not oreryone realizes that it is be

machinery of the greatest water

.Merchant) ships under several
flags hare already passed through
the canal, a Peruvian war vessel '
used the new waterway the other
day. Ships ^lly; loaded have gone
from one ocean te thj other. They
have been able to make the trip
without the least difficulty. Weeks
have become hours in passing
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
or from the western ocean to the
eastern.
would any other nation na\e

none at all—in turning its vast
achievement oyer to the world's
use? Would any other counbry

•DETAINED' IN* AUSTRALIA
When dispatcher come from
England, France or Russia telling
of tho seizure of German or Aus
trian merchant vessel* taken unex
pectedly in ports their captains hail
supposed to be friendly, there is no
smoothing over the fact that the
ships are made the prey of the
powers that take possession of
them, They are spoken of as
prizea and often the value of the
v >66fcla and their cargoes is esti
mated as part of the spoils of war.
But in far-off Australia they tell
of the German merchant vessels
which have been "detained"' in
Australian ports. Tbey are not
spoken "of as property of the
enemy seized for the benefit of the
British treasury, it is evidently
not easy for the Australians 10
talc* a hostile attitud-j toward the
shipping which they have be<>n
glad to welcome to their wharves.
It is doubtless au outcropping
of the inexperience of the antip
cdeans in the gentle art of war
They have been so l°ng accustom
ed to be glad when European ships,
whether under the uerman n»g or
uot, came to their ports that they
have temporary difficulty iu looking
upon these Tassels loaded with the
merchandise of peaceful commerce
as hostile and pernicious crafe to
be seized, condemned and confiscat
ed.
But ail the colonies involved In
the war will learn In time. They
may be quite European and quite
professional in their outlook on
International conflicts, before the
restoration of peace
With so many uniforms In the
field. It would not te surprising if
the allies occasionally mistook one
another for Germans.
Then, too, government owner
ship of a $25,000,000 American
merchant marine would stimulate
Interest In maritime affairs among
democrats.
Canadian women who will not
let thalr husbands go to war evi
dently consider them better pro
viders than the dominion.
And why not direct Mr. Mc
Reynolda to Investigate the report
that Georgia cotton growers have
agreed not to sell for less than
twelva centa a pound?
But why the insuperable objec
tion to baring some one on the
federal shipping board who kno^s
Something jibout shipping? j
At any Tate, Italy is living up
to the triple alliance agreemeut us
implicitly as tlio Wilson adminis
tration is living UP to the Balti
more platform.
And what, from the White House
viewpoint, is the precise difference
between lending Europe money and
selling her wheat?
And if the war in Kurope out
runs the news, the war on the food
price raisers in this country falls far
behind the advance notices.
Could any war picture be more
perio-comic than thsJ. of Mr.
Chauncey II. Depew sitting on a
flat car at Dieppe for nine hours
in the rain?
It Is to be hoped Mr. Kipling
will take cognizance of the fact
that most or the deadly work is
still being done by tho male of
the species.

Lindsay. Mont. — "I started to wt emit
bi« blotches round my neck oud I did not
think very much about it at irst, but they
commenced Retting worse all the Uaie and
such an intense Itching, it never gave me a
minute's rest. The pimp!os were red and
would swell. From ltchiug. and scratching
them so it caused them to spread; there
would be sores from scratching them so
intensely. My face and neck were covered
with pimples It looked as if my whole
face was in one solid rash or sore, and I was
nearly crazy with itching and burning. At
night they would be very bad so I hardly
could sleep. My face was, I must say. in
one raw sore. I nearly gave up all hopes of
ever getting like myself.
M bought a few bottles of some good blood
medicine but without help. My poor face
did not get any better. I had heard so much
about Cuticura Soap and Ointment I
thought I would try them. So I bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one uox of Cuti
cura Ointment and started to use them and
followed the directions as closely as I could
To my surprise only a few application:'
stopped the Itching and scratching and it
a couple of weeks' time my face was nearly
well. I kept on using the Cuticura Soap

was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs
