GRANTS AMNESTY AND PARDON
President Releases Nearly 5000
Persons From Suspended Sentences.

Nearly 5000 persons at liberty under
suspended sentences imposed by federal
courts have been granted full amnesty
and pardon" by President Wilson in a
proclamation carrying out the recently
announced policy of extending elem
ency in such cases. Without the ex-
ercise of such clemency the persons
affected would have been compelled,
under a Supreme Court mandate, to
return to custody today
The proclamation points out that
many OF those under suspended sen
periods and have established them
selves as valuable factors in their com
munities SO that their return to custody
would serve no good purpose
Amnesty and pardon are extended by
the proclamation in all cases where the
sentences imposed were less than the
period between the date Of imposition
and the present date. and in all cases
where pleas or verdicts of guilty were
entered prior 10 June Is. 1916. but no
sentence passed. In all other cases of

RUSSIA DOMINANT ISSUE
AT STATE DEPARTMENT
Many Incidents Conspiring to Make
Clearing Of Situation Preoccupy-
ing Question With U. S.

Russia has become the preoccupying
question at the State Department with
the approach of the Russian mission to
Washington, the beginning of negotia-
tions by the American commission to
Russia in Petrograd and the continued
reiteration of the demand of the coun-
Gil of soldiers and workmen's dele
gates for a statement of allied peace
terms. In the shiftings in Russia from
day to day officials find trouble in ar
irving at the trend of the situation and
are eagerly grasping at all information
Recent reports indicate that the coun-
Gil of soldiers and workmen's dele
gates Is not SO dominating a factor as
is generally assumed. 1t represents
not over 100000 people of Russa's
$50. 900. 900. The council is confined
very largely to the industrial centers.
whose voice is always the first heard
and the loudest.
The peasants, according to these re-
ports. comprise the vast majority of
the population and have voted over
whelmingly in favor of a vigorous pros
ecution of the war. They have not as
yet shown the slightest sympathy with
the radicals. The one great event for
them has been the final establishment
of local self government. which they
feel is directly due to the present lead
ers and which they fear might be lost
by any change.
Great Hope in Root Mission.
Moreover. the business men Of Russia
it is pointed out, have recently voted
practically unanimously through what
corresponds in Russia to the American
Chamber of Commerce for vigorous
prosecution of the war.
Nevertheless, the continued insist
ence of the soldiers and workmen's
delegates for new declaration by the
allies shows lack of confidence or a
misunderstanding which. it is realized,
must be swept away before Russia can
present a united front. Despite the
recent American, British and French
announcements, this has not as yet been
done. and some means will be sought to
reach the Russian radical on his own
ground.
Great hope is felt that the Root mis-
! sion may find that way by its presence
! on the spot. Every effort has been
made so far to keep from tying the
missions hands by premature or bind
ing announcements and to leave it abb
solutely free to act as circumstances
| dictate. Mr.. Root is expected to pro
coed very slowly and cautiously. and no
decisive word is expected from him for
some days.

Expresses Gratitude of Belgium.

THE presence here today of the Amer
lean ambassador and the British secre-
tary for foreign affairs symbolizes the
devotion of these two great nations to
Belgium's cause, and / am proud in
their presence to express the profound
gratitude of my government and of the
Belgian people"
After expressing his admiration for
all those concerned in fostering and
assisting the work of the commission
and abiding to the changes in the ad-
ministration incident to the entry of
the United States into the war. Min
lister Hymans concluded by depicting
the grave suffering that Belgium still
is enduring, owing to the high prices
of and the scarcity Of food, which bears
heavily upon the working classes.
The destruction of food ships. he said,
had aggravated seriously the deplor-
able situation in his country. Tuber-
culosis. he declared, was making fright
full progress and endangering the fu-
ture of the race.

Minister Balfour Says Flag Day Ad-
dress Shows Justification of Al

LONDON. June 16-Arthur J. Bal
four, foreign secretary. yesterday sig
nalized his first public appearance
since he returned from the United
States by speech at the second an
nual meeting Of the national commit
tee for relief in Belgium. at the Man
sion House.
In his address Mr.. Balfour advised
every one to read President Wilson's
Flag day address, published in Friday
mornings papers, because of its rela-
ton to Germany's treatment of Bel
GUM.
"If you have not already read Presi-
dent Wilson's speech" said Mr.. Bal
four. II strongly advise you to do SO;
and at the same time to bear in mind
Germany's actions and policy in Bel
GUM. In it you wifi find justification
of this great alliance among all ma
lions who love liberty. against the
monstrous tyranny and coercion with
which the civilized world is threatened
if we submit to an inconclusive and in
effective peace.
THE one true remedy for the wrongs
of Belgium is the defeat of GERMANY

address of American Ambassador.
Walter Hines Page, the American am
bassador, followed Mr.. Balfour. He
thanked the American members of the
Belgian relief commission and an
nounced that although the entry of the
United States into the war had made
it impossible for Americans to carry
on the work in Belgium. the machinery
of the commission would be kept in
tact for eventualities.
Letters Of thanks for the relief work
done were sent by King Albert and
Viscount Bryce. They were read by the
lord mayor, who presided at the meet
ing Among the other speakers were
Thomas Mckenzie. commissioner in
London for New Zealand: w. p.
Schreiner, high commissioner for the
Union of South Africa, and Paul Hy-
mans the Belgian minister to London.
Mr. Hymans paid tribute to the work
of the commission under the energetic
impulse of Herbert c. Hoover. which.
he said, under strict neutrality. was
the first Intervention of the United
States in the European war. Continu-
ing he said:
To-day the great American republic

Must Cooperate Fully.

I'VE must cooperate fully and join
all our moral and material resources.
With us in France it has begun to be
largely a question of man power
France already has sacrificed her man.

lar losses-the glorious English army
of the battlefields of the Somme. the
glorious Belgian army in Flanders and
the glorious Rumanian army which
battled bare-handed against the mailed
fist. The same is true of wonderful
Russia. who has lost 100000 men.
so we are unalterably glad at what
America has done in the organization Of
it's manhood. But there is another thing
still more than man power. namely CO.

we also have made some serious mis-
takes. owing to the lack of CO. cooperation

Dand1uffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick. beautiful,
glossy, silky hair. do by all means get
rid of dandruff, for it will starve your
hair and ruin it if you don't.
II doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 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.
BY morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications viii completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
mt any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.-Adv.
