Trouville's Gayety

The casino was only half opened,
but each evening the lights burned
little later for what was called Chill

ular and were prolonged so late as to
attract attention. The project of the
Department of Calyados dec ded that
the fctes resembled too much the tango
which, since the war, has been danced
only clandestinely. Nearby resorts,

and put out their lights at l. O'clock.

coal that would be needed next winter
to keep tho wounded soldiers warm.
So tango has been eXiled.
There is no obvious gambling here,
but there is an extensive consumption

celebration of the final victory, has
come out of the cellar with three years

Swedish Exports
To Germany Cut

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 22.-The Swed-
ish and Russian governments have per-
fected arrangements for the export to
Sweden Of Russian oil cake. The first
shipment is to be 10000 tons. It is un-
derstood that Sweden is bound by the
agreement to suspend the export Of
cattle to Germany for six weeks.
Swedish newspapers are furnished by
a German news bureau for Scandinavia
with an exhaustive statement, showing
to what extent Sweden is indebted to
Germany for exports during the war.
Chemicals, dyestufrs, iron and salt are
mentioned as commodities the export
OF which were greatly increased.
The purpose Of the publication Of
the statement is obviously intended to
counteract the effects resulting from
the disclosure Of the Argentine dis
patches.
The Swedish electoral campaign
closed to-day with elections in Stock
holm. 1t will be several days, under
the complicated system of proportional
voting; before the results are known.
but it is already evident that the in
huence of the Argentine disclosures
will deprive the Conservatives of the

newspapers now as to the course the
government will follow. The pro-

Strife Threatens
Societies. Razaars
For War Relief
National Allied and Army
and Navy Field Comfort
League Rivals

Signs Of strife among the war re!ief
organizations bidding for the supper
Of the New York public appeared yes
terday for the first time. Three OF the
societies simultaneously announced
their plans for this winter. Two OF
them added. not for publications, plans
for nu, 81 humiliation.
Both the National Allied War Relief
Committee and the Army and Navy

bazaars az Grand Contra! Palace IN the
next two months. and IN that TACT Ies

Lat spring the national committee
representing seventy war organlzations
in this country, assembled 10 plan tne
largest single war relief entertain
mcnt which has yet been held IN
America. November 81 was set as the
opening date of the bazaar, which was
70 continue for nineteen days. The
Right Hon. Arthur James Balfour &C
ceDted an invitation 70 serve as pa
irons. and hundreds of prominent Off
cialsand society members joined the
enterprise.
Shortly after the date had been set
the Army and Navy committee an
nounced that il, too, was to hold a
bazaar from October p to November 8,
with Mayor Mitchell and Governor
Whitman acting on committees.
The Allied War Relief resented this
% an attempt 70 steal its thunder.
and steps were taken, it is said. to stop
the holding Of the rival entertainment.
Yesterday the army and navy com
mittce. through its publicity director,
John J. Reardon, answered the cha!-
lengce.
Denies Opposition
"Our books are always open TO in
spection, and we invite scrutiny" he
said. "This organization is not run

mittee Bazaar, for we are working
so ely for our boys in the United States

"Waldemar II. De Bile has been en-
gagged as executive manager at sal
arv OF $4,000. because he is an expert
in the management Of large bazaars.
This sum has been criticised as ex-
orbitant, but il must be remembered
that out of il De Billie pays a large

Russia Needs Help
Of u. S., Declares
Arthur E. Corbin
Back From Petrograd, He
Says We Must Explain
Liberty to Russians

An educational campaign TO teach the
people of Russia the truth about
America is an immediate necessity, ac-
cording to Arthur Z. Corbin, managing
director of the Russian Automotive En-
gineering Company, who reached New
York Thursday after a forty-fve-day
trip from Petrograd.
Enough cannot be said about the
importance of telling the Russians all
about America. Ambassador Francis
should be supplied with all the material
available along this line.
"There has just been formed in Rus
STA a new commission for improving the
relations between Russia and America.
NJ. Corse, one of the most prominent
Americans not holding an official posi-
ton now living in Russia, has been
made chairman. The undertaking aims
TO teach what democracy over here
really means, and whether 1t is really
free. Some of the Russians have not
vet been able to distinguish between
license and freedom"
Praises Root Mission
Elihu Root and the American COM
mission received splendid receptions
wherever they went, Mr.. Corbn said.
The commission TO study industrial
conditions now in Russia is an equally
we'll chosen group of men, he declared.
MANY of the dispatches coming from
Russia are very much exaggerated, or
only reflect momentary conditions" he
said. "The dispatches, in many cases,
represent the Petrograd news and not
the ideas of Russia. Petrograd does
not reflect Russis's economic condi-
tions to-day"
Asked about the public feeling to-
ward the war, Mr.. Corbin answered
that the people are tired, and that
many of them do not know what they
are lighting for, and some even that
their country is fighting. The Cos
sacks are for any government which
will give them peace.
Speaking OF herensky, who was made

Compromise on Definition

A compromise definition of invested
capital. said to provide a system of al
lowance for borrowed funds and also
intangible assets, including good will,
trademarks, copyrights, patents and
similar inchoate property, was ap-
proved by the conferrees to-day after
several days discussion.
With this basic dispute compromised,
the conferrees turned 70 exemptions
and graduated tax rates, developing the
demand Of House Representatives for
radical increases of the Senate rates
and a ouch greater total levy on war
profits 1t was understood that the
House members insist upon adding be-
tween S25O,OO0,O00 and S5O0,000.0O0 to
the 81 600. 900 Senate levy.
Senate conferrees were reported to
have expressed the fear that a higher
total assessment on war excess profits
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-23

would impair business. and AFTER 20,
days session they met separately ana
were said TO have agreed 10 Withstand
the House demands, even to reach, ng
final disagreement. Representative
Kitchin and other House conferrees,
however, were understood TO feel that
the House membership is supporting
them in urging greater taxation OF war
profits.
Liquor Tax Up Tomorrow
Another factor in the new deadlock
was refusal Of the Senate TO accept the
exemption basis Of per cent proposed
by the House. Reports that the CON
fcrrces had approved tentatively an 3
per cent exemption were denied OH
cially tonight. The Senate is said TO
insist upon a maximum exemption OF I'D
per cent with "A 8 per cent minim IN, as
provided in the bill.
Among the miscellaneous matters TO
be cleared up tomorrow are items or
the manufacturers sales tobacco and
liGuor sections, with probable further
negotiations on the automobile tax pro-
vision.

To Keep the Face
 Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic care of the complexion is it's physical care. To keep the face clear, fresh, youthful, there's nothing better than ordinary mercol;zed wax. It absorbs the soiled or faded worn-out skin par ticles. Cosmetics simply add un- wholesomeness to the complexion. That's the difference. By all means, acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's so easy to get an ounce of the wax at the druggists, apply at night like cold cream and wash it off next morn ing. There's no detention indoors, the old skin coming off so gradually no one suspects you're using anything When in week or two the alluring- ly youthful, roselike underskin is full ly in view-well, you won't want, or need, a makeup complexion after that. It must be apparent that this process means complete riddance of all cutaneous blemishes, like freckles, pimples, blotches and blackheads.
 For a wrinkled. loose or saggy skin, a face bath made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saXolite in half pint witch hazel surpasses massage cream and everything else for results. it's action is instantaneous, and per- fectly harmless. It improves facial contour wonderfully.-Adv.

 Little Rock had in 1916, 1888. B revenue per child enrolled Pine Bluff had $20.60. In other words Little Rock had more than four times the amount of revenue and less than two and one-half times as many children attending school. Notwth- standing this, compare the two sys- tems financially, or otherwise.
 "The school board has been criti- cized about the purchase of the ath- letic field. In my opinion the in- creased attendance at the High school of boys alone, has made this a valu- able asset to the schools.
