EMPEY TALKED TOO MUCH.

President Wilson Did Not Like His Ay Chatter About "Conscripts." CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—-Arthur Guy Empey, soldier-author, lost his chances for a commission in the United States army by a flery curtain speech? on the stage of the National theater la .Washington.

He was appearing in a new play, "Pack Up Your Troubiea." President Wilson was present.

The real heroes of the war. Empey said in effect, were the volunteers who went over in the first place, and not the drafted men who are fighting now only because they were compelled to do so.

Empey ended with a flourish, but the expected bur^t of applause did not foltow.

While the commission had been recommended, it had not been signed and delivered, and three days later came the announcement that there had been a "mistake" in connection with the granting of a captaincy to the former sergeant.

WORLD'S HEALTH RECORD.

In past wars the best rate was 20 per 1,000 during the Russo-

Japanese war.

RUSSIA MOST NEEDS AID IN ECONOMICS

Country Rich In Natural Resources But Needs Help For Development

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The most effective aid the United States can render to Russia is "economic assistance," the American-Russian chamber of commerce declared in a statement made public today. "No matter how effective the present movement may be in regard to eliminating the destructive elements in Russia's life, the announcement stated, they cannot bring: about a sound basis for Russia's regeneration unless economic assistance and aid of the most generous character are fully provided for.

Russia is rich in raw material, the statement continued, and does not ask charity, but full assistance for the restoration and reconstruction of its economic life. It faces a terrible winter. An ordinary suit of clothes is said to coat J700, sugar |16 a pound and other necessaries bring fabulous prices. The peasants have furs, flax and hides stored in large quantities, which they desire to exchange for American products.

Economic assistance will not only help win the war, but will save thousands of Russian lives, the statement adds.

BRITISH WAIT CHANCE TO HIT GERMANS ACAIN

Continued From Page One.

high ground is important to the enemy, because French guns placed there would command all the terrain northward toward Roye and eastward toward Noyon.

With the massif in possession of the French, the Germans probably would be forced to evacuate Lassigny and Noyon, and possibly the entire line southward from Chaulnes. This would have some eiTect on the enemy position eastward to Rheims depending on how far the Germans would have to retire before reaching a new defensive line, which most probably would be through Nesle and based on Ham.

Field Marshal Haig reports that since last Thursday the allies have captured 28,000 prisoners and 600 guns. Several thousand machine guns and much material also were taken.

Aerial Activity Intense.

Aerial activity continues intense. German airmen are engaging the allied fliers in combat to prevent reconnaissance and bombing work. Forty-eight German machines were accounted for Monday and 74 tons of bombs dropped oi, military targets behind tne enemy lines. Berlin reports the shooting down of 29 allied airplanes.

Berlin reports that all allied efforts made were repulsed, especially attacks by strong French forces between the Matz and the Oise.

Patrol activity continues in Flanders, but there are no indications that heavy fighting is about to begun there. Along the Vesle the Germans have not repeated their ineffectual attacks, but are bombarding the Franco-American, lines with big explosive afid gas shells.

It is announced that the American army which has just been organized will hold the western front south of the Marne, which probably means from St. Mihiel to Switzerland, where the allied positions are near the German border or beyond it.

Much material damage was done at Frankfort and Karlsruhe by recent British aerial bombardments, according to reports received in Switzerland.

MAKES RAPID CHANGE.

Situation of Belligerents Show Shift That Is Surprising For Quickness. WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug*. 14.—(By The Associated Press).—After the battle of the Avre, the situation of the belligerents presents a change which for rapidity and extent has rarely been approached"'in military history. Marshal Foch's strategy and the masterly tactics of the generals commanding the armies and groups of armies under him have in three weeks wrested from the Germans what required four months for them to obtain at a cost variously estimated at from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men.

The immediate result of the counter offensives which will have the greatest bearing on subsequent operations are the clearing of the Chateau-Thierry pocket, endintr the menace to Epernay and Paris the liberation of Montdidier, ending the menace to Amiens the freeing of the importAit eastern railroad line from Paris to Chalons and the equally important northern line from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the allies means of communication which give them enormously greater ease In future movements of troops.

Line To Stand Firm

These successes render impossible any rupture of the line which would separate the French armies of the center from those to the east, or a ruptn-o

0

junction between the

French and British. The most disastrous consequence to the Germans, aside from the heavy losses they sustained in men and material is the collapse of their plan to drive a wedge into the allied lines and the subsequent widening and joining which would have threatened general dislocation.

Marshal Foch's strategy in reducing the salient wedsres wrested the initiative in operations from the Germans, at once obliging them either to order a general retreat to a strong line such as the Somme, or to engage reserves. The enemy adopted the second alternative, which having: failed, makes eventual retirement immensely more difficult.

Hold Important Positions. The first phase of the battle of the Avre finds the French with a footing upon Thiescourt plateau, west of Noyon, which has vital importance in future operations. The Germans must either recapture the position at high cost if he can, or abandon Noyon. which means the fall of Royse and Lassigny which already are under imminent menace of capture.

The disaster which menaced Gen. Von Hutier's army has been averted for the moment. The few narrow passages which now are open for the withdrawal of his stores are so harassed by the bombs of aviators and the fire of heavy artillery that prompt escape Is impossible, rendering probable a desperate effort by the Germans to cling to their 1914 line.

and immediate need. There will be no need to draft nurses if they understand. The traditions of the nursing profession still lives and Florence Nightingale is still pointing the way. "In order to meet this need, we will have to strain every nerve, to work unceasingly for the duration of the war. Do you realize there is no local need eqiial to this need? No call has ever come to nurses which will give them the opportunity for experience and the wonderful chance of service which this gives. "The salary of the. nurses in cantonments has been increased from $50 to $60 and for foreign service from $60 to $65. The ruling which debarred nurses having brothers in the service from going abroad has been rescinded. The nurses are being better housed and cared for in every way.

**T£tNESDAY,

Many persons believe there is no danger in using gasoline so long as it is not near a fire or flame this is a grave mistake. STATIC ELECTRICITY starts more gasoline fires than any other cause. STATIC ELECTRICITY is caused by the friction ol rinsing or rubbing a garment in gasoline, just as STATIC ELECTRICITY is generated by running a comb through the hair, rubbing a cat's back or rubbing the feet vigorously on the carpet.

Explosions frequently ©ccur from electric sparks when the garment is. removed from the gasoline, and such sparks often form when one lets loose of or takes hold of the garment while in the fluid.

In our properly equipped cleaning plant every precaution is taken to prevent explosions from STATIC ELECTRICITY. The machines have attache ments to carry all electricity off to the earth. Open flues, and floor-line openings are built in cleaning rooms and forced ventilation by means of exhaust fans is provided. Live steam is also ready with quick-opening valves in each cleaning room to extinguish any possible fire.
