port characterized the corn market
throughout the session. y majority

that both the military outlook and

TALKS OF THEEV|[ T
! OF: MILITARY RULE
DR.. MuehIon Tells What
Would Result From German
! Dominance of Europe.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
GUMLIGEN, Switzerland. July as
One of the most interesting charac-
ters in Switzerland today is DIR. Will
helm Muehlon, whose recent revela-
tions of German political and diplo-
matte secrets Of the days before the
war-at a time when he was in con-
fidential touch with the high councils
of the imperial German government
led to official surveillance over his
movements and. finally. to his expul-
sion from his native land.
Dr. Muehlon takes a gloomy view OF
what would become of Europe If Ger
many secured the ascendance w lth
Germany sovereign over Europe. he
SAYS, there would be a general scat
tering and flight of European races
and population to get away from Ger
man rule. The remotest corners OF
Europe would become asylums of
forces would occur. And with Ger
many paramount in Europe there
would be real migration to the over
seas countries.
Disclosures Create Sensation.
His disclosures, which have created
sensations in entente capitals. have
been regarded in many quarters as
faithful interpretations OF events
which contributed to the outbreak of
the war and as conclusive proof that
the German emperorS machipations
were responsible TOR the world con-
flict. They led to German govern
ment statement in the reichStaS that
he was not pathologically responsible,
and today he lives the life of a retired
farmer on the outskirts of a small
Swiss village. Once he was director
of the great krupp war establish
ment-a position he took at the re-
quest of the German foreign office
and conspicuous figure in civil and
official circles.
DIR. Muehlon was asked today how
he could be an opponent of militarism
and war, particularly the present
struggle. and at the same time be a
director of krupps. the greatest war
machine in the world.
That appears to be inconsistent"
he said, but the explanation is SIM
pie l have always been opposed to
war and even to large combinations
like kruppS, as my inclinationS were
toward the welfare and equality of
the people and the adjustment of diff
ferences by reason instead of by force.
But it was felt desirable to have on
the krupp directorate various shades
of opinion. even though not in strict
accordance with the war activities of
the establishment, SO that all views
could be expressed and SOM thing like
common agreement obtained on the
many vexinS problems presented. To
that end l came into the organization,
at first in a subordinate position and
later in the directorate. 1t was stipu-
lated. however, that my activities
should be mainly devoted to the
branch not engaged in war work. for
kruppS has two branches of about
equal size, one devoted to war WORK
and the other to work unconneU1ed
with war. Insensibly. however. Iny
work in one branch drew me into the
other, as my experience in interma>
tional affairs led to my being ocD-
suited on war arrangements having
any international bearing, such as the
armament of Turkey"

Center OF DISTRICT
Pan-American Building About
in Middle of Original
Square Area.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
l was much interested to read on
page 10 of your magazine section of
The Sunday Star of July % an article
entitled 'The Center of the District"
1t seems to me. however. that 1t
would be matter of interest for the
writer of the article himself to make
some further investigation He seems
to have jumped at conclusion.
There Is nothing in the inscription
he refers to, or in the quotation he
makes from the report of the chief OF
engineers in 1898. or in the quotation
from the statement of Robert Mills.
the architec. OF the Washington Monu-
ment, on which he could base the
statement that the stone he mentions
as 3l5 feet west and rs feet north Of
the middle of the Monument is at the
center of the District as originally
laid out.
DIR. Tindall's Testimony.

curate document entitled Origin and
Government of the District of Column

dali is always pains.aking and careful
in the preparation of everything he
writes On page of the document
mentioned, you will find the following
paragraph:
THE center of the District, as orig
inaliy established. was in longitude

but. as IA consequence of the retroces-
sion to Virginia of the portion of the
District derived from that state. the
original center point is now nearly on
the southwestern border although 1t
is still approximately midway between
the eastern and western extremes. 1t
is 1905 feet north and 1879 feet weTt

How to wash woolens so they
will not shrink

Woolen fabrics differ wholly from any other fabric
IN WOOL the surface of each fiber is made up of scales
overlapping like tiny fish scales.
Ordinarily, when wet these fibers expand but the
moment alkali III water comes in contact with wool
fiber these little scales interock the fiber draws up
and the fabric has matted and shrunk.
The sensitveness of wool fiber to akal and to rub
bing are the causes of shrinkage.
In the choice of your soap product and in the way
you handle woolens lies the secret of safety of com
pete success in laundering woolens.
Ltr actually a0on't shrink a0ooJems. 1t contains no
free akal; its thick hot ather dssolves dirt without
rubbing; its wonderfully pure, mild fakes leave
woolens soft and feecy, just as they when new
many other products have claimed that they
won t shrink wooens, and you may have had SO many
woolen garments shrink until they were no longer

Why you need these wonderful flakes for
all fine laundering

Lux is made in flake form because in these
tiny fakes is condensed more real cleansing
value than is possible in any other form of soap.
Lux needs only to be used in small quantities
owing to its absolute purity and wonderful
richness
This is due to the fact that in fake form, Lux
can be kept pure and concentrated; in this form,

speedy production of an excellent lather.
1t is the modern form of soap-no shaving
or chipping required. 1t makes an instant
lather which dissolves dirt W5tIaout rubbing.
In fine laundering soap should never be rubbed
directly on the article. Lux is such an advance
over all other forms of soap that once you have
tried Lux, you will never again be satisfied
with anything else for fine laundering.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1918-03-06

there is no need for any air, any moisture, or
any kind of filler" which has no cleansing
value. Lu1 aViU not harm anything that pure

These flakes melt the moment you throw
them into hot water. They are 50 completely

left in the garment to yellow it.

Why silks turn yellow

Authorities on silk say that the action of dIkah on
silk makes it acquire yellow color which cannot be
washed out. Also that when alkal is combined with
hot water, it affects the silk fbers, breaking them
down very easily. Lux contains no free akali and
gives remarkable lather when used in moderately
warm water. You can wash silk with Lux over and

FATE OF THE SHORT JACKET
Doubt Is Expressed Whether the One.
Time Popular Garment viii Re.
tain Its Past Favor.

II Is q question as to whether the
short Jacket will remain ut the pin
nacle Of fashion. but nevertheless
woman who wants to be In the picture
will risk a chance on II and VIII find
that II Is not an easy garment to
achieve through alteration, says New
York fashion correspondent.
There is another type OF coat, which
appeared In America year ago In a
modified form, and upon which the
French place high valuation. Il Is
Usually called the buttonless jacket. II
is crossed In the front in surplice form,
and these fronts extend into long ends
that 20 across the peplum of the jacket
NJ the back, are loosely knotted, and
lhen dropped.
There is a short jacket which has
aiken the long one as Its inspiration
but It will have nothing to do with the
pcplum. II Is fashioned nfter the
sweaters that were worn this winter.
II reaches to the waistline. and the
fronts, crossing below the bust make
soft girdle and Japanese bow at
the back.
The Eton jacket, the boesro, the hell
boy jacket and the Dagohert corslet
are In high fashion, but they are gar
ments that demand to be bought oday
from tailor or n shop. They cannot
be evolved with any degree Of success
from something that was good In other

WHAT THE WISE GIRLS WANT
Perfect Health, Good Features and a
Clean skin Leave Very Little
TO Worry About.

II Is the rare girl who hasn't some
thing about herself that she doesn't
like. Perhaps this Is RS well, since
youth Is Inclined to be self-centered
and egntl tlstical. Which sounds Ike a
paradox, but what Is youth but para
dox?
II young girl Is In perfect health,
and can boast good features and a
clean skin. she has nothing to worry
about, so far as looks are concerned.
That her eyes are brown instead of
blue, or her face ls round instead of
oval. and something else is one way
instead Of another, are matters not to
worry over. There ARE Just ms many
people who like brown eyes as there
are those who like blue. and vice
versa.
What every girl should be concerned
about first of all is her disposition. l.
she sweet? Is she agreeahlei Is she
thoughtful and helpful? These are the
really big things in girls life as well
as In the life Of everyone else, Second,
she should be careful about her health
often from the state Of her health
comes her disposition. A bad stomach
win make a sour temper. Bad stom.
achs are often caused. In girls. from
unwlse eating. and TOO little outdoor
exercise. Candies, pickles. white

make to say that the footgear most
In favor among smartly dressed wom-

those of white kid. The kid Is very
heavy and the pump Is made with a
substantial sole and a milltary---not
very high--heel. The vamp is long and
