Self Destruction By Foolish
Yielding to German Instiga

Black Sea Bombardment.
London, 4:53 a. m. —The Times, com
menting today on its Petrograd dis
patches reporting the Turkish bom
bardment of peaceful seacoast towns,
says:
“The situation in the near east has
developed logically.* For some weeks
past the influences controlling the Ot
toman government have been working
to provoke the allies Into declaring war
on Turkey. These efforts have been
GREAT HELP TO
A SICK WOMAN
This Lady Says, “I Cannot
Find Words To Express
How Thankful I Am
$ To Cardui.”
Jonesvllle, Va.—“l certainly appre
ciate what Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
has done for me,” writes Mrs. Owen
P. Wells, of this town. “Before I be
gan to take Cardui, I could hardly go
about. I had several womanly trou
bles, which caused me much suffer
ing, and were very troublesome. But
now I feel like a different person.
I had often read of Cardui, but had
in it. My husband urged
me t W try it, and now T cannot find
Words to express how thankful I am.
Cardui is a wonderful medicine and I
feel that it was a greater help than
anything I could have taken.
I had scarcely no pain or suffering
at childbirth, and I feel I owe it all to
Cardui. I know that no woman would
make a mistake in using Cardui at
♦ hat most critical time. It will save
♦ hem so much suffering.
It is my, sincere desire that this
statement may be seen and read by
all sufferers who suffer as I did. I
am telling all my friends and ac
quaintances of the great cure I have
received.”
If you suffer from any of the ali
ments so common to women, give
Cardui a trial. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, to tell of the
great benefit that Cardui has been to
them. Why shouldn’t It help you, too?
This store scores high again. Our ad in yesterday’s paper
brings the greatest direct returns from any advertisement we
ever run—regardless of size. We had more people come and
tell us they read it and that they came because they read it.
Up to this hour when paper goes to press we have had more
strange people in this store than we ever had in one day before.
“THERE’S A REASON.”
There were no disappointments-people found things here
just as we said they were. And many curious people who came
just for a look—did not go away empty handed.

in vain, as the allied powers were de
termined not to be the aggressors.
Arts of Provocation.
“They met acts of provocation, liku
the incorporation of the German cruis
ers Breslau and Goeben in the Turkisn
navy and the abolition of the capitu
lations, merely by protests. Then a
sort of ultimatum was addressed to
England regarding the watch kept
upon the mouth of the Dardanelles.
This also failed but finally the Turks
began a military demonstration against
the Egyptian frontier but they found
all preparations made for an attack.
Bent on War.
"Mow comes the bombardment of the
Russian towns. It is believed that the
sultan and some of his advisers favor
a policy .’of neutrality but that they
have been overborne by the committee
of union and progress which is bent on
war.
"Great numbers of Turkish troops
are supposed to be massed along the
Russian frontier, where the problem
of feeding them must be arduous. To
the south the Ottoman forces are be
lieved to be echeloned through south
ern Syria and Palestine with forces
actually upon the Egyptian frontier
at Rafa on the Mediterranean and
Akaba on the Red sea.
Allies Ready.
“The allies are quite ready for Tur
key. Ail preparations have been made
by England in Egypt along the banks
of the Suez canal and the peninsula
of Sinai. Greece too is ready as Tur
key will soon discover.
“By her foolish yielding to the in
stigations of Germany, Turkey has
pronounced her own doom. The Otto
man empire in Europe soon will be
merely a memory. Since the Turks at e
resolved on self-destruction we do not
regret her appearance in the ranks cf
the combatants.
End of Turk in Europe.
"The present mighty struggle will
mean for Europe not only the end of
Prussian militarism but also the end
of the Turks in Europe. These have
been the chief menaces to the peace
of the old world for more than fifty
years. Syria, Arabia and Mesopota
mia will also bo freed from the blight
ing influence of the Turk who will be
relegated to the obscure valleys of
Asia Minor.
TO IMPORT U. S.
FOOD, BELGIUM
American and Spanish Min

German Authorities to Supply

At the same meeting the premier

Barcelona were unable to collect debts
due from citizens of belligerent coun

UE HAS SEEN
The Colonel Declares That He
Has Looked at Plans Prepared
For Capture of ’Frisco and
New York.
Princeton, N. J.—Colonel Roosevelt
told Princeton students in an address
today that he had seen the plans of two
empire* now involved in the European
war to capture great American seaports
and hold them for ransom.
“It is this country s duty,” said Col
onel Roosevelt, **to put Itself In such
shape that it will be able to defend Its
lights if they are invaded. 1, myself
have seer the plans of at least two em
pires now involved in war to capture
.San Francisco and New York and hold
them for ransoms that would cripple our
countr> and give funds to the enemy for
carrying on war.”
Continuing the Colonel sold:
“I hope the time will come when this
countrv will provide that every man
may have practice in marksmanship and
some military training. It is also my
hope that we shall finally achieve In
ternationa! status by which theVe shall
be a posse com mi ta t us, w hen we can
combine to coerce any recalcitrant power,
but we hive seen the utter worthless
ness of scraps of paper and other trea
ties that may be swept aside like dust In
a windy street. A fight never was won
by pnirylng. you’ve got to hit and not
hit sofi. The American people owe it
to themselves to make their hand safe
guard their head.”
Colonel Rosevelt, after Ills speech de
clined to amplify his statement regard
ing the plans of European nations to
capture the seaports of this country,
which he said he had seen.
GOES OH TRIAL
FOR ESPIONAGE
London. 11:35 a. m.—A eourtmartlal,
the first convened in England for many
generations, met today under the presi
dency of Lord Cheylesniere at the Mid
dlesex Guild Hall for the trial of Carl
Hans Lody, alias Charles A. Ainglis, on
the charge of espionage.
The hall presented a novel court scene
with virtually all the officers except the
attorneys in uniform.
•
Defines the Crime.
Prosecutor Archibald 11. Bodkin, open
ing the case, declared the crime of giv
ing information to an enemy was prop
erly triable by a eourtmartlal and that
the defendant was an alien enemy—a
German subject, although lie spoke Eng
lish fluently with an American accent.
During the course of his tours, the
prosecutor said, the accused posed as an
American tourist and visited Edinburgh,
Ixmdon, Liverpool and Dublin. On Au
gust 4th he received a passport from the
American embassy in Berlin under the
false name of Chas. A. Ainglis. Late
in August Lody arrived in this country,
going to Edinburgh and from there to
various other places.
The prosecutor alleged that the ac
cused had sent valuable reports to Ber
lin.
BRITISH INDUSTRY HURT
ONLY IN COTTON SPINNING
s
London.— Only in cotton spinning is
British Industry suffering. In addi
tion to supplying the expeditionary
force and the new army clothing and
equipment, Russia has placed orders
for a million pairs of boots and the
British woolen mills and shoe facto
ries have other contracts they are as
yet unable to place, which could be
easily taken by American manufac
turing agents, were they in the field.
The greatest wastage in the war has
been in the motor vehicle line. Not
only are the cars racked to pieces by
hard service, but large numbers are
destroyed by shell. British manufac
turers have not the equipment to sup
ply this wastage.
Russia is not a manufacturing coun
try. and the factories of France have
been largely destroyed in the north
and in other parts are shut down be
cause of the lack of hands.

II LEHRS OLD
PIERS DYNAMITED
One of Washington’s Historic
Landmarks to Be Removed
For Reclamation of Anacostia
Flats.
Washington, D. C. —With the dynamit
ing of oak piers a century old near the
Anacostia, D. C., bridge acrixss the east
ern branch of the Potomac, the last
sign of one of Washington's most his
toric landmarks had today been removed.
The piers were dynamited by army en
gineers In the work of reclaiming the
Anacostia flats. The bridge marking the
site, once part of ihe highway between
Baltimore and outlying Maryland points
and always regarded as a strategic point
of entrv to the American capital, was
burned by the British In August, 1314,
when they fought their way to Wash
ington. Since then a reminder of the
historic bridge has been suggested by
the old onk piers.
A Century Ago. *
On an August morning a century ago
Col Kofs with 6,000 British troops see
ing that the Americans massed under
Generals Winder and Stansbury, with
Commodore Barney’s reinforc unents
guarding the bridge were less numerous
tlmi their forces, decided to rush the
bridge. Although less trained and more
poorly equipped, the Americans with
their heavy cannon fire, repulHed the at
tack. The second assault, however, re
sulted in the rout of the Americans. Part
of the British forces then crossed the
bridge while another part forded th*
shallow waters. After their entry ft?
the capital the British are recorded as
hiving burned besides the capital the
White House and several federal build
ings the .historic wooden bridge across
the eastern branch.
