Berlin, April 24.--The German reply
to the last American note regarding
submarine operations is reported to
have been outlined in a dispatch
which Ambassador Gerard sent to
President Wilson. following a confer
ence with Secretary Won Stumm of the
foreign office and Doctor Hecksger OF
the reichstag foreign relations COM
mittee.
No intimation as to the text of the
reply are given but officials here gem
orally are hopeful that there will be-
no breach in the relations between
Germany and the United States gov
ernment
Silence is also maintained regard
ing the conference OF. Chancellor Beth
mann Won Hollweg with the kaiser but
they evidently reached decision as
to the course that Germany will fol-
low. The conference was also attend
ed by Chief of Staff Falkenhayn.
The peaceful sentiment of the press
and the fact that many Germans for
merly favoring an unyielding policy
now counsel concessions are taken to
indicate that way will be found for
compliance with the demands made
in President Wilson's note, without
loss OF honor.
Ambassador Gerard held a confer.
ence with Chancellor Won Hollweg this
morning but neither had anything to
give out concerning what was said.
There is unquestionably a consider
able peace party in Germany which in
cludes powerful financial interests
represented by the Bourse organs and
the Frankfurter zeitung and including
also the Berlin Tageblatt and social
ist organs. Certain high officials also
would consent to a breach or war with
the United States only most reluctant
ly and under pressure of what seems
to them an unavoidable situation. 1t
may not be without significance that

With the possible exception of a
handful of extremists there appears

however, that if the government
should reject the demands of the
American note it would find the unit
ed support of Germans of all parties.
Even those to whom the idea of a
rupture between Germany and the
United States is most distasteful agree
in feeling that the government must
refuse to weaken its means of warning
against Great Britain even though
this should mean a breach with ths
United States.

Face Peeling Habit
Becoming Fashionable

Women of fashion and refinement
in this country as in Europe seem to
have been acquiring the mercolized
wax habit, depending less and less
upon cosmetics for their complexion
difficulties. 1t does seem a lot saner
to just peel off the WORKOUT skin when
it loses it's youthful color and appear
ance-now that this can be done so
easily, safely. painlessly and economi-
cally. There's no trouble getting mer-
colized wax at any drug store Gan
ounce will do), since its virtues have
become generally known here, and
there's no trouble using it-just as
you use cold cream, applying at night,
washing it off next morning. The wax
takes off the old scarf skin, in tiny
flakes. a little each day. The new I'M
der-skin which gradually appears, is
velvety soft and beautifully white, ra-
diant with girlish loneliness. Any sur
face trouble like pimples, red or vel
low patches, freckles, etc, vanishes
of course with the discarded cuticle.
1t has also become the fashion, when
wrinkles begin to appear, to battle the
face once a day for a while in a harm
less solution made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel. This is remarka-
bly, effective in erasing the hateful
lines.--Adv.

FOR BRONCHITIS. WHOOPING COUGH,
GROUP, COUGHS and COLDS


If everything was sold in as liberal
and fair a manner as Glenn Thistle
thwaite is selling Schiffmann's New
Concentrated Expectorant, absolutely
no cause for complaint or dissatisfac-
ton could possibly arise from any
one This druggist says: Buy bot
tie of this remedy and try it for bron-
chitis, whooping cough, severe cough,
Group or any bronchial affection, and
We will return your money, just as
we do with Schiffmann's famous Asth-
mador, if it does not give satisfaction,
or if not found the best remedy ever
used for any of these complaints"
Why not take advantage Of this guar
antee and try this medicine, and get
your money back, rather than buying
another purely on the exaggerated
claims of it's manufacturer or on the
strength of testimonials from others
and run the chance of getting some
thing worthless and also wasting your
money?

COUNCIL HANDS
IT UNWRAPPED
BACK TO BAvIS

i
First the board OF public works
handed 1t over to the council with the
polite suggestion that it be dropped.
Then council decided that the ques-
ton should be discussed at mass
meeting of citizens. but out of a popu-
lation OF $4,000 only one lonesome citi-
zen attended the meeting held last
night. and he. poor man. received a
verbal spanking from the mayor.
To make long and dull story brief,
council. after a waste of many good,
bad and Indifferent vocabularies. hand
cd the whole thing back to the board
OF public works unwrapped.
ut" 10 Garbage Problem
The thing" referred to is the gar
bage problem. Some gift for the board
TO receive But who can blame coun-
ell? When in doubt, let Bavis do it;
a system followed out with uniform
success during the last two years.
Wet garbage, it appears, has been
playing hob with the furnaces installed
a year ago at the city crematory at an
expense of several thousand dollars.
The board advised that citizens be
required to wrap all garbage, and that
large business concerns which have
much garbage be required to pay the
city for the reduction of such garb-
age.
RThe lone representative of the citi-
zenship who attended the mass"
meeting was H. " McLeland. commits
sion merchant. Sitting by himself in
the space reserved for spectators, he
looked as lonely as rowboat in mid
ocean. McLeland called attention to
the fact that his garbage, hauled to
the crematory at his own expense, a
.pravtice not observed by number OF
groceries which had more garbage to
dispose of than his concern. He also
said he sent as much garbage to farm
ers as he could dispose of.
Mayor. Speaks Frankly.
I'm going to speak frankly. and in
the presence of Mr.. McLeland," de-
clared the mayor "Mr. McLeland and
men like him, who have been sending
tons of wet garbage to the crematory
ito be reduced by tons Of coal the peo-
pile are paying for. and with resulting
iruination of the crematory furnaces,
are the men responsible for the gar
bage problem 1t won't be solved by
forcing householders to wrap their
garbage.
Council finally decided that the ex,
listing garbage ordinance is a perfectly
good one, the only throuble being that
st has not been enforced, so 1t showed
the whole question back on the board
of public works.
