RUSSIAN PEACE
BOBS UP AGAIN
Report of Hun Offer Met
by Another Of Flat
Denial.
(By international News serviee.)

NY 1nternauonai news SerVieesD
London, June 16.-From Stockholm
report came today that Germany,
through the good Offices of a member
OF the swiss federal council, has Of
fered peace to Russia.
simultaneously Berne dispatches as
serted the federal council, seeing no
chance of success at present, will not
take the initiative in proposing peace
to the belligerents. The council, IL
was said, would disregard various Pc
titions requesting peace proposals.
Speculation was promptly set afut-
ter mere whether the council had
stated its position thus in order to
dissyow from the outset any efforts
which the unnamed member Is to
make in behalf Of Germany.
Separate Peace Courted.
There would be nothing surprising
In the reported formal German offer,
observers here point out. Germany
with Russia ever since the Muscovite
revolution. German statesmen have
taken special pains to convince the
Russian Council OF Workmen's and
Soldiers Delegates that the latter's
aims and principles are also those OF
Germany. Only today the German
government organ, the Nord Deutsehe
Allegemeine Zeitung, emphasized this
point, saying Germany never sought
anneXations or indemnities from Rus
sia, and therefore subscribed to the
councils doctrine OF no annexation
or indemnities," though the article
hints unmistakably that this applies
only TO Russia as aimed at "infam-
ing the war passion" of that country
and proving Mr.. Wilson's alleged in
consistency.

The Juice of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces OF
orchard white makes whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautitier at about the cost one must
pay for small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon Juice through a fine cloth so no

keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to bleach
and remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier,
just try it, Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon iotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. 1t should naturally
help to whiten, soften, freshen, and bring
out the hidden roses and beauty of any
skin. 1t is wonderful for rough, rcd
hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces OF
orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons.--Adv.

CHELSEA

The recent historical pageant given
| by the Chelsea high school may be re-
peated commencement week, so great has
been the call for IT, Over 90 high school
pupils took part in the recent presenta
ton, which consisted of seven scenes.
The entertainment opened with BOLD
Robin Hood" and his band OF merry men,
an operetta containing 26 characters.
The part of Robin Hood was especially
well rendered, including the solos. The
Indian scene was very pretty, both the
men and women being well costumed for
their parts. Most of Hiawatha's cos
tune had been worn by a Sioux chief
from whom it was purchased.
The Pilgrim scene looked like the pie
lures of those days and consisted of an
old-time song being first lined out" by
the elder, who kept the time for the
choir
The next scene was entirely different
illustrating the days of 81 to IS, and
opened with campfire scene with Off
GERS, guards and regular camp make up.
A group of ringers" came to the camp
seeking pass through the lines and in
appreciation VI IT'S Icing SIaHbth SANG
Dixie for the soldiers. There was a
night attack on the camp, call 10 arms
and many interesting features Of those
days.
The last scene was grand climax
which included 81 characters, each carry
ing flag, arranged around Miss Colum
bia," who sang THE Star Spangled Ban
ner and for the finale the whole chorus
sang America"
Miss Gertrude Metcalf as mistress Of
the pageant introduced each scene
The entertainment was given under
the management OF Mrs. Eunice Lewis,
teacher OF music in the high school who
presided at the piano and to whom much
credit is due for its success.
Those who did not attend certainly
missed a splendid entertainment which
showed what our boys and girls can do.
