LANSING SENDS ENVOYS TO TALK WITH CARRANZA Administration Stands Firm On Peace Plans Outlined With Latin-American Powers' Approval.

YVASHIINUIUW, AUg. zs. une laei attempt Is being made to swing General Carranza into line for the administration's Mexican peace plana. A special representative of Secretary of State Lansing is now In Vera Cruz trlyng to show the first chief that, unless he does agree, he will be ignored and eventually eliminated as a factor In Mexican affairs. Representatives of Carranza here Jl 1 tk.t Lin InnlMI H 1 1 fo 1 1 They say that so soon as Carranza again Is established in Mexico City, 1 which they believe will be today or ; tomorrow, he will make another demand on the United States . and the Latin-American powers for recognition. It is certain that any such request ,wiu be refused. The administration ; has determined that it's peace plan must succeed and will recognize only the provisional president selected by it. General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the army, now en route to Washington to report in person to Secretary Lansing on his mission to 'Villa. The state department today denied that Scott would be sent to Carranza unless It's present representative at Vera Cruz should ask that this be done. . Although officials decline to discuss the next session of the Latin-American diplomatic representatives with Secretary Lansing, It 18 understood that It will be held the latter part !of next week in New York. This, , however, is contingent on a Bpeedy settlement of the questions still in dispute with Germany, which are occupying Secretary Lansing's time to ,the exclusion of everything else. ADEQUATE ARMY TO DEFEND U. S. COUNTRY'S NEED Governors in i Conference Favor Preparedness Crit- ; icise Jingoism and Peace- ; at-any-Price Policy. t -... i. t - a .... no tugreatest conference of governors in the history of the United States in years carne to a close in Boston yesterday with a formal discussion of the nation's most pressing problem military preparedness. The leading speakers advocated a citizen soldiery to be maintained by the states with large appropriations i'rnni the federal government. It was declared that a large standing army was too great a burden upon the taxpayors and not necessary at this time. The present condition of the United States for national defense was a sorry spectacle, declared the speakers. The? bellicose jingo and the peaee-at-any-priee citizens were both condemned and a middle course of "adequate preparedness" through a citizen soldiery was advocated. The leading men of thirty states, equipped with power and authority to express the views of those sovereign commonwealths, told what they bclivcs the states, individually, and the country as a whole should do to forestall foreign invasion. Advocates Big Army. The principal address on preparedness was delivered by James F. Fielder, governor of New Jersey. Governor Fielder addressed the conference on "The Relations of the State to National Defense." He advocated a greater army and navy and development of state militia. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois, led the general discussion on preparedness, which followed the Fielder paper. He, too, advocated better preparedness. Former Governor Elias M. Ammons of Colorado, urged-a bigger army and navy. While the official program marks the adjournment of the session at 4 o'clock this afternoon, it is probable he session will continue into the evening because of the importance of the The conference will conclude with xn executive session of its members at which officers will be elected and the place of its next, annual convention selected. St. Louis has put in a bid for it. Finallv will come the adoption of a budget for next year and the transaction of miscellaneous business. BISHOP RECOVERS. WINONA. Minn., Aug. 28. The Rt. Rev.

OUT OF DANGER. HINGHAM. Mass., Aug. 28 A report that former Governor John D. Long is seriously ill at his home is denied by his son, Pierce Long. "My father's illness Is not serious." says Mr. Long. "The family is not worried, and his physician regards the attack of bladder Infection as nothing unusual." EDITOR IS SICK. ' HUNTINGTON. Ind., Aug. 2S There was no change today in the condition of Thad Butler, veteran editor, who is suffering from paralysis at the home of his eon, Charles A. Butler, here.

LOVE OLD PB0Z7T ' ALL LOVE AFFAIRS

Love on an emotional basis should sway the nature of a man and a woman and should have a physical and intellectural foundation before marriage results, according to the words of W. E. Hopkins, platform manager, who delivered a lecture on "Sex Hygiene" yesterday afternoon, to a large Chautauqua audience. The speaker maintained, too, that love should be based on a spiritual foundation that is purely holy. He also advised the teaching of children the truths of life. In part Mr. Hopkins said: "The children should be given the meaning of sex and par enthood. They should know some of the mysteries of life. Children four and five years old should not be told they come from a cabbage head or the stork brought them. "It is not a question of whether they will learn, but how they will learn. If they are not taught at home they will be told incorrectly and viciously. ' 100,000 MEN ESCAPE AS BREST-LITOVSK FORTRESS IS TAKEN PETROGRAD, Aug. 28. The Brest Litovsk garrison of 100,000 men escaped from that fortress before it was abandoned to the Austro-Germans, and have joined the Russian field forces, the war office announced today. Before Brest-Litovak was evacu ated, the Russians .destroyed the forti flcations and bridges. The following statement on the fall of Brest-Litovsk was issued by the war office today: "Berlin statements that the fall of Brest-Litovsk fell after an assault by German and Austro-Hungarian troops are inexact. "It was decided sometime previously that to shut up the garrison in this place was inexpedient. Consequently, the most valuable material was re moved in good time and the forts on the left bank of the Bug resisted only in order to allow the armies operating in this region to retire eastward. "When the movement was effected, the fortifications and bridges were destroyed and the garrisons in the forts rejoined the army in the Held." WANTS TO CURTAIL TRUANCY IN SCHOOL INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28 Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles A. Greathouse, seeking to improve conditions in the schools of the state, especially in the curing of truancy and in stimulating incentive to study, has made an appeal to all school patrons preceding the opening of the fall term. "At the beginning of the new school year," says superintendent Greathouse "a special effort should be made by parents, teachers and school authorities to see to it that all children of school age are enrolled at the very beginning of the school term and properly provided with books and supplies. Children Avho are given such an opportunity at? the very opening of school will, in the vast majority of cases, become interested and attend school regularly throughout the year, and do satisfactory work. "Children who are not given the opportunity of the right kind of a beginning very soon become discouraged, either because of a late start, the other pupils being ahead, or because, not being provided with the necessary books and supplies, they become embarrassed and , discouraged and naturally fail early in the term. COMPENSATION ACT EFFECTIVE NEXT MONTH INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28. The industrial board of Indiana, having- in charge the carrying out of the provisions of the Indiana workmen's compensation act, is in excellent shape to handle the business which the new law will bring. The law becomes effective the first day of September. All blank forms and copies of the law have been prepared with a bulletin of general instructions to employers and workmen who come under the provisions. About two hundred letters are being sent out each day in answer to inquiries, and in addition to these an average of more than fifty call at the office daily. It is estimated that there are three hundred thousand employers in the state and only seven hundred and thirty of these have asked exemption from coming under the law's provisions. More than two thousand employers have filed proof of having taken the insurance reguired, but these proof do no have to be filed with the board until October 1. Seventy-five employers, including banks, trust companies, building and loan companies and similar institutions have been granted permission to carry their own insurance. A special order also exempts the state institution which are supported by tax levy or appropriations of state money. They will carry their own compensation lia bility until further order of the board. STAY EXECUTION. INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 28. Kelley Robbinson, negro, who was to have been electrocuted at the state prison next Friday for the murder of John Roe, a farmer living near here, last December, has been given a stay of execution until February 1 by the supreme court, in order to give the court time to act on an appeal for a new trial filed by Robinson's attorneys. REPLY EXPECTED. SOFIA, Aug. 2S. Servla's reply to the entente powers'," proposals regarding territorial concessions to Bulgaria is expected today.

NAVY LEAGUE IS ANXIOUS FOR MORE DEFENSE Will Participate in Great Conference for National Defense to Be Held at Washington Soon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Announcement was made today that the Navy league will participate in the great conference on national defense, which will be held in Washington, October 4-7, under auspices of the National Defense League, immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment. Tuesday, October 5, has been set aside on the conference program as Navy day, and. on this date the Navy league will have complete charge of the program. The league will hold a morning session, to which will be invited all delegates to the conference on national defense. It is expected that Secretary Daniels ' and other prominent citizens will address the session. This will be followed by a navy luncheon at one of the principal Washington hotels, and after the lun-. cheon the afternoon will be devoted to a visit to the gun factory of the Washington navy yard by the delegates to the conference. Rifle Men to Come. The National Rifle Association of America has announced that its members will participate in the conference on national defense. Secretary Albert S. Jones, of the association, has sent invitations to all members of his organization to attend the conference, where civilian training in the use of the military rifle will be one of the most important matters considered. Assistant Secretary of War Breckinridge, who is head of the government board for the promotion of rifle practice, will represent the National Rifle association at the" con ference if his 'duties at the war department permit, and there will be other speakers on rifle practice. The National Defense league has been busy for six months with preparations for the conference on national defense, which is expected to be the greatest gathering ever held In Washington. OFFICIALS WONDER WHY LANSING HOLDS BACK COTTON NOTE WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Officials not in the confidence of the president and Secretary Lansing were puzzled today to explain why the new note to Great Britain, including a sharp rejection of her assumed right to make cotton contraband, still was held up. Secretary Lansing stated that the note was "practically completed," but declined to say when it would be started Londonward. It is believed generally that the administration is endeavoring to secure some material concessions by official negotiation before placing itself on "record. At the white house it was stated that President Wilson has been very greatly impressed with the seriousness of the situation, so far as the south is concerned, and that this is the real reason why action .has not yet been taken. He is endeavoring, it is explained, to compile a protest that will force action rather than continued diplomatic negotiations. WELSH MINERS FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT LONDON, Aug. 28 Late this afternoon the coal operators were requested to come to London for a conference Monday with Lloyd George and Runciman. The committee of coal miners after a conference with cabinet members at which no conclusions were reached, adjourned until Monday. MIXING RELIGION. ELWOOD, Ind., Aug. 28. Rather than continue their warfare upon each other, moving picture theatre owners and local churches have decided to co-operate.

LOGANSPORT, Ind., Aug. 28 Fearing she had swallowed gasoline, a physician, who found Mrs. Wrilliam Kayley, of Kokomo, unconscious at the interurban station, ordered her taken to a hospital.

PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM ON TARIFFS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2$. With the possible exception of the sugar schedule, President Wilson is expected unalterably to oppose any revision of the tariff at the coming session of congress. He has told Senator Simmons, Representative Kitchen and other congressional leaders, that the present tariff law has not had a fair chance to show what it can do. '. And he believes that it should be retained with only minor changes. Even on the question of , sugar, the president has not yet taken a positive stand. He is waiting-Investigations of cost of production now being made by the agricultural department. -. - , The president has admitted to those who have discussed the matter with him, that much money will have to be provided by the next congress for extraordinary expenses, and especially for the national defense. - But this money, he believes, should be raised by the issuance of short term notes or short term bonds. Such an issue, the president believes, would be very popular throughout the country. GARRISON RIDICULES TEDDY'S REPLY TO SECRETARY'S STAND WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. "Tut, tut," is Secretary Garrison's replyy to Roosevelt's attack on him of last night. The secretary had a statement prepared as follows: "The case is closed, and the verdict must stand. There is nothing in Mr. Roosevelt's plan to re-open the case. The personal and official relations between General Wood and my self concern us, and do not properly concern Mr. Roosevelt. I do not require Mr. Roosevelt's assistance, and I doubt if the general does. The administration has had nothing to do with thi3 matter, and Mr. Roosevelt could have obtained no authentic knowledge of the views of the administration from anything I have said or done. As to his assumption that I object to the making of strong speeches for military preparedness, it would be impossible for him to entertain a more unwarranted one. I have gone to the limit of my vocabulary to make such pleas as strong as words can make them. If he has found any stronger than I could find, he runs the risk of having me borrow them. As for buffoonery, Colonel, tut, tut, remember you are too old to cry if you stump you toe, even if does hurt too much to laugh." REPORT ON EASTLAND. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. The fact that the steamship Eastland had carried as many as three thousand persons! safely across Lake Michigan in 1906 was cited in a report made public by the department of commerce today as a reason why government inspectors raised its carrying capacity from 2,183 to 2,500 on July 2, shortly before it overturned in the Chicago river with a loss of hundreds of lives. TAKE HONEYMOON ON PARK BENCH CHICAGO, Aug. 28. Federal authorities today started investigating the story of Joseph Matushinec, 24, who with Pearl Daniels, 14, was- found sleeping on a bench in Grant park, in front of the Illinois Central station late last night. Matushinec said they were from Cudahay, Wis., and that they had eloped after the girl's father refused them permission to marry. He said they went to a picnic at Racine last Sunday. He had $50 with which he bought a wedding ring and came to Chicago. Their funds ran out and they went to the park to sleep.

GERMANY CENSURES WIDTH OF DRESES BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Aug. 28. The German government now is censoring women's dress. A semi-official warning has been issued, directed mainly against wide skirts because of the waste of material. The women of Germany, the warning says, should free themselves from all foreign, style, but should not do this at the expense of material. At the moment when all the resources of Germany should be husbanded most carefully, the women should not adopt new modes, such as wide skirts, that will increase the use of goods. Narrow skirts were good in peace times, and patriotic women should be more satisfied with them in war times, it added.

CANCER OF THROAT ATTACKS SII1VELY

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 28. "Senator Shively Is Improving rapidly. We do not expect that he will have to go back to the hospital for further treatment. He has made no plans for the future,- although he hopes to be In his seat when Mongress opens." This statement on the condition and plans of . Senator Shively of Indiana, was made over long distance telephone today from the home of bis wife's parents, at Brookville, Pa. Senator Shiveley's throat is still too" weak to permit his talking over the telephone. He goes out for almost daily automobile rides, but is treated by special physicians each day. He is undergoing radium treatment for cancer of the throat. It has been said that he plans leaving for South Bend in a week or two, but there was no confirmation of this statement. Much depends on possible changes in the senator's condition. "WAR IN INDIANA" RUINS REAL HOUSES INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 28. Real buildings are to be smashed by shell fire during "War in Indiana." the war spectacle at the Indianapolis motor speedway, Monday, Sept. 6. No stage "props" will be tolerated. Explosives experts have declared that shell fire and mine erruptions, to be effective, must have something substantial to work on. Canvas houses, for instance, with their yielding, elastic, walls, would not do at all. . Experiments are being carried on at the speedway at present to determine a type of construction that will yield maximum spectacularity. Buildings are 'being erected, blown up, and new ones built in their place, only to be destroyed in turn. Results to date seem to favor a type of house that is a combination of wood and damp straw. The former gives strength while the latter supplies torch food. In Europe there are many structures of this kind, used by peasantry, so that their employment during "War in India," will be quite in harmony with the general European note of the spectacle.

Few medicines have met with more favor or accomplished more good than Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. From a small beginning its sale and use has extended to all parts of the United States and to many foreign countries. Everywhere it has received unstinted praise. We confidently believe that it has relieved more pain and suffering and saved the lives of more people than any other one preparation in use. One or two doses of it is enough to relieve an ordinary attack of colic or diarrhoea. It has been used in many epidemics of dysentery with perfect success. It is especially valuable for summer diarrhoeas in children. Every family should keep it at hand as attacks of cholera morbus often result fatally before medicine can be procured or a physician summoned. Obtainable everywhere. Adv. For Summer Complaints.
