rest of the world saw clearly
that the attack on the Dardanelles
was a fiasco. The British pub
lie was kept in blind ignorance
Of that fact.
Yet the truth about the OAR
danelles blunder was a thing
which any nations pretending to
be free was absolutely entitled
to know.
Dardanelles Blunder
The Dardanelles expedition
was the sole device of Winston
Churchill, head of Great Brit.
aims navy department. All of
the admirals and naval experts
were against 1t. He insisted
They then pointed out that at
best the attempt to force the
Dardanelles with only naval pow
er was utterly futile; there must
be landing parties to keep the po-
sitions won by the shells of the
fleet.
So an arrangement was made
with M. Venizelos, then prime
minister of Greece by which
Greece was to furnish the land
forces, thereby plunging her into
the war on the side of the allies.
In this NJ. Veniselos was doubt
less sincere, but he had overlook
ed the fact that King Constan-
tine of Greece, like the rest of
the crowned heads OF Europe, is
a German. The king kicked over
the prime minister's plan and the
prime minister resigned.
This left the expedition with
out a landing party. Mr.. Church.
Ill, nevertheless, banged ahead
with 1t, and 1t got rolled up as
the admirals had predicted. It
was necessary, therefore, to with
draw troops from other services
for this one.
Germany Starves Every Day
Germany and Austria we're
starving six months ago. Ac-
cording to the British press they
have been starving every day
since.
The whole thing is of the mutt.
mutty and of the nut, nutty.
Soon after the beginning of the
war, the government found itself
seriously hampered by lack OF
certain materials, the manufac-
ture Of which was unorganized
and inefficient in Great Britain.
An American in that line of
trade heard about the difficulty
and worked out plan to remedy
it. After he had convinced the
authorities, I, that he wasn't a
spy; 2, that he did not intend to
blow up the king; and, 3, that he
had no designs on the prince of
Wales, his plan was adopted and
he was engaged to take charge
of the work.
He found he was in need of ar
ticles he could not get here; al
so of expert workmen. He cabled
for these to his firm in Boston.

To Grow New Hair
On Any Bald Head

Thousands of people suffer from
badness and falling hair who, hav-
Ing tried nearly every advertised
hair-tonic and hairgrower without
results, have resigned themselves
to badness and its attendant dis
comfort. Yet their case Is not hope
less; the following simple home
prescription has made their hair
grow after years of badness. and
Is also unequaled for restoring gray
hair to its original color, stopping
hair from falling out and destroy
ing. the dandruff germ. II will not
make the hair greasy and can be
put up by any druggist: Bay Rum,
6 ounces; Lavona de Composee,
ounces; Menthol Crystals, one half
drachm. If you wish 1t perfumed,
add l drachm of your favorite per-
fume. This preparation is highly
recommended by physicians and
specialists, and is absolutely harm
less, as 1t contains none OF the poi
sonous wood alcohol so frequently
found in hair tonics.

CENSORSHIP COSTS Dearly
You Can't Run
BY Charles Edward Russell

By Charles Edward Russell
Copyright. 1915. by the News
paper Enterprise Association
LONDON, May 49,. 1915.
One reason why Great Britain,
after nine months of tremendous
effort, still has no army to COM
pare with the armies of France
and Germany is because Great
Britain has become a censor.
The idea of an army created
by voluntary enlistment is q
large and lovely democratic idea
The idea of a new censorship Is
not democratic at all, but purely
autocratic.
You can't have volunteer en-
listments without popular feeling
and you can't arouse popular
feeling about war If the people
know next to nothing of it.
AutOcratic and Idiotic
Any censorship is bad enough,
but the kind of censorship the
British government put to work
was. worse than that, because 1,
was both autocratic and idiotic.
All the people of Great Brit
ain actually know about this war
is what they gather from the few
gritty and indigestible crumbs
the mindless gentlemen now con-
Quoting the censor's office are
willing to throw at them.
The British public is not even
allowed to know simple and es.
sential facts. Better. and fuller
war reports are printed daily in
500 American newspapers than
usually appear in British jour-
nal.
For days together the British
newspapers, infinitely edited by
the mindless persons before re.
ferred to, print nothing in the
way of war news but slush, CUFF
and obvious dreams.
Childish Censor's Operations
I will give few examples OF
the childish operations of these
censor persons and then you will
see one thing that is the matter
here.
The allies, on the western
front, face the most stu pendous
problem ever attempted by men
To win they must drive 4,000,-
900 entrenched men backward
200 miles, inch by inch, at a cost
of so many lives an inch.
OF the size and nature of this
problem, the British people exist
In sweet and blissful ignorance
Consequently, they are not con.
cerned about 1t.
The battleship Audacious was
sunk last November off the north
ern coast. To this day the cen.
SCR has refused to allow a WORD
to be printed about the disaster
The American newspapers hat
columns about 1t and from then
the news has come back to BIZ
circulated from man to mar
across these islands.

TAC0MANS GET Prize

Tacoma company No. 4,
Knights of Pythias, won the $500
cash prize In yesterdays competi-
tive drills at the Stadium. Camas
company of dismounted cavalry
was the only competitor. The
Tacoma company is commanded
by Capt. B. s. Lunan, First Lieu
tenant G. w. Thompson and Sec
ond Lieutenant o. Otto.
The Seattle and Olympia troops
were unable to compete because
their ranks had been deprecated
by sickness, and troop b of Van
couver was not able to enter the
drills, because it's equipment did
not arrive.

able by the human mind.
Eye Witnesses Job.
No correspondent or reporter
is allowed at the front. IL by
any chance one picks up a good
story the censor cuts that out
and burns II. A so-called Eye
Witness" being an army officer
chosen by the government, goes
with the troops and is supposed to
furnish all the description any
taste could desire. A week or
two weeks after a battle is fought
this person comes numbering
along with a thousand words OF
dessicated and juiceless COM
ments, all showing the surprising
valor and wonderful success of
the British soldiers and carefully
emitting anything that would
give a hint of what is actually
going on.
Autocrscy or Democracy
Every day the government
from its posters screams, roars
and bellows at the nations young
men, urging them to enlist. Every
day the governments censor as
sures them, through their news
papers. that all is we'll and the
Germans are licked.
Can you beat that?
: Wise old government.
No. have an autocracy, II you
will, or have a democracy. hut
don't try to have an autocratic
democracy or a democratic autoc-
raey. The thing cant be dons.

FEW RULE CHANGES
IN 1915 FOOTBALL

The changes In the football
rules this year are very simple.
The following are the principal
alterations which spectators
should bear In mind:
First-There must be four Of
fielaIs instead Of three, the use
Of the field Judge being obIIga-
tory. The field Judge, instead Of
linesman, is now the tinekeeper.
second-Resubstltutlons are
allowed only at the beginning
OF period.
Thlrd--BloekIns and inter
ferlng, wherein players throw
their legs up In the air. 10 for
hidden, and f5-yard penalty
inflicted for violation Of the rule.
Fourth--Centers are forbid
den to make a baIk at swapping
the ball.
Fifth-RunnIng Into tho full
back or punter Is penallxed by a
loss Of is yards. Rouahing him Is
penaIized by IS yards and dis
qualification.
Sixth-The forward pass,
when thrown out Of bounds as a
substitute for a punt. 10 declared
an incompIeted forward pass.
SEVENTH a second eligible
man touches the forward pass
after II has first been touched
by an eligible player, II becomes
