For Small Noses

Fashion, of course, is making
much Of the hat tilted high in back
and bound tightly over the forehead.
This needs high style of hAir-dress-
ing, to hold the hat in place. The
other popular style at the moment is
the curved-down briIn, shorter in
back than front, and the large soft
crown. This type, too, needs hair
dressed high on the head to hold the
hat in place.
On the whole, the new hair-dress-
ing is much more becoming than the
old. That coiled the hair at the nape
Of the neck, sometimes with the
whole knot resting against the neck.
It was supposed to show the curve
of the head, but as a matter of fact.
1t gave certain fiat look to the back
part Of the head that was rather un-
becoming. Besides. the knot slid
against the neck with every motion
Of the head, and 1t soiled collars and
caught on fasteners.
Hair waved is apt to soften an
otherwise harsh face. This does not
mean curled with a small iron, or
crimped up on hair-pins. Strands OF
hair wet and rolled on kids or on
strips of muslin look softest when
unrolled and combed out. ~

WORLD FACES COTTON
famine, SAYS SOLON
Senator E. D. Smith Makes Reply
to Senator Lodge.

THE world faces a cotton famine.
There is not enough for America
alone"
Senator Z. d. Smith, OF South
Carolina. the cotton expert of the
Senate made this statement yester-
day afternoon on the floor. lie was
replying to recent statement in the
record by Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusctts. that far too much cotton
was finding its way to Germany by
way OF the neutrals, and was being
made into German shells with which
to kill American soldiers. The state
mcnt came to Senator Lodge from
cotton goods manufacturers and the
Massachusetts man had it put in the
record.
'"The figures in the record were en-
tirely wrong and misleading" said
the South Carulinian. They came
from a suspicious source. They
emanatcd from the great cotton min
centers of New England. Cotton is
high in price. II an embargo is PUT
upon its export. the price will drop to
American manufacturers.
The Senator declared that despite
the fact that cotton was now selling
for . and = cents double any price
since 1863, cotton mills were making
larger dividends than ever known.
He said he had heard that some
Southern mills had made 10 per cent.

executed successful raids on a wide
front. 1t is on this line that the Ger
mans stopped in their strategic re-
treat early this year. The British
have had nearly six months to bring
up their heavy guns and establish
lines Of communication. There is a
strong possibility that Haig will
strike on this front which, roughly. is
the center of the Hindenburg line.
British fiiers did effective work in
raiding important points behind the
German lines, notably Middlekerke
and Brugeoise.

London, Aug. 2l.- Strong hopes are
entertained by the allies that the de-

now under way in Flanders, at Yer
dun and on the Carso, will shortly re-
lieve the hard-pressed Russo-Ruman-

hold up Mackensen's advance Thus
far the Teutons still have the best of
the situation on the Rumanian
theater.

NET CLOSING
AROUND negro
Baltimore Police Convinced
He Murdered Mrs.
Brandon.

With their case closed against John
Snowden. negro suspected of the MUIR
der of Lottie May Brandon at Annap-
oils two weeks ago today, Detectives
Pohler. Kratz and Dougherty, of the
Baltimore central office. yesterday
ceased collecting evidence in the MUIR
der mystery.
Each expressed himself as satisfied
that the signed statements of the ac-
cused man, together with the state
ments made by others connected in
some way or another with the crime,
will be sufficient to cause the cor
oner's jury to hold the colOred man
for the action of the grand jury.
A rigid siX-hOur Cross-eXamination
of Mr.. and Mrs. King. neXt-door
neiGhbors of the Brandons. coupled
with the confronting of the couple
with photographs of the marks on the
dead woman's body, finished the mai jor
work of the Baltimore police in Ann
apolis.
After the examination, Mr. and Mrs.
King were told that they might leave
the town whenever they wish. as what
evidence they are able to give will not
be of any use whatever in the inquest
or at a possible trial.
The Coroners inquest will be recon-
vened. it is said. when all the evidence
collected in the last fourteen days Is
typewritten and tabulated by the Of
flee force of the district attorney.
1t is thought that the latter part
of this week will see Snowden con-
fronted by the evidence. before the
jury. Opinion is equally divided as
to whether the police case against
the suspect is convincing enough to
hold the man for the grand jury
and subsequent trial. 1t is believed
by many that the grand jury will
be unable to return a true bill in
the case.
Through with Annapolis. where
all the hopes OF his young life were
shattered at one stroke, Valentine
Brandon. husband of the slain
plcted plans. in company with his
father. Leroy Brandon. to sell the
few furnishings collected by the
young couple and leave the town
for good.
Friends say that Brandon con-
templates enlistinE as the surest
way in which he can forget, in a
measure. the tragedy which wreck
ed his life.
Detectives Kratz, POhler and
Doughtery returned to Baltimore
last night and will await the call of
District Attorney Green before they
return to the Naval Academy town.

AWAIT PEACE ANSWER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


note and entente diplomats permitted
| themselves to make unofficial COM
ment. This is taken to mean that de-
vclopments will follow quickly.
| Secretary Lansing admitted that no
reply had yet been made even in the
most formal manner to the Popes
note. The usual Cabinet meeting was
| dispensed with yesterday while the
| President was wrestling with the coal
situation. It is generally believed that
the peace note will be the next task
he takes up. Mr.. Lansings air of
quiet assurance when asked about
the note Yesterday was taken to in
dictate that the course OF the United
States has already been mapped out
The reason that the United States
will make her answer alone has been
assigned to the fact that her aims in
this war are matters Of simple, alb
stract. justice. The aims of all the
other allies are complicated with mat
ters of territory and continental poll
tics.
For this reason it is not likely that
the European allies will make their
own notes Identical Each will set
up the claims which she considers nee
cssary TO assuage the wrongs done her
by Germany.
The statements attributed to the
Russian Ambassador, Georges Bakh-
metief. that Russia is against peace
aroused much interest. The Ambas-
sador. himself. has gone to Boston.
But there was a notable unwillingness
on the part of the attaches of the en-
! bassy to admit that the statement of
last night unqualifiedly committed
Russia against the POpe's proposals.
In other diplomatic quarters it was
/ intimated that the statement was is
sued largely on the Ambas ador's own
responsibility. by way of assuring
her allies that Russia would not fall
head over heels for the first peace
proposition offered.
The embassy yesterday refused
either to deny or affirm the statement
of Mr.. Bakhmetieff as to the attitude
of Russia.
The embassies of Great Britain and
France would yesterday make no
statement with regard to the posi-
tions of their respective governments
in advance of official instructions
from home.
The British attitude. it was pointed
out. however. is already pretty well
known through the statements Of
Lloyd George, the reflections of the
press and the resumption of activity
in Flanders. The summary of it all
is conceded to be unfavorable to
peace at this time
In the same way inquirers at the
French Embassy was referred to dis
patches from abroad. The French, it
was admitted are against peace. They
consider France more seriously in
jured than any other country-not ex-
cluding Belgium. France wants to. be
freed for all time from the menace
Of the Prussian war machine which
has doomed over her since 1870.

ceeding fiscal year IL the war keeps
on. 1t is not improbable that the
entire income of all the people OF
the country estimated at $3S,0O0.-
0Oo. 900 will not equal the money
cost OF the second year of the war.
I'VE must face these facts and
lay the firm foundation of our
financial policy by an adequate and
Just system of taxation. A mistake
now may be fatal. 1t will GER
tainly cost us untold millions of
dollars and thousands upon thous-
ands OF lives by unnecessarily pro-
longing the war.
wealth Not Patriotic.
wealth has never yet sacrificed
itself on the altar OF patriotism in
any war On the contrary it has
ever shown itself eager to take ad-
vantage of the misfortunes which
war always brings to the masses
of the people.
1T may be argued that the poor
have an equal right to buy bonds.
This is small comfort when you
have little or no money to invest.
The late liberty loan was an eX-
ample. Every device OF govern
ment machinery was set in motion
to sell these to the small investor.
We do not know how this cam
paign succeeded. But we know the
bonds were a poor investment to
the man of small means in COM
parison with the advantages which
millionaires secured by investing
large parts of their taxable incomes
in these non-taxable securities.
This war has already laid a tax Of
50 to 100 per cent in the higher cost
OF war prices for all life's necessaries.
His whole manner Of living is
disorganized. his production decreased
and the government in consequence
becomes the loser. Here Is where the
real burden Of war rests. Here is
where the individual is called on for
real sacrifice. The government. not
for philanthropic reasons. but to keep
unimpaired its strength. must see that
the burden is made as light as pos
sible."
within thirty days from the dec
Iaration of war" he said. I'VE had
plunged into bond issues on an un-
heard-of scale. 1t will be nothing
short OF the economic crime of the
ages to permit our financial plans TO
go one hairs breadth further along
lines which violate the principle OF
sound government finance. With an
other $1,000. 600. 900 bond sale about TO
be launched. it is time to halt long
enough in our headlong plunge TO bal
ance the bond issues already put out.
Our war fnanciering is being so
managed as to commit the country to
a bonded debt five times larger than
the taxation. The civil war debts
reached 800. 10000 to s.. 80, 10000. We
still have 81 .OO0. 100000 worth OF that
debt on our hands when We entered
this war. Yet that civil war debt was
so small It might he lost in the daily
war bills we now consider"
