mo Their WAR MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT WILSON
FRMANY AND AUSTRIA MUST HAVE b ACE

Milk is impossible to pro-
cure, even for the babies. It
is the same with butter and all
fats. The rich still live well,
securing their wants by brib-
cry and stupendous prices or
by sending their families to
neutral countries.
But the masses are suffering
horribly, despite plenty of work
and high wages. Even when
they manage to fill their stom-
achs the food is so poor they
fail to nourish. The constitu-
ton is so weakened the slight
est malady takes them off in a
jiffy.
A crime wave is sweeping
the country. People are robbed
ON the streets in broad day
light. Discomfort is rife. In
the meantime, two parties are
struggling for mastery. One is
the small, powerful plutocratic
war party which, clearly see-
ing disaster ahead, is attempt
ing to browbeat the masses to
a point where they will sup
port unprecedented losses in a
terrific attempt TO drive
through the Franco British
lines.
The other i s the peoples
party, unorganized, but to
which ninety per cent of the
population belong.
They oppose another big Of
fensive and call for concilia-
tion and peace claiming even
the capture of Paris and Ca
lais, were this possible, would
not end the war, but would, on
the contrary, prolong it.
Doctor Dernberg, among
others, is Of this view.
The war party says peace
can only be secured by fight
ing. They promise early peace
if the people will follow them.
Thus the offensive being
prepared by H1ndenburg and
Ludendorff is positively Ger
many's last card. And only on
the promise that it will bring
Immediate peace do the people
agree that it be played.
The French of Verdun and
the British of Ypres hold the
trump card.
Behind them America has a
fresh hand.
I repeat the centrals must
have peace soon, one way or
another, or the masses will
force the governments hand.
It's up to France, Great
Britain and the United States.

German Comment on TuscanIa.
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 11.-In their
comment on the sinking of the Tus-
cania the Berlin newspapers Ger
mania and Oeutsche Tages Zeitung
affect surprise that the big transport
only carried approximately 2,4O0 men.
Thus, as according to reports" six
teen transports have arrived In
France. they calculate that only about
10000 American troops now are there.
This, they assert, agrees with inde-

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL
A shot at the heart of German
deceit-the 'olive branch y to
Austria.
This is President Wilson s
answer today to the war aims
speeches of Count Hertling and
Count Czernin, the German
and Austrian chancellors.
America is mobilizing her
strength to fight to the end
that her aims in the war may
be accomplished d-but at the
same time peace may be had
with the unmasking Of Ger
man autocracy and advances
toward a settlement that is
right, the president declares.

The Presidents Speech.

The Presidents speech.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. The
presidents speech follows:
| Gentlemen of the congress: On
the eighth Of January ! had the honor
Of addressing you on the objects of
the war as our people conceive them
The prime minister of Great Brit
ain had spoken in similar terms on
the fifth of January To these ad-
dresses the German chancellor re-
piled on the twenty-fourth and Count
Czernin for Austria on the same day.
1t is gratifying to have our desire
so promptly realized that all ex-
changes Of views on this great matter
should be made in the hearing of all
the world.
Count Czernin's reply, which is di-
rected chiefly to my own address on
the eighth of January, is uttered in
very friendly tone. He finds in my
statement sufficiently encouraging
approach to the views of his own
government to Justify him in believ-
ing that it furnishes basis for a
more detailed discussion of purposes
by the two governments.
He is represented to have intimated
that the views he was expressing had
been communicated to me before
hand and that I was aware Of them at
the time he was uttering them; but
in this ! am sure he was misunder-
stood / had received no intimation
of what he intended to say. There
was, of course, no reason why he
should communicate privately with
me- ! am quite content to be one of
his public audience.
Count Won Hertling's reply is, |

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw 1t through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots

good.
ITS always so foolish to run down
and get out of order. 1t takes such a
long time to get fixed again."
"One would think" said the living

or trained nurse or something like
that, instead of being a hall clock"
"Why?" asked the hall clock.
"Well, all that chatter about getting
run down and out of order" said the

"Oh, yes" said the living-room
clock, you must tell me. We don't
want to end off talking about some
thing different from what we started
