AS GOOD AS
"A Chew OF
''SPEAR HEAD
That Means the Supreme De-
gree Of Rich, Luscious
Tobacco Flavor
NO OTHER CHEW EQUALS IT

Nature varies the flavor she puts into
the different grades of tobacco leaf
and the best of all is the flavor of
choice red Burley that pleases you so
nightly when you chew Spear Head
The delicious fruity flavor of chew
of Spear Head is a revelation to the
man who has never chewed or who has
been chewing near-good tobacco.
For chewing is the one way to get
all the wholesome, healthfu1 appetizing
flavor of the tobacco leaf-providing
you chew high-grade plug like Spear
Head.
No other tobacco can compare with
Spear Head in the wholesome satisfac-
ton it gives.
You get more savory sweetness in
chew of Spear Head than in whole
plug of ordinary tobacco.
And you get it in its purest form
for Spear Head is made amid the most
wholesome surroundings, in a great,
new factory that's kept absolutely
clean and sanitary.
Try this rich, mellow, satisfying, pure
chew. Such chew cannot be obtained
in any other tobacco than Spear Head.

Viscountess Helmsey says further:
THE lamentable decline in the birth

They feel that with increasing family

their social status. while at the same
time they might find their outdoors ac-

"The craze for amusement has been

II IL Just as practicable to operate a
fleet Of transoceanic freight submarines
as a fleet Of Great Lakes whale
backs" In the opinion of Inspector
General George Uhler. of the United
States Steamship inspection Service.
While the novelty of the trip Of tho
Deutschland makes the feat spectacu-
lar, said Uhler. any. Of the Great Lakes
"whale-backs" could easily have accom-
plished the feat except for the necessary
brief submersions.
II do not believe" he said. that
the Deutschland could have made the
trip wholly submerged, even allowing
rises to the surface for air"
Commenting on reports that the Deut-
schland may carry passengers on her
return run OF the British blockades,
Uhler said before the German UNDER
seas boat could clear from Baltimore
with persons other than her officers and
Grew. she would have to satisfy life
protection regulations.
The single lifeboat now carried by
the liner, accommodating barely the
crew. would be insufficient were pas
sengers carried. Other regulations, such
as fire-fighting apparatus and life-belt
requirements would have to be observed.

Far more important say the experts,
than the enclrcling OF the Turco Ger
man di yisions in The middle reaches OF

since American cotton has been de-

has been the chief source Of cotton
for German arsenals. Cotton from this
district, probably the last avenue to
Germany open to this vital necessity
for Teutonic explosives, has been stead
lily crawling over the Bagdad railway
since the British blockade observed
American cotton as contraband.
1t Is the opinion here that Germany
will order the Turks to hold Bagdad
at all costs. and probably will send
large numbers of men to aid the Sui
tan's fighters. The point is declared,
from the German standpoint, to be
one of the mcst vital of the war.
