French and German trcops are facing eaci other to the north of Verdum. , There have been numerous clashes or l a minor nature, probably preliminary : l to an extensive engagement in tne j .-i ' near future. The reprective positions! of the Germans and Belgians before j Liege apparently are unchanged. German forces are making careful reconaissances in the district of Hes- i i " if KoHavoH trt mpfln that I Vityc, v> iixv;u. 10 | Germany will take the offensive north j of Liege. ^ According to French reports the Germans have been unsuccessful in their attempt to drive the French from ^ ~ their position outside Muelhausen. , The British war office bureau says there is reason to believe the German Cruisers Goeben and Breslau, ifor which the British and Frendh warships were awaiting, have taken refuge in the Dardanelles. jClashesfoetween Austrians and Russia s> far have been of minor importance. I B A Shanghai dpspatfch says 4<5,000 j Japanese soldiers have embarked on transports and are awaiting orders. tA Copenhagen dispatch announces that Russian mobilization will be complete August 21. ^Several Australian warships lhave (joined the Britisla squadron in Eastj Asiatic waters. Recuiting goes on in London for i overseas service. The Cunard liner Lusitania, in her -dash across the Atlantic, has reached the Mersey in safety. In and around Liege the situation I was unchanged today. Tie Germans Wf" held the town itself, but the forts were still .Ighting strongly. The German main army in the north was reported entrenching itself on the Ourthe, while two large divisions of cavalry bad got to Tongres, north of Liege. . It was expected a general advance was in j preparation and a battle imminent in j which the Germans would be confront- j ed by tiie allied Belgians, "French and j British. Reports came through of sinarp en- j ' counters along the Austro-Russian frontier. Austrian troops were Laid to have taken Miechpv, in Russia Poland. and official announcement was made at St. Petersburg that the Russians had dislodged an Austrian force at Zaletche, in Austrian Galicia. The French at Muelbausen, Alsace, j met with opposition after their oc- j cupation of that city. A superior v force cf Germans caused tiem to leave ' , the place and take position outside, where an action was fought, details of, which ha?e not been made public. French reports are indefinite, but give i the impression of a Frencn success. iMany German spies were arrested today in Belgium and a secret wire-1 1 ' less apparatus was discovered in a j German store in Brussels. g (Fighting has evidently occurred on ?i the Rus^.-German frontier, as six i carloads of German prisoners were j reported to have passed through Vilna today on tieir way to the Russion interior. Russians have concentrated a considerable army in Finland, tius disposing of German reports of the land- j ing of a German army corps mere. Belgaria aipparently is mobilizing all Iher forces, as she announces; to prevent violation? of her neutrality. \ United States diplomatic officials in Europe have the further task since yesterday of looking a.ter French interterests in Austria and Austrian interests in France.

Committee of Southern Congressmen Urges Planters to be Cool and Ayold Rush to SelL \' Washington, Aug. 7.?In an address to the cctton growers and people of the cotton growing States, made pubdie tonight by congressional com' mittec which volunteered several days rago to seek measures which would Drevent serious consequences to the South because off the European war, declared: i "Our message to j<ru is?stand firm.: I . .t cotton ovi-y as a :u>t iKves>>ny. ?Je:ubers 01 t lie omniiitee headed 1 y S-. iuior Hoke S: villi a?'t; r a car Lu inv. sligation u: conditions u;> to ?..e present time, gave ir as their mature judgment, tliat the least possible cotton sv.ould be put upon the; market during the next 60 days, as-: serting that the agencies cf the fed-; eral government, both executive and legislature, were doing all possible to ! relieve the strain of the situation i caused by the lack of transportation 1 facilities and tv.e danger of 'facing no 1 : market abroad. They called for un- j selfish cooperation among the farm-j ' ers, merchants and bankers cf the j South for tne cotton goods and de- j clared: >ot a llinic. "It should be understood that we j are not in the midst of a panic, nor is a financial panic possible under our new banking and currency laws; and it is not necessary ?:or us to t'nrcw our cotton upon the market at prices : less than its real value/' The statement of the congressional committee ifollows: "We recognize the fact that cotton | | is the money crop cf the Southern j i ?1 J r-UiKitmn vitfll- I ptJU'piC <HiU CHIJ OiLuanuu > utvu ? iv?. i ly affects its value must be felt by all 'lines of commercial and industrial activities. "While the condition of war in Eu-1 rope gives rise to a situation which is serious we believe that it can be greatly overcome if all agencies, national, State and local, promptly anu vigorously respond to their respective duties. "Your president, the several execu tive branches of tue government and j your senators and representatives are j making efforts to devise means by j which the cotton crop may he marketed at a price warranted by a normal law of supply and demand, and not by a condition caused by the Eu- j ropean war. "The important problems involved in this situation are: Transportation First. "First. Transportation. It is essential teat lint cotton and cotton g manufactured, should reach foreign, markets where they may be consumed. ' We are confident congres vill pass within a few days an ame. nent to t j cur snipping laws W Jicu Will greau^ I facilitate transportation. (We have * | no doubt transportation facilities will | be available for cotton and cotton ^ I manufactured goods within a vpry short time. t '-''Second. Consumption cf cotton. . The European war'must necessarily reduce temporarily the demand and consumption a our-cotton. The State department has cabled our consuls . abroad for detailed information. Frcm the information we have received, we inrp confident the consumption, domes < tic and foreign, of our cotton will be much larger t&an is generally supposed. The mills of the United States 1 and *Canada will consume approxi- 1 mately half of our production, and ' the demand for American cotton by Great Britain and the Orient will not be greatly reduced. Great Britain i consumes nearly half of our exported i ! cotton. Eleven million bales of our ' J cotton should be absorbed by the ! trade, even under the most aggra- , vated conditions. "The facts should toe most reassuring and should dispel the idea that our foreign trade in cotton will be | wiped out. 11 Money For Marketing. "Third. Money to market the crop, j - ! and care for tne surplus. I "Already tfh-e secretary of the treasury has arranged to deposit in Southern banks the sum c?: $20,000,000. j t He desires this used and expects to'ic i j handle the cott n crop. During t-e j ^ ! present week your congress has pass- j j i I * j ed an emergency currency bill under t I the terms oT which, not less than j I SI.500.000.000 of additional currency i will be available to meet every , emegency which may arise. ' ; "The reserve banks under the now * < hpnkine and currency act will speed I ily organize. They will accept note.; i \ secured by agricultural products. < I ] j This insures ample money for mov ing the crops ancj to care for sue.: ! ] | distress cotton as may come upon ? J the market and so to keep in opera-, ] | lion the factories and various indus- ; ] | tries necessary for the consumption j 2 ; of the crop. J "Tie financial situation of the' \ j country ccould not be better, and ! when it is understood that the treas- j [ ury department stands ready to lend j j its great power to prevent a sacrifice ; : of tue cotton crop, a feeling of confi- i j dence and assurance should come to ^ i us all." "Fourth. Local cooperaticn. The ^ agencies of the federal government, | both executive and legislative, are do-, ! itip- all -rvossihle to relieve the strain I ?o ? ^ ? - .? | of the situation. While tae power of ( j the government is great, it should j | not be overestimated.

Croxone is the most wonderful omprlv for riHrlincr the system of uric acid and driving out ill the poisonous impurities which :ause such troubles. It is entirely iiffereift from all other remedies. It s not like anything else ever used :or the purpose. It acts on the prin:iple of cleaning out the poisons and "emoving the cause. It soaks right in. through the walls, membranes and linings, like water in. i sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and makes the kidneys sift out and filter away, all the uric acid and poisons from the blood, and leaves the kidneys and urinary organs clean, strong, healthy and well. It matters not how long you have linw n1H voti are. or what you have used, the very principle of Croxone is such, that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. There is nothing else on earth like it It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves you the first time $;ou use it If you 'suffer"* with T pains iri^yous back and sides, or have any signs of kidney, bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such as puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired, and ran down, or bothered with urinary disorders, ~ i Lroxone ;wili quicfciy relieve you yt your misery;- x [You can secure an original package' of jCroxone at trifling cost from any f first-class * druggist; All druggists ar? authorized to personally return the purchase price ii it fails in a single case. romorrow ? j j >roughly than a s ure thorough i am usinz EceDce 'h to rcake your S" ock medicine with anM tn thpir ?y horses.rcgulany and ; auu iu liicu {md it a saving proposition j cn feed.
