"To He'll with the KAISER" the great
seven-act Screen Classics, Inc, pat
riotic production, is showing here at
the Lyric treatre. ITO He'll with the
Kaiser" is the most vital of all the
pictures dealing with the world war.
1t strips bare the vile soul of Wilhelm
Of Hohenzollern, and shows the plot
by which he and his "Potsdam gang"
hoped to get possession not only OF
Europe but Of America. ITO He'll with
the Kaiser" shows the final destina-
ton of this mad monarch, as well as
relating his cruel deeds on earth.
A great cast has been chosen to
interpret this magnificent picture,
which has been directed by George
Irving from the scenario by June

Senator Charles Jonnart, who
has-been appointed to a place in
the French cabinet as minister of
the liberated regions, has been
governor general of Algeria since
March of last year. NJ. Jonnart be-
gan his public career about 80
years ago as a member of the
chamber OF deputies. He was a
member of NJ. Casimir Perier's cab
met, which only survived for
short period, and in 1918 he became
minister for foreign affairs in the
BRAND cabinet 1t was in the early
summer of 1917, however, that Mr..
Jonnart stepped into the full glare
OF the European limelight. when he
was deputed by the French premier
to undertake the special mission to
to put a stop to the aid
which Greece was offering to the
central powers in the war. The
success of that mission is a matter
of history. Two days after NJ. JON
nart's arrival in Athens King Con-
stantine abdicated and was sue
ceeded by his second son, Alexan-
der. whose sympathies were known
to be on the side OF the entente al
lies.

Q. Which put the largest expedi-
tionary force in France, Great
Britain or the United States? I. G.
c.
A. At one time in 1917 the British
had slightly more than two million
men in France but this number Tell
below two million in 1918. The
United States had two million men
in France at the close Of the war.
So the British maximum force was
greater than the American max
imum force but the American force
was greater at the end than was the
British at the end.

Gilbert went to the farm. A

costing a model of perfect manly

There followed some mild badi-

Evidently the president has a card or two
yet to play in the Shantung game and he does
not care to show everybody just what he holds
The processes of diplomacy would be much
simplihed and facilitated in this case if Mr..
Wilson could take the American people COM
pIetely into his confidence without the certain
knowledge that to do so would be equivalent
to showing the other fellows his entire bag Of
tricks.
It's pretty hard TO throw your cards down
face up and compete with an antagonist who
conceals his hand. In fact, it isn't being at
tempted and never will be, no matter how firm
" the world may come to believe in publicity.
That would spoil the game and so long as
there is a drop of sporting blood in human
veins the game will be the thing that must and
shall be preserved
1t would be fearfuIly fat and stale world
if there were competition of wits or re-
sources. The public would SION lose interest
in international affairs should they be rele-
gated to routine basis so automatic that the
people themselves felt that they had nothing to
gain or lose through their own efforts or the
efforts of their official representatives.
1t would be much cheaper and more simple
if great nations simply went into the open mar
Of territorial acquisitions. Think of the saving
Of lives and of the billions>spent upon arma
ment! But with affairs between nations put
on a strictly cash basis the game would not be
worth the candle and national lines would cease
to mean anything.
Just now there are in this country a good
many so-called statesmen who would rather
see this country lose a trick than to have it
taken by any trump the president may play.
That is the reason for the determined efforts
to force him TO show his hand.
Probably Mr.. Wilson's notion is that it will
be much simpler and better from the stand
point of the United States to create the League
of Nations and let it attend to Japan's case
than to ourselves sail in and do the job with
out waiting for assistance. The logic of such
a position seems rather obvious, but there is
no political food in it for the opposition, and
hence the noise we are hearing.

Big concerns handling the food supplies of
the country claim to be having much difficulty
getting products transported from the farm and
garden to the markets. Railroads say they
lack sufficient rolling stock to handle the bust
ness. And yet those in position to know say
railroad yards all over this part Of the country
are full of new cars built by government order
but idle because the railroad companies will
not take them over at a price no higher than
the manufacturer would demand. If anyone
doubts that there are good many idle cars
let him take look about the yards OF the three
cities.

On the Company's Terms.

If the Tri-City Railway company puts over
the plan for the solving of its alleged financial
troubles that is now afoot the people in the
streets should take their hats of every time a
car passes.
Seven-cent fares and payment OF a scale of
So cents an hour to operatives means settle
ment on the cOmpanys own terms 1t is pos
sible that the company has been entirely frank
and honest in its representations, but few will
believe it. That has not been the custom OF
corporations and it is foolish to expect that it
ever will be. The company in this case prob
ably is not in as tight situation as it claims
to be- 1t is merely looking out for its own
interests-a practice which is human and there
fore not to be immoderately censured.
- If fares are increased 40 per cent obviously
there will be a margin of added profit if wages
are advanced something less than 40 per cent.
The Argus wishes to be fair and certainly it
would regret the creation OF a contingency
leading to the impairment of transportation
service. 1t believes, however, that the COM
pany, granted a 7-cent fare, could AFFORD to
pay more than a 55-cent scale to its men. 1t
believes that the latter have long been under
paid and that a higher scale could be given
even with 5-cent fares without confscating the
property Of the corporation.

to put over whatever reservations the leaders

A Baby Poorly Nourished.
Our baby is IA months old. Until
he was months old he was very
fat, but he isn't SO fat now. He
can't sit up. He perspires a great
deal and seems to be distressed
with gas all the time. He is very
constipated. We have tried almost
every kind of food friends have
recommended, but nothing seems
to satisfy him. Is it the fault of
his diet? MRS. r. S. r.
Answer-You fail to specify what
the diet has been, but IL you have
not fed the baby pure, fresh milk
(mOdified at first), you have not
fed him properly. Fresh milk con-
tains live fat, and that is indis-
pensable for the proper nutrition
and growth of a baby. You should
also give the baby a few spoonfuls
of fresh fruit juice (any kindt)
daily; some fresh meat broth (any
kind three times a week, and a
spoonful or two OF any one or more
fresh vegetables (such as spinach,
cabbage. string beans, carrots, as

Skin Cancer.

Skin Cancer.
II l thought it would help any
body should sprinkle this whole
page with tears. But tears do not
help cancer at all. Tears do not
help any disease that / know
about, excepting hysteria, and they
are great for that.
Skin cancer is the cheerfulest
type of cancer. By that l mean
that it is the only type of cancer
that may be successfully treated
without the knife-if the knife is
not a cheerful idea For my part,
speaking as patient, I'll take the
knife any day in preference TO ap-
pendicitis. But lots of folk seem
to prefer the appendicitis.
Skin cancer is nothing but an
obstinate pimple or wart or little
scab for months. or even years,
before it assumes malignant char
acteristics. The little lesion just
refuses to heal or go away, and in
time it begins to bleed from trifiing
injury, and then by and by it be-
gins to increase in size, and pres
emily the process of liberation oc-
ours, and a raw surface presents.
On the cheek or the eyelid or the
side of the nose is a familiar site
Taken in Iime-that is, before the
process OF liberation occurs-tha
little lesion may be cured in var
ious ways, by X-ray treatment, by
radium treatment, by daily expos
ure to condensed sunlight Through
a reading glass; up to the degree
of endurance of the burning, and
even by the application of caustics.
But when liberation has begun.
then the time for cheerful treat
ment is past and the knife is the
only effective remedy.
Probably am prejudiced, hav-
ing undergone a major operation.
However, if I had lesion of that
kind I should leave the cheerful
methods for more cheerful folk
and take the knife for mine. 1t is
quick, clean, safe and painless.
And I'd choose the knife in spite
OF all the wishbone prophets and
their mysterious oils, pastes and

Internal cancers develop usually
