Despite the demands of General Villa and Villa's generals that Provisional President Venustiano Carranza resign, the indications today were that General Carranza would remain in the national palace at least until the convention of Constitutionalist generals or their delegates is held here next month. General Carranza believes that no other plan of action on his part would be consistent with the "Guadeloupe agreement," of which Villa is one of the signers. Potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, carrots and turnips of fine quality are extensively grown in Yukon territory, Canada. Potatoes are the principal crop, retailing at 5 cents a pound. Both salt and fresh water fish are caught in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. VON KLUCK FRENCH many, he agreed to guarantee that his soldiers would not take up arms again during the war. Renews Attack. General Joffre's reply to the German general's terms was to redouble thn fury of the French bombardment. When the German retreat began. Mitrailleuses were mounted on automobile trucks and sent in pursuit of the German army, it is reported. According to official information, the Germans, owing to their exhausted condition, could not make rapid progress and lost heavily. They are reported to have left behind many guns and a large quantity of munitions. The consummation of this enveloping movement around von Kluck's army is believed to have resulted in the recent tightening of the censorship. - General yon Buelow' -army -is- reported In grave danger.

Mcivutt s departure for America to answer your letter of Aug. 2nd. which only reached me three days ago. Letters from America are now verv slow in coming and, in fact, we get very few rrom anywhere, owing to the interrupted communications. Scott sails from Naples for Boston on the 10th. But for the war, he would have remained another two months with us. The hope you expressed that the reports of universal war were mere rumors. Were not realized TiiKt hum in ri,rneighborhood we see, thus far, nothing j ot the actual fighting. Within fortyeight hours after the declaration of war, Brixen filled up with soldiers, as it is a military post of the first class. We had about twenty thousand men suddenly poured into the town.

As soon as the troons were drilled, equipped and ready for war, they began to leave, and long trains crawled up and down the valley for days. Now Brixen seems comparatively deserted and life is normal once more, save that the entire countryside is emptied of able-bodied men. Take Men to Front. "Two of our men were taken, but we still have four left, and have secured a cripple who acts as coachman. We have fared better than most

America Misinformed. "Last week I motored to Vienna where I remained four days. The city looked as usual, even more animated, as many more people are in town than would be the case, ordinarily, in August. The feeling everywhere is very good, the people are full of courage and confidence. Occasionally an American newspaper has reach - ed us after long delay, and from those I have seen, it is evident that American opinion is' badly informed regarding this great conflict. The papers publish the greatest possible nonsense. Perhaps by now they may have learned better and changed this tone since the German armies are everywhere victorious and by the time you get this may actually be inside Paris. "The original cause of this war lies in the Russian intrigues for control of the Balkan states, which border on Austria. Servia, the least civilized of these states, is the one most subject to Russian influence, and is honeycombed with secret societies and Russian agents who use money to keep the population in a constant ferment against Austria. The Emperor has been very long-suffering too much so, for his patience has been misunderstood and only served to encourage the plots against his country. All culminated in the assassination of the Cr.own Prince and his wife in Serajevo. The evidence that this crime was engineered from Belgrade is conclusive,, and Austria was justified in sending a "punitive force into Servia. Russia's intervention followed because the Russians felt bound in their own interests to show themselves the protectors of the Slavs in the Balkans. Censures the English. "There the matter should have stopped, and the zone of the war remained confined. Unhappily, France was bound to Russia by an alliance and most of all, holds millions of the Russian debt, so that Russia's defeat would mean bankruptcy for France. With. France engaged, England most

unfortunately joined, because of her long jealousy of German trade and colonial expansion. The violation of Belgium's neutrality is the reason England gives, but we now well know that the Belgians had a secret agreement with France to allow French troops to Germanic race, wnicn is ner own. American newspapers, fed by news from England and French sources, approve this combination. ; "For my part. I believe the GermanAustrian coalition win triumpn; uussia will be pushed back into Asia where she belongs, and France crippled for fifty years to come, as she deserves."

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol ogist, just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema disap pears, leaving the skin clear and smooth. He tells Eczema sufferers to Ket from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream. For many years common bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of Its parasite-destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but alBo antipruritic, antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflammatory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often yeara later before any eruption again ap pears on tne bkui.

NIGHT CLASS BOARD PLACES LEFT OPEN

School Officials Take More Time to Deliberate on Appointments. Because enough consideration has not been given to appointments, the boards to advise vocational training at the night school were not named yesterday. Another meeting of tha school officers will be held this week. at, which time the appointments will be made. Superintendent Giles said today that since the visit of Deputy State Superintendent W. F. Book he had re ceived many inquiries from persons wishing to enter the industrial classes. More women than men have evidenced a desire to take up the work. No classes will be organized with less than twelve members, the limit set by the state board of education. The board does not feel that a teacher would be justified in giving full time to a smaller number. The academic course of the night school will be open for fifty nights, ten more nights than last year. The course will be divided into two terms, the first term being concluded at Christmas. The nights on which the school will operate have not been decided. This will be left to the teachers and pupils. Amusements "Mn. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." There is no gainsaying the extraordinary popularity of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," which comes to the Gennett Saturday matinee and night. It has proved an inexhaustible fountain of mirth for local amusement lovers. "Mrs. Wiggs" has charms that sooth the most hardened theatregoers, and almost all of the characters in the play are distinct and highly interesting types. Players in renewing j their acquaintance with "Mrs. Wiggs". Lovey Mary, Miss Hazy, Mr. Stubbins. Little Tommy and the other delightful characters of the olav. find a rnmmnn I bond of sympathy and union. It is a piece which, because of its originality and Dickenslike sweetness of humor, genial wit and wholesome philosophy, appeals to all classes. The play itself clearly fulfills its mission that of sunshine and laughter, imj bued with a wholesome and optimistic philosophy. The play w ill be present -I ed here under the management of the Lnited Play company. CITY TOO SMALL SAY AMUSEMENTS At a meeting of the Richmond Iake and Park company yesterday afternoon, several propositions made by firms who manufacture amusement devices for parks, were read and discussed. A number of amusement eople have expressed the idea that Richmond has too small a territory to draw upon to support a first class amusement park. The directors have taken no defnite action towards making part of Morton park into an amusement section. A number of offers have been made by outside persons and firms to conduct amusements on a percentage basis to to sell the devices and operate them on salaries. Are You Subject to Bilious Attacks?
