Holland holds lava and her other
outlying possessions. and maintains an
important overseas trade. with q navy
OF very moderate dimensions that
ranks perhaps twelfth among the ma
tions. She has some submarines. and
win increase the number OF her de-
stroyers and smaller protective craft.
She has also an efficient army, based
upon the principle OF conscription or
compulsory service The ordinary
field force OF the Netherlands army
amounts to about 10000 men. while
in the various reserves there are per
haps 100000 more. Holland has six
million people. as against our one
hundred million. and is not wariike
or militarixed nation. But she could
put 100000 men into active service
more readily than we could mobilize
one-fourth as many, using our national
guard and other possible sources Of
supply. II we were as wei prepared
relatively as Switzerland or Holland
to defend our homes, while continu-
ing to stand with them. as we now do,

Big Guns Are Rearing Along
ftire Western War Line

London - The whole western front
is the scene Of engagements. At some
points the big guns have been roaring
necessarily for days, the infantry have
been engaged in hand-to-hand strug-
giles; grenade fighting and mining
operations have played q prominent
part in the battles, while airmen have
fought each other above the lines and
have been cannonaded from below by
the anti-aircraft guns.
The Germans followed up their re-
cent successes in Champagne by the
capture of an additional half mile Of
trenches around Tahure. in that dis
trict, and their artillery bonbardments
in the neighborhood sof Massigcs and
Navarin have been answered In kind
BY the French.
To the north Of Soissons. around
Terny, and along the river Aisne, the
Germans started an infantry attack
but the French put It down. To the
south Of the Somme the Germans en-
deavorcd to surround outpost trenches,
but desisted under heavy fire Of the
French.
Seventeen fights In the air Is the
record Of Monday and Tuesday re-
ported by the British along their lines
in Flanders. In addition there has
been great activity south Of La Bassee
canal, where the Germans exploded
seven mines. Heavy bombardments
and an infantry attack in that section
also are reported, the Germans sue
ceeding in entering D British trench.

EASY WAY TO HEAL
COMMON SkIN-TROUBIES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but wsiII-tried and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema. ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's get a jar
Of resinoi ointment and a cake Of res
inol soap. These are not At all expen-
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water bathe the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin Is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer OF the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage, II necessary. to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again unless the

what an Automobile Buyer Looks FOR

r.. w. Vogler, president Of the North
west Auto Company, REQ distributors.
says that the fundamentals on which
cars are purchased by the majority Of
buyers who have analyzed the situa-
tfon thoroughly before making Sc
lection, are based on four things that
this class OF purchaser insists on.
The first question asked Is how long
has this model been on the market
Experience has taught the careful
buyer that first year model. regard
less OF who is back Of IT, is more or
less Of an experiment and the user
ultimately pays for this experiment.
ing.
When transmission Is located on the
rear axle, experience has taught the
buyer that this is good thing to avoid
because Of the shocks 1t must get>over
ordinary and rough roads.
A third point Of vital Importance in
the experienced buyers mind Is the
size and stability OF the manufacturer.
The experienced buyer wants a car
that is backed by the personal respon-
sibility OF some one Individual who Is
not under the constant fear that II
dividends are not Of given amount
at the end OF the season the position
win be open for another man.
Service Is the fourth demand OF the
customer who has been through the
mill. He must know from personal
observation for his own satisfaction
that repair parts are kept at the dis
tributing point or course the finan-
ciai and moral standing Of the dealer
selling the car is OF equal Importance.

DIPLOMACY Win GERMANY IASslB
Teutons 10 Treat Armed Merchant
Ships as War Vessels and Sink
Them Without Warning.

Washington, d. C.-Diplomatic no
eotiations Of various character soon
win confront the United States as the
result Of the expected intention Of the
German and Austrian governments 10
treat armed merchant ships Of the en-
tente allies as war vessels after Feb
ruary %.
Apparently il h certain that any
attempt BY the United States to
change the present rule permitting the
use Of American ports by merchant
ships armed for defensive purposes
would be met by n strong protest.
Correspondence also is likely TO follow
IL the United States assumes a posi-
tion which comedies with that Of Ger
many and Austria regarding the right
Of submarines to sink armed ships
without warning.
On the other hand. the United States
itself may take the initiative should
the entente allies impose virtual
boycott on American ports in the
event that this government decides
that armed merchant ships entering
American waters are ships Of war. and
therefore subject to internment.
The view Of at least some Of the
representatives Of the entente allies
here Is that any change made In the
rule bearing on submarine warfare
during the war would be an unneutral
act. The governments are represented
as not being prepared to admit that
there has been any change in the con-
ditions Of naval warfare which would
warrant characterizing merchant ships
armed fer defensive purposes as war
ships.
In Teutonic quarters. however, It is
contended that merchant ships armed
for defensive purposes are really
armed for resistance and that mer-
chant ships have no right 70 resist
Moreover, it is contended by Germany
that it is impossible to adhere to the
principle Of warning merchant ships.
as, should they be armed, single
shell Of small caliber could sink any
submarine.
American officials seem inclined TO
the view that the contentious Of the
German and Austrian governments are
well founded, and from several quar-
ters came the information that the
United States might warn its nationals
to remain of merchant ships that are
armed. This, 1t was said in German
quarters, was precisely what the Ger
man and Austrian governments have
been aiming to achieve.
The possibility Of the entente allies
putting into effect practical boycott
Of American ports was widely dis
cussed in official circles. The allies
may permit only sufficient number Of
their unarmed ships to enter American
ports to take away merchandise and
goods consigned TO themselves It
was admitted in high official quarters
hat should such a plan be put into
fleet action might be taken.
