MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Peace Nav Be Near

Yesterdays dispatches from the western
front said that the British have noticed change
in the attitude of the captured German officers.
Seemingly they have lost confidence and hope in
the future and believe that the Imperial Govern
ment is doomed to defeat.
Formerly captured officers and men expressed
profound confidence in the ability of the German
war machine to overcome all obstacles. They
had faith in the General Staff that astounded
foe and neutral.
This feeling has given way to desire to talk
peace terms. Officers are wondering on what
terms Germany end the war satisfactorily to
herself No longer do you hear them talking of
Germany as conqueror who will dictate terms.
This change in the morale of the officers and
soldiers may be the forerunner of peace that
will come as quickly as war was declared The
impression prevails in many circles that Ger
many's announcement of desire to have peace
will come like bolt out of clear sky.
Contrasted with the downhearted spirit of
the Teutons is the high morale of the Allies
Americas entrance in the war was bound to
have twofold effect. To the Allies it was
added strength, to Germany another powerful
opponent, possessing material power and millions
of men.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified coccanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust. dirt and dandruff-Adv

Between the Acts


often have pondered over the GER
tainty that almost any mature person
in a theatre audience has lived or is
living through a drama as thrilling as
that portrayed for their amusement.
The thought gripped me anew as the
curtain rose on the quaint. highroad
setting for the first act of Rosemary"
and the predicament of the youthful
clippers whose chaise has broken down
leaving them stranded in rainstorm.
To me, whose nerves were still
jangling with the discovery of the
identity of the woman who appeared
to hold so high a place in Dicky's re-
gard, the problem of the young lovers
appeared very trivial
"She's worrying now because she
can't get married. l said to myself
grimly. How will she feel when she
begins to wonder why she ever did
take such step?"
l did have the good grace right
there to be ashamed of myself, and to
make a determined effort to get rid
of the whisperings of the little, sheer
ing devil who is a familiar friend of
mine.
Two weeks married and allowing
such treason to Dicky to enter my
mind, l involuntarily moved a trifie
closer to him, and he bent toward me
eagerly.
Enjoying it, sweetheart" he whis-
pered.

war. 1t is reproduced to recapitulate for the
patriotic American the reasons why his is
serving in military establishment.
Germany has forced America as it has forced
practically the entire world, to defend itself by
arms. We are fighting this war because Ger
many made war upon America is peaceful
Nation; we have no lust for conquest, no desire
for annexation of territory; we defending
ourselves against Germany because the Imperial
German Government entered upon a program
which meant the destruction of all American in
situations.
When we finally recognized that Germany
was wagng war upon us, we had seen more than
225 Americans among them many women and
children killed by German submarines hospital
ships had been sunk and unfortified towns had
been bombed and bombarded. Medals had been
struck in honor of the sinking of the Lusitania,
the murderous act by which so many of our men,
women, and children, lost their lives. German
officials had treated the United States, neutral
nation, as an enemy. Strikes were organized in
this country, plants were blown up, pro- German
publications were founded and subsidized, and
hatred of America Systematically sought to
be inculcated among foreign-born inhabi-
tants. Every effort was made to involve us in
trouble with Japan and Mexico Our repeated
protests were met with promises and explana-
tons which were little better than insults
The Imperial German Government finally pro-
claimed the unrestricted destruction of neutral
ships upon the high seas. 1t was the notification
to the United States that our people were no
longer sovereign and that if they would sail the
seas in safety we must conform to conditions
laid down by Government that defied nterna-
tional law, humanity, and elemental morality.
policy of terrorism has been systematically
applied by the Imperial German Government
since the outbreak of the European war. Treat
les that stood in the way Of German mlitarstic
plans have been dsregarded, women and children
have been treated with ndescribable brutality,
the noblest works of art have been DESTROYED,
and prisoners have been abused and maltreated
and civilian populations massacred and deported
This is why America has gone into this war in
defense of American honor and American rights
To have done anything else would have been to
surrender our sovereignty and we would have
been forced in the end to fight constituencies
and rapacious military autocracy-an autocracy
which is in this war avowedly for indemnities
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the control of the world
Our success means that our children and our
children's children will be able to enjoy peace.
Buy Liberty Bond, get behind your Govern
ment, and shorten this war. This is your fight
Our men are giving their lives; you are only
asked to lend your money. There should be al
least one Liberty Bond in every home There is
no better test of your Americanism.

If you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deaf
ness, cut out this formula, and hand
1t to them, and you will have been the
means Of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises,
etc, were the direct cause of constitu-
tional disease, and that salves, sprays,
inhalers, etc, meerly temporize with
the complaint and seldom, If ever, eff
feet permanent cure. This being so,
much time and money has been spent
of late by noted specialist in perfect
ing pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dispel all traces of
the catarrhal poison from the system
The effective prescription which was
eventually formulated, and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will
soon be extinct, is given below in I'M
derstandable form, so that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home
at little expense.
Secure from your druggist / o. Par
mint Double Strength), about 75c

Il pint Of hot water and OF. of granu-

one tablespoonful four times a day
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, duilness, cloudy thinking, ETC.,
while the hearing rapidly returns as
the system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment. Loss of smell
and mucus dropping in the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrhal poison, and
which are often entirely overcome by
this efficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore
there must be many people whose
hearing can be restored by this simple
home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this
prescription a rial. Glen Thistle

three lifeboats were in readiness and
that in less than three minutes the en-

four men of the engine room staff, who
were either killed by the explosion or
so badly injured they were unable TO
escape, were off the ship.
The boats separated and during the
afternoon the captains boat, meeting
an unusually high sea, capsized. The
men righted her. but about an hour
later she again turned turtle, and tins
time four men persisted.
