WASHINGTON, D. c., May 80.
"A nation, united, paid solemn
tribute on this Memorial day to
its heroes of the past and its
heroes of the present.
In prayer and fasting, follow
ing out its presidents request,
the country took grave heed of
the past and intense inventory of
the present. The withered ranks
of Civil war veterans who went
tenderly to place on tombs of the
fighters of other days a garland
of memory, were Joined by those
of the present generation who
honored the living heroes and the
dead martyrs Of today's contest
with autocracy.
The lines of North and South,
long since obliterated, cast no
on the observance of this
national holiday. For the North
land and the Southland made of
it a unified and consecrated time,

DRIVE OFF
GAS RAIDS
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN LORRAINE, May 30.-The
Germans sent over three raiding
parties during another gas pro-
jector attack in a Lorraine sec
tor shortly after midnight yes
terday. Two of them were vir-
tually wiped out and the third
driven off.
The enemy patrols object was
to seek information regarding the
result of the gassing and to take
prisoners, if possible.
One of the raiding parties,
numbering about so, was beaten
off before it reached the Ameri-
can lines. The second managed
to get IA men into the American
trenches. Ten Of these were kill
ed and the other four were cap
tured.
The third party of SO men was
allowed to walk into an ambush.
When the Yankees blazed away,
the few boches remaining un-
scathed rushed pell nell for their
own lines. They left the ground
strewn with dead.

A SIMPLE WAY TO
REMOVE DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that ia to dissolve 1t.
then you destroy 1t entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need), apply It at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, il not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve, and en-
tirely destroy, every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

fifth machine which made him an

Frenchman in baby Newport

quite excited and jumped out wav-

death, for he had brot down a

Fighting the Rats

Sidney Hill, son of f. B. Hill,
writes home that he Is not only
fighting the Germans, but that he
is also fighting the rats.
He says that sometimes when he
is listening on the wire for the
boches the rats get on it and begin
to fight and for a few moments he
does not know whether it is a
boche coming and whether he
should throw a bomb, or fire his
rifle, or just lay low. 81 would
hate to kill poor innocent rat,
he writes, "but / would love to
get boche."

upon the prospects of buying some
great American newspaper. Mr.. Pal
mer connects these with the declara-
tion that the influence which the brew
ers attempted to exert was directly in
the interest OF Germany. His revela-
tions of these documents caused sen
sation in Congress and official Wash
ngton which, according to the Asso-
cated Press, probably had not been
approached since athe declaration OF

Palmer Peeved
Pro-Beer Paper

Having no answers or explanations
for the revelations following A,
Mitchell Palmer's speech. in which
the secret methods OF the liquor deal
ers were exposed, the vets are at
tempting to detract attention from
their disgrace by abusing Mr.. Palmer
and the Anti-Saloon League. The
Champion of Fair Play complains
that Mr.. Palmer failed, like some of
the other Wilson appointees, to re-
alize that he was servant of all the
people and not the tool of the Anti
Saloon League"
What bothers the vets is that they
are no longer able to prevent public
officials from serving the people when
the peoples welfare conflicts with the
political power and the private inter
ests of the alcohol merchants

War Prohibition
Has Passed House

The war Prohibition bill was passed
by the House on September 6 by
vote of III to 34 All proposed amend
ments were defeated. The agricul-
tural appropriation bill, of which war
Prohibition is a part, has been sent
to conference for an adjustment of
differences between the two houses
on appropriation items. The war Pro-
hibition feature of the agricultural bill
was passed by the Senate without
roll call on August %. Accordingly
all that remains to make war Prohibi
ton law is the passage of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, after the
adjustment OF differences of minor
nature relative to other features of
the bill. War Prohibition becoming
effective on July and remaining in
force until the war Is over and orr
army demobilized is now certainty,

large circulation, widely advertised,
would impress the native American
and lead him TO take the paper And,
meanwhile, deficit would be changed
into a profit to be used for further
propaganda.
THE interests to which / refer have

subject of newspaper not hostile to
their industry, and | know that they
would be more than ready to give
their support to the plan now in hand"
Further Revelations Expected
The Senate resolution calling for an
investigation OF the methods OF the
brewers indicates that many political
secrets of the beer trade will be re-
vealed to the public The hand of the
brewers will be discovered as the NOV
ing force in many organizations which
have secretly been playing the game
of the vets. Other newspapers will
doubtless be proven the property OF
the alcohol trade Newspapers which
have been quofed by the wet papers,
as was the Washington Times, will
doubtless be found financially sup
ported by beer
The Brewery Boycotters
1t will be recalled by the readers OF
the Illinois Edition OF the American
Issue that a Frceport manufacturing
concern was held up not long ago by
an eastern brewery to help support
the National Association of Commerce
and Labor. At that time the docu-
ments were published i'll this paper
showing just how the brewers levied
their taxation and shrewdly implied
that concerns failing TO contribute
would lose the favor OF the beer trade
More facts along this line will doubt
less be developed by the Senate in-
quiry Threatening letters sent to
Chicago business men who sent dry
kilograms to Congress will probably
be considered by the Senate commit
tee in this connection. Enough is al
ready known OF the autocratic meth
DDS of the brewers to prevent any
good citizen from voting for wet can
didates for the Legislature. When all
the facts are known, vote for vets
who are servants of the brewers, can
only be considered as cast by voters
who have themselves been influenced
by the machinery OF the alcohol auto.
