SHEEP IN PARKS
is WAR PROPOSAL
FOR KANSAS CITY

Kansas City. Mo-, May IA plan to
pasture sheep in the parks of this city
is being urged by f. r. de Vigne, ag-
ricultural expert for the school board.
who says the grazing of sheep on the
city's park would stimulate sheep
growing among Kansas City residents.
owning property outside the city, and
at the same time be valuable contri-
button to the nations supply of wool
and meat.
THE parks of Kansas City should
be devoted to the pasturage of sheep
as part of our civic war progress"
Mr.. de Vigne declared. mot only
would the expense of moving the
lawns be saved and an otherwise I'M
productive area be put into use, but
two essential war commodities would
be supplied"
The expense of guarding against
sheep-killing dogs, Mr.. de Vigne ex-
planned, can be eliminated in a large
measure by adopting the method used
by sheep raisers in the west. Under
this method the sheep are penned at
night in movable pen.

German People Beginning To
See Truth in West.
Increasingly Serious Conditions
Will Grow Hereafter.
DRIVE CERTAIN NOW
Only Peace Effort Can Satisfy
Home Folks.
Allies Must Be Alert for An
other Offensive, Too.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

New York, May IA period OF
pessimism has begun within the CEN
trail empires, because of the cessa ton
of Won Hindenburg's bloody offensive
and a realization that the extravagant
promises of the 'kaiser's militarists
have not been met.
Henceforth increasingly serious con-
ditions will be reported as existing in
Germany and Austria Hungary. The
ka1Ser'S incorrigibly dramatic temper
ament made this reaction doubly in
evltable by ordering last March the
announcement in such grandiloquent
terms of Hindenburg's spring slaugh-
ter.
Must Not Expect Too Much.
Nevertheless, caution is necessary in
interpreting too optimistically the i'm
mediate results of the disappointed
hopes of the German and Austro-
Hungarian people. Altho Hindenburg
has been checked, the kaiser can tell
his subjects that Germany's position
at the peace conference has been
greatly strengthened because of the
Picardy offensive.
This is the final card that the
HohenZollernS have to play.
That the argument will be used
with all the desperation of despair is
certain. But to make it effective, the
kaiser must show there is a possibility
OF a peace conference being called in
eio iiiiieuidle future at winch the
German gains in Picardy and Elan
ders can be capitalized
Peace Drive Certain
The German government therefore.
must start another peace drive at the
earliest possible moment. 1t will be
necessary for the allies to block this
crafty new offensive before it gathers
serious impetus. A conference to end
the war under present military condi-
tons would be interpreted by the peo-
pie or Germany and Austro- Hungary
as having been forced on the allies bv

front

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
zemo, which generally overeomes ali
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
Piles, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $LO0. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

With the British Armies in France.
May (delayed) For six days the
Germans have been blocked in Elan
ders For thirty-five days they have
been held in check at Amiens. What
is their next move and where?
Enemy prisoners are betraying
symptoms of apathy. Captured letters
intended for the German people at
home add to this impression. The
boches certainly are less cockSure than
at the start of their offensive and ap-
parently are suffering from fit of
Teutonic blues, which is typical when
anything goes wrong.
The German troops write despond-
emily of the still distant peace. which
they had been led to believe was near.
The whole tone of the prisoners
plants is that the troops have again
been misled and, instead of peace,
there will be more static warfare.
Altho they are down in the mouth
they will continue to do Hindenburg' s
misunderstanding for some time to
come. Further extremely heavy fight
ing is possible at any time.
Allies Are Not Worried.

mics and poilus. Elsewhere, l OBJ

stamped with a curious expression of
mixed cheeriness and grimness that

tlmistic. They whistle, sing and ex-
change banter as they move into the
lines, swapping jokes with their COM
rades coming out. All know the heavy
nip-and- battles that are vet in
store for them, but they are sereneIy
confident of the outcome.
