'.How long the military machine can throw democracy to-the Slaughter ia an im portant point. Certainly not long, if the coat continues to; be high and the ultimate ends unachieved." 1 I Following are the concluding paragraphs of the dispatch: "There are not lacking expressions of astonishment at the tre mendous resistance the great German masses have met with, liaron yon Ardenne, in the Berliner Tageblatt, eulogies the fine spirit, and self-aacrifice of the English artillery' in covering the retreat. The artillerymen remained, he aaya, till within rifle range to protect the infantry, and only then thought of safety for themselves. J English and French cavalry, he adds, vied with the artillery in a spirit of self-sacrifice which must be. recognized. j "There is another curious thing about German public; opinion these days. That is the deep impression made by the memoranda of Lichnowsky and von Jagow.. They have been discussed almost as much 'as the offensive, and while the offensive has been on the readers of many papers had put before them articles bitterly com plaining of German diplomacy before the war, and even going as far as can be expected towards an admission that England did not really cause the war after all. A member of the Reichstag: laments in the Vossisehe Zeitung that the German Government was silent in the face of numerous speeches made by Entente statesmen, j ; "In short, I think I am right in. the belief that German public opinion is' in such, a condition that if the offensive is held up peace would be venr near."

Nlemeyer, First Canadian Engineers, In a letter to his brother Lieutenant C. W. Nel meyer of this city, late of the Canad ian army, says In part: "Yes, I guess Vlmy was a little more exciting than Ypres. For-a month, day and night, before we look Vimy, tbe earth was all a tremble with a ceaseless bombardment. 1 thought the Somme pretty bad. but Vimy took tbe cake. But what made It worse for us, Fritz- was on the hill and he could see all our trenches, till at last we bad such a wonderful sys tem of underground passages he did not know where we were.

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 mulslfled cocoanut oil. for this la pure and entirely greaseless. It's rery cheap, and beats the most ex pensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. Yon can get thla at any drug store, and a few ounces will last tbe whole family for months. Simply moisten tbe hair with wa ter and rub It in. about a teaspoonful la all that la required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The. hair dries quickly and evenly, and la sort, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to nsn dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandrnff. bullets, and 1 came tbrougti O. K. till way down tbe C.T. (communica tion trench) when Fritz threw over a 11.14.

Just a little wet snd cold, but I did n't mind tbst. I knew t was bound for Blighty (England) and you know what that feeling la. 1 am now read to go back." rtergesnt Nlemeyer wrote Just prior to leaving for tbe front again.
