The German Field Marshal Believes That

Pekin, Feb. ia few days ago
Count Won Waldersee wrote to the
generals under his supervision, noti-
flying them to have all their available
troops ready in two weeks for an ex
petition lasting 80 days. Yesterday
Gen. Chaffee and Gen Voyron, tn.
French commander, received letters
asking for their cooperation and ex
pressing desire to know what forces
they can spare. In commencing his
letter to Gen. Chaffee, Count Won Wal
dersee says: lowing to the unsatis
factory nature of the negotiations
for peace and also to circumstances
rendering such a course. desirable, it
will probably be necessary to RESUME
military operations on large scale
especially toward the west.' It is not
thought likely that Gen. Chaffee viii:
agree to such a plan without instruc-
tions from Washington. The French
commander, however, is expected to
do so.
Viewed with Dlsmay at Washington.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The United
States government is facing serious
crisis in China, owing to the announce
ment of the purpose of Field Marshal
Won Waldersee to begin another Of
fensive campaign. This German move
ment is viewed with absolute dismay
here, for it is feared that it requires
an, immediate decision by the United
States government upon its whole line
of policy toward the Chinese question.
Gen. Chaffee will be told that he is
not to participate in this campaign.
He has been keeping the American
forces in Pekin ever since the city
was pacified simply as a legation
guard, and the German government
is fully aware that the United States
government purposely deprived the
American contingent in China of its
offensive military character, and with
drew it from the control of Count Won
Waldersee in order to hasten peace
negotiations and prevent, SO far as it
could, the continuance of military
movements against the Chinese, which
were at once unnecessary and baneful
in their effect upon the peace move
ment.
viii Use 1000 Transport Wagons.
Berlin, Feb. 19.-The Cologne Ga
zette publishes dispatch from Pelxin
which explains that Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee's new expedi-
ton is intended to finally clear the
province of Chilli of Chinese soldiers
and produce wholesome dread
among the Chinese. The German COM
missariat department has ordered L.
900 transport wagons to be ready

having the bill amended SOFAS to pro-

action allowed 20 minutes debate upon

that ever graduated from the Lakeside

Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is the
Vice Templar of the Independent Order
of Good Templars, and Organist of the
Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During. her
twelve years experience asa trained
nurse, she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters Is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as a trained
nurse, have often observed how many
different physicians give their patients
Dodd's Kidney Pills n cases of Diabetes
and Kidney Trouble. About three years
ago, 1 myself suffered some months
with weakened and continual con-
gested condition, and decided to try
what the Pills would do for me. I soon
found that they built up the affected
parts, and restored harmony to the en-
tire system, and although I often lose
much sleep and rest while attending
severe cases, find that I was never in
finer health nor had more endurance
than since I have used these marvellous
Pills" t1AIS
Clergymen say they are good, Senar
tors and Congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties of this Medicine, hundreds OF
physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
