KAISER BE DAMNED"
 AT THE AUDITORIUM

"To hell with the kaiser and his baby killers" are the words spoken by William Richmond in the third act of The Kaiser Be Damned. now playing at the Auditorium theatre, which brought forth storm of applause that rocked the theatre. The play is three act drama dealing with the workings of the German spy system and is an appeal to patriotic citizens to watch for German propaganda which is spread by the paid agents of the beast of the withered arm and mind the kaiser.
 The story of the Kaiser Be Damned Sa. new play by Sidney Toler deals with Fritz Richman who in reality is Fritz Reichman and his son, Will jam. Fritz is in the secret employ of the German government and has h<Hn using his son, William. to forward wireless messages in code to a Ger man submarine about to raid the American coast and outra ging trans ports. William whose mother was an American, through the influence of Marjorie. finally asserts himself, and | refuses to do his fathers bidding further Marjorie is an agent of the departrneNt of Justice of the U. S l government. Probably no more thrill ing scene has ever been enacted than | that which tnarspires between Fritz and William when the latter absolute ly refuses to warn the incoming Ger
 man submarine that she is coing in-
 to trap From this point on events 1 happen quickly, until the trependous finale where Fritz learns that his i owE daughter was or board one of the l ships mined.
 The cast of the production Is excel | lent and the acting of eaell is above criticism. The play is a live patriotic 1 drama and is a big boost for the Red 1 Cross, Liberty loans and other war 1 time work

PROPOSITION GERMANY
 SUBMITTED TO BELGIUM

London, Sept. 19.-(By The A. p The Belgian foreign minister, in dis cussing Germany's peach approach" to Belgium, declares that the condi- tons cannot be taken as a basis fo! any serious discussion. From the de- tails furnished by the foreign minis ter it appears that Belgium received TO formal proposition directly from the German government. but that communications came by an indirect channel.
 These showed that it was Germany's intention to demand that Belgium bind herself to effect solution of the language question in conformity with the German imperial policy, which Belgium would regard as all abdication of the right inherent in her sovereignty to solve internal prob lens in accordance with the freely eX- pressed will of the Belgian people. Germany also would claim full am nesty for Belgian citizens guilty of helping the enemy plans, and thereby. according to the minister, would i'm 1 pose on the Belgian government an | act of submission.
 i Germany would insist on the main tenance after the war of the comvler- cial treaties previously in fierce This following up the destruction of Bel sian industry by the invader, says the
 minister would insure Germany's eco- homie grip on the country. Moreover
 he adds, the pawn theory is not aban- Goned Germany would insist upon
 binding the fate of Belgium with the solution of the colonial question. Finally, the obligation resting CT i Germany to repair the damage unjust ty inflicted on it's victim was not even alluded to. Germany, the minister points out. thus would be enriched hs
 the pi'laga of Belgium. whocc ruiT
 would be complete.
 These indirect approaches made nt Preference to the eventual suspension Of hostilities between Belgium Gnt Germany, nor to the evacuation O hBelgian territory.
 [ The foreign minister / concludes
 "The conditions thus set forth over.
 shadow and render sterile all declara.
 tions which appear to recognize the
 independence of Belgium. They can not be taken as a basis for any seri- GUS discussion. The Belgian govern
 ment formulated it's programme in it
 rote to the pope on December "A las

Careless Use of Soap ySr@e SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking is best Most soaps and prepared shampocs contain too much allxah. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t
 The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary muisified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless1, and Is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoenfuis will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in.
