Germany Loses in Test.

The hour of the practical test came, and
Germany lost. The war plans devised by
German military genius, the forts built
by German military engineers, the tactics
invented by German strategists, the guns
constructed by Germany's Ramon
Loenig'' Krupp, all have been weighed In
the balance and been found lighter than
those of the arch-enemy across the
VoSges.
The Balkan war has given a death
blow to German militarism. and robbed
II Of it's prestige, which was its strongest
weapon. And once the fear of the mon
Ster has disappeared from the minds of
the Germans they will no longer permit
themselves TO be dominated by 1t. This is
why the war in the far-away Balkans may
mark the beginning of a new social era
In Germany. which il will surely do un-
less the smaller conflict is followed by a
greater European one. in which Germany
becomes involved.
Only a little more than a month has
passed since little Montenegro defied the
powers and declared war against the
Turkish colossus. and her example was
followed by Bulgaria, Servia and Greece,
but already the instruments of the Euro
pean concerts have changed their tunes
The despised Balkan states are praised
as the greatest fighters since the days of
Napoleon. they are called the Japanese
OF Europe, and nothing is heard about
status quo. But those who believe that
this praise is an unselfsh outburst of
spontaneous enthusiasm are greatly mis-
taken. The cat s-paws have raked the
chestnuts out of the fire, and now the
powers are stroking the backs Of the
cats. who are expected to purr amiably
and stand aside while the powers eat the
Shestnuts.

little Balkan states among the high ofn-
cials whose duty it is to mold British
foreign politics. Nothing is as distaste-
full to British government official as
undue haste, and these hotheaded Bull
garians Servians, Greeks and Montene-
grins have really failed to show due con-
sideration to our poor statesmen oy the
breathless way in which they have drtv-
en- the Turks from defeat to defeat. The
result is that there is a lot OF soreiy
puzzled and bewildered statesmen tear
ing their hair in Downing street. for now
are they to shape any British policy
when they do not know where they are
and when no day passes without the
most surprising events happening?
At first Downing street looked upon
"the little war with the greatest un-
concern, prepared to continue acting the
part of Turkeys big unseifish friend
when the Balkan League had been de-
feated and ready to play its fiddle in the
European concert to the tune of status
quo When the French premier, M. Poin-
lated his plan to solve the Balkan ques-
ton as far as possible without bloodshed
Downing street held back in spite of the
entente cordiale, but since then 1t has
been in constant and lively communica-
tion with the other great powers. who
Immediately. in face of great danger,
seemed to forget all quarrels and dim
culties. Great Britain and Germany
are freely interchanging views on the
situation. and even France and Germany
are in close and constant communication.
The question before the powers seems
for the moment to be not whether ter
ritory shall be taken from Turkey, or
reforms enforced on Turkey, but wheth-
er conquered territory should be taken
away from the Balkan League, whose
members have risked and dared so much,
and hitherto shown so much efficiency. 1t
is one thing to take territory from Tur-
key. There the powers could never come
to an agreement. But it is quite another
thing to give back to Turkey territory
which has been conquered from her. 1t
is satisfactory to know that no power
has yet proposed that that course of ac-
tion should be pursued.

Turkey a Good Customer.

No country in the world has taken more
advantage of Germany's Willingness to
lend her army officers as army instruc-
German tactics been more carefully
drilled into the brains of officers and
men, nor German ideas carried out to the
smallest detail in the construction OF
forts and laying out lines of defense than
in Turkey. No country has more faith
fully bought all the guns that German
gun manufacturers could spare.
For years German military men and
diplomats have foreseen the war which
is now raging, and have supplied Turkey
with a detailed plan of mobilization and
attack. Whenever it happened to come.
this war was to prove to all the world
the undeniable supremacy Of German
military methods. tactics. ideas and war
material. Without the cost of a drop of
German blood nor a mark of German
into the hearts of all Frenchmen, smart
ing under the memory of the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine. and show them by an
object lesson what they might expect IL
they dared enter into night with the
armies of the kaiser.
The French took up this silent challenge
and the countrys most brilliant general
visited King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, went
over the prospective battlefelds with him
and set his brain to work TO outline
plan OF campaign to be pitted against that
of Field Marshal Won der GoltZ, while the
great French gun factories of Schneider
Creuznot and Schneider-Canet strained
every nerve TO turn out guns superior to
those of the great German Krupp, and
these guns were supplied to the Balkan
states at the lowest possible prices.

APPROACHING
BADNESS
MAY BE CHECKED BY USING
HERpICIDE.

The above expression is one which
is uscd frequently in connection
aetly what is meant by II in each in
stance Is a question Raldness is
not disease and hence, does not
permit OF cure, 1t is result in
variahly to be traced to the dandrufr
germ and If the condition has be-
come chronic, that is, if there is
complete atrophy Of the hair fol-
ncles. cure is absolutely impos-
sible
Approaching badness, seen in
falling hair, may always be checked
and if the hair follicles are not a.,
rophled the hair may be induced
again 10 grow
This is accomplished by regular
apnlicat;ons Of Newbros Herpicide
which cleanses the scalp and kills
the dandruf germ The destruction
Of the germ does away with the ae.
cumulations Of scarf skin and thus
eliminates the most common enemy
to beautiful hair
Soft. glossy fluffy hair cannot grow
on an ash heap. The scalp must be
kept clean and free from dandruff.
The best remedy for doing this is
Newhro's Herpicide which receives
the highest endorsements from pro-
tessional men, the stage and the best
people everywhere.
Newbros Hcrpicide in soc and
81 90 sizes Is sold by all dealers
who guarantee 1t to do all that Is
claimed. If you are not satisfied
your money viii be refunded.
Applications obtained at all first

that by July 1st another conference
