WILLIAM FOR PEACE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR MAKES
EMPHATIC STATEMENT.
Emperor Seeks TO Preserve and Not
TO Deslroy-polnted Out That
Since Williams Accession There
Has Not Been . lombai, Though
There Have Been provocatlons.

Chicago, Nov. ga dispatch to
the Tribune fbrm Washington, d. c.,
says:
In the present tense condition of
Affairs in Europe the statement made
Yesterday BY Baron Speck Won Stern
ourg. ambassador Of Germany to this
country, who has just returned from
Berlin, where he had an opportunity
to discuss questions with the emperor,
IL Important.
The world has regarded Emperor
W1lsiiAm a. q man Of war; said the
ambassador. II tell you he 10 q man
OF peaca. He has always observed and
10 observing the traditions ablished
BY his granather, the great Frederick
William, and those traditions call for
the peaceful development Of Germany,
and, In International affsirs, adherence
to those principles which are based
upon the law Of nations.
The emperor seeks to preserve, not
to destroy; to build up, not to demol-
ash. He has no wish whatever but to
maintain the status quo Of the nations.
Take, for example. Morocco; he never
sought to grab territory, but, on the
contrary. wishes the integrity Of Mo-
10000 to be observed and the country
developed through improvements.
1.-The best answer to those who az.
sert that the emperor is warlike 10
found in the fact that since his acces-
sion to the throne, Germany has not
engaged in q single combat. All the
other nations have had wars, includ-
ing the United States.
II don't think any nation has been
placed during the reign Of his majesty.
in q more awkward or even az trying
positions az he has. That the emperor
has been able to avoid war when
threatened BY 70 many dangers, fur
nishes the best evidence Of this pacific
disposition and his desire to continue
the policy Of his father"

Acute Indigeotion.
Acute indigestion may result from
many causes, but when 1t follows i'm
mediately upon a holiday feast, 1t is
usually attributable to overdistention
OF the stomach, aggravated, perhaps,
by the presence of such indigestible
things as pastry and plum pudding.
1t occurs a little oftener In children,
but In them it is rarely SO serious in
its consequences as it is In adults,
for nausea is more readily induced
and more promptly yielded to. and as
soon as the stomach has got rid of
its burden, the trouble Ii at an end.
An adult, on the other hand. strug-
giles against the feeling of oppression,
and often intensifles 1t while seeking
to relieve it by taking stimulating po-
tions.
In many cases the first indication Of
the disturbance is loss Of conscious
ness or violent CONFUSION resem
bling an epileptdc seizure. Sometimes,
indeed, it IL dinlcult to distinguish the
attack from one Of heart failure or an
apoplexy, for both these conditions
are favored by overindulgence. A dis
t1nction II important, however, for
neglect Of appropriate treatment in
either condition may favor a fatal ter
mination.
The old advice to quit meal before
a feeling Of safety has been obtained
Ii still good; one should cease at least
before sense Of discomfort has been
produced, and room should always be
allowed for the secretion Of the gastric
Juice, which In an adult often amounts
to nearly quart. When the walls of
the stomach have been distended to
their utmost capacity by food, the
addition Of so much fluid would seem
of itself enough to induce the attack;
or IL the distention prevents the Sc
erection of the fluid, as it does nor
NAL muscular movements, the process
Of digestion is delayed, the food il re-
tanned too long in the stomach, it un-
dergoes abnormal decomposition, In
flammation is induced, and this ex-
tending to the small intestine may lead
to more protracted illness.
In the treatment Of acute indiges-
tion, the production Of nausea should
be favored. When vomiting occurs, it
should not be checked until the stom-
ach has been relieved Of its burden.
II it does not occur spontaneously. it
should generally be induced.
II unconsciousness or q CONFUSION
has supervened, physician must be
called without delay, for it may be
necessary to administer an emetic
subcutaneously.
Following this, laxative 10 gen
orally given, and the diet for q few
days Ia limited to easily digestible.
unirritating food. MIX, Of course, is
the safest form of nourishment, ex-
cent for those with whom 1t does not
agree, and the addition to it Of little
lime-water or vichy will often remove
all objection. Companion.

BOUNDARY SUIT
vlsHINGTON STARTS ACTION
AGAINST OREGON.
.,.sd TO Determine Location OF

tsdictIon Over Practically All
flower thirty niles Of River
and I6 Sand Islands Is Claimed.

Dilemma. Nov. 6.-Part of Clatsop
i. ;nttine out from Oregon, part Of
sps Oregon jetty at the mouth Of the
H1 D and practically the entire
18th Of the river are claimed to be
~ the Washington jurisdiction BY this
-.a.s in the action instituted against
s s state of Oregon in the United States
u0,sme court to determine the loca-
siou of the disputed boundary line be-
tween the two states.
The complaint in the case has been
,renared by the attorney general and
+ ready for service upon the Oregon
snthorities and for fling in Washing
ton, D g.
Mans which accompany the state Of
Vashington's complaint designate the
boundary line as skirting the south or
oregon shore from Clatsop spit past
Astoria and as far as Tongue point
where it leaves Woody island to the
soptb and follows the center Of Woody
island ..hsnnel gradually nearing the
washington shore, which it begins to
SKIRT in the vicinity of Three Tree
noint. about thirty miles from the
mouth of the river.
The difference in the claims of the
two states is practically the width Of
the river for these thirty miles, the
state of Oregon claiming that the line
skirts the Washington shore instead Of
the Oregon shore from the mouth Of
the river.
Sand Islands Involved.
The complaint specifies sixteen sand
islands, valuable for fishing rights,
over which both Oregon and Washing
ton claim Jurisdiction and over which
there have been numerous conflicts Of
authority. These islands are the prin-
oipsl ones and are mentioned by name,
although there are other islands in
volved in the controversy.
The location of tho line a. claimed
by Washington is said to be based on
the evidence given by old charts and
early navigators Of the river. The
middle channel Of the river and,
where it is divided by islands, the
middle of the widest channel marks
the boundary line as defined BY act Of
conrgess. While not stated in the COM
plant it is known to be the contention
Of Washington that the channel re-
mains where the middle and widest
channels existed at the time congress
defined che boundary, and that these
channels are where the state has desig-
mated the line on its maps filed with
the complaint.
The complaint and the evidence mp
on which it is based were assem- bled
by Assistant Attorney General e. G.
Macdonald, who spent some months
On the work. Mr.. Macdonald brought
the complaint to Olympia Friday,
where it was reviewed oy Attorney
General Atkinson, who gave it his ap-

Sir George Williams was born in
Dulverton, Somerset, England, October
IL, 1921. He began business career
at Bridgewater, being clerk in dry
goods house. In 1887 he became a
convert to Christianity and was active
in the promotion Of the religious well
fare of his fellow clerks and others for
a couple Of years. In 1841 he went to
London and there kept up his religious
work. and finally, in 1874, in company
with other young men employed in
the same ablishment, organized the
Young Mems Christian Association,
which was designed to be society
for improving the spiritual condition
of young men engaged in the drapery
and other trades"
Organized Society In 1864.
The name Of the society was suggest
ed by companion to Williams. The
movement spread rapidly, although
the first meetings were held under &C.
crecy. Inside of year there were IT,
teen bible GLASSES organized in other
mercantile houses, and in January,
1916 q missionary was employed to
work up further interest. In 1848
apartments were rented in which q
library, reading room, social parlors,
restaurant and educational GLASSES were
provided. Soon lecture course was
esta blished and through this and the
missionaries sent out tho movement
spread all over England. By 1851
the Central Association consisted Of
225 members and 425 associates. There
were eight regularly established socie-
ties in London and sixteen in other
cities, with q total membership Of
about 2,7O0.
The first movement in America was
made in 1851, when it began in Mon
treal, Boston and New York, Then
the movement spread to Switzerland,
France and Germany, and since then
to all parts Of the world, even to the
Orient.
