THAT NORTH SEA FIGHT.

There have been conflicting reports about many of the big battles which have taken place in Europe but none have persisted longer than those sur rounding the sea fight which took place between the British and German rav:es in the North sea. Each side has claimed a victory and each has claimed that as tha result it is the master of the situation in that par tiCular zone of the war.
 The report which has just been is- sued from Admiral JellicOe, which is a statement Of the fight without frills or embroidery goes into the details of the combat tn a manner which has not previously been approached. What he says about the losses sustained by the British must be accepted as the facts. He is in Q position to know whereof he speaks, and it is positive that he must in time be subjected to severe criticism if he has in any way undertaken to cover up any of the facts which would show that Great Britain had suffered a reverse while he is claiming a victory. Of that fact he is conscious, and it must there fore be regarded a s a straight deClara- ton of the British loss in ships and men which he makes.
 As to what he has to say regarding the German losses there is of course less absolute certainty, but here again it would be useless to claim greater destruction than really took place if he did not believe that it was act ually so and if he did not have good and sufficient grounds for making the claims. That Germany's figures do not correspond with his is perhaps not strange, for it is known that it's claims regarding the British loss must contain that element of uncertainty which has to be taken into considera- tiOn relative to the British figures on the German loss. But these are facts which must come out in the final analysis and in a digestion of both re- ports and the admission of losses, it will be interesting to note how close ly these compare as Q study of that naval battle is made in the future.

HELPINe sANTo DOMINGO.

Down in Santo Domingo for the past few months, this government has kept @ force Of several thousand marines busy in an endeaVor to restore peace and put down the revolutions which break out there periodically. This country has no ambition in regard to that island republic except to see it succeed and to maintain @ proper gov- ernment. Some years ago in order to prevent the further waste of its re- sources and to see that it's obligations were properly met, an agreement was entered into whereby the United States took over the collection and disburse- ment of it's customs duties. This was for the protection of Santo Domingo from those of it's people who were placing self interest ahead of that of the government and from that time there have been improved conditions.
 Political looters have retarded the progress of that island republic at every opportunity. They have done their utmost to undermine a stable government and get affairs into their. control and this ghas continued since as well as before this government stepped in. and undertook: to protect the republic! against itself, and it Is because of, this that the United States, is now engaged in putting down the rebels and restoring that part of the island of Hayti to peaceful and pros-. porous conditions. It Is a case4 4where this country must. do! !ItE or Otherstwill because of: the anstwhich they have, made to it, and if such O thing must be done Uncle' Sam is the one who should do it.
 What the outcome is going to be re- mains to be seen. but1while' there has. been bloodshed in carrying out zsits. policy, this country is neVerthelesss giving those islanders to understand that the time has come when; past re-a volutionary conditions must come to an end and the quicker they come to- the realization of it the better. 1t vii.

After all the experiences which this country has had with the existing gOv- ernment in Mexico, nothing looms up more dangerous at the present time than the plan which has been started of sanctioning a $1OO,OOO,OO0 loan for that government. l. has been known that the revolution has been carried on to a large extent in that country through the assistance which has been obtained from this side of the border The ammunition and machine guns which were turned upon the American troops, which had been sent into Mex leo to maintain those rights which Carranza himself had refused to re- spect, were in all probability sent there from this country.
 The present trouble seems to be in a fair way of settlement through ne- gotiations between the representa- tives of the two nations, and it is ap- preciated that there are large Ameri- can interests in that republic which need to be protected, but the idea of putting Carranza's government in the way of getting the financial assistance which it so greatly needs ought never to be carried out until these negotia- lions have been completed.
 This government has been weak in many ways in dealing with the MeXi- can problem, but that experience should be enough to prevent it from rushing into a greater folly, and es- pecially at this time. Carranza needs money. He has been financially em- barrassed fer some time and this is the only country at the present time which can come to his relief, and there appears to be little doubt but rrrE, To ,a raG if this government lends its consent, but it is highly important that the outcome of the further conference be known before anything of the kind is attempted. To furnish Carranza with funds to ostensibIy put down the reb- els, but which past experience has shown are just as likely to be turned against the maintenance of American rights, would be the greatest of the bIunders which the United States has committed regarding Mexico.

THE, RUSSO JAPANESE ALLIANCE

TIE f1OSSS" "JFRF~ NtNE9E FAEE-,lpt
 War brings about great. changes. It was only few years ago that Russia and Japan were engaged in a hard struggle because of their conflicting interests on the mainland of Asia, where Japan was opposed to its ar rangement for naval base at Port Arthur and in which war Japan was successful.
 The present war has shown them to be decidedly friendly, prompted by the fact that Russia was one of the entente allies while Japan, being an ally of Great Britain under special treaty arrangement, was drawn into the war on it's side almost at the out set, and since that time the service which Japan has rendered to Russia in the way of helping it to get the necessary munitions has been inval- uable. Nothing more could have been done had they always been the best of friends. .:-. $ 4
 That they have recognized the ser vice which each could be to the other is manifested through the announce ment which has just been made of the treaty which they have signed to run for ten years. They have gotten together on the important question of their eastern possessions and the eX- planation of it is that it is an exten- sion of the Anglo Japanese alliance.
 From this it is to be supposed that their understanding regarding China is much the same, if not the same, as that which exists between Great Brit ain and Japan. Coming as it does in the midst of the European trouble it is not receiving the attention which it SCrL,+ be realized that it is not being dis regarded by other nations. It is an alliance which deals with the future and one of course which must receive greater attention following the con clusion of the great war in which all are now engaged. Time is bound to show what they plan for China better than any explanation which can be made at the present time.

Two billions bought for four bfI- lions sold is like taking in a dollar for every fifty cent piece paid out, and that is good business as long as its lasts. When Europe drops her present luxury of war and gets on her industrial feet again, she will be as mad to sell as she now is to buy. And then our four billions of for cign sales will melt away as rapidly as they have appeared. They are pleasant while they stay with us; but they are no more to be recokned upon as foundations upon which safe and endurng foreign trade can be built

HEALTH AND BEAUTY,


 If you change from high shoes to low shoes or slippers for evening wear before going out, bathe the ankles and limbs well with alcohol. When you return take g. quick hot bath and a good rubbing with a Turkish towel Go to bed at once or you will be apt to catch cold.
 To remove wrinkles under the eyes make a soft pad of two or three lay CTS of old linen soaked in white of CgE and alcohol teluaI paTtS), lay it under the eyes and let it remain on overnight. Repeat every night until you obtain the desired effect. EatEe the eyes in the morning with cold water.
 To cultivate gGod helath should be the object of every woman who cares about her appearance. There are four rules which govern good heaIth-fresh air, plenty of sleep, simple foods and daily bathing. The last is by no means the least The daily bath has as much to do with preserving ones health and incidentally ones beauty as any of the other three rules. Whether this bath shall be q cold or 0 warm one must be for the individual to decide, but the body should be washed all over once every day.
 The complexion brush should be used on the neck once a day. 4 s0aD may be used or @ meal. 4 cleaning cream should be massaged into the skin on retiring and before going in 10 the open for sun exposure. A good liquid that acts also as a cleansing agent and astTingent and gentle bleach should be daily applied The entire surface of the neck should be covered going around the hair line and back of the ears, rounding out the treat ment so that it will include any col lar stvle.
