Von Hindenburg On the War.
(New York Sun.)
It may be assumed that the Chief
of the Gorman General Staff Ints no
time to wade on interviewers. He car-
ries on his broad shoulders the desti-
nies of Germany, and his business is
to organize victory, If it can be done,
Therefore when Field Marshal von
Hindenburg talks about the war for
Publication, there Is a reason. We
fancy that the purpose of the inter-
view given to the world by the Vienna
Neue Freie Presse was the encourage-
ment of Austria-Hungary. Assisted
by hie Quartermaster -General, von
Ludendorf, who is probably the more
fluent, the Field Marshal made out
a plausible case on paper for the
triumph of the Teutonic allies. It
pivoted on th.e exhaustion of France.
"The French," "said le, "show great
tenacity, but they are exterminating
lives by their method of 'fighting." He
added that in the end "there would
be none of them left."
But what about Austria, the only
ally upon which Germany can place
any dependence? Will not the argu.
nient of extermination also apply to
tile- Austrians, beset on taaree aides by
their enemies? The population, of
Austria in 1012 was 28,905,844; that
of France the year before was 39,-
601,509. Later figures are not avail-
able. Would not the exhaustion of
Austria come first as the war is be-
ing conducted to -day? The German
Field Alarehal, be it noted, speaks only
of men, of effectives. EconOrnic ex-
haustion he does not touch on; yet he
must be aware that as compared with

France Austria le at an ominous die -
advantage in being unable to import
foodstuffs and equipment for her arm-
ies in the field.
The extermination argument seems
rather forced. Veil Hindenburg says
nothing about Great Britain's present
and continuing lessee ,and makes no
allusion to those of Germany, which
are published at Berlin and already
Lan exceed 3,000,000. The fact Is that
if emphasis le laid upon the effect
of the casualties incurred by France,
those of each group of allies must be
considered, which leads to a survey of
census statistics. Not to go deep Into
the subject, Germanya, population on
June 30, 1914, was estimated to be
67,812,000, and at the same time the
population of Great Britain and Ire-
alnd, Canada, Australia and New Zea-
land (including other constituents of
the empire) was certainly not more
than 10,000.000 less than the estimate
made for Germany. So that if Aue-
tria-Hungary, with a population 10,-
000,000 less than that of France, be
added to Germany, the two groups are
about equal. And Bulgaria and 'Euro-
pean and Asiatic.; Turkey (respectively
4,432,427 and 21,373,900), allowing for
the natural Increase in each case over
a census taken several yearo ago, and
Germany and her allies hese a total
population of no more than 125,000,-
000 to draw on.
But Russia with 178,278,800 (esti-
mated in 1914), Italy with 36,120,118
(estimated January 1, 1915), Rouma-
nia with '7,508,009 (census December
19, 1912), France with 39,601,509
(census of 1911) and Great Britain
and her colonies, before named, with
50,000,000, yield the grand total of
320,000,00 and more. The figures are
approximately correct.
• Obviously there can be no exhaus-
tion of men on the side of the 'En-
tente Allies, and certainly no exhaus-
tion of supplies, as they control the
seas. Exhaustion of finances is an.
other matter. If the Entente' Allies
can keep their war chests full, what
they may have to fear is the military
skill of the German strategists, not-
withstanding- the fact that they com-
mand armies inferior in numbers ot
those of the Entente Allies.
"We never were afraid of the Rus-
sian numerical superiority," says the
German Chief. of Staff; "we know no
numerical superiority." Brave word,
but that and a long purse are really
what the Gethians do fear.

A feev Uteri northeast Of BrIstOW,
Neb., Wires Z. T. Long, who about a
year ago went to Inspect a pasture on
his ,farin, where streams, swollen by
leeaVy rains, bad eaUsed gullies. In
one Of these gullies he was surprised
to See what appeared to be part of
the skeletou, of some enormous animal.
Be set about excavating it, but found
the job so big as to require special
a:pparatus and men specially trained in
the work it the bones were to be taken
out uninjured and properly kelit in
place. So to avoid lia,ving bI discov-
ery tramped upon by horde of cattle
lee enclosed it by a barricade and sent
word to the University of Nebraska.
Without delay two of the univer-
sity's scientific staff, Prof. Erwin IL
Barbour and C, Harold Eaton, started
for the Long farm. Work was com-
menced at once, and within two weeks
the skeleton of a new tetrabelodon,
practically complete, was discovered,
In recognition of a distinguished resi-
dent of New York, Dr. Henry Fairfield
Osborn, Prof. Barbour has named this
new proboscidean Tetrabeloden os -
born'.
In. ;brief, says Prof. Barbour,, the
skull Is that of an "unelephantlike ele-
phant." The dome is unexpectedly
low; the occiput flat, though rounding
above; the pit, small. Cranial wane
are strikingly thin, /Find the air cells

number: These do not extend to all
Parts of the skull as they do in mam-
moths and modern elephants. Further-
more, they are wanting altogether in
all portions of Me zygomatio arch.
The articulated forelimb of this crea-
ture indicates an animal little more
than seven feet in height, rhalf that of
a large mammoth. The vertebrae
seem large out of all proportion, being
equal in size to those of the mammoth.
This new species of tetrabelodon was
short legged, broad htpped, heavily
bodied and perhaps semi -aquatic In
habit. Its body must have dragged
close to the ground, adds Prof. Bar-
bour, not unlike the short legged rhin-
oceros.
The jaw is that ot an adult, but not
an aged individual, as is indicated by
the number and condition of the teeth,
which slant backwaro ana inward.
The low stature of the creature, seven
feet, and the long jaw, five feet, made
It easy to reach the ground with the
lower tusks. It was a grotesque head
on a grotesque body. A conjectural
restoration of the head drawn in out-
line appears in the American Journal

Rubber Supply Steady
While Leather]. Gets Scarcer
This Explains Low Price ,of Rubber FoOt-
wear in Spite of Increase in Cost,of
Chemicals, Fabrics and Labor,
..•
The war is using up enormous quantities, both of
leather and rubber. At the same time it is seriously
restricting the output of -,the former, much of which
came from Russia—while rubber production keeps
pace with the demand. From the great plantations
now reaching maturity in Britain's tropical Dominions
will come this year 150,000 tons of raw rubber -75%1
of the world's production„ and an increasc of oyer
40,000 tons over last year.
Thus, thanks to tlie British Government's 'foresight'
in encouraging these plantations, the Allied armies
have been abundantly supplied with all the rubber
products they need—Germany and her allies have been
cut off—and the price to the world at large has actually
been reduced. Meanwhile leather has been getting
scarcer and more expensive-Im-0% higher than in 1914
t --and the end is not yet,
Ai normal prices a pair of good shoes Cosi about
Tour times as much as a pair of rubbers—and would
last twice as long if rubbers or overshoes were worn
to protect them. Or a pair of heavy rubbers for the
farm cost much less than heavy shoes, and would stand

SHINING TRESSES.
Doctor's Suggestions About Sham-
poos and Daily Care of Hair.
Although it may not be possible or
Indeed desirable for every woman to
have tresses of Godiva-like abundance,
it is within the power of almost every-
body to have a fine head of hair or to
possess what looks like one, whether
her locks are long or short, thick or
thin, dry or oily, dark, fair or just mid -
brown. The whole secret lies in the
state of the laealth and the daily care
of the hair.
If the hair is in an impoverished con-
dition, abnormally greasy or abnormal-
ly dry, showing a tendency to become
brittle and break all short; if it loses
its color and bulk, then it is no good in
beginning any hair treatment without
first attending to the general state of
the health.
One should take sufficient exercise
and rest and correct any indiscretions
In diet. When an anaemic condition
exists a tonic often does wonders, so
will a course of cod liver oil, while raw
eggs and unboiled milk are articles of
diet which directly beautify the hair.
As to the general care of the hair, it
should be washed as often as it re-
quires cleaning. Once a week is not
too often for a very oily type of hair,
and about once In three weeks is a
good average for ordinary hair,
' If it is washed at home liquid soap
is the best thing to use. The hair
should be thorougMy wetted with
warm water, then a handful of the
liquid .rubbed in. 12 11 does not lather
at once use a little more water and
a little more liquid till the whole head
is in a perfect foam; rinse out the
lather very thoroughly, take the worst
of the moisture off with hot towels and
dry by brushing and fanning. Do not
on any account seek to dry it by the
fire.
The- daily care of the hair is most
important. It should be well brushed
every night, the scalp being first of
all treated with a rather hard brush
to stimulate the circulation and the
long hair afterward brushed with long,
sweeping strokes, two brushes with
rather long, stiff bristles being used.
This is to keep the hair clean and give
it a natural gloss.

THE WORD "LOVE."
In the Orient It Means to Like or
is Used to Express Good Will.
The word "love" has been more
highly specialized in the west than in
the east. In its proper English use
It means only that ancient, amorous
feeling which cannot be created by
will and design. In the west the
word "love" nas peen relieved of the
function of expressing the less ardent
desires, sucn as the terms "to like."
"to have good will toward" and "to be
well disposed toward" simply.
Not so in the east. The word
"like" meaning "to be favorably In-
clined toward," is not found either la
the Bible or in the Arabic tongue. In
the English version of the Bible it is
used in two places, but the translation
is incorrect. In the twenty-fifth
chapter of Deuteronomy and the sev-
enth verse, "If the male like not to
take his brother's wife," should be
rendered "if the man 'consent' not,"
and in the fourth chapter of Aneos,
the fifth vei•se, "If this liketh you, 0
ye children of Israel," is the original,
"For this ye 'loved,' 0 ye children of
Israel," In any standard concord-
ance of the Bible the Hebrew verb
aheb—to love—precedes these quota-
tions.
So to us orientals \only word
which can express and -cordial inclin-
ation of approval is "love." One
loves hie' wife and children Mid levee
• grapes and figs and meat, if he likes
these things. An employer says to
an employee, "If you 'love' to work
for Inc according to this agreement,
you can."
It is nothing uncommon for One to
say to a casual acquaintanee whom he
likes, "I must say, Sahib (friead),
that I love you!" I know of no equiv.
alent lie the Arabic for the phrase, "I
am interested in you." "Love" and
"hate" are the usual te,rms by which
to express approval and disapprOval,
as well as real love and hatred.
From all this it may be seen that

to his eottietrymen who considered all
