GERMANS FEAR NAVAL CONFLICT PRESSDECLARES British Naval Successes Sufficient Answer to Hun Claim, London Says. (By Associated Pru IX)NDON. April .19. The British naval success, against German minesweepers la the Cattegat recently, the Daily Telegraph says. Is aufflcent answer to the Germans who say that the British grand fleet Is In hiding. Contrasting the British fleet In the Cattegat with the German raids in the Straits of DoTer, the Daily Telegraph points out that while the Germans in their bases on the Belgian coast are only twenty miles from the straits the exploit In the Cattegat was a carefully planned operation, conducted more than 600 miles from the nearest point on the British coast. "Such a sweep." it adds, "can be

made only by a power in real control

of the sea, confronted by an enemy who will not risk protecting his small craft, suspecting that such Intervention might be the prelude to a general

action, which he desires to avoid. The

Germans had large naval forces near

the scene on thispartlcular Monday. They did not send them out, but on the contrary permitted ten trawlers

to be destroyed virtually under their

very eyes." Little New German Strength.

The newspaper then discusses the theory that the Germans might be inviting naval action near their mine fields and coast defenses, and says that all such suggestions have no foundation among those ' who have knowledge of naval conditions. The enemy, it says, has gained little new strength for use in the North

sea by the Baltic situation, while British superiority has been Increas

ed since the battle of Jutland by the co-operation of the American forces and the entire naval strength of the United States would be available if necessary. Moreover, if the German naval forces were to be employed advantageously as the right wing of the German army they would have been thrown In before and not during or after the opening of the battle in France. "If a naval battle could by any possibility have been decided in Germany's favor she would have been saved the necessity of pressing forward her army and would have been spared hundreds and thousands of casualties which, on her own 'confession, she could not afford. British Have Upper Hand. "A battle on the sea is fought simply to gain the right to use the seas for military or economic purposes. The Germans have wanted to attain that end for three years and eight months, and if they have not done so while the odds against them were less r-avy than they are today the reason Is on the surface. "Still, we can dismiss from our minds all unsupported rumors. The watch by the sea was never maintained more efficiently or more effectively than the grand fleet is maintaining it at this moment."

This Skin Peeler All the Rage in Society

There in a growing tndncy among women of culture and fashion to pay more attention to hygienic means of preserving their charms. The advent of mercollsed wax doubtless hws been Inrgelv responsible for this. This remarkable substance produces complexion so natural in appearance, bo Magnetically beautiful, artificial com nlexions are no longer desired. Instead of "doctoring" an offensive skin, tbe skin is peeled off. The wax peels the skin so gradually, in such fine par tides, no discomfort is experienced. The fresher, younger skin beneath, wholly tn evidence within a week or two. is lily white, satiny soft and smooth. It's not a ptched-over complexion, but a brand new one. That's why merrolized wax has become such rage among society folk. The wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings. All druggists have it; one
