WASHINGTON. Oct. IT. Holland
has submitted proposals 70 the United
states for the use by this country Of
considerable amount Of Dutch ton
mage. the quantity being variously
estimated 10 be from 100000 TO 100000
tons. There is at present approximate
lv 100000 tons Of Dutch shipping IN
American ports, about half Of which
has lain there ever since the United
States entered the war.
Details Of the proposals have not
been made public. but it was learned
to-day that Holland refuses to permit
any Of her bottoms 10 be employed IN
the war zone. Her ships would be
available for other war uses, such as
the transportation of supplies 70

SaysU.S. Army
CanBe Ignored
Insists That Not More Than
100000 Can Be Sent
to Europe

AMSTERDAM, Oct. f7-The "Wcscr

Gle by Major IloEo. OF the German
General staff, on the effect the en-
trance Of the United States will have
on the war. After reviewing the diff
culties of the United states in train
ing and transporting troops to Europe,
he declares that the American military
possibilities may safely be ignored by
Germany.
Before the declaration Of war;" he
says, "the military resources OF the
United States consisted Of an insulh-
GENTLY trained regular army OF only
100000 and q National Guard OF ~
600, hardly trained at all. The various
measures taken TO increase the army
will result in the formation by spring
Of an army Of about 100000, which
has only received minimum training.
Transport Difficulties Enormous
NO considerable part of this army
can reach Europe before summer,
while, in any case, large number
must be retained at home, so that not
more than 900 or 100000 men can
be- sent 10 Europe. The transport diff

that the l-b0ats are sinking more

and there certainly will be fewer Of

Under the German constitution. as
it is generally interpreted in Germany,
the Reichstag must give assent 10
financial legislation. But on at least
one occasion, namely, a proposal TO in
crease the standing army before the
war, the government went ahead with
its plans against the vote Of the
Reichstag. new Reichstag, however
voted the funds asked by the army and
thus the incident was closed.
All measures in the Reichstag need
an absolute majority to pass. The So
cial Democrats majority Socialists at
last account had eighty-nine votes and
the Social Democratic Labor Union
(minority Socialists nineteen. The
total number Of votes in the ReichstaS
is 897. The united Socialist vote
would be los. or greater than any
other party. Il is therefore seen that
a stand against the war credit by both
Socialist wings would be serious mat
ter for the administrations. Win NAL
contents from other parties they might
seriously hamper the conduct OIL the
war.
The war party would then be con
fronted with the alternative OF brush
ing aside the Reichstag and setting mp

wishes. thus affirming the superiority
o. the civil to the military power ln
Germany, ~ in war time. and taxing

been agitating.

Your present attitude is utterly in

enemy unless it is a war for justice.
You know that the present war is
the natural outcome Of the imperial

the European nations have pursued

Another of the belhgerents controls
a subject population Of 62,27O,56O,
while her own population is under

Be PRETTY TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandm0ther's old Fav0rite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition Of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and q
youthful appearance. It is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS


You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops Of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened cal1us loosens SO 1t
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t Is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.
