There has been a great

increase in the cost of Hair Brushes and Combs during the last few months.. It is hard to get anything in this line at a reasonable price toda .

We just received a lot

which were bought be- fore the rise and are clearing them out at a special price. The brush retails at 75c-the comb 35c--and for a short time our price for both will be 79c-Get in or this- it’s a snap.

KRUPP illlllllllllll r KEPI A DIARY

LONDON, May 25-The Daily News

has received from Berne, Switzer- land, a dairy compiled by. Dr. Mueh- lon, one of the directors of Krupp‘s during the first three months of the war. After lying undisturbed in Germany for three years the diary recently has been brought across the frontier and will bo published next week. The text remains unchanged. but Dr. Muehlon is withlioldlng from publication sections oi' his diary deal- ing with the activities oi` Krupp's ilrni The names of personalities mentioned in the diary are also withheld, but they all, as can easily be under- stood, figured and still figure among the greatest in Gerinany.

The diary was compiled by one

who was head oi' the political do- partment. at l{rupps_ and it will help historians not only to fix the responsibility for the war, in so far as that has not been settled by Prince. Lichnowsky. but to know. also. the sentiments which prevail- ed in high German circles at its outbreak. l have been permitted to read the maniisrript. and l send in sniniiiarizetl forin ii few entries. Tho first. gives at somewhat greater length the text of Ilr. M\|ehion's well-known eliarges against the German Govoruinent. (Jthers are: I Aug. 16-News troni lierlin~ A

man \vho has just eonferrctl with the Naval and l"oi‘|.'li:n (lilice secretaries ami military chief tells us all are in high spirits. Everything goes like clot-kworli, and in a few days the Gerinaii army will be all over France. llc 'says the German fleet has looked for the liritish fleet in vain.

Win by Any Means.

Aug. 27.~Untler the directions of

the ldorcign Office great and un- scriipulous efforts are being made to capture Governments, deputies. writers, journalist:-1 and all iioulrals. I will not speak here of the methods. but I doubt their success.

Aug. 2t~l-l spoke yesterday about my doubts with 1| large eiri-lo of'| prominent men, but nobody `sliared| my views. "We must win the war by any means" is their rci'i'ain. . Sept. 5-l had another conversa- tion with the great industrial niag- nates about the division of the spoils. An unabashed robher policy prevails. (inc speaker declared that his Industrial colleagues, Tliyssen.

Stinnes. and iilrdorf, have thrown, all their influence upon the -side oil a policy of` force. l

Sept. 29-Laeoiilt-, but inforining.

messages from the front. from a nianl who has come i`rom lieadoiiartersl where tho Emperor received him, says the outlook is unsatisfactory. 1 need not go into the disputes, but it is clear the Gernian higher' command did not reckon on a serious opposition from the l<`reneli near Paris anti had not seen an enemy army wl'iii~h hurled our army back.

The Coming Man.

Oet. 4~An iuiportant man \vho hast

rotiirued from' general lioadoiiartersl says the Emperor is seen there only for a short time daily. Von Moltke is somc.what‘ apalllctie. The real nio- tive force and the coming man is von Falkenliayn, who is supported by all.

(let. 5-I have had a talk with one

of our best. known financiers _ llc says he "only" wants Vl.ongwy ami Brit:-_v l'roin France because oi' their ore wealth and the greater part of llclgiuni. Including lirusseis and Os- tciid. The present imperial ‘chan- cellor and foreign secretary seein to him unfltted for obtaining such terms. .

Nov. 1-lt is worth mentioningi

that 1 inet to-day a great German in- dustrial chief. who does not share the prevailing hatred and blindness. I

The final entry. which is notl

dated, read: “'l‘o-day I inet one of our most rt-p|‘ese|itntivo tGerinaiis who told me. to my ninazeinoni. that we had wlllcd tho war and

could easily have prevented lt."

in a 'brief and moving pi'el`aee to

the dairy. llr. Muehlon urges the German people to seek the whole

truth.
