SIGNS OF WEAKENING

There seems to be getting abroad
in Germany a clearer comprehension
of the methodical manner in which
the people have been exploited by
their captains of industry. In fair
ness it may be admitted these capt.
t. y have kept industry alive, that
they have been building for the flu
ture, that they have held off repara-
tins from the allies and that even
tually the people Of Germany will
share in the fruits of this effort.
There is another side to this and
the German people are experiencing
it. In place of returning confidence
they see accommodating distrust; in
place of a living wage they are con-
frOntcd with a deprecated currency
from which, thew now see, their en-
ployers haze profited enormously for
the time being, have made millions
which have been sent out of the
country where it may not be made to
share in the sacrifices which it is now
evident will be required.
While the declarations from both
German and French sources are firm,
while words alone show no signs of a
weakening those in close touch with
matters arc convinced that a way out
will be found, that war will not-for
the present at least-come of Frances
occupation of the RUIN. Big bust
ness is very much to the fore both in
France and in Germany. Chancellor
Cuno, formerly president Of the Ham,
burg American Steamship Company,
associate as he is with the krupps,
/ Thyssen, SHINES and others of their
ilk, is not likely to insist that these
capitalists call home some of those
millions they have deposited outside
the country and aid in making an Of
fer to settle on some possible basis.
They are. of course, putting out all
kinds of propaganda. nevertheless the
idea is spreading among the people
that through this means lies the way
! to settlement, to a return to stable
conditions, to a sound currency and
an ADEQUATE wage. While in such
mood the endeavor of the German
plutocrats to convince the people
that they are being oppressed by
France does not apepar to be making
the hcadV ay expected. In the Ruhr
region inhabitants have been we'll
treated when conforming to the regu-
lations and are not needing advice to
strike as the authorities at Berlin
wish them to do.

Way to Get
Rid of BIQckhe1ds

There IL one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
that is to dissolve them. To do this get
two ounces of calonte powder from any
drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot. wet
cloth-rub over the hlaCliheads briskly-
wash the parts and You will he surprised
how the backheads have disappeared.
Big blackheads. little hlackheads, no mat
ter where they are. simply dissolve and
disappear Blackheads are simply a mix
ture OF dust and Girt and secretions that
form in the PORES of the skin. The Gallo
mite powder anu the water dissolve the
b'ackheads so they wash right out, leaving

women. many applications for admis-

women to whom these were granted,
all but few dropped out. This year

Is the ocean outside the three mile
limit sanctuary for smugglers and
other criminals? This is question
likely to arise in the courts over the
seizure by Florida prohibition agents
OF an alleged rum ship some eighteen
miles out at sea. 1t is claimed the
agents discovered the craft within
the three mile limit and gave chase
to her. overtaking her about fifteen
miles beyond the limit. Had they a
right to do this? Few would ques-
tion the right of a householder, if he
discovered housebreaker on his
premises, to chase him onto the pub
lie common and there capture him.
In some respects the high seas are
the common of the nations. but posi-
bly, not in respect to rum smuggling.
