Everyone here is asking: well,

however. Competent authorities al
most all agree that considerable more
time than that will be spent in fierce
fighting between hitherto undreamed-
|os hordes before peace propositions
will be even considered. The Temps
says:
There are people sufficiently naive
to hope Germany will be ready to sue
for peace after the first great French
victory. Error deep and pernicious!
The kaiser has said he would resist
to the very last man and the very
last horse and in this at least, he
is interpreting the thought OF his
people. The General Won Bernhard
in his The War Of Today wrote:
"'It must not be thought that the
first battles must necessarily be con-
elusive; the contrary often presents
itself and ones luck may turn If one
knows how to face misfortune.
"'No matter how helpless may
seem the fight, one must fight It out
to the very end. regardless: for the
political situation may change and
come to the aid Of him who knows
how to hold on"
The Temps" draws the conclusion
that Germany fully intends to hang
on to the bitter end, and that France
must realize this and act accordingly,
"if she wishes to live" France must
also be prepared in victory, it further
states, to gain lasting peace in
Europe.

edge Of the true situation than their
relatives at home have now whether
fathers, sons and brothers at the front
are alive or dead.
To praise the American idea of
diplomacy Is to exalt democracy. To
denounce the secret diplomacy of
Europe is to assail divine right and
aristocracy. The one proceeds on the
theory that the people who bear the
burdens OF war and meet its sacrifices
have right to know it's causes and
to pass Judgment upon them. The
other places the sword in the hands
of q monarch surrounded by courtiers
and gunmakers, who contrive their
wars in the dark and then blasphem-
ously appeal to a God slow to wrath
and people almost as patient to sup
port their arms IN q fight in the dark.
OF late we have had some imitators
OF the secret diplomacy and censor
ships of the old world, but with the
hardly possible that they can make
further Roadway. When Europe was
undergoing another scourge of war
more than century ago, Thomas
Jefferson entreated his countrymen to
take warning from it and ito besiege
the throne OF heaven with personal
prayers to extirrate from creation

mammoths called kings, from whom
let him perish who does not say,
Good Lord, deliver us!'''
Every CORY field, every ruined town,
every crowded hospital and every
desolate home today cries out against
war secretly planned and executed by
monarchs. II the war of king does
not end in war upon kings. no mat

Asking the question, "Can Europe

o. the London Daily News is that 1.-The

American diplomacy as Of the shirt

uncouth. Because 1t refused to en-

Eczema.

Perhaps the most common of all
the diseases of the skin is eczema.
1t is very difficult and rebelllous
disease to treat, and it shows an OBJ
stinate tendency to relapse. 1t
may run an acute course, and last
only few weeks, or 1t may become
chronic, and last for years, or even
a lifetime. 1t attacks persons OF
all ages and conditions, and can
mimic every other skin disease that
is known.
Eczema is generally constitu-
tional disorder. Although the i'm
mediate outbreak can often be
traced to some local irritation, such
as the use of a soap that Is too
strong, or the action of chemical
agent, the chronic cases do not affect
those who are in good physical con-
dition. The late DIR. Erasmus Will
son, an English authority on skin
diseases, believed that eczema was
a disease of debility, and he said
that the debility could be divided
into three types-the "nutrltlve, F"
the assimulative, and the "ner-
vous." The assImulative type of
eczema is most often found in in
fants, and the treatment of infantile
eczema is chiefly matter of
changing the methods of feeding,
and getting tue digestion into good
order.
Among the causes for chronic
eczema IN older persons, gout easily
ranks first, many persons suffer
from gout or rheumatism without
having eczema, but when eczema
does appear after middle life. the
possibility that it has its origin in
gout must be always reconed with.
Eczema of the nervous type some
times follows sudden shock, or it
may be the result of prolonged
anxiety or overwork.
Probably eczema is never brought
on by local irritation alone; but H.
is important to avoid all such irrita-
tions, since 1t is not always easy to
tell whether or not person has a
pred;~postion to the disease. Ecze-
ma is almost always worse in winter,
for the su iden changes in tempera
ture act as mechanical irritants to
the skin. Washing, too, always
makes it worse, and sometimes it is
necessary to use oil instead OF
soap and water in cleaning the
face and hands. The treatment
of the disease is both constitutional
and local; and each case must be
treated experimentally for the!e is
10 specific for thhe disorder.
