7.——The announcement of the des-
patch of the American European liquu~
dron to Smyrna has perturbed the
porto and doubtless will hasten the so
lulion of the questions at issue be-
tween the United States and Turkey
in a manner satisfactory to the form-
er. The porte promised American
Minister Leishman that a reply favor-
able to the American demand for the
same favored treatment in the mat-
ter of schools. hospitals and charitable
institutions as is accorded to other
powers would be given August 2. The
giving of the answer was postponed to
August 4. but up to the present time
no answer has been received.
The porte recognized the demand in
principle, but thus far has failed to
execute the necessary measures, and
the American legaticn has now sent
a communication to the ports pointed-
ly demanding a speedy and final set-
tlement. the issuance of the necessary
orders and the officials acknowledge-
ment by Turkey of the American de
mands. There are no monetary claims.
LIA YANG, Aug. 8.—~A correspond-
ent of The Associated Press who was
present with the third battery
throughout the fighting at Simoucheng
on July ill. says a Japanese battery in
an early morning battle forced two of
the Russian center companies to re-
tire. but the heavy artillery fire of the
Russians, together with a terrific cross
fire from the Irkutsk and Yenlsel bat-
talions. prevented the enemy from oc-

The Japanese with severai'coiumns
again tried to force the Russian cen-
tre at 10 o'clock but the Russian bat-
teries drove them back in confusion.
At noon the Koslolf battalion at-
tacked the Japaneae positions in the
hills on the Russian left under cover
of a heavy fire from the third and fifth
batteries. The Japanese met the at-
tack with shrapnel, but the Russian
artillery temporarily silenced the
Japanese infantry fire and enabled the
Kosloff battalion to deny the position.
The Japanese commander in chiefs
head quarters fiag appeared on the
left, but the Japanese were driven
back by the fierce fire of the third
battery and the Savltski battery. the
commander of which received a mes-
sage of thanks for his services.
In the meantime the Kosloff battal-
ion lost fifty per cent. of its men and
called for reinforcements. which were
sent from the Irkutsk and Yenlsei bat-
talions, who fought their way to the
support of their comrades over a road
which the soldiers say was literally
paved with Japanese corpses. The
fifth battery then became an object of
interest A- battery of heavy calibre
Japanese guns were brought up from
the rear and sustained an unequal ac-
tion for some time. but lost two thirds
of its men and was forced to retire
with six of its guns shot to pieces.
These were left on the position useless.

noon the remnants of the same bat-
talion ambushed and almost wiped out
a whole Japanese battalion. The Ja-
panese made a final attempt to break
through the Russian line at 7 o'clock
in the evening biit were repulsed, and
the Russians held all their positions
until nightfall. when they retired on

MRS. GABBS' VACATION TALK.
Where are you going this summer?
To Put-in Bay? To Atlantic City? To
Newport News? To the Ailegbaules?
To the Fair? To just the country?
Please tell me some new place to go
I have been everywhere. and all these
places pail on me.
Last summer I was‘at Sulfuretted
Hydrogen Springs. It is a good place,
There is ozone. or ammonia. or some.
thing. ill the air. The atmosphere is
delightfully oppressive and I felt like
it was doing me good. But for some
reason they cut out the tri-weekly
dances the first week after i was
there. and the air seemed to lose all
its ozone. l was dreadfully disappoint-
ed. because 1 could just die waltzing.
The year before that I was at Pile-
ner-hy~the-Sea. It was a delightful
place with just lots of white sand.
But I hadn't been there three days
before the proprietor lost his credit
with the. brewery and the jolllty of
the resort seemed to wane. The fact
that there was nothing to drink do
tracted from my enjoyment of the
flat victory won by temperance, and I
departed. spending the remainder of
my time at dear old Hoboken. ,
I do not want to go to the Fair. 1
was at the Chicago Fair. They are
all alike. They charge too much for
the necessaries of life. There is a hot
wiener man‘comes past our house
every night that sells wieners for five
cents that are equally as good as those
that sell for 25 cents at the big fairs
and. besides. he puts more horseradish
on them. I think I will stay at home.

The trimming for a beau tie crepe

A fricnd suggests another use for
the carton. Silo says when she went
to school she used to cut them in grad
ilated 1englbs.tle them together with
dark red ribbon. the shortest at the
top, hang them on her desk and use
them for pen and pencil holders. If

One thin waist made of the same ma-
terial and trimmed the same as its
neighbor surpasses its neighbor in at-
.ractiveness simply because it fits bet-
ter. It is true that the poor fit of a
thin blouse is not as conspicuous as
when heavier materials are used. hilt it
pays to take pains with the fit of even
one's thin blouses if one is particular
about her appearance.
Here is a seasonable suggestion
from the Pictorial Review for Septem-
her: A substitute for a grater when
lcquiied to giale corn for fritters, is
found by running the ear of white ker-
nels over a slicer such as is designed
to cut. up potatoes for Saratoga chips
and cucumbers for a salad. As a conse-
quence, you will never use a grater to
cut. corn, for tile slicer does it much
better and much more easily.
An exceedingly pretty blouse has a
tucked round yoke on the front which
is the feature of the garment. It is
not an ordinary yoke say six or seven
inches deep, but drops far below the
line of the bust. The tucks are very
fine and very close together. the whole
outlined with an applique lace design
that is widest at the center and nar-
rowed to a. mere trailing line at the
shoulders. The upper part of the
sleeve. the cuffs and collar are finely
lucked. This front requires a rather
full figure.
