All of the vegetable colors are obtained
by extracting the natural coloring matter
from some portion OF a given plant. The
wood of a number Of tropical trees has
been largely used for this purpose While
1t would seem that vegetable colors would
be more wholesome than coal tar dyes
this is not always true, for some of the
most violent poisons are obtained from
vegetables. The only color we can feel
sure of is that color which comes from
some wholesome vegetable
Most of the vegetable colors do not have
the same brlliancy and high-tinting power
as anilinc dyes. In order to make vegeta-
bic dyes hold their color, other things have
been used with the dyes, such as sulphuric
acid. BY introducing foreign matter into
vegetable dyes, there is always the liability
of the dye containing mineral poisons. On
the other hand, aniline dye which contains
mineral matter, such as arsenic, tin, ETC.,
have great brlliancy. If the metallic com

GERMANY SEEKING
PEACE WITH BALKANS

Washington, Oct. 17.-Germany is
working for a separate peace in the
Balkans.
Having failed to gain such a peace
in Russia she is now centering her
efforts on Rumania and Serbia, ac-
cording to diplomatic advices today.
The prospect for winning over these
states, however is regarded as Slim.
Balkan diplomats have been aware
for months of Germany's plans to get
Russia out of the combat and then to
force the small Balkan allies to terms
or eXterminate them. But as Bulgaria
is insisting on retaining DObrudja and
Macedonia-ac ccording to her pre- war
pact-there is little chance now that
Rumania at least will swerve
The kaiser's visit to Sofia was un-
derstood to bear on this general prob
lem. 1t is felt here among Balkan
diplomats that the extension of his
visit to Turkey is related to the Balkan
peace situation.

HINDENB BURG THERE?

London Oct. 17.-Report that
Field Marshal Hindenburg had
personally landed on the island of
Oesel to direct German operations
against Russia, coupled with Pc
trograd official statements indicat-
ing increa sing success of that cam
pagn, created the widest interest
here this afternoon.
Berlin's claims were that the
whole island of Oesel had been
occupied but it was added that
small portion of the enemy in
the Sworbe peninsula was still
opposing the complete subjuga-
tion. The official statement also
announced a naval engagement
with Russian destroyers and gun
boats. which resulted favorably
to the German forces"
Petrograd related the injury to
