A. M.-The captain of British steam

Mexico declares that German cruisers
are being coaled by golfers operating

Six collieGs flying the Norwegian

Greece Aims to Avoid War

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-Parti-
eipation of Greece in the European war
depends upon the future action of the
now peaceful Balkan States, according
to Greek Minister Schliemann. "Greece
is not mobilized," said the minister,
land is maintaining only frontier
guard composed only of the regular
standing army. Unless the status quo
in the Balkans is changed by the en-
trance of another state into the war
we will remain at peace

Artillery Drives Aeroplanes High


Aeroplanes in turn have been driven
to nigh regions of the air by artillery
fire, particularly from anti-balloOn
guns. They now scout at height of
$500 feet instead of 4,500 feet as
they did earlier in the war.
The heavy artillery is located, as in
September, we'll to, the rear, but occa-
sionally receives the enemy's compli-
ments in the shape of shower of
shrapnel from an audacious field bat
terry which creeps up within range or
from heavy shells from the long range,
high angle guns. Much of the heavy
artillery practice occurs at night to
avoid aeroplane detection. Such guns,
which are operated exclusively in in
direct firing never see the target and
are naturally quite as accurately aimed
in the darkness as in daylight.
Desperate Struggles in the Woods
Certain regions of the fortress line
on the eastern front are heavily wood
ed as in the Argonne forest, west of
Verdun. The struggles in the woods of
Arremont. southeast of st. Mihiel, have
been quite as desperate and sanguinarv
as in the Argonne forest. The fighting
in these French forests is not only on
the surface but also is aerial and un-
derground. Rifemen and the machine
guns operate by preference from the
tree tops. Ground at the surface is de-
scribed as one continuous maze of wire
entanglements, wolf traps and so forth
and an advance is so difficult there
that the soldiers burrow forward from
the trenches and endeavor to blow up
their opponents.
The German hospital arrangements
as seen in the Argonne region are ad-
lhirable. Automobile busses are doing
particularly good work in the rapid
! transport of wounded from the battle
| field to the field hospitals. One column
of Berlin automobile busses brought
| 300 wounded from a battle in Argonne
which started at noon and delivered
them at the field hospital more than
fifty miles in the rear by O'Clock.
Seats have been removed from the am
balances and racks inserted on which
twelve stretchers can be placed.

Trenches Marvcls of Ingenuity

Between Verdun and Toul both sides
dug themselves in most thoroughly.
The French and German trenches are
marvels of ingenuity and the advance
posts are snugly ensconsed in these
shelter pits. Even the commanding gen
erel, far In the rear has bomb proof
beside his headquarters in which he
takes shelter if the enemy's heavy
artillery chooses to drop shell or two
in his vicinity.
The machine gun is SO effective in
this warfare that advances require al
most as elaborate sapping and digging
as did the old style of attack on fort
resses. The attacking force pushes for
ward a successive line of trenches
which sometimes approach within TWEEN
ty yards of the enemy. Mining and
counter mining is used in the struggle
for the trenches. Ae?oplane scouting is

What Causes Wrinkles?
What's the Remedy?

Stop TO consider what produces wrin-
kles and sagginess of skin. Premature
aging, mal-nutrition, etc, cause the flesh
TO shrink, lose its youthful plumpness
and hrmness. The skin then is too
large for the flesh underneath; doesn't
fit tightly and snugly as it used to-it
wrinkles or says.
10 must be plain that to tighten the
skin, make it tit the face perfectly in
every place, will efectually remove the
hateful wrinkles and bagginess. This il
easily and harmlessly accomplished by
dissolving an ounce of powdered saNo.
lite in half pint of witch hazel and
using the solution as face lotion. The
ingredients you can get at any drug
store. The results are surprising. The
skin Immediately tightens up, becoming
firm and fresh as in youth Every
wrinkle and sag is affected nc once.
