REVIEWS PROTEST ON
DECORATION
Amerca Acts In Case Of BelsisnA

Washington, Dec. 1.-Acting on its
own behalf, the American govern
ment has informed Germany anew Of
its deep concern over the deporta-
tion OF Belgians from thir own coun-
try by the German military authorities.
This acion has been taken as a result
Of information about the deportations
gahered from different sources and
after fruitless inquiries as to the
Belgians made by American Charge
Grew at Berlin.
Germany has been informed that
the treatment Of the (Belgians has
made a very bad impression in this
country and that the United Safes
can not avoid taking notice Of the
broad grounds of humanity.
The American government, It was
learned today, was led to moe not
only because Of the xpressed feeling
that the deportations have been looked
upon with disfavor by he American
people and government but because of
fear that Belgian rlief work, which Is
administered by Americans. may be
interfered with.

There is a difference Of opinion
very wide difference-about the feel

individual toward the government as
result of his tour Of duty on the
border The truth Is, Of course, that
different guardsmen entertain va

would be easy to quote a lot Of them
who think they have not had square

reason for taking them away from
home and business and sending them

Should Establish Australian Ballet,
Says Anderson Paper
From tho Anderson Intelllgencer.) }

Following the recent Democratic
primary in this State there were
charges of fraud made by one faction
against the other, though no protest
was filed and no contest made before
the State executive committee Of the
party. The charges were regarded as
thin and fiimy way Of easing out
Of defeat, and were never taken Sc
riously by the public.
But out Of the discussion Of these
alleged frauds grew talk Of making
the Australian ballot system the law
|iul method Of choosing public officers.
Prominent members Of both factions
have given their endorsement to the
scheme, and now would certainly ap-
pear a good time for the Legislature to
press the matter and make the system
the law Of the State while the demand
for it IS fresh in the minds Of the
people. 1t certainly could not at this
time he made a fractional issue. as 1t
has the support Of both factions.
The prima ~ election law passed In
1914 was q long step toward in purg-
ing the primary Of fragrant aliases
and the adoption Of the Australian
ballot would naturally fit In as sort
Of final chapter In the movement to
reform and purify the elections. There
are always purchasable votes. whose
support can be won by an outright
cash consideration or by promises
that are equivalent to a purchase. The
Australian ballot system would help
to reduce the danger from this element
Of voters. as the secrecy required In
depositing their ballots would make
it increasingly difficult for political
mainpufators to depend UPON them.
The tine is ripe for passing the
measures and we hope that It will be
pressed vigorously at the coming Sec
sion of the Legislature, and pushed
through while has such an excellent
chance Of passage.

in February, 1915, and the business of
the line has grown until now it is pay

the deficit accumulated during the first
months of operation, according to the
company's latest reports.
The way is now clear for the road to
make proposed extensions to Salem and
other up.valley cities. An agreement ex.
lists with the stockholders that this pro.
posed improvement should not be made
until the road is on a paying basis.
During the month of September the

CLOSING OF BANK IS
ROUGH ON PRISONERS
German Bank at Yokohama
No Longer Able to Distrib-
ute Relief Funds

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-The Deutsch.
Asiatische bank of Yokohama has been
closed by the Japanese government ac.
cording to the japanese newspapers re-
ceived today. The result is that several
thousand prisoners of war and hundreds
of Germans residing in Japan are with
out funds, as it ends the American
consulate's monthly distribution of 1000
yen, drawing from Germany's 3 funds in
the bank, for German relief.
The cutting off of the German gov
ernment's s relief distribution is causing
the most hardship, and while awaiting
action on request for modification,
the American consulate is working to
relieve these war victims, all of their
funds were shut off by the bank clos
ing. The bank officials ask to be al
lowed to pay at least part of the de-
posits to keep Germans from starvation
The japanese, it is rumored, closed
the bank on suspicion that funds were
being sent to aid the German cause in
Europe and to pay spies.

HOW TO EASILY SHED
THAT BAD COMPLEXION

X x X X \: X X x X x !: X !: 4 \:
We cannot restore degenerated facial
tissue any more than we can restore a
lost limb. 1t is useless to attempt to
convert worn out complexion into a
new one. The rational procedure is to
remove the complexion instead-rcmove
the devitaliZed cuticle. Not by surgical
means, however, as the underlying
cuts is too thin, too tender, to with
stand immediate exposure. Applying or
dinary mcrcolized wax will gradually
absorb the offending cuticle By de-
grees, Il new, youthful skin apears; soft
and delicately tinted as rose petal.
No lady need hesitate to try this.
Procure an ounce of mercolized wax of
the druggist. Spread on thin layer
before retiring, removing this in the
morning with soap and water. In ten
days to two weeks the complexion is
completely transformed.
An approved treatment for wrinkles
is provided by dissolying an ounce of
powdered saXolte in half pint of
witch hazel. Bathing the face in the
solution brings prompt and remarkable
results.-POpular Medicine.
