Chief Robinson Would Keep Foreigners Off Reservation (Correspondence of The Associated PrM.) Panama, Jan. 25.-rCharley Hbbin son, chief of the San Bias Indians, has proposed to President Valdes that his people be given a reservation, from which all foreigners are to be excluded. In practice the San Bias have maintained their territory to themselves, not allowing outsiders to remain in their villages overnight. This custom has become a source of friction with the authorities of the republic of Panama and -with for eigners who are interested in trade and plantation developments. The chief's proposition aims -at securing recognition of the right of his peo ple to live to themselves, at the same ttmt conceding the authority of Pan ama in all of the San Bias territory outside the reservation.' The proposed reservation ia an area about seventy miles square, which is about one-twenty-fourth of the' total -area of Panama. Charley Robinson is a name of the chief's own adoption. One of the customs of the San Blaa is to give their children temporary names which thev may ahed with their milk teeth and adopt their own permanent des ignations. Robinson pays rather fre quent visits to Panama City, on which he calls in state on the president at tired in a Diue unitorm and accom pamed by two body servants. His idea of the reservation was given him by an American, who cited the Indian reservations of the United States. It is said , that the government of ranama is inclined to co-operate with him in working out his scheme.

MARTIN YCHAS SPEAKS (Correspondence of The Aepoclaled Press.) London, Dec. 25. Lithuania, a re gion on the Russo-German Bailie freater in extent and population than weden, has had its aspirations stirred by the war and is looking for ward to emerging from it either as ap independent republic patterned on American lines, or as an autonomous nation with its own parliament and nome rule, suhject to Kussia s impe rial authority only in matters of na tional defense. This was the view outlined to the Associated Press by Martin Ychas, member of the Russian Duma, where he represents the important Lithuan ian city of Kovno, and occupies the post of secretary of the finance com mittee. Mr. Ychas is conferring here with the large Lithuanian colony, following similar visits just made in the United States. . No Part of Poland. "It should be understood," said Mr, Ychas. "that Lithuania is entire ly distinct from Poland, although the public is in the habit ot treating them as one. Poland is the great .central region around Warsaw, whereas Lithuania and the Lett country is the vast northern section along the Baltic with the great oorts of Kin. L bau and Windau, and the cities of Vilna, Grodno, Kovno and Suwalki, aggre gating 8,000,000 population, or more than any of the secondary kingdoms of Europe." Like Poland. Lithuania has its own hopes and aspirations," continued Mr. ichas, and with my colleagues in the Duma we have already se cured the acceptance in principle of complete political autonomy for Lithuania. This means home rule the same aa Canada, with a Lithuanian cabinet and Lithuanian parliament and with Lithuanian delegates in the im- erial Duma and a Lithuanian viceroy rom the czar. There are unofficial hopes going far beyond this, partic ularly among the Lithuanians in the United States. But officially we took to autonomy as the hrst step to re storing Lithuania as a nationality. In the Duma the controling authority, the constitutional democrats, or Cadet party, has accepted in principle auto nomy for Lithuania, and it was by Cadet votes that I, as a Lithuanian, was elected secretary of the finance committee. 9 America's Sympathies. "In Ameica. however. I found a strong movement lor securing com plete Lithuanian independence and setting up a Lithuania-Lett republic. Our native press in America is very strong for independence. They look to the entente allies to secure this as one of the results of the war, holdiag that England entered the war in de fense of small nationalities. These, however, are unofficial hopes for the future, and all that I can officially as sume is that complete autonomy and home rule for Lithuania is an ac cepted principle of the ruling authori ties in the Duma. The imperial gov ernment has not yet spoken, pending invasion of Lithuania by Germany, stored the government will undoubt edly approve the autonomy already agreed to in principle by the Duma. Mr. Ychas says Russia has consid erably improved political conditions in Lithuania in recent years. Formerly the holding of lands by Lithuanians was prohibited; the press was prohi bited! all Lithuanian books, including the Bible, were prohibited; holding office was prohibited. All this has been changed, Mr. Ychas says, and there was a fair degree of freedom under Russian rule up to the time of the German invasion. There were fourteen Lithuanian representatives in the first and second Dumas, and five in the third and fourth Dumas. Many In America. It was during the .old period of restricting that so many Lithuanians went to the United States,", added Mr. Ychas, "reaching 30,000 year from 1909 to the outbreak of the war, and aggregating 700,000 in large colonies throughout the United States with thirtv newspapers and their own clubs, theaters and societies. But the Lithuanians in America are es sentially Americans. They have found better social and economic conditions; thev own their home, direct their own business, enjoy political liberty and 100 BOXES of WATER COLORS r H 1 1 Asa Special Prise to 100 Children who color this picture the most artistically, we will give, a box of Water Color Paints.

In a let ter read at a luncheon to the officers of the Irish Canadian rangers on their visit here. John Redmond quoted sta tistics to show the large number of Irishmen who had enlisted in the army outside of the Irish regiments. J. he Irish leader said: "From Ireland itself, according to the latest official figures, 173,772 Irish men are serving in the navy and army, representing all classes and creeds among our people. "From careful inauiries made through the cbjurches in the north of Ireland and Scotland, from the casu alty lists, and from other sources, the calculation has been made on high authority that at least 150,000 sons of the Irish .race, most of them born in Ireland itself, have joined the col ors. "In Great Britain it is a pathetic circumstance that these men are al most forgotten except when their names appear in the casualty lists of non-Irish regiments. Some of the Irish papers have for a considerable time past been publishing day by day special casualty lists under the head ing "Irish Casualties in British Regi ments.'" Mr. Redmond was unable to ner- aonatly greet the Rangers, being con fined to his home partly through ill ness and the shock of his daughter's death in New York. , Price of the Illustrated English Magazines Raised (Correspondence of The Associates Press.)

KING IS EVER WATCHFUL (Correspondence of The Associated Pres.) j With the Belgian Army, Belgium, I Dec. 20 The pride of the Belgian troops in holding back the Germans irom further encroachment on Bel gian soil is observable immediately one enters the sector occupied by King Albert's troops. Determina tion to prevent any advance by the Germans and the will to push back the invaders when the time is ripe are evident everywhere.

Water . under fUOKIIKIll, 11,1 l.l .IIVIIIVUI, foot, thick mists making the atmos pherc heavy and preventing obscrva tion, and cold rain falling in a con tinuous penetrating downpour make action almost impossible. Out in the front lines, after a long tramp over board walks across sodden fields and irrigation channels, the cor respondent saw the Belgian soldiers keeping their constant vigil, clothed in heavy woolen coverings and oil cloth raincoats and high rubber boots. Here and there a sentinel stood look- ing out over the mile or so of water covering the space between the Bel gian and the German lines, dimly" visible in the distance. No barbed wire entanglements are possible here; their place is taken by seawater. Which, by the cutting of dikes, has been per mitted to flow where it wills, although it renders the land uncultivable for twenty years. The crack of an occasional rifle shot, fired from one side or the other when a guard imagines some move ment in the opposing lines, was dulled by the heavy air, and sometimes near but generally far off was heard the roar of an aerial torpedo. It is impossible at any point of the Belgian front to excavate a trench, for each spadeful of earth taken out is at once replaced by a hole full of water. In place of trenches the only way to form a protectfve line for the infantry occupying the front lines is to construct shelters of sand-filled canvas sacks and this has been de veloped into an art by the Belgian troops. For four days at a stretch the same men remain without relief at the front under these distressing conditions, but there is no complaint for the men are mostly hardy peasants or laboring men who have had to combat the Belgian climate all their lives. Harships which for troops prove insupportable, are borne by them with cheerfulness. King Albert, who lives near the actual fighting line, pays an almost daily visit to some part of the front. The queen, too, remains on Belgian soil, and when not engaged on hospi tal work is often seen walking along among the soldiers when they are en joying . a short respite from active service. Everywhere there are evidences of America's aid to the Belgian wounded and to refugees from the interior who insist on remaining on the small por tion of Belgian soil still left to them. American ambulances are often seen along the routes. 1 Wasting Food in London Is Serious Offense Now (Correspondence of Ths Associated Press.) London, Ian. 30.

CO-OPERATE WITH CITY New York, Feb. 24. Relief is now in sight for. the poor of New York City who have been suffering from the high price of food. Spurred by riots, boycotts and mass appeals, the city government and wealthy citizens have taken action designed not only to ease the present situation, but pro vide for the future.

Dublin Corporation Supports Idea of New Galway Harbor (Corrpsuondr-nre of The AsBoclatfd Press.) Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 30. The ques tion of building a harbor at Galway for the purpose of Irish, American and Canadian trade was brought recently before the Dublin corporation and the idea was strongly supported by all members. A resolution was adopted, calling the attention of the government to the- subject in con nection with the necessity of repro duction works to relieve anticipated distress in the home countries after the war. It was stated that the crea tion of a great harbor at Galwav to deal with American and Canadian traffic through Ireland would be castly important to the people of Ireland and Great Britain and bring home countries into quicker commu nication with America and the Do minions. The route from Galwav to Canada and America would be the shortest and people in Great Britain were be ginning to recognize the importance of Galway as a trans-Atlantic port, particularly, and in the near future the All Red route would be again a question of urgent oublic imoor- tance. A "through Ireland" route from Great Britain to America, it was as serted, would be of enormous ad vantage to both those countries and We've alreadyv noticed signs of an early Spring.

Japan Forms Industrial Alliance With the Chinese (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, Feb. 10. The Kokumin and other leading newspapers say that the Terauchi cabinet has made plans for a policy towards China, based upon the winning of China's friendship, and the founding of an economic and in dustrial alliance. China has long proved a stumbling block for Japanese c4itiets, and China is the greatest political problem which this country has to solve. Much was expected from the pro jected visit of a special Chinese envoy to Japan on a mission of friendship, but this visit was postponed because of opposition from the southern Chinese elements and inability to agree upon the personality of the envoy. It is believed that Japan seeks to remove the suspicion held in China and in foreign lands that it has designs upon Ms neighbor incompati ble with China's progress and evolu tion.

The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend ti our readers is one that brings, out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense. by dissolving a teaspoonful of can throx, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. this makes a tull cup ot snampoo linuid. enough so it is easy to aonlv it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all im purities. It is very soothing and cool- intr in its action, as well as hrneri- cial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you , will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fiufhness that makes it seem very heavy.
