RID STOMACH OF
Gases, SOURNESS
and INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsln" Ends All Stomach
Distress In Five Minutes.

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure It
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs
It's millions of cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made It famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a
large fifty-cent case from any drug
store and then if anyone should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them; if what they eat lays like lead,
ferments and sours and forms gas;
causes headache, dizziness and
nausea; eructations Of acid and undf-
gested food-remember as soon as
Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress
vanishes. It's promptness, certainty
and ease in overcoming the worst
stomach disorders is a revelation to
those who try it,

"Bring a doctor" ordered the officer.
A Red Cross official came and gently
lifted the terrible swollen hand from
the pocket and put it back into the
sling. Then we saw the doctor put his
own hand into the pocket and bring
out five watches and a small handful Of
French silver money.
"Stolen from the dead" said the ofli-
Ger. "No wonder he was trying TO
empty his pocket with that broken

The officer examined the watches and
found they were all French.

WILL ASSIST BANKERS
In Their Effort To Prevent Financial
Stringency.

New York-It is not a moratorium
which has been adopted by the bank
ers of the United States in co-opera-
ton with the government-for that
word signifies suspension of certain
kinds of payments which is authorized
by legislative enactment.
Yet the bankers and the government,
as far as practicable, will act in coop
GRAFTON with intent to suspend pay
ments in gold for the present. This
will be facilitated partly through the
issuing of additional currency, partly
by the action of clearing house asso-
Citations, which will receive hereafter
in payment of balances any kind of
money. Up to this time the clearing
house associations of New York have
accepted in payment of balances moth
ing but gold or legal tenders, although
gold is usually represented by clearing
house gold certificates.
OF course, any one who possesses a
gold certificate may demand of the
government its redemption in gold.
But the bankers and the government
as well, are now taking measures by
which it will be possible practically to
hoard these certificates, or at least to
keep many of them out of general cir

ENDORSED BY BUSINESS MEN
Start Inauguration of Legislative Pro
gram Providing for Federal War
Risk Insurance.

Washington.-A decisive step toward
the Inauguration of legislative pro-
gram providing for federal war risk
insurance on the foreign commerce of
the United States, the creation of a
mercantile marine capable of handling
the export business of the country, and
the restoration of the business in for
eign bills of exchange, was taken by
conference of representative bust
ness men from score of different
cities with Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, members of the federal re-
serve board and members of Congress-
Committees composed of experts on
each of these subjects were appointed
to work in conjunction with congress
the federal reserve board were assign
ed to meet with each of the business
mems committees.
Already congress and the admins
tration have made Roadway in the di-
rection of providing an emergency
merchant marine. A bitter fight start
ed in the senate over the radical
changes made in the emergency reg
istry bill by the conference committee.
The opponents to the throwing wide
open of American coastwise trade to
foreign ships, and the elimination of
the provision requiring an American
majority ownership in all foreign ships
which are given American registry,
prevented the passage of the pending
measure.

MORE SHIPS CHARTERED
Against Entry of Aliens into Great
Britain's Territory.

Washington.-The Washington gov
ernment's measures for the relief of
Americans in Europe and plans of the
Red Cross to send an expedition to the
war zones, developed rapidly. Amer
lean embassies and legations through
out Europe were authorized by Secre-
tary Garrison to charter ships in which
to bring home citizens of the United
States. Secretary Garrison said he
had decided it would be necessary to
charter two or three ships on this side
of the Atlantic to make trips to GER
tain European ports where American
refugees have assembled.
Some of the American diplomatic
representatives abroad, he has learned,
will be unable to employ vessels be-
cause none that will venture upon the
high seas at this time are available at
their ports. Information received at
the state department gave assurances
that the British order against the en-
try of aliens into England was not
meant to apply to Americans on the
continent who are trying to return to
the United States by way of English
ports.
. Difficulties over the transmission of
code messages between Berlin and
Washington partially were removed
when an understanding was reached
with the British foreign office that the
censor should not impede messages
between the American state depart
ment and the Berlin foreign office or
Ambassador Gerard, relating to the in
terests of Germans in France or Eng
land. However, it was said such mes
sages were being blocked at Copen-
hagen, making it necessary to route
them by way of Rome.
Red Cross officials announced that
there had been a countrywide re-
Spouse to the appeal for funds to
finance the relief expedition. One in
dividual contribution of $4,000 and
another of $4,000 were reported.

STOP MARKET FLOODING
Detailed information Given in Which
Resources Were Concentrated.

New York.-As the days pass there
has been opportunity for getting more
detailed information than was at first
possible of the manner in which re-
sources were concentrated and barri-
caded against financial attack. 1t was
in the best sense of the word, a pro-
digious undertaking. Not even the
embarrassments and grave dangers of
a financial character which the gov
eminent faced at the opening of the
Civil War were as portentouS of chaos
as was the situation which of sud
den confronted American bankers, and
the Federal government Immediately
after it was known that the London
Stock Exchange had closed It's doors.
The demonstration which was made
of ability and of a fine spirit of CO.
operation now is thought to be sure
to pass into history as a proof of the
high qualifications of American bank
ers as we'll as the fundamental spirit
of patriotism unalloyed by partisan
ship, which is characteristic of Wash
ington.
In speaking of the conditions which
were suddenly offered Immediately
after the local Stock Exchange closed
its doors, one of leading American
bankers said that it would have been
impossible to meet and overcome
these conditions had not the bankers,
as well as those in authority in Wash
ington, kept perfectly cool and upon
the instant almost, diagnosed the stu
alton and fixed upon the remedy. The
situation was such that unless barri-
cades were raised the continent of Eu-
hope and London would have dumped
securities of all kinds and in other ways
flooded the American market. Ample
as the resources of American banks
were, and strong as the government
is in the possession of gold and other
resources, these were not available
upon the instant. 1t was instantly
seen to be inevitable that the great
market where the value of American
securities is fixed and the Clearing
House not only for the United States,
but for the continent of Europe and
Great Britain, that American securi-
ty dealings must defend itself in the
only way possible. 1t must draw up
the bridge, thereby leaving an impas-
sable moat.

CHESS FOR HUMAN PAWNs
French Consul Refutes Reports OF
German Victories.

Cincinnati.-The European warfare
is gigantic and terrible game of
chess played with humans as pawns
and the crowns of. Europe as Kings
and Queens Eugene Pociey, French
Consul, said, in refuting the dispatches
that Germany had gained any great
victory by opposing the French sol
diers who temporarily occupied Muehl-
hansen. The~occupation of Muehlhau-
sen by the French was feint to draw
the strength of the Germans into
limelight, and demonstrate how swift
ly a Capitalization of their forces
could be made, Pociey declares, and
in that it was successful. General
Joffee, with 100000 men, was massed
near Muehlhausen, Pociey cites, as
evidence that the French did not con-
slider the point strategic.
THE German army is in a crescent,
and dependent on each individual
army. The French army is formed in
a great triangle, and an attack on any
point of it that pretends to become
serious will bring heavy reinforce
ments from any other side of the tri-
angle, an advantage over the Ger
MANS" Pociey says. THE slow mob
ilization of Russian forces has ena-
bled the Germans to make more con
centrated attacks on France, which
will not be possible when the Russians
are entered into battle" the Consul
said. 1.-THE Germans must defend Ber-
lin from Russian invasion, and already
several thousand Russian troops are
on the way toward the invasion
When they enter Germany the Ger
man forces must be divided"

CLOSE PORTS OF EUROPE
Germans Scattering Contact Mines In.
discriminatory About North Sea.

Washington.-With Congress and
the Administration exerting every eff
fort to develop foreign commerce and
to take advantage of the stoppage of
industry in large part of industrial
and agricultural Europe, there sudden
ly came to this government warn
ing from Great Britain that it would
be unsafe for merchant ships to enter
the North Sea.
This admonition was delivered to
Secretary Bryan by Councillor Barclay,
of the British Embassy in Washington.
Barclay communicated the following
note to the State Department: The
Germans are scattering contact mines
unfortunately about the North Sea
in the open sea, without regard to the
consequences to merchantmen. Four
large merchant ships were observed to
pass within mile of the mine field
which sank H. NJ S. Amphion. The
waters of the North Sea must, there
fore, be regarded as perilous in the
last degree to merchant ships of all
nations.

Bryan on wireless and cable commune
cation between America and Europe.
The charge had previously requested
that the state department permit code
messages to be exchanged directly be-
tween the United States and Germany,
which now are barred by the military
censors in England, through which
county all cable messages must pass
to reach Germany
The charge also was DESTROYS that
the German-owned wireless stations at
Sayville, l.. l., and Tuckertop, N j.,
be permitted to work with Germany
free from censorship, thereby placing
Germany on an equality with England
and France, which are using their
cables without restriction for trans

Chamber of Commerce Announcement
in Regard to Indirect Cable.

New York.-The Chamber of Ger
man-American Commerce made two
announcements regarding its efforts
to relieve the difficulties of transact
ing business between this country and
Germany in the present disturbed con-
ditions. The first related to wire com
munication, the second to freight
transportation. Wireless service be-
tween the German station at Tucker
ton, N. j., and the powerful new in
stallation at Hanover, Germany, will,
it is hoped, be working within a few
days, it was announced by the cham
Der. 1t has been delayed by the set
ting up of new machinery at the Eu-
ropean end, but tests since last Fri
day show steady Improvement in
working, and it is expected that com
mercial standard transmission will be
attained soon.
Meantime the chamber points out,
business concerns in the United States
which have branches or correspond
communicate through these, by cable,
with German business houses. The
cables to Germany are cut, but cables
between England, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland are still intact.
Messages relayed in this way must
pass censorship, which requires them
to be in plain language and bear full
addresses, of course, but can be sent
without unreasonable delay up to now.
Rotterdam has been found specially
convenient relay point for this sort of
communication, for the chamber re-
ports number of messages having
been passed through there to Germany
successfully in the last few days.
