democracy and it's treachery to
everything the founders Of this re-
public stood for. We are against any
small body like the board of educa-
ton forcing on the whole public
school system their military service
plans without giving the people a
chance to go on record for or
against.
Victor Olander, secretary of the
state federation of labor, looked over
a stenographic- report of what Vice
Pres. John W. Eckhart Of the school
board said at the board meeting two
weeks ago when the military drill
measure was passed. Eckhart made
the. flatfooted statement that the
eleYenth-hour opposition of the
trades unionists to military drill was
inspired"
The exact words in which Eckhart
accuses the labor declarations Of
statements favoring military drill viii
be brought into resolutions and dis
cussions at the federation meeting
Sunday.
Whatever the precise position of
labor may be on military drill in pub
lie schools, there is one point we have
always been clear and decisive on
and that is the right of the people to
vote on any war measures of import
ance," said Olander. Eve have per
sistently asked for referendum on
military drill. The declaration Of
Vice Pres. Eckhart that our organ
izations favor such drastic imposi-
ton, such arrogant action as this
military drill business, is either non
sense or falsehood."

same way the great European war

board with view to getting a re-
ferendum on the military drill propo-
sition.

eff the people of the nations of
Europe had only had a chance to
vote on whether they should go out
and butcher each other, the results,

military drill thrust on them, should \
have the right to vote yes or no

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did IL ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, many are
leading ladies Just because OF
their attractive locks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the nat
ural beauty of their hair by care
full shampooing, not with any soap
or makeshift, but with simple
mixture by putting teaspoonful
of canthrox (Which they get from
the druggist) in cup of hot wa
ter and applying this instead OF
soap. This full cup of shampoo
liquid is enough 1t is easy to
apply IL to all III instead OF
Just the top of & ..ead. After Its
use. the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff. excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and en-

than It is, while its lustre and
softness is delightful.

blows, delivered with terrific
force and strength against Haig's
newly won positions in the Ypres
sector were flung back by British
defenders last night, the British

All of the assaults were defeated.
Battle front dispatches today
indicated the fighting was almost
continuous along the six-mile

The maximum depth to which
the British drive penetrated the
German lines over the six-mile
front line was approximately a
mile in the Honnebeke sector.

Bulgaria is not interested in
Kaiser Wilhelm's dream of a
Mittel Europa empire.
In an interview with the Unit
cd Press today, Stephan Panare-
toff. Bulgarian minister to the
United States, said his country
had attained the sole ends for
which 1t entered the war, and is
ready to quit, providing she can
keep the territory which by Ian
guage. nationality and historic
right belongs to her"
Bulgaria. he said. would have
preferred to have fought on the
side OF the allies, but Germany
made a more acceptable business
proposition.
Bulgaria entered the world
war with one object in view
regaining Dobruja, Macedonia
and parts of Serbia which were
unjustly taken from her during
the Balkan war and In the treaty
of 1879 said Panaretoff frankly.
"She had no particular love for
the central powerS-in fact, a
few years before we had been at
war with Turkey. And the price
of entering the war was restora-
ton of former territory, which
by President Wilson's own state
ment of national boundaries
rightfully belongs to her."
