What War Economy Does

Miss Maxine Robinson, a beautiful Broadway show girl, has invented a war economy which may become popular along New York's "Great White Way." Miss Robinson, in order to combat the high cost of silk stockings, appeared on Broadway and Fifth avenue wearing ribbonettes over her bare legs. She used only six yards of ribbon at eight cents a yard, a saving of $1.77 over silk stockings. The ribbons are wound around the legs in two strands and tied in a neat bow just below the knee.

White House Closely Guarded Now, Says Congressman Flliott

CONNERS VILLE, Ind., Aug. 11. Representative R. N. Elliott, who is at home for a vacation of a few weeks, which the House is taking in order to let the Senate catch up with some of its gigantic work, was passingly acquainted with Washington before his c-lection to Congress. The Washington then and the Washington of today display such differences, such changes of manner and of precaution, that anyone, who knew the city before, and who awakened from a Rip Van Winkle sleep and walked into it today, would know at once that something tremendous had happened. The something, of course, is the world war. Used to Go Freely. Visitors used to go to the White House freely. Nowadays the man who Kets into the mansion, or even into the grounds, does so after a most searching examination, and after he has made it plain that he has urgent, consequential business, demanding his going. A literal swarm of secret service men guard the place all day. At night, armed soldiers, rows of them, patrol the confines of the historical pile and nobody passes. It is douttful if any sovereign, prince, potentate or other man was ever more closely guarded than President Wilson is. The treasury, where the nation's money lies, great bins of it, holding millions upon millions, once was free to the visitor, and one of the magnetic points of the capital. Now he who gets inside the fascinating place, does so after an investigation of himself, his business there, his past and his racial ties which no pro-German could fabricate. Tells of Currents. Representative Elliott talks with interest of the currents of federal business, in and through this changed condition. The business of Uncle Sam goes ahead, and the houses of con Broke Out With Pimples on Face. Spread All Over Head. One Cake Cuticura Soap and Two Boxes Ointment Healed.

gress undoubtedly work much harder than they usually do. Mr. Elliott meets Uncle Joe Cannon about every day, and the veteran representative seems to get slightly younger as the war grows older. Mr. Elliott tells of a parable, which Uncle Joe recited lately, by way of answer to a question which was put to him. The question was why he, Uncle Joe, didn't rise up, recently, and answer a loud and sensational speech which a southern representative cut lose in the House, lambasting some members of fie Illinois delegation in language so i-u!phurous that it was not permitted in the record. Being questioned thus, Uncle Joe responded with his parable: "Once, when I was a boy," said he, "I slipped up on a polecat and kicked it. Afterward, I made up my mind never to do that again."

GERMANY BLAMED FOR MASSACRE OF THOUSANDS Irish Leader Says that Berlin Gave Word for Armenian Murders.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y.. Aug. 11. T. P. O'Connor, M.P., the Irish nationalist leader in an address on the Armenian situation, here this afternoon told of German's responsibility for the slaughter of thousands in Armenia. "I am content," he said, "to have the merits and the aims of the two sets of belligerents tested by this case. For it is one of the most lamentable facts in this whole tragic story that the German rulers have played a terrible part in these massacres I say rulers deliberately for we have many Germans earnestly interested in the fate of the allies I have met one of them at various Armenian conferences, Dr. Lelpsius. Massacres Ordered There was a German consul in nearly every single one of the great Armenian settlements where the massacres took place. The wires were open as we know between the Armenian settlements and Constantinople for the massacres were ordered by telegram from the government in Constantinople. If the wires were open between Armenia and Constantinople they were open between Armenia and Berlin. "For a generation the voice of Berlin has been omnipotent in Constantinople; at the very moment the troops of Germany and Turkey were fight ing side by side. Blames Germany Also It is now clear, therefore, that Ber lin had only to say a word and the massacres would not have begun, and even if they had begun would not a word have brought them to an imme diate end? For these reasons I feel entitled to say that the guilt of these hideous massacres lies at the door of the German as well as of the Turkish authorities. If I needed further proof of this fact I would point to the ac tion of the representatives of Ger many; to Wangenheim refusing your ambassador, Mr. Morgenthaus' appeal of intervention; to Count Bernstorff's attempt at Washington to deny the massacre; to the statement of Beth mann-Hollweg, Zimmerman and other German ofHcils in Berlin, which if they did not justify, at least extenuated this horrible, gigantic, unsur passed crime against humanity." Glad U. S. Entered War "And having that conviction how can I, how can any man who loves liberty, hates oppression, loathes cru elty and massacre, how can I help feeling that I am on the right side when I feel myself in hostility to the present regime in Germany? How can I look for hope for the Armenians except in the defeat of both Turkey and Turkey's ally, the militarist party in Berlin? For these reasons I rejoice that your great country has entered the war, has made the wise and the just and the humane choice in the war." THIS YEAR'S ASSEMBLY TO BE AS LARGE AS LAST YEAR'S Chautauqua headquarters will probably be moved to the grounds Tuesday, Secretary Wissler said Saturday. The secretary is absolutely sure that this year's Chautauqua will be as large as last, judging from the number of tickets sold, and the number of reservations made for tents, he said Saturday.

Britain Living In False Atmosphere, Declares Bonar Law

LONDON, Aug. 11 Warning that Great Britain could not go on spending money at the present rate without serious disadvantage was given recently in the House of Commons by Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The disadvantage, he said would be realized more completely when the war was over than now. So long as the government was raising funds for prosecution of the war by loans, Mr. Law told the House of Commons, the country was living in a false atmosphere. The position after the end of the war, he predicted would require all the skill and ability which the government could exercise. He added that he would like to have raised a larger proportion of the war expenditures by revenues, but he pointed out the dangers of excessixe taxation. The government at present Is financing the war, aside from aid received from the United States, by use of short term exchequer bond3 and treasury bills. The latter are mounting rapidly and about 710,000,000 sterling of them are ourstanding. Ottimet Says He's Willing to Fight Boston, Aug. 11. Francis Ouimet, western amateur golf champion and former national amateur and open title holder, today announced that he would not claim exemption from the draft. He has already passed the physical examination. "My services are at my country' n disposal in whatever capacity I can do the most good," he said, "whether this proves to be in the army or playing golf in aid of the Red Cross." Ouimet said he had received anonymous letters charging him with being a slacker based upon report that he would ask exemption. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY If All Richmond Could Go to Colorado.
