Dicky had insisted upon my taking

A glimmer of light came through my
almost closed door from the living
room. l could hear the rustic of a
newspaper, and knew that it must be
night, and that my husband was keep.

Dicky must know them all before

but I wanted to take firm grip upon
my courage before l began.
ooh, Dicky," l said at last.
The words were family uttered. but
Dicky heard them, and the next instant
my room door flew open and my hus-
band hurried to my side.
How are you feeling sweetheart"
he asked anxiously Headache all

irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN.
Piles, rashes, blackheads, in most cases

large bottle, $1.O0. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins

 On the 20th of November 1916, instead of abolshing the onerous tax on Bel gium, Won Bissing decided that, owing to the duration of the war, the increase in prices-high cost of nving-he would have to increase the monthly payments to 50,0o000o francs. He added ominously, temporarily"

Smelling of Rheims Cathedral

Some additional light is shed on the German destruction of the magnificent edifice that has been described as
 frozen music in an interview thai Cardinal Lucon. archbishop of Rheims,
 granted the editor of Everybodys. NIT. Howard Wheeler. "As you know" the archbishop told Mir Wheeler, the Ger

 had been using the towers Of the c'l-

 that guns had been concealed there. The fact is that the French leaders, fearing that harm would come to the cathedral, refrained at all times from using 1t for any military purposes whatever. When the bombardments were commenced, I immediately wrote letter to the pope. in which l sol emnly swore, on my honor as man, and as prelate of the chnrch that

Paris, August S1.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Germany has e&- acted war contributions from Belgium during the first four years of the war amounting to a total of s466, 100000. This is in addition to the vast amount of ma chinery, materials and men taken from Belgium to sustain Germany.
 In this fifth year of war 1t is inter- esting to review the financial activities of the Germans in Belgium since that fatefuI day in Belgium's history, August 20. 1914, when the German hordes en- tered Brussels.
 During that month, as the German armies were hacking their way through the little kingdom, numerous towns and cities were fined and war contributions were levied from each province as the Germans progressed southwestward.
 The first move of the German staff when entering town was to proceed to

What the General Stall Really Is

What the General Stall Really Is From The American General Staff" by
 Maj Gen. William II. Carter, in Scrib-
 ner's.
 A vast accumulation of evidence as to our neglect of the commonest military principles in past wars led to a general demand for reform at the close of the war with Spain. It had become evident that there was grave need in our mili- tary system of co-ordinating and super visory body to direct the activities of numerous independent bureaus engaged in creating and supplying the army but often working at cross-purposes Such co-ordlnating duties are performed in nearly all the armies of the world bv bodies of selected officers, known as the general staff. and that title was adopted for the new corps introduced in the American military system in 1903 The people generally have become familiar with the title of the new corps, but little is known of it's work or of it's long contest against inertia and self-in- terest incident to the creation of this controlling body of military experts
 During the period of 14 years inter- vening between it's creation and the declaratior of war with Germany, the upbuilding of the general staff had not progressed in accord with our needs In the face of modern war and it's attend ing consequences, all the narrow hn- itatons within which it had been at tempted to confine the employment of the general staff have beeA swept away and the entire control of the nations military establishment is now unreserv- edly committed to the chief of staff and his assistants, acting directly under the Secretary of War.
 The duties of the general staff involve consideration of every detail which con cerns the fitting of the people to win the war.

said last night in an address here urging
the return of a Democratic majority to

between the allies, to create differences
and to make one allied nation suspicious
of the good faith of its associates.
- For nine months all America has
stood for Wilson declarations in his
great speech of Jan. s. Now that the
time has come when American leader
