Today-"The Strange Case of Mary Page" Episode No 12, The Slums. .'
 The testimony of Bennett. friend of Pollock's takes up this episode. He tells how, with Pollock, he dined with Mary Page and Amy Lerue, and how after dancing they made a stunning tour. Chinese opium joints followed visits to gambling dens and the city was thoroughly "done.' Pollock, by this time strangely lively. invited the party to enter a shooting gallery in the heart of the district. They did, and all tried with both pistol and rifle. A sensational incident ended the parry, and Bennett's only furths1 knowledge of the case was overhear- ing Pollock instructing gunmen tt "get" Philip Langdon, Mary's sweet, heart.

A Sure Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring i; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it 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 dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.

The trust head tells him that he has been mis- informed, and that he is welcome tc come. to the gas works at any time and see for himself just how things are. Harding agrees to this. The trust head, at once, phones Stone that Harding is coming to the gas works. Stone, is almost crazed b. his insane desire to do away with Harding. The interior views of the gas works are splendid and the ter rible fight that is waged there is certainly terrible. Other good pic lures will also be shown.

The type of woman that Julian Lamothe depicts in this picture is found on the stage-and in o.her walks of life. Her doings are of small moment to the world at large, except that her sordid and distorted moral code often works harm to others and is a constant menace to the social fabric.

WAR NOT NEAR AN END.
Poland Situation Not Satisfactory to
Leading German Thinkers.

Paris, April 19.-Maximilian Har-
den the eminent German editor ana
lecturer, is quoted here as having
made recently the following state
ment:
In his recent speech Chancellor
Won Bethmann-H ollweg did not show
that he expected Verdun to be taken
before Easter. I do not believe that
the capture of the fortress, if we take
it, would be very important, II 1t
were to fall next month the French
people would already have had time
to accept its loss philosophically and
the commander-in-chief would be able
to fortify the positions between Yer
dun and Paris.
"The Chancellor is to be praised
for stating that Belgium will be
evacuated in exchange for adequate
guarantees because, if in this war
with our enemies-we are not eX-
pecting the end to come before the
end of the third autumn luck should
turn against US fer some days no.
body could pretend that it was fear
that made us evacuate Belgium after
such a declaration by the only res
sponsible man in the empire.
1.-THE Chancellor was also right in
not stating clearly his demands on
England and France. He could not
without exposing himself to ferocious
mockery, say that Germany would
demand money and territory from
the English who have not yet been
directly hit anywhere by the war,
or from the French, who are far
from being vanquished.
"The Chancellor's statement about
Poland is unsatisfactory. An indie
pendent Poland, with the Grand
Duchy of Warsaw under the scepter
OF the HohenzollernS, would be moro
dangerous for the German confedera-
ton than Serbia ever was for the
possessors of Bosnia and Croatia.
How would the other German States
feel if, alone among the leaders in
this war, the Prussian royal house
were to increase its territories?
Whoever tears Poland, Russia will
wound her deeply, but he will soon
realize that he has really strengthen
ed her and he will have another AL
sace-Lorraine, an irredenaist Rus
STA, another, cause for war in North
crn Europe.

ANGER OF THE PATIENT MAN.
Baltimore Sun)

~ OdltlIuUIC obil|
Beware the anger of the patient
man.
If we were the German Kaiser's
most intimate friend, those are the
words we would whisper in his ear at
this moment.
President Wilson has shown an al
most superhuman patience in the face
of Germany's repeated assaults on the
lives of American citizens. He has
waited and waital and waited, while
Germany violated again and again
her pledged word. He has made every
possible effort to maintain peace, even
though it brought abuse and scorn on
his own head.
There are only s3-o types of men
who could follow the course he has
adopted. The first is the weak, OPP
inionless, invertebrate fellow who in
no circumstances can make decision.
The second is the man of exceptional
strength and determination.
If Germany has suspected the
President of the United States to be
Of the former class, she will quickly
be made to realize her mistake.

SUSTAINING
THE PRESIDENT

Most Of the influential papers OF
the country democratic and rcpubli-
can are sustaining President Wilson
in his stand against Germany's ruth
less submarine warfare, which coun-
try is paying no regard whatever TO
the rights Of neutrafs. AS might nave
been expected, his course does not
meet the approval Of Theodore
Roosevelt nor William Jennings Dry-
an, and instead of unfolding the
chief executive in u course he has
been forced to adopt or surrender
national honor, they are out in print
today with criticisms. Mr.. Bryan is
on his way TO Washington to endeavor
to prevent wal between the United
States and Germany.

follow the stand taken by Mr.. Will

1t is learned that the United States
is not acting in concert or stimuli
tancously with other neutral powers
in dealing with the submarine issue.
At the same time, it was stated,
some neutral governments might. be
passively sympathetic toward the &C
ton taken by this country. Sweden
was DESTROYS of joint action in the
interest of neutral rights in general,
but this government decided to act
alone in making complaints and de-
mands. 1t is regarded as unlikely that
any neutral would act with the United
States in the lates. developments OF
the submarine controversy. Aside
from the dissimilar interests Of the
United States and those Of Scandin-
avia and Holland, it was said, the
United States in taking SO grave a
step is 1000 miles away from the
country at which it is directed. while
the other countries most concerned
arc facing, as it were, the nation con-
cerned.
