ALL POWERS WANT PEACE AVar Has rrocluccd-Xcw Kacts, Con ditions and Conceptions, ''and. Central Powers Xow Arc Ready for Reform. AJISTEKPAM, Oct. 3. Budapest dis patches received here .say thiit at a dinner Riven by the Hungarian Pre mier. Dr. Alexander VVekerle. in honor of Count I'zernln. the Austro-Iiun-frarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the latter, replying to an invitation to make a statement concerning hi peace policj-, said: "To Talleyrand has been ascribed the sayintr that words are friven to conceal thoughts. It may be that this -sayinjr was true with the diplomacy of his century, but for the present I can hardly conceive a phrase less accurate. "The millions who are fighting in the trenches or behind the lines wish to know why and for what they are fighting-. They have a rijrht to learn why peace, which the entire world desires, has not yet come. When I was ap pointed to my post I utilized the first opportunity openly to declare that we did not want to oppress any one, but that on the other hand we would not suffer any. oppression, and that we were prepared to enter upon peace ne gotiations as soon as our enemies ac cepted the standpoint of peace by agreement." DiMarmament Is I'rKed. Count Czernin said a plain statement of war aims was indispensable. He explained the conversion of the cen tral powers to the doctrine of disarma ment by deilaring that armaments were necessary until the world was convinced that Austria-Hungary was not a dying state, subject to dismem berment. In conclusion Count Czernin threa tened that unless peace without an nexations or indemnities immediately were accepted it would force Austria Hungary to revise its programme and seek compensation for further costs of the war. "This war tauprht us that we must reckon on a Rreat increase in former armaments," Count Czernin continued. "With unrestricted armaments the na tions could be compelled to increase ten-fold everything and the military estimates ot the great powers would amount to billions. That is impossible. It would mean complete ruin. To re turn to the armament status of 1914 would be a great reduction, but there would be no meaning in not going further and actually disarming. Hence complete disarmament is the only issue from the difficulty.... Mutual roMrcMlonx Xfmsnrr. "tiigantic fleets will' hk've no further purpose when the nations' of the worW guarantee the freedom of the seas and land armies.-will be:i reduced'- to the level required for the maintenance of internal order, jivery state.-will have to give up something of its independ ence for the purpose of insuring the world peace. "Probably ' the ; present generation will not live to see the completion of this great pacific movement. It can only be realized slowly, but I con sider it our duty to place ourselves at the head of the movement and do every thing humanly possible to accelerate its materialisation." Strongly emphasizing the necessity for naval disarmament on the high seas. Count Czernin said: "I purposely say the high seas, for I do not extend the idea to narrow seas, and I freely admit that for sea communications special rules and reg ulations must obtain. With these fac tors made clear every ground for terri torial guarantees disappears. This is the basic idea cf the beautiful and sublime note which the l'ope addressed to the whole world. If this basis Is Accepted by our enemies we can re nounce the enlargement of the Austro- Jlungarian monarchy, always provided that the enemy completely evacuates our territory."

Innumerable bombing raids have been carried out by both sides in the past few days. The bright moonlight nipthts have been especially favorable for this work, and after dark the air has been filled wfth machines from both sides which made their way far back of the linen amidst heavy shelling from the anti-aircraft (runs. Not all the heroism at the front belongs to the fighters. The men of the ambulance service do work that is as risky and sometimes more heroic In the ordinary course of the day. This photograph shows one example of the am bulance men's bravery.

Washing Won Rid Head of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan druff Is to dissolve It, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It In gently with the finger tips. - Do this tonight, and by morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how rrich dan druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive and never falls to do the work. Adv. '-MTnrtsfti 3 MONTHS SIXCK THE MOVIK BALL REUNION" NEXT SUNDAY TJ'"V w.vgw !J"? m . LONDON. Oct. 3. An attack by the Germans this morning between Tower Hamlets and Polygon wood, following a vigorous artillery fire, was repulsed, either by barrage or British infantry, according to the report from Field Mar shal Haig- tonight. All the British po sitions remained intact. CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS in FRANCE, Oct. 2 The enemy early this morning attempted to raid our lines In the Avion sector, but was discovered before he got to close quarters and driven off after sustaining a. number of casualties. The infantry activity is generally less than normal, but the sound of guns never ceases. The Ger mans are attempting more by way of destructive shots on our battery posi tions than they did earlier in the sea son, but even in this respect they are Etill far, behind the British and Cana dian gunners. There has been marked Increase In the use of long-range, hlgrh-velocity guns by t'.Ve Germans. The results cer tainly do not justify the free use of these guns. ---The enemy also has in creased the- proportion of pras shells and has sent us many varieties of gas. This may indicate that the chemicals from which poison gas is made are available in greater quantities than those required for high explosives. All the prisoners of good education now speak of the growing ecarcity of war materials and particularly of ar ticles such as rubber, cotton and cop per, which can neither be produced at home nor obtained from Germany's Eu ropean neighbors. One of the prison ers taken In yesterdays outpost af fair said that while Germany could not be conquered in the field, she would be forced to make peace because of her failure to obtain supplies. The weather Is excellent and the men in the trenches are in good health and spirits. The casualties continue ex tremely light. PARIS, Oct. 3. Violent artillery fighting continues on the Verdun front, says today's official announcement. No important infantry operations occurred during the night. - - BERLIN, via London, Oct. 3. Ger man troops yesterday captured a sec tion of French trenches 1200 yards wide on the northern slope of Hill 344, to the east of the River Meuse, in the Verdun region. It was officially re ported by the German general staff to day. ally but surely, as it is being drawn taut, the military power ot Germany is being strangled because the em bargo cuts off the supplies she had been receiving through the adjacent neutrals.

LONDON, Oct. 3. Last night's proc lamation in the Official Gazette pro hibiting the exportation to Holland and Scandinavian countries of all articles except printed matter and personal ef fects has caused the greatest puzzle ment in newspaper offices here. Owing to existing agreements for the exchange of commodities with those countries none can believe that the proclamation means what it apparently says. Some interpret its meaning to be that nothing shall be exported except under license. The English newspapers recently have been criticising officialdom for is suing statements in such complicated form that they are not understandable. The Times admits it Is unable to inter pret the meanins of this proclamation. Cornelius Anderson, age 91, and Mrs. Leonard, age 86, of Bowdoinham, Me., recently enjoyed their first automobile ride, rteinsr taken to Bath. PET ROG RAD, Oct. 3. German air attacks on Russian Baltic Sea bases and attacks in reprisal by Russian aircraft on enemy camps in Courland, are reported in today's official state ment from the War Office.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN BEL GIUM AND FRANCE. Monday, Oct. 1 (Delayed.)Among the recent exploits by British aviators there was one well worth recording, which was carried out last Wednesday, a day when several notable encounters occurred. An Eng lish airman, after crossing, the lines at an altitude of 2000 feet, saw an enemy machine and cave chase, but was driven back by five German Albatros ses. He returned toward the lines and, seeinsr 15 men on the railway, descend ed and scattered them with his machine gun. Nearby he dropped a bomb on a munition dump surrounded by soldiers and the dump blew up. Itlaj Shell Penetrates Plane.

As the British embargo excludes everything except printed matter, about the only thing that will be permitted to go to the German people by way of the neutrals will be expressions of world opinion that they should reor sanlze their system of government to do away with the military autocracy. In a figurative sense. Great Britain holds one end of the rope and the United States hoids the other. Gradu We Promise You Healthy Feet WILL your feet let you "do your bit?"
