To the American People
1t is claimed by the Navy Department
that our estimates OF cost on battle
cruisers are too high.
The Federal Trade Com mission is
an agency competent and equipped
to decide just such question as this.
The country wants ships and they
should be built in the quickest possible
time.
We therefore repeat an offer which In our original
bid for battle cruisers made to the United
States Government,
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is
prepared to undertake the building
of the battle cruisers included in the
Governments naval program UPON
ANY BASIS WHICH THE FEDERAL
TRADE COMMISSION SHALL, after
examination of the facts, determine
to be fair.

You dampen a Eronge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

LAME EVERY MORNING
A Bad Back Is Generally Worse in the Morning.. New Britain People
 Are Finding Relief.

A back that aches all day and causes discomfort at night is usually worse in the morning. Makes you feel as if you hadn't slept at all.
 You can't get rid of kidney back ache, until you reach the cause.-the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are es- pecially prepared for weakened or dis ordered kidneys-have been grateful ly recommended by thousands.
 Testimony of New Britain people proves the merit of Doan's.
 Oliver Foulds, 374 Arch St., New Britain, says: "A cold settled on my back and kidneys, causing a dull ache across the small of my back. It seemed to catch me when I bent over. When I sat down, my back seemed to stiffen up and I had to take hold of some object to arise. Mornings my back felt lame and sore. I took two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and they entirely cured this trouble"
 Price soc. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pi1ls-the same that cured Mr. Foulds. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

HARD AND SOFT OR
 ANY KIND OF CORN
Tells how to loosen tender corn so it lifts out with
 out pain.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called :reezone, which the moment few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers.
 : It is a sticky substance which dries the moment it is applied and is said to simply shrivel the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce will cost very little at any of the drug stores. but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callous.
 You are further warn ed that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit.

SEN PULLMAN FOR
 END OF BERNSI0RFF
Would Order Him to Pack Up
 and Get Out

NaShlngtOn Feb. 1.-There was a disposition last night among members or the Foreign Relations committee to avoid public expression on the German note. The fact came out that for some time the senators who are close to the president have know, that he was troubled over the Ger
 man situation.
 Few if any of those conversant with the circumstances believed war would result, but some believed Ger many had deliberately courted war for the reason that with the United States figuring as a helligerent she would be insured fairer peace terms | and the only way in which she could hope to insure the active participa | tion of the United States in the peace negotiations was to embroil this country in the affair.
 1 With the United States once en- 1 gagged in the war. 1t was suggested. Germany could with her allies pro- l claim her inability to, fight the whole
 world and sue for. peace and ask this 1 country to eXemplify the presidents announced policy of advocating a peace without victory.
 If l were. the president I would give Am bassador Bernstorff orders to get his traps together and get out as quickly as possible for his home and his barbarians." said Senator Till man, chairman of the Naval Affairs committee.
 'The situation is very clear to me. l The president said in his address to 1 the senate that the Unitod States wished only for a peace hat would
 be without victory. C srmany has 1 reached that desperate state where
 she sees reace for Great Britain and France and the other Allies that l will carry with it a victory" Other Senators Views Senator CUmmins. Iowa: If Ger ] mary pursues the course that you
 have indicated from your quotation
 of the note we are steering directly for a conflict"
 Senator McCumber, republican
 member of the Foreign Relations
 committee: ''The president is now 1 face to face with situation that will
 compel him to make good or back
 down. He is entitled to the support 1 lations committee in this grace situa
 ton, and he will have that unsparing. ly. But it is easy to see that the
 president laid down certain conditions
 in the Lusitania crisis that have not 1 been met. Just what he will deem
 it necessary to de remains to be seen' 1 Senator Sutherland. Utah, repub

Britain Plans Rcprisals.

London, Feb. 1.-An official state ment issued here says that if the German threat of no longer tolerating hospital ships between a line drawn from Flamborough Heal, England, to Terschelling, Netherlands, and line from Lands End, England, to Ushant. France, is carried out, reprisals will be taken immediately. The announce ment follows:
 '"The German government an- nounce that they have conclusive proof that in several instances enemy hospital ships often have been mis- used for the transport of munitions and troops. They also state that they have placed these proofs, through diplomatic channels, before the British and French governments, and have, at the same time, declared that the traffic of hospital ships on mili- tary routes for the forces fighting in France and Belgium within lines drawn between Flamborough Head and Terschelling on one hand, and from Ushant to Lands End on the other, will no longer be tolerated.
 Under the convention, the belliger- ents have the right to search hospital ships and the German government have therefore an obvious remedy In case of suspicion-a remedy when they never have utilized.
 From the German governments s statement that hospital ships will be no longer tolerated within the limits mentioned only one conclusion can be drawn; viz, that it is the intention Of the German government to add yet ; other and more unspeakable crimes ] against the law of humanity to the long list which disgra ces their record. In these circumstances the British government has requested the United States government to inform the Ger man government that His Majesty s government has decided that if the threat is carried out reprisals will inn mediately be taken by the British au- thorities concerned
 ! "The British government has re- [ ceived no such cOmmunlcatlOn on through diplomatic channels or other wise, from the German government as alleged, and they must emphatlcally deny that British hospital ships have been used for the transport of mu- nitions and troops or in any way con- trary to The Hague convention for the adaptation of the principles or the Geneva convention to maritime war.

state briefly the bald facts regarding
the beginning of this great conflict.
Il do not think any one can hon
estly believe, England began the war.
For at least q year before the
war. Germany had definitely made
up her mind TO fight.
Ambassador Gerard has told us
that the German crown prince made
no secret OF his desire for war and
that he even expressed the hope that
IL would come before his father died,
aud he added that II II did come be-
fore his father died IL would come as
soon as he (the crown prince as
cended the throne.
There is no question but that
Germany made up her mind that
somewhere about the summer 1914
would be the best time for war.
THE extreme war party In Ger
many actually desired our entrance
as II gave them opportunity 10 kill
two birds with one stone.
This was the situation In Ger
many when the Sarajevo murders
came and gave the war party its
eagerly awaited opportunity.
T You are familiar with the efforts
Of the English foreign secretary. Sir
Edward Grey made to have the
teuton demand submitted to arbitra-
ton or conservation. The teuton
brushed all efforts aside.
Meanwhile Russia could not stand
idly while Serbia was being crushed.
France entered next. Then came our
demand on Germany in our respect
to the neutrality OF Belgium an UNI
dertaking which France already had
cheeTfllly given. Such an undertake
