PRISONERS MUST WORK.

There has been much criticism oi
the luxurious lie that German war

treatment has been as nlulgent AS
the rublic believed Is not altogether
clear. But their lot has certainty
been pleasauter than that oi war

uies. and probably better iA4u most
u them deserved.
The government from now on viii

only think OF the girls burned tc
death in the Eddystone explosion
and the seamen drowned every day
from merchant ships. | there is
any worse form Of death it is that
hurled upon unsuspecting victims
in sudden accidents.
Privations OF food, heat and com.
forts, are also deliberately calculat-
ed by the enemy to kill off more OF
our worthless brood.
The boys who have been armed
and who have marched away to

THE ROYAL RENEGADE.

In Kaiser Karl OF Austria-Hun-
gary the world beholds the pitifuI
spectacle of a sovereign who has
seen the light and then shut his
eyes TO it. who has dc6ed the devil
and then made league with him.
There is every indication that Karl
started his reign with an apprecia-
ton OF his peoples suferlngs and
his government crimes, with de
sire to make peace on fair terms,
aud with an intention to free Aus
tria from the evil domination OF
Germany.
There is no question OF the young
empcror's statement in his letter to
Prince SiXtus, that no responsibility
for the war could fall on him. 1t
WAS scheming old Franz Josef and
thee ring Of sword-rattliug free
hooters around him that lent them.
selves to the malign purposes OF
russian miitarism, and launched
the war.
That letter was written a year
ago. The war then was not going
well for the central empires. Policy
as we'll as justice suggested that
Karl make peace quickly, on what
ever terms his enemies might ac-
ctpt.
lust why that peace offer failed
we do not know. But the subse
Quent story is an interesting human
document on the psychology OF
kings. For since that time Karl
has been tempted OF the devil, and
has yielded.
Things swung unexpectedly III
Germany's favor The Russian rev
olution instead OF helping the allies,
proved their greatest nindrance.
Germany succeeded against Russia
far beyond her hopes. Germany,
persuading Austria to an invasion OF
I.aly. brought her a dazzling victory
HOPE arose anew of dealing sue
ce,sful blows against France and
England. 1t seemed that the GER
tral empires must after all, attain
the great aim of their original con
spiracy, conquest, glory and do /
nnniou. Kaiser Wilhelm, we may
fancy took his young friend mp to
the summit OF a mountain and show
ed him all the kingdoms OF the
world. And the young rulers head
and heart were turned.
That was sad day ior the world.
II was sad day for Austria. The
man who might have saved his
country and won an impcrishable
place in history has been weighed
in the balance and found wanting.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
5emo, which generally oyercomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
