Germans Hear win Yield
The fact that the prediction that
Austria Will yield to the United States
comes freely from German circles
has given credence TO reports thai
Germany viii use every influence to-
wards a satisfactory settlement. HAY
ing herself disavowed the attack on
the Arabic. and given the United
States assurance for the future il Is
thought that Germany is in pecul-
liarly strong position to advance the
statesmen in Vienna.
Count Won Bernstorf himself is
known to be anxious that a break be
avoided, and the fact that he has
been in frequent conferences with
Baron Zwiedinek adds to the belief
that Austria Will not act contrary to
the wishes of the Berlin government.
Both Germany and Austria are said
TO fear that " there il a break wit h
the United States II might seriously
affect the efforts Of the German and
Austrian diplomats to maintain the
neutrality of Rumania and Greece ia.

Indications tonight, based on au-

ing Austria to yield to the United
States, will herself give instructions
To Ambassador Rernstorff to renew

dicted that within month an effort
Will be made by Germany to settle
this issue. on the basis OF an offer Of
reparation without any reference to

TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves
no lasting benefits. Those who have
tried a simple spurmax face lotion
find it much better, as it removes
skin discolorations, such as freckles
and tan, and makes the skin smooth,
white and velvety. This lotion Is
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in one-half pint not water,
then adding two teespoonfuls ely
cerin. This complexion beautifier
does not rub off or show like pow
der, and gives a more refined ap-
pearance. 1t removes both shininess
and sallowness, rapidly giving the
skin a permanent healthy, youthful
appearance.
An especially fine shampoo for
this weather can be had at trifling
expense by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox in a cup of hot water.
Pour slowly on scalp and massage
briskly. This creates a soothing,
cooling lather that dissolves and re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spot
lessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on a glossy richness
of natural color, also a fluffiness
which makes it seem very much
heavier than it is. After a canthrox
shampoo arranging the hair is a
pleasure.-Advt.
