HunS Ask More Time.

Treves, Feb. 17.-When Marshal
Foch presented the new armistice
terms 10 the German commission on
FRIDAY, he was requested to permit
the Germans to communicate with
IVeimar The marshal told the Ger
mans that. as the disorganizatio ton or
TELEGRAPH lines made it certain there
would be a delay, he would give them
until 6 o'clock Sunday evening to take
action. He told them he would leave
Treves at that time and, If the con-
ventiOn waSnOt then signed, the armi-
stice would expire at o'clock Mon
dav morning. The terms were agreed
+o at $50 o'clock Sunday night
Although the disarmament question
WAS not raised, Matthias Erzberger,
one Of the German commissioners,
volunteered a statement that the
German army consisted of only 200
600 men, 40 per cent. of whom were
of doubtful value. He said that the
German army had been demobilized
too quickly and that it was made
auate to maintain order in the coun-
try.
. Predicts New Country.
Apart from the conference, Erzber-
ger made a number OF declai aIlolis'
saying particularly that the political
future Of Germany was fixed by Pres
idcnt Wilson'S 4 points. He asserted
that Germany would henceforth be a
rev country, adding that it would be
genuinely dem ocratic and would 10y
ally participate in the League OF Ma
+ions on the principle Of political and
economical equality. He said Ger
many was ready to agree to disarma-
ment on land and sea and in the air.
Erzberger admitted that Germany
made a mistake in 1871 when she did
not consult the psople of &lsace and
Lorraine as TO their fate. He ex-
>.prcssed the hope that France would
not make the same mistake IN annex
ing Germans without calling plebis-
cite.

FRENCH PRESIDENT
GIVES TESTIMONY
Makes Statements Relative to Charges
OF Treason Against Senator Charles
Humbert.

Paris, Feb. 18.-President Poincare
gave testimony yesterday in the case
of Senator Charles Humbert, former
proprietor of LIE Journal, who has
been under examination in
connection with charges growing out
of the Bolo Pasha and other treason
cases. The residents testimony was
taken by Paul Andre, president of the
appeal court, who went to the Palace
of the Elysee for the purpose, ac-
companied by his chief clerk
The presidents testimony was taken
because Humbert, during his ex-
aminations had frequently invoked
the name of President Poincare de-
claring he had often seen the resi-
during the course of the war. Presi-
dent Poincare testified under similar
circumstances in the case against
Madame Caillaux for the shooting Of
CASTOR Calmette
A Paris dispatch January 18 re-
ported that the Investigations in the
case of Senator Hum bert has estab-
ltshed the falsity of accusations made
against him to the effect that he had
communicated to Germany the con-
tents of two documents relative to
the national defense.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoOs contain too
much alkali which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get This at
any drug store. and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply mOisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in. about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. II makes
an abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft. fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy TO
handle. Besides. it loosens and takes
out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff. -Advt.

coming up over various parts OF the
country. Webster said the only pos
sible method OF establishing a sys-
tenn OF rates that is fair 10 all cities
IS the straight mileage basis. In this
way every city would pay for the ex-
act distance that the haul amounts
TO. This method has been suggested
by railroad men a number Of times
but has been rejected since it has
many complications that could not
be worked out 10 advantage.
Testimony for the shippers was
completed at noon Thursday and
Atty. Larish reviewed the evidence
submitted and announced that the
compliments rested.

before proceeding with the case.
Effort was made at various times
TO connect the Michigan percentage

the idea in mind that the commits

70 be reopened. which they have al

prepare for their hearing at the ses-

During the examining OF James

Atty. Frank Larisn OF Chicago. in
which traffic men OF wide experience
said during 81 rate percentage case in
Michigan two years ago. that il the
commission -ranted the Michigan
request. northern Indiana and other
points were entitled 10 the same
privilege. This was referred TO Web
ster and he said he believed the
statements OF these Witnesses was
Substantially true.
May Get Rate.
Ia other words. ne said that IL the
commission could not find Il possible
70 reopen the Michigan case, which
gave the shippers the rate they de-
sired. ne thought the complaining
cities in the present case would get
that rate which they are asking for
Counsel for the shippers pointed
out that there should be no discrim-
iuation between freight rates and
that the commission would hold in
favor Of any city or group OF cities
that are forced TO pay higher rates
for shorter mileage hauls than those
Of longer mileage hauls.
Consider Chicago Rate.
At the time the rates were laid
out on the percentage basis from
New York. Chicago was used as the
100 per cent base and groups COM
prising four or five counties of a
state were made up. In that way IL
one city is on one edge Of the group
and another on the opposite edge
they are both compelled 10 pay the
same amount Of freight from New
York. Instances We're named where
cities more than 100 miles difference
in distance from New York are pay
ing the same rate Of freight. Due
TO this face competition in the cities
goes 90 the one paying the lowest
rate since products can be shipped
cheaper.
Sixty witnesses went on record
from the complaining cities. Misha-
waka, Elkhart, Goshen. Nappanee
and South Bend. and testified that
they are unable TO compete with
manufacturers Of those cities that
are enjoying lower rates.

Opinion Says War Time
Dry LawIs Constitutional

contcnded that the Volstead law
(the prohibition enforcement act)
by fixing one half of one per cent
as the maximum amount cf alco-
hol in beverages, established a
new standard for intoxicants. Mr..
Root also contended that the con-
stitutional prohibition amendment
allowed liquor dealers "year of
grace" to enable them to readjust
their affairs to meet changed con-
ditions but despite the amend
ment, which he argued was virtu-
ally a contract between Congress
and the states, the liquor business
had been constantly hcckled with
legislation by prohibitionists in
congress seeking to advance the
time for national prohibition.
These contentious were gener-
ally reiuted by Solicitor General
King and William L. Frierson, as
sistant attorney general, appear
ing on the governments behalf,
who took the position that the
prohibition act is still n full force
owing to the scnatc's delay in rat
flying the peace treaty; that a
state of war technically exists; I;
that national prohibition was ne
cessary for the winning of the
war and the establishment later
of normal peace conditions and
that such legislation came within
the war powers of congress.
In declaring the wartime pro-
hibition act unconstitutional. Fed
eral Judge Walter Evans in Lou
isville, held the act conflicted with
the Fifth amendment and enjoin-
ed internal revenue officials from
preventing the Kentucky Distil-
leries and Warehouse Company
from removing whiskey for bev-
erage purposes from its ware
houses. The act, however, was
upheld in the Dreyfoos case by
the Federal district court in New
York which dismissed proceed
;ngs brought to enable the COM
pany to withdraw a small quanti-
ty Of distilled spirits from bond.
The Kentucky case was decided
by the lower court on Oct. d and
the New York cases on Nov. 18th
and all were Immediately appeal
ed. About Is months would have
been required for them to make
their way thro the Supreme Court
docket for argument had not the
court upon motion of both sides,
agreed to expedite their consider
alton owing to the short time
elapsing before national constitu-
tional prohibition becomes effect
i've in January.
