The return home was not the happy

sight of her fathers statue brought q

her heart vault. She opened it to
send down some excuse about head

stood there. Her brave smile and the

GERMAN NOTE MAY
 END CONTROVERSY
NEW PROPOSALS IN LUSlTANlA CASE WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
 THE UNITED STATES.

WashingtOn.-New proposals from Germany for a settlement of the Lusi- tania controversy, which the Berlin foreign office hopes will be acceptable to the Unlteu states. are expected to be presented to the State Department next week. It is understood the ne- gotiations between Secretary Lansing and Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, recently progressed to q point where settlement was expected at Christmas. It was said the Ger man proposals resulting from these conversations probably would arrive soon after New Years Day.
 Information received here indicates that the Berlin foreign office is anxious to end the controversy, .n spite of adverse public opinion said 10 have been aroused by the American requests for withdrawal of the German naval and military attaches and the demands upon Austria-Hungary as 3 rsult of the sinking of the Ancono
 The present status of the negotia- tions is very closely guarded. The United States has contended for a dis avowal of the sinking of the Lusi- tania and reparation Tor the Americarf lives lost. A proposal by Germany to arbitrate the question of indemnity was rejected. It has since been sug- gested that Germasy might make re- paration with the understanding that 1t would involve no admission of agreement will satisfy the United States unless it contains something in the nature of disavowal, but Ger many contends that her instructions to submarine commanders to discon- tinue such attacks as that on the Lus- itania is the most effective disavowal that could be given.
 It is regarded here as especially sig nificant that a settlement of the Lusi- tania case should become imminent at a time when Teutonic diplomatic cir cles are represented as being prepared for a diplomatic break between the United States and Austria Hungary. Clearing up of the Lusitania case, off, cials believe, would have an important bearing on the controversy with Vien- ma. That situation remained unchang- ed, without word from Ambassador Penfield or any official indication of when Austria's reply to secretary Lansings renewed demands might be expected.

AMERICAN PEACE
 PLAN OUTLINED
ARBITRATION SUGGESTED BY SECRETARY OF STATE LANS-
 ING FOR BOUNDARY LINES.
PLANS APPROVED BY WILSON
Proposal Being Communicated to For eisn Diplomats and Are Being Dis cussed by Delegates to Pan-Amer-
 ican Scientific Congress.

Washington.-ln new step for the preservation of peace on the American continent and the development of Pan- American unity, the United States has formally invited the Latin-American republics to join in a convention to compel arbitration of boundary dis putes and prohibit shipment of war munitions to revolutionaries.
 Secretary Lansing's proposal. de- livered with the approval of President Wilson to the resident Pan-Ameri :an diplomats here for submission to their home foreign offices, has for it's ob- ject the preservation of peace in Pan America that it may face the old world free of internal dissension.
 While the proposal was being com municated to some of the diplomars and being discussed among the dele gates to the Pan-American Scientific Congress, Elihu Root, former secretary of state, speaking before the Interna- tional law section of the congress, made this declarations
 50 long as the spirit of American freedom shall continue, it shall range us side by side with you, great and small, for the maintenance of the rights of nations, the rights which ex- ist as against us and against all the rest of the world. We hail the small lest state, be it upon an island of the Carribean or anywhere in Central or South America, as our equal in dignity. in right to respect and in right 10 treatment as an equal.
 The status of the negotiations and the details of Secretary Lansings pro- posal are being held as confidential between the State Department and the LatIn-American chancellories here. MT. Lansing declined entirely to discuss 1t in any phase and the diplomats uni formly declared they could not dis cuss a matter which was in it's pre- liminary stage and under considera, ton by their home foreign offices.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray: also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth 8 Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy Adv.

INDICT LAB0R'S
 PEACE COUNCIL
CONGRESSMAN BUCHANAN AND OTHERS ACCUSED OF FO-
 VENTING STRIKES.

New York.-Eight men, including a congressman, former congressman and former attorney general of Ohio, were indicted by a federal grand Jury on charge of conspiring to foment strikes in American munitions fac tories as part of campaign financed by the German government, to check the eXportation of munitions to the en- tente allies.
 The men indicted were Congress man Buchanan of Illinois, former Con- gressman R. Robert Fowler of Illinois; Frank S. Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio H. B. Martin, Herman Schutels, Franz von Rintelen, David Lamar and Jacob C. Taylor. All of the men except Von Rintelen and Lamar are officers or former officers of labor's national peace council. The govern ment charges that this organization was financed by Franz von Rintelen, a German agent to instigate strikes in munitions plants while ostensibly working in the interests of the inter AdtioHdI pSdCe.
 Won Rintelen is at present a pris- oner of war in England. Lamar, known as the wolf of Wall Street." is said to have been his paymaster. No war. rants were issued for the arrest of any of the indicted men, as District Attor- ney H. Snowden Marshall stated that he had reason to believe that most of the defendants would appear vo'un. tarily to enter pleas.
 Rintelen is a prisoner in England. He was seized by the British author ities g.. Falmouth while fleeing from this country under false passport. He is under indictment here, charged with conspiring to procure a bogus passport as an American citizen. No effort will be made, however to ob- tain his return, as the offenses with which he is charged are not extradit- able.
 All of the indictments were returned under the sherman antitrust law, and charge conspiracy in restraint of the foreign trade of the United States. The maximum penalty is one years im- prisonment and a fine of Sl0,000.

LACK OF MONEY Was a Godsend in This Case.

It is not always that lack of money is a benefit
 A lady in Ark. owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demanded by a spe- cialist to treat her for stomach trou- ble. In telling of her case she says:
 T had been treated by four different physicians duling 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called on another who told me he could not cure me; that l had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months, but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the neces. sary sum and in my extremity l was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
 The results have been magical. now sleep well at night, something had not done for long time; the pain in my stomach Is gone and l am a different woman.
