Peace May Be Near
Yesterday's dispatches from the western front said that the British have noticed a change
in the attitude of the captured German officers.
Seemingly they have lost confidence and hope in
the future and believe that the Imperial Govern
ment is doomed to defeat. Formerly captured officers and men expressed profound confidence in the ability of the German war machine to overcome all obstacles. They had faith in the General Staff that astounded foe and neutral. This feeling has given way to a desire to talk peace, terms. Officers are. wondering on what terms Germany can end the war satisfactorily to herself. No longer do you hear them talking of Germany as a conqueror who will dictate terms. This change in the morale of the officers and soldiers may be the forerunner of a peace that will come as quickly as war was declared. The
impression prevails in many circles that Ger
many's announcement of a desire to have peace
will come like a bolt out of clear sky.
Contrasted with the downhearted spirit of the Teutons is the high morale of the Allies. America's entrance in the war was bound to have a twofold effect. To the Allies it was added strength, to Germany another powerful opponent, possessing material power and millions of men.
More German Perfidy Explosives and microbes stored in the German legation at Bucharest after the United States had taken over the Kaiser's interests in Roumania, is the latest chapter added to Teuton treachery against this government. One expects an expose every day now. The state department must be in possession of thousands of bits of information that strengthen the case of this government against the Kaiser. That the Imperial Government can satisfactorily explain away the damaging evidence against it is something none of us expect it to be able to do.
Why We Are at War The United States Treasury Department, in a bulletin recently issued, tells why we are at
war. It is reproduced to recapitulate for the patriotic American the reasons why his son is serving in our military-establishment. Germany has forced America, as it has forced practically the entire world, to defend itself by arms. We are fighting this war because Germany made war upon us. America is a peaceful Nation; we have no lust for conquest, no desire for annexation of territory; we are defending ourselves against Germany because the Imperial German Government entered upon a program which meant the destruction of all American institutions. . When we finally recognized that Germany was waging war upon us, we had seen more than 225 Americans,-, among them many women and children, killed by German submarines; hospital ships had been sunk and unfortified towns had been bombed and bombarded. Medals had been struck in honor of the sinking of the Lusitania, the murderous act by which so many of our men, women, and children, lost their lives. German officials had treated the United States, a neutral nation, as an enemy. Strikes were organized in this country, plants were blown up, pro-German publications were founded and subsidized, and hatred of America was systematically sought to be inculcated among our foreign-born inhabitants. Every effort was made to involve us in
trouble with Japan and Mexico. Our repeated protests were met with promises and explanations which were little better than insults. The Imperial German Government finally pro
claimed the unrestricted destruction of neutral ships upon the high seas. It was the notification to the United States that our people were no
pnger sovereign, and that if they would sail the
seas in safety we must conform to conditions
laid down by a Government that defied international law, humanity, and elemental morality. A policy of terrorism has been systematically applied by the Imperial German Government since the outbreak of the European war. Treaties that stood in the way of German militaristic plans have been disregarded, women and children have been treated with indescribable brutality, the noblest works of art have been destroyed, and prisoners have been abused and maltreated and civilian populations massacred and deported. This is why America has gone into this war in defense of American honor and American rights. To have done anything else would have been to surrender our sovereignty, and we would have been forced in the end to fight a conscienceless and rapacious military autocracy an autocracy which is in this war avowedly for indemnities, aggrandizement, and the control of the world. Our success means that our children and our children's children will be able to enjoy peace. Buy a Liberty. Bond, get behind your Government, and shorten this war. This is your fight. Our men are giving their lives; you are only asked to lend your money. There should be at least one Liberty Bond in every home. There is no better test of your Americanism.

Liberty Bonds May Bear Four Percent
Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON
Between the Acta T often have, pondered over the certainty that almost any mature person la a theatre audience has lived or is living through a drama as thrilling as that portrayed for their amusement. The thought gripped me anew as the curtain rose on the quaint, highroad setting for the first act of "Rosemary" and the predicament of the youthful elopers whose chaise ha3 broken down leaving them stranded in a rainstorm. To me, whose nerves were still . jangling with the discovery of the identity of the woman who appeared to hold so high a place in Dicky's regard, the problem of the young lovers appeared very trivial. "She's worrying now because she can't get married," I said to myself grimly. "How will sh"e feel when she begins to wonder why she ever did take such a step?" I did have the good grace right there to be ashamed of myself, and to make a determined effort to get rid of the whisperings of the little, sneering devil, who is a familiar friend of mine. Two weeks married and allowing such treason to ' Dicky to ' enter my mind! I involuntarily moved a trifle closer to him, and he bent toward me eagerly. "Enjoying it, sweetheart?" he whispered. ' "Very much," I returned sedately, and then turned to the stage and gave myself up to the delicate witchery of the comedy. One thing jarred, however; I am not an admirer of Dickens, and the picture of Sir Jasper returning from a three-mile jaunt in the rain to get the latest number of Nickelby, and his uproarious appreciation of Fanny Squeers' letter rather marred my pleasure in the Irst act. When the curtain went down on all

the characters safely housed in Sir Jasper's country seat with all the earmarks of a lively contretemps in prospect, Dicky nudged me. "Just cast your eye on these," he whispered gleefully, showing me his program with two of its page margins covered with tiny sketches so lifelike of the quaint old man and his daughter sitting near us that I exclaimed at their cleverness. "Oh. Dicky, these are good," I murmured. "Luckily there was a bit of light somewhere that lit up the old Chap's face when the actor was doing that clever bit with Fanny Squeers' letter." Dicky modestly ignored my comment. "The old boy nearly fell out of his seat, he laughed so hard. I'll bet he remembers when those numbers of
Dickens' yarns first came out. He's ears.
old enough to have been present when old Bill Shakespeare presented 'Hamlet for the first time in any stage. "Wasn't that a bully "bit?" Dicky rattled on. "You know Parker, the author of this play, is a most ardent Dickenssian, and this was too good a chance for him to miss ringing in something about his idol. Fitted in great, too, don't you think so?" ' "Why no, Dicky," I returned. "To tell you the truth, the incident seemed forced to me. But then, I do not care for Dickens anyway. His humor is too cheap " "And his characters are caricatures, and. he doesn't know anything about women, and he has no real literary merit please spare me- the rest of that highbrow twaddle, Madge. I know it by heart, backward and forward, up and down. I've listened to Lillian Gale spout it for years. Only blemish on an otherwise sound intellect." "And I will not hold him guiltless who taketh my name in vain," a mer
ry voice quoted irreverently in our
"Let us go now!" shouted fifty voices, and every man of King's party 6howed himself and stretched. "Let us go! Why .wait?" But King would not go. Nor would he explain why he would not go. Nor could he tell himself what held him, gazing at Khinjan, except that he thought of Yasmini and 1 ached to know what she was doing. it was thirty minutes after the last of the mullah's men had vanished through the gate, and his own men in dozens and twenties were scattered along the cliff-top arguing against delay with growing rancor, when a lone horseman galloped out of Khinjan Gate and started across the valley. He rode recklessly. He was either panic-stricken or else bolder than the devil. In a minute King had recognized the mare, and so had the eyes of fifty men around 'him. No man with half an eye for a horse could have failed to recognize that black mare, having seen ber once. She came like a goat among the rocks, just as she had once dived into darkness in the Khyber with King following. In another two minutes King had recognized the Rangar's silken turban. And now there was no need
to restrain the men; they all stood and watched, to know what new turn affairs were taking. Most of them were staring downward at the Rangar's head as he urged the mare up the cliff path, when the explanation of Yasminl's message came. It was only King, urged by some intuition, who had his eyes fixed on Khinjan.
There came a shock that actually swayed the hill they stood on. The mare on the path below missed her footing and fell a dozen feet, only to get up again and scramble as if a thousand devils 'were behind her, the Rangar riding her grimly, like a jockey in a race. Three more shocks followed. A great slice of Khinjan suddenly caved in with a roar, and smoke and dust burst upward through the tumbling crust. There was a pause after that, as If the waiting elements were gathering strength. For ten minutes they watched and scarcely breathed. Rewa Gunga gained the summit and, dismounting, stood by King with the reins over his arm. The mare was too blown to do anything but stand and tremble. And King 'was too enthralled to do anything but stare.
"That is what a woman can do for a man!" said Rewa Gunga grimly. "She set a fuse and exploded all the dynamite. There were tons of it! The galleries must have fallen in, one on the other! A thousand men digging for a thousand years could never get into Khinjan now, and the only way out is down Earth's Drink! She bade me come and bid you good-by, sahib. I would have stayed in there, but she commanded me. She said, 'Tell King sahib my love was-true. Tell hinPI give him India and aU Asia that were at my mercy." While the Rangar spoke there came three mora earth tremors in swift succession, and a thunder out of Khinjan as if the very Hills were coming to an end. The mare grew frantic and the Rangar summoned six men to hold her. Suddenly, right over the top of Khinjan's upper rim, where only the eagles ever perched, there burst a
column of water, immeasurable, huge, that for a moment blotted out the sun. It rose sheer upward, curved on Itself, and fell. In a million-ton deluge on to Khinjan and into Khinjan valley, hissIg and roaring and thundering. Earth's Drink had been blocked by the explosion and had found a new barrier before plunging down again into the bowels of the world. The one 6 try-flung leap It made as its weight burst down a mountain wall was enough to blot out Khinjan forever, and what had been a dry milewide moat was a shallow lake with death's rack and rubbish floating on the surface. The earth rocked. The Hillmen prayed, and King scared, trying to memorize all that had been. Suddenly it flashed across his mind that the Ranger who had striven like a fiend to stab him only a matter of hours ago was now standing behind him, within a yard. He was up on his feet in a second and faced about. The Rangar .laughed. "So ends the Heart of the Hills," he said. "Think kindly of her, sahib. She thought well of you!" He laughed again and sprang on
the black mare, and before King could speak or raise a hand to stop him he was off, hell-bent-for-leather along the precipice In the direction of the Khyber Pass and India. Two of the men who had come out of Khinjan mounted and spurred after him.
King collected his men and the women and children. It was easy, for they were numb from what they had
witnessed and dazed by fear. In half
an hour he had them mustered and
marching.
"Let us go back and loot the mul
lah's camp and take the women!"

Spoil Your Hair
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 to use is just plain mulsified coccanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive

Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises.
If you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deaf
ness, cut out this formula, and hand it to them, and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
pernaps trom total deafness. Recent experiments have proved conclusively that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc., were the direct cause of constitutional disease, and that Balves, sprays, inhalers, etc., meerly temporize with the complaint and seldom, if ever, effect a permanent cure. This being so, much time and money has been spent of late by a noted specialist In perfecting a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that would quickly dispel all traces of the catarrhal poison from the system. The effective prescription which was eventually formulated, and which has aroused the belief that deafness will soon be extinct, is given below in understandable form, so that anyone can treat themselves in their own home at little expense. Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home and add to it V. pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hearing rapidly returns as the system is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat, are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison, and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatment. Nearly ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are directly caused by catarrh; therefore there must be many people whose hearing can be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness, or catarrh in any form, should give this prescription a t rial. Clem Thistlethwaite can supply you.
