WRINKLES

Wrinkles come to almost every Wo,n-
an at some time and there is nothing
aside from some serious disease for
which the average woman feels a
greater horror and repugnarce. 1t is
woman's privilege to he beautiful, and
most women are anxious to have n
complexion that is clear, smooth fresh
and youthful! looking.
But this much to be desired condi-
ton can only be brought about by in
telligent attention to the needs of the
skin Wrinkles diSfgure, and a dry
sallow rough skin spoils any woman'S
good looks. To those whose skin has
reached this condition we suggest the

the only thing that will feed the hun

ness. freshness and plumpness. and
drive away all the disfigurng wrinkles
that come so quickly when the skin

A few applications of tsit prove its

York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island,
conveniently located near the great
navy yards.
How. this great nationwide organiza-
ton works down to individual service
can best be seen by reviewing the
work carried on by the District chap
ter of the Red Cross. which is a model
for 400 other communities.
IN Washington about 1000 Red Cross
members have enlisted with headuuar-
ters in the Wadsworth House, 1901
Massachusetts avenue. The work has
been systematized into five general
branches of service, for which the
members volunteer.
Five Branches of the Service.
These are:
Red Cross instruction-This includes
elementary hygiene. first aid, home
dietetics and preparation of surgical
supplies.
Supplementary hospital service-This
includes masseuse. Interpreter, linen
supply room.
embellishments. linen, surgical
dressings and comforts.
Motor serEice-Including drivers.
mechanicians and donation of motor
vehicles
ers, typists. accountants and general
clerical york.
As each person signs a card pledging
this service. she is asked if she is will
ing to serve anyW here sent, within the
limits of the United States, or in her
home town only. No field service is re-
quired of members unless they volun-
tcer.
Besides physicians and surgeons other
men are needed in large quantities who

TOXIC, April 1.-tBy mail.)-The
date may not be far distant when
China will join with the entente al
lies in an actual state of warfare
against the central powers.
Were it not for Japan, the Pekin
government, would have aligned her
self against Germany weeks ago.
This statement may be made with
authority, based on statements Of
high Japanese authorities.
Japan's attitude depends on the
three conditions which the Chinese
have named as the price of a decla-
ration of hostilities. They are:
A Lewiston Of China's customs ,reve-
nues, with a general increase, post
ponement Of payment Of the Boxer
indemnities, and cancellation of the
rule which prohibits Chinese soldiers
entering the foreign concessions at
Tientsin.
These proposals were made to
the allies when the decision to break
with Germany was reached on March
Ia. The other allies appear not to
object to them, but Japan believes
they AFFECT her welfare. The Terau-
chi ministry fears If Nippon accepts
them, the opposition in business and
financial circles to the increase in
Chinese customs might crystalize
into opposition to the Terauchi
regime.
[The Terauchi ministry won the
April 20 elections, gaining a majority
Of about fifty seats In parliament.l
At conference Of entente minis
ters in Pekin recently the Chinese
proposals were favoraly discussed,
but Japan requested more time to
consider them. The Chinese cabinet,
too, is marking time. Premier Tuan

Haig struck another tremendous blow
at the German lines today in a pow
erfully revived offensive over front
of several miles north Of the river
Scarpe.
'Eariy this morning we attacked
on a front of several miles north OF
the Scarpe," he reported, meeting
considerable opposition, but making
good progress"
Battle front dispatches Indicated
violent fighting still in progress dur
ing the day along the whole 1fne Of
this great drive.
Germany is draining her empire
of men to throw against the onrush-
ing waves of the Franco-British
offensive. Necessity of interposing
some check to the steady advance Of
the allied forces on the west front
is being desperately felt by the mill
tary chiefs who realize the growing
discomfort In Germany, manifest In
various strikes, in socialist peace
propaganda, in dissatisfaction over
shrinking rations, IN agitation for
greater participation in governments
al affairs by the people.
Information received here from
Germany via Holland Indicated this
condition in the central empire to.
day.
Dispatches now indicate that Ger
many Is opposing the Franco-Brftfsh
advance with forces superior to the
attacking armies. And still these
divisions do no more than slow up
the advance. Today 1t appeared that
the whole strength of the French
and British attacking armies was
being made ready for another bolt
to be hurled at the German line next
week in a resumption of concerted
offensive.
After a hull on the French front
early in the week, made necessary
by the bringing up to newly won
positions of the French artillery and
the consolidation of gains won in
the first week of Nivelle's general
attack plan, the army under the tri-
color was apparently In motion
again.
To the north, Haig's guns roared
all along the line while his tommies
pushed ahead yard after yard. The
greatest pressure was apparently
being exerted along the Arras-Douat
roadway.

Ultra-secret conferences between

The revolution has developed two
leading factions in Russia-the duma

The duma is thoroughly democratic,
utterly opposed to separate peace

powerful Of the two organizations

for the allied cause or for separate
