K VA most treasured of these invests
the great editors of the nations
newspapers with an attitude of calm and
studious dignity 1t is picture Americans
love to cherish of such men as Greeley,
Dana and Watterson, seated in their IL
braries in the circle Of the evening lamp
and surrounded by the accumulated wisdom
of the worlds sages, giving thought to the
preparation of o-morrow's editorial on the
great question of the hour.
That's all very archaic, really. Such
practices may have been au fat at one
time, but that before Hearst revo-
lutionized the newspaper world and en-
poyed Mr. Arthur Brisbane as editor. Mr..
Brisbane is the highest priced editor in
the world" but that is fact both Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Brisbane have modestly
sought to conceal from the public and have
so far succeeded that they do not find it
necessary to mention it more than once or
twice month. Indeed, so reticent is Mr.
Brisbane on the subject that he only al
luded to it casually in the course of his
testimony before the Senate committee
which is conducting a postwar inquiry into
German propaganda in the United States,
to say nothing of Senatorial curiosity
regarding the sub-rosa loan from the
brewers by which Mr. Brisbane was enabled
to buy "The Washington Times"
But we were speaking of the modern
editor. 1t might as we'll be admitted that
our thoughts on the subject were inspired
by Mr.. Brisbane, or rather by what Mr.
Brisbane told the Senatorial committee of
why he is "the highest priced editor in the
world"
To tell the truth, the glimpse Mr. Bris-
bane gives US into his $4,000 week brain
is rather bewidering to ordinary mortals.
There is a confusing picture of, to make
use of an Irish bull. Mr. Brisbane debating
editorials to q stenographer with one hand
and to photograph with the other When
MI Brisbane rides on a train he does not
waste golden moments on the fleeing seen
cry; instead he dictates editorials either
to secretary or to one of Mr. Edison's
machines.
1t is interesting and instructive to note
that when Mr.. Brisbane has thought the
thoughts that are to be read by the mil
lions" who are his audience and has die
tated them to one of his human or hu-
manly contrived machines they are gone
from him forever. A stenographer tran
scribes them, but Mr.. Brisbane rarely re-
vises or reads them before they are printed.
This phase of Mr. Brsbane's activities
came out when the Senatorial committee
characterized as unfortunate" sentence
in one of the Brisbane editorials that 1--WE
can afford to spend more for international
murder than for national organization"
Explaining this sentence, Mr. Brisbane said:

on the treatment Of prisoners of
war by the Germans. The report deals with
the men captured in the great German Of
fensive which began March 21 and was COM
piled before the signing of the armistice. In
reading the report the feeling of indignation
against the Germans who perpetIated such
brutalities is almost submerged IN the relief
that is felt that such prison camps as are
described are thing of the past.

their way back to the Allied lines 1t is
even sought to find an excuse for the hard
ships inflicted on the prisoners the first two
days after their capture, on the ground that
the Germans may have been surprised by
the large number of prisoners taken and
been unprepared to care for them. This
excuse could not hold good after two
three days, however, and the committee is
forced to the conclusion that the only differ

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkall, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing TO use is just plain
mulsfied cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaselcss. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub il in. about a tcaspooniul is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinscs out easily, The hair
dries quickly and evenly and is soft
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wayy, and
easy to handle Besides, it loosens and

London, Nov. 2.-Further important gains were made by the British troops east of Valenciennes, Field Marshal Haig reports from headquar- ters. The village of Marly was cap- tured and British attachments enter ed St. Saulve.
 The statement says:
 Determined local fighting contin- ued throughout the day on the battle front south and east of Valenciennes. We made good progress northeast of Maresches and east and north of Preseau, capturing the hamlet of St. Hubert and the farms in that vicinity
 "East of Valenciennes we hold the village of Marly and our advanced de- tachments have entered St. Saulve. In this operation we captured two tanks which had been used by the enemy in successful counter attacks yesterday, and took several hundred prisoners.
 "A successful minor operation took place this morning west of Landre- cies: we advanced our line and took a number of prisoners"

Washington, Nov. 2.-Draft calls for the mobilization of 29O773 addi- tional men at admy training camps before November 23> were announced tonight by Provost Marshal General CroWder Between November II and 15, it was announced 253.335 white men physically quilified for general service, ill entrain, making the larg- est single call issued under the select i've service act. tai. so far as announced, will be made up of Negroes for entrainment Nov ember 19 to 21.
 With the assembling of these men at camp, the total number of men in- ducted into military service under the draft will have passed the 3,OOO.O0O,- % mark; and the number of men in the United States army, in the field or in training will total more than A. OOc,OOO.
 Men who registered September 21 under the act extending draft age limits will make up the ladgest pro- portion of the November mobilization as the eligible list remaining from previous registrations alrgely was exhausted by the October calls, which were suspended because of the influ- enza epidemic and then nearly all re- issued during the last three weeks. In states where the calls have not been re-issued, men called for camp in October will leave with the men call ed for this month.
 Calls for additional men to entrain later this month are in proportion, it was announced today at the office of the Provost Marshal General

Break. Resistance.

To the north of the. advancing Americans who have broken through the Germans lines of resistance, in cluding the Freya position, which was shattered Saturday, lies the so- called Mouse line--the enemy's last stronghold in this part of France
 The line in general follows the military crests and railroads east ward from Hirson to Mezieres, Sedan MouZOn, Montmedy and Longuyon and then south to Etain. The railroad functions in the regions of Montmedy and Longuyon are already under the fire of the American big guns.
 No Organized DefenseS.
 It is not believed that the Germans have an organized system of defenses between the American front and this 'Meuse line, as they had the greatest confidence that the F'rya, Kriemhilde and other lines would hold in spite of any attacks designed to breab them The so-called Mouse line has the advantage of important railroad functions connecting it with the main lines direct from Germany by se- eral routes.

To Preserve Supremacy.

It is possible that the conditions when finally agreed upon, may no emerge from the council in exactly this degree, but it is believed they vii be no less potent for preserving the military supremacy of the allies, an( at the same time offer proposition! which the Germans may accept with out furthed fighting.
 The same information coming thr, the same sources, indicates that the armistice terms as finally agreed up. on may be made known to the worlc Monday or Tuesday and that they will be presented to Germany fol acceptance in their military entirety or not at all, without opportunity fol quibbling or trading.
 Absolute Surrender.
 From military point of view, the proposal that the German admies be disarmed and retire thirty miles beyond the Rhine. is s.asssd onh as tantamount to an absolute surrender It would not only throw open to the allied and American armies many roads to Berlin but with the surren- der of railway rolling stock deprive the enemy of means to retrace theil steps or fight if they would.
 There is some question among mili. tary observers as to whether such complete terms are really necessary Undoubtedly, the object sought in pro- posing that the enemy retire thirty miles behind the Rhine is to destroy the German inner defense system That system is supported by chain of fortresses, without which the line would be untenable and some military expedts believe it may not be neces. sary to go farther than to demand the surrender or dismantling of these forts.
 Zone For Peace Preparation.
 The military discussion developed by the proposals brings a suggestion that a wide zone might be established within the borders of Germany, from which the armed forces on both sides might withdraw until peace treaties finally have fixed new boundaries The French and Belgian frontiers are expected to be re-occupied by the allied armies but it might develop
