Lux is the modern form of
soap for fine laundering-pure
essence of soap in fakes.
Why soap for fine launder-
ing should be in flakes
Soap should never be rubbed
directly on delicate fabric
it coarsens the fabric and
gradually turns it yellow. Use
Lux which dissolves instantly.
Lux is made in the form of
fakes because in these tiny
flakes is condensed more real
cleansing value than is posi-
bic in any other form of soap.
In this way. Lux can be kept
absolutely pure concentrated
soap; in this form there is no
need for any air, any moisture
or any kind of fillers," which
have no cleansing value.

SOME SOUND ADVICE.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicles
DR.. John II. Finley. president OF the
university Of the state OF New York,

tional mission to France. sounds a word
OF warning that should be needed. He
calls attention 10 the fact that France
has deprived herself Of many things

thousands, and that practically the
sum total Of her manhood has been mo.
bilized for national defense But in
spite Of this there has been no forget.
ting Of the defense OF tomorrow. France
is teaching her children as OF old for
the responsibilities OF future citizenship
and though the teachers are women,
and men who have been so badly
wounded that they cannot return to
their places in the trenches, the process
Of education goes on.
DR.. Finley warns his own country.
men against neglect in this direction.
He says: DO not let the needs OF the
hour, however heavily they fall upon
the men and women OF the day, permit
neglect Of the defenses OF tomorrow.
Sacrifice everything TO bequeath the
spirit which has made the institutions
which we would preserve and enlarge
in our children" He also urges the
United States 20 take time TO prepare
against such exhaustion OF our techni.
cal skill as would deprive those who
must face mans scientific savagery OF
mans highest ministry"
There Is sound wisdom in these words.
Already II seems as II some sections
Of the country would be stripped OF
physicians during the first overseas
movement. While the filling in of these
important vacancies is matter de.
manding prompt attention, is only one
OF the possible breaks in the fence of
humanity that should be stopped. We
should take the greatest OF care that
the tone OF our national civilization and
culture is not lowered as a result OF
this unfortunate war.

ailments which are not Of such a nature
as to necessitate their confinement in
doors.
1t is to be expected that parents Of
sick children will use their utmost ef.
forts, as good citizens, to- keep the vic.
tins at home and thus prevent the
spread Of the disease. But the next
best thing is a plain warning to the
other children and their parents that
any child plays with the patients at
his peril.
How great that peril is most parents
do not fully comprehend. The mortality
from whooping cough is high. particu-

chlld's life. The old notion that this
ailment is a necessary evil. to be caught

4 NEGRO ARMY.

There are S7OO6O negroes registered

II enough OF them are selected in the

There should be no question OF enough

ed from so large a number. And surely
there should be no question as to the
desirability Of organizing special negro
fighting units for our overseas army.
The American negro. as he has amply
demonstrated in two wars. is a good
fighter. He takes naturally to military
life. He would no doubt give at least
as good an account OF himself as the
average soldier OF the composite army
now battling on the western front.
Such grouping Of the negroes In large
units would prevent outbreaks OF race
prejudices in our armies. And II would
contribute 10 raising the morale OF the
negro troops. They would feel that the
honor OF their race was at stake. and
conduct themselves accordingly.

Why Entente VIII Re-State Peace Terms

in 1870 although this particular plunder
should be repaid) nor as punishment
for wrong done, but only for actual
financial damage against international
law and military usage. Moreover,
only a small part-if any-of these in
IDENTITIES could be financial as fnanc-
lal lndemnities would be extended over
long period and would prevent future
economic development-to the damage
not only of the nation thus wrought. but
OF the whole world. Indemnities will
have TO be chiefly if not wholly. in the
form OF the turning over of valuable
assets. For example, ships or railway
material may be given for ships or rail-
way material wrongfully destroyed.
And above all there are still territories
so small that they cannot be independ-
ent Csuch as some islands, and terri.
tories inhabited so sparsely or by a
people so undeniably backward that a
pleolscite could not be the sole consid-
Grafton governing their disposition The
surrender of these territories may also
count as indemnities.
Some such terms as these are un-
doubtedly already in the minds Of the
leading statesmen of the entente. They
are approximately the terms America
has long had in mind, and will prob
ably ensure, for the first time, the whole
hearted support of Russia.
A complete statement. such as we
may expect from the coming conference.

everywhere on the defensive. The ter.
ritorial readjustments above outlined
are so obviously democratic and so
clearly indispensable to permanent
peace that the conscious tools and un-
conscious dupes Of the German peace
propaganda viii be forced back on their
main position, an immediate or early
peace without regard to "the wishes of
the inhabitants" peace by negotiations
based on the present military situation.
All these propagandists admit that GeiO
many is still undefeated; recently many
have declared that she must not be de.

propagandist, the effects Of the propa-
ganda is always the same, to aid Ger
