SOB WHEN
THE CZAR
SPEAKS
100.000 Gather at Winter
Palace for Religious Services.
Wave of Exaltation at Capi
tal. Priests Read Declara
tion of War.
St. Petersburg.—This city Is passing j
through a historic period.
When It became known yesterday that
a special service of prayers was to be
celebrated at the winter palace an ex
traordinary wave of exultation passed
over the capital. Hours before the ap
pointed time, a crowd of 100.000 gathered
bearing flags, tanners, portraits of the
emperor and placards with patriotic In
scriptions.
Tremendous Ovation.
When the imperial yacht with the em
peror and his family arrived from Pe
terhof at 4 o'clock in the afternoon they
received a tremendous ovation, the peo
ple all kneeling and hurrahing as the im
perial party passed to the palace.
When their majesties had taken their
places for the service, the priest read
th© declaration of war, a te deum was
sung for victory for the Russian arms
and their majesties venerated the hclv
cross and the ikon.
To Desired End.
The emperor then addressed the repre- i
sentatives of the army and navy in a
brief speech expressing the calm dignity
with which Russia had received the dec
laration of war and the conference of
the nation that the war would be carried*
to the desired end.
“I her© declare solemnly,” the emperor
said, “that I will not make peace while
a single soldier of the enemy remains
on Russian soil.”
His Majsty concluded with words of ,
encouragement to the army and by in
voking a blessing on their efforts.
that the United States Steel Corpora
tion was ready to offer the services
of about thirty ships to carry Ameri
can exports abroad and bring Ameri
cans from Kurope. The report is be
ing investigated.
Secretary Daoiels said today that
should it be necessary to send ships
to bring away stranded Americans, the
government probably would charter
commercial ships. He explained he
had not considered the advisability of
using warships as refuge vessels and
had received no request from the state
department for the diversion of any of
the naval craft to that purpose.
Secretary Daniels thinks It would
be more feasible to charter commercial
lines because naval vessels, except
transports, ar not adapted to carry
ing passengers.
TO SAVE EYES
Is the Object of This Free Pre
scription—Try It if Your
Eyes Give You Trouble.
Thousands of people suffer from eye
troubles, hern use they do not know what
to do. They know some good home rem
edy for every other minor ailment, but
none for their eye troubles. They neg
lect their eyes, because the trouble is
not sufficient to drive them to an eye
specialist, who would, any way. charge
them a heavy fee. As a last resort they
go to an optician or to the five and ten
cent store, and often-timeß get glasses
that they do not need, or which, after
being used two or three months, do
their eyes mo r e injury than good. Here
is a sirro'e prescription that every one
should use:
b grains Optona. (1 Tablet)
2 ounces Water.
Use three or four times a dny to bathe
the eyes. This prescript on keeps the
e>es clean and quickly overcomes in
flammation and Irritation. Weak, wat-
work-strained eyes, granular lids
and other similar troubles are greatly
benefited and often-tlmes cured by Us
use. Many who wear glasses have dis
carded them after using it for a few
weeks It is good for the eyes, and will
not injure the most sensitive eyes of an
infant or the .weed. Any druggist can
fil this prescription promptly. Try it,
It. and know for once what real eye
comfort is.

Loud Cheering.
This part of the speech was re
ceived with loud cheering.
Toward the close of his speech, Sir
Edward Grey said:
‘‘We must be prepared and we are
prepared tg face the consequences of
using all our strength at any moment
—we know not how’ soon—in order to
defend ourselves.”
The foreign secretary stated that the
British fleet had mobilized and the
mobilization of the army was taking
place, but that no arrangements had
yet been made to send an expedition
abroad. He continued:
Defenseless.
“The French fleet is in the Mediter
ranean and the northern coast of
France Is defenseless. If a foreign
fleet engaged in war against Franveers of all the parties.
