HUNS LOSE NJ TIME
 GETTING BACK HOME

AMERICAN ARMIES ON THE MEUSE AND MOSELLE, Nov. 1s. - So far as known at the American head quarters, no disposition has been dis played to block at any point that part of the armistice agreement providing for the withdrawal of the German troops. It is realized that the reversing of the gears of the great broken Ger man machine will not be simple.
 There would have been no surprise among the American officers had the German front remained almost un changed, but already there appears to have been left immediately in front of the Americans little more than a fringe If soldiers. In some places even that line has been withdrawn so far that army men on this side do not know its location
 The Germans reluctantly abandoned their efforts to continue fraternization where the lines still were in proximity, but threats to hold as prisoners any one approaching the American lines practically stopped their visits.
 Behind the American line the activity of the supply trains continued today and the troops mobilized at the front settled down to routine duty. There was an increasing number of leaves of absence, however, and the towns in the rear, where troops are stationed, were gayer than at any time since the begin ming of the war. The celebration that began Monday night gathered momen- trrm instead of showing signs of abate- ment

BIG TREASURE HUNT
 ON AFTER THE WAR
(From Answers)

Some of the greatest hidden treasure hunts ever known will begin when peace is declared. Then attempts will be made to retrieve the precious car goes of the hundreds of ships that have been sent to the bottom through sea warfare
 According to Lord Beresford, since the war began more than 2300 British, allied and neutral ships have been sunk. This represents tonnage of consider ably more than 100000.
 Of course, a great deal of the cargo of some of these ships was perishable and of comparatively trifling value, but many were almost priceless ar gosies.
 Gold and precious stones and rare pottery and fabrics from India more gold and precious stones from South Africa; still more gold, silver and dia- monds, copper and lead from South America; silks and velvets from China; and nearer home, quicksilver. copper silk and oils from Spain. Much Of this treasure, which was contin- uously pouring on to the shores of Britain in the early days of the war is now lying in hundreds of shattered hulks in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Mediterranean and the Indian ocean.
 
 property from the sea-''treasure trove" -is very obscure and difficult to inter pret. With regard to vessels wrecked near the coast, whose cargoes may be washed ashore, there is. as a rule, no ] difficulty about establishing the own ership of the vessel. and they are en- titled to recover their property after all salvage rights have been satisfied.
 But with regard to wrecks on the high seas a very difficult problem will confront the nation when peace comes. l especially when it is remembered that thousands of vessels have gone to the bottom, and in many cases there are no records of where they were lost | But what is to prevent many adven- turous spirits with money from equip ping treasure hunting expeditions after the war? Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson never wrote of such riches as now lie buried in the bosom of the ocean.
 And what princely days they will be ! for diversl Of late years experienced divers have been able to earn from s25 to $500 week while engaged on big and risky commission.
 But after the war divers ought to be able to make large fortunes and easily eclipse any previous records. 1 Probably the vast majority Of the wrecks will be beyond their reach-in l fathomless deeps. But others that lie near the coasts, not great many fath- oms down. will offer a strong tempta- tion.
 The record depth reached by divers in modern times was achieved by two British naval officers, who got down to 210 feet, where the pressure was 90 pounds to the square inch-a terrific weight to bear.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL TRY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD FAV- . oRiTE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA HE AND SULPHUR

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

 "Maricopa county has the splendid habit of doing it's full duty and, while the influenza has laid up many of our workers, the spirit of real soldiers is carrying forward to fill up the ranks. Many of the most generous contribu- tions are coming from the day laborers and people of limited means, who are giving with a spirit of unselfishness that sets fine example to their more fortunate neighbors.
 If the people whose resources en- able them to give until it really feels good, and also join the ranks of the workers in raising other gifts, do their utmost, we can put Maricopa county with the class where it belongs"

JUSTICE AND MERCY
 WILL TEMPER ALL
 PEACE CONFERENCES

LONDON, Nov. 13.-(British wire less service) Zone of the principal issues at the forthcoming general cleo tion will be the nature of the peace settlement. It will mean the settle ment of tE4 world"
 Premier Lloyd George made this an nouncement in an address to his lib eral supporters on November II.
 What are the principles on which that settlement is to be effected?' he asked Are we to lapse back into the old national rivalries, animosities and competitive arguments, or are we to initiate the reign on earth of the prince of peace? It is the duty of lib- eralism to use it's influence to ensure that it shall be a reign of peace.
 What are conditions of peace? They must lead to a settlement which will be fundamentally just, No settlement that contravenes the principles of eternal justice will be permanent one. The peace of 1871 imposed by Germany on France outraged all the principles of justice and fair play. Let us be warned by that example.
 We must not allow any sense of re- venge, any spirit of greed, any grasp ing desire to override the fundamental
 
 attempts will be made to hector and bull the government in an endeavor to make them depart from the strict principles of right and to satisfy some base, sordid, squalid ideas of ven- geance and of avarice. We must re- lentlessly set our faces against that Mandate For Just Peace. The mandate of this government at the forthcoming election will mean that the British delegation to the peace congress will be in favor of a just peace
 | Discussing the question of league of nations, the premier said that such a league was more necessary now than ever. He pointed out that the condi- tions which prevailed in the Balkans before the war were now affecting 1 practically two thirds of Europe. "A large number of small nations have been reborn in Europe" he con- tinued, and these will require a league of nations to protect them against the coveteousness of ambitious and grasp | ing neighbors. In my judgment a league of nations is absolutely essen i tial to permanent peace
 We shall go to the peace conference to guarantee that league of nations l is a reality. I am one of those who | believe that without peace we cannot 1 have progress. A league of nations | guarantees peace and guarantees also an all around reduction of armaments and that reduction of armaments is a guarantee that you can get rid oi | conscription here.
 1 "Of course, we must have in this country an efficient army to police the empire but I am looking forward to a condition of things, with the existence l of league of nations, under which conscription will not be necessary in any country"

 The British press printed an account of the war ships sinking. about two months later but the government with held confirmation.
