NEW BOCHE PLAN

The rapid ascendency to influence
OF German Colonial Minister Solf Ia
held to indicate the growing trend OF
Teuton sentiment In favor Of the
return Of the German colonies at the
close of the war. even at the expense
OF Germany's allies and the General
scheme of the central powers toward
the East. Diplomats are Inclined to
believe that the naming OF Solf as
chancellor. committed as he f. to CO.

Must Extend Boundaries.
Diplomatic reports recently have
quoted extensively from German pa
pers in regard to the colonies. The
unanimous Teuton opinion Is that not
only must the German possessions
overseas be restored, but that colonial
boundaries must be revived to
strengthen the position Of the various
territories.
Franz Kobe. in the Deutsche Poll

Africa idea advanced by the Ger
mans, declare that "the German En-
pIre should be completed by the in

BOTH PARTIES SURE

Optimistic predictions Of party vic

Democratic and Republican leaders

mittee, and Congressman Tess, chair
man of the Republican committee.
made almost identical statements in
this regard. Both claim control of
the next House. Tess claims reduc-
ton Of Democratic control of the
Senate. Ferris claims a safe Demo-
cratic margin In the upper house.
Absence Of Issues.
But the singular absence of con-
trPversial issues from the campaign
has clearly nonplussed the leaders.
Both parties are appealing to the
people on a "win the war" platform.
Candidates for reelection are point
ing to their records of support for the
Administration. irrespective OF party.
New candidates, both Republican and
Democratic. are promising to support
to the utmost all war measures.
This is unusual, but recent events
have shown IL to be the only sane
course for an aspiring politician. The
result OF President Wilson's condem-
nation Of Senator Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi and Senator Hardwick of
Georgia has shown that the voters of
the country are with the President in
his demand for legislators who will
support and not hamper him.

suits show an almost unbroken rec

Sport Snap Shots

The 1918, football season is past.

The 1918. football season is past.
The scores have been filed.
The records of each team are his
tory.
The season stands out as one Of the
greatest in the games history.
Two things helped to make it such.
The formation OF powerful teams at
the army and navy camps and train
Ing stations. The complete shakeup
and rebuilding of the great college
teams due to the war.
The only blot on the page is the
unsportsInanlike action Of the Univer-
city OF Pittsburg eleven--once called
great.
The Pitt team. under Glen Warner.
had gone through thirty games--over
q period of practically four years
without being defeated. They had
piled up a total of 500 points to their
opponents so. They trampled over
all teams with scarcely any stiff op-
position.
Pulled with pride--gouty with the
rich food of victory-they almost
laughed when the Cleveland Naval
Reserve tea masked them for game.
But they consented.
The game was staged in Cleveland
and the Naval Reserves won 10 to 8.
Failure of Pittsburg to kick goal after
their only touchdown sounded their
knell after they had taken the lead
ut the start. The Reserves battled
against odds and won--won honorably.
The next day Pitt howled. They
wanted q return game--on their own
ball field. They wanted competent
referees" picked by themselves. They
said they We're robbed of the game by
rotten" officiating. They cried they
had been roughed.
To sum it up--they whined the
whine Of babies. They tried to alibi
They pulled the cry-baby act.
Their claims are absurd.
Can Pitt blame the officials for the
teams failure to hurl forward passes
successfully?
Pit lost more ground than 1t gained
by using the forward pass.
Ten attempts netted Pitt a total
rain OF twenty yards.
The Reserves intercepted and re-.
turned Pitt passes a total of forty
one yards.

TO AVOID AND
RELIEVE INFLUENZA
BY Dr.. franklin Duane.

Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard of
influenza. The more you fear the dis
ease, the surer you are to get it.. Go
right about your business and forget
it. AS the disease is spread principal
~ by contact through sneezing, cough
ing or splitting, many health authori-
ties have advised that everyone wear
a gauze, which is daily washed and
saturated with one to five hundred
solution of zinc sulphate in water, and
then dried before wearing over the
nose and mouth. You should avoid
crowds, common drinking cups and
public towels. Keep your strength up
by taking lots of exercise in the open
air and plenty Of nourishing food.
If you have any Of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions, flush
ed face. headache. feverishness, rest
lessness, weakness, or irritating cough,
give up work ut once and go to bed.

sweating Is free and the fever re-
duced take a dose of two Anuric Tab
lets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least a glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly
to relieve the soreness of the muscles
and bones from which most patients
complain and help the kidneys flush
out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
