we permitted the other atrocities and
outrages against humanity without
stirring. The great bulk of the
American people have yet to realize
what this war means. M
No International Sense
eve do not as yet have an inter
national sense. Our people, and even
our statesmen do not understand
world problems. How many Ameri-
cans understand that unless we re-
store Serbia, exactly as she was be-
fore the war, that we have lost this
war? Our attitude is like that of
big boy who intends to go up against
professional prizefighter. He has
false confidence in his own ability
and so does not attempt to train and
harden his muscles, but goes about
secretly hoping or thinking his adj
versary will die of heart disease be-
fore the fight comes off, This has
been the viewpoint of many Ameri-
cans. But there is only one way out,
and that is to purchase liberty at the
price of blood shed.
Realized Crisis Was Coming
"a year ago we realized that this
crisis was coming. We realized our
welfare was at stake and yet we
failed to make adequate provisions
for helping those men who were to
fight and die for u.s..
"It is imperative that we supply
food to the allies. Why did Russia
quit? During her three years she
met with success and also great re-
verses. In one campaign she lost as
many men as the United States now
has in Europe. Yet she did not quit
Russia collapsed when she began to
starve. When there was no bread the
people revofted. And bear in mind,
that it makes no difference whether
it is in Russia, Italy, France or Eng
land, when the food gives out the peo-
pie quit. The problem now is, are
we to allow our allies to collapse?
We will unless we deliver the food
they need over there. The burden is
on US.
We Are Money Grabbers
eve are greedy nation. Dollars
has thus far been the cry. 1t has
spread thru the fibre of our people
when the medium of exchange is the
blood of our soldiers. We have sent
our boys across the water to fight for
is but we have forgotten to put our +;
'esources behind them.
"The next six months is critical. :
What we do in that time decides '

Within ten minutes after an appl1-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use. when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty Of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy. just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz.
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that 1t has been neglected or injur-
ed by careless treatment-that's all
you surely can have beautiful hair and
lots OF 1t If you will just try a little
Danderine.

Especial to The Gate City1
BONAPARTE, Iowa, Feb. 27.-Wm.
Stemple narrowly escaped death here
yesterday when he fell from the Sec
ond story Of the old Meek wooden mill
building. The machinery used in the
old mill had been sold and parts Of
the old carding machines were sold
for junk and Mr.. Stemple was taking
the wooden frames out OF the buid-
ing. He was throwing them out Of
the double door on the second floor
which was in the carding room. Some
bolts that were In the frame caught
In his clothing and jerked him out Of
the door and he fell among some Of
the frames that were on the ground
below and about fifteen feet away
from the building. A lady who saw
him fall. called help and he was pick
ed up limp and unconscious and was
thought to be dead. He was taken to
his home which Is on the hill across
the river Just south of here and revtv-
ed enough on the way home to be able
with little assistance to walk into
the house. Physicians were immed-
lately called and his wounds were
dressed and at last reports re was rest
ing as well as possible after his fall,
which happened about noon. Mr..
Stemple was Waterman at the wooden
mill building for some time. but dur
ing the past few months while the ma
chinery was being taken out. he was
in charge of the property and looked
after the place.
His many friends here hope that
he will soon be able to be out again.
His son Clyde Stemple and his daugh
ter. Mrs. John A. Brown, who live in
Fl. Madison were notified of the &C
cident and came last evening on the
six o'clock train.

REPS NEED
MORE SIGNERS
Harding Votes Last Time Make II
Necessary to Have Ninety
Nine on Peti-
tlons.

Lee county has long been regarded
as democratic county in politics,
but this year, all members Of the re-
publican party will be forced to Sc
cure more signers for petitions for
candidacy to office than those Of the
opposing party. This is due to the
law that bases the number of sign
ers needed on the number Of votes
cast for the heads of the ticket at
the last general election. 1t upsets
a rule of many years duration in this
county.
AS the heads Of the ticket at the
last general election were Harding
and Meredith for the governorship
and as Harding, republican, carried
the county by large majority. the
difference in the signers needed on
the petition Is created.
Under the law, ninety-nine sfgners
are needed to make the republican
petition legal, while but sixty-nine
are needed to legalize the democratic
petitions.
Interest in the primary election to
be held June 9, IS becoming mani
fest in the county. State officers
must file their petitions forty days
before election, county officers must
file thirty days before election and
township candidates must file affida-
Wits fifteen days before the date Of
election. The last two divisions of
candidates must file with the county
auditor The former file with the
secretary of state.

ASK FOR
REHEARING
Dismissed Army Man Says Charges
Against Him were Made
by Maniac and
Murderer.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. Feb. 2s.-
Alleging prejudice and that the man
who preferred charges against him
was a maniac, a murderer and sui
eide, DR.. John G. Dwyer, recently
courtmartialed and ordered dismissed
from the army, has asked for re-
hearing.
DR.. Dwyer has been practictng
physician at Cullom. a small town
| east of Bloomington, and his reputa-
ton there has been of the best. He
responded to the call for physicians
| last August and was first assigned to
Fort Riley. For the past five months,
however, he was on duty at Camp
Funston.
On October II, according to his
story, a private came to him com
planning he was i'll. DR.. Dwyer de-
clared he examined the man, but
could find nothing wrong with him.
However, he gave him the benefit OF
the doubt and turned him over to
two assistant physicians for further
examination. The assistants found
nothing wrong with the man and
sent him back to his quarters. After
spending thirty-six hours In his quar-
tiers the private's captain ordered
him to the hospital where he died
several days later.
The charges were preferred against
DR.. Dwyer by Captain Whistler. who
robbed the bank at the camp Of S62,-
900, killed four men with an axe and
then ended his life. DR.. Dwyer in
sists Whistler misrepresented the
facts and was overjoyed when Sec
rotary Of War Baker told the senate
investigating committee that the case
would be given a rehearing. Dwyer
insists that rehearing Will bring
out the true facts and clear his name.
Bakers statement before the senate
committee was that the courtmartial
had not made the punishment of
Dryer severe enough and that the
rehearing would be held to make 1t
more severe. Dwyer declares, how
ever, that instead of finding a more
severe punishment the rehearing will
develop the real facts and viii end
with his complete exoneration.
Following the courtmartial Dwyer
was dismissed from the war service
