Tho German sharnshooters

The activities of the highly efficient
German sharpshooters have been re-
sponsibe for large proportion of the
casualties in the French and British
armies during the last two months.
Lieutenant H. G. Vouzier, of the French
army, writes of these sharpshooters;
During the past three weeks have
lost more men by the sniper than [
did in three stiff engagements. Our
position is not unlike a golf link
half a mile from the club house we are
bunkered and nicely under cover, but
Immediately one of us shows a head a
bullet whizzes past In one day ten were
hit and for the life of us we could not
locate the place where their snipers
were concealed. At last we found it..
Four hundred yards in front of us in
the open were several prominent tufts
of grass. One of my men fred into
one of these tufts, and sniper fell
into view mortally wounded. A hun
dred yards to the right was another
tuft, which we demolished with fusil-
lade of 81 OTIS. When it was dark we
found there two dead Germans, who
were warmly clad and wrapped in
rugs"

WEATHER FORECASTS
THE CANADA DYNAMITING CASE

Some delicate international questions may arise
as result OF the arrest in Maine of Werner Horne
alleged to be German at least by birth, who is
reported to have admitted that he dynamited span
OF the bridge over the st. Croix river, between
Vanceboro, in the United States and New Bruns-
wick, IN Canada. The part of the bridge damaged
was IN Canadian territory and Horne is being held
IN the United States at the request of the Canadian
authorities who have begun extradition proceedings
in Washington
LII Germany were not at war with Great Britain
OF which empire Canada is a part, there would be
no possible grounds for this country to refuse to
send Horne the border to stand trial in the
Canadian courts for responsibility for an act which
IN time OF peace could only be regarded as crime
Since, however, Germany and Great Britain are at
war, and assuming that Horne is a German subject
there is the possibility that his alleged act can be
construed not crime but as a military opera
ton.
Ii there is any disposition on the part of Horne
to resist extradition the ground that the dyna-
mltlng OF the span military operation of one
belhgerent nation against another it apparently is
up to him to prove that it was actually military
move In other words, unless he submits evidence
to show that the span was wrecked by an agent of
the German government as military move, the
United States would be justified in classng the act
1or which he is accused as crime and could prop
erly turn the prisoner over the Canadian authori
ties for trial. IT, however the act is shown actu-
ally to have been military operation of the Ger
mans and II it is acknowledged by Germany as such
then 1t is doubtful whether the United States could
send Horne back to Canada to stand trial on a
criminal charge.
On the other hand, however, if it should be shown
that the man was acting as an agent of the German
government and used the territory of United States
as basis for military operation the question might
properly be raised whether he is not subject to pun
lshment under the laws of this neutral country.
In any event the is another one of The manv
that are arising in this country in connection with

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need,) apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times etter.-Adv.

Low MARKS NOT ALWAYS A DISGRACE

The girl in the Millville, N j., high school who
swallowed poison the other day when she found
that she had failed in one of her studies probably
had the same emotions which are experienced by
many school boys and girls who are confronted by
low marks after term examinations at this time Of
the year or in June. The only difference is that
she was foolish enough to suit her action to her
inclination
When students take their school work so seriously
that after unsuccessful examinations they feel as
though they want to end it all, they may be mani
testing earnestness in way but foolishness cer-
tainly. Although high marks are highly desirable,
low marks not always utterly disgraceful
Low marks as the result of negligence in school
work, it is of course understood, are inexcusable
Students who strive diligently to get such marks
by evading the work which comes their way would
better be made to engage in some occupation in
which recognition of worth worthlessness comes
in more convincing forms than averages scratched
in little squares schools would be much better off
without the confirmed loafers who deserve marks
in the hundreds with minus signs prefxed These
are not the kind who tempted to commit suicide
when they fail in examinations.
Yet there is another class of students who fail in
certain subjects-only one or two perhaps,-who
simply do not understand those particular subjects
either on account of their own deficiencies or. more
rarely, of the deficiencies of their teachers They
may be especially good students in other branches
and ii so they need feel great disgrace on account
OF their few shortcomings, for talents vary in all
individuals
Failures in school subjects are discouraging GER
talnly, but valuable part of the training of
students is comprised in the meeting and overcom-
ing of difficulties. Persons specially gifted, in
way, who go through school with high marks and
no worries can hardly benefit by the course as much
as the ones who find their tasks acknowledgements
ing OF course that they try

$500, coo FOR c. r. SLINGSBY
Proven to Be Legitimate Heir to Bar,
onial PROPERTY in ENGLAND

London, Feb. 8, 11.45 A. M.-The
probate court decided to-day that the
son of Charles R. Slingsby is the legiti-
mate heir to the 100000 Baronial
property of the Slingsby family in
Yorkshire. The case has been before
the courts for nearly two years.
Charles R. Slingsby, formerly lieu
tenant in the British navy, and a for
mer resident of San Francisco, is in
possession of the property which was
devised to his offspring. When he
asked the court to confirm the success
sion, a younger brother protested on
the ground that the child was not q
legitimate son but an infant substi-
tuted by the lieutenant s wife when her
own child died.
Since the case has been on trial evil
dence has been taken in California
and records produced there to prove the
child the legitimate son and heir of
the Slingsbys.

again was when the captain
