B. C. PORTER SONS s WAR WILL STRAN FORCES OF EMPIRE Lord Kitchener Makes: Stirring Ac- dress in British Parliament. 25 (5:22 p. Lord Kitchener made his first speech as minister of war in the house of London, Aug. m.).— lords today (Tuesday), He told his hearers that this war undoubtedly would strain the forces of the empire and entail big sacrifices. He laid emphast$ on the fact that his position in the cabinet involved adherence to neither party. = He said: “The terms on which I am serving are the same as those under which some of the finest portions of our manhood, now so willingly \stepping forward to join the colors, are en- gaging. That is to say, my term of office is for the duration of the war or for three years if the war should last longer than that. Three Yoars: Predicted. “It has been askéd why this period has been limited. = It is because if this disastrous war be prolonged, and no one can foretell for a certainty its duration, ‘that after three years of war others will take our places and see this matter through! “There will be serious which' undoubtedly will strain the forces of “our empire, and undoubt- edly considerable sacrifice to our peo- ple will be entalled. . These will will- ingly be ‘borne for our honor and for the preservation of our position in the world, and they will be shared by our dominions, who are now sending con- tingents and giving a sacrifice of everything kind to the mother coun- try. ) “‘Our expeditionary force has taken the field on the French northwest frontier and advanced to the neigh- borhood of Mons (in Belgium), Our troops already have been for thirty- six hours in contact with the superior forces of the German invaders.

Lord Kitchener then alluded to Premier Asquith’s statement in the house of commons that the British troops had greatly aided the French and had been able to maintain their position in the face of flerce German attacks, He sald he had sent a telegram to Sir John French, the commander of the British expedition- ary force, reading as follows: “Congratulate the troops on their splendid work, We are proud of them.” Public Fully Prepared. Continuing, Lord Kitchener pointed out that the fighting in Europe would result in greater casualties than the campaigns Great- Britain usually was engaged in, He said he was sure that the public was fully prepared to meet whatever losses and sacrifices the country might have to face and he paid a tribute to the readiness of the expeditionary force and the invaluable ald of the press and the public in pre- serving silence and accepting the nov- el situation. “We know how deeply the French people appreciate and value the prompt assistance,” Lord Kitchener continued, “that we have been able to afford them at the very outset of the war not only in giving moral and material support but our troops must also prove a factor of high military significance in restricting the sphere and determining the duration of hos- tilities. Belgium'’s Superb Struggle. “If the conditions of strategy had permitted, every one in this country would have been rejolced if they could have been ranged alongside the gal- lant Belgian army in its superb strug- gle against desperate odds which just has been witnessed. But although this privilege perforce, has been de- nied us, Belgium knows of our sym- pathy with her in her sufferings and our indignation at the blows which have been Inflicted upon her and also of our resolution to make sure that none of her sacrifices will have been unavailing. “While other countries engaged in this war have under their systems of compulsory service brought their full resources into the fleld, we, under our national system, have not been so compelled. Therefore we still have a \ast reserve to draw from the re- sources of bhoth the mother country tand the Dominions, “The response which already has been made by the Dominions abun- dantly proves that we have not looked in vain to these sources of military strength, and while India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are send- ing powerful contingents the territor- fals of this country are replying loyal- ly to the stern call of duty which has come to them with such exceptional force.” Fine Courage Displayed: Continuing, Lord Kitchener gaid: “Over seventy battalions have with fine courage already volunteered for service abroad. When they are trained and organized in larger for- mations they will be able to take their places in the line. ““The hundred thousand men asked for in the first place have already been virtually secured. “The empire with which we are at | gratifying indication DIRTY MILK MAY PROVE EXPENSIVE Clean Mik May B¢ Economical at High Price Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.—There has been in the past much indiffer- ence on the part of consumers with respect to the cleanliness of milk; too many of them desire to buy milk at a low price and do not give any consideration to quality. Dirty milk may prove expensive as a gift, whil clean milk may be economical even at a high price; the cheapest article is often the most expensive. A high- er price for clean milk may be cheap insurance against some rorm of sick- ness. In a recent Farmers- Bulletin (No. 602) the U. 8. Department of Agri- culture has outlined the main factors that should go to tavor the produc- tion of clean, safe milk. These in- clude clean, healthy cows kept in light, well-ventilatea stables that may be easily cleaned; a well-drained barnyard; thoroughly sterilized uten- sils, and healthy milkers that milk with dry hands; a small-top milking pail; a separate house for handling the milk; an abundant supply of pure water. The temperature at which the milk is kept is also an important fea- ture, as bacteria muitiply very rapid- ly when the temperature is above 50 degrees I*. The miik should be cooled: immediately after milking, to 80 degrees K., or lower, and stored, until delivered, at a low temperature. Increasing Demand for Clean Milk. An -inereasing demand for good, clean milk among consumers 18 a that there is a more general realization of the im- portance of this item.. This demand has resulted in more stringent regu- lations concerning the sanitary con- ditions assoclated with the milk sup- ply. Compliance with these sanitary rules requires additional care, atten- tion, and eéxtra expense on the part of the producer of the milk, and while this expense may not be large, it is only fair that the consumer should pay his share of the cost of improving the quality of the milk. The con- sumer cannot expect to purchase clean, safe milk at the same price as dirty milk which endangers tne aeaius of his family. A more serious - consideration is the marked increase in the cost of production which has resulted in re- cent years from feed and labor prob- lems. This increase is 1n keeping with the increase in the cost of al- most every commodity, and the con- sumer must expect to pay his portion any legitimate increase in the cost of of production occasioned by these conditions. On the other hand there is need of more attention to better man- agement on the average farm farm devoted to the production of milk. The amount of milk produced per cow is frequently so low as to refect seriously upon the business ability of the owner. A producer who makes no systematic effort to lower the cost of production by in- creasing the average production of milk per cow is entitled to little sympathy if he finds the business un- profitable. The profits yielded by a good cow often go to offset losses caused by poor cows in the same stable. The keeping of records of production of each individual in the war has called to the colors almost ite entire male population, The principle we on our part shall observe is this: That while the maximum force under- goes constant diminution, the rein- forcements we prepare will steadlly and increasingly flow out until we have an army in the fleld which in numbers will not be less than quality and not be unworthy of the power and responsibility of the British Em- pire, 1 cannot at this stage say what will be the limits of the force required or what measures may eventually be- come necessary to supply and main- tain it, Total of Thirty Divisions. “The scale of the fleld army which we are now calling into being is large and may rise in the course of the next six or seven months to a total of thirty divisions to be continually maintained in the field, “But if the war should be pro- tracted and if its fortunes should be varied or adverse, exertions and sacri- fices beyond any which have been de- manded will be required from the whole nation and empire. And where they are required we are sure they will not be denied to the extreme needs of the state by parliament or the people Darken Gray Hair, Look Young, Pretty. - Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens so Naturally that Nobody can tell.

No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

BALKAN STATES ARE WATCHING TURKEY Possibifity of Ottoman Empirc En- fering Eurepcan War. Washington, D, C. Aug. 26.—An acute situation has arisen in the Balkan states over the possible entry of Turkey into the Kuropean war, according to official advices to the American government from various sources, Has Not Explained, Turkey has not yet glven Great Britain, France and Russia a satis- factory explanation of the entry Into the Dardanelles of the German cruis- ers Goeben and Breslau. ~When It was first reported that Turkey had purchased these vessels, Great Brit- ain, France and Russia demanded that the crews of the two ships be repatriated immediately, Yesterday's despatches revealed that German crews were still aboard the cruisers, and many Washington diplomats fa- miliar with the situation consider it practically certain that should Tur- key side with Germany and Austria, Italy would abandon her position of neutrality and join Great Britain, France, Ruseia and Servia, who could count also on the assistance of Greece. Greece Mobilizing, Greece is under martial law, with her army mobllized along the fron- tier watching Turkey's movements, The troops of the Ottoman empire are quietly mobilizing without public order to that effect, Italy’s order for mobilization on August 27, is be- cause of the presence there of hun- dreds of American missionaries, Am- bassador Morganthau has been mak- ing long reports on the situation and for a time a week ago the situation seemed alarming. The governor of one of the Turk- ish provinces had threatened massa- cre to Americans if Turkey and Eng- land went to war. Mr. Morganthau | immediately discussed the subject with the Turkish foreign office and received assurances that if any sub ordinate officials had made such | threats they would be censured and | that the Americans would be accord- | ed respect and courtesy in any eventuality.
