mouths of steel lowered toward the
ground. officers erect on their su-
perb horses, some of them thin, OF
the Prussian type with cruel faces
SCARED by duelling, wearing mono
cles and carrying English riding
crops: some of the heavier type,
with rolls of fat, the mark of the
beast, as Emerson says, at the back
of the neck, and red. heavy, brutal
faces, smoking cigarettes, looking
about over the heads of the silent,
awed, saddened crowd, with AFRO
CANT, in S o e n t, cOntemptuous
chances. Their equipment, OF
course, was perfect: sabres, revolv-
ers in holsters, field glasses, maps
in a leather case, with isinglass to
protect them, and a small electric
lamp slung about the neck-nOt a
detail had been overlooked in those
provisions of forty-four years.
The infantry marched in column
of fours, with heavy, methodical
German precision, squat Germans
for the most part, their trousers I'M
tidfly thrust in their heavy boots,
that drummed with iron-shod heels
heavily on the pavement: an extra
pair of boots dangled from each
knapsack.
Many Types
There were Germans OF all the
familiar types, thick necks and flat
tened occiputs, low foreheads and
yellow hair shaved closely, like
convicts; stolid indifferent faces,
with no ray of mirth or humor, but
now and then pale blue eyes gazing
through spectacles, the familiar stu
dent type. Their squat spiked he'll
NETS were covered with cloth OF
that same greenish grey Of the uni
form; every bit of metal on the uni
form indeed was covered, and in
most instances the numbers on their
shoulders were similarly concealed
They were all young men, strong,
with long backs and short, stout
legs, hard thews and sinews, and
all individuality, all initiative had
been drilled out of them; they plod-
ded on with the dumb docility OF
fatalism and their officers, across
the vast gulf that militarism places
between officers and men, were as
contemptuous of them as they were
of the awed crowds along the side
walks.
Cavalry, infantry and artillery
went by: each regiment Of infantry
was supported by a troop of cav
airy, and followed by a battery,
forming integrally an unit. The in
fantry, trudging along suddenly
whistling to the tune that brought
back instantly the memory of happy
summers at home-"Every Little
Movement Has a Meaning of It's
Own"-though to them of course 1T

many. Others sang the Austrian
national hymn and there was one
company that sang something from
Lohengrin. And how they sang!
Efficiency, drill, discipline here but
too apparent, for they sang all the
partsNlike a Mannercher, as though
they had been trained-as no doubt
they had.

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed with Sulphur 1t Brings
Back Tits Beautiful Lustre
At Once.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
. notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of a youthful APP
pearance. Your hair is your charm.
1t makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray and looks streak
ed, just a few applications of Sage
Tea and Sulphur enhances it's ap-
pearance hundred-fold.
! Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a 50-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" which is merely the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients. Thousands of
folks recommend this ready-to-use
preparation. because it darkens the
hair beautifully, besides. no one can
possibly tell, as it darkens SO natural
ly and evenly. You moisten sponge
or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair. taking one small
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it's natural color
is restored and it becomes thick,
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.

cation or prevention of disease

SPREADING GERMAN
PROP uganda AGAIN

Buenos Aires, Sept. 3.-(Corres-
pondence Of The Associated Press.)-
German propaganda here has taken
in the form of well organized cam
paign of street corner coap-box
speakers haranguing against the al
lied blacklists. The speakers base
their arguments on hhe high cost OF
living which they trace to these
blacklistts.
Evidently a large number of speak
ers have been engaged, for in all
parts of the business district and at
all hours there are small groups of
listeners around a speaker who Is
mounted on wooden soap box. AND
as he moves from one corner to an
other he is followed by mounted
member of the Security Squadron.
These speakers are advertised as
being members of the "Liga Pre-
Equidad," which might be translated
as the Equity or Justice League. This
league has an office near the bust
mes center. Over the entrance to
it is shield that was so pr continent
during the Luxburg neutrality CAM
paign but which had disappeared,
the shield O fthe 'Pro-Neutrailty Lea

INDIANS CIVILIZED
Compared To Germans Indians Q
Frontier Days Were Highly
Civilized.

With The American Army in
France, Oct. 30 Correspondence OF
The Associated Press.)-Compared
to the German soldier Of today who
before the war was supposed to be
civilized, the American Indian OF
frontier days is declared by an Ameri-
can medical officer to have been high
ly civilized.
The Indian never pretended t. be
anything but savage" said the
medical officer, "while the Germans
have been pretending to be peace
loving and human for the past CEN
tury."
Deliberate killing by German troops
of Red Cross workers engaged III their
work of mercy on the battlefields has
aroused the wrath of American ar.
my officers. 1t is asserted that all
during the Marine battle, the German
aviators swept low over field dress
ing stations, pouring machine gun
bullets into the medical units as they
tended the wounded and dropping
bombs on hospitals, although the Red
Cross insignia was in plain view. The
Hun snipers picked off Red Cross
stretcher bearers as quickly as COM
Blatant soldiers.
"They acted just like cornered rats

have the courage to fight to death
When they were surrounded and hao
no chance, they would come out OF
their machine gun nests with tears In
their eyes and cries of 'kamerad.' The

CONFLICTING REPORTS.

Urbana, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-Conflicting
rumors as to whether Ralph D.
C"Slouie") Chapman, Captain Of the
championship University Of Illinois
football team of 1914 and a member
of Walter Camps All-American foot
ball team, is successfully recovering
from wounds overseas are being circu-
lated.
Letter received some time ago told
of how Chapman was recovering in a
base hospital, but letter received re-
Gently from J. H. Rapp, formerly a
member of the Illinois track team,
tells that information there is to the
effect that Chapman is dead. +.
The former captain, who will be
remembered by sport fans as one Of
the best linesmen ever turned outa at
Illinois and one of the best in the, west
was a captain of the Marines and was
severely wounded in the battle at
Chateau Thierry.

SHARKS AFTER SUBS
Sea Gulls and Sharks Follow U'Boats
Giving Destroyers indication
(1f Presence.

OF Presence.
On Board an American Destroyer IN
French Waters, Oct. 30.--(Correspond-
ence The Associated Press) Sharks
and sea gullsfi the scavangers OF the
sea have learned to follow in the
wake OF the submarines and watch
and wait for the food likely to come
from the wreckage of merchant YES
sells destroyed by the German sea
wolves. This fact has been observed
by the commanders of American de-
stroyers and is used as clue to hunt
down the Hun at sea.
The presence of schools of sharks
and focks of sea gulls puts the men
of the American destroyers on the tip
toe of expectation when they are hunt
ing for a periscope in the path of
American transports. One commander
returning to port the other day said:
I'VE saw good many sharks and
flocks of sea gulls and these, you
know, are pretty good sign of sub
marines"
After several years of sinkings by
submarines, the sharks and sea fowl
have mormed the habit of following
in the wake of submarines knowing
that food is likely to come from the
'wreckage. Whether it is cargo
thrown, overheard from the freighter
or wreckage thrown UP from the tor
pedo explosion makes no difference
the appearance of sharks and birds
usually means that there are SUBJ
marines around"

ALL NATIONS in
WORLDS 5ERIES
AFTER The WAX
Paris, London, Chicago, New
York, Montreal and Other
Towns In League.

Paris, Nov. 31.-(By Mail.)-One of
these days, after the world has been
made safe for democracy, and there
are no more kaisers left to jeopardfze
its peace, perhaps we will have real
worlds series on the baseball dia-
mond, series that will involve teams
representing half dozen of the ma
tions of Europe as we'll as the United
States.
This, of course, is looking long
way ahead, and possibly, with the
vastly more important business OF
winning the war now at hand, 1t may
sound like rather a silly dream. Still,
the war will end some day, and base
ball is going on forever. AS soon as
hostilities cease, it probably will
boom as it never doomed before, par
ticularly the amateur variety.
Baseball got it's real start toward
being the American national game
right after the Civil War. The SOL
|diere who had played it in the army
took it home with them, and having
once succombed to it's fascination,
they never ceased to enjoy It. 1t Is
we'll within the range Of the possi-
bilities therefore that the game may
become the International pastime
when this war ends. The American
army is playing baseball in France
whenever conditions permit; the Eng
lish, after four years declining to
consider 1t, have taken 1t up to a con-
siderable extent, and the French SOL
der is learning it by order. Not long
ago one of the high officials of. the
French Ministry of War directed that
instruction in baseball was to be a
regular part of the army's training,
SO the future of the game is the land
of the Tricolor seems to be assured.
The American Y. NJ. C. A. is the big
gest agency for promoting baseball in
France, although the knights of Col
umbus and other American Warfare
agencies are doing their SHARE 1t
supplies the material to the Yankee
soldiers-has assigned some of its
best physical directors to help the
British Tommies learn the fine points
and is now prepared to give similar
aid to the French Poilus. Nearly a
million dollars worth of baseball
paraphernalia will be furnished to the
American army by the Red Triangle
in 1919. The sum of $369,OOO for
baseballs alone is one Of the stagger-
ing items in the physical departments
budget for next year.

The kidneys do their utmost to

When your kidneys ache and feel

the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous

about four ounces of .Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in glass OF water
before breakfast each morning and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
