LffaiL?r:i cXl
wim me ueruiau arm ukiuib n&ioa",
according to Berlin advices received
here last nieht,
Love for the young Baron caused
tho hoantifnl Princes Sonhla. of Saxe-
Weimer, to shoot and kill herself in
her father's castle two years .ago be
cause barriers of rank prevented their
mnrrine-P. ThA harnn. Ron nf thft fa-
mous German banker and heir to one
of the greates fortunes in Europe,
dropped out of sight until hiff name
was posted in the latest casualty lists.
Fresh from Berlin and HeLlelburg,
the handsome young baron fell violent-
ly in love with the Princess. Hel
father, who had once been a riding
master and waiter in New York, but
had been elevated to nobility after ha
obtained wealth, is said to have looked
on the match with favor, but the Grand
Duke Ernst, head of the house of Saxe-
Weimer, threatened to disinherit the I
Princess if she married beneath her
rank. -
For seven years the Princess sought I
to move the Grand Duke. Finally her
baron-lover gave up in despair and I
sailed for America. He plunged into I
the swirl of Wall street and for a year
tried to blot out the memory of the I
Princess by dilligent work in jan inter-1
national banking house. I
In 1910 the old love called him back,
There were more meetings between the I
baron and Princess and. according to
Paris newspapers, secret meetings and
trios incognito through France. There
was a violent scene at Heidelgo castle. I
The Princess retired to an apartment,
a shot rang out and servants rushed
in to find her dead.

STILL RETREATING
London, Aug. 15. General von Bue
low, commanding the German army
operating to the west of the Dvinsk,
again has taken the offensive, and,
according to Berlin reports, has beat-
en the Russians back in the vicinity
of Kubisko, taking over 2,000 prison
ers. Further south, Berlin says the
Russians' made an unsuccessful sortie
from Kovno, which the Germans now
are approaching.
In the Polish, section the various
German armies slowly are drawing in
their: line and advancing from the
northwest and south to Brest-Kitovsk
nne tney continue to take compara
tively small groups of prisoners, they
mane no claim to tne capture of artil-
lery or booty, which Is considered by
military observers as a fair Indication
that Grand Duke Nicholas' armies
continue their orderly retreat
The only evidence of activity out

mces is on tne berbian frontier, where
an Austrian bombardment of Belgrade

BRITAIN CAIi'T CORNER

If Cotton Is Placed on Con

Will Hie Protest
CANNOT JUSTIFY
ACT OF GREAT BRITAIN
Washington, Aug. lo. If Great
Britain places cotton on the coiitra-
band list the United States will file a
vigorous protest and a spirited diplo-
matic debate will result. This gov-
ernment also will oppose the suggest-
can cotton market.
Tbe United States, It was revealed
at the state department today, will
contend mat there is no principle of
international law which would justify
lngiana putting an embargo on cot-
ton.
ine question of the price which it
wili be possible for American cotton
growers to receive if England make.

which, Secretary Lansing admits, is
already assuming large proportions.

I COTTOJf
SUBSTITUTE
FOUND BY
GERMANS.
Ordinary Wood Pulp Is Employed as a
Basis For High Ex
- plosives.
London. Aue. 14. A citizen of a
neutral State who has iust made a
1 tour through Germany and acquired a
large amount of information about the
industrial and economic conditions of
the country, gives to the Dailv Chron-
Icle an account of the work of German
chemists in discovering a substitute
I for cotton as a basis for high explos
I lyes. This was found m the shape of
ordinary wood pulp. He says
"H-xperiments are still Demg carried
on but sufficient progress has already
been made to enable the substitute to
b used freely and successfully. The
I great difficulty in the way of using
wood pulp as a substitute for cotton
is tne presence oi many impurities
which are not found in the latter com
modity. The most important of these
impurities are resin and oxycellulose.
Unless these are comDletelv removed
I the resulting explosives would be un
I certain in action, and highly danger-
I ous to mose manufacturing them.
