Combined Protest Against

EXPECT CONGRESS- AID

Following the representations made at
the State Department in behalf OF the
American packers, whose trade with some
of the neutral countries of Europe has
practically vanished as a result of Brit
ish practices during the war. 1t became
known yesterday that a movement is on
foot to assemble In a convention of pro-
test the meat, cotton, and other interests
affected adversely by British policies.
The packers have already been ap-
preached by men Identified with the cot
ton interests OF the South in regard to
the proposed gathering. 1t is understood
that the meat men are quite agreeable to
1.-THE suggestion. and that livestock inter-
I ests may be brought In with them.
With the approach Of the new cotton
crop in the Southern States it is expected
here that the grievance of the cotton
growers against Great Britain will be
brought to the front more than ever be-
fore Like the meat packers they have
enga ged special high-priced counsel and
have enlisted the support Of men power
full in a political way.
Have Eye on ConEress.
An organized protest on the part OF all
the American interests involved would,
IL is believed be most difficult for the
administration to ignore. particularly. II

the assembly of Congress. There are al
ready signs that the new Congress will
come prepared to support all sorts of pro-
posals calculated to bring pressure to
bear on Great Britain.
Oficjals most familiar with the situa-
ton feel confident that concessions by
Great Britain are likely to come just
as soon as the authorities in London re-
aliZe the extent and depth OF the feel
ing among large groups of American in
terests and appreciate the possible re-
suits of the political pressure they will
be able to exert.
1t has been decided that the State De-
pa rtment will act in behalf OF the pack
ers and their cases. The department has
now set on foot inquiries in England and
neutral countries adjacent to Germany
for the purpose Of verifying reports of
conditions made by the meat interests.
According to these reports, It is virtually
impossible to do business with the Scan
dinavian countries and Holland. all on
account of the British policies. 1t is
stated that Norway is confronted with a
real shortageo meats as a result and
has appointed a committee to deal with
the situation.

Paris. July 15.-Recent successes won by
the French in Alsace were due to the
| daring assaults of the Alpine troops They
| captured the mountain Businesses which
| the Germans regarded as impregnable.
Full credit for the Alsace victories Ia
given to the Alpine chasseurs in an Of
ficial eyewitness" narrative issued by the
war Office today.
For the attacks upon the German
strongholds upon the crests of the Vosges
the French made long preparations
building twenty miles of railway for the
transportation of guns and ammunition.
One hundred and fifty tons of material
were carried over this railway daily un-
til enough had been accumulated to as
sure success in the operations against
Metzeral and Sondernach.
The communique:
Long in Preparation.
The successes of the French troops in
Alsce around Metzeral and Sondernach
were chiefly due to the magnificent cour-
age of the infantry and Alpine troops.
The Germans had, according to pris-
oners taken by us, fortified their posi-
tions SO strongly they believed them i'm
pregnable Around Steinbruck several
lines of trenches had been dug around
each crest.
THE preparations we made for attack
ing these strongholds were long and care
full. We had to build twenty miles of
railway lines, over which daily We car
ried materials and ammunition weighing
at least $50 tons. We also had to build
many miles of communicating trenches.
On June Is We delivered an attack
from both sides OF the Fecht Valley. the
infantry charging with magnificent cour-
age, while bands played the 'Marseillaise.
The German artillery deluged our lines
with projectiles, but could not break
down the attack.

How to Beautify the Hair
A Simple and inexpensive
Home Method.

The hair is like a fower-a little
care and proper nourishment does
wonders. Just as a plant without
air and water withers and dies, so
will the hair go If not given proper
nourishment. The scalp must be
perfectly healthy and free from
dandruff. as the scalp is to the hair
what good soil is to plants and
lowers.
If your hair Is not pretty: IL 1t is
losing color, too dry. matted, fall
ing out, or If the scalp itches and
burns, you can easily overcome all
of these conditions by using Paris
ian Sage. which supplies every hair
need. 1t soaks right into the hair
roots, stimulating them and fur
nishing the nourishment that is
needed for the hair to grow not
only long and heavy, but fluffy, soft.
lustrous and gloriously radiant.
You can get bottle of this in
expensive, yet delightful and helm
full hair tonic from Tragic Drug Co.
or any drug counter. Improvement
begins with the very first applica-
ton. Besides stopping the scalp
irritation 1t removes every bit Of
dandruff. The use of this un-
equaled tonic will surely give your
hair new life and beauty.
