USED RESIN0L FOR BAD SKIN TROUBLE
Considers Recovery Remarkable

Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 14-'rFor al- most six years 1 suffered from a se- were case of skin trouble which began with swelling and intense pain in my
 knee. Then my leg became inflamed and sores broke out. which itched and burned terribly day and night. Itried many remedies, but gained no relief. even spent six months in the hos pital, and the doctors wanted to an- putate my leg. At last I tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and ob- tained relief from the first applica- tion. My knee is now well, and con- slider the cure remarkable, as my trouble was very serious" (Sfgned) Mrs. Henri Mauer, 416 Hooper Street. All druggists sell Resino1 Ointment and Resinol Soap.

THE ANSWER IN THE FIELD

GENERAL FOCH'S troops are pushing
~ the Germans back with a vigor and a
speed which leave no possible doubt Of the
outcome. La Fere. Laon and Roulers have
fallen. The German troops have been
forced out of the St. Gobain Forest, and
the strongholds that they have held for
four years are now In the possession of
the Allied armies The Hindenburg line is
definitely smashed in its strongest points,
so that scarcely kilometer of l.; is still in
possession OF the Huns.
The Allied armies are pushing the Ger
mans back mile after mile on a long front.
When the immediate purpose Of the pres.
sure farther south was accomplished Cen
eral Foch began to hammer In Flanders
preparatory to taking the North Sea posi-
tlons of Ostend and Zeebrugge and making
an advance on Ghent In the south the
armies are within about twenty miles of
the center of the second line Of German
defense. running through Hirson. Mezleres,
Sedan and Metz, and equally near the
northern end of the third line of defense,
running from Maubeuge through Givet
Every strategic point which has been at
tackled has thus far fallen and Foch's re.
serve armies are still untouched.

ROOD MARSHAL HoovER's NEW DRIVE

ErvEN as the war seems to be approach
- Ing an end we are beginning In this
country to feel its minor hardships more
acutsiy. We shall continue to endure
wAr,s lesser hardships long after peace Is
declared. This much is evident in the
htest restrictive schedule Of the Federal
food administration. which is to become
effective on October 21 in every place where
food Is eaten.
+. Butter will be doled out in measured
bits and strictly limited The sugar al
lotment IL TO be further reduced Wheat
substitutes like corn are to be restricted
for the first time. There is that in
ne food administration schedule which
indicates that We may even be COM
peeled 10 endure on occasion some of the
pangs Of hunger that have been familiar
for four years In the countries allied with
W against Germany. There are to be no
more nonessential foods. Everything you
cat h to be restricted more or less.
No one who understands the scope Of
Tire war or the full extent OF it's confusions
ana disasters will doubt the absolute
necessity OF the new rulings. We are ac-
custoned to think Of the French, British
Russia and elsewhere. as magical forces
that move automatically t. a benefcent
end. We do not always stop to realize
that these armies are dependent upon vast
civilian populations In the rear and that
these populations would be starved long
ago because OF the chaos In Europe were
1k not for the food saved from American
ta6aes and wrung from American soil.
Europe will have to be fed by America
ev6n for a time after peace Is declared.

~ Arms the ordinary considerations Of
6Vmanity that invariably prevail In such
,inotAnces will cause the diversion OF large
euDplles Of food to the helpless noncom.

corning year will be the most difficult one
for those who must provision Europe
We have Jared well enough SO far. We
might as well tighten our belts and pre-
pare to cultivate the virtue of self-denial.

had not yet fallen. spurned such demands and
the war went on.
When Paris eventually capitulated in
January, 1871, three weeks armistice.
pending preliminaries to peace conference

! city 1t was stipulated that the German
army should not enter the French capital
during the truce. Germany kept this agree
ment, but as soon as the time was up and
the actual peace deliberations were under
way the Hun craving for snowy triumph
prevailed.
The Prussans insisted on either marching
down the Champs Eiysees or keeping the
fortress city Of Belfort. BY this time France,
freed OF the delusions OF the regime Of ma"
poleon the Little" had begun to display that
keen. unsentmental wisdom which has SO
superbly inspired her during the present war.
She allowed her conquerors to show of and
kept Belfort. She still has it-a bulwark

This bit of history is particularly Interest,"
ing as an instance Of Hun promlse-keeping.
AS soon as the ban was lifted and all efforts
by certain Frenchmen during the truce to
revive the war had failed the Germans ex-
acted the very concession which they had
waived for three brief weeks.

an individual and is best let to itself in

On iuuiViouat anu II Dcst fciS W heooh As'
the difficult pursuit
In a general way, the note is amaz-
ingly inclusive for SO brief a document.
II lacks the curtness Of the preceding
message. 1t lacks the definiteness that
Mr.. Lodge and Colonel Roosevelt desired.
And yet it is evident that Mr.. Wilson,
dealing as he Is with tremendous forces
in state of flux, scrupulously avoided,
might serve to reunite the German peo-
pie in an alliance Of desperation with
Government now disgraced and dis
credited and fighting hard for life and
its grip on authority.
Analysed down to its inner meanings,
1t is apparent that the message leaves a
way open to future talk and temporizing.
1t will not satisfy those who felt that
Germany was ready for knockout blow
or those who disdain the very thought of
conversations with so detestable an
enemy.
Such as these must get what comfort
they can from the knowledge that Presi-
dent Wilson is plainly endeavoring,
against very great odds, to serve prin-
ciple Of right that exists above indi-
vidual passions and prejudices and de-
sires; that existed before the individual
was and that will persist, fixed and i'm
movable, after he is gone.
1t must be admitted that private opin-
ions count little now in relation to the
issues of the war. The war is too large.
Too many novel issues, many of them Of
immeasurable force, are involved here
and in Europe to permit of interludes
valuable chiefly for dramatic or senti-
mental appeal. The President seems to
be sensitive to many factors of which
the average man is happily ignorant.
He has handled the central issues In this
instance with sheer adroitness that
makes the cheap trickery Of Berlin
diplomacy seem even shabbier than it
really is. His quiet closing reference to
Austria and the calm suggestion Of
familiarity with the disintegrating proc
esses afoot among the German allies Is
one Of the most forceful paragraphs he
has ever written.
For the present there will be some
criticism of the note. In the future it
may be regarded as one of the triumphs
of Mr.. Wilson's unique diplomacy
Mednwhile the war aciu go on as it
sUent before. and no man can tell aohen
peace t0iu bc-,ohether it ViH com, after
another gear Of bitter fighting or sud

The message will fall like blow upon
Travelling Germany.
And that, Of course, is what it was
