HUGE m INCREASE
FOR RUSSIA IS OUT
The New Military BiU Will Call
For An Immediate Increase

The new military hill will call foe un

1016 another 16.1MJ0 will be added.
Three or possibly four new army
corps will l>a organised, moai of which
ave intended for Europe und additions
will also be made to the force In the
Caucasus. Two of these new forma
tions, which will undoubtedly be center
ed at Wllna and at Kleff, will directly
face the German frontier. The third
formation la Intended to be centered at
Odessa, where it will face the Galician
trontler of Austria.
Here in Germany It is felt that the
warlike pbep.'rations on the part of Rus
sia are cnlirely unjustified. The recent
loan of four hundred million dollars
which M. Kokovtsoff obtained in France
for the development of Russian rail
ways fell dike a bombshell In official
circles here and was taken to mean an
other step In the military preparations
of the Muscovites.
Tango Fad Wearisome to
Unmarried Diplomats
London.—The afternoon tango fad Is
becoming wearisome,to the young un
married diplomats. The dowagers of
society were reluctant to take up the
new dance, but the craze has now be
come general among the old ladles,
who do not Intend to forego quickly
the new lease which it has given them
on youth. Hence the woe of the young
diplomats, for the dowagers are giving
countless afternoon dances to which
they are all invited.
It would be fatal to the social ca
reers of fthe young men to disregard
them. The diplomats are the selected
victims, not only because they are the
natural dancing men, but because
they have their afternoon free.
The dances have increased so that
many of the dlplyiats attend one
daily. One young dqilomat complains
that neither age nor weight can keep
the enthusiastic dowagers off the
floor and lie declares if he in tangoing
with a duchess weighing TOO pounds
and who in years has reached almost
the allotrd span, is not earning his
salary he would like to know why
not.

EASY TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
A Wonderful Recipe That Is
Not Sticky or Mussy—Harm
less, but Darkens Evenly.
When your hair turns gray, jwhlte,
prematurely gray, faded or thin or
fulling. try the following: On retiring,
cumb the hair free from snarls. Rub
Q-Ban on the hair and scalp like a
shampoo; use plenty of Q-Ban, as It
can't hurt you and Is not greasy or
messy but delightful to use. Be sure
It reaches the scalp and roots of the
hair. Then allow hair to fall free and
dry all night. The gray disappears
and a few more applications of Q-Ban,
like above, will darken the hair so
evenly and naturally no one can pos
sibly suspect you are using a hair coloj
restorer. In addition, the above treat
ment stops dandruff and itching of the
scalp, stops falling hair and promotes
its growth. Q-Ban Is very popular
with ladies, as It has the effect of
giving your hair that appearance of
thickness, glossiness and fascinating
beauty so much admired by all. A

ARREST INTERNATIONAL
SWINDLERS IN PARIS
Illicit Gains For Single Year
Are Estimated at Over $200,-
000; Police Issue Warrants
For Arrest.
Paris.—After an inquiry which has
lasted eighteen months and necessi
tated an immense)amount of investiga
tion, the examining magistrate, »M.
Bourdeaux has issued twenty-five war
rants for the arrest of a gang of In
ternational swindlers.
Seven members of the gang have
already been arrested, and the police
hope soon to have the remaining eigh
teen under look and key. Among those
arrested are the head of the band,
Frederick Dupont, and a man who calls
himself Baron Albert de Lantaille.
The methods of the swindlers were
simple and so efficacious that their
illicit gains for a single year are es
timated at over $200,000. Frederick
Dupont, the ringleader, had cards
printed on which he described himself
ns “expert counsel, accredited by the
great hanks and insurance eomnnnios
in France and abroad." His lieuten
ant, l.ouis Esprit, publishes and edits
a paper called the Commercial, Finan
cial and Industrial Indicator.
Advertise.
Dupont and his gang announced
through advertisements in financial
journals and elsewhere that they were
ready to advafici nds on easy terms
to manufacturers and others who were
temporarily in need of money to ex
tend their businesses. To those who
applied they answered that they were
perfectly ready to advance the funds,
but must first send down an expert
auditor to examine the books and re
port on whether the security offered
was sufficient. This perfectly natu
ral request their clients agreed to un
suspiciously. *
The expert appeared, examined the
bonks, and collected a fee of anything
from ss(l to $2,000. Natural'y, he al
ways found some flaw in the affairs
of the business or compand which
made It impossible for him conscien
tiously to advise the capitalists to ad
vance the required funds. The whole
swindle had such a bona fide air about
it that It took the examining magis
trate almost two years to obtain con
vincing proof that It actually was a
swindle.

College Athlete Scored;
Is Not a Good Student
New York. —President Richmond of
Union College in an address on the
present methods of athletic training
and management in American colleges
stated that the idea of broad training
ami scholarship, was rappidly being
lost sight of in the present methods
of specialisation. He spoke of the
ancient Greeks, who were equally pro
ficient in athletics and scholarship,
saying:
“It is not so today, as athletes
are managed in our American colleges.
The average college athlete is not a
good student, and the whole system of
training, for the high-class athlete,
is adapted to produce a low-class
student, if not a low-class man. 1
believe In athletics. There is nothing
that has contributed more to raise
the general tone of college life in the
last generation than a wholesome in
terest in athletics. The development
of winning teams, however, is anotlire
question. It is not only extravagant,
but unwholesome and often degrad
ing.”
SURE OF HIMSELF.
"You're terribly severe in your re
ligion, Donald. I suppose you think
we’re all going to perdition, and no
body will be saved but you and your
minister.”
"I'm not so sure of that.” said Don
ald. thoughtfully. ‘‘Ye ken, I whiles
line me doots about the minister." —

DON’T GROW BALD
It’s Quite Needless. Nourish
the Hair Roots Remove
Dandruff—Use Parisian
Sage—
If your, hair is getting thin, losing
color, or has that matted, lifeless and
scraggy appearance, the reason is evi
dent—dandruff and failure to keep the
hair roots properly nourished. These
are the main causes of baldness or dry,
brittle and unsightly hair.
Parisian Sage applied dally for a
week and then occasionally, is all that
Is needed. It is a scientific prepara
tion that supplies hair needs. It gets
to the hair roots, nourishes them, and
furnishes the elements necessary to
make It grow. It removes dandruff
with one application; almost Immedi
ately stops falling hair and itching
head; cleanses, cools and invigorates
the scalp. Equally good for men, wom
en or children everyone needs It.
Parisian Sage not only saves the hair
but beautifies It. Thin, dull, stringy
hair is made soft, abundant and radi
ant with life.
This delightful and refreshing hair
tonic can he had at any drug or toilet
counter In 50-cent bottles only. Get
a bottle at once—use It every day for
a week and you will be surprised with
the result. Delighted users say Paris
ian Sage is the best and most invig
orating hair tonic made
