the end of the year, and this opinion
was shared by many Frenchmen.
The military commentators empha-
size the great importance of the cap-
ture of Fort de Malmaison, the key to
the whole ridge extending to Craonne.
The French from their new positions
are able to enfilade the German po-
sitions not only along the Chemin des
Dames line but at Anizy le Chateau,
and to direct their fire directly along
the valley to Laon.
According to Marcel Hutin of the
Echo de Paris, the victory brings out
five main points: First, that the en-
emy now here on the western front
has not been able to take the initiative
since February, 1916; second, the en-
emy continues in a state of inferiority;
third, he has been obliged repeatedly
to withdraw his lines between St.
Quentin and the Ailette; fourth, he has
been beaten in Flanders and obliged to
give ground; fifth, he will be forced
to resign himself to another “strategic"
movement rearward if he wishes to es-
cape disaster.

You know that pine is used' in nearly
all prescriptions and remedies for
coughs. The reason is that pine contains
several peculiar elements that have a
remarkable effect in soothing and heal-
ing the membranes of the throat and.
chest. Pine is famous for this purpose.
Pine cough syrups are combinations of
pine and syrup. The “syrup” part is us-
ually plain granulated sugar syrup.
Nothing better, but why buy it? You can
easily make it yourself in five minutes.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2% ounces
of Pinex (60 cents Worth) in a pint
bottle, and fill up with home-made sugar
syrup. This gives you a full pint—more
than you can buy ready-made for $2550.
It is pure, good and ’ very pleasant—
children take it eagerly.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
or cold in a way that means business.
The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight,
or may be persistently loose from the
formation of phlegm. The cause is the
same—inflamed membranes—and this
Pinex and Syrup combinsion will stop
it—usually in 24 hours or less. Splendid,
too, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness,
or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com-
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and is famous the world over for its
prompt results.

gist, for "2% ounces of Pinex” with di-

Dixie No. 1.
The Dixie No. 1 is showing today
only a new Butterfly picture entitled,
“49-17,” featuring Donna Drew and
Joseph Girard. This picture is the story
of a man who spent his youth in the
gold country of ’49, and made his for-
tune in the western gold fields. Old
age creeps upon him after he has
moved to the east again, and spent
the greater part of his life enjoying
his money, and he longs for the olden
days. Rich, he can afford to go back
to the scenes of his early days, and
Queen.
It would have been difficult to find
for Billie Burke a more fitting role
than that of Ruth Sherwood in her new
picture, “Arms and the Girl,” showing
at the Queen theater commencing to-
day. She is mistress of expression, of
grace and of charm, and she employs
all her witchery at times in this role,
while in other scenes'and tenser mo-
ments she proves her capabilities as
an actress of genuine ability. The story
is filled with action and adventure, and
Miss Burke will surprise many of her
followers by the manner in which she
performs acrobatic “stunts.” The role
requires much of her, and she plays
it with a relish that makes it real and
delightful to her audience. Ruth Sher-
wood is a beautiful American girl who
is caught in Belgium at the beginning
of the war and is compelled to wait in
a little village for the coming of her
fiance. There is another American
there, Wilfred Ferrers, whom she meets
once. Then she is tricked into ex-
changing passports with a Russian
girl, a spy, and when the Germans take
the town she is placed in a dangerous
position. Ferrer also has aided the
Majestic Vaudeville.
Olga DeBaughof the “Vanity Fair of
1918,” at the Grand opera house next
Sunday and Monday is about as near
peaches and cream as folks get. She
has the most adorable blue eyes, that
remind one of the old Dutch blue prints
in the Metropolitan; masses of golden
hair, and a genuine smile that follows
you home. You say to yourself, “Some
act, some girl, some beauty.” Can she
sing? You want to stay right there
and never go home; and when she
fiddles—well you can believe me or
not, but Kreisler and Elman and the
rest of those fellows have nothing on
her. They may know a little more,
but when it comes to coaxing melody
from those strings, she’s got a system
all of her own. But she is not the
whole show when it comes to the Van-
ity Fair bill. There are two others in
the act who are running her a close
second for starring honors. They are
Jack Trainor and Esther Walker. Jack
Trainor is one of those inimitable
comedians who puts his character over
in his own way and does it without
a grotesque make-up or the aid of
some one funny saying. He is a born
comedian. Esther Walker is Kentucky’s
syncopated favorite, singing a coon
song, “If You Don’t Like My Peaches
Don't Shake My Tree.”
Other acts on the bill are Harry and
Etta Conly in “At the Old Cross Roads,”
Alice Stewart and Jack Donohue in
“Naturally,” Felix Bernard and Eddie
Janis in “A Musical Highball,” and
Jed and Ethel Dooley versatile enter-
tainers.

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very

if not remedied causes the hair roots

Amsterdam, Oct. 25.—The Austrian
lower house, according to Vienna dis-
patches, has passed the third reading
of the provisional budget, not for six
months as the government demanded,
but for four months. Authority to
raise a loan of nine million kronen was
voted 227 to 170.
The minister of finance deplored •
statements made during the debate
which he said were the outcome of a

l ed vigorously. Last night the Ger-
I mans directed a heavy fire against the
7 sector between Ypres-Menin highway
I and the Ypres-Roulers railway and also
I concentrated on Abraham Heights.
I Shortly before dark last evening the
। enemy launched a counterattack against
the British to the south of Houtholst
forest, near the junction with the
I French, but this was repulsed with
machine gun and rifle fire.
The assertion in the German offi-
cial statement that the British on
Monday also attacked on both sides of
Gheluvelt and were repulsed is er-
roneous, as no such attack was made.
The report that British troops had
found a German officer who had been
executed by his own soldiers, the body
having the hands bound behind the
back, has been confirmed. The inci-
dent occurred at a redoubt south of
Poelcapelle during the recent fighting.
There were fourteen German soldiers
and young officers holding this place.
When the British troops stormed this
redoubt the German soldiers surren-
dered and the British found the dead
officer with five bullet wounds in his
body. The reason for his execution
was that the men desired to surren-
der, and he refused to give up his ,
stronghold without a struggle.
This affair is another link tending to ,
substantiate statements made by pris-
oners that the German officers com- 1
manding certain bodies of troops along
the Flanders front are losing control 1

Dr. Lewis Baker, Dear Sir:—I hap-
pened a few days ago to read The Pitts-
burgh Leader and. there I noticed your
column of questions and answers. I
also noticed that you advised those that
are suffering from constipation “to use
Sulpherb tablets, and have tried. To
my amazement it has made a new man
out of me. I have been suffering from
constipation for the last 5 years and
have tried various remedies without
avail. I am so grateful to you that
I don’t know how to thank you for it.
Would be very glad to recommend it to
anybody. Very truly yours,

British. Statesman Emphasizes Attitude
on the War.
By Associated Press.
London, Oct. 24.—Great Britain’s de-
termination to fight on until German
militarism is crushed was emphasized
today by Sir Edward Carson, head of
the war aims committee at Portsmouth,
and by Lieut-Gen. Jan Christian Smuts,
privy councillor, at Sheffield, where
they addressed meetings under the
auspices of the war aims committee.
Sir Edward Carson said the war had
entered the phase where the question
with Great Britain was “whether we
are going to prove superior in sticking
power to the Germans and our other
enemies.” He added that Great Brit-
ain could not and would not make any
peace without the concurrence and
consent of her dominions . Neither
would Great Britain enter into peace
negotiations behind the backs of her
allies.

Crystal Vaudeville.
All the kiddies in the audiences at
the Crystal theater will be delighted
with a number of scenes in “The Cour-
age of Silence,” the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature, starring Alice Joyce
and Harry Morey, which is now being
.shown there.
Cast to excellent advantage in this
heart-interest story are two little chil-
dren, Mildred and Willie Johnston.
They are, by the action of the story,
of wealthy parentage, and their nur-
sery will be sure to delight the tiny
tots as well as grown-ups.
The miniature dressing-table, vanity
mirror, beds and chairs are of a white
wood, with pictures from the nursery
rhymes painted upon them, while the
delicate pale blue rug has a border.of
bunnies, matching the border on the
wall paper. Their toys are many and
very attractive.
A swan rocker is made like a hobby
horse except that two graceful white
swans repose on eithrer side of the
upholstered blue velvet chair. Perched
on one bed is a parrot with beauti-
fully painted plumage. An owl of
wood, painted black with glassy eyes
guards the other kiddie through the
night.
And something else: the children
ing that they were going home. Four
of these were brought back to their
company as prisoners, but the officer
did not know whether any of them had
been punished. He added that this was
i not an exceptional case.
A captured officer of the guard re-
! serve division said that the morale in
Germany was bad, and that the civil-
ians were raising an outcry as to why
the war was being prolonged.
Throughout the country, he said, there
was talk of an end to the Hohenzol-
lerns and the establishment of a re-
public. The morale in his own divi-
sion, he characterized as bad.
He further said that the authori-
ties had called up the 1920 class in
Brunswick. Germany was suffering
from a serious shortage of horses and
there was a great scarcity of can-
vas, as a result of which the manu-
facture of tents had virtually ceased.
Another officer prisoner had charge
of the guard in a prison camp. There
were British, French and Russian pris-
oners there. The food was not good, he
said, and a number of deaths had oc-
curred from “hunger and typhus.”
