Review of War
United States Standpoint
By Bond F. Geddes.
Washington, Dee. 29. An epochal
year in United Htntcs' relations with
the world family of nations marked
3913. Serious crises murked the
twelvemonth; and more threatened in
3916. This nation passed safely
through the vortex of tno world war
and the tangled skein of war polities,
though often very near severing rela
tions with European powers. Its peace
lias been threatened from within and
without.
The country faces in the new year
more delicate' problems, including new
and old disputes with Europe's bellig
erents. The killing of over 100 Americans on
the high seas, destruction, seizure and
attacks upon American vessels, ruth
less confiscation of American property
and interference with American com
merce; dismissal of foreign diplomats,
resignation of its own Secretary, of
State, and European criticism of its
neutrality were the outstanding events
of 1915 in American world diplomacy.
Peaceful settlement of the dispute
with Austria over her attack upon the
3talinn liner Ancona, with England
over her trade interferences, with Ger
many over tho Lusitnnia incident and
with the Teutonic powers over un
neutral conspiracies in this country
were the quartet of dominant and deli
cate problems facing us in 11118.
Red Letter days on the 1915 calen
dar were:
March 15, England's blockade of
Germany; May 7, Sinking of the Lus
itanin; .Tune 9, Secretary Bryan's res
ignation; August 39, Sinking of the
Arabic; September 10, Recall of Aus
trian Ambassador Diunbn; October 4,
Half billion loan to the allies; Novem
ber 9, Sinking of tho Ancona; Decem
ber 3, Hecall of German Cupts. Boy-ed
and Von Papcn.
These and numberless other entangle
ments of the war caused Uncle Sam to
Tweak all records in diplomatic note
writing. Hundreds of notes were Bent.
The chief year's diplomatic victory
was the-enforced modification by Ger
many of her submarine warfare.
Today the United States Btnnds with
increased power and prestige, but still
weighted with the task of perfecting
Jcaceful settlements with England,
'ranee, Germany and Austria in most
delicate and difficult complications.

That Is Unconfirmed Rumor

FORD IS BETTER
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 29.
Henry Ford, who devised the
idea of ' getting the boys out
of the trenches by Christmas"
but quit his peace party just
before the holiday, is "feeling
better and enjoying the trip"
according to a wireless today to
his private secretary here, the
first direct word in nearly a
week.
By Charles P. Stewart.
Stockholm, Dec. 29. Madame Eosilta
Sehwimmer, Hungarian peace advocate,
and moving spirit in the Ford peace
cruise plans, has abandoned the party,
according to unconfirmed reports cir
culated today.
Ellis Jones and Florence Holbroolc, of
Chicago, left the party last night pre
sumably to go to Copenhagen to ararnge
for reception of the peace delegates
there.
For several days, Madame Sehwimmer
has been in conference with some un
identified ngentB. In addition to this
mysterious coincidence, it was rumored
that she had quarreled with Ford when,
ill and broken, he announced to her his
intention of returning to America.
Tho rumors, however, wcro largely
discounted by a receipt of a telegram
from Mine. Sehwimmer, saying she had"
arrived at Copenhagen and was arrang
ing for the party there.
As to the report that she had aban
doned the expedition, Manager Plnintiff
said today, "if she has quit, I do not
know it, and I do not believe the story
is true. She will rejoin us at Copen
hagen." Delegates were cheered today by re
ceipt of a telegram from tho editor
of the Copenhagen Politiken giving as
surance that they will be heartily wel
comed at Copenhagen. But, as far as is
known, Denmark has not withdrawn
her nntcr that the Ford delegates shall
not hold public meetings in that na
tion. As plans now stand, the party will
go to Copenhagen Thursday.
Tho party is up in arms in its anger
against Minister Morris because he re
fused to wiro Washington a request to
extend their passports so that the)

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a 50
cent bottle of " Wyeth 's Sage and Bui
phur Compound," which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been ap
plied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
siops scaip itcning and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,

By morning the gray hair disappears;

T. M. Smock of Idaho announced

however, that any desertions there
will not be important.
