compatible with the efficient conduct
Of the war, just what the war dejart-

time.

the facts. 1t is entitled to know what
the problems have been, and what
steps have been taken to meet them

Billy Sunday In Washington Sees
Fall Of Jerusalem az
Told In the ~
Bible.

Washington Times: 1.-THE restora
ton of Palestine to the Jews as ma
ton is fuHillment of prophecy,
believe" Billy Sunday told a Times
reporter at his home in Wisconsin
avenue this morning
THE test OF a prophecy in the
Bible IS the fulfillment thereof, and
while I cannot say for certain that
the restoration of Palestine was
pTophesied by the Bible still it may
fulfill prophecy.
Il am not sure that the war WAS
prophesied by the Bible. The near.
est to a prophecy that I can find in
the Bible foretelling the war is in
the Book Of Matthew There shall be-
wars and rumors of war, and nations
Of men shall rise against each other
This is the most horrible time that
humanity has ever passed through.
It may be the preparation for great-
er and more beautiful existence, but
there is no prophecy in the Bible that
I know OF which foretells these things.
II believe that the restoration Of
Palestine to the Jews was made in
the only way that 1t could have been
by shot and she'll That dirty, low,
down, thieving. sneaking bunch Of
cut-throat Turks would never have
restored Palestine to the Jews Of
their own free will. 1t is wonder
full thing for them as nation. Orig.
inally 1t was their country. 1t has
been taken away from them and now
they are to receive it again

OF DEMANDS
Teutons FlatIy Refuse to Listen to
Russian Request for
Removal Of Armed
Troops.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
LONDON, Jan 1.-THE central
powers have fatty rejected Russian
demands for withdrawal of Teutonic
armies from occupied portions of
Russia, according to wireless dis
patches from Berlin intercepted here
today.
On Monday, according to these
messages, the central powers dele
gates at Brest-Litovsk made a
lengthy reply asserting that Germany
and Austria-Hungary "do not intend
incorporating the occupied territories
into their respective countries" but
adding that withdrawal of central
powers armies is impossible as long
as the war lasts"
However" the statement added,
1--WE would endeavor to reduce the
number of occupying troops.
1.-The central powers agree in the
principle that the people should vote
on broad lines on the basis of citi-
zenship, but referendum appears
to be impractical. A vote taken by
an elected representative body seems
sufficient.
THE central powers can 90 no

The stateme nt also asserted that
the Teutons were willing in be-
nevolent spirit to examine the ques-
ton of return of refugees which
was insisted upon by the Russians

SORRY TO HEAR
OF HIS DEATH
Editor Of Washington Democrat Pays
Tribute to Late e. p. Nc
Manus, Who Was His
Friend.

| Washington Democrat: We could
| hardly believe the information that
Ed. McManus, big bluff, good natured,
eloquent Ed. McManus of Keokuk,
was dead. He was buried last Thurs
day from the Catholic church, of
which he was lifelong member. He
was state senator and at the time of
his death was postmaster at Keokuk.
He dropped dead in his office, which
was a great shock and surprise to
us, till we had talked with the Jack
McKeone family. They knew that he
had been troubled for some years with
a shock to them, was not surprise.
They were very good friends, as Nc
Keone's formerly lived there.
He leaves a wife and son, the SOL
being county attorney or ex-county at.
torney. Anyway he is lawyer and d
good public speaker. He was temp
orary chairman of the last democratic
state convention. and inherited his
fathers aptitude for public address,.
We have often remarked that any
Irishman could make speech. but
Ed. McManus was above the average,
for his tongue was honeyed over with
eloquence and he was an exception
ally entertaining speaker.
He was about fifty-eight, altogether
too young to be taken His brother,
Tom, we believe, was still younger.
And how greatly we miss Tom, and
we shall greatly miss Ed at our polit.
ical powows, and in social communl-
cations. Ed was best known by the
writer. and he was always typical
Irishman, joker. and a good nature<l
banter, but while he was keen to
send jib. he just as joyfully took
one, when it was aimed at him.
Sincerely, and truly, we mourn for
a mighty good friend. We know. now
of not single man, outside of rel
alive, whom we shall more greatly
miss than just Edward P. McManus
To his wife and to his talented son;
the Democrat offers It's sincere con-
dolence.

They Walked Away With the Game
Which Was Warmly Contested
by Huiskamps Until
the Last.
SCORE WAS DECISIVE
Huiskamps Made Splendid Showing in
the Third Inning, But Fell
Down in All the
Rest.

The ST. Paul's won the city in
door baseball championship in a
game played at the "Y" gymnasium
last evening. The game was by far
the most thrilling and spectacular
season just brought to close. Both
the st. Paul boys played a much
better fielding game. st. Paul also
made more of their opportunities to
score as Indicated by the stolen
bases in the tabulated score. Neither
team scored until the third inning.
Huiskamps were the first to break
the tie, and when they came to bat
two walks and five hits netted them
five runs. This looked like a lead
that the Germans would have diff
Guilty to overcome, but the fans were
not left in doubt long, for the first
four men up hit safely, and this
coupled by clever base running net
ted them four runs before the first
out was made The ST. Paul boys
continued their scoring for the next
two innings, while Huiskamps were
less fortunate. After the third, Huis-
Ramps had only one other chance to
score, and that came in the third.
With two men out, Huiskamp walked
and Harness hit, Polly following at
the bat. Polly led the Commercial
league In hitting, and it looked like
a sure score. but Klann passed him
and with three men on, struck out
the next man and retired the side
without score.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it. no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work
