Huns AreAccused of
Pllagiing Up to Time
Of Armistice Signing

Paris, Nov. 25.-Oa~fhe eve of the
signing of the armistice, the Ger
mans carried out their usual cruelty
and pillage in Mezieres- Charleville
region, according to an interview
with Albert Favre, under secretary
Of Q! state for the interior in the
Temps.
The former German emperor
the former crown prince had their
headquarters in the region of Mez-
ieres for more than three years and
the district was intact until the
morning of November TO- On that
morning the Germans removed the
inhabitants and carried out a sys-
tematic robbing of homes and build
ings. In the afternoon the enemy
batteries directed heavy fire
against Mezieres and destroyed half
the town. During the bombardment
it was necessary to remove the 200
patients in the hospital there. The
bombardment stopped at 1890 a. m
on the morning of November II, a
half hour before the armistice went
into effect.
This destruction was carried OFT
without any military aim and is d
new proof of German barbarism.
General Won Arn.fl commanded
the enemy troops in the Mezieres
region.

Reliable Method Of Hair Care

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty Of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all dam
druff, excess oil and dirt, can easily
be used at trifling expense by sim
ply dissolving a teasponful of Can
throx (which you can get at any
druggist's), in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates
a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on
the glossy richness of natural color,
also a fluffiness which makes it
seem much heavier than it is. After
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is\ a pleasure.-Adv. !.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts Before
breakfast if your Back hurts
or Bladder is troubling
you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become over-worked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
Of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast and
in few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid OF grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
ing serious kidney complications

.L|ERKNECH7 IS
SEEKING SPREAD
OF RED revolt
Radical Leader is Accused of
Effort to ImpIant Doctrines
OF BoIshevism Among
German Soldiers.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-(By Associated
Press. DIR. Karl Liebknecht, the
radical socialist leader, is devoting
himself primarily to all effort to in
fiuence the men returning from the
front. His henchmen comprise
small army>of red soldiers, who are
accused of packing various meetings
sufficiently to secure the majority
necessary to push through measures
calculated to embarrass the present
government. y
DR.. Liebknecht's agitation is the
official propaganda of the Spartacus
group of extreme radicals. He chief
ly directs his attacks at the pro-
posed national assembly. The indi-
cations, however, are that his eff
fort to win over the returning SOL
diers has failed absolutely and yes
terday's meeting was marked by the
violent opposition of soldiers.
The radical leaders principal ap-
peal is to the'proletariat. Rosa Lux
embourg is ably seconding DR..
'Liebknecht Her oratory is of the
loquacious and fre-eating brand.
The Spartacus group meetings are
invariably attended by numerous
women.
Philip Scheidemaitn, in Vorwaerts,
declares that the insecurity Of the
government may be deduced from
the undisturbed activity of the Spar
tscus faction, "who in their press,
their pamphlets and their meeting,
are endeavoring to win over the SOL
diers for bolshevism."
Charge Big Robbery.
An attempted robbery recently of
100000 marks belonging to the
treasury of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen's army is charged against
members of the Spartacus faction.
When the car containing the funds
reached the railway station here a
few days ago 1t was taken over by
a detachmeutfof red badged soldiers
claiming to represent the Berlin
soldiers and workmens' govern
ment. The deceit was discovered
and Notwithstanding apologies to
the effect that a misunderstanding
was responsible for the attempted
seizure, the red guards were ar
rested and informed at police head
quarters. Won Mackensen's army
is on its way through Austria for
Germany.

Eager purchasers after obtaining
their suit or overcoat selected
their turkey and many of them
departed with two or more hand

other shipment Of big fat turkeys

Wednesday night
Palace quality suits and over
coats at $4,000 are without
question the acme of perfection

been the talk of Omaha this fall.
The unusual quality and excel

suits or overcoats and a turkey
free at the same time the Oma-

PERSHINC PUTS
army IN FRANCE
ON PEACE BASIS
Commander in Chief Faced by
Task of Checking Flow of
Vast Stock of
Supplies.

Paris, Nov. 25.-General Pershing
issued orders after the signing of
the armistice with Germany for the
prompt reduction of the extensive
system for purchasing supplies for
the United States army in Europe
and for speedy transition to peace
basis. Acting on this order, military
authorities have given notice of cam
collation. of contracts so far as posi-
bic with a view to diminishing rapid
ly the inAowing stock of supplies re-
quired for an ormy of 100000 men.
An officer who has had much to do
with this branch of the service sums
up the situation as follows:
Was at Top Speed.
"The American expeditionary
force on November II was travel
ing at full speed ahead and was at
the height of its supply activity. To
reverse this tremendous business
machine is the-task upon which it
is now engaged and the efficiency
of its business organization is be-
ing manifested in its quick accom-
mediation to entirely changed Cir
cumstances.
-"When the American forces first
began coming to France there was
great scarcity of ocean tonnage.
1t was impossible for many months
to ship more than 100000 or 100000
tons of supplies to the forces, not
withstanding the great necessity for
and general construc-
ton equipment. Search for -uater-
ial in Europe, therefore, had to be
conducted with the greatest possible
energy over a wide field.
Has Agencies Everywhere.
"The American army established
agencies in all allied and neutral
countries under a general purchas-
ing agent.
terial for the expeditionary forces
was secured on this side of the
ocean. To have transported this
material from America would have
taken 800 ships of 5000 tons ca
pacity about 480 days, or l6 months.
Apart from food supplies the
army has secured the bulk of its ma.
terial from Europe. Notwithstand-
ing the great emergency under
which it was operated, the American
army endeavored to subject~itself
to all the checks and balances of
normal business organization which
were possible under the circum-
stances"
