method OF warfare had been first

effect in this war
My German auditors seemed in
cllned to believe that there was some
thing in my contentious But they
said, while possibly you might in
vent something in America, while
possibly you will furnish money and
supplies to the allies, you have no
men and the public sentiment of your
country is such that you will not be
able to raise an army large enough
to make any impression" Quite tim

once broke out with the Germans.
the Germans might force US by the
commission OF such acts as had
aroused England to pass a law for
universal military service. This prop
osition OF mine was branded by the
Germans as absolutely impossible,
and therefore am sure that the
adoption by the United States OF uni
versal service in the flrst round of
the war struck a very severe blow
at the morale OF Germany.

WANTED 752 MEN,
WOMEN, AND GIRLS
TO GATHER TAXES

An additional force OF T52 employees
is contemplated for the Internal Rev
enue Bureau in the war deficiency ap-
preparation bill. which is now pending
in the Senate.
Provision for such Increased force
was made in the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee on recommendation
Of Secretary OF the Treasury MeAdoo.
He called attention in the hearings
before the Appropriations Committee
to the fact that the work OF the bu-
reau was enormously increased, and
that under the new war revenue act
the bureau would be called on to col
lect about 81, 400, ,OOO. 900 annually. 1t Is
estimated that 1000. 900 returns from
individuals and corporations will have
to be handled.
Secretary McAdoo said the bureau
should be enlarged so as to provide
for two additional deputy commits
sloners and three new heads OF divi-
sions. For this purpose of enlarging
the bureau. the Secretary asked $5,-
6S3.000. which was allowed.
The force OF T52 mentioned Is not
inclusive OF additions which will be
made to the field force.
other branches Of the Treasury De-
partment are likewise shown to be
expanding their forces. In fact. such
an expansion Is now going on in
many departments, and especially In
the War and Navy departments.

REFUSING TO PAY FINE,
FOUR MORE PIcKETS

Four more suffragists, arrested yes

Mansion; refused to promise not to
repeat the offense and were fined S25

ty days in Occoquan. where num-
ber of other pickets are serving time.

ment of 2O,OOO,OOO other women, and
that they had broken no law by pick
citing.
The arrests were made by Sergt r.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visabIe to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many OF our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
of about three cents a shampoo by
getting some canthrox from your
druggist, and dissOIving a teaspoon
full in a cup OF hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead OF just the top of the
head, as with most preparations.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than IL Is. Its lustre and soctness will
also delight you.-Advt.

AUTOCRACY DRIFT
ny HOMER J. DODGE.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept 2S.-
That the fundamental principles on
which American freedom are based
are threatened by a drift toward au-
tocracy was declared today by Frank
w. Blair. president of the Union
Trust Company, of Detroit and OF the
Michigan Bankers Association, while
addressing the trust company section
Of the American Bankers Association.
He attacked the commission system
of the Government. saying the COM
missions were usurping legislative
functions Of the Government. The at
tack fell like a bolt on the conven-
tion. in view of the fact the war is
being run almost wholly by adminis-
trative rather than legislative meth

Feeding Of the French population,
which was carried on by the Ameri-
can Relief Commission, was a very
interesting thing to see, and in COM
pany with one Of the members Of the
French committee we saw the work
ings Of this system of American re-
lief. We first visited a storehouse in
Charleville, the headquarters for the
relief district of which Charleville
may be called the capital.
For relief purposes northern
France is divided into six districts.
From the central distribution point
in each district food is then sent to
the communes within the district, the
commune being the ultimate unit OF
distribution and each commune con-
tanning on the average about 500
souls. We then motored to one Of
the communes where the distribution
of food for the week was to take
place that afternoon. Here in fac
tory, closed since the war, the peo-
pie of the commune were lined up
with their baskets waiting for their
share of the rations. On entering a
large room of the factory each
stopped first at a desk and there
either paid in cash for the weeks
allowance of rations or signed an
agreement to pay at some future
date. The individuals who had no
prospect Of being able to pay re-
ceived the rations for nothing. About
one-third was in each class. The
money used was not always French
or real money, but was as a rule the
paper money issued in that part Of
northern France by each town and
redeemable after the war.

parts of Russia outside Petrograd

Moscow is disguised with the way

Russia, but their job should have
