Germans Twist Facts

German propa ganda played up differ ent points of prejudice in various coun- tries, but George Greet, who reveals some war propaganda methods in Ev- erybpdy's says the Fundamentals were much the same everywhere.
 AS an initial proposition, Americans were described as a nation of dollar grabbers, devoid of ideals, and inordln- ate In their ambitions.
 Our war with Mexico was played up as cold blooded, evil conquest, and our struggle with Spain painted as an effort of our financial masters to enter upon dreams of world imperialism; Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico were pitied as Americas slave na- tions,' Pershing's expedition to Mexi- co was declared to be the start of war of conquest that we were later forced to relinquish because of 'cowardice shrank before the 'dauntless' courage Of Carranza! the Colorado coal strike. the Lawrence strike, ana the Paterson strikes were all treated in the utmost detail to prove Americas system of wage slavery; pictures were drawn of tremendous wealth on the one hand and peonage on the other; lynchings were exaggerated until it was made to ap- pear that almost every tree in America was used for purposes of execution, and we were charged in every conceiva- ble form and fashion Of being the secret partner of one or the other of the all lies in commercial plans to control the trade of the world"

AMERICAN OFFICERS
 CLUB TO~CLOSE SOON
Has Been One of LondOn's Most Popu- lar Institutions While War Was
 in Progress
Ky Associated Press

London, March 1.-The American
 Officers club in London will be closed
 in April, marking the end of purely
 British collective hospitality extended
 to American forces in England. Many
 Americans who have been stationed in
 England say that the British people
 have gone much father in their efforts
 to make them contented and comfort
 able than they could have expected and
 are carrying home wit hthem pleasant
 memories of their stay here.
 The Officers club here probably was
 the most notable achievement of hos
 pitality. When American officers be-
 gan to arrive in large numbers there was difficulty in providing club ar
 engagements. War activities at London
 had resulted in clubs being overtaxed
 with British newcomers. At the sug-
 gestion of Sir Harry Britain, who had
 spent several months in the United
 States in 1915, the Pilgrims organiza- ton of which he is president under took to provide a club.
 The palatial house of Lord Leconfield
 had been obtained and the club was or ganlzed. It was popular from the day it opened and through it American of ficers were given the opportunity to become acquainted with English peo- pie.
 In entertaining Americans in their homes Londoners did not confine them selves to men they had met at the Off, ficers' club. Almost daily. American army and nary headquarters received requests that they designate few
 men for teas, dances or dinners. A committee of the ministry of in formation devoted itself to entertain ing Americans for several months. The National Sporting club was free to Americans in uniform every Wednes- day. Vice Admiral Sims and General Riddle, the American commanders, fre- quently attended Theatrical managers | arranged performances every Sunday night at the Palace theatre for Ameri- cans in uniform. Theatre tickets to
 many London attractions were free to any American soldier for the asking at any time and hundreds of men took advantage of this hospitality.
 This committee also sent entertain
 CTS to hospitals where American
 wounded were receiving treatment and 1t provided theatrical attractions at other English cities where Americans were stationed.

How to Wave Hair to
 Appear Naturally Curly

You won't need to resort to the parching, scorching curling iron if you will adopt the simple plan I will mem tion. Isn't that good news?
 At night merely apply little liuuid silmerine with a clean tooth brush, drawing this through the hair from root to tip. This will impart a delight full wavy appearance and a bright lus- tre suggestive of hidden sunshine" It will prove beneficial. to the hair, in- stead of making it brittle and dead looking as the hot iron does Tn the morning, instead of your tresses being mean and contrary, you will find them quite easy to do up in any form, and there will be no unpleasant odor, grease or stickiness about the hair. I would suggest that you ask your druggist for the liquid Silmerine-four or five ounces which will require no mixing and you can pour little into a saucer when re- quired.-Emily Coulson in Hygiene.

DUSSELDORF PAYS
 ENORMOUS PRICES

Dusseldorf. Germany, March 5.-The German authorities have reported that there is plenty of food in the vicW Wity of Dusseldorf, but it is difficult for the poorer classes to purchase it on cards, because the food is held for the high prices obtained for smuggled goods.
 Meat when obtained legitimately is quoted at the normal equivalent of H20 pound, butter at S1.40, eggs at 20 cents each, flour at five cents pound, and su- gar at A cents a pound.
 The same foods if sold by smugglers bring from two to five times those prices. Bacon is sold by smugglers for the nor mai equivalent of $4 to $7 a pound. The men and women engaged in the snug gling trade call upon their customers in the cities at night and buy their supplies in the country in the day.
