Aimanach De Gotha.

We pity the colleague who mt pres
ent has to edit the Almanach de Gotha,
the directory of all courts. The next
edition, which, by the way, had almost
been ready for the printer when the
great tumbling Of thrones happened
and therefore will have to be radically
revised and will look very different. We
cannot imagine that the good people
who used to place the bible of aris-
tocracy and the court directory on the
most conspicuous shelf of their book
case will ever again have the desire to
inquire "who is who?"
No fewer than 27S names belonging
to former reigning princes will be
missed. And those are of the ruling
families of Germany exclusively; not
to mention the Turks, the Greeks, the
Bulgarians, etc. The new almanach,
which no longer will have to speak in
cringing humility of the Hohenzollern,
the Wittelsbachs of Bavaria, the Zach
ringers of Baden, the Coburgs and the
Schaumberg-Lippe is a list of war
gains. OF course, it does not compen-
safe entirely for all the sacrifices
which hundreds of thousands of better
men had to suffer before these 27S
highnesses of divine right were per-
mitted to become ordinary mortals,
but it is. nevertheless, one fruit of our
victory. And the house-cleaning still
goes on.-German Democracy Bulle-

ARREST TURK LEADERS
British and French Police Take
35 Into Custody.
Action at ConstantinopIe May Have
Effect of Preventing Further
Massacres.

Washington, Feb. g. American
Commissioner Heck at Constantinople
reported to the State department the
arrest of 35 leading members of the
Turkish committee of union and
progress.
The British and French police are
endeavoring to eliminate the leaders
of the Turkish government who have
been intriguing against the Allies and
who are believed to have inspired re.
cent massacres among the Armenians
and other people formally subject to
the Ottoman empire.
The opinion was expressed here
that the arrests would have salutary
effect.
Among the union and progress
members arrested were Rahmy, for.
mer governor general of Smyrna; Hus.
sein Djahid first vice president of the
chamber of deputies; Carasso, law.
yer; Suleiman Nouman, chief medical
inspector of the army; Karmal, for
mer minister of food control; Hadjji
Aadil, speaker of the chamber of depu.
ties; Djevad, formerly military com
mander of Constantinople, and Dim
Djoz, a member of the house of depu-
ties.

Girl Farmers

South Bethlehem, Pa, probably had
one of the most active organizations
of the woman's land army in the entire
United States during the summer just
ended. Farmers in that locality in
many instances reaped the largest
crops in history, and they praise the
conscientious and efficient work of the
girls and young women who assisted
them as among the best help they ever
had.
Pitching hay is really a mans job,
but the girls on the farms near Beth
lehem were ready to try any kind of
farm work, and made a fine record in
harvesting the hay crop. The work
for which they showed themselves
best adapted, however, was horticul-
tural. They were Invaluable in the
truck gardens, wedding onion patches,
picking berries, punching asparagus
and doing the various other odd jobs
that must be done to keep gardens
productive and neat
Saturday night meant time of rest
for the girls, and they celebrated with
"sings" ordinarily. They also gave oc-
casiOnal vaudeville and minstrel shows
and dinner parties. Many of them are
college girls and have gone back, to
school, but others are engaging in 9TH
er forms of work during the fall and
winter season.

BOARD ISSUES ORDER
War Trade Body Removes Re,
strictions on Exports.
Lifting of Embargo May Stabilize
Grain Prices and Relieve Con-
gested Market.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The most
sweeping removal of restrictions upon
the expectation of foodstuffs made
since signing of the armistice was an
nounced by the war trade board.
Commodities removed from the export
reservation list were barley, corn and
rye, including -four and meal made
from these grains, oats and oat prod
ucts, brewers grains, bran and mid
dlings. beans, dried and soft peas, su-
gar and hydrogenated cotton seed oil.
These articles constituted a major
ity of the food items on the restricted
list and their removal is effective i'm
mediately. Licenses to export them
will be granted freely to all destina-
tions, including Great Britain, France,
Italy and Belgium. Heretofore such
exports TO these allied countries were
made exclusively by the food admins
tration's grain corporation and the
wheat export company.
Attention was called to the fact that
wheat and wheat flour remain on the
restricted list There was no indica-
tion when the embargo on those COM
modities would be removed, but it was
said 1t probably would remain in force
until the governments agreement with
the farmers for a maximum price on
the 1919 wheat crop had expired
Removal of the embargo on the
other grains was expected by some
officials to stabilize prices and relieve
what was described as a congested
market.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
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 few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw. it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre. softness and luy--
rance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan

Move TO Save Potash.

The work of analyzing the raw ma
terials and slags from the blast-fur-
mace industry to determine if possible
the amount of potash now lost in that
industry which might be collected for
fertilizer has been carried on by the
United States bureau of soils during
the last year and is expected to be
completed during the current fiscal
year. It is evident from the work so
far done that very large amount of
potash can be made available from
this source If suitable collecting ap-
paratus is installed. The bureau is
also conducting research work in the
commercial collection of potash from
cement kilns.

GATHERING OF CROP DATA
Information Showing How Thorough
Is the Work Of the Department.
of Agriculture.

An outline of the organization de-
veloped in the department Of agricul-
ture through more than half century
OF experience in crop estimating, indi-
eating the care and thoroughness with
which government crop reports are
prepared, is given in the annual re-
port of the secretary of agriculture.
For collecting original data the bu-
reau of crop estimates has two main
sources of formation-voluntary re-
porters and salaried field agents. The
voluntary force comprises 33, 743 town
ship reporters, one for each agricul-
tural township; 1852 county reporters,
who report monthly or oftener on
countrywide conditions,' basing their
estimates on personal observation, in
luiry and written reports of aids, of
whom there are about $500; 10 special
ISIS OF co-operators, aggregating 49,
UO names, who report on particular
products, such as live stock, cotton,
wool, rice, tobacco, potatoes, apples,
peanuts, beans and the like; and 90
l60 field aids, including the best in
formed men in each state, who report
directly to the salaried field az ents of
the bureau. The total voluntary staff
therefore, numbers approximately 200,
OOO, an average of about &C for each
county and 4 for each township. The
reporters, as rule, are farmers. They
serve without compensation, and are
selected and retained on the lists be-
cause of their knowledge of local con
ditions, their public spirit, and their
interest in the work. All except coun
ty and field aids report directly to the
bureau, and each class of reports is
tabulated and averaged separately fol
each group and state.

HUNGER STALKS
AMONG CzECHS
People in Central Europe Are
Suffering on Account of
Food Shortage.
PROBE HAS BEEN MADE
Representatives of lnter-Ailied Relief
Commission Return to Paris After
Extensive Tour Through
Stricken Regions.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Hugh R. Gibson, Cap
tain T. T. Ferguson, and other repre-
sentatives of the Inter-Allied Food Re
lief commission, returned to Paris to
make a report TO Herbert Hoover, di-
rector general of the commission, after
several weeks travel through Poland,
Austria Hungary, Czecho Slovakia,
Jugo-Slovakia and Serbia.
Coal is now the most pressing need
, in CZecho-Slovakia and Austria-Hun-
gary, said Captain Ferguson, and with
lief on a large scale is impossible.
Only one-tenth of the possible number
of trains are operating in Austria and
Hungary because of lack of coal and
conditions are little better in Czecho-
Sloyakia,
Formerly Austria Hungary received
10000 tons of coal daily from Prussian
Silesia. This has been greatly dimin.
ished and the yield is small in Czecho-
Slovakia because of the political and
labor agitation.
THE bridges and trestles have been
almost destroyed in Serbia, and as a
consequence motor trucks and OK carts
must be used temporarily" Captain
Ferguson said 1.-The railway demor-
alization is slightly less in Czecho-Slo-
vakia than in Austria-Hungary, where
few trains are operating, these being
loaded with men and women carrying
bags of food.
Although the Americans cannot
eXpend great amount for Austria
Hungarian relief, the Allies probably
will supply food for those two coun.
tries TO avert Bolshevism and all the
American relief for Czecho-Slovakia
must pass over the disorganized
Austro-Hungarian railways.
"The Americans are concentrating
food at Trieste, which will be the
center of the southern relief work.
while Danzig will be the center of Pol
ish relief. But the entire campaign
is dependent upon coal which it may
be necessary to import from England
or the United States, unless arrange
ments can be made to obtain it from
Prussia, where production is less af.
fected by disorganization.
The Food administration headquar
ters announced that the American
Relief administration has received a
shipment of $4,000 tons of food from
Trieste at Prague for the Czecho-Slo.
vaks.
1t is stated that the food situation
in Czecho-Slovakia is now extremely
serious and that inasmuch as Czecho-
Slovakia has no port of it's own it is
necessary to traverse the old state of

INQUIRY SHOWS
STORIES FALSE
Reports Of American LaWIess.
ness in France Are Without
Any Foundation.
GEN. HARTS REPORTS
Yankee Commander in Paris District
Says Indications are Crime Ru-
mors are Some Sort of Anti
American Propaganda.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Brig. Gen. W. w
Harris, the American commander of
the Paris district, in report submit
ed to- Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, declares
reports of lawlessness on the part of
Americans, particularly from the
American Expeditionary Force, are
wholly unfcunded.
The report gives the results of in
vestigations of printed and rumored
reports of crime and lawlessness. II
is based on records of the American
provost marshal.sthe French police and
other sources.
General Harris says that the persist
accusing the Americans of lawlessness
"has led to the impression that there
is some anti-American propaganda at
work in Paris which some have
ascribed to German sources"
Offcnses Very Few.
He says that incontrovertible figures
show that criminal offenses committed
in Paris and ascribed to American
soldiers from January, 1918, to Janu-
ary, 1919, were extremely few in pro.
portion to the number of American
soldiers in Paris during that period.
One Paris newspaper recently
ascribed to American soldiers a total
of "a murders, $50 days and night at
tacks and $50 bloody combats'' dur
ing December. General Harts charac-
terizes this as malicious exaggeration
and says that the records show that
serious offenses committed by Ameri-
cans during December totaled two
cases of assault and battery, three
cases of housebreaking and seven
cases of disorderly conduct
Police Disprove Rumors.
Inviting attention to the fact that
more than $4,000 soldiers have been
stationed in Paris at one time and
that some 5000 pass through the city
daily. General Harts gives the fol-
lowing data OF cases of crime in which
American soldiers were concerned as
reported by the prefect of the Paris
police.
From Jan. 4, 1913, to Nov. 1S, there
were 80 shooting affairs. From June
to December there were six cases of
this kind. During January there were
three cases of attempted murder, one
of manslaughter, 13 of assault and bat
terry, six of robbery and seven of
thefts of automobiles.
