A NetO Thing
for a Cigarette to Do

CHESTERFIELDS do the one thing
- you have always wished a cigarette
fO0Nld do-they satisfy &!
Smoke them and we believe you will
find that ordinary cigarettes seem by
comparison almost fiat.
Give Chesterfelds a trial. We
believe you will be glad to learn
what they can teach you about
cigarette enjoyment.

You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about cigarette. If Chesterfelds
were an untried cigarette - if we had
not been observing their behavior in
other cities-if we did not KNOW that
they make good with smokers, we could
not afford to make these statements to
you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your first
Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterfelds waiting for you.

Verdun and Gettysburg

ltfom Evening Ledger. Philadelphia. |
News from Verdun in the last three
DAYS has been only a little more dis
couraging than the complete lack of

advance is simply a more dramatic
way, costly but necessary way, of
driving home the truth that Germany
has failed. OF all her gains in a battle

probably because the German gains
were great but indecisive. Even now
there is some dispute, but ii seems
clear that the French are attacking on
the north side of The hill. which lies
north and west OF Nerdun. 1t is,
therefore. unlikely that the hill was
ever actually in German hands, and it
was certainly never out of French fire.
There and elsewhere the French are
pushing slow but uniformly success
ful offensive, and German resistance is
unavailing. II is reported from AM
sterdam that 100000 Germans are in
the Meuse Valley. but it is also re-
ported that civilians are deserting

THE LAST NOTE

NERMANY'S diplomacy always in
IT wolves the art of concealing the
real thought of Berlin in a clever
tumble of language. Just what is
meant in the reply from Potsdam re-
garding the future submarine policy
of the Kaiser is now a matter of
speculation at Washington, but the
apparent disposition of the State De-
partment is TO accept at their face
value the promises and assurances
contained in this last note.
As usual, Berlin endeavors to en-
force demand upon England with
relation TO the British food embargo
through the United States, but mani
festly this country cannot give any
heed to a suggestion from one belli-
gerent which may effect another of
the warning nations. 1t is true that
we have been mighty patient and have
done many things we should not have
done, but it is inconceivable that the
United States would give any consid-
Grafton to a demand of this character.
our dealings with England must be
with England alone and not as a re-
sponse to German suggestion.
In the light of what has transpired
during the last year we should not be
too confident of the pacific intentions
of Germany. Promises have been
made time after time only to be
broken and it remains to be seen
whether this latest note will bring
about any improvement in the condi-
tions which have threatened a break
in the friendly relations of the two
nations. If the note on submarine
warfare means anything, it probably
means that there is to be a change
along the lines of the American de-
mand, but in the last analysis 1t may
only mean a gain in time for the
Kaiser.

Feet and Fashion

FROM the ONO State Journal
From a college in the West comes
the report that the feet of twenty
three co-eds were examined and only
three were pronounced fair. and not
one perfect. The physical director OF
the college attributes this defect TO
wearing high-heeled, pointed -toed
shoes. She says this fashion is the
cause of all the disorders of the feet.
But the damsels don't seem to care a
snap for the physical deformities, so
they are in the fashion. But one is
apt to conclude, when he sees those
pretty feet tripping along the sidewalk,
that there is crushed, mangled and
deformed foot.
From the pictures in the news
papers, where we get all our infor-
nation, one would judge that the
female foot was becoming almost
idealized to a beautiful fancy and that
art and physical deformity were in
joyous alliance. But it will not always
be so. In the good time coming there
will be a respect for Gods law suf-
ficient to repudiate the DEGREES of
Paris.

a telephone or telegraph message, you
are subscribing to Mr.. Underwood's
fund to get the Government out of
the hole. You, with millions of
others, have been made underwriters
to the failure of the Underwood tariff
law as a revenue producer.
You were not asked to do that
when Republican tariff law was on
the statute books. You didn't feel the
tax which swas collected at the ports
of the country. That it was taken
out of the pockets of the consumer
by the advance in the cost of living
is now proved to be an utter fallacy.
That argument has not even Demo-
cratic backing to-day. The old idea
that the tariff was added to the price
of goods Is exploded. The cost OF
living was higher just prior to the
war, under Democratic near-free-
trade, than it was the year before
under the Republican law. The for
eigner or importer pocketed the diff
ference in rates. The consumer got
no benefit in the shape of reduced
prices.
Now, then, the Democratic low-duty
tariff having been passed in order to
reduce the cost of living, which it did
not do, and to increase the revenues,
which decreased under its operation;
and the Republican law having sup
billed ample revenues, turning over to
the Democrats a legacy of between
forty and fifty millions of dollars, and

EUROPE'S FUTURE POPULATION
By Frederic J. Haskin

TIME countries of Europe now at
war may in future years be
- populated by veritable race OF
dwarfs, if the war continues much
longer, according to the speculations
of some scientists. Interest is now
turning largely away from the war
itself and toward it's ultimate effects,
social and industrial. One of the most
interesting questions presented is
what changes the war will cause in
the races of Europe, and this is of
immediate Importance TO the Ameri-
can people, for by immigration We
will share whatever heritage the war
leaves to the European nations.
Speculation as to the future size of
Europeans is based largely upon the
well-known fact that the Napoleonic
wars reduced the average size of the
French people. This is an opinion
commonly held in France itself, and
is adequately established by the rec
ords of the army. Napoleon had re-
height which he had set for his SOL
diers. Furthermore the measure
ments of the young men who an
nually offered themselves for COM
pulsory service shows that during the
twenty-year period of the war the
number of those rejected for insuffi-
cient size greatly increased.
A loss of size in itself is not inn
portant, but it pretty certainly i'm
plies a loss of other valuable physical
qualities. Thus during the period Of
the great French wars, the number
of conscripts who had to he rejected
because of infirmities increased one
third.
Now the scientists who argue that
the present war is to result in a phys
ically degenerate European race
point out that the present war is

POLITICS AND HIGHWAYS

nOLlTlCAL rumors to the effect
that the policy of the late High
way Commissioner Cunningham
with respect to keeping his great de-
partment out of the swirl of politics
would be overturned in the interest of
Governor Brumbaugh's campaign for
the Presidency were given their
quietus by the Governor himself when
he declared that under no circum-
stances would this department or
any other department of the State
Government be permitted to become
involved in political activities.
This statement by the Governor
will go far toward correcting a rather
disturbing thought in the minds Of
the public. only a lew days before
his death Mr.. Cunningham declared
that he would not stultify his own
position or the position of the ad-
ministration 10y allowing the depart
.ment forces to be drawn into a heated
political controversy He had made
his position clear throughout the
State in many public addresses, with
the knowledge and approval of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, and was deter
mined, he observed the week he was
fatally stricken, TO maintain an abso-
lutely consistent attitude in this mat
ter and TO give his whole time and
thought to the improvement of the
road system of the Commonwealth.
Governor Brumbaugh was in close
and intimate terms with Mr. Cum
ningham and it is known that he en-
tertained for the dead Commissioner
high regard, 1t was therefore quite
natural that the Governor himself
should stamp out in the most emphatic
way the rumors which were floating
hither and thither regarding the i'm
pending activities of the Department
of Highways in the unfortunate fac
tional warfare Of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania.

TN addressing the Senate on the re-
peal of the free sugar clause,
Senator Underwood, author Of the
present tariff law, said:
Where your (the Republican,
tariff wall was built so high that
YOU prohibited importations by it.
there was no revenue; and when we
said we proposed to have competi-
tive tariff. we declared in favor of
lowering that wall TO a point where
reasonable importations could come
over and the Government of the
United States could have an oppor-
tunity TO collect its revenue at the
custom house a competi-
tive tariff means a tariff that viii
collect revenue.
There was never any fault to find
under the Dingley and Payne tariff
laws respecting lack of revenues.
Duties were laid not on a prohibitory
basis, but on a protective basis, and
they were so adjusted that while they
protected American industries and
American labor, they likewise pro-
Vided ample revenues. There was
never any necessity, except during the
Spanish War, to fall back on stamp
taxation. Our revenues were collected
Ddlu
by the foreigners.
Underwood's competitive tariff
brought some revenue, but it fell short
of doing its share toward the upkeep
of the Government, even if economy
had been practiced. With a Demo
cratic Administration engaged i'm the
widest sort of eXtravagances the law
was wholly incapable of maintaining
a balance. Hence, the report of the
first gun in the European struggle
was the signal to enact a war tax
at home to piece out the falling
revenues with internal taxation COM
ing directly from the pockets of the
people. Proprietors of theaters who
pay tax on seating capacity, circuses,

chants, are all helping out the Demo-
cratic tariff law. Every time YOU
