Boy Carpenters often have great
deal of difficulty in saving cut square
to the edge Of the board. If. when
starting your saw, you viii hold the
saw in such manner that when you
look into the saw, the reelection of the
edge extends in a straight line, you
will have no difficulty in saving the

Ranae Finders Delicate instruments.

The remarkable performance of long
range naval guns is based on optical
instruments of beautiful delicacy and
precision. Naval range finders are
sometimes built more than 30 feet long
Periscopes as used both on land and
sea are based on the use of high-grade
glass, though the need for great perfec-
ton in the instruments is not so
pressing.
1t is evident that in developing the
processes for making our own optical
glass of the highest quality we have
taken an important step toward in
dependent military efficiency.

ONE MORE GERMAN
PLOTLAID BARE
Plans Conceived for Taking
Over and AnnexinL Bal.
tic Provinces of the
Russian Empire.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
French Front, May 20.-What
Frenchmen regard as proof that the
German government has planned to
annex the Baltic provinces of Russia
was found in German official
pamphlet marked strictly confden-
tial," and found in house at Noyon
after the German evacuation OF that
place. Both German officials and
German newspapers recently have de-
MED there was any such plan, but
the discovery Of the pamphlet is held
here as evidence to the contrary. The
conclusions summed up in the pamph-
let are: --.".
"The culture OF the Russian Baltic
provinces is German and has been so
ever since the first German colony
migrated there. The sulture Of the
Lithuanians and Esthonians is also
German. The Baltic provinces are
the most German of all the Russian
frontier territories. The Russian in
fuence has manifested itself there
only as an element OF destruction and
decomposition. 1t has remained pure
ly superficial and has been main
tanned only by the presence OF Rus
sian officials. Should these disappear
the Russian influence will go with
them.
One Geographic Unit.
"The country is almost entirely
Protestant, and the Lithuanians and
Esthonians are Protestants, exactly
like the Germans. Only feeble frac-
ton besides the Russian officials fol-
low the Greek orthodox faith. This
Greco-orthodox fraction, whose con-
versian was effected by artihce and
force. has tendency towards protes-
tanism and would certainly embrace
it if it possessed liberty of con-
science.
"The three provinces are single
and unique field of civilization: they
should form one unity. The three
provinces form geographic unity
Being our immediate neighbors, we
could maintain ourselves there much
more easily than in any oversee COL
ony.
Country Sparsely Settled.
"The country is thinly populated,
and this offers considerable opportun-
tiles for immigration. 1t is almost
exactly as extensive as Wurtemburg
and Bavaria together. Its excess Of
agricultural production is so consid-
cradle that it would make up for the
deficit in the German agricultural
products. The country possesses few
railroads; all other communications
are precarious. 1t thus offers a vast
field Of action to industry and teehni-
cal sciences. The administration Of
the country presents no difficulty, its
inhabitants having been for several
centuries accustomed to govern them
selves.
"Only the annexation of the Baltic
provinces woul. give nus the mastery
of the Baltic and its commerce"

Hov You May Change

Any woman not satisfied with her com.
plexion can easily remove II and have q
new one. The thin veil Of sitting half
dead cuticle Is an cumbrance and
should be removed to give the fresh. vigor-
Gus, young skin underneath chance to
show itself and to breathe. There's simple,
old-fashioned remedy which will always do
the work. Get an ounce Of pure mercolized
wax from your druggist and apply II at
night like cold ~-enm washing II off In the
morning. The wax will gently absorb all
the lifeless skin and leave a healthy and
beautiful complexion, as fresh as child's.
Naturally II takes with Il all such facial
blemishes as freckles. moth patches. sal
lowness. liver spots, pimples. It Is pleasant
TO use, and economical. The face SO treated
soon looks years younger.
To keep the skin free from wrinkles and
burrows there's, nothing quits so good as
the old reliable saxolite lotion. It Is only
necessary to dissolve an ounce Of powdered
saxolite In half pint Of witch hazel and
bathe the face In this as required. The
result Is instantaneous and wonderful. and

Three French Ports Want
United States BattIeshjps

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
St. Nazaire, France, May 2S.--(Spe-
cial. l.)--Three French ports are now
disputing for the honor and 'advan-
tage of sheltering the United States
warships during the war, and Ameri-
can shipping afterward.
St~Nazaire is not so well known as
either Brest, which had the further
advantage OF being first in the field,
or Bordeaux, which counts upon the
prestige Of its commerce, but il offers
advantages that its municipal council
and Chamber of Commerce intend to
exploit for all they are worth.
st. Nazaire is only 277 miles from
Paris, while Bordeaux is $50 miles
from the capital and Brest 372. II is
consequently seventy-three miles
nearer the battle front than its rivals
in the eventuality Of the landing of
American troops in France. It has,
moreover, the prestige Of already hav-
ing served as a base during the war.
The British service corps trans
ferred its quarters from Rouen and
Hayre to St. Nazaire for prudential
reasons during the retreat Of the allies
from Charleroi. British troops TO the
number of 10000 with $4,000 horses,
were brought there in $50 vessels in
the fall and winter OF 1ol4-i5, and the
first Canadian contingents landed
here.
American ships also became fami-
liar with the port after the British
went back to Havre. More than L.
100000 tons of supplies and 100000
horses from America were imported
there.
The harbor Of ST. Nazaire COM
prises larger roadstead of mile and
a quarter long and nearly half mile
wide, and smaller one about mile
long with channel OF about 500
yards length with minimum OF
twenty feet Of water rising to thirty
two feet with the tide. There is thirty
feet of water in the outer harbor at
all times.
The port can berth thirty-two ships
at time with present accommoda,-
lions that may be easily extended.
Shipbuilding facilities are ample and
all sorts Of supplies available.
St Nazaire is connected with Paris
and Marseilles by double track rail-
road lines and has good communica-
ton with Switzerland through Lyons.
The "Nazariens," as the $1,000 in
habi.ants OF the town are called, count
upon their $4,000 neighbors of the
sister city Of Nantes, twenty-five miles
up the Loire, TO support their claims
Nantes. itself, possesses a comfortable
port accessible to vessels OF heavy
tonnage.

Rome, May 20.--One of the meth
