| § g s UNITED STATES T0 BE NEUTRAL Secretary Bryan Prepared _to Issue Proclamation. T0 FOLLOW LINES OF 1911 Citizens of This Country Will Be Warned Against Participation and ng.ht. of Vessels of Belligerents Will Be Clearly Defined. ‘Washington, July 31.—Secretary Bryan is awaiting developments in the ominous rumbling in European politics before announcing a proclama- tion of the neutrality of the United States. As soon as it is clear that other nations than Austria and Servia are drawn well into the conflict probably a proclamation covering the entire situation will be determined upon by state department officials. The declaration will follow the lines of a proclamation issued in 1911 when Italy and Turkey fought over Tri- poli. Announcing the purpose of maintaining absolute neutrality, the proclamation will enjoin all Amer- ican citizens and residents within the United States to obey the laws, rules and principles governing the conduct of neutrals in time of international conflict and warning will be given that persons who misconduct them- selves Will be subject to strict en forcement of penalties prescribed by American law. All" American’ citi- zens who undertake to violate neu- trality outside the jurisdiction of the United States will be warned that they in no wise can obtain protection from the Washington government. . - ! Americani citizens. will ‘be informed that they are forbidden, while within| the United States, to accept a com- mission from either of the combat- ants. They may not enlist as a sol- dier, sailor or marine under the fight- ing nations or induce another person to enlist to serve abroad. Nor may they equip or arm any vessel for the belligerents, assist in adding to the force of any ship, or set on foot-any military expedition against the bellig- erents. B . Foreign Vessels Barred. Armed vessels, of the nations at ‘Wwar, either public ships or privateers, may not frequent or use American waters under pain of being regarded as unfriendly and offensive. Their warships will not be permit- ted to use American ports from which a vessel of the other belligerents shall have previously departed until twenty-four _hours have expired. The Wwarships must not -remain more than twenty-four hours except under stress of weather, nor take coal or supplies more than sufficient to carry them to their nearest home port, nor take supplies more than once in three months, The proclamation will set forth that no Austrian or Servian goods may be captured on board neutral vessels, ex- cept contrabrand of war, and that American property on board Austrian or Servian vessels is not subject to capture. ) American citizens and residents will be warned that while they may sell munitions of war within the Unit- ed States they cannot carry them to rate; $12.00. 1 It soldiers o break' a ‘blockade without incurring “the ‘risk of hostile capture. SOME WOULD ESCAPE WAR Rush of Foreigners to Become ‘Ameri- : can Citizens. ‘' 4 | ' East St. Louis, TIL, \July '31.—That ‘war has no charms for the Servians and Austrians ‘in’ the small towns near here was evinced when : nearly one -hundred natives of the warring Furopean nations made. a rush to the office ‘of ‘the clerk of the East St. Louis city court.to apply for natural- ization /papers. The majority were under the impression that unless they were ecitizens of the United States they would be forced into the service of their countries, and many of them, after being assured such was not the case, went away satisfied. Others, yowever, made application to become citizens of the United States. Notice To Ice Consumers, We have two rates, viz: Season Monthly rate as per schedule.

The British legation was struck by an Austrian shell. Servian sharp- shooters greatly harried the Austrian artillerymen during the bombard- ment. The British foreign office, whose suggestion of a conference of the am- bassadors in London of the great powers failed to .meet with the ap- proval of Germany and Austria, has now invited Germany to suggest some diplomatic_way out of the difficulty which will meet the approval of Aus- tria-Hungary and reply is expected at any moment. Sir Edward Grey, a central figure in the controversy, owing to his strong efforts to keep the powers of the triple alliance and the triple en- tente from each others’ throats, was not able to give any cheering news when he spoke about the crisis to the members of the house of commons. The tobacco factories of this coun- try employ 90,619 women and chil. dren, British factories employ over 200, 000 women. § € SIS T0 FLUSH HINEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or Bladder troubles you—Salts is fine-for Kidneys. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eat- ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa- sionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, diz- ziness, your stomach’ sours, tongue is ‘coated and when the weather is bed you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is clondy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and_flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before break- fast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders dis- appear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate slug- gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases. | SATURDAY—The Big Day | of Gill Bros.
