Professor Shimek stopped to speak Il
one man. a member of parliament, who
told him that he should not have spoken
to him. as he was under suspicion. I'm
mcdiately after he talked to this man,
Professor Shimek was followed and
spied upon for some time. Many leaders
OF the Bohemian people have disap-
peared and are supposed to be eithe,
imprisoned or shot. In Prague. all is
quiet now. but 1t is the quiet that pre-
cedes the storm. The people have not
been told of the great Russian victories,
hut the news can not be kept from them
much longer.
Britain Rules the Seas.
Professor Shimek says that England
gives the impression Of q country that
is only beginning to use it's resources.
Where Germany and Austria are
stripped OF men, in Great Britain, where
there is no Consumption. but only volun-
teers are called for, there is little
change from times OF peace. Professor
'Shimek saw war preparations in Ger
many. Switzerland. Austria, Holland
and England, and had a good chance
TO judge of the efficiency OF each. The
British fleet absolutely controls the
sea, and no German or Austrian fiags
are to be seen anywhere. The trip from
Rotterdam to London was made be.
tween solid lines OF British warships.
AS the instructor puts it: Not even a
rat could swim across the channel or
the North sea unobserved by the British
fleet"

! Iowa City. Sept 1.-THE Importance
Iowa in times of war in foreign coun-
tries, and the fact that the people OF
Austria did not wish the present war
and are lighting with no spirit. are the
chief impressions brought back from
| the scene of the conflict by Prof. b.
humn Shimek. the Well known profes
sor just raised to the position OF head
of the botany department.
Professor Shiinek vas in -alsace when
the war broke out He started al once
for the Swiss border. getting there on
the last train that reached its destin-
alton before mobilization. In Switzer-
land all was excitement. and there was
no chance TO get on, % Italy or France.
Accordingly. on Aug. 10. Professor
Shimek took chance to ge. back 10
Prague. Here he remained three
weeks. in a spot of comparative quiet
between the eastern and western bat
tlefelds. On Aug. IS he. with g party
OF twenty one other Americans, started
for Holland across Germany. The Of
fcials refused TO guarantee that they
would get them anywhere. and sold
them tickets for shor; distances al q

there was much opposition TO it: but
when the American party came thru at
the end of August. the men were all az
the front. and there was no opportunity
TO learn of public opinion.
In Prague. many men have been shot
for speaking against the war. Their
relatives receive brief notice saying
that they have been shot by order Of
court martial. without giving a reason.

IS YOUR HAIR RIGHT FOR THE

You will delight in arranging your

Of this season II you are among those
who keep their hair perfectly soft and
appearing naturally heavy by use Of a
shampoo that makes II very fluffy. Do
not take chances with some mixtures. I
have tried many in search Of the best,
cheapest and easiest to use and finally
have decided to always use canthrox.
which is made for shanpooing only
and is SO identifying in Its effect upon
the hair. get Il AZ any good drug
store and one package also 90 long
that 1t is the most economical shampoo
can get and my nrst trial Convinced
me that it was the most easily used. In
clearing the scalp and hair Of all dam
druff, dirt and excess OIL, its delicately
perfumed lather gently permeates to
the hair roots and not only takes loose
dirt but dissolves all the oil accumu-
lations SO they are rinsed out instead Of
being rubbed and secured out, as with
soap and SO many cheap washes. My
hair Is now 50 fluffy that II seens much
heavier than II IL naturally.
