Theéy and other prisoners from the camp at Rastatt have little faith in the change of tone of the Germans and treat the communication as sim- ply another insincere and treacherous piece of propaganda. It consists of a message of the commander of the prisoners’ camp of Villingen, Baden, to the American officers on their de- parture to France, on Tuesday, No- vember 26, and is as follows: “Sooner than you expected, your day of liberation has arrived. In a short time you will be back again with your own dear people in Amerl- ca. Tell them that the German peo- ple has no more grievance against them. Germany does not consider it- self as conquered but as conquering, .as you can see by the troops cuming back from the front, because it has now its own liberty. “Now it ix your turn to give the German people a Jjust peace in the peace terms which will give them 1lib- erty, to live jastly and peacefully with the world at large and whicl®will leave us no hate to again disturb the peace of the world. “We hope that you- will reach your hom. =afely and find everyone in good health, “I again request you not to part from Germany with hatred against us and to Influence ycar people to look upon Germany as It is now, not as It has been judged, perhaps justly, up to the present time. 8 “The new Germany has the desire to live in perfect peace with its recent 80 enemies, but in the same manner claims an honorable peace which will give her the possibility to live as promised by Prestdent Wilson, “Again hapy returns home.” “Do you remember how we used to scold Josh about oversleeping before he went into the army?” said Mrs. Corntossel. “Yes,” replled the farmer; “that’s why we can’t say a word when he gets up at daybreak and accompanies the roosters on his cornet,” AND ENERGY People who have poor appe- tite, bad color, indigestion and biliousness are usually victims of constipation. Constipation causes an enormous amount of sickness. Hollister’s Mountain Tea, taken before go- ing to bed, will relieve your constipation, restore your ap- petite, and bring the glow of youth to your cheeks. You will work’ better and live happier. A large package (only 35c¢), will put you on the road to health and happiness. City Drug Store Thos.

Vekroff Photographed by Edward Earle. SHORT REVIEW The story which was written by the past master of drama, Paul Potter, author of “Trilby,” ‘Arsene Lupin,” and other famous stories which have been pre- sented on both stage and screen, is decidedly the most exciting of all Mr. Potter’s works. “A Woman’s Experience,” even though it deals with the problems of married life in exclusive society, is unlike any story you have ever read or seen, and in its development presents many new and thrilling situa- tions. Although intensely dramatic and even tragic at times, the delightful romance and the search for hap- piness which is ultimately found, prevents “A Woman's Experience” from ever reaching the depressing stage. On the contrary, it has a’charm and interest that will delight any audience and send them away happy. It is truly one of the very great plays of the screen, and it is earnestly urged that you avail your- self of the opportunity to see it while here. this week.
