that the people are beginning to think.
After the Allies replied to President
Wilson's peace note the Kaiser issued
an appeal to the German people. One
morning it was printed on the first
pages of all newspapers in boldface
type. When / arrived at my office the
janitor handed me the morning papers
and, pointing to the Kaiser's letter,
said:
II see the Kaiser has written US
another letter. You know he never
wrote to US in peace time
There are evidences, too, that others
are beginning to think. The Russian
revolution is going to cause many So
cialists to discuss the future of Ger
many They have discussed it before,
but always with lowered voices. l at
tended one night secret meeting of
three Socialist leaders of the Reich
stag, an editor of a Berlin paper and
several business men. What they said
of the Kaiser that night would, if it
were published, send ever man to the
military firing squad But these men
didn't dare speak that way in public
at that time. Perhaps the Russian re-
volt will give them more courage.
But the government is not asleep to
these changes. The Kaiser believes he
can continue juggling public opinion,
but he knows that from now on it will
be more difficult But he will not stop.
He will always hold forth the vision
of victory as the reward for German
faithfulness. Today, for instance, in
the United States we hear very little
about the German submarine warfare.
It is the policy of the Allies not to
publish all losses Immediately; first,
because the enemy must not he given
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-04-07

any important information II possible,
and. secondly, because losses have a
bad effect upon any people.
U-Boat Successes Dweit On.
But the German people do not read
what we do Their newspapers are
printing daily the ship losses of the
Entente. Submarines are returning
and making reports. These reports are
published and in way give the people
the impression that the submarine war
is success. We get the opposite i'm
preston here, but we are not in a
position better to Judge than the Ger
mans, because we don't hear every.
thing.
The important question, however, is:
What are the German people being told
about submarine warfare?
Judging from past events, the Kaiser
and his navy are undoubtedly magnify
ing every sinking for the purpose of
stimulating the people into believing
that the victory they seek is getting
nearer. The government knows that
the public favors ruthless torpedoing
of all ships bound for the enemy, SO
the government is safe in concluding
that the public can be stimulated for
some months more by reports of sub
marine victory.
Military operations in the West are
probably not arousing the discussion in
Berlin that the plans against Russia
are. The government will see to it
that the press points regularly to the
possibilities of separate peace with
Russia, or to the possibility of Hin
denburg advance against England and
France.
The people have childlike confidence
and faith in Won Hindenburg. If Paul
Won Hindenburg says retreat is vic
tory the people will take his Judgment.
But all German leaders know that the
time is coming when they will have to
show the German people victory or
take the consequences themselves.
New Peace Offer Probable
Hence it would not be surprising if,
after present military operations are
concluded, either by an offensive
against Russia or by an attack on the
Western line, the Chancellor again
made peace proposals. The Socialists
will force the Chancellor to do it SOON
er or later. They are the real power
behind the throne, although they have
not enough spunk to try to GUST the
Kaiser and tell the people to do their
own thinking.
A big Allied military victory would,

of course, change everything. Defeat
of the German army would mean defeat
of Won Hindenburg. the German god.
1t would put an end to the Kaiser's
juggling with his peoples nerves. But
few people in Germany expect an En-.
tente victory this year, and they be.
lieve that If the Allies don't win this
year they never will win.
Germany is stronger militarily now
than she ever was; and Germany will
be able for many months to keep many
Entente armies occupied. Before the
year is passed the Entente may need

asinine and thoroughly unpatriotic
boycott of these workers should spread

have enough labor to provide the ma

Every man who insults and abuses
peaceable Germans and German-Amer-
leans and so stirs up hatred and re-
sentiment, and every man who throws
a peaceable and unoffending German
or German-American out of employ
ment, does his own country severe
injury.
Such a man is not showing patrio-
tism He is exhibiting species OF
idiocy, and is guilty of moral treason
to the nations welfare.
The President expressly deprecated
such folly in his speech to Congress.
We happen to know that he looks upon
all such conduct with aversion and
contempt, and fears it's evil effects
more than any efforts Of open enemies.
The desire of the President and the
hope of all sensible and patriotic men
is that everybody will treat the Ger
mans resident among us and the Ger
man-Americans who are our fellow
citizens with a manly and magnani-
nous courtesy and full consideration
of their difficult and painful situation.
And that is what every really brave
and patriotic and sensible American

Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

- Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alka1i This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

HAUBER THEATER.

The story of the Prodigal Son, with modern surroundings and a strong love element is "The Promise" the powerful picturization of James B. Hendryx's novel, in which Harold Lockwood and May Allison are CO., stars, and which will be seen at the Hauber theater today.
 Broadway" Bill Carmody, son of wealthy parents, has been spoiled as only a young man with too much money to spend can be spoiled. He is engaged to charming and attrac- tive girl who is alternately proud of him for his prowess in football and ashamed of him for his escapades. He is a frequenter of gay Broadway restaurants, and is constantly the center of a laughter-loving crowd. Finally he brings disgrace upon him. self and his family by brawl in a cafe, and of his own free will decides that he will go away and make man of himself.
 Bill" finds work in lumber camp in the great Northwest. His courage and bravery grow as his sinews harden. He faces the camp bully, and though alone among strangers, dares to defend the right. His mettle is tested in finish fight in which he i sthe victor.
 ''The Promise" contains the lesson, told in story of breathless interest, that a man can always come back. if he is willing to do So, and that the best panacea for the ills of civiliza- tion is hard work. done with stout heart in the open air.

EXPOSE OF DANGERS
 THREATENING GIRLS

'"rhe Little Girl Next Door," herald ed as one of the most successful and most startling film sensations of the current year, and with long runs in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles, to it's credit, is booked for the Best theatre, Friday. March 16. The drawing power of "The Lit tie Girl Next Door" consists largely in the sense of actuality that it gives to the startling scenes which make up it's narrative.
 Based upon the little known bat
 amazing conditions uncovered by the famous Illinois Welfare commission,
 and showing in it's scenes many po:i- tical, ecclesiastical and civic notables,
 including congressman, senators,
 ministers, etc., who appear in the ac-
 tion of the play, the impression that
 it makes is that the spectator has been locking upon real life, which $ in fact the case.
 When exhibited in the Broadway theatre in Los Angeles. the manage | ment received many letters from patrons who were aroused by it's re- velations.
 'OS4ldtol WI. H.. f1l1u WIOLe. GHeIy father and mother ought to go with their daughter to see this impressive photoplay."
 Dr. Edgar L. Larkin, the noted di- rector of the Lowe observatory, said
 Every parent should see this scien~ tific social-problem play.'' Mrs. D. c. Bellows, leading club.
 woman, said: "A vivid expose of con- l ditions that ought to be understood.' Dr. G. H. McNeil wrote: True to l life. I have witnessed similar scenes | in welfare work in New York and Chicago"

Childhood Memories

Isn't it 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 chil- dren open accounts at our bank. They are taught to save pennies, the nickles and the dimes. In after years it 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.
