PREP0STEROUS STATEMENT FROM
BERLIN.

Perhaps the acme of German prepos-
terousness was reached in the giving
out by the German admiralty of state
ment denying that Hun submarine
torpedoed and sank the Canadian
hospital ship Llandoyery Castle.
Apparently no one observed SUBJ
marine. The cause may be attributed
to British mine" says Berlin.
And this despite the fact that several
survivors of the Llandovery Castle
were taken aboard the submarine and
Intercepted including among them the
captain and second officer of the
hospital ship; despite the fact that the
submarine cruised amid the wreckage,
apparently intent on Sinking without
trace" despite the fact that a converse
ton took place between the U-boat
commander and the captain of the
hospital ship!
There can be but one explanation of
such Internal and prima facie falsiica-
tion of facts: Germany has been cor
WINGED that she has gone one step too
far in brutality and ruthlessness.
Possibly the Prussian war lords are
beginning to fear the effect of such
atrocities on public opinion at home.
+ Killing doctors and nurses is a game
two can play at While 1t is extremely
unlikely that the allies reprlsals will
take this inhuman form, the German
mind can conceive of no reason why the
allies shouldn' t commit the same crimes
their own people do.
There is no weak defense of the sink
ing of the Llandovery Castle such as
Germany offered for the Lusitania
crime. There is only blind, obstinate
denial in the fact Of facts.
The Huns can make their own people
believe in their denials-they will be-
lieve anything the kaiser tells them.
That's why the Germans call them
selves "Michels"-in plain English,
BOOBS.
These "Michels" will pat themselves
on the back and say:
"There We Germans aren't so afro
cious after ALL"
But German opinion and world opin-
ion are as separate as the two poles.

American" Wants To Export All Dis
titled Spirits To Germany-W Where
II Will Help Win the War.

To the Editor of The Republican.
If the report of the Senate Agricul-
tural Committee, proposing to make
the country bone dry after January LIST,
is adopted by Congress land it is sim
cerely hoped that it will be-, the ques-
ton will naturally arise, what is to be
done with the liquor in bond? Permit
me to make suggestion, and that is
this: let Congress go a little further
and authorize the purchase of this
liquor by the Government, and then
present it to Germany, and devise some
means to get it to them as soon as DOS
sible. This plan will not only stop the
wall and cry Of the distilIers over their
alleged threatened loss, but will take
from our midst commodity that is i'm
pairing the efficiency of our Army and
Navy as we'll as our industries, and will
transfer the evil where it will do US the
most good, by impairing the efficiency
of the German forces. and thus shorten
the war. IT'S true that it would cost a
good, big sum of money TO put this plan
through, but it would be money well
spent, and would save the lives of MANY
of our brave boys, and untold misery
and suffering.

To the readers of The Republican:
DEAR FRIENDS: Never has there

Christian people have never been plac-
Ell in more trying circumstances. The
world is looking to the church. Is it
not time for US to humble ourselves and
c'y nightly unto God? Our help COM

ever you are, or whatever you may be
doing. that you will cease work for a
few moments at least, or as long as
possible, and offer prayer to the God
of battles that He will give victory to
the right and send a real and lasting
peace soon.
He heareth prayer! Why should not
his people call upon him in faith? Out
of our depths let us call upon our God
for deliverance.
Yours most sincerely.

mig mt have been worse. And, while
there is slight chance that the winter
wheat crop, now put at $1,000, 900
bushels, will greater, it is possible that
the present estimate of 1874 1000, 900
bushels of spring wheat may prove too
low. And there is plenty of ground for
pleasant reflections in the fact that.
while the United States this year will
not equal its billion bushel harvest of
1915. 1t has in prospective 891 900, 900
bushels of the essential bread grain as
against 667, 900, 900 bushels harvested
last year and only little more than
600, 900, 900 bushels gathered in 1916.
Ccrn and oats fall off in the present
estimates from last years harvests,
but rice, barley and rye show large
prospective increases. 1t is true that
the growing season has not progressed
far enough to permit of the Agriculture
Departments estimates being accept
ed as conclusive of results, but we can
with reason face the future in conf

principal grains for on own use and to
sustain the Allies n their war work.
And late preliminary estimate of the
wheat yield of Saskatchewan. based on
condition of the crop and an increase
of almost million acres sown to this
grain, is that this Canadian province
will add approximately 100, ZOO, 900
bushels to its normal production. That

TAN, RED OR FRECKLED
SKIN is EASILY SHED

X < X X X X X X X x x x X X
To free your summer-soiled skin of
ITS muddiness, freekles, blotches or tan
the best thing to do is to free yourself
OF the skin itself. This is easily accom-.
,plished by the use of ordinary mereol-
ized wax, which of course can be had
at any drug store. Use at night as you
use cold cream, washing it off in the
morning. Immediately the offending
surface skin begins TO come off in fine
powder like particles. Gradually the
entire outer scarf skin is absorbed,
without the least harm or ineonven-
ience. The second layer of skin now in
evidence presents spOtless whiteness
and sparkling beauty obtainable in no
other way. One ounce of mercoized
wax usually is sufficient to completely
renovate bad complexion.
