CONDITIONS IN AUSTRIA.

The Arbeiter Zeitung, of Vienna, was sup
pressed for portraying conditions as they exist
in Austria Hungary, but copies OF the paper
brought to Switzerland show a horrifylng state
of affairs in the dual Kingdom General Po-
tierek. in command in Bosnia, boosted that he
had signed three thousand, five hundred death
sentences. In the prison at Sarajevo ten thou
san prisoners have died mysterlously IN addl-.
ton to great numbers who were executed. In
Selebc all the men between sixteen and sixty
wears of age were shot without a trial. and an
army doctor in Istria admitted that he had CIV
en- poison to prisoners as the best way OF get
ting rid of them. Everywhere In the empire
food control is used as a political weapon. The
mobiles. the members of the court, the mag
mates and large landowners get food, for money
and influence will still procure it, while the
masses are practically starving; and the gal
lows, imprisonment, deportation, hunger and
disease have killed more people In Austria than
the war. Conditions are broadly similar IN
GERMANY according to former Ambassador
Gerard The soldiers get enough to eat, but the
old are left to die Before the Germans are
starved out he says, they will starve ten million
Poles five million Frenchmen, two million Bel
gians and two million prisoners of war. Ii
these accounts picture conditions truly IN the
central empires is it not to be wondered that
neace at any price is becoming the insistent
popular demand? Especially in Austria is life
horrible nightmare, and the Arbeiter Zeitmg
declares that the peoples suffer1ngs during a
single month cannot be compensated by any adj
vantages, however considerable derived from
continuing the war.

ipely. the dealer is required to DuS
equal quantities of the substitutes
and the consumer, who cannot De
ordered to do anything. Is neverthe-
less constrained by circumstances 10
follow the dealers example.
1t is plain that the prices OF wheas
substitutes now become matter OF
great importance. Yet the food al.
ministration has no direct controi
over them, because congress gave y
none The demand for corn, rye,
barley and oats is suddenly increas
cd and the prices naturally show
the effect of this by going up.
1t Is obviously unfair to require
The consumer to buy wheat substl
tutes, which he does not relish as
well as wheat itself. and pay
more for them than for wheat. But
that is precisely the anomaly that
threatens, as the result OF the action
of congress in singing out wheat fol-
price fixation and letting other grains
and farm products take care OF them
selves.
One unfortunate result of this con
dition OF affairs will be, unless promp
! measures are taken, to induce the
! farmers to plant less wheat and more
substitutes. 1t would be genuine
misfortune, il the acreage OF sprinl
wheat were to be cut down In favo
/ of the less valuable and exportapl'
grains. But if the farmer can MAKE
more money off a field of rye or bar
ley or oats than from the same fielt
planted to wheat, the temptation vii
be strong.
Thus from the standpoint OF thu
consumer, from that of the farmer
and from that of our allies who neet
and will need all the wheat we cal
spare them, it is important that tn
prices of wheat substitutes should b.
| carefully regulated.

Within ten minutes after an appli
cation Of Danderine you can not find
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty Of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy. just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy. and have an appearance OF
abundance: an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or intur-
ed by careless treatment-thats all
you surely can have beautiful hair and
lots of it If you will just try little
Danderine.

a message under terrible sheiihre.
In June 1917, it was announced In
Canedeyeille's regiment that three OF
the most efficient under-oficers would
be sent to st. Cyr to train for omcers
posts. The American never dreamed
that he would be one of these. Inc
night Of the day OH which the an
nouncement was made, Capedevellle
was ordered to take charge OF patron
in No Mans land. His party was at
tackled by German patrol OF superior
numbers. A corporal was killed ny
the Americans side. With extreme
GOODNESS he rallied his men, who killed
and wounded many Of the assa1lants
and took several prisoners. The patroi
regained the French lines without 1ur
their loss.
As a reward for bravery and leader
ship. the American corporal was Sc
lected as a student officer at the West
Point of France. He has just finished
training and will soon return to tne
front.
Capedeveille was a close chum OF
Charles Trinkard with whom he work

offices of the Compagnie Generate

together. Trinkard was terribly

REMAIN
AS FRENCHMAN
New Yorker to Remain Under Tri-
Color After Others Of Foreign
Legion Enter u S.
Service.

tBy w. S. Forrest, United Press STAFF
Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Jan. 4-tby maiD-
Among the few remaining American
volunteers of the French foreign le'
gion who may soon pass into the
American army, there is one who will
elect to remain permanently under the
Tri-color.
Ferdinand Capedeveille, "a. New
York City, son of the New York fenc-
ing master, today bears the distinction
of being the only American volunteer
to rise by sheer merit from the ranks
into ST. Cyr-the West Point OF
France-and probably the only Ameri-
can ever to graduate from that IA.
NOUS military institution.
Capedeveille came to France in
August, 1914 and Immediately enlisted
as a private in the foreign legion. To-
day he is a graduate officer OF st. Cyr.
Pure military ability and extreme
bravery won him this honor.
To escape the tyranny of an Ameri.
can sergeant of the legion, Capede,
yeille and several American comrades,
after the 1egion's great battles in
Champagne during September and
October, 1915, transferred to the 10th
line infantry regiment. The young
New Yorker participated in the first
defense Of Fort Vaux in February
1916 and later in the battle of Caillet
wood in May, 1916 won the war cross
