For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zcmo, which generally orcrcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies rashcs, blackheads in most cases
give way TO zemo. Frequently, minor
'blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean. easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle. Sl.Q0. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender. sensitive skins. -

GIVES REASONS FUR
 UNION WITH GERMANY

VIENNA, Thursday, Nov. 26.-(By the Associated Press1-Dr. Otto Bauer,- secretary of state today converseu with the correspondent on the subject of a union of the Austrian republics and the federation of German re- publics.
 Tt would appear" said Dr. Bauer, ito be our only means to preserve to us any political and commercial pros perity, and to prevent our being en- croached upon by the larger states nearby. It must be admitted the Ger mans are a wonderful business people and also that they have coal and iror and also an outlet to the sea, facil ties which would become ours Alst their language and literature are the same as ours
 The secretary of state added that the hostility of the Czechs and Hun garians toward the Austrians. and the repOrts that efforts would b. made by the Czechs, even to take part of Ger man speaking Austria, made a unou of the German states necessary for lf-preservation. He said there was another proposal to create along the Danube, new republics
 It was evident to observers hero 1 Dr. Bauer continued that the peace | conference must aid in the settling O | the difficulties of the new republics and lead them toward prosperity He | said he and other members of the l government had been rather relieved 1 to learn that there would be a mission 1 sent by the allies to help in the ad iustmonf of boundary disputes to tht
 satisfaction of all concerned, and wit | the chef object of preventing new
 wars.
 As the Czechs have a strong army
 Dr. Bauer continued, they are feared
 both in Austria and Hungary, whose
 war material was mostly abandoned
 on the Italian front, or else seized during the retreat. The Jugo- Slavs however were Hungarians, the sec
 retary of state concluded and he fel
 that they would resist the efforts 0
 the Czechs to take Presburg and othe 1 points claimed by them.

SICK ATTENDED IN BEST IF MANVERAT
 FRENCH HOSPITALS

HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMER ICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES IN FRANCE, Nov. 26.-(By the Associa- ted Press)-Reports by the medical de- partment show that the homeWard movement of convalescent sick and wounded American soldiers is progress ing rapidly and satisfactorily, and when it is at full tide it probably will aggre- gate several thousand men daily.
 This will soon remove from France all Americans in hospitals, able to tra- vel For those who are forced to re- main there will be surplus of accom- modations.
 There are today in France nearly 300,000 beds. Many of the American hospitals are in the most pleasant DOT tions of France. The base hospitals are organized to perform any variety of medical or surgical work, the he osri- tai centers being divided into groups, each hospital devoted to specific classes of injuries or diseases.
 The total number of nurses on duty for the American expeditionary fc-ces exceeds $500. There are nearly 13,0GO doctors in attendance.
 When the armistice was declared there was in process of construction fo1 an expected lengthy campaign over 425,000 beds for hospitals. The work on these has been suspended.

POLICE PREVENT \
 CLASH WITH REDS

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-To prevent a recurrence of the clash between social ists and soldiers and sailors which fol- lowed the meeting in Madison Square garden last night, police reserves were hurried tonight to a hall in East 5Sth street in which internationalists had gathered to denounce capitalism.
 Several hundred men in uniform gathered outside the hall. They rough ly handled one young woman carrying miniature red flag in her hair while taking it from her.
 After the meeting started the sol diers and sailors demanded tntra nee but were held back by the police. Rep rosentatives who entered the hall singly came back and assured the men out
 side that the red flag was not being displayed and that no disloyal utter ances had been made
 There was but enc disturbance in the hall during the evening. This was when soldier and several citizens re moved a red necktie from a man standing at the rear.
 l The police lined the streets for 8 | block in both directions to protect the | internationalists when the meeting 1 ended. Women with red flowers or red ribbons on their hats were ad- | dressed roughly by the uniformed men
 who demanded the offending color be | removed No attacks were made or
 women, but several men were chased by sailors and few were beaten.

LONDON SPARES AT
 AMERICAN PRINCESS

LONDON, Nov. 19 Correspondence of the A. P.)-The Princess Tsianina, a real American Indian princess, has arrived in London, and all the little boys in the neighborhood of her hotel are tremendously excited. They form an awe-gripped retinue for her, when ever she takes a walk, following at a respectful distance with worshipful eyes. They have found out that she is a daughter of a Cherokee mother and that her father is a member of the Muskogee tribe. Being more familiar, as are their American cousins, with wilG. west stories than with their geog- raphies, their imaginations are fired by the princess buffalo robe, her moc- casins of cherry colored skins, her necklace of buffalo bone, which was presented to her by Indians, as a token of affection, and her fillet of Indian headwork. Far from resenting this youthful homage, the princess seems to enjoy it thoroughly.
 Her mission in Europe is to sing Indian songs to Indian troops, of whom there are about 2o,000 in France, rang ing from privates to majors.
 Brought up by white people, the pos- | sessor of a file voice which has been well trained, Princess Tsianina is re- garded by the British press as an in. | teresting product of the twentieth century America.
 The princess deprecates wild wes | shows and wild west movies, whicf | she says have given Europeans an en. | tlrely wrong idea of her people.

.FOOD SPECULATION
 STARVE THE POOR

VIENNA, Thursday, Nov. 21.-By The Associated Press)-The food situ- ation is still a general topic of conver- sation. It is evident there is plenty of food In the hotels and restaurants, for these persons who are able to pay the equivalent of from two to five dollars for eaca meal. The people have been unable to obtain rice or macaroni. That this class of the population is still alive. is due simply to their endurance.
 According to pr. Walter Otis. an American. food conditions were never as bad as now, both in Vienna and the country districts. On the farms. there still are a certain number of hogs which are being fattened with milk. This milk, Dr. Otis said was really needed for the sick, but the farmers earned more money by feeding 1t to their hogs. He added the milk supply would cease as soon as the coldest weather sets in, in the middle of De- cember.
 John Arthur Wess. another Ameri- can. says there is possibly enough food for another two months.
 Speculation in food during the war has been one of the chief causes of the poor suffering. It is said that Arch duke Frederick, uncle of the former emperor. speculated in the milk pro- duction on his large farm near Vienna He now is fugitive and his palace in the Albrecht DlatZ is closed.

VINDICTIVE CAPTAIN
 ARRIVES IN AMERICA
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Captain Fred B. Carpenter, of the Royal navy, leader of the daring naval raid last April. in which the German submarine base at Zeebrugge, Belgium. was bottled up by sinking vessels in the channel, arrived here today on the British steamship Balmoral Castle. He has been detailed tp this country on a special mission by the British government.
 The casualties among the crew of Che Nindictive, Captain Carpenters cruiser, in the Zeebrugge attack. were 900 dead and wounded, the captain said today. The losses were suffered while thc men were rushing German bat teries on the mole.
 As an interesting sidelight on the spirit animating the British sailors, the captain stated that the three block ships, chosen for sinking in the channel, were supposed to have "skele- ton crews of only 50 men each, but that after these crews were picked, other men hid themselves on board in order to get into the action. Thus one of the skeleton crews" he said, was later found to number S7 men. The Nindictive herself carried a crew of 1000, and out of the 400 killed and wounded, all but twelve were carried back on board by their comrades.
 For his services in the Zeebrugge at tack, in which he was wounded, he was promoted to a captaincy. He has been decorated with the Victoria Cross. tho French Cross de Guerre, with palu.5, and other medals for heroism.
