Lloyd George on the War While Lloyd George's words, "There can be no negotiations with the German sword clanking on the council table," are still ringing in our ears, comes the news that the British have laundhed another offensive south of Amiens. On the Aisne-Marne front the Franco-American troops are continuing to take the clank out of the German sword. Not for many months has the cause of the Allies been brighter. American troops, 300,000 a month, are arriving in France, submarines are "being "spurlos versenkt" at a rate that is eradicating the pest, the Crown Prince's thrust toward Faria has been smashed, and, of still greater significance, a new spirit of dash and endeavor is animating the allied plans. "It is too early to say the German effort is exhausted," declared Lloyd George. "They have still powerful forces in reserve, but it is not too early to say the chances the enemy had on March 21 will not come again." And the reason was given by the prime miniatpr in than wnrHmr

"America's army soon will not be far short of the German army." Small wonder that thunderous cheers greeted the statement. And while the premier was paying general tribute to our boys, General Mangin, who was in direct command of the allied forces that smashed the German right flank south of Soissons, singled out for praise the American troops for their brilliant work : "Shoulder to shoulder with your French comrades you threw yourselves in the counter-offensive begun on July 18. You ran to it like going to a feast. Your magnificent dash upset and surprised the enemy, and your indomitable tenacity stopped counter-attacks by his fresh divisions. You have shown yourselves to be worthy citizens of your great country and have gained the admiration of your brothers in arms. "Ninety-one cannon, 7,200 prisoners, and 10 kilometers of reconquered territory are your share of the trophies of this victory. Besides this you have acquired feeling of your superiority over the barbarian enemy against whom the children of liberty are fighting. To attack him is to vanquish him. "American comrades, I am grateful to you for the blood you generously spilled in the soil of my country. I am proud of having commanded you during such splendid days and to have fought with you for the deliverance of the world." That's the kind of fighting that will take the edge off the kaiser's sword and ultimately make him hand it over to Marshal Foch. And the imminence of that day is reflected in the despondent tone of the German press. "Black and dark is the hour," says the Buer

ger Zeitung of Bremen. "The sacrifices made by the people are immeasurable and those of the fifth year of the war will be gigantic, but no refreshing breath of freedom and civic equality blows through the oppressive night of our discontent." "The German people at last realize the colossal gravity of the situation," says Vorwaerts of Berlin. The Dusseldorff Nachrichten comments:

"For though it is true that the end might come quickly, it could only be an end of terror as in Russia." Let the people of the Central Powers, after digesting the effects of the Crown Prince's defeat, ponder the raising of more millions by the new draft law which will be1 enacted in the United States. That will steep them in a gloom which will not be dispelled by the blatant promises of the Most High and the assurances of Hindenburg and Ludendorff that all is, well with German arms. The Americans who today are crossing the sea by the thousands are made of the same stuff that earned the sobriquet of "devil's dogs" for the marines and "satans" for the infantry. And in this connection Chancellor von Hertling might learn with profit that his peace offers will find no response among the children of liberty. Barbarism waxing luxuriant under the intensive cultivation of the Hohenzollern house not only will be pruned but grubbed out in the course of the next year. The Dent in the Draft From the Chicago Tribune. MAJ. GEN. ENOCH CROWDER. provost marshal general, explains and urges the necessity of amending the draft bill to take in the ages of 18 to 45 in a letter which accompanied the conscription bill introduced in both houses of congress. ; The government, abandoning the untenable position

it so long held with regard to the ages to be included in conscription, indorses Crowder's policy. The plea from the government and from the responsible military authorities, from the men responsible for the raising, training, and organizing of the American armies, for the replacement and reinforcement of men fighting in France, la for haste. It was a mistake not to make the whole power of the (Jnited States available in the first place. As a result the draft is meeting with the most serious difficulties. To fill the September quota it would be necessary with the present scheme unchanged, to make weekly registration of young men as they reach the age of 21. The senate is responsible to the demands of the situation as presented by the administration,-but in the house of representatives men of influence, still muleheaded, are backing away from the necessity. Under the influence of such men the house even now reveals itself as a curious bed of error and stubbornness in error. Representative Dent of Alabama is chairman of Ihe house committee on military affairs. His peculiar talent for this responsible position is found in his repugnance to every military plan which is correctly devised. Ever since Mr. Dent has been chairman of this committee his endeavor has been to prevent sensible procedure and to project out of his own ignorance of military subjects and his own aversion to military intelligence schemes devised to do the wrong thing in the worst possible way. For several years it has been something almost calamitous for the gnation to have the drag of Mr. Dent and Democrats who, animated as he has been, have followed him, upon the military essentials of American security. Dent, indomitable, whether in prejudice, obstinacy, aversion to suggestion, rejection of information, has opposed every rational plan which has been sent to his committee. He is now, of course, opposed, first, to the request that congress act quickly, and, second, he suggests, to the essence of the plan, which is the lowering of the draft age so that it operates at 18 years instead of 21. It is intimated that the committee, led by Representative Kahn of California, will have to take the bill away from him if the requirements described by the government are to be fulfilled. Otherwise Mr. Dent, who says that members of the house are scattered about and cannot be brought back for immediate consideration of the bill, may succeed in creating a delay which would have the same effect as a failure to bring up reserves in an emergency. The making of the American armies is a continuous process. It must be a continuous process if the men who are fighting and winning are to be given a chance to make their fighting decisive. For this continuous process the sufficiency of available material must be guaranteed. The new draft is intended to guarantee it. The need is imperative. Action is demanded of congress at once. Delay favors the enemy. Anything that increases the time needed to produce American troops and decreases the number of troops is of big advantage to the enemy. The house of representatives must dispose of its stubborn and retarding elements without ceremony and extend the draft so that sufficient men may be provided.

Austrian Deseters Plunder Peasants After Manner of Mediaeval Days

The professor was walking down the street when accidentally he allowed one foot to drop in the dry gutter. Thinking deeply on some obscure subJect, he unconsciously continued walking 1th one foot on the sidewalk and the other in the gutter. A friend, seeing him, stopped and said: "Good morning, professor, how are you feeling this morning?" "Well," said the professor, "when I left home this morning I was feeling quite all right, but during the last few minutes I have a limp In my left leg." "What are you children doing?" asked a parent. "Playing royalty. I am a Knight of the Garter and Edwin is Saturday." , "That is an odd name for royalty." "Oh, It Is just a nickname for royalty." "Oh, it Is just a nickname on account of his title." "What is his title?" "Night of tho Bath!" "Young man, I want my gas turned off!" said the peeved person. "This isn't the gas company. This is the water office." "Well, then, turn off the water I haven't time to come all the way down here for nothing!"

Moment

No use trying to learn how to pronounce those French towns. The American troops don't stop in them long enough. Speaking of the elimination of swank, the walking sticks are disappearing from the avenue. Enough wood has been used in walking sticks to build a fleet of airships which would wipe the western front off the map.

There is only one argument against the United States jumping in and straightening out the affairs of Russia. If we do that we are liable to get Trotzky back. It is only his just due to state now, even at this late date, that Compatriot Simeon Ford is not the inventor of the flivver. We have been asked about this a great many times. It wasn't even one of his relatives who did the deed. Stories are coming in of farmers gettiug loBt in their corn fields and sending up skyrockets to guide rescuing parties. It is to be hoped some of the kaiser's numerous espionage experts are passing the news along to Berlin.

Buy a second-hand cutaway coat and black tie and go out buttling. Butlers are scare and those we see on the stage and in the movies seem to be well fed. They draw good salaries. You must wear rubber heels to avoid headaches. Headaches make for inefficiency. Genuine rubber heels are expensive, but you can find a very satisfactory substitute In the war pancake your wife makes according to the accepted recipe. A pair of these pan

To Overcome Redness, Tan, Freckles, Blotches

If your skin is unduly reddened, tanned or freckled, just dab a little puro mercolized wax on the face and allow it to remain over night. When you wash off the wax in the morning, fine, flaky, almost invisible particles of cuticle come with it. Repeating this daily, the entire cuter skin is absorbed, but so Rradually and gently, there's not the slightest hurt or inconvenience. Even the stubbornest freckles are affected. The underlying ekin which forms the new complexion is so clear, fresh and youthfullooking, you'll marvel at the transformation. It's the only thing known to nctnallv discard an atred. faded, muddy

or blotchy complexion. One ounce of

rnercolizea wax. procuraoio at any drugstore, is sufficient ia most cases.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Aug. 9. The present state ot AustriaHungary, as represented by prisoners taken lately oa the Italiaa front, is extremely serious. Mutiny and resertion in the army, and food riots and strikes among the civil population occur throughout the heterogeneous empire. According to these accounts Austria seems to be going gradually back to a reproduction of the old mediaeval days, when bands or discharged soldiers in arms roamed Central Europe, terrorizing and robbing the peasantry, and defying all authority. Scattered about in the forest and moorland there are today many little groups of outlaws, and, as in Montenegro, of mere brigands who live by plunder. Deserters from the Austrian army rally to these bands of freebooters, more especially men who have returned from long periods as prisoners of war in Russia, and find that they now are required to rejoin as soldiers. Military patrols sent against them often go over to the mutineers. There is an organization of armed fugitives from the service in Moravia, which is known as the Green Guards, and is said to be 40,000 strong, while in Hungary a sort of Robin Hood band has come into being, which calls itself the "Royal and Imperial Brigands of Bihar." These genial outlaws are already heroes of popular

ballads, and they have reserves of stolen ammunition and supplies hidden in the forests.

Centres of the settled population al

so are not free from disorder. German troops have been called in to crush Austrian and Hungarian tumults at Innsbruck, Budapest, and in Wallachia, and one of the chief sources of trouble throughout the country is the regimental depots where men are collected for dispatch to the front.

In Bohemia the civil population, too,

raids the food trains as they pass through from the Ukraine, being giv. en timely warning of their arrival by the railway officials. There were strikes at the big Skoda works in June. The wore people blew up a part of the factory and paraded through the streets. Bavarian regit ments there had to use machine guns before the strikers were crushed. A battalion on its way to the front mutinied at Innsbruck in June and locked its officers in the station, the men scattering.
