LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

viii the Austro- Germans Get Caught?
Mr.. Editor: Whenever the German
invasion of Russia is discussed it is
hkened to Napoleon's disastrous cam
paign of 1912, when he lung his army
OF 500. 900 men drawn from 20 nations
against the car. The Germans are
fighting on practically the same ground
but under different conditions and with
different tactics. for where the Ger
mans have tried to roll up the Russian
armies. Napoleon tried TO divide them
About one-third OF Napoleon's army
was French. and over a fourth was
Germans, while the balance was made
up of Italians, Austrians, men drawn
from the minor European states and
| $4,000 Poles under Prince Poniatowsid.
The grand army entered Russia in
| three divisions about the time the car
arrived at Wilma with a portion Of his
army. From the very beginning Ma
poleon had driven a wedge between the
/ two armies and they did their best to
unite and stop his terrible drive on
/ Wilma. but as fast as they fell back
before him he followed to prevent them
/ joining forces.
The car fell back from wilma to
Smolensk In White Russia and there
they made a stand. but Napoleon bonn
barded the town, set 1t in flames and
compelled them to withdraw.
All through the Russian campaign
the weather was against the French
| emperor. Rain destroyed the crops
and the cart paths. and most OF the
4 horses sickened and died When the
French had reached Smolensk they
were at loss whether to go back over
| the dreary wastes or push on to Mos
COW, where they could spend the win
ter. Napoleon resolved to push on to
Moscow. and so hee left Smolensk and
advanced upon the still retreating Rus
SLAMS.
About this time the people demanded
that the car save Moscow from the
enemy. and so about 10000 Russians
under General Kutusoff were drawn uI
at Borodino on the Muskova river fol
the final defense of the city. All day
the battle ragged. and at night the Rus
slams sullenly withdrew and left Mos

MUST PROBE DEEPER.

The overturning OF the steamer
Eastland and the loss of nearly a
thousand lives made it quite evident
that conditions prevailed there which
were not in accordance with the de-
mands of safety. 1t was a catastro-
phe which called for the most COM
p1ete investigation both for the fixing
of the responsibility Cor the large loss
Of life and the correction of conditions
which made it possible.
The report has been made after an
inquiry of several weeks by two SUI
pervising inspectors Of the federal de-
partment of commerce that the steam
er was not overcrowded. That OF
course means that according to tho
limit which had been fixed as the pas
senger carrying capacity of that boat
respect was paid thereto and that the
number of people aboard was not re-
sponsible for the capsizing.
That may absolve those officials who
were directly in charge of that feature
Of safety for STEAMERS, but 1t does moi
eliminate the perfectly apparent fact
that somthing was radically wrong
with the steamer. II the trouble re-
suited from the form of construction

ENoueH EMPTY PROMISES.

The sinking of the Hcsperian aft@r
overy effort was made to get it into
port eliminates the possibility of It
being definitely determined by an OK
animation whether It was a torpedo
or a mine which was the cause. but
from the joint declaration Of the Of
icers of the ship and from the policy
which has been followed by Germany
the doubt which may exist upon that
point is insignificant.
In view Of the satisfactory progress
that was being made in connection
with the sinking of the Arabic this
government finds justification in be-
lieving that following a report by the
submarine commander, who is in a
position to throw full light upon the
matter, Germany will disavow the act
meaning that it is not in accord with
it's policy and that it is not the in
tent Of that government that such
practice shall be continued, but in
view of the disregard for internationa
law and the treatment which should b.
accorded merchant ships, but which
has not been manifested in a mum.

more than empty promises must b,

States following the sinking o

eIvINe LABOR A SHARE.

The action taken by the Standard
Oil company in the granting Of an
eight hour day to its employees is one
of much significance in> view of tho
trouble which is being experienced in
other lines of industry and which was
felt by that company in the strike
which it had on its hands only short
time ago. In its settlement Of that
trouble the demands of the strikers
were partially met, but this step goes
even further and henceforth it is an
eight hour day for the workers In
the Soco plants.
1t is a decision which has beer
reached by other corporations how
ever, and apparently along the same
line of reasoning. In many instances
manufacturers find themselves over
whelmed with orders because of the
demand for their products created by
the war. They need to keep theil
help in good spirits and it is but nat.
ural that they should feel that the1
should share in the large profits whicl
are being made or anticipated. Som
concerns for that reason have voliln
tarily announced an immediate in.
crease in wages and the promise OF
further increase If the war business
lasts certain length of time. Other
have placed their factories on an eigh
hour basis. which is particularly con
venient for three shifts during tn

AGAINST UNWIsE EXPENDITURES

Following close upon the declaration
through administration channels tina:
greater recognition would be paid to
the curtailment Of the pork barrel"
appropriations in order to conserve
the finances of the country and place
the expenditures where they are moro
needed, there comes report from the
engineers of the government carrying
the recommendation that the improve
ments of the Arkansas and Missouri
rivers be abandoned.
Such a recommendation comes as
the result of the provision which was
placed in the last rivers and harbors
bill requiring a denomination of the
ten leading waterway projects by the
army engineers for the purpose of de-
termining whether they are good in
vestments. There was a pairing of the
appropriations last year after a hard
fight and the engineers were given
supervision of the expenditures voted
but they have apparently found that
there is further opportunity for elm
mating waste even though millions
have already been expended upon GER
tain work.

pected, but they nevertheless must

few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
DRUGGIST SAYS LADIES ARE US.
ING RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Hair that loses its color and lustre
or when II fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless. is caused by a lack Of sui
pbur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 5o-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
tra hair so naturally, so evenly that
nc body can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides, 1t takes off dam
druff, stops scalp itching and falling
heir. You Just dampen a sponge or
scft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
siay hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening tho hair after a few
applications, It also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap.
pearance of abundance.
