GIRLS WEAH RIBBON BANDS.
Young B'rls are now using bands of
ribbon on their foreheads, both as a pro
tection for their tresses from the winds
nnd for adornment. Tho ribbons UBcd
vary from the "baby-ribbon" slie to
broad bands one Inch In width. All colors
are used, but this new method of head
dressing Is only worn when hats are dis
carded. Tho feminine visitors' fad of carrying
men's canes has entirely disappeared.
Tho passing of this stylo is due to tho
disappearance of tho "mannish" nttlred
woman from tho Boardwalk. Articles of
nttlro are now distinctive, as regards tho
sexes. Few women wear hats or shoes
that are patterned after thoso worn by
men; tallor-mado costumes are things of
the past and the summer girl goes' In for
the light fluffy costume.

Tho sledge-hammer blows which Field

DIFFERENCES RECONCILABLE,
LONDON PRESS DECLARES
Cite Civil War Precedents to Justify
Britain's Position.
LONDON, Aug. t.
That there Is nothing In tho negotiations
between this country and tha United
States relative to American shipping
rights to prejudice the friendship now ex
isting between the two nations was tho
opinion expressed today by the Evening
Standard. The Standard admits that a serious sit
uation has arisen through tho rejection
by Knglund of President Wilson's protest
against tho detention of American ships
and the seizure of American cargoes. At
the same time It believes that tho text
of th-j Anglo-American notes shows that
the differences are not irreconcilable.
The British press has adopted a cautious
tono In discussing the present relations
between England and the United States
und tho refusal of the British Govern
men to modify its Order in Council.
Most of the papers refer to the blockade
established by the United States dovcrn
nunt during the Civil War.
The Globo declares tnat me oemanas
of President Wilson are inconsistent with
tho American practice during the War
of the Rebellion.
"We nre certain, on reflection, Ameri
can statesmen will recognize our position
ns fair in contrast with the Germans'
brazen violation of International law,"
says tho Globe, "They certainly will not
push to an extremity a position they
know to be untenable,"
The Pall Mall Gazette declares that the
correspondence between the American and
British Governments will Illustrate to
the American public the difference be
tween British and German methods,
"Wf accepted interference with our
trade during the- Civil War as a legal
expansion of the true position of the
blockade," says the Pall Mall Gazette.
"We can fairly claim that our present
policy shall be Judged by Americans with
tho tame broadmlndedness."

ROME, Aug. 4.
The Austrians nro evacuating their first
lines of defense In the Isonio region, from
Travignolo to Avisia.
In the Tyrol the Italians nre forcing
tho enemy across the rauway. ...
strong Italian advance In the Gall Imer
Valley the best Tyrolcse troops were over
rome nnd several points on the Gall were
occupied,
In the Fella River region, In Carlnthla,
the Italians took possession of several
miles of tho railway.
Tho following official statement was
mndo public tonight by tho War OIJcoi
"There was nn effective bombardment
ngnlnst the fortifications on the Cnrnlo
front In the Cndere valleys on August 1.
The enemy attneked the crest of Mcdnllc,
which wo occupied on July 31, but they
wero repulsed with losses.
"On tho night of August 2 the enemy
reattneked our right wing, near Monte
Set Uul, but wero repulsed.
"The advanced operVlons In the centre
and on the right wing continue bitter and
stubborn. Wo hao made 315 prisoners.
Although tho weather still Is unsettled,
tho advance of Italian forces against Ro
vcreto, nn Austrian town 13 miles south
west of Trent, is progressing along the
Arsa Valley. Tho forts surrounding tho
town are said to be suffering under tho
flro of Italian slcgo guns, which wero
transported to platforms prepared on tho
mountnlns south of Rovcrcto.

finally tho bcrsaglleri occupied tho Aus
tllnn positions, the field where tho kaiser
Jnegers hnd stood was a sccno of 1m
nienso carnage. Few of tho Austrians
had escaped.
That Austria will begin a determined
attempt to lnvnde Italy through tho
Adlgo Valley when the Warsaw cam
paign is ended Is tho Information brought
to Rome from several Swiss frontier
towns today.
From these sources it la reported thnt
the massing of tho Austrian troops and
guns between Trent nnd Rovereto al
ready has begun. Tho report Is par
tially corroborated In the last official
dispatches from General Cadorna, who
salil observers havo reported the arrival
of troop trains nt tho Rovereto station.
At several points along the Tyrolean
frontier, particularly In Lcdro Vnlley,
small Austrian forces havo attempted to
take the offensive, but have been re
pulsed in every nttnek.
Tho War OiTlce today gavo out n re
port from General DaU'Ollo, Minister of
Munitions, who haa Just returned from
n visit of inspection to Italian ammu
nition factories. Ho reported that tho
dally output of shells Is more thnn suf
ficient for the Italian nrmles nrid that
the reserve supplies already on hand are
large enough for a campaign of a year.
ENGLAND PLANS TO
CONTINUE BLOCKADE
Continued from Vase One
innllv. ho wns conducting the correspond
ence, that the blockade methods concern
ing which the United States complained
"are not only reasonable and necessary
in themselves, but constitute no moro than
nn adaptation of the old principles of
blockade to tho peculiar circumstances
with which wo are confronted."
Tho crux ot tho American complaint, as
Sir Edward said ho understood it cor
rectly, according to international authori
ties here was that the British were not
only interfering with American shipments
to Germnn ports, but also to tho ports of
neutral countries adjoining Germany.
Answering this complaint. Sir Edward
refuses "to admit that a belligerent vio
lates any fundamental principle of in
ternational law by applying a blockade
In such a way as to cut off the enemy's
commerce with foreign countries through
neutral ports."
The note sustained this view with num
erous Civil War precedents, which Sir
Edward maintained wero in point.
Tho note's supplement was an extended
defense of British prize courts and their
methods.
From a prize court, however, a litigant
has the right of appeal to the British
Privy 'Council, Sir Edward pointed out,
and in the event of an unsatisfactory
finding" by this body, too. It is open to him
"to claim" that his contentions "should
be subjected to review by an Interna
tional tribunal.
Tho communication concerning ine
steamship Nechea was In the nature of
an nppeal to American good feeling.
Tho vessel, bound from Rotterdam to the
United States, was held up on the ground
that part of its cargo was of German
orlirln.
Germany, complained Sir Edward, sinks
"neutrals as well as British merchant
vessels without proper regard or
provision for the safety of passengers
or crews," whereas the British "have
adhered to the rules of visit and search"
and to prize-court methods.
'While these acts of the German Gov
ernment continue," eakl Sir Edward, "it
seems neither reasonable nor Just that
His Majesty's Government should be
pressed to allow goods from Ger
many to pass freely through waters ef
fectively patrolled by British ships of
wnr,"
Nevertheless, said tho Foreign Min
ister, tho British are ready to "examine
the facts in a spirit of consideration for
the Interest of neutrals,"

Accordinc to dispatches, British submarines of n new and powerful
typo are opera ing in the Baltic Sea and are reported to have sunk a
&an transporfnnd a destroyer. A flotilla. ot enemy ibm ari ie8 in
tho Baltic would have a serious meaning for Germany. In the itrst
place, thev would 1 cut in two the trade route to Malmo, Sweden,
through which Germany has been obtaining steady supples of raw
material munitions, foodstuffs, etc. Secondly, submarines would
make it dXerous traveling for German warships and transports,
which have bgcen landing troops at Mcmel and RuMten port, in the

blockade protc-t of tho United States.
Liverpool was n heavy buyer on this
advance. Cotton merchants of this city
said today that they were not alarmed
over Great Britain's refusal to modify
her order, which forbids American ves
sels nnd cargoes to travel unmolested to
neutral ports of Europe.
Philadelphia cotton merchtnts who read
the noto said thnt there was no need of
becoming alarmed. Prominent exporters
said they felt confident that President
Wilson would bo successful In bringing
nhout a modification of Great Britain's
blockade on American shlpa.

up to 9.75, At this price Liverpool was a
heavy buyer.
Cotton brokers said today that should
England refuse to modify her blockade
order, tncre would be a great financial
loss to American exporters. The enforce
ment of Great Britain's order, cotton men
said, would result In preventing exporta
tlons being made to Germany, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden. These countries,
for years, have been liberal purchasers
of American cotton.
Edward J. Iu Mee, of tho firm of Du
Mee, Son & Company, of 103 South 3d
street, said today:
"There la no reason for any particular
alarm because Great Britain refused to
modify her blockade order.
"There is a chance that a modification
will come about later. Tho refusal to
modify the order will, of course, result in
exportation!! to Germany, Denmark and
other countries coming to an ond. The
cotton which could have been sold had
England agreed to modify her order will
not go awaste. Wo have now a largo
supply of cotton In this country and it
Is certain that when the war is over
many of tho countries now engaged in
the European conflict will bo eager to
purchase It. They will need all the cot
ton they can get hold of."
Other cotton men who are familiar with
the cotton Industry said that America
will now havo a grand commercial op
portunity in Bouth America, China and
also to get the cotton trade In the East
Indies. The trade In these countries has
been enloved for years by Germany.
61nco Germany went to war her exports
to these countries have been practically
at a standstill.

BRITISH
TO CONTINUE STRUGGLE
ON WAR'S ANNIVERSARY
Throughout the Empire
Resolutions Are Adopted
to Carry Conflict on Un
til Victory Is Won Ad
mits Past Weaknesses.
LONDON, Aug. Humility and recog
nition of her weaknesses replaced tho
blind confidence nnd cocksurencss of a
year ago, when Great Britain today, in
thousands of patriotic meetings through
out the Empire, observed tho first anni
versary of declaration of war with Ger
many. Queen Mary nnd Queen Alexandra ac
companied the King to St. Paul's.
All business on tho London Stock Ex
change was suspended at noon while
members sang the national anthem.
Tho Empire, without reservation, reaf
firmed Its determination to carry tho war
to tho hotter end. Prepared resolutions
adopted at gatherings In British posses
sions throughout the world pronounced
thnt policy. But everywhere thcio was a
striking contrast between tho spirit of
the peoplo of todny and of one cur ngo.
Throughout today's meetings rnn tho feel
ing that Britain has made serious errors
In the past, but with It a bulldog deter
mination to p'roflt by theso mistakes nnd
to seo to It that they aro not repeated
In the future.
The London newspapers sounde'd this
keynote todny In their anniversary com
ments. ' With virtual unanimity they
frankly discussed the Empire's grave
danger nnd declared that only a BUpreme,
unified, sacrificial effort could save the
nation from disaster. But tho tono of
! r eduorlajs ,h wholo wa8 stronB,y
hopeful for the future.
A universal anniversary program was
carried out at meetings held In England,
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India,
Ireland, Scotland wherever subjects of
Great Britain were assembled. The pro
gram was arranged by tho central com
mittee for national patriotic organiza
tions, of which Premier Asqulth Is pres
ident. At each mcetjng the following
resolution was presented for adoption:
That on the anniversary of the decla
ration of a righteous war this meeting
of citizens records Its Inflexible determi
nation to continue to a victorious end
the struggle In maintenance of those
ideals of liberty and Justice which are
tho common and sacred cause of the
Allies.
The Best Buy in Town
Chalmers Six-48
Seven Passenger $1925 Touring Car at
A big luxurious, powerful car
that hasn't been skimped a
particle.
Ten thousand of them are giving
complete satisfaction throughout the
United States. $1925 was the first
price. For $375 less we can deliver a
car with all of the proven quality
advantages plus the 1916 refinements.
Increased production at a smaller net
profit per ear-that is the reason for
the reduction.
Shrewd buyers will at least see this car
and take a ride in it before deciding on
any car priced up to $2000.
