2 CHILDHEN HATE OIL, CALOMEL AND PILLS “California Syrup of Figs” best for tender stomach, liver, bowels Look back at your childhood days Remember the “dose” mother insisted on —castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it’s different. Moth ers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take It; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs.” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits soM her*. See that it is made by “California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with oontempt.—(Advt.)

Two employes have not been ac counted for. Colonel Montgomery, commandant of the arsenal, would make no statement regarding the cause of the explosion. Among the workers, the first report was that a six-inch shell into which powder was being pressed in the high explosive building—R. A. house No. 7 exploded. A later explanation was that a work man droped a three-inch shrapnel shell which exploded when the percussion cap struck the floor, throwing shrapnel tn all directions. The two bodies have not been identi fied. One was in a condition which will .prevent identification. The missing were Edward Batsell and a janitor named Fox. The buildings destroyed were two R. A., or artillery assembling houses, numbers 7 and 5. and three I. X., or dry houses. The R. A. houses are houses in which high explosives are handled and the loading of big shells is part of the work carried on. The I. X. houses are those in which powder, guncotton and fuses are dried. All the buildings were frame except R. A. house No. 7, a new brick struc ture. Oscar Wistner, Jr., who with his sis ter Clare, was at work filling shells in the loading room in plant R. A. 2. told this story of the accident: “Suddefily there was a blinding flash and a terrific explosion which threw us to the ground. When the shock'was over there was a mad stam pede for exits. I was trampled upon by several men and I know many oth ers were in a like predicament. “I got out of the crush and searched for my sister. Flames were shooting about in many directions. Girls ocream ed. many fainted, while others were moaning from Injuries. I found my sister covered by a mass of wreckage and dragged her, unconscious to safety.” Acording to Wistner, shrapnel flew in all directions through the crowded workroom. He says it is miraculous that so many escaped unwounded. Affecting scenes occurred when ter rified mothers, wives and sisters, hud dled in crowds about the arsenal gates, and soaked to the skin by the rain which fell throughout the night, greet ed their loved ones, whom they had feared had been buried beneath the blazing wreckage. Nineteen of the injured were treat- Ai at a near-by hospitals. One is ex pected to die. Later all but five of the Injured were able to go to their homes. None of those hurt was able to give a coherent account of what happened. Maryland troops are guards in the ar senal and no one was permitted to en ter the government reservation. Today’s explosion was the second fa tal one to occur within the past five months. Two men were killed by the bursting of a shrapnel fuse in the hlgn explosive buildings last April. Three Investigations were under way soon after today's explosion, in which federal officials, the police and coro ner participated. Left Wife in Buggy, Stepped Aside and Blew Out His Brains (Special Dispatch to The Journal ) HOPKINSVILLE. Ky.. Sept. 7—El bridge C. Cayce, about fifty, a wealthy farmer, committed suicide about noon by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. He was on his way to town with his wife, but left the buggy about three'miles from town and. stepping aside, fired the fatal shot. He fell on the roadside, death being instantaneous. Mr. Cayce had seemed to be troubled of late and was despondent. A short time before reaching the spot where he shot himself he met Dr. T. A. Tate. He stopped the physician and told him he was the last man who would ever see him alive. The physician attached no serious importance to the remark.

GERMAN WAfi CRAFT ROUTED BY RUSSIANS IN THE>F OF RIGA Submarine and Trawlers in Orbensk Sound Also Forced to Retire by Russian Coast Batteries VIENNA, Sept. 8. —(Via London.) In the Hermada sector on the front northwest of Trlest, the Austrians have recaptured ground gained by the Ital ians. the war office announces in an un dated official statement from the war of fice. The statement says the Italians can no longer boast of having gained a yard of ground. Up to the present time, according to the announcement, the Austrians have taken more than 6.000 prisoners In the Hermada region. « According to the announcement, the Austrians pressed back the Italians from Monte San Gabriele, northeast of Gorizia. The Italians are said to have fled. 30,000 Prisoners Are Taken by the Italians ROME, Sept. B.—Since August 19, whin General Cadorna's offensive start ed. 30,671 prisoners have been taken by the Italians, including 858 officers, according to official statistics today. Russian Coast Batteries Drive Off German Craft PETROGRAD, Sept. B.—German war craft have again been sighted in the Gulf of Riga and have been shelled by the Russian coast batteries, the war of fice announces. Russian torpedo boats discovered a German submarine and en emy ships, apparently trawlers, were observed in Orbensk sound. They were forced by the Russian bMteries to re tire. No further advance by the Germans on the Riga front is reported in today's of ficial communication. The Prussian po sitions are being reconnoitered by Ger man cavalry. The encouraging feature of the Riga situation is the seeming firm ness of the Russian tenure which has seized Riga's defenders. The German pursuit appears to be slow ing up and in military circles It is not anticipated that the enemy will risk much farther penetration while Dvinsk remains unconquered. A more likely course, It is argued, will be for the Ger mans to entrench somewhere near their present position northeast of Riga and await the result of the Dvinsk opera tions. According to information here, the spirit of the troops in the Dvinsk sector is muteh more favorable than on other fronts. Colonel Podjoursky, a member of the Dvinsk army committee, tele graphing to Colonel Kuropatkin, chair man of the special council army com mittee here, said that the army was standing firm, that there was no inten tion to surrender Dvinsk, and that the army committee were in full accord with the commanders. Two Killed, Three Hun in Air Raid on German City COPENHAGEN. Sept. B.—The Vos siche Zeitung states that two persons were killed and three seriously injured in an airplane attack on the town of Lahr, Germany, on September 4. Three Italian Ships Sunk During Week ROME. Sept. B.—Only three Italian ships were sunk during the week ending September 2, it was officially announced. “In all seas,” says the statement, “three steamers were sunk and one small auxiliary sailing vessel was dam aged by a torpedo attack. It was towed into port. Russians Entrenching at Riga, Berlin Reports BERLIN, Sept. B.—(Via London.) — The Russians are hastily entrenching in the Riga region to the west of Ven den, says today's army headquarters statement. German cavalry is in touch with them on this new line and ad vanced Russian detachments have been pushed back. Chaume Wodo Is Taken by French With Quick Blow LONDON. Sept. B.—General Petain's French troops struck a sudden and over waelming How out of Verdun today, capturing all of Chaume wood and driv ing the crown prince s troops still far ther from the fortress city. The Berlin official statement tonight admitted rains in thts section, but in sisted the fighting was still progressing. The Paris statement declared simply: “We captured the entire* Chaume wood.” Field Marshal Haig's night report in dicated a marked slackening of the Ger man artillery fire reported during the past few daytl. "Around Hargicourt the enemy’s artil lery was more active.” he declared, j,“Elsewhere hostile artillerying was less ' marked. The Infantry was! not in ac tion.” The Berlin official statement tonight bles in from ten to fourteen days' time sim ply by taking iron in the proper form. And thia after they had in some cases been doctor ing for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do .<u any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prise fighter uas won the day simply because they knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr. K. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not in jure the teeth, snake them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, It is a most potent remedy. In nearly all forms of indiges tion, aa well as for nervous, run-down condi tions.

They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It la dispensed in this city by ail good druggists.—(Advt.) DEMON RUM PARALYZED, MAY NEVER RECOVER Old Boy Ceased Cerebral Fer mentation Last Night and Sudden End Is Expected WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. —Demon Rum suffered a stroke of paralysis at his home in the United States at 11 p. m. last night. Specialists predict that ne cannot recover. He ceased cerebral fer mentation as the clock struck 11, and is expected to linger on for about two years and die. His distilleries through out the land have either closed their doors or gone into other lines. In other words, last night at 11 o'clock whisky manufacture ceased in the United States under the provisions of the food control law and millions of bushels of grain heretofore used in making that form of drink will be diverted to food. Importation of whisky also is forbidden hereafter. Just how much grain will be added to the food supplies as a result is not determinable, but experts say about 100,000,000 bushels are used by the dis tilleries each year, of which about 40,- 000,0000 bushels are used in whisky manufacture. Customs officials throughout the country will seize all importations of spirituous liquors hereafter reaching the United States. Officers of the in ternal revenue bureau throughout the country will see that distilleries make no more whisky. Stocks of whisky in the country un doubtedly are larger than they ever have been, because of active preparation by distillers and dealers in anticipation of the law. Distillers have been work ing at utmost capacity and imports have been larger than ever. Officials estimate the quantity of whisky in bond in warehouses to be bond will bring the quantity on hand in the country up to about 230,000,000 gallons. The annual production of whis ky has been about 116.000,000 gallons. ■ ■— » Jeffersonian Seeking Readmission to Mails Through Adjustment BT RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—Sam Olive, of Augusta, and J. Gordan Jones, of Cordele, representing The Jeffersonian, are in Washington seeking to effect an adjustment with the government where by the paper may be re-admitted to the United States mails. It is not known what, if any, encouragement, they have received. The Jeffersonian, published at Thom son by Thomas E. Watson, recently was denied second class mail privileges be cause of publication of propaganda in terpreted by officials as not_ being in accord with the -country’s war policies. Federal Judge Emory Speer, of the southern district of Georgia, upheld the action of postal authorities in debar ring the publication from malls. As a counter action Watson last week purchased another paper at Thomson, I‘ne Guard, with which, it Is generally understood, he will attehipt to replace The Jeffersonian sohuld his attorneys fall to teach an agreement with the gov ernment by which the latter may be re admitted to the mails. declared a French attack northeast of Bezonvaux had failed. Offensive in Russia Seems to Be Halted NEW YORK, Sept. B.—(By Foreign Cables from European Capitals.)—Rus sia’s probable new line in Livonia, since the retreat from the Riga region under von Hindenburg's pressure, now is be ginning to define itself. The retro grade movement ’Which has been show ing signs of slackening for the past day or two appears to have been defi nitely halted in some sectors, at least/ where the Russians are digging in and evidently preparing to make a stand if attacked. Berlin's report reveals this state of affairs more clearly than Petrograd's. Judging from the German statements the Russian line extends from west of Kokenhusen, on the Dvina, about 12 miles east of Friedrichstadt and ap proximately fifty-five miles southeast of Riga, nprthw’est through the town of Bending, twelve miles west of Ven den. and On the coast of the Gulf of Riga. Thus the front northwest of Dvinsk instead of curving sharply to the west just beyond Jacobstadt, as it did to take in the Riga district, now leaves the Dvina there and continues on in almost a straight line to the coast. On both the German and Russian sides the opinion seems to prevail that the new German invasion will not pro ceed much further this fall. The ap proach of the wet and cdld seasons militates against a real push toward Petrograd at present, it is held, even if Von Hindenburg had the men to spare for the difficult task. On the Austro-Italian front General Cadorna seems to be meeting with re sistance even more desperate than be fore in his drive toward Triest. An Austrian report, the date of which is uncertain, claims a decided reverse for the Italians in their effort to hold the ground won in the Carso region where Austria’s best troops are massed for protection of her great seaport. The driving of the Italians from the vl clnty of Monte San Gabriele northeast of Gorizia is also claimed. There has been no hint of such set backs in the Italian reports of the past, day or two and the Austrian statement possibly refers to ground admittedly lost temporarily by the Italians a few days ago in both these sectors. The tone of the recent Italian statements has been confident, especially as re gards the fighting in the San Gabriele region where an Italian victory virtual ly was predicted. It is conceded, how ever, that the Italian troops are engag ed in an extraordinarily severe strug gle with tremendous obstacles to ov ercome before any success they win can be said to have become decisive. On the Franco-Belgian front Verdun seems again to be delevolping into the chief center of interest. Berlin, at least, indicates a serious effort by the French to renew their successes in this battle-scarred area. The French launched an attack on a wide front Friday night, centering their effort east of the Meuse between Samogneux and the Beaumont-Vacherauville road, says the German war office, which claims a repulse Inflicted upon Gener al Petain. Saturday morning, however after drum fire, the attack was renew ed, the front of the drive apparently being extended as far to the east as Bezonvaux, the point on which the' French right flank hinged in the recent successful offensive. In none of <he other war theaters have there been actions of wide impor tance, so far as the current reports re veal. ARGENTINATD DENISND RECALL OF LUXBURG IS RESULT OF PLOT South American Republic May Also Call Upon Sweden to Withdraw Minister at Bue nos Aires BUENOS AIRES, Sept. B—Demand upon Berlin for the recall of Count Lux burg, German minister to Argentina, as a resul of the disclosures through inter ception by the United States of mes sages he transmitted through the Swed ish foreign office, was inevitable here tonight. It is also considered possible that Sweden will be asked to recall her min ister. Publication of dispatches carrying the official announcement of the messages transmitted by Luxburg in which he referred to the acting foreign min ister of Argentina as a 'notorious ass,” and advised ignoring Argentina's de mands in the U-boat controversy cre ated intense excitement here. Count Luxburg and the Swedish min ister were both ostensibly “out,” or were really away from the city tonight. At all events both legations were silent Late tonight Swedish legation acting in the absence of the rninstr, absolutely denied that it was the medium or trans mission of German correspondence to Berlin. The director of Argentine foreign of fice whe informed today of revelations of the state department at Washington in volving the Swedish leagtion here in the transmission of certain German communications, expressed great as tonishment. Hal declared that he had negotiations with Count Luxburg the German charge, respecting the com munications, the substance of which, as described to him, were aru?arently not the same as that revealed by the text of the dispatches made public In Wash ington. President Irigoyen, Informed of the matter, said that he would at once call upon the foreign minister for a statement. After a conference with the president, the director of the foreign office said it would be impossible to discuss the reve lations until he had received confirma tion from Ambassador Naon at Wash ington. The evening editions of the newspa pers express surprise at the disclosures and declare the situation is grave for the Swedish legation here. The public at first doubted the accuracy of the re ports, but the American embassy has confirmed press reports. Count Luxburg and the Swedish min ister will demand an explanation from the Swedish legation when confirmation of the Washington exposures is received from Ambassador Naon. Amazing Inrigue Is Exposed ni Washington WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. —How Ger man diplomacy with its fangs on Ar gentina used Sweden to pass its inso lent, intriguing messages between South America and Germany was revealed to day by the state department. In an unvarnished, amazing tale ths department revealed a set of messages wherein the German minister at Buenos Aires, Count Luxburg, counseled his government to spurn Argentine’s sub marine demands, called the acting of Argentine foreign minister a “notorious ass” and even went to the extent of suggesting that Germany sink Argen tine shipping “without a trace being left.” On the face of things Sweden gross ly violated neutrality when she permit ted the German trickster to use lega tion code and send it to the Copenhagen foreign office for transmisison to Ber lin in the guise of Swedish official busi ness. As for Argentine,, the revelation shows that, while Germany has now acceded to her demands, the kaiser was advised by his representatives at Buenos Aires to reject Argentle demands, and, if necessary, call upon Spain as a me diator. SHOWS GERMAN TREACHERY. The story ranks with the Zimmer mann plot and the kaiser-czar intrigue against France, both in its insight into the depths of German treachery and effrontery, and its show of roughshod bungling diplomacy which failed to cov er its own tracks. The messages date back to May 19. At that time the Argentine govern ment had released German and Aus trian ships—and in the German lan guage—“there has been a great change in public feeling,” because of settle ment of the Monte Portegido sinking In the same breath, the German, think ing himself safe from prying British censors’ eyes because of a neutral’s code, gave his government this astonish ing counsel. “I beg that the small steamer Oran and Guazo, now nearing Bordeaux with a view to change the flag, may be spared, if possible, or else sunk without a trace being left ('spurlos versenkt’). “LUX BURG.” Luxburg had his spies out. They re ported to him later that things again I went worse in the submarine situation, j so on July 3, still using the Swedish . Minister Lowen and the Stockholm for eign office as transfer medium, he noti fied his home office that Argentine was threatening a breach of relations. Little dreaming his words would be published to the world, he indited: “I learn from a reliable source that the acting minister for foreign affairs.' who is a notorious ass and anglophile, declared in a secret session of the sen- j ate that Argentine would demand from Berlin a promise not to sink more Ar gentine ships. If not agreed to, rela tions would be broken off. I recommend lefusal and if necessary, calling in the' mediation of Spain. Luxburg." Six days later, Luxburg was again, busy with his intrigue, suggesting to the foreign office that they appear un- j concerned about the situation and not ' yield till they heard more from him. j LEAVE NO TRACE. “A change in 4ninistry is probable.” I he cabled. “As regards Argentine steamers, I recommend either compell-, ing them to turn back, sinking them ' without leaving any trace or letting; them through. They are quite small.” | The state department has transmitted the correspondence to the Argentine and Sweden envoys here, and they have for warded it to their home governmnts. In making his announcement. Secre tary of State Lansing said briefly that “I regret to say” these messages were sent “by the Swedish legation as their own official messages, addressed to the Stockholm foreign office.” The situation is delicate for both CASTO RIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signatun of | Sweden and Argentine. Sweden’s plight j is more or less tragic; Argentine's that lof a nation long considered pro-Ger mart refusing to join the allied cause, and now finding that Germany’s envoy was plotting against her and laughing at her acting foreign minister. Sweden appears guilty of furnishing the enemy With information—an act which department authorities said could but probably won’t be construed as so unfriendly as to warrant a break in re lations with Sweden. Sw-edish* representatives here, how ever, were “shocked” at the news and professed to believe that Minister Lowen —old and feeble—had been an innocent tool for the German trickery. This may be Sweden's official reply to the revelations, along wtih discharge of the offending official. MAY OVERTHROW CABINET. The situation may cause the over throw of the Swedish cabinet. Any way it will make America doubt Swed en’s earnest pleas that, if she can have food from us, she will not transship to Germany. Sweden's entrance into, the war would be an added menace for Russia, however, so a break against her will probably not be pressed. As for Argentine, this situation takes the edge off the “diplomatic victory” of which the Argentine minister spoke in congratulating his minister at Berlin when Germany finally yielded to the U-boats demands. As authorities here see it, the Argentine populace is likely ' to experience another change of heart toward Germany, and may now insist that the government at least break with the Teuton empire. ASKS FOR EXPLANATION. The Swedish economic mission imme diately cabled home for an explanation of the incident, in view, of the fact that the revelations tended to seriously ham per their efforts here toward getting relaxation of the embargo. The Ameri can government will doubtless insist on a clear cut showdown with the Swedes befofe it makes any concessions. The messages added another link in the chain of deceit and treachery mani fested by German diplomats the world over in recent times. How it leaked is a mystery which probably will not be made known until the war's end. Theorists suggested that either the German or Swedish files at Buenos Aires had been rifled, for the German words “spurlos versent” appeared in parenthesis in the translated version. When the German turned his messages to the Swedish for coding they were probably translated into Swedish from the German. Hence this would indi cate the texts had been secured at the source. On the other hand, the message went on British censored cables. The Brit ish could pick it off, and undoubtedly could figure out the secret code In time, though the German, shut off from direct communication apparently thought the Swedish neutral code would be free from spying. It was recalled here, however, that Sweden has been strongly pro-German, and It was argued either her own in clinations or German duress caused her to lend herself to this ruse. Sweden has done much toward feeding Ger many in past months, and has only re cently been shut off from her usual United States supplies. In connection with the Luxburg pa pers, it was remembered that British authorities at Halifax seized from Am bassador Bernstorff’s homeward bound ship a trunk of official documents for warded with the Swedish seal from Washington and destined for the Swed ish foreign office. The mystery about the contents was never cleared.

I was treated by three different doctors and was getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my health, so I now do all of my housework which is not light as I have a little boy three years old.” Mrs. O. M. Rhines, Ridgway, Penn. Mrs. Lindsey Now Keeps House For Seven. Tennille, Ga.—“l want to tell you how much I have been benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work in the garden some, too. lam so thankful I got this medicine. I feel as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and they have been benefited”.—Mrs. W. E. Lindsey, R. R. 3, Tennille, Ga. If you want special advice write to Lydia E.
