STRANDED TOURISTS.

Julius Lederer in a letter home re--counts how the American ministers ft 'and consuls have come to the aid of "jm. 7ythe Americans who have encountered 't the difficulties of war abroad. The 'condition suggests an idea.

Americans stranded in European .countries, unable to buy food or shelter lor transportation with the traveler's checks, many of them "broke" by the sudden inflation of the cost of absolute necessaries or the closing of avenues of '1 communication, will be able when they get back home to offer at least one per- .: fectly sound argument in favor of sending only rich men to represent the .f United States as ambassadors in foreign countries.

An empty-pocketed intellectual giant could perhaps reflect more honor upon this country in a foreign embassy than ft the average mere multi-millionaire Jp but he could never have gone down into his own jeans and brought up, as '»the rich ambassadors are doing, the

I price of temporary relief for his illplighted countrymen.

TAKE A RIDE.

A little incident occurred the other day which proves that it would be an

aid in bringing about common sense regulations on street cars in all cities, if officials and owners of the company used the cars oftener and met the experiences that fall to the lot of the ordlnary car rider.

Illustration of this fact is supplied '"I" in St. Louis. That city has put in stepless cars with closing doors. A distinguished citizen wanted to biard a car but was late. The conductor ^"closed the door, in accordance with the .J' rules. The citizen broke down the door

H' and forced an entrance. The citizen with door busting proclivities happened to be former Gov.

David R. Francis, one of the heaviest owners of stock in the road, a director and an officer. The rules under which the conductor was working had been 1 approved by the board and investigation disclosed the conductor had done his duty.

Now the rule has been modified to cure the situation Mr. Francis met It ^-"u-411 probably accommodate others.

$ Baltimore. Md. "I am more than W glad to tell what Lydla E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound did for me.

I suffered dreadful pains and was very irregular. I became alarmed and sent for Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. I took it regularly until I was without a cramp or pain and felt like another person, and

it has now been six months since I took any medicine at all. I hope my little note will assist you in helping other women. I now feel perfectly well and in the best of health." —Mrs. AUGUST W. KONDNER, 1632 Hoilins Street, Baltimore, Md.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prove this fact.

For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has restored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ailments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc.

WAR AND BUSINESS.

Nowhere is ejxpert opinion relative to the coal industry more eagerly sought just now than in Terre Haute and the great coal fields adjacent to this city. The Black Diamond, the Chicago coal authority, said Saturday: "Confronted by the unprecedented condition of a general European war, the American coal trade, inexperienced in such matters and having no precedent by which to guide its action, has found itself hopelessly confused. Coal will take longer than most other trades to conform its action to the new situation because, unlike steel, it lacks a leader of sufficient strength to focus the best thought of the trade upon either natural consequences or natural lines of provision and have its dictum accepted. "In the absence of such leadership, the trend of coal trade affairs, outwardly at least, will be determined by the buyers rather than by the producers. South America, for example, is not waiting for the United States to solicit its business, but is sending Inquiries for enough coal to tide It over the period of the European war. A •volume of business estimated at more than 5,000,000 tons per year is definitely headed toward this country. Purchasers who have an option of buying either from the United States or from Australia and Japan are electing to buy in the United States. If they bought from Australia OT Japan the coal would be subject to seizure because both are allied with England. It is said that ships will start at once from Rio de Janeiro for the United States to carry back coal. "Europe, disturbed in its own production of coal, has cast eyes toward America as a possible source of supply. Italy is struggling to remain neutral In the European conflagration. In the event of its success, It will send its colliers here for a supply of coal. Operators here are offering to sell coal at circular price f. o. b. tidewater ports only when payment is made in cash at time of delivery and when the European supplies the boat. "Regardless of improved prospects, our export trade has been completely demoralized. At one eastern port 200,000 tons'of coal have accumulated and other coal is in transit. Carrying capacity sufficient to take this coal Is en route to these ports, but vessels are under instructions to tie up until greater safety of navigation Is assured. "In the interior the situation is quite as uneasy. The steel corporation reports an increase of orders, but offsets this optimism by the statement that America's supply of ferro-manganese is cut off by the European embroilment, hence production may be curtailed perforce. Also, in the Interior there is decided uneasiness over the psychological Influence of the war. Ample and admirable preparations of a financial character halve been made for relieving the tensity of the present situation. Coal men, however, are coming to appreciate that easy finances does not of necessity make good business. The people must feel secure or trade stops. "One conclusion comes out of the whole matter. The ultimate of the present situation must be that the United States will take advantage of Europe's present adversity to. control, at least for a time, the South and Central American coal trade. The sudden interruption of Europe's export coal trade comes at the precise moment when the American trade, distresed by over-production at home, was looking toward the export market for relief. "The United States government this week reversed its position with respect to the carriers. It abandoned its demand for a downward revision of railroad rates and granted the carriers of one district a modified adfvance. This reversal of a government position would, in normal times, have given business and the coal trade tremendous momentum. As it was, the incident was passed over almost without notice."

TRYING TIMES.

A small cartoon was published on this page yesterday, indicating that the finances of the United States were as sound as the rock of Gibraltar. It is good to call attention to this fact Just at this time when other nations are issuing proclamations suspending public and private debt. Imagine the paralysis that would ensue should such action be necessary here. Business would seek the cellars and commerce would become stagnant. Who wants to engage in business when debt and obligations are suspended. To show how substantial conditions here really are,

sold them In large quantities. That made a balance against this nation—a balance met by exports of gold. Business being suspended in Europe and ocean traffic stopped, the exports stopped.

But the waste of war abroad could not be carried on without affecting the business of the world. Waste is loss, and war Is reckless waste. From it the business world shrinks. In shrinking there is a shifting in business conditions somewhere.

This country sells large quantities of goods abroad. It Is also a heavy buyer there. War affects both. This creates an abnormal situation and impedes some lines of trade. But the country will quickly adjust Itself to the new conditions.

The emergency currency to be issued will prevent trouble while this adjustment is being made. It Is a preventive measure, taken for the well-being of the country.

HAS GERMANY BLUNDERED?

The most amazing development of the war in its early stages is to find the Germans and the Belgians at each others throats, and, too, to find Germany repulsed by her little neighbor. Germans and Belgians have lived in peace for years. General intercourse nearly eradicated national distinctions. The kaiser in the first flush of war [violated Belgian territory, evidently expecting that he would have Belgium's aid instead of her desperate enmity, and the disaster the Belgians have inflicted on the German forces must be a staggering blow to the German ruler. German citizens In this country deplore the breach between the two nations. In New York tomorrow a great mass meeting of Germans is to be held to denounce the war of their nation against the Belgians, their peaceable neighbor.

A few days ago It would have been impossible to believe that the first battle to be fought by the Germans would be against neither France, England nor Russia, but against a small and traditionally unwarlike nation which was considered of no moment whatever in the alignment of the opposing forces. Belgian impotence was so completely taken for granted that the Germans anticipated no resistance to their plan of attacking France from Belgian territory.

Though the invasion of Belgium was accompanied by protestations of peaceful and friendly intent from the German commander the entire Belgian nation was fired to a fury of resentment. No European country had re

cently been torn by more bitter political strife, yet, almost on an hour's notice, the Belgians became a united people, animated by patriotic frenay. With their king actually In the field, leading them to victory, the Belgians have become an Important unit in the war. The Belgian successes, though they will be forgotten in the horror of the greater battles which are sure to follow, may ha}ve measurable weight in affecting the final outcome. Even if the Germans, through persistency of overwhelming numbers, succeed In capturing Liege and in effecting their passage through Belgian territory, they will have suffered a delay which may prove vital, and they will have lost the prestige of an initial victory.

There is a prophecy that relief work in foreign countries will be imperative. India is under a malefic stern, presaging many internal troubles and much suffering among the people. Anarchists will commit outrages, it is said, and public men will be in peril.

Letter-writing is under a sinister rule today. Lovers are warned to be particularly cautious.

Petty worries and anxieties may annoy women. These should be put aside, lest they lead to hasty speech and unwise acts. The astral government is not fortunate for domestic happiness.

Abstemiousness in eating is advife'ed, as the aspect is said to be conducive to diseases of the stomach and digestive tract.

Inundations in Holland, CKirly in the autumn, are prophesied. The queen should guard her health, as she is believed to be subject to unfavorable influences. The transit of Mars over the moon is construed as indicating many anxieties.

The emperor of Japan, whose birthday is this month, is warned of extraordinary events which are foreshadowed. Danger of an Anglo-Jap-anese complication is presaged.

The death of a famous philanthropist is prophesied. He will found a novel charity.

Agitation on the subject of divorce will be more widespread than ever before. Books on the subject will meet with unusual sale. Women authors are warned of severe criticism.

Persons whose birthdate it is have rather an unlucky omen. Disappointment is prognosticated. Change.3 of any sort will not be wise.

BLAME ANCIENT PLANS FOR GERMAN SETBACK

British Military Critics Declare Kaiser Has Failed to Profit By Former Wars.

LONDON, Aug. 8.—7 a. m.—According to late dispatches this morning an important engagement between French and Germans occurred in Belgian Luxemburg. The Etoile Beige, of Brussels, learns from an official source that no decision has been reached on the question of an armistice at Liege, and engagements have begun elsewhere.

Another report states that an armistice of two hours only was granted the Germans in order that they might collect their wounded.

An official communication issued at Paris states that troops In the fortress of Liege being sufficient for the defense of the town, an active division mobilized at Liege has joined the army in the field.

English military critics In London comment oil the failure of the tactics of the German infantry exhibited In their frontal attacks on the Liege forts, in which they were repulsed. It Is contended that the Germans learned nothing from recent wars and still adhere to methods adopted in the Franco-German war.

Z. Johnson, saloonkeeper at Third and Cherry streets, shot him in the shoulder, the man was released when four witnesses testified there had been no shot, no gun shown, and no disturb ant except when a man named Wade Sexton, son-in-law of Johnson, had thrown a beer glass at Braddick.

All the prosecuting witnesses testified that while they did not see Johnson shoot, after turning around when the shot was fired, they saw Johnson with a revolver in his hand.

James Abernathe, Frank Bailey and Virgil McBride, the latter a bartender, and Johnson all testified there was no shot fired. Bailey ventured the explanation that when the beer glass struck the wail it sounded like a shot.
