CroUn Prince Willie
 Writes Unique Letter toHs PapainGer7aany

E. l.. Pauley, special agent of the
 Standard oil company, has sent to The Age Herald copy of a unique letter from Grown Prince Willie to his papa,
 which appeared in Che Los Angeles Times July 20, but is highly appropriate even at this date. The letter is as follows:
 'On the Run, Somewhere in France, Everywhere in France, All the Time Dear Papa: 1 am writing on the run as der brave and glorious soldiers under my command have not seen der Rhine for so long dat dey' have started back that way, and of course I am going init dem
 "Oh, papa, dere has been some offei dings happened here in France. First, I started in my big offensive, which was to crush de fool Americans. but they know so little about military tactics dat dey will not be crushed just like want em. l sent my men in der fight in big waves, and ven dey got to de Americans dey all said 'Boo,' as loud as they could holler. Yell, according to vat you have always told me- de Amer leans have turned and run like bla2es, But vat you tink? Dem fool Americans don't know anything about war, and in- stead of running de odder way, dey came right toward us. Some of dem vas sing ing about We won't come back till it's over, over dere,' or some odder foolish song, and some of dem were laffing like fools. Dey are so ignorant.
 But dey are offel reckless init der guns, and ven dey come toward us it vas den my men took a notion dey wanted to go back to de dear old Rhine We don't like de little dirty Marne river anyhow. And, oh, papa, dem Americans use such offel language. Dey know nothing of kultur and say such offel dings right be- fore us. And dey talk blasphemy, too. Vat you tink day said right in front of my face? One big husky from place they call Missouri, he-said-oh, papa, l hate to tell you vat an offel ting he said but I can't deny it, he said. TO hell init der Kaiser!'
 Did you ever hear of any thing so of- fel? I didn't tink anybody would say such an offel ting. It made me so mad, wouldn't stand and hear such an offeI ting, so I turned around and run init de odder boys. Vas l right? Vat? And oh, papa, you know dem breastplates vot you sent us-can you send some to put on our backs? You know ve are going de odder way now, and breastplates are no good, for de cowardly Americans are shooting us right in der back.
 Some of our boys took off der breast plates and put 'em behind, but de fool Americans are playing De Star-Span- ged Banner, init machine guns on dem plates. Can't you help us? You remem- Der in your speech you said nothing could stand before the brave German soldiers? Oh papa, 1 don't believe desc ignorant Americans ever read your speech, TOT dey run after us like we vas lot of rab- bits. Vot you tink of dot? Can't you send some of your speeches right away?

Dey don't know how terrible ve are. Cant you move my army back to Bel gium were we von all our glory? My men can, vip all the vimmen and children vot dem Belgians can bring us. But desc Americans are so rough and ignorant.
 We can't make 'em understand that we are the greatest soldiers on earth. and ven ve try to sing Deutschland Ueper Alles,' dey laugh like lot of monKeys. But ve are getting de best of de Amer jeans. We can outrun dem, Papa, if Ve are not be best fighters on earth we are sure de best runners. Nobody can keep up init us when we tink of der dear old Rhine, and my army never did tink so much of dot dear old river Let me know right away vot to do by return postoffice.

Refugees in Palestine

Maj. Theodore Waters of the Ameri- can Red Cross in Palestine, writes to the Christian Herald this incident of a Ireiugee camp:
 A eonical tent, with the bottom turned up all around to make pockets for the meager belongings of the occupants; for furniture two or three strips of goat-haif sacking They gave me a piece doubled up pillow wise, doing their best to make their guest comfortable-thes women, who three years ago in their northern homes, would have placed me on cush- ioned divan, covered with snowwhite muslin and crochet work, and who would have brought me coffee and sweets made by their own housewifely hands One of them showed me- the dress she was wearing.

Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, we'll known beauty specialist of Kansas City re- gently gave out the following state- ment regarding gray hair:
 Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, small box of Barbo Compound and II ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice week until the desired shade Is ob- tained. This will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub .Nff"- Adv.

There's nothing more priceless to a German submarine than to come across a life boat, full of signaling human beings, far from shore.

''THE END OF THE WAR"

So much legislation has been en-
acted, both in this country and in
England and France, to be effective
for the duration of" or until the
end OF" the war, that there is gen
zine interest to know what those
phrases really mean.
To this end the British Parliament
recently appointed a committee to
inquire into the particular matter and
report and their findings have now
been published.
The committee agrees that the date
of the end of the war in relation to
the powers conferred by emergency
legislation should be held to be the
date when the treaty Of peace is final
ly binding On the respective belli-
gerent parties, namely, the date when
notifications of the treaty are ex-
changed or deposited This is based
on the assumption that the ~ar is
ended by a general treaty Of peace
between the United Kingdom and all
the powers with which it is at war
If however. the United Kingdom were
to make separate treaty of peace
with an individual enemy power, the
end of the war with that power
would be the date when the ratifica-
lions of the treaty were exchanged
or deposited, but that might have lit
tie Or no effect on existing emergen-
cy statutes.
In this country we have the food
and fuel regulations, both for the
period of the war, which have revolu
tionized the life and business of the
nation. Prohibition has become a
fact under the application of the food
administration rules-or soon will
be; our simple methods of doing bus
mess have been radically changed;
our legal processes have been some
what affected; contracts are held
allegiance, if members of the army or
navy establishment are involved;
hardly a phase of our routine life but
what has been acected in some way.
A general acceptance of the end
of the war" is that day when fight
ing ceases, but, as it has been decid-
ed in Great Britain, the end really
does not come, as a matter of fact,
until every provision of the peace
treaties become effective.
