HERR MICHAELIS TELLS NOR
WAY U-BOAT WAR ON CONTRA.
BANDS IS STARVING ENEMY.

Christiana, Dec. THE Dagbladet
today publishes an interview with
Herr Michaelis, German minister to
Norway; outlining Germany's point Of
view on the submarine controversy '
with Norway.
The minister said in part:
Germany cannot tolerate any spe-
cial treatment Of war and merchant
submarines by neutrals. Norway is
the sole neutral which by special in-
-structions has conveyed the impress
sion Of adopting the View Of the En-
.tente. ~
Germany is permitted by interna-
tional law to defend herself with all
her power against Norwegian ships
carrying contraband, which prolongs
the war, and the recent food crisis in
Great Britain, France and Russia have
shown that Germany is on the right
path. &,
Germany will not be deprived Of
the sharp weapon she possessed in the
submarine. On the other hand, Ger
many will always respect Norway's
really difficult position, and the most
we expect Of really Independent Nor
way is that she does not treat Ger
man warfare and German economic
problems differently than those Of the
enemy"

THEY SAW U. S. FIRST
Tourist Travel to Rockies Far Exceeds
That of Any Previous Year.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Americans are
seeing America first and the western
tourist season now drawing to close
has broken all records.
The many millions spent yearly in
travelling to European countries are
being spent right here in our Amer
ica," said L. NJ. Allen, passenger traf-
fic manager of the Rock Island rail-
way.
The tourist travel tkruout the
west is heavier than at any time in
our history. The building of new
roads in the Rockies is drawing the
travelling public to see the beauty of
their own country this year. The peo-
pie of this country will in the future
travel thru the United States more
than foreign countries.
Owing to the infantile paralysis. the
eastern roads have not benefited by
the America First movement as
much as the western lines, according
to officials of the Baltimore & Ohio
and the New York Central. The great
Chicago gateways have been damned
for days with returning tourists, and
at times the crush has been so great
that baggage transfers have been de-
layed. Chicago railway officials said
that figures would not be available
until November. but they would show
the greatest tourist movement in the
history of the nation, not excepting
the San Francisco exposition move
ment.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try 10
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough TO
moisten the scalp and rub i in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. IT is
inexpensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dana
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.-Advertisem

CALLS" WILSON
May Have to Recall "Entire
Sympathy" With Carranza.
First Chief DEGREES Death PEN
atty for Strikers.

New York. Sept. 20,-In the light of
President Wilson's frequent and en-
thusiastic eulogies of General Car
rama, his recent declaration at New
London that he was more familiar
with the fundamental principles of
Mexican freedom and the ideals of
Carranza than most Americans, his as
surances to the Mexican commission
ers that he was in entire sympathy
with Carranza and that right think
ing men all over the country must
sympathize with such high aspira-
tons" the latest known decree of Car
rama is of especial interest
The railroad men of certain Mexi-
can lines have organized and threat
ened to strike, wherefore. Carranza
issued, on August 1, a decree declar-
ing that the conduct of the labor
syndicate (union) in the present in
stance constitutes without doubt an
attack on the public peace and that,
therefore, 81 have decreed the follow
ing:
Recalls Law of 1862.
Besides the disturbers of the pub
lice peach punishable by DEATH as
prescribed by the law of January %,
1862, the death penalty will also be
imposed on the following: Those who
may incite suspension of work in fac
tories or enterprises Destined to pub
lie service, or who may promulgate
the suspension of work: those who
preside over meetings in which it is
proposed, discussed or approved (;
those who may defend or sustain
same; those who may approve or sub
scribe same; those who assist at those
meetings and do not Withdraw from
same upon learning their object; and
those who may endeavor to make it
ca strike) effective upon it being de-
clared."
The decree goes on at length bring
ing within its scope all who may have
any relation whatever to a strike or
proposed strike in any enterprise in
which the government is directly or
indirectly interested. The penalty un-
der the decree on January 25 1852
is death, by sentence of a drum-head
courtmartial without trial by court or
jury, that decree having been pro-
claimed by Benito Juarez during the
Mexican revolution against Maxa-
milan.
Probably Wouldn't Sympathize.
In a special message which Presi-
dent Wilson sent to congress it was
shown that Carranza had set aside the
constitution and all state laws. There
are no courts in operation in Mexico
because in the same decree authoriz-
ing such courts, Carranza suspended
their authority subject to his further
decree. And now. since Carranza has
literally adopted the policy of death
unions, President Wilson proclaims
his sympathy with and support of
Carranza and insists that right
thinking men. the world over, must
sympathize with such high aspira-
