This Is no time for the usual meth
ods of doing business with the Govern
ment. am assuming that Governments
in the past have done their business in
the most perfect ways. This IL not
the time for the usual roundabout meth
ods Of Government business. We have
got TO trust business men in the locnli-
ties to organize for us, to undertake
the business In the particular locality

during the war not merely trade union
regulations but some Government regu-

Special Correspondence to TnE Sun.

LONDON, June 5.-In his second
speech on the vital question of NUM-
tions for the British army at the front.
made yesterday at Liverpool. Minister OF
Munitions Lloyd George did not mince
his words In telling the labor interests
that everything. the very existence of
the British Empire, depends on them.
Trade union rules must be suspended.
Stacking down OF work must not be
tolerated. all rights which labor en-
joys in times of peace must give way
In time OF war to the urgent duty of
turning out shells Ito save our men
on the battlehelds.''
Describing the Teuton combination
rs the most terrible that the British
Empire ever faced, Mr.. Lloyd George
said that nothing can pull us through
but the united effort of every man in
the empire" He contrasted. to the dis
credit Of his hearers. the spirit of Eng
land with that OF Germany. where. he
sad. only one thought--victory-li In
every class and section of the popula-
ton.
The Minister declared that the labor
ing class of this country had mos, TO
lose in case Germany won because GER
man mlitarism In the most dominating
autocracy ever witnessed In history and
that, therefore, labor should suborii-
nate everything to helping the Govern
ment In its task OF keeping the army
supplied with munitions. He said that
II every engineer. skilled and unskilied.
now at the front were TO return and
work day and night In the factories they
could not turn out the amount OF muni-
tions needed. Much OF the work in the
factories must be turned over To women,
continued Mr.. Lloyd George. citing the
case Of France. where. he said. there
are actually not enough men left in
civil life to do this necessary part Of
the work for the army.
Mr.. Lloyd George said
The situation is "A serious one. II
is as grave situation as this country
has ever been confronted with. You
need have no special knoN ledge to as
certain that for yourselves. \ careful
intelligent perusal OF the dispatches
published In the newspapers must have
caused you TO come to the conclusion
that this country is engaging enc Of
the most formidable enemies that i, mas
ever waged war against. The issues
are great, the perils are great. and nth
ing can pull US through but the uniied
effort OF every man In the British fm-
pire.
"lf YOU look at what our brave fellows
are doing At the front you can see the
perils there facing them--the trials. the
prlvations--and they are doing II with
out hinching Never in the history Of
this country have our men shown rfc"ter
COURAGE and endurance than they are
during this war. They have done all you
can expect of mortal man. We who are
comfortable at home. free from priva-
tions. free from danger, let us each OF
us do his part as noble as those heroes
OF ours are doing II at the front II
would be horrible for us to think that

German Unity Formidable.

What makes Germany formidable
enemy Is not merely Its preparation Tor
war, II Is not merely its organization
potent as that is. but IL Is the spirit
OF every class and section of It's ropu-
lntion You have only got To- read the
papers to see that as far as they are
concerned they are all OF them suhordi-
mating everything 20 the one great ma
tIonal purpose of winning victory for
their fatherland. That Is the least we
can do in this country for our land.
Il have never doubted where ultimate
victory would lie, never for moment
Nor have ever estimated the difficulties
But though ! have never doubted where
vicotry would rest. all the same | know
that victory will come the sooner for
recognizing the difficulties thereof, You
cannot remove the difficulties without
looking AT them, and YOU cannot look
AT difficulties without seeing them, and
that is why the business OF a Minister Is
TO point them out, and then to appeal
to every section OF the community to
assist the Government In overcoming the
overcoming the obstacles in the way.
"Now we want especially the help OF
those who can contribute 10 the increase
of the munitions the equipment OF the
material OF war. We want the help
of employers. We want the help OF
the workers. We want employers and
workmen TO feel their responsibility in
this matter. II is my intention 10 uti-

HoNoLuLu NOT IMMORAL.

A prominent missionary worker,
addressing herself TO members OF the
Women's Home Missionary society
recently, stated that visit which
she had made to Honolulu warranted
her in saying that Honolulu has nc
morals
If this is true. what has been the
use OF expepding the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars which Amerf
cans have contributed to the mission
aries for this field
Anyone at all familiar with the cap
iisi OF the Hawaiian Islands knows
that many Of the most influential
people Of Honolulu are the product OF
marriages which missionaries have
made with the natives. and II these
contractions have proved demoraliz-
ing. doesn't II seem reasonable to
suggest that toe missionaries be kert
away from Honolulu?

n A PORE Is the orihce Of a sweat
~ duct upon the surface of the
skin. 1t is invisible. What
are commonly called pores" are
really the orifices OF the sebaceous
gland ducts, which convey an oily
secretion to the surface, usually emp
tying this secretion along the shaft
of the hair.
Enlarged pores" are obstructed or
torpid sebaceous ducts. Black
heads" or comedones are sebaceous
ducts flied with an inspissated
sebum or cheesy material, the black
discoloration being dust and dirt
upon the surface. Whether one be
exquisitely clean or personally negli-
gent about the toilet makes no diff
ference; blackheads will appear any
way. When the sebaceous ducts or
tubes become infected with certain
pus-producing bacteria winch are
normally present upon the skin sur
face, then condition known as acne
or pimples Is produced, and acne is
as liable to develop upon the face,
neck, back and chest of q healthy,
cleanly young person as upon any
one else. Just because the disease
occurs most commonly at or soon af-
ter puberty does not signify anything
as to the cause, unless it be that the
lining cells of the sebaceous glands
mature over-abundantly at this time
of life and, being cast off too rapidly,
form sebum or oily, cheesy material
so fast that the ducts become over
burdened and infiamed.
Upon the nose the sebaceous
glands are large and prominent. The
substance that can be squeezed out
is not a worm" though it does re-
selnble one. Upon the cheeks, the
lobes of the ears, in the armpits, and
in some other areas the sebaceous
glands are very large and active.
Upon the scalp a sebaceous gland

Expression

Expression Is what makes us In
teresting, and it is the interesting
people that everybody pays tribute
to and likes to have around. AS
civilization becomes more general
and as ignorance becomes less a
fact, people express themselves
more widely
In order that your Abilities be
best expressed it is necessary to
give them the best outlet.
1t is a great mistake to leave
unexpressed ideas and acts and
purposes that exist within you.
You pass for what other people un-
derstand you to be, and the more
expression you give to what you
are the better will be the general
verdict as to your value. Suppose
you are misunderstood Suppose
you do express yourself inaccurate
ly at times. The final average will
be satisfactory, providing your ex-.
preston is sincere. tr
b Express yourself the hest way
you know shaw. Then review the
expression for Improvement the
next time.
In expression, however, take
care that you express yourself and
not poor copy OF somebody else.

MAG ARA FALLS
BY GEORGE FITCH

NJ IAGARA FALLS is small
body of water stood up on
end and entirely surrounded
by souvenirs.
1t is the largest piece of perpendicu-
lar wetness in the world and If it
were not for the noise made by the
tourists and the hotel runners in
the vicinity its roar could be heard
for many miles.
Niagara Falls is the terminus of
navigation on the Great Lakes. At
a point within easy walking distince
Of 1,100 hotels, the Niagara River,
half mile wide, suddenly falls
without any warning whatever over
a precipice 164 feet high, forming
the grandest sight in the universe,
not excepting the horseshoe circle
at New York Grand Opera. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 people a year
visit this cataract and most of them
encourage it by having their photo
graphs taken while standing beside
it with an air of approval
Niagara Falls was discovered by
La Sale, who became aware Of its
presence while trying to paddle
canoe from Montreal to the Gulf of
Mexico. He remained several
months in the vicinity and came
away without buying a single pic
ture postal-card, thus making rec
ord which has never since been
equaled. At this time Niagara was
in a very wild and uncivilized state.
Shortly after the Revolution, how
ever, the cataract was captured by
the hackmen and has been in a state
Of captivity ever since. No cataract
on earth has been so abused. 1t has
been bridged, tunneled navigated,
jumped over, tight-roped and illumi-
mated For fifty cents one may ride
up to it from below in boat and
puff cigarette smoke in its face. For
a dollar one can go down behind it
in a rubber suit and feel of its ribs.
Once the Indians worshipped it and
called it a god Now tourists ride
around it in trolley cars and excur-
sionists throw ham sandwiches in it
as a boy would throw peanuts to an
elephant.
Not only is Niagara Falls abused,
but it is cruelty oppressed. 1t must
