NOW AT CAMPHANCOCK Company D "at Housekeep ing;" Men Enjoying Climate and Having Good Time Augusta, Ga., Aug. 24. —With the arrival yesterday and last night of 1,190 more men at Camp Hancock, the advance detail of the Pennsyl vania National Guard is now com plete. Excluding the general's aids and staff, there are now eighty-nine officers and 3,400 enlisted men un der canvas. Wednesday night Battery E, first artillery, and four companies of in fantry, A of the Fourth; D, Eighth; L, Thirteenth, and C, Sixteenth, de trained and marched to camp. By noon all of these units had erected tents and set up "housekeeping." Battery A, Third artillery, Com pany A, signal corps, and Companies A, of the Tenth, and M, of the Eigh teenth, arrived at camp to-day. Ma jor Levy, of the First Georgia in fantry, whose battalion is guarding the camp, wired the War Depart ment to the effect that the troops had arrived. At the request of General Clement, the department of the southeast has ordered Major Levy to remain in command of Camp Hancock until the entire Twenty-eighth division has been mo bilized. None of the confusion that mark ed the guard's arrival in Texas a year ago was experienced by any of the Pennsylvania units. As soon as the troop trains arrived, officers were instructed as to their loca tion, given blueprints and proceed ed at once to their allotted spaces. The companies now in camp are: Cavalry, First Troop, P. C. C.; ar tillery, Batteries, IS, First; E, Sec ond; A, Third; infantry, D, First; K, Third; A. Fourth; I, Sixth, West Chester; D, Eighth; L, Thirteenth: C, Sixteenth; A, Tenth, and M. Eigh teenth. Signal corps, Company A, complete. The motor supply train, field hos pital No. 1, ambulance company No. 1, both of Pittsburgh, and the First engineers, are complete, with ex ception of Company B, stationed at Admiral, Md. In order that the camp may be completed in as short a time as pos | sible, 3,500 workmen are rushing the construction of mess halls, showers and latrines. The duties of the advance details have not been made clear, but it is believed they will pitch the reglmen | tal tentage. At present they are do ing little except enjoying the scenery and becoming acclimated. SINGULAR TAI.ISMAXS The ancient custom of carrying a talisman as a protection agalnf*. dan ger Is very common among the rank and file of the army, and strange are the things which are so carefully pre served for this purpose. A button showing unmistakable signs of having been "through the wars" is very oft en treasured as a charm, while heath er and swastikas are secreted In many a pocket wallet; even khaki-clad youths who would scorn in normal times to do such a thing wear a kaftlr bangle; while in cavalry regiments a horse's tooth is a favorite for the same purpose. To be of any use as a talisman, however, it must be the tooth of a horse which has come through active service uninjured, f > I | Lemons Beautify! i; | Make Quarter Pint | of Lotipn, Cheap; What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon Juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the akin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty 1* But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritat ing, and should be mixed with or chard white this way: Strain through a fine cloth the Juice of two fresh lemons Into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small Jar of ordinary cold cream.

Pope Believes Belgium Should Have Indemnity By Associated Press London, Aug. 24.—Telegrams re ceived here from Rome say prom inent persons at the Vatican, Inter preting the papal peace note assert that Pope Benedict believes an in demnity Is necessary for the restora tion of Belgium and Northern France and also that the Pope takes the view that restoration of Serbia is essential but did not mention it in his note as he believed the whole Balkan question could.be dealt with the more efficiency as a separate problem. From the same source it is said that issuance of the peace note was preceded by unofficial conversations with prominent Germans in an en deavor to obtain Germany's consent to provisions for restoration of In vaded territory. The Price of Peace Is Prussianism Destroyed "There can be no peace until Prussianism is destroyed," says the New York World, in answer to the Pope s peace proposal. \\ hether it is destroyed from without or from within rests mainly with the German people themselves, but destroyed it must be if there is to be peace in the world. That is now the beginning and the end of the war aims of the Allies, and unless achieved, autocracy has triumphed and German militarism is master of civilization." "Germany must be beaten and know she is beaten," says the Louisville Post. And the Chicago Herald warns us that a peace on the Pope's terms "would be a truce not a peace." Not only do strong supporters of the war dismiss the "Pope's Peace" as a German peace, while they urge strenuous waging of war till Germany is made either "powerless or free," but pacifists, Socialists and German-Americans agree in predicting the failure of the new papal efforts at mediation.

NEW YORK CONSCRIPTION OF WEALTH IS CAUSE OF SENATE FIGHT Leaders Hope to Dispose of Income Section Before Night By Associated Presn Washington, Aug 2 4.—The battle over conscription of wealth ta pay for the war continued In tho Senate I to-day with the leaders hopeful of disposing of the war tax bill's Income tax section before night. Once in comes have been disposed of, the way will have been cleared to begin the fight over war profits which prom ises to bo even more spectacular than tho present one. To-day's chief contest was expect ed to come over Senator LaFollette's substitutes for tho Income tax sched ules proposing to levy about $600,- 000.000 and $505,000,000, respec tively and Senator Hollls' substitute designed to raise about $550,000,000. The and Hollls amend ments to the Income tax section were passed over for the moment when debate began to-day, and the Senate took up consideration of the admin istrative provisions of the section, i Senator Norrls announced that he would oppose reducing minimum in comes subject to tax to $2,000 for married and SI,OOO for unmarried men. An amendment to provide a min imum of $3,000 and $2,00 respect ively as the present law, has been introduced by Senator Trammel. Subject to further consideration later, the Senate tentatively adopted committee amendments increasing the additional tax on corporate in comes from 2 to 4 per cent. Another revision tentatively ap proved without objection was the elimination of the House provision for the retroactive tax of one-third on 1916 incomes. While both provisions were ap proved only in committee on the whole, It was thought probable that the action would finally stand. Every State Wants to Get in on Prizes For Canned Vegetables Washington, Aug. 24. P. S.
