All Europe Facing Disaster in Coal Problem By Associated Press. Berlin, Friday, Aug. 15. That all Europe is facing disaster in the coal situation is the common opin ion of industrial and shipping leaders who have been conferring on the subject here for the last few days. Walther Fehling of Hamburg, a shipping expert, in discussing pros pects of the coming winter so far as Germany is concerned, declares the fuel situation will positively prove a more potent reviver of acute Bolshevism than food. "The question is, can the hungry people stand added privation and freezing for three or four months?" He said "machine guns may subdue Bolshevism but they cannot yield coal." Experts estimate the shortage in the German coal output for the next 12 months will be approximately 100,000,000 tons and predict the United States will be called on to offset the continental shortage.

Discolored or Spotted Skin Easily Peeled Off The freckling, discoloring or roughening to which most skins are \ subject at this season may readily j be gotten- rid of. Ordinary mer- | colized wax, spread lightly over the i face before retiring and removed in the morning with soap and water, I completely peels off the disfigured skin. You need not get more than an ounce of the wax from your druggist. There's no more effective way of banishing tan, freckles, liver spots, moth patches, or other cutaneous defects. Minute, almost invisible, skin particles come off each day, so the process itself doesn't even tem porarily mar the complexion, and you soon acquire a brand new spot iess, girlishly beautiful face. !

Every member of the troupe which comes here, was pres ent when the "Everysallor" company presented their musical revue to President Wilson. Mrs. Wilson. George Creel, Charles Schwab and many others who were aboard the Peace Ship. The revue was given one night when the ocean was quite rough and the passengers needed to cheer their spirits. Presida.lL Wil son laughed throughout the perform ance as did the rest of his company. Charles Schwab said it was one of the pleasantest hoars he ever spent. By presenting the show George Creel, chairman of the Committee of Pablic Information, came into a rath er peculiar situation. The show was to be presented, yet it had not been reviewed. So. Mr. Creel sat through the show the night of dress rehearsal and viewed the show. It did not need any censoring however, to be shown, I in America's best circles.

The story is one of unusual strength and excep tional heart appeal. This will be the last day of Mary Pickford Week at the Regent.

Identify Man Killed in New York Hotel as Portland Resident Xew York, Aug. 16. —The mystery surrounding the murder of a sol dier in the Hotel McAlpin Thurs day was only partially dispelled yesterday when the body was iden tified as being that of C. E. Lan don, a student of the University of Oregon, whose homo was in Port land. Sergeant Vos, who has just returned from overseas with Lan dan and was discharged from the Army with him on Tuesday, made the identification. The police believe that Landoh, who had S3OO in back pay with him, was lured to the hotel by a Broadway "floater" who killed him to get the money from him. Thi3 theory is borne out by the fact that only twenty-five cents was found in London's clothing. The weapon with which the mur der was committed was found when a bent and bloody candelabra was removed from beneath one of the two beds in the room.
