Let Him Live.


AS long as flowers their perfume
give,
So long I'd let the kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With'nothing to drink but Bel
gian tears,
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the salted brine of a Scotch
mans curse.
| would let him live on a dinner
each day,
Served from silver on a golden
tray
Served with things both dainty
and sweet
Served with everything but
things to eat.
And I'd make him a bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets
of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to its comfort he would
yield,
1t would stink with rot of the
battlefield.
And blood and bones and brains
of men
Should cover him, smother him
and then
His pillows should cling with the
rotten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier
boy.
And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
And while the waves the white
sands sweep,
He should never, never, never
sleep.
And through all the days, through
all the years,
There should be an anthem in hi:
ears,
Ringing and singing and never
done
From the edge of light to the Sc
of sun,
Moaning and moaning, and moan
ing wild
A ravaged French girls bastart
child!
And | would build him a castl
by the sea,
AS fine a castle as ever could be
, Then I'd show him a ship from
over the sea,
AS fine a ship as ever could be

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Tty orandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
so cents. Everybody uses this preparaa.
ton now, because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair. as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beauti-
fully dark. thick and glossy and you!
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

able as those captured during the
past week by the allies. Directly
behind this front are railroads which
are vital to the enemy forces fight
ing further south.
Near Rheims General Bertheloten's s
army has made new progress and the
time seems not far distant when the
cathedral city will be freed from
German artillery fire for the first
time since 1914. This advance by
the French has a close relation to
that of the British around St. Quen-
tin as we'll as on operations further
east in Champagne. There are some
military experts who believe that
this drive is of greater strategical
value than any other now going on
in France.

there on Tuesday. 1t suggests that

there on Tuesday. 1t suggests that
perhaps military operations may be
begun along the northern Albanian
coast in the rear of the retreating
Austrians and the situation holds
large possibilities. Durazzo is with
in one hundred miles Of Brindisi, the
Italian rival base and is within easy
striking distance Of Corfu, from which
are directed the operations of the
allied fleet in the Mediterranean.
Lille Is Uncovered
German armies which have been
holding the front along the sector
from Lens to Armentieres are in re-
treat and with the British in close
pursuit, are hurriedly abandoning the
region south of the Lys river where
they were in danger of development.
This retreat seems to have uncover
ed the important city of Lille and
will probably make imperative with
drawal all the way down the line in
front of Arras.
North of the wedge driven into the
German lines by the Anglo Belgian
drive there are no indications of a
retirement as yet, although military
critics believe that the Germans
hold on Ostend will be short lived
now that Roulers is virtually in the
hands of the allies.
Smashing against the German line
east of St. Quentin, Field Marshal
Haig's army plunged through the
last line of the formidable Hinden-
burg system yesterday. This as
sault seems to have been a tlow
struck at vital spot in the enemy's
defense and its success is attended
by the progress made during the day.
Terrific efforts made by the Germans
to halt the progress of the British
were fruitless and it is reported that
British cavalry and tanks have reach
ed the open country back of the
enemy's front.
May Shake Whole Line
Further successes at this point
would seem to shake the whole Ger
man line from Douai to Rheims. The
enemy, so far as known, has no 9TH
er positions in that region as formid-

naval base at Durazzo, Albania. This
sensational exploit, which was car
ried out on Wednesday, seems to
have reduced the Austrians to one
large naval center in the Adriatic,
that Of Pola, although the port OF
Fiume may be used for this purpose.
The attack, coming at time when
the Austrians in Southern Albania
are in dire straits after losing their
support lines eastward through
Macedonia, appears to be significant.

Monday, October 7, 1918

Outfought by the French and AM
ericans, the Germans are retreating
on wide front in the Champagne
sector between Rheims and the Ar
gonne forest. The enemy has been
caught between General Berthelot' s
army on the west and General Gour-
aud's forces on the east and is re-
tiring northward toward the Retourne
river.
1t may be possible for him to stand
back of that stream but it seems i'm
probable that there will be much of
halt in the retreat until the Ger
mans reach the Aisne. General Ber-
thelot's advance in the Rheims region
has gravely menaced the enemy
forces south of the Retourne and, al
though the retrograde movement is
being covered by rear guards, we'll
supplied with machine guns, it ap-
pears to be going on rapidly. The
French seem to have reached the
Suippe over wide front.
American forces have been battl
ing brilliantly with Gouraud's army
and have aided materially in expell
ing the enemy from the Champagne
sector and further east, the Ameri-
cans, fighting between the Argonne
forest and the Meuse river are slow
ly clearing the Germans from the
area before the Kreimhild line and
gathering their forces for an assault
on that powerful position.

A Horrible Experience.

Howard Painter was frightfully
burned about the face last Friday
while at work in water tank
thawing out the frozen pipe. The
accident happened on the Ted Lam
mers place east of Elma. Howard
had gone into the storage tank by
means of a ladder and was using a
gasoline blow torch to thaw out the
pipe. The torch exploded, throw
ing burning gasoline over Mr.. Pan
tiers hands and face. He made an
attempt to escape but the ladder
fell back and he dropped into the
fire. Thinking his time had come,
Howard made one more effort to
escape from the inferno of fame.
With a supreme effort he gained
the top of the tank and jumped
nineteen feet to the frozen ground.
He then rolled around in the snow
to eXtinguish the flames, and walk
ed to the house unassisted. His
face is burned and it will be some
time before it will be completely
healed.-Elma New Era.

SMOKLESS DAY
FOR IOWA NOW
Planned to Push the Movement Over
the State Through Efforts of
the WOmen'S Clubs.
THE MONEY SAVED
TO GO TO SOLDIER BOYS
There Will be No Soliciting. No
One Personally Asked to Give.
The Contributions Will be
Purely Voluntarily.

The smokeless Thursday plan has
become statewide movement. Mrs.
j. A. Carver, originator of the cam
paign in Des Moines, filed articles
of incorporation for an Iowa Smoke
less Day association last week with
the secretary of state.
1t is planned to push the move
melt over the state through the
efforts of the women's clubs.
IF our plans materialize," de-
clared Mrs. Carver, leach county
in Iowa will yield not less than $50
a week, the money to go into a
fund for the boys at Demilg and
the soldiers fighting in France"
The statewide movement was in
augurated because of the splendid
success which crowned the efforts
of the originators of the plan here
in Des Moines.
The following letter was sent out
last night to a women's club in
every county seat in Iowa:
This association has been in
corporated and is proceeding with
the organization of the state for the
collection of funds to be used for
Iowa boys in the army, either in
the training camps or in France.
Il am sure that the mothers,
wives, sisters and friends of our
Iowa boys will want to help in this
good work.
1.-THE association hopes that you
can see your way clear to act as
chairman for your county to organ
ize the necessary committees to put
the plan into effect at once.
There will be no soliciting; no
one is to be personally asked to
give. The contributions will be
purely voluntary. Banks, with ap-
propriate cards, will be placed in
hotels, cigar stores, drug stores and
other public places.
Your newspaper will help you
get the plan before the public.
Your proper committees will look
after the distribution of the banks,
the collection of the money AID the
forwarding of same to the state
headquarters in Des Moines for dis
tribution to the Iowa boys in the
army at such times and for such
emergency purposes as are not
covered by government or other
agencies.
Please advise me that you will
serve as county shairman a1d send
me a list Of your committees
