AMERICA TO STRIKE SHACKLES OFF GERMANY
 -. -. sSi Enslayed Empire to Be Made Free, Daniels Tells An
 napolis Class.

n dAnaonstxnting to the world that . democracy of hundred million per- sons can wage war ehdciently and with unity of spirit, Secretary Dan- tells declared today i'm 2 commence ment address to nearly 200 members .of the naval academy third year clA1G, whose graduation was ad- ivanced by . year to provide officers for fighting ships
 Those who prophesied that Amer ica would not 70 wholeheartedly into this war have been discredited." said the secretary. ''The only divided councils have been as to the best methods to be employed. and when the president and congress have spoken their decision has been ac- cepted.
 aopr traditional policy has been against any but voluntary military service. When conditions demanded the selective draft 1t was written into the law. There were those who told us mon Of military age would not enroll and riots would mark the day. of regiStration. Instead 1t was day of consecrataon and the snrollment dicated.
 ssCongress authorised the issue of 3a, ,oOo, ,o0O, ,000 Of bonds for war pre- parstion. aThe bond issue will be . failure, croaked few pessimists. Their croalEinx wAs drowned by the multitude Of voices offering hard won savings as freely as surplus wealth. < Upon the heel3 of this unprece- jdented investment the Red Cross so-i ciety launched campaign to raise 31O0. .oOO, ,OO0 for that benencient world wide work of mercy Tt IT sirnposdble, va the comment of q lev.

 Tn the navy and in the marine corps the chief problsrn has not been to secure the man power needed but rather have the navy resources bAen taxed to house and uniform and equip the thousands who nocked to the standard at tho presidents hrst call and the army is securing all the men who can be trained.
 eve are going to war without pas don, without hatred. without lust for land, without trace of vengeance. We do not hate the people we are to night. We hate only the autocracy which harnesses them to the Jugger- naut. Our victory will not only make the world safe for democracy, will not only strengt then self government and end the fiction of divine right, but 1t will also bring to the German people . now breach of liberty and hope for the day when they will gov- ern themselves and be no longer the pawns of militarism.'s

 Paris, June 2s.--Major Pershing, American commander. has left ' the hotel In which he, has been staying since his arrival in Paris to make his home in q line old residence in the rue de varenne. 50 as to be near his headquarters The house formerly belonged to Prince Gortachoroff.
 The American commander was asked today to comment on the ar ticle entitled ''why we arc fightinss' published yesterday in the army bul- letin, in X which Con. Petain, the the objects of the war and why . 'Dsssse&nee naaca must net-ssbss con- cluded. Gen. Pefshing said:.
 II have read Gen. Petain's article with deepest interest His answer to the question is complete and logical. The facts set forth should convince the world of the justice of our great cause. cannot think 1t possible that anyone should hold different view of why we are in the war. It is quite beyond reason that anyone Knowing the truth should fail to condemn the course pursued by the German gov ernment, and the truth has been clearly pointed out by the distin- guisl,ed commander of the French army.
 There must be no peace except a lasting peace. The ideals for which the allies are contending must be held sacred. France will continue her splendid fight for human rights ant human liberties, and fresh examples Of heroism by her valient armies will still further inspire those lighting by her side"

STARTLING EXPOSE
 IN PICTURE PLAY

Startling expose and lively enter ] tainment are cleverly and powerfully combined in "The Little Girl Next I Door," which, after long runs in Chi
 cago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and
 other metropolitan centers, comes to 1 the Best theater tomorrow. This l Bluff for one day only by the large booking concern, Hayes, Golf & Ry- l land, has recorded the greatest hit of any film production in the large cities
 this year, and is apt to prove here as
 elsewhere the liveliest topic of dis
 cussion furnished by any local theater since Damaged Goods" was swirling
 around in the current of conflict.
 .The Little Girl Next Door" may be
 called sensational if by that term one
 means the exhibition of the unusual. The play throws a strong searchlight into the civic rat holes that were dis covered by the investigation of the famous Illinois welfare commission. It does it without being sordid or maudlin, as in the case of scenario plays based on the imagination. It is dramatization of conditions as amazing as, they are true, every in
 cident bearing the stamp of au- thenticity by the records of:that com
 mission. "The Little Girl Next Door" provokes discussion because the state
 ofFaffairs it lays bare:is little dreamed
 of by the average. citizen.
 It's stories of actual conditions are bound together by an engaging
 romance, in which it's little heroine supplies thFil lafter thrill as she es-
 capes by a hairs breadth from peril.
 'The Little Girl Next Door" began it's career with 9. record of 21 crowded weeks at the La Salle theater, Chicago.

Washing Won't Rid
 Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once' glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.

Isn't it a fact that some of the things that happened to you, in child hood are still among the most vivid things in your memory?
 Childhood impressions are lasting. As the twig is inclined, the tree will grow. If you teach the child the sav- ing habit by starting bank account, the habit will grow. Many parents realize this and have had their chill dren open accounts at our bank They are taught to save pennies, the nickles and the dimes. In after years 1t is easy for them to save the dollars also. You couldn't do better by your chil- dren than to help them start little bank account.
