Todav's War Developments

Montenegro has rejected the

French Embassy in London.
The complex situation in the
Near East and the Orient proper
has forced sudden council of the

Three big features which now
stand out predominantly in the war
situation were discussed at the
council of war. They are;
England's determination to in
crease the effectiveness of The
blockade. Diplomatic situation in
Greece and the campaign in the
Balkans.
Sensational reports concerning
Greece have been received. Ac-
cording to one of these a revolu-
ton is threatened in Greece. The
strength of Venezelos, who favors
the entrance of Greece into the war
on the side of the Allies, is said to
be growing daily.
The Russian offensive in the
Caucasus has been checked, Con-
stantinople reports.
The situation on the Tigris is

GREEK TROOPS TO LEAVE
GRAECO-BULGAR BORDER
ATHENS. Jan. 10

n iHlEANSs jan II.
All Greek troops, except one battalion,
will be withdrawn from the Graeco- Bull
gar frontier, II was announced today
because of the difficulty of obtaining pro-
visions for them. 1t was officially stated
that England has agreed to export 5000
tons of coal to Greece, eliminating the
possibilities of q tie-up of the Greek
railroads
1t is possible that a reason other than
the difficulty of provisioning the Greek
troops forced their withdrawal from the
Graeco- -Buigar frontier. Allied diplomats
for several weeks have urged the Greek
King TO withdraw troops from both the
Serbian and Bulgarian frontiers.

Treatment FOR OILY SKIN
Powder 10 Seldom the Best Thing to
Use-Proper Lotions Should
Be Applied.

Powder Is often nm unsatisfactory
way out Of the difficulties Of IN oily
skin. Powder will never cover the dis
agreeable traces of pcrspirntion on the
face or excessive oil secretions. Pow.
ders IRE excellent for ordinary pur.
poses, being to great degree nb.
sorbent. But when there Is any special
inclination to oilincss on the face other
measures must be taken. Proper To-
tons should be applied. Among the
best Is one made Of boracic acid and
rose water and another of the same In
gradients with distilled witcl.hnzel
added. The following recipe is for ex.
IRENE cases: First thoroughly wash
the skin with pure soap and warm
water; then apply this lotion: Sulphute
of zinc. half dram; fannie acid, half
dram; powdered alum. half dram; wa.
ter. eight ounces. Then dust the face
with this powder: Sallcylic acid. 90
grains; boracic acid, one ounce. Do
not use oils or coldcrcnms on the face,
but do not be afraid Of generous appli-
cations Of pure toilet waters and
cologncs. Abstain from highly splced
and oily foods; also candy and rich
sweetmeats.
