continued for a week and then weakened. ! The Germans operating in Russia meantime had been defeated after a ten days' battle before Warsaw. In Africa revolt and mutiny broke out. These disorders were headed by the Boer leader. General de Wet, Gen eral Beyers, Colonel Maritz and others. Colonel Maritz was driven from Cape Colony, General Beyers was killed at Vaal River, and General de Wet was captured after he had been in the field more than a month. Dreadnought Audacious Sunk.

Turkey Joined the war at that Juncture by naval operations in the Black Sea. Odessa was attacked. November opened with a German naval victory over a British squadron off the coast of Chile. Two days later German warships ventured from their anchorage behind the naval base at Heligoland and bombarded the BritiBh coast in the vicinity of Yarmouth. On November 5, Great Britain and France declared war on Turkey and the forts guarding the entrance to the Darda nelles were bombarded by a fleet of al lied English and French warships. On the north the Russians reoccupied Jaro slav after several days of ferocious fighting. Onland the armies of the belliger ents settled down to hold their posi tions for the Winter months. Activities from November 11. when the German forces captured Dixmude, resulted in Russian defeats at Vlotslavek. Lopno and Kutno. The battle in Flanders progressed at intervals. In the Serbian Austrian campaign there was consider able activity. The Austrians occupied Belgrade, the Serbian capital, on De cember 2 and retained it until December 15. In East Prussia there was severe fighting. On the sea, a British squadron sig nally defeated the German squadron which was victorious off Chile. Ger man cruisers bombarded Hartlepool and Scarborough, and the German arm ored cruiser Bluecher was sunk in the North Sea. The British troops in France again became active in March, making a note worthy advance at Neuve Chapelle. By the end of March the Russian troops bad penetrated the Dukla Pass and en tered Hungary. April saw the begin ning of violent assaults on the German lines by the French east of Verdun and the Meuse. By the middle of April the Russians had penetrated Hun gary to a point 20 miles over the bord er and the Germans had begun a suc cessful asault upon the allied lines near Ypres.

It Is literally true that "what is one man's food is another man's poi son." But it is possible tc select a pleas ing diet from articles of food that cause no discomfort and it .is possible to tone up the digestive organs. When the stomach lacks tone there is no quicker way to restore it than to build up the blood. Good digestion without rich, red blood is impossible and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer the best way to build up the blood. They also have a direct action on the nerves and, as the nerves cont 1 the processes of digestion, these pills are especially good in stomach trouble attended with thin blood and in nervous dyspepsia. You can begin this treatment at once because your own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Perhaps you are not eating the right foods. Sometimes the very things that people eat "for their health" are the things that hurt them. A postal card request to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N. Y.. will bring a free diet book.
