history. In January earnings were

ALL HUNLAND MAD
AT U-BOAT SHRINE
Germans Hunger AcuteIy,
But Are Sure Of Victory.
CHILDREN GROWING THINNER
Under Water Craft Depended Upon
to Starve English, as Well.

COPENHAGEN, June %. Berlin
and all Germany Is submarine mad.
Men and women, with their faces
pinched b. lack Of ADEQUATE food,
are heroically and sinEle-mindedly
fixed in their belief that the thousand
or more underwater craft which the
public Is now led to believe Germany
has in the war zone will win for the
Kaiser.
No discomfJrts incident to ach.sv-
ing that success are too great to be
borne,
This is the picture Of Germany from
the German viewpoint, presented to-
DAY. The Information was contained
in letter received here today by q
Danish resident with close friends in
Official positions in Berlin. Despite
all difficulties of food supply, the
writer said, the German paDlic held
complete confidence in the C-boat's
mastery OF the war.
England Vital Enemy.
Every one believes England's de-
feat is the prime consideration" the
German writer declared. Germans
regard England as the one nation
responsible for prolongatIon Of the
war. The German government, the
navy, the army, and the people, are
not anxious to sctart open hostilities
against America. England is Ger
many's main enemy and Germany
thinks that through the submarines
she has found the weapon which will
bring England to her knees.
The public expresses regret that
English women and children will
have to suffer through lack Of food
but 1t remembers that the German
women and children have been suf-
fering for a long time on account OF
Englands starvation blockade of
Germany.
"Of course there is suffering here
through lack OF adequate food. The
children are growing thinner. All
our faces are pinched-except those
OF the food grafters, and there are
plenty of these. 1t is true that we
have only enough to live on.
But we are going ahead and we
are watching daily the work of our
submarines.
In the meantime we have cheering
news OF vegetables and cereals that
Will be plentiful soon. Also our meat
ration has been increased and we are
told the toll OF the submarines will
be increasingly large.
Russia and Austria
I'VE do not know what will happen
in Russia She may make a sep
arate peace. in which case Germany
would easily be able to lend her
plenty OF money-even billions. Italy
would undoubtedly make a separate
peace, likewise, OF Russia took this
step-because Italy fears for what
the Austrian troops might do on her
borders IL they were released from
the Russian front With this, 1t
seems probable France might be per-
mitted to do likewise on certain IA
vorable terms which Germany would
be willing to grant
Under such circumstances nobody /
thinks England would be foolish |
enough TO stick in the war alone, or
with the United States. II England
did, Germany could literally put a
steel net OF submarines around the
British Isles and starve them out
1t would not take more than a few
either"

FIREMEN FOIL FLAMES WITH
 SAFETY SUIT

The Cincinnati (Ohio) fire depart ment has been testing a new safety apparel for firemen. The man who wears it can stand right in the midst of flames. He need not fear the glowing embers around his feet. He can walk into fire and 1t will dwin- dle away and go out around him.
 The dress is made of fireproof can vas of two thicknesses, between which waters flows constantly. The water enters by means of a perforted brass tube which encircles the neck between the two thieknesses of canvas and flows down between the layers through the arms and legs, finding exits at the finger tips and around the soles of the feet.
 Water flowing only between the two thicknesses of canvas would not offer complete protection to the wearer. To keep him cool and comfortable while standing in the hottest fire, two brass perforated tubes encricle helmet and give him a constant shower-bath from the outside as well as within the folds of the uniform.

CLAIMS U. s. IS WATCHING JAPAN
 FOR NEXT MOVE

AMSTERDAM, April l9.-Under the caption "The Bitter Bit" the Kielnische VolkS Zeitung prints an article under Berlin date which pur- ports to explain Americas plan in the Far East. It says:
 The antagonism between America and Japan arose over China, but Washington proved craftier than Tokyo and forced China to break with Germany by which action Japan like ESau was cheated of iCS rights as the first born. President Wilson realized the importance of Chinese and Jap aneSe questions better than any of his predecessors and adopted strong policy in support of rhe prestige or the United States. a policy which al- so became anti-German.
 Ut would be wrong to attribute this policy to pro-BritishiSm. During the war President Wilson pursued an American policy above all, to which Is ascribable Americas huge develop ment of armamentS. Every child knows that no one in Germany ever thought of the possibility of Ger man-American war. President Will son himself hardly seriously contem- plated a German danger, but did con template a Japanese danger. This IS also fully understood in Tokyo
 The article says that on the surface nothing is more natural than America should equip a giant army and fleet It continues;
 They are not for use, however, in this war, in which they will practi- cally not fire a shot, but for use after ward against Japan. Thus our enemies play with their own allies the game of "the bitter bit" with Japan acting in the leading part"

SMYRNA IS HARD HIT BY WAR IN
 TURKEY, REPORT

ATHENS, April l4-A refugee who has just escaped from Turkey by way of Smyrna today gave some interest ing news of the conditions now pre- valent in the Ottoman empire. He said:
 Prom an economic point of view Smyrna has been badly shaken by the war. The majority of the European merchants have shut up shop, and at the moment the articles which form the bulk of commerce are figs, raislnS, cotton and wool. These are sent to Constantinople regularly and distribu- ted from there by, special commit tee. The rumor that Germany had seized everything in Turkey was mere fiction, for Turkey does not al- low any articles necessary to the life of her population to cross her from tiers.
 "The train harvest of Auatolia has decreased this year by 60 per cent, so that the country cannot satisfy it's own needs. Still the government has seized all the cereals and paid the growers according to its own estimate.
 Imports such as coffee, tea and sugar are very scarce and extremely dear as are clothes and leather Still the pressing needs of war have aroused mems energies, and large deposits of Ignite have been discover ed in accessible places. This is being used for transport purposes and the manufacturing of gas. It is used along with wood, which is very plenti- full in Turkey.
 "Gold and silver coin have com pletely disappeared, the people hav- ing hidden in safe places all the silver they possessed. So there is only pa per money left, and this has already lost 65 per cent of its value. The peo- pie hate this paper money, and hasten to buy land, even at exaggerated prices.
 "As for the political situation, it has scarcely changed. The official re- ports of victories appear endlesSly. It is generally agreed that the Turks hate neither the English nor the French. It is said that they even respect them more than they do the Germans. But their hatred of the Russians still remains unshaken.
 "The whole country seems like one vast barracks. The government has enrolled in the army all the men it could get, young and old, and at the present stage the army is mixture

To Overcome Richness.
Tan, Freckles, Wrinkles

If your skin Is unduly reddener
freckled or tanned, dab a little pure
mercolized wax on the face and allow
1t to remain over night. When you
wash off the wax in the morning, fine
flaky. almost invisible particles OF Gu
ticle come with it. Repeating this
daily. the entire outer skin is absorbed,
but SO gradually, there's not the slight
est hurt or inconvenience. Even the
stubbornest freckles are affected. The
underlying skin which forms the new
complexion Is so fresh and youthful
looking. you'll marvel at the transfor-
nation. It's the only thing known to
actually discard An aged. faded. muddy
or blotchy complexion. One ounce Of
mercolized wax, procurable at any
drug store. Is sufficient In most cases.
II sun and wind make you squirt
and frown. you're bound to cultivate
wrinkles and crows feet. To overcome
these quickly. battle the face in a
solution made by dissolving an ounce
OF powdered saxolite in a half pint
