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....

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."

InX)NT, Oct. S. A crowd of poor
people In the southwest district of
Ijondon yesterday appealed to Premier
Lloyd George, says the Daily Mail, for
reprisals against Germany for the air

to the crowd:
"We will give It all back to them
nd we will give it to them soon. We
shall bomb Germany with compound

The crowd cheered the promise of the
Premier wildly. The Premier had Just

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

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.

taut, the military power ot Germany
is being strangled because the em

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.

Leonard, age 86, of Bowdoinham, Me.,

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. No impor
tant land operations have occurred. The
statement reads:
"On the Baltic Sea Monday night the
enemy undertook several air raids on
Oesel, dropping a few bombs which set
fire to one of our magazines. i.xpio
sions followed.

Several officers and sailors who were

reprisals our aircraft dropped bombs

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.

move in tightening the cordon which
slowly but surely is killing the military
power of Germany.
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.
