PARIS CALLS PEACE
 NOTE 0F PRESIDENT
 "DRAMATIC STROKE"
(By Review Leased Wire)

PARIS. Dec. 22. "A dramatic stroke" is the way L'IntTansigeant heads President Wilson's note to the belligerents. Commenting on the note. the newspaper says:
 Every body will understand the i'm portance of Americas act MT Will sons proposal is clear. The United States has had to suffer from the war. Germany is torpedoing it's boats and the United States is sending us ma terial and already has given us iinan- cial aid
 Tt is natural that the President should desire to know the purposes of the belligerents. Certainly this act will disarrange the sly maneuver Ger many is seeking to accomplish at this time. Since the enemy has provoked peace proposals it is right that he should explain clearly just what he wants and that he lay down his cards. He will not be able to escape the re- quest of the American government. "As to Us. we know why We arc fighting. Lloyd-GeOrge explained il clearly in the British House of Com mons. We are fighting because wC were attacked and because we do not want to be attacked again"
 "On the eve of the Christmas holi- days" says La Liberte. President Wilson would greet the dove of peace with greater pleasure since he fears to see his country drawn into the melee The submarine warfare that Germany threatens to wage to the ut most. regardless of promises made, if it's peace overtures are ineffective may draw the United States into the world conflict. Secretary Lansing expressed that fear and it is what American public opinion dreads.
 We should be certainly desOlated if it's dignity and interest obliged Washington government to break with perjured and barbarous Germany More than any other country. France which was attacked without the shad- ow' of preteXt, knows what there is of tragedy at this hour, but we can not help it. Our American friends must take into account the fact that we are struggling for an end common ] 10 them and to Us. For civilization and right we are making war on war and 10 prevent forever the return of  contemplates with terror.
 ITO President Wilson's suggestion We Frenchmen can make no other re- ply than that of Lloyd-George. Let the Germans restore territory. let them give reparation and let them of fer guarantees assuring 8 real, not a precarious peace. and We shall be hap py 10 reply to the prayer of President Wilson"

29 MILLIONS ASKED BY BAKER TO MEET
 ARMY DEFICIENCY
Additional Millions Also Are Needed to Clothe and Feed I5O.0O0 Men---Means Long Time on Border.
CBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec 22- A def ciency appropriation of s2S.40O,O0O for the army on account of Mexican bor- der service was submitted to the House today by Secretary Baker.
 In addition Secretary Baker sub mitted a supplemental estimate of S11 ,250. 900 to clothe and garrison 15O,O0O men of the national guard tor year beginning July 1. It was con sidered significant in connection with the plans for retaining the guardsmen in the federal service.
 Testifying before the House mili- tary committee recently, Quartermas- ter Sharp said that if the national guard were retained on the border at a strength of 75.000 men until June 30. 1917. the deficit would reach a total of S50,O00, 900. It was more than $25,O00,000 on October 1, and has in creased in excess of 50,O00,000 since that time. according to the figures presented today.
 It is understood the strength of the guard retained on the border pending further development in the interna tional situation would approximately be 75,000 men, making a total force of about 115, coo, including regulars, com pared with 100000 there a few months ! ago
 The supplemental estimate of S11 150,000 to maintain the guard during { the fiscal year 1918 is understood tC ] include provisions for the replace ment of clothing and other property which the state soldiers brought with | them into the federal service. The i bookkeeping problem presented by de-mobilization of considerable mum l Der of guardsmen has been serious one. It is army custom that discharg
 ed soldiers take their clothing witl
 them, and presumably the demobil ! ized regiments will have to be re-out | fitted.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
 ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. Many of them never expect to save even what hair is left.
 This is indeed a pity, says a hair specialist, who claims that badness usually comes frome careIessness, and that anyone who gives the hair just a little attention, should always have an abundance of good. healthy hair. Dandrun and dirt help to cause bald ness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding
 The treatment is very simple; sham poo the hair at least once in ten days and destroy the dandruff germs by frequently applying Partisan Sage, a delightfulIy efficient preparation that the best druggists everywhere are now recommending as one of the quickest and surest treatments to stop itching, scalp and falling hair, remove all dan druff and to refresh and invigorate the hair roots.

scoring, and it was interesting to note that the acid producers were high. In one or two cases the plates showed almost pure cultures of acid organ isms. This emphasizes the necessity of sterile utensils. point discussed in the last report. It also emphasizes the great necessity of rapidly and properly cooling the milk. There are a number of ways of cooling milk. At any rate, get the milk cooled below 50 F quickly and hold it there until it is delivered
 The scoring was done at a time when there was great variation in the flavor of the different samples and it is interesting to note this. Some samples came from cows on pasture and some from those fed under winter
 conditions.
 The butter was allowed to stand at room temperature for three hours and the condition was found to be as in- dicated in the table. It can be seen that the moisture still runs low ex- cept in the first three samples. Two out of these three have sent butter to l the scorings regularly while only one of the last five have done this. It is interesting to note that cottonseed
 meal was in the ration of both of the samples that were very firm after
 three hours at room temperature. 1 The next scoring will be held some
 time in August.
