Organization That
Has Nothing Organic.

An organ is not at it's best when 1t IS
barreI-organ. Precisely what makes the diff
ference between the mechanical and the or
ganic Is the presence throughout the system
OF that invisible vital principle which We call
ia the lower organisms life and In the highest
organisms soul. Now, the intellectual preten-
sions Of the Prussian type OF organization are
very largely a fraud With all their pretencs
Of thinking things out thoroughly. they ere
really trying rather to shirk thought than tn
stick to it.
They are rnonomaniacs haunted with the old
and hopeless puzzle of perpetual motion. They
want to make a machine that will run for ever
BY itself The machinery Of which they boast
Is not only meant as laborsaving machineryI
Il is meant as thcught-saving machinery. At
the best, they try to get all their thinking done
at the beginning. They use all their brains
40 building up a combination of circumstances
that can be trusted afterwards to go of itself
II Is tnis that Is truly typihed in the Ger
man (as opposed to the French) theory OF
military success. All their ingenuity, industry,
and order are much more concerned with the
preparation OF a fight than with the conduct
OF It, We see this vividly in the long assault
upon Verdun; but It is almost equally present
I'm all the Prussian plans In this war. All the
living wits Of men are only used by the Prus-
slams to manufacture force that may not only
be deadly, but shall itself be dead.
In this quite impartial sense. we may say
that they cease 90 think when they begin to
fight. To say SO is not to sheer at their think
ing, hut rather TO repeat their theory, which is
the result OF It. When they ready they
will, in literal sense OF loose expression
fan upon the enemy. They viii fall on him
rather than charge at him. That is TO say,
they will regard themselves possessing
Lausa control by which they are a law OF
nature, like the law OF gravity Everybody
knows that their whole literature and philoso-
ply Is so written to reinforce this concep-
tioa, written so that the German fighter may
safely feel himself not merely fatalist but .

s7TUS war has forced many groups into
attitudes unnatural and by no means
specially symbolic-the Belgians to be
belIigerent. the Germans TO be seaiaring with

necessity, there remains something funda'

can be seen clearly in the long crisis on the

German fighting.
believe there IS very real weakness In
what Prussians and pro-Prussians. and many
people besides are always praising organiza-
ton The first weakness is that they generally
leave out OF organization all that is organic

"HUGHES' GERMAN PACT"
Hapgood Says Nominees Remarks on
Blacklist Result of Agreement.

New York, Oct. ll.-Norman Hapgood,
in statement issued yesterday, charges
that Charles Evans Hughes remarks at
Philadelphia Monday night on the Brit
ish mail seizure are the result of an
agreement between the nominee and Ger
man propagandists that he would express
their view OF the English blockade at the
proper time" He said the information
came to him from the editor of power
full German publication and that he had
documentary evidence. In reply to Mr..
Hapgood, Chairman Wilcox of the Re
publican national committee said that
there has been no service or implied I'M
Outstanding with German, French or
English propagandists. He said that as
the controversy was between Mr.. Hap
good and Mr.. Hughes, the nominee should
make the formal reply. Nevertheless he
said that Mr.. Hapguod had better pro-
duce his evidence and that he thought
Mr.. Hapgood should say whether Mr..
Hughes remarks were open to criticism.
Personally, he considered Monday nights
statement an application OF what the
nominee has been saying since the open
ing of the campaign.

With the above words, Lillian
Russell, an unquestioned authority
on feminine attractiveness, places no
uncertain value on nice hair as a
beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared for
hair not only cannot be attractive
but is actually disgrace.
But why have ill-kept, untidy hair?
By devoting a few moments regular
ly to brushing and intelligent appli-
cation of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE,
the hair may be made to yield Won
derful returns in increased personal
charm.
Dandruff is the direct cause of
more hair trouble than anything else.
The hair becomes thin, harsh, un-
even and falls out in quantities. 1t
looks dead and lifeless; there is no
luster. The scalp itches.
HERPICIDE will remove the dan
druff which is causing all the trouble,
clean the scalp, give the hair life,
snap and luxuriance. The hair stops
coming out, the itching ceases al
most at once and withal there is a
most gratifying sense of cleanliness.
To the woman who wishes to
make the most of natures gifts by
having fluffy, beautiful hair, NEW
BROS HERPICIDE is a toilet
necessity. 1t is exquisitely per-
fumed and is a delightful hair
dressing.
In soc and 500 sizes. At drug
stores and toilet goods counters
everywhere. Guaranteed by The

Shops and hair-Dressing Pariors.

GOVT. TO BUY ALL
WHEAT FOR BRITAIN
This Cannot Be Left Longer in Private
Hands-Benefit in Reduction of Cost
Of Carriage Will Accrue to
State.

London, Oct. 1.-THE British govern.
ment has decided to appoint royal com
mission, with Lord Crawford as chairman
to take steps necessary to ensure ade-
quate and regular supplies of wheat and
| flour. Announcement to this effect was
made in the Commons yesterday by Wal
ter Runciman, president of the Board Of
Trade, Mr.. Runciman said it had be-
come clear that the supplying OF wheat
for Great Britain could not be left to
private enterprise.
In anticipation of this action the gov
eminent has made large purchase of
wheat in Australia. Steps have been
taken to acquire the tonnage necessary
for conveyance of the wheat to this coun-
try.
Mr.. Runciman said the commission
would cooperate with the allied COM
mittee which meets daily in London and
has made purchases for England, France
and Italy. The commission, he contin-
ued, would avail itself of the experiences
of the committee, which had purchased
that importation of wheat would be
largely, if not entirely, under control of
the commission.
The possibility that large quantities of
wheat at present locked up in grain ex-
porting countries might be freed as a re-
suit of military operations led to a dis
inclination on the part of traders, Mr..
Runeman said, to hold more stock than
was absolutely necessary, 1t had become
clear the price of wheat could not be LETT
safely to private enterprises. As i'm |
portation in the future would be in the
hands of the state, he explained, the full |
benefit OF the reduction in cost of car
rage would accrue to the state The |
system adopted by the requisitioning
would be continued and the |
vessels requisitioned would be required
to provide space necessary at a fixed cost
md not at variable rates.

400 PER CENT DIVIDEND.
Armour & Co. May Raise Capital Stock
to $1oo,ooo,ooo.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE board of direc-
tors of Armour 4 Co. will consider at
their next meeting an increase in cap
itaization from $2000O000 to 100000
600, according TO an announcement just
made by R. J. Durham, vice president of
the company.
Mr.. Durham said nothing as to the
disposition OF this stock, but it is in
ferrcd there win be a distribution of ac-
cumulated profits in the business. Such
distribution would mean stock diyi-
dend of 400 per cent.
In his statement Mr.. Durham says
that the $s0,000,000 surplus involved in
the increase was earned in the period
from 1901 to 1912, when few dividends
were paid. The eompany's fiscal year
does not close until the end of this
month. 1t is believed, however, the gross
sales will show an increase over 1915,
when they exceeded $685. 100000.

Colorado Springs.-The case of Mrs.
Sophia Gertrude Chellew, who several
years ago started suit for half of the
estate of Winfield Scott Stratton, late
multimillionaire mining king, was
thrown out of court by County Judge
w. P. Kinney at the conclusion of
several days of evidence. He declared
his decision that the claimant was not
the widow of Stratton, according to
the testimony given by witnesses.
His specific findings were:
That from Dec. 81, 1878, to Jan. 2,
1874, Stratton was in or near Colo
RADIO Springs, and not in Texas, where
Mrs. Chellew claims he was.
That A. N. Poor, first husband of
Mrs Chellew, died in 1875, and that
therefore the claimant was Mrs. Poor
at the time she claims to have mar
ried Stratton:
That the claimant was not married
to Stratton Jan. l, 1874, in Texas. as
set forth in her complaint
Judge Kinney's decision ends the
suit as far as his court is concerned

not expected.
