GERMANS MASSING (Continued from page one) tie -menace of a Swiss 'eroiuiion end Hiudeuburg's offensive i" CONCENTEATION CAUSED BY AMERICAN ARMY of hostilities might overwhelm Switzer land has since been followed by the in creasing despatch of German troops to that region. It is there that the allies front most nearly approaches the Rhine, wlacti is about 15 miles distant. If Von Emdenburg orders an offen sive nar the Bwisii frontier, his sole object would be to try to force back the allies' line before General Pershing is fully prepared to strike. Apart from this, there is nothing that could result from such an offensive, which would be in any way commensurate with. Ger many's heavy casualties. It would be a risky proceeding for Von Hindenburg to take the initiative near the Swiss area, even to try to safeguard the Shine 'from American oc cupation. Von Hindenburg is in the un enviable position of not knowing defin itely whether General Pershing 'really intends making a drive close to Swit zerland. The American secttion of the French front centers at present at Xiv ray, which is 150 miles north of the Swiss border. If General Pershing moves forward from Xivray his objective will probably be Metz and not the Rhine at all. The fall of Metz would be brought appreciably nearer if Von Hin denburg had previously caused his re serves to be slaughtered in useless of fensives to save the Rhine, at a point far from tho main American position. German troops, near Switzerland aro keeping the Swiss uneasy but they are being kept far more uueasy themselves by the seerecy which is successfully veil ing General Pershing's forthcoming of fensive. . WAR MATERIALS (Continued from page one) must go, Gay said, was "just a guess'. As for tiie eventual effect of the pro gram on neutrals the government ex pert could not say at this time. "The great bulk of needed ton nage," ho said, "must be furnished by thinning down the trade in allied owned bottoms. The neutral shipping problem is most complicated. The thing for Americans to think about now is not what the other fellow can furnish, but what we can furnish. And to this end, the conception of ' neces sides in this country will change greatly as tho groat war goes on." HALOID PAINS By J. W. T. Mason (Written for the United Press) New York, Feb. 13. America's rapid ly growing army along the Alsace-Lorraine border is responsible for Ger many's heavy concentration of troops near tho awiss frontier described in ' "William Philip Simms dispatch to the: .United Press. j The Swiss government recently re quested the United States to give as- j surances that Swiss neutrality would not ' b violated by General Pershiug's for ces. The United States replied that if Germany end Austria respected the neu trality of Swiss territory, so would Am erica. This plain intimation that the area 000 tons and this year they will be further cut to 26,000,000 and consist almost entirely of war materials. 1 "That's why I say England has stripped to the skin and America must, at least shed her coat,' ' he said. "We hear frequent complaints that there is profiteering in Great Britain. There may be individual cases there, as in every other country but they are isolated cases. "It is complained that England is exporting luxuries, such as clothes- But she must make some effort to main tain a trade balance for if Engbsh credit goes the allies are gone. "So the English are exporting goods which take up tho smallest tonnage possible and yet net the largest finan cial return." Just how much imports must be cut has not yet been determined. The es timate that at least 50 per cent must Give Way, to Seothlns Wizard OH OamHn'a Hamlin's Wizard Oil is a safe and effective treatment for headache and neuralgia.

His ability as an organizer and har- monizer caused him to be placed at the head of the state republican committee after two years service among the rank ana tile. He took office at a time when tho Dartv in the Uinta w on the rocks of progressiveism and the democrats were ia complete control of HiO BltUUtlUU. Under Hays leadership the strength of the party slowly grew until in 1916 the republicans overthrew the democratic supremacy, delivered the state to Hughes and elected two republican Un ited States senators to replace two dem ocrats. It was on the strength of that record that Hays friends relied, in the contest for national chairman oro A-3yyv.a'7-.S'Oo-s. COMING TO THE LIBERTY THEATER FRIDAY,.

Mr. Adams showed the proper party spirit. Mr. Hays is an acceptable, efficient man" Governor James P. Goodrich, Indiana: "Mr. Adams showed a fine soirit in withdrawing and demonstrated that hoi placed his loyalty to the party above any personal interest. It means the com plete nnion of the republican party with every one satisfied." Committeeman Fred Stanley, Kansas: "I think Mr. Adams' action will meet the entire approval of the party. Hays will make a splendid chairman." 4 EatWisely-WcII Without Waste GrapeHuts being part barley is a wheat savei: Needs no sugar. Not An Atom Of Waste MOVIE STARS WILL PAY U1LLI0NS FOR WARFARE Mary Pickfcrd Will Pongle Up $239,000 aid Other Ce!e britfjs ia Proportion Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 13. Millions from the "movies" for America, is the maxim of such of filmdom's fore most stars as Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Treda Bara, William S. Hart and other cinema cel ebrities. Called upon by the government for payment or taxes, war and otherwise, they are preparing to pour into the war chest of the nation a sum that will make some of the money barons' tax receipts surink Dy comparison. Easily over-a million dollars will be paid by only a few of America's picture players, it was learned today when fig ures gathered by the United Press from the stars themselves, showed a total running into nine figures. Leading the list is Douglas Fairbanks, whose in come tax and excess profits tax, to gether with other taxes levied by the government is $450,000. Fairbanks' sec retary announced the figures after con sulting with the United States Tax Col lector Carter. Mary Pickford hands Uncle Sam her check for $230,000, levied on her 1917 earnings as income tax, war income tax, excessive profits tax, surtax and other members of the tax ramily since Ho- henzollernism came to be the thing to be democratized at whatever the cost. If 1918 figures were counted Char- Chaplin passes the government $100, over half a million dollars. Based on 1917 income, on which tax is levied, Chaplin passes tre government $100, 000. This figure, his secretary insisted on explaining, was due to Chaplin being idle a number of mouths of the year when he completed a contract in mid year and then devoted his time to build ing his studio. Theda Bara, whose secretary admits pays "an enormous" income tax, is reticent about actual figures, neverthe less. ; , " It is not a matter on which the pub' lie should bo informed," she believes, and is echoed by lesser lights. . Colored Man Shot Wife and Suicided Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 13. Jessie Mc- Conicoe, colored, shot his wife, Nora, three times early today with a large revolver and" then turned the .weapon on himself, ending his life. Mrs. Mc Conicoe is in the county hospital and is not expected to live. The McConicoes had been separated for some time. Me Conicoe had been employed in Seattle for some time. He came from Seattle by automobile early this morning and invited his wife to drive with him. They had gone but a short distance when McConicoe told his wife that he intend ed to kill her. The woman leaped from the car and ran into a cigar Btore. Her husband followed her and fired three shots into her body, then turned tho gun oa himself.

Thompson for Peace St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 13. Mayor Wil liam Halo ThomisoD of Chicago, re publican national committeeman from Illinois, offered a resolution to the committee late yesterday in which he called upon the party to exert its in fluence that the pcple "may be up held in their proper freedom to discuss the objects of the existing war." Tho resolution was referred to the resolution committee. It cited the power of congress to de clare war and continued: "But as a restraint upon this power tho constitution expressly limits the life of the appropriations of money to that use for a term not to exceed wo years with the manifest intention of vesting in the people the final voice as to the wisdom and purposes of their own conflicts and policies relating thereto." The committee is further called up on to use its influence for "free dis cussion as to the eomoletcness of prcp araltoo and equipment, the efficiency of the war's oondnr-t, the adequate ness of national defense, the expense in money and men confronting us and the terms upon which they are willing to conclude a fast, honorable and en during peace."

Locomotive en gineers are volunteering for tank ser vice in France. At tho request of Sec retary Baker, names of 400 locomotive engineers, willing to risk their lives to roll the big catapillars across No Man's Land were furnished by W. 8. Store, i president of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Lngiueers, it was developed today before the federal wage commission. "Engineers are as patriotic as any Americans," Stono declared, "and wo will sacrifice our last dollar and our last drop of blood if necessary. "When the government took ovor tho railroads I advised against any con certed wage movement. We realized that the crisis of the war was approaching and we did not want to jeopardize train service." Never before had railroads made so little preparation for winter operations, Stone declared in discussing the pres ent chaotic conditions. He injected a plea for the lower paid railroad em ployes. "Engineers are the highest paid of railroad employes," ne said. "And though they ask the same consideration in wage increases as are given other em ployes, they realize that the greatest wage increase should go to the low paid men." .ix minimum wage of $6 a day with ALKALI MAKES SOAP BAD FOB WASHING HAIR ' ' ' Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too inui-h alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plaiu mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. it's very cheap, and beats tlio most expensive soaps or ttiiything else all to pieces You can get this nt any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teospoonful is all that is required, it makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses horoughtiy, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and even ly, and is soft, fresh locking, bright, llufly, wavy and easy to handle. Be sides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust dirt and dandruff. Buffalo Is Flooded by Rah and Thaw Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 13. Rain and melting snow flooded more than a square mile of the city today. The I water in more than twenty streets float- j ed furniture around on tho first floor of hundreds of homes and rowboats be- j came the only means of transportation.' At Woodland Beach early today, near- j ly 100 fishermen were rescued from an ice floe which had broken loose frotf ! the south shore of Lake Erie. Five of; the fishermen who were adrift on a small floe were brought in by the coast guard in a power boat. 1 ROSTEIN & GREENBAUM Nice Dress Ginghams neat patterns, good' quality, Yard 19c Sheets , 81x9f 75c Bleached Table Cloth Yard 29c Ladies' ' Umbrellas " good values, well selected, nice new ' Handles ' $2.75, $2.50, ' $2.25, $2, $1.90, $1.75, $1.50, -$1.25, $1.00 Boys' Khaki Color ' Shirts 50c Men's Corduroy Pants -$2.50 Boys' Blue Serge Suits $4.50 Men's Union Suits $1.40, $1.15 Ladies' Wool Raincoats, Bargain Prices.

Stone vigorously denounced tho ac tion cf railroads in employing women to wipe engines, Bhovol coal and do track work. "England only did it after three years of war," Stone said, "and oven they were placed at iiiBidc positions. Wo started this tho first thing while there were thousands of men to draw from." Stone attacked the railroads for for bidding employes to hold public of fice. Stone in complaining of tho long hours of service stated that 20 and 30 hours continuous service was common nnd that he. had known engineers to be held sixty five nnd even seventy hours. "Last year there were a total of 101, HOG cases where men worked moro than 1(5 hours a day," Stone said. "There is only one remedy for this, penalty overtime-" The phrase "aristccrats of labor" applied to locomotive engineers is mis leading and was circulated by the rail roads as propaganda, Stone said. The averago monthly wage of locomotive engineers is about $142, he said. "The railroads today would force us down to the level of unorganized labor if they could," he declared "We have, by hard work, forced our way up to where we now, at least, com mand the respect."
