Within ten minutes after an applica-
tion of Danderine you can not find
q single trace of dandruff or falling
hair, and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be after
a 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-
bes the beauty of your hair. No diff

scraggy. just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amaZing-your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance; an

Get a small bottle Of knowltons
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 treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine.

David Lloyd George Scorns Peace
at Expense of Russia.
British Premier Says Colonies viii
Have Voice in Determining
Final Settlement.

London, July 16 - Premier David
Lloyd George answered Germany's re.
Gently renewed peace offensive with
the declaration that the war must not
end with one square yard added to
Germany's territory.
"The god of brute force must this
time forever be broken and burnt in
its own furnace" the premier declared.
This was taken as Englands reply
to recent efforts of German statesmen
by which the war would be ended with
concessions to the Western Allies, pro-
vided Germany was left free to ex-
ploit her conquest in Russia.
There must no hugger-mugger
peace" Mr.. Lloyd George said 1T
must be a real peace. We are not
waging war for the sake of killing or
being killed, but for the sake of es-
tablishing just and durable peace for
the world. You cannot make peace un-
less it is both just and likely to en-.
dure"

Lord Robert Cecil Discusses
Worlds Trade Problems
After Present War.
NATIONS FORM PACT
Twenty-Four Governments Join an
Economic Association-Germany
Must Abandon Military Ambi-
tions to Secure Admission.

London, July 16.-Ldrd Robert Cecil,
under secretary of state for foreign
affairs and minister bf blockades, In
a comprehensive statement regarding
the worlds trade after the war de-
clared that an economic association of
"a nations, comprising the Allies, al
ready is in existence.
Whether Germany eventually shall
be admitted to this economic associa-
ton, declares the British minister,
will be determined by the test estab-
lished by President VI ilson, when the
President said on Dec. 4 that If the
German people should still, after the
war was over, continue to be obliged
to live under ambitious and intriguing
masters interested to disturb the peace
of the world" it might be impossible
to admit them to the partnership OF
the nations, or to free economic. inter-
course
Lord Robert described this state
ment by the President as a definition
of the qualifications for membership
in the association oil nations. and
added:
ITO these declarations we give our
warmest assent"
Germany One Obstacle.
Germany is the one obstacle to this
economic association of nations" said
Lord Robert. The Germany described
by President Wilson--a Germany Iiv-
ing under ambitious and intriguing
masters.
"Germany's economic policy toward
all the groupings of peoples from the
Arctic ocean to the Black sea-" he
continued, lis absolutely contrary to
our principles. Economic independ-
ence and free choice are the last
things which Germany will ever allow
to the peoples within her reach.
so long as this is the policy of
Germany, how can we admit her to
membership in the free association of
nations to which we already belong?"
asked Lord Robert. Before we can
offer her any participh alton in our re-
sources we must release her victims
from the economic sla very that she Is
imposing upon them.
Wilson States Principles.
With regard to the economic princi-
pies of this association of nations,
Lord Robert said President Wilson
had on Jan. s stated them in memoir
able words when he advocated the
removal, so far as possible, of all eco
nomic barriers and the establishment
of an equality of trade among the
nations consenting to peace and asso-
ciating themselves for its mainten-
ance."

Fifth German Offensive Opens
When Front of Sixty-five
Miles Is ASsaiIed.
HEAVY DRIVE ON YANKS
Big Battle Extends From Chateau
Thierry to Champagne, With
Bitter Assaults on Positions
Occupied by Americans.

london, July 16.-After a wait of
30 days since they were halted in their
plunge toward Compiegne, along the
west bank of the Disc, the Germans
have launched a new phase of their
mighty offensive by attacking from
Chateau Thierry to Maison de Cham
payne, north of Massiges and far east
of Rheims, over a front about 65 miles
in length.
Latest reports from the battlefield
state that the Germans have crossed
the Marne at several places. This
probably refers to the reaches of the
Marne between Chateau Thierry and
Dormans.
American troops are engaged in the
battle in this particular region and
reports say they are handling the
enemy we'll" They broke up the Ger
man drive in the Vaux region, west
of Chateau Thierry, by dashing coun.
terattacks.
Reports show that, so far as the
length of the line is concerned, the
present drive is the greatest of the
year At first, it was believed from
the French war office statement that
the line was about so miles in extent,
but apparently the report from Paris
told simply of the length of the French
portion of lines under attack. The at.
tack against the Cambrai front March
21 was over a front of 55 miles.
Terrific Gunfire Loosed.
A terrible artillery fire was loosed
against the Allied lines from Chateau
Thierry on the west to Maison de
Champagne, north of Massiges, on the
east
For hours the Allied lines were un.
der a tempest of the most tremendous
character. Not only was the actual
battle area under bombardment, but
towns and cities far behind the lines
were made targets for great 10 and IL
inch projectiles fired from what ap-
pears to be naval siege guns brought
up behind the German positions.
New Territory Chosen.
The Germans chose a sector, which
except for a surprise attack around
Rheims, late in June, has been quiet
since the offensive launched on the
Aisne on May 27 came to a standstill
East of Rheims and north of Chalons
there has been but little fighting OF
significance for long time.
The Germans hold the north bank
OF the Marne for a distance of about
30 miles east Of Chateau Thierry
Their line leaves the Marine near the
village of Dormans and runs off to the
northeast of Rheims, where 1t turns
abruptly to the southeast and runs
down the valley of the Vesle river tC
the village of La Pompelle, where II
runs eastward and runs in a relative
ly straight line to Verdun. Maison de
Champagne, the eastern limit of the
present battle, Is 81 miles west ol
