Heals Skin Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for Csc, or
$1OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo Is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
TODAY and save all further distress.

Department had previously suppressed
the name of the vessel because Of the
practice followed by Germany of exc
cutting the captains of merchant yes
sells which have attacked submarines

II was not believed that Germany
would mete out the same treatment TO
members OF the armed guards of mer-
chant vessels. as they belong TO the
regularly constituted public forces OF
the United States and carry commits
sions from their government. How
ever. the Germans hold the captain re-
sponsible for whatever occurs aboard
ship, even though the raval gunners
acted not upon his orders, but upon in
structions from the Navy Department.
II was believed to-day that the United
States and France and Great Britain
would come to an agreement lmme-
diatelv upon the character Of informa-
tion affecting the United States which
may be made public in those countries.
The announcement Of the arrival of
American naval and military forces in
