Shortly after Wilson had pointed the
way to peace in Europe in one of his
notes to all the belligerent powers the
kaiser called to see me professionally
and we discussed that latest phase of
the situation.

will give up her armament, it seems,

and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few

new hair-growing all over the scalp.
