LONDON, Nov. 2O-The house of commons today formally passed the vote for the supplementary estimate which provides for an additional army of one million men. The vote was carried amidst of some enthusiasm but beneath the optimistic utteranceS of the leaders of
 the great parties could be dscened feeling that the war will be long bloody and costly The chief reason for the raising of the new army is to protect the British islands from invasion That the Germans intend to send an army of invasion possible across the channel taken for granted generally in England and already the London Times has declared that instructions should be sent out to the people how to act when the invading army makes landing Most military experts declare however that an attempt at invasion would result in the slaughter ot tens of thousands of Germans their way across. Others point out that the methods employed by the Germans in
 the past show that the loss of fifty thousand men would be considered cheap by them they could only gain
 their most desired end It is also stated that enough ships now lie in German harbOrS to transport quarter of million troops for the invasion and it IS asserted that while the German fleet engages the British fleet in the North Sea there chance that this great force could slip the English shore and protect themselves by sow ing mines in their wake and using submarines and Zeppe lins stand off the British ships. Recruiting still going forward energetcay and is hoped to have more than two millions of men under arms by summer.

American Federation of Labor Passes
 Formal Resolution to That Effect.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Repre- sentatives of the American Fedora tion of Labor today presented to Pre- sident Wilson a formal resolution passed by the Federation asking him to take charge of the Colorado coal mines and operate them unless the operators accepted the terms of med iation proposed by Mir. Wilson him self some time ago. The president listened carefully to the reading of the resolution but made no statement of a definite nature regarding it. There is a strong feeling in the country that the president may really take over the mines and so make a revolutionary change in matters relating to strikes.

 ON THE WAY

PARIS, Nov 2O-Hardly any infantry attacks were even the artillery fighting sackened considerably It is assumed from this that the Germans awaiting the out of the great struggle Russian Poland and that fur ther renforcements will be sent to the western theater should the war against the Russians continue successful As things stand now the deadlock continues but only short time must eapse until the slaughter is renewed with even greater ferocty than In spite of their opera

BERLIN Nov 2O-The military leaders of the mili- ary circles in Germany declare that notwithstanding the fact that the Russians have nine hundred thousand men operating in Russian Poland Hndenburg will soon be in position to report decisive and overwhelming victory over the enemy They base this opinion chiefly on the un favorable nature of the positions of the Russian forces on account of the nature of the ground and the fact that such large forces are concentrated within comparatively small territory.

Without a question he will take possession of the city and from there he will aid the government of the provisional presi- dent, Guitterez, who was selected by the national convention.

SALTS IN HOT WATER

the Blood and Piples Disappear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
east them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels ere
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate. then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these
impurities which often break out
all over the skin in the form OF PIN
pies.
The surest way to clear the skin
OF these eruptions, says noted au-
thority, is to get from any pharmacy

American women undoubtedly

I'VE know why some Americans
have shopped abroad: foreigners
have tempted them with things
which were not usually offered at
home.
Americans now excel in many

generously patronized. Americans

heretofore have yielded too much to
foreign competition.
II am sure American manufartur-
ers and artisans are at least equal in
taste, in genuity. artistic variety, and
resourccfulness to the Europeans
whom many American women have
favored with their custom.
The disarrangGment and partial
paralysis of European industry and
commerce afford them an unusual
opportunity to extend their activi-
ties.
II do not doubt that American
women will readily show their appre-
citation of every earnest and intelli-
gent effort of domestic manufacture
ers to supply their needs and luNur-
les, and assuredly these can be sup

That more than one American
manufacturer has suffered from the
prejudice against American made

Producers have been tempted to
put foreign labels on American made
goods for this reason.
This is an opportune time for
such statement as Miss Tarbell
makes. and If it were well and wide

workingmcn and women could only
be helpful. One happy result out of
this unhappy war is likely to come in
