WAR BULLETINS
(From Yesterdays Late Edition)
(By Associated PFess)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-Ger
man Ambassador Bernstorff conferred
with Secretary of State Lansing for a
half hour this morning, concerning the
subject of reparation for the Ameri-
can lives lots on the Lusitania, which
was sunk several months ago, off Fast
net, by a German submarine. 1t is
thought that the question may come
up.
1t seems to be the disposition of the
German embassy to take up one step
at the time concerning this discus
sion.
The German ambassador has not
made public the extent of his instruc-
lions. on which he has acted
1t is understood, however, that they
co-incided entirely with the statement
of the German foreign minister, pub
lished by Associated Press yesterday.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER.
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making
You Sick and You Lose
a DAVIS Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 60
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoon
full and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, YOU just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.

Save AppomattOx. A

Appomattox is fading from the
map. This means the village. The
raging winds and waters have done
their worst, and what they have left
is crumbling from human neglect.
The first cannot by any ingenuity be
avoided, that the last should figure
in the effacement of the town that
had its famous apple tree is pitiful
and inexcusable.
Appomattox never aspired in its
early history to be anything more
than it was. 1t wasn't a resort. It
never had a press agent. 1t took its
place in the sun because of an Incl
dent it would have gladly escaped.
All the more is its passing something
for tears rather than criticisms.
As the seat of Appomattox coun.
ty, it made pretensions. It's people
were content to remain beyond the
feculent atmosphere where the pop
ulace is restless and where they
grow prematurely wan.
1t became famous between the
rising and the setting of the sun.
Not as Hougamont, but as the place
where cause sacred to the whole
South fell and expired. Here, as
tablet tells the passing traveller, was
fired the last volley, April 9, 1866"
1t may be so. The count of all the
places where the last volley of the
civil war was fired is not yet in. But
this is detail.
Why has not Virginia long ago
stopped the vandals, fire, water and
neglect? Why isn't Appomattox to-
day literal shrine as we'll as his
torical shrine? Not to perpetuate
name or to add to the luster of
name. Appomattox stands for peace
the peace for which victor and
vanquished prayed, and which a
united people are enjoying today

terror. Every man who goes to
sleep at night without looking under
the bed for a German or a British
or Japanese army is pacifcist or
worse.
Cowardice is bad trait in indi-
yiduals and it is a worse trait in a
nation. We can think of nothing
more contemplate than great
country that is cringing in fear of a
theoretical and conjectural foe, and
We do not believe the United States
is that kind of country. 1t never
has been, and there is no evidence
of revolutionary change in the ma
tional character.
We do not mean that the nation
ought to rest smugly satisfied with
inadequate means of national de-
fense or that its military resources
should be left to chance and impro-
visation. We have no more regard
for Colonel Bryan's complacent army
of 1,000,0 900 which is to spring into
being over night than we have for
Colonel Roosevelt's froth and fury
against every American whose teeth
do not chatter in terror when he
looks at map of the world.
To say that the United States
must Immediately spend S500,000,-
900 on the navy and support an
army of 100000 men is just as
silly as to say that the country should
learn no lesson whatever in military
defense from the war that has
wrecked Europe. Between the lu-
natics and the fools there is a broad
plateau of sanity which we hope
that the Administration and Con-
gress will seize and occupy. In par
ticular, we should like to see the
navy equipped with battle cruisers,
destroyers and submarines to the
end that it's fighting efficiency, ton
for ton, would be 100 per cent.
But in the meantime we can think
of nothing more ridiculous than the
campaign of cowardice which the
preparedness propaganda has under
taken in the hope of terrifying the
country. 1t is doubly foolish be-
cause it prejudices the cause of
rational and sensible preparedness

Utah Furnishes Expo Material.

Utah Furnishes Expo Material
The state of Utah has made another
record, of which it is very proud. 1t
seems that all the gypsum used in the
construction of the San Diego fair
buildings and 80 per cent of that used
for the San Francisco fair came from
the quarries near Nephi, Utah. 1t is
now well known that gypsum is one of
the oldest building materials. 1t was
used extensively in the building of
the pyramids and very largely in the
construction of the monumental archi-
tectural edifices reared by the Greeks
and the Romans.
The product of gypsum used in the
fair buildings is known as stair and
was cast to initiate the famous Roman
travertine. OF it's beau thousand
writer's have written. Utah is proud
that it furnished the material for the
exposition structures and proud that
it could have furnished the material
for the wonders of the ancients.
