LONDON, Aug. 8.—The spirit in which the British people are taking the war has found expression in their acceptance of their first misfortune, the lqgs of the cruiser Amphion with 136 men.

Consequently the police have arrested a large number of Germans. About fifty were rounded up yesterday. The police took charge of the residence at Maresfleld of Prince Neunster of Derenburg, who left for Germany upon the declaration of war. They also raided the German monotoype works at Saleford and seized a number of rifles and some ammunition. Thirty-two Germans at the plant were arrested.

Demonstrations seemed to prove their practical value and their accuracy. The Germans have been developing the dir­

Treasury and Commeroe Departments May Have to Take Case to Wilson to Deoide.

WASHING-TON, Aug. 8.—Conflict of authority between the treasury and commerce departments over the enforcement of neutrality in American waters may make it necessary for President Wilson to decide where the final authority shall rest.

The chief complication in a situation already delicate has arisen from orders to customs colectors by the department of commerce, which probably would operate to prevent the departure of European reservists in organized numbers.

Officials of departments concerned in enforcing neutrality were at work today on new rules whioh probably will modify instructions of the commerce department. Secretary Redfleld was not in Washington when the flrst neutrality instructions were promulgated and it was probable today after the new rules were drawn they will be laid before the president himself.

Administration officials have felt particular embarrassment in connection with reservists because the French liner Lorraine 'waa permitted to sail several days ago with several hundreds of French reservists aboard. With the issuance .of the commerce department order, however, some doubt was expressed whether the Vaterland or other shipe with a large number of acknowledged reservists would be allowed to sail.

GERMAN STORY OF BATTLE.

Berlin Holds Fight At Liege Mere Display of Heroiam. BERLIN, ((via. London) Aug. 8.—-The official German account of the siege of Liege, says: "On Wednesday the German advance guard penetrated along the entire Belgian frontier. A small detachment tried a coup de main with great boldness at Liege. Some of the cavalry entered Liege with the intention of seizing the commander of the forces, who only saved himself by flight. "An attempt on the fortress itself, the fortifications of which are modern, was unsuccessful. Our troops are before the fortress in contact with the enemy. "A hostile foreign press will characterize the enterprise, which cannot in the slightest influence the larger operations, as a defeat It, however, is but a unique act of heroism in the history of war and a sign of the gallantry of our troops."

Rivals Her Daughter in Youthful Beauty

A well-known society matron whose youthful beauty is so well preserved that she is regarded as her daughter's rival in this respect—though she does' not pose as such—attributes her girlish complexion chiefly to two thingj. She says: "I am convinced that many cosmetics by overloading the skin and pores, tend to age the complexion. Mercolized wax has just the opposite effect. It keei3 the pores clean, permitting them to breathe, and removes dead particles ut cuticle whioh are constantly appearing and which give the complexion that faded look. Whenever my skin begins to get the least bit off-color, muddy ur tanned, I go to my druggist's for an ounce of mercolized wax I apply thi® nightly, like cold cream, for a week or so, washing it off mornings. This is what keeps my complexion so fresh, white and velvety, even during the trying: days of summer. "The absence of wrinkles and flabbir.ess I owe to the use of a simple face b&th prepared by dissolving one ounce of powdered saxolite In a half pint witch hazel. This keeps the skin tight* and firm."—Social Register.
