Germany Denies Allies, CHARGES

Berlin.-"We offered peace and
meant what we said. The offer was
spurned. We shall fight on until that
peace which might have been gained
by diplomacy is won by our sword"
In substance, this is what Germany,
speaking for her allies, Austro-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey-told the
neutral world on Thursday.
The note is, in effect, reply to the
'entente's rejection of that offer.
THE form in which they clOthe their
communication" says the note, Eek
cludes an answer to them" For this
reason that which the central powers
feel they should make known to the
world is told in the message to the
neutrals.
Reiteration of the assertion that the
responsibility for the continuance of
the war does not rest with the central
powers, statement of the central
powers case In the conflict, emphatic
refutation of the accusations made In
the entente's reply TO the peace offer
and renewed expression Of "the will
to victory are the mala features OF
the Eote.

Belgium Takes Firm Stand.

Washington.-A supplementary Bel
gian note, which accompanied the en-
tente allies reply to President Will
sons peace appeal, pays tribute to the
sentiment of humanity which prompted
the president of the United States to
send his note to the belligerent pow
ers, and declares ardent wish to end
the war. 1t refers TO the German treat
ment of Belgium as 'barbarous," and
alleges the former government, after
the occupation of Belgian territory,
displayed no better observance of the
rules of International law or the stip-
ulatiOns of The Hague convention.
The heavy taxation imposed on the
country, and the deportation of Bel
gian workers, are denounced.
1t ends with an expression of pro-
found gratitude to the commission
for relief as well as to the generous
Americans eager to relieve the misery
of the Belgian population.

FALLING HAIR MEANS

Thin, brittle, cOlorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very

Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is SO beautiful. 1t will become

OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
Why Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after the war we will go
TO Western Canada" 1t does not Oc-
cur TO those making the remark that IL
they wish to secure lands In Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time TO go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be cleaned
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
I'm the spring of 1916 half-section
of land was offered for sale at S17.OO
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 1920 bushels
all told, grading No. /, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $2.O0) was SLIGO, which brought
the handsome total of Sc, 10000. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $500
equals $4,000, so that a buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made a profit
of $1,2S0.O0." = Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
THAT the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as well as make a
handsome profit, is the information
given by n. B. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush

Oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for S3,S00.00, has
threshed 5000 bushels of wheat, which
is worth at present prices about
$4,000. He refused an offer of
$4,000 for the land after the crop
had been taker off."-Lethbridge Her.
