Paris.-'The German government is
the same bureaucratic regime OF the
kaiser's day, with the same attitude
howard labor and capital, and does not
represent the forces which caused the
revolution" says DR.. Alonzo e. Tay-
ior, food specialist, who has just re-
burned from Germany. He made ex-
tensive investigations in behalf of the
supreme food relief council.
Count Won Bernstorff is in charge
of American affairs and the foreign
office and the bureaucrats Of the old
school are in evidence everywhere"
he added. "The Germans are becom-
ing Russianized. They are afraid to
but untried men into the service, and
consequently they tolerate the old or
der Of things"
! The German army has apparently
been disorganized and demobilized for
the most part, Doctor Taylor says, but
he believes it will be possible for a
well-organized bureaucracy to restore
militarism if it is deemed desirable.
Many Germans believe they will re-

Canada in Worldwide Search fos
Members of Northwest Mounted
Police.

Vancouver, B. C.-The world is t.
be searched by officers of the royal
northwest mounted police to locate for
mer members of the Scarlet Riders and
bring them back to the fold.
When the European war broke out
the mounted police were not permitted
to enlist as unit. Some of the men

until they distinguished themselves OF
the battlefields. Later unit of the
"mounties" was accepted for service
Investigation has disclosed that some
of the best known Scarlet Riders are
in the Holy land, others in Africa, Aus

do It's share to bring them home.

natural by Doctor Taylor, who says it
was possibly created by the payment
of large indemnities to unemployed
persons and by suspending action on
all questions vital to the future of the
nation. Unemployed men in Berlin are
paid eight marks day, while railway
workers and street cleaners get six
marks daily. Consequently, the men
prefer to remain idle.
Plays so immoral that they would
have been prohibited under the impe-
rial regime are now tolerated; thiev-
ing is prevalent; footing is common
and the general public morale is very
low, Doctor Taylor remarks. lie says
the food situation is critical and in
spite of the. great reduction made in
rations, the nation cannot live until
next harvest unless supplied by out
side powers.

The last great German offensive of the

Colonel Hayward declared. Reinforced

The blow came east of Reims.

start at midnight and last for five

chance any soldier ever took in the
world. He took his troops out of the
front line trenches over front of fifty
kilometers.

thousands of lives. Men had toiled
for weeks and months to gain these
positions. He abandoned them when
he was sure where the attack was
coming.
Sand when this occurred he had
the Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth
American infantry on one end of that
fifty kilometer line and the One Hun
dred and Sixty-fifth on the other.
"When the troops were Withdrawn
from the front line only patrols were
left. On my regiments front, instead
of 1000 men, only sixteen volunteers
were left. They were left in specially
reinforced trenches with signal rock
cts, gas shells, and few machine
guns.
"And so the German fire fell on
these front line trenches for five hours
and twenty-five minutes-and those
shells fell on empty trenches, except
for those patrols who stayed there ex-
pecting to be killed, but who, strangely
enough, practically all came back to
us in the morning.

ARMY SWEETS TOO RICH
German Children Ate SO Many Amer

Became Ill.

Paris.-A carload of chocolate billed
to the American army of occupation
in Germany was wrecked near Trier.
Before the American salvage crew got
to work German children of families
diving near by ate quantities of the
sweets and started homeward with all
they could carry.
Many of the children had never
TASTED chocolate before, this form OF
candy being among the luxuries which
Germany was virtually unable to sup
ply during the war. The result was
that the boys and girls, became ill and
had to be treated by physician.

To be possessed Of a head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, FUZZY,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter Of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of it. Just get a
small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace Of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully

"The most elementary precautions
were omitted" it is stated by the
priest. "He was simply led into a
trap prepared by the court at Vienna
and the Hungarian aristocracy, head
ed at that time by Count Tisza."
The general idea of the pamphlet is
that Magyar magnates, with the con-
sent of the Vienna court, wished to
get rid of the duke, who was extreme
ly disliked, and obtain vengeance for
the murder at the expense of the
Jugo- Slavs, who would be made help
less.

According to his statement he worked

estimate to the extent of $4,000.

The internal condition of Germany

Many prisoners were taken and were

ed a great deal of their attention to
plundering the shops. Politically, the
majority socialists are not meeting
with great success or inspiring much
enthusiasm in the people. Hugo Haase
and the minority socialists are grow
ing stronger, and some observers say
the only salvation from the commun-
ism or chaos they would bring about
is in the new democratic party which
is getting into action. The fact that
the chief Of this party is Count Won
Bernstorff will not give it much stand
ing with the allies. 1t is to be noted,
too, that Doctor Albert, former leader
of plots and propaganda in the United
States, has been given cabinet posi-
ton under Scheidemann. One can al
most discern, already, the finish of the
so-called German revolution against
autocracy. Even now, it is reported,

their vast Importance and difficulties.

between Italy and -Slovakia.
The commission on waterways,
ports and railways recommended that
the Rhine and the Kiel canal be opened
to free navigation by all nations, the
former to be controlled by an interna-
tional commission and the latter to
remain under German ownership and
operation.
Poland probably will be granted the
desired outlet to the Baltic sea, and
it is likely she will be given Danzig
and the entire Vistula valley. This
would cut off east Prussia and it is
believed that state will be set up as
separate republic, in accordance
with the wishes of large part of it's
population. The violent opposition
which these measures may arouse in
Germany probably will render adj
visable the sending to Poland of Gen
