BEAUTY HINTS
FOR YOUR HAIR
How to Prevent 1t From Growing
Gray.

There is no occasion for you to look
unattractive or prematurely old be-
cause Of gray, streaked with gray,
white or faded hair. Don't let this
condition with its look Of age rob you
of your youthful beauty and the won
derful opportunities which life offers,
No matter how gray, prematurely gray,
lusterless or faded your hair might be,
ia Creole" Hair Dressing will re-
vive the color glands Of nature-pro-
mote a healthy condition Of the hair
and scalp-and cause all of your gray
or faded hair to become evenly dark,
soft, lustrous and beautiful. This
preparation is not dye, but an ele-
giant toilet requisite which is easily ap-
piled by simply combing or brushing
through the hair.

Accuse Principal of
Beating School Boy

Charged with unjustly beating
Nick Berry, a 10-year-old pupil,
with a heavy ruler, Charles NJ.
Sherman, principal of the Lowell
school, 18th and Yakima, was
ordered arrested Tuesday on a
warrant issued by Justice Linck.
Constable Mitchell was sent to
the school to make the arrest.
The warrant was sworn out by
Jacob Berry, father of the boy.
They live in Old Tacoma.
The beating occurred last Fri
day afternoon, according to the
story told by the boy when he Wis
tied the office OF Deputy Prose
cutor Bell with his father Mon
day.
He declared that after a scuffle
with another boy his teacher sent
him to the principals office.
Sherman, he said, grabbed him
by the neck and threw him over
a table, beating him with long,
heavy ruler and kicking him.
The deputy prosecutor Tuesday
declared the boys body was COW

war department to prepare for in

The movement will start March
20 and continue five days. This
Is the last increment Of the first

The movement will include the
mobilization of $4,000 Southern

Because of the peculiar camp
situation, some districts that have
completed their quotas will be
asked to furnish more men, and
will be given credit under the
second draft.
Several thousand OF those to-

MEANS
ALLIED
DRIVE,
BY j. w. II. MASON

Oh y. w. Il. MhSON
Written for the United Press
NEW YORK, March IT,
Frances request for more
American troops for the west
ern front, made public this. i.
afternoon, is based on plans
for an allied offensive.
The French government
greatly desires to secure once
more the initiative in the
west, which can be made per-
mancntly active against Ger
many only with American
help.
American soldiers in France
are now ready to block a German
offensive.
Won Hindenburg has delayed
too long his plans for risking a
western drive early this year.
Gen. Pershing is in position to
make Americas power play a de-
cisive part in checking any effort
of the Germans to break thru In
the west.
The American overseas troops
have reached the stage where
they can be called upon instantly
for service on a major defensive
scale.
The increasing frequency of
American raids and the constantly
enlarging sectors held by Gen.
. Pershing's forces demonstrate
conclusively that the preliminary
training period has been left be-
hind and the Americans are now
true craftsmen Of the trenches.
1t is improbable that Won Hin
denburg has been able to trans
fer from the Russian front to the
west an aggregate number of
troops for an offensive this year
appreciably exceeding the number
of Americans in France now ready
for defensive fighting.
The military power of the Unit
ed States henceforth must be TAX
en- into serious account by Ger
many, which means Gen. Pershing
has become the great enigma for
the kaiser's general staff.

TROOPS

PARIS, March 2.-Newton
d. Baker, American secretary of
war, came to France on cruiser
conveying 10000 troops, OF
which a portion were aboard a
former German liner, it was
learned today.
The voyage was enlivened in
mid-ocean by a submarine alarm,
according to further information.
There was considerable cannon
aiding before it was discovered
that the "periscope" was only a
floating spar.
The French sent out a consid-
cradle convoy of hydroplanes and
dirigibles. Baker was visibly
impressed by the thoroness of
these precautions.
After landing, the secretary
of war returned the calls of
French military and naval chiefs
and walked about the town for 40
minutes before boarding a train
for Paris.
Arriving in Paris, Baker, ac-
companied- by Gen. Pershing, be-
gan a round of formal calls, con-
GLIDING with Ambassador Sharpe,
who will present him formally to
President Poincare.
Baker issued a statement in
which he declared his intention
Of visiting all the communication
lines of the army, after which he
could confer thoroly with Perish
ing. In order to support more
effectively the American and
allied armies.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Mar.
12.-Eight hundred thousand
men, the so-cal1ed .ssecOnd
draft" will be the national
quota to be fed into the mill
tary mill In small groups
from week to week or month
to month as needed, accord
ing to official announcement
today.
This vast number will be divid-
ed into state quotas and with GER
tain exceptions 1t will be drawn
from class / to make requirements
in existing units and to furnish
the needed supporting regiments
for the present army.
Ten thousand young men
skilled artisans-some of whom
may not be in class /, have been
asked Of the states already by
Provost Marshal Crowder, and
10000 other young men will be
summoned this summer to go to
technical training schools for spe-
cial fitting. culturists will
be given deferred rating.
No date Is set for the second
draft. The system precludes the
fixing of definite date, for the
plan is to feed in the men as
the occasion requires. The sit
uation depends upon a number of
elements.
Fill Up Gaps.
Emptying of camp will allow
OF a call for an increment of the
100000 to that camp. Special
need for replacement troops in n
certain division VIII demand call
for another cantonment. The
groups thus fed will be compare
lively small, covering probably the
entire year 1918.
The call will be in part depend
ent on pending legislation in con-
gress. AS now arranged, the
draft is considered by General
Crowder as "selective" and as
working the least possible disrup-
tion to industry and agriculture.

today in part says: The state OF
