Sponge Is Germ Carrier.

Along with many other unsanitary
toilet articles. the sponge is going out
Of fashion. But people may be still
found who consider it Indispensable.
They have overlooked the fact that the
sponge is porus and that every pore be-
comes a hiding place for untold colon
les of germs. You cannot boil a sponge
for any length of time, therefore you
cannot insure it's absolute. hygienic
cleanliness. AS the germs multiply. a
peculiar musty odor becomes notice
able.
When one battles. many particles of
dead skin are thrown off from the body.
If a sponge is used, quantities Of these
dead particles collect in the pores Of
the sponge and will remain there sven
after considerable rinsing. If a sponge
were examined under q microscope one
would be Mortified at the picture I'll

AMERICA GOES WILD
Greatest Celebration Country
Ever Has Known.
Frenzled Crowds Pack Streets of
Cities and vilIages-Business
Forgotten.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-When darkness
fell last night and the dinner hour OF
normal days impended, America had
just got a good running start on the
celebration which began with the
sounding of the victory sirens and
bombs early Monday morning and the
haring of skyrOckets and fireworks.
But there was no such thing as din
ner hour last night, and there was no
place like home.
The usual order of evening traffic
was reversed. With the streets in every
city and town of the country so packed,
1t seemed a wonder the crowds could
keep in motion.
BY sheer weight of their enthusiasm
the newcomers managed to find Shout
der room in the streets and an active
part in the widest spectacle America
has ever staged, according to reports
coming from every part of the country.

statement:

their splendid spirit of service and
sacrifice have been rewarded. Prus-

menaces liberty and justice. But be-
fore us lie new tasks and new burdens
which we must assume with the same
unity of purpose, the same devotion
and zeal. as have characterized the re-

while we celebrate this day of vic
tory, look forward to the future con-

ity and confident in the united will of

FORMER KAISER
GOES TO HOLLAND
CROSSES DUTCH BORDER WITH.
OUT OBTAINING PERMIT.
Accompanied by Wife, His Eldest Son,
Hindenbure and Other Members
Of German General Staff

London-The arrival of William
Hohenzollern, the former German EN-
peror, with his wife and oldest son,
has caused excitement and much UNI
easiness among Dutch authorities and
the public of that country, says a dis
patch to The Telegraph from Rotter-
dam.
1t is unofIicially stated that the ref
ugees did not obtain authorization
from Holland to enter the country and
crossed the frontier in the neighbor-
hood of Eysden because the Dutch
neutrality guards were weak at that
point.
1t is said that the Dutch govern
ment faces difficulty as to it's treat
ment of the unwelcome visitors. Many
people contend that William Hohen-
zollern and his eldest son are still
German soldiers and must be interned.
Others urge that they should be sent
back TO Germany.
Practically the whole German gem
eral staff, including Field Marshal
Hindenburg, accompanied the former
emperor, and ten automobiles carried
the party. The automobiles were
bristling with rifles and all the fugi-
tiyes were armed.

an end, does not mean that the great
American military machine will cease
to operate at once. America must
play an important part in disarming
and guarding the enemy.
During the interval between the ces-
sation of hostilities and the conclu-
sion of the peace conference, it is as
sumed that the major portion of Gen.
Pershing's expeditionary forces in
France must be retained there. 1t is
possible also that for reasons of in
ternationaI politics some American
garrisons may be kept in disputed ter
ritory even after the actual peace
negotiations have been brought to a
close.
Troops which have seen the longest
service in France probably will be re-
turned home soon to be replaced by
new men now in this country who will
perform guard or other duty overseas.
There are more than 100000 men
now in camps in the United States.

More Work For Navy.
Even with hostilities ended, how
ever, much other naval work, aside
from that of taking over and guard
ing German and Austrian naval YES
sells, remains to be done. Removal of
the thousands of mines laid by the
allied, American and German navies
will from no small part of this work
and undoubtedly the fleet of mine
sweeping and laying craft sent over
seas by the United States will assist
in this gigantic task. The greatest
mine field is that put down in the North
Sea as a barrage against German sub
marines The mines were manufac-
tured in his country and were laid
largely by American ships.
With the return of all German sub
marines to their bases, allied and
American shipping once more may sail
the seven seas without fear of moles-
tation and in disregard of the regula-
tons made necessary by Germany's
unrestricted warfare.
Shipping Is Released.
Much of the shipping used for war
purposes will be freed for peace time
commerce and there will follow a
gradual relaxation of the restrictions
as to food and other necessities inn
posed upon the peoples OF the allied
countries. These changes will not
come Immediately, however, for it is
the purpose of the American and en-
5ente governments to cooperate with
Germany. Austria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key Roumania, in furnishing as far as
possible the food and other supplies
necessary for the civilian populations
of those countries.
These considerations of world peace,
important as they are, must be adj
justed as they develop. They could
not be planned in advance, as has
been the breaking up the military
forces of the United States. Great

turns of millions of these soldiers to
