Correspondence of The As
ISOLATED Press.)-During the last week
colonial and territorial troops have
been arriving from England by the
thousands. A part of Kitchener's new
army is expected soon. and the huts
and foored tents now being erected in
the outskirts of Havre are said to be
for its reception.
The best trained territorial troops,
which have been over here long enough
to be somewhat acclimatized and
broken into the ways of the country,
are already being moved up toward
the north to take their places in the
reserves. As soon as thought fit by
the commanders, they will be moved
into the first line of battle.
The soldiers in the British expedt-
tionary force are kept under iron disci-
pine in one respect. and those who
become unfit for duty through their
own fault are sent back to England in
disgrace.
If officers violate Kitchener's orders
it means cashierment.
Tommy Atkins has nothing but
praise for the French people. Some
troops marched past the market place
in Havre the other day, according to
an American there at the time, and
the old fruit women held out their
baskets for the soldiers to help them
selves. This meant a great sacrifice
to them, for their earnings are mat
ter of a few pennies, and they gave
away their stock.

bladet publishes a report by Professor
Gustav Cassel. a national authority,
on Financing the War" He says in
part:
Those countries which are big
creditors of the neutrals have natur-
ally a special strength in war time, in
that maturing liabilities are readily
taken up. This is most distinctly seen
| in the case of England. which under
normal circumstances invests between
/ $50. 900. 900 and S75.0OO,O00 per month
abroad. this being the normal form for
the application of the surplus of Eng
lands balance against foreign coun-
tries. Should England now, as might
be the case, cease to make these in
vestments the corresponding amount
would stand at her monthly disposal.
This explains the excellent fnan-
cial strength of England just now.
England is the capitalist par excel
lence who can live on the returns OF
her capital. and who. thanks to her
resources. can force the whole world
to contribute towards her war expen-
diture."

LADIES' HAIRDRESSlNG
IN LONDON AND PARIS

Both cities are positively dotted
with hairdressing parlors and hair
goods establishments. One wonders
If the women of these two huge places
have time for anything but care of
their hair. There are hundreds of
makers of switches and wigs and
dozens of manufacturers of shampoos.
There they use no makeshifts but
preparations made for shampooing
only and inquiry as to the most pop
ular shampoo brings the reply that
canthrox is the best. A perfect, eco
nomical, invigorating shampoo can be
cheaply made at home by dissolving
a teaspoonful canthrox, which every
good druggist has. in a cup hot water.
This mixture cleanses thoroughly, and
gives to the scalp the vigor that in
sures hair beauty. Canthrox sham
poos make the head feel good and are
very beneficial where hair is faded and
brittle. Their use will greatly enrich
the color of the hair and give to it
a beautiful gloss and softness.

Discuss Wilson'S Stand
That lie Is "NOt Running
Amuck" of Business Men

WASHINGTON, July SO-Presi-
dent Wilson's declaration that 1--WE
are not running amuck" of business
was being widely discussed here to-
day. That phrase was used by the
President in an address outlining the
attitude of his administration toward
business to large delegation of
of representatives of wholesale or
CARNATIONS who had called at the
White House to discuss with him
business conditions and fthe pending
antitrust bills.
In defense of those measures, the
President declared that he was seek
ing to end an era of suspicion and
recrimination by putting into law
what the moral judgment of the COM
munity has said ought to be there"
The President told the delegation
that the object of the business legis-
lation which he has pushed through
one session of Congress is to clear the
atmosphere of fifteen years of Sense
less agitation" and almost universal
agitation He expressed the belief
that when the antitrust legislation
is put through that everyone could
take off their coats, get to work, look
each other in the face and say: This
is a nation of honest men and we are
going to do business as such"
