Large pores are caused by the clogging

massage and cleanliness are the cures for
this difficulty. These bring back the
elasticity to the skin ana keep the skin

gressive ideas have been dreaming
and talking of the day when our great
ships, particularly our naval vessels.
should answer as quickly and silently
to electrical impulse as does an cleo
trio automobile or trolley car. The
logic Of these champions of electricity
was unanswerable and electricity gave
q good account of itself In many small
experimental vessels but the United
States Government. along with the
other great powers OF the work, hest
tated to risk an investment of millions
of dollars-which Is what an electric
battleship amounts to.
However, in due course, the Ameri-
can electrical experts who had gone
farther than any person else in quest
of this goal, made out so favorable q
case that the U. S. Navy Department
decided to make a test on vessel Of
moderate size. The collier Jupiter
was chosen for the experiment and
in order to accurately sense the value
of the innovation ii was determined
Just as IL has now been decided in
the case OF the Cai1fornia--to con-
struct duplicate vessels that would
afford standards of efficiency and econ
omy whereby the freak might be
measured.

Most important of all the new-found
attributes of the California Is the
possession of speed. Time and again
during the present war 1t has been
attested that speed In a heavy fighter
no less than in a light cruiser Ia
valuable asset and consequently every
effort is being made to give the CAL
ifornia this advantage. 1t was con-
templated that the battleship should,
under the circumstances. show a speed
, OF not less than twenty-four miles
per hour but now that il has been
determined to install electrical equip
ment throughout, the enthusiasts on
the subject of electrical propulsion are
joyousiy proclaiming that the Cali
forria will do much better than "a
miles.
Electric Collier Pointed The Way.
Just how 1t came to pass that the
California Is to be the electric battle
ship instead of plain everyday sort
of battleship, though the largest of
her kind. Is rather long story Strict
ly speaking. however II was AN cleo
trio collier or coal-carrying vessel that
pointed the way to the present over
turning of precedent. For several
years past electrical engineers of pro-

AS for displacement. the term in
which battleships are usually meas
ured by naval and maritime men. the
California can boast $4,000 tons
whereas her main battery of twelve
of the huge l4Inch guns ought to
make her more than a match for any
lighting ship flying the flag of any
nation.
For one thing the conflict in Europe
has disclosed that the torpedo must
henceforth be accounted a very i'm
portant factor In naval warfare and
consequently we find that arrange
ments have been made to At the Cali
fornia with four submerged torpedo
tubes so that this heavyweight fighter
can discharge torpedoes at an enemy
just as can a submarine. On the
other hand the California will have
an innovation In the form OF ''tor-
pedo defense battery" consisting OF
twenty-five 5-inch rapid fire guns so
that this new mistress of the waves
will be well qualified TO cope at close
range with those hostile wasps OF
warfare that strive to creep close
enough TO a battleship to make sure
that torpedoes will find their mark

GERMANS DECLARE CHARGES OF CRUELTY
PREFERRED BY BELG|ANS FABR|CAT|ONS
Say Civilian Population Violated All Laws of War in Attacks
on Soldiers Making Stern and Bloody Reprsals
Absolutely Necessary.

Amsterdam, May sa.--The German
government has Just issued a White
Book in reply Ia charges of extreme
and unwarranted cruelty To civilians
in Belgium, made against German
troops in two official reports.
The first of these reports was made
public in Washington. September 16.
1914. by a commission sent 10 the
United States by the Belgian govern
ment.
The second report is that OF the
British commission. headed by Wis
count Bryce, made public simultane-
ousiy in London and Washington on
the 18th of the present month.
In its White Book the German gov
eminent says.
Immediately after the outbreak Of
the present war a wild fight OF the
entire people against the German
troops broke out. which forms a
fragrant violation of international
rights and which had most serious
results for the country OF Belgium
and her people.
This war fought by people ex-
cited to the highest passion, lasted
during the entire advance of the Ger
man army through Belgium. As the
Belgian army. after stubborn fights.
retreated before the German troops,
the Belgian civilian population in all
parts of the country not yet occupied
by Germans endeavored by all means
TO delay the German advance.
All Ages and Sexes Made Attacks.
They did not hesitate. in places
which already had been occupied by
German troops. to hurt and weaken
the German army through cowardIy
attacks That the Belgian civilian
population Of every rank age and
sex with the greatest fury and rage
took part in The fights against the
German troops is proved by over
whelnaiHg material founded on Of
fetal. and. in many cases, sworn testi-
mony.
According 20 material in hand the
Belgian civilian population in numer-
Gus places in the provinces Of Liege,
Luxembourg. Namur. Henegau. Bra
hant, East and West Flanders fought
against German troops. and the fight
was particularly terrible in character

According to these, men Of vari-
GUS professions and trades, working
men, manufacturers, physicians,
school teachers-nay. even priests and
women and children--were caught
with arms Ing hand in parts of the
country from which the Belgian regu-
lar troops had retired long ago. Shots
were fired at the German troops from
houses. gardens, roofs. cellars. fields
and woods. During these fights
means were used which certainly
would never have been used by regu-
lar troops. and there were. therefore.
many wounds from shotguns and
scalds from hot tar and boiling water,
Not According TO Rule.
The war which the Belgian civilian
population conducted was entirely
against generally recognized rules of

articles / and 2 of the treaty Of The
Hague signed by Belgium"

among other things, says:
The population of territory
which has not been occupied, who on
the enemys approach, spontaneously
take up arms TO resist the invading
troops without having time to organ
ize themselves in accordance with
article l, shall be regarded as bel
ligereht. If they respect the laws and
customs of war"
For this reason the Belgian franc
tireurs could not be considered organ
lied bodies OF militia or volunteers
according To the rights Of war. 1t
makes no difference that apparently
also that military individuals and
members OF the Belgian civil guard
took part in these, for as those in
dividuals wore no military uniform
and dressed in civilian clothes and
mingled among fighting civilians. they
could make no claim to be considered
belligerents
Violated Laws of War.
Belgian Franc-tireurs have never
fought openly. and have throughout
violated the laws and regulations of
war. Incontestable proofs are at
hand that in a great number of cases
the German troops when they arrived
were friendly. They were received by
the Belgian civil population and then

Of the war. Yet while Italy's engage
ment in the conflict was great event
last week, Wall Street was unable to
devote itself to all the calculations
appropriate to 1t.
Attention Not Distracted.
AT the outset of the week q tentative
inclina ton was manifested to argue
that Italy's course was likely to lead to
break in the ranks of the European
neutral nations in order to combat the
menace of European conquest offered
by Germany's formidable military
power, and that event therefore made
the problem of our relations with Ger
manay less serious. 1t was quickly
demonstrated that such a construction
did not receive any wide Endorsement
and throughout the week nothing
served much to distract attention from
the matters of most direct and immedf-
ate concern to ourselves. the issue OF
the Washington Berlin negotiations

spite all the arrangement OF foreign
