WILL FIGHTiTo A FINISH.
Allies Will Repudiate Peace Pro-
-; posals of Germany.
s1>st = ,-l2..l. ..t2ii

Paris, April 12.-From statements
of officials here regarding the peace
feelers that Germany is now putting
out, notably in the United States il
u stated that the allies position after
eight months of warfare, is as fol-
lows:
France and England are fully
aware of Gernlany's preparedness 10
sign a peace contract which shall leave
Europe precisely as it was in last July,
with no territorial changes and no
agreement rcga3iineH the limitation
of armament
France, England and Russia, how
ever are more than ever determined
to persist in their resolution, formed
last September, to hurl Germany
from her position Of military don1i-
nance. No peace pressure eXerted
through neutral countries, obliquely
or direct, will be allowed to influence
their resolution.
Germany's readiness to call the
great war a draw and revert to the
status quo ante bellum meets no fav-
orable response in France, England
or Russia for the following reasons:
1. The British and French armies
will reach their highest pitch of eff
fciency as offensive forces during
next month, during the very moment
the weakening Of the Great German
war machine is expected to become
most apparent.
2. Germany's methods OF frightful-
ness on land, on sea and in the air
have removed all ideas of lenieney
from the minds of the allies.
3. The allies could tolerate no
peace which would leave the Kaiser
II the position to say "My armies
have preserved my territories invio-
late. We fought where my staff
wished and if the result is not 70
aggrandize my empire, its inherent
internal strength is not diminished"
Next months hostilities may be
expected to lead to considerable
shortening Of the battle front.
Hundreds of miles of fighting front
may suddenly disappear by Austria

learn semi-officially that Austria
would eagerly grasp the chance Of
accepting defeat on the basis of
yielding Galicia to Russia and 5os-
mia and Herzegovina to Serbia, but
would insist upon the allies providing
guarantee for her conservation on
Trento, trieste Istra and Dalmatia.
The only step France and Great
Britain so far have taken toward
peace is the disposal they are now
showing to agree in the principle Of
peace with Austria worked out on
the above basis with only minor
peace, notifications.
Regarding the duration Of the war

acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inf1ame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes som etimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple aim ents
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation to
the bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
tscaused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.

position of powerful interests opposed
to democratic reforms he experienced
considerable difficulty in forming a
cabinet The liberals refused to aid
him. At the second session of his
cabinet on November II, project was
considered for placing the council OF
empire on an elective basis.
About this time there were serious
labor troubles in all parts of the en-
pire. Serious threats on the part or
the Poles to proclaim a revolution led
Count White to advise the emperor
to declare martial law in Poland.
Troops were employed to queu dis
orders in various sections of the coun-
try. Reports were current that he
had been condemned to death by the
anarchists. On November 16 the
premier made a personal appeal to
workmen to return to their Duties but
his efforts had no immediate effect
and the workmen's council broke off
negotiations with him two days later.
On November 10, however, the coun-
Gil decided to end the strike.

Dissatisfied with his treatment at the
hands of the emperor and feeling that
it was beyond his power to restore
tranquility, Count White rendered his
resignation as premier on December
Z, 1905, but it was not accepted and
he was ordered to retain his office
until he was relieved. Official an
nouncement that his resignation had
been accepted was made, however, on
May 3, 1906, and his retirement from
public life became complete. In his
farewell rescript to Count Witte En-
peror Nicholas thanked him cordially
for his services to the empire and
attributed his retirement to the shat
tering Of his health by his arduous
labors. Shortly after his retirement
Count White left Russia with his sec

sorts, undergoing several operations In
recent years several efforts had been
made by his friends to have him APP

Russia, but they were unsuccessful and
there was no evidence that he fostered

that sanity was not an issue. Jus

The jury retired at 5:29 o'clock
and remained in deliberation for
about an hour and a quarter. AS no
verdict had then been reached JUS
tlce Page declared recess until 9
o'clock and the jury was taken out

jurors returned from dinner at 9:05

their deliberations.
Still Legally Insane.
Thaw's attorneys stated trat as
IhaW was still considered legally in
sane he was still a ward of the state
and consequently the superintend
ent of Matteawan had authority to
take him there.
The attorneys said, however, that
writ of habeas corpus had been
made out and was awaiting the sig
nature of a supreme court justice.
They said they planned to have the
writ signed Immediately upon the re-
turn of the jury with verdict or a
disagreement. This writ, the attor-
neys asserted, would be served upon
the representatives of the superin-
tendent Of Matteawan before they
had chance to remove him from
the Tombs prison.

Inc writ it was said, was return

en- back to Matteawan he would be
under the jurisdiction of the courts
OF Westchester county, another jul
dicial district
While Thaw was in court he was
under the control of the sheriff of
this county. The sheriff said he was
responsible for the return of Thaw
from the courtroom to the Tomb
prison. Any demand that the rep
resentatives of the superintendent of
Matteawan made for Thaw, Sheriff
Griffenhagen said, would have to be
made upon the warden of the Tombs.
Thaw's attorneys believed that
they would have sufficient time be-
fore ThaW was returned to the
Tombs from the courtroom in which
to have the writ of habeas corpus
signed.

Early Presidential Booms

TT WAS not necessary for former Senator
i Theodore Il. Burton to go down to Pan
anna to find a safe place from which to let
it be known that he is willing to run for the
Presidency next year He is from Ohio and
Ohio Is doubtful enough to make its sons
think that their chances for winning the
nomination are good. But Mr.. Burton is not
the only Ohioan who has been mentioned
for the Presidency. Myron r. Herrick and
William H. Taft are also from Ohio. Neither
of them would refuse a nomination, and it
it coming his way.
But the hopes which are buoyant in the
spring of 1915 may have disappeared alto
gether before the spring of 1916. The party
leaders may lay their plans, but the great
body of the Republican voters will decide on
the nomination. Besides the three Ohio men
there are Senator Borah and Justice Hughes
and Governor Brumbaugh. And no political
speculator should lose sight of the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt has apparently recovered
from the jungle fever which he contracted
in South America and is talking and writ
ing with all his old-tlme punch. He will have
something to say about what Is to be done.
Senator Burton has planned well to spend
the next few months studying conditions in
a triumphal tour of the country in the late
fall or early winter when Presidential senti-
ment is crystalllzing. When we see how he
is welcomed then it will be possible to form
a definite idea about his availability.

What the Jitney Can Do

TTNHERE is a place for the jtney bus in
i Philadelphia and in every other Ameri-
can city as a supplementary cab service. AS
a complement to the electric car service it
is so inadequate that it does not deserve
consideration for a moment in any large
community. 1t would break down in the
rush hours when relief is most needed. But
It is notorious that cab charges are unrea-
Eonably high. In London, for example. the
charges start at eightpence, and for that in
significant sum man can be carried farther
than so cents viii carry him in any Ameri-
can city.
When the cost OF operation and deprecla-
fion are considered 1t is doubtful whether an
automobile can be operated which charges
only fve cents for short rides But If the
fare were made 10 cents to any point within
a mile Of the Broad Street Station it is likely
that automobiles could be operated at a
profit. II lady could get in jitney bus at
the corner Of sth and Market streets and
ride TO the Bellevue Stratford or to the Ritz
Carlton for 10 cents she would not hesitate a
Smoment. II a and his wife from the
suburbs wished to get to the Opera House
from the Reading Terminal or the Broad
street Station they would gladly take the
5ltneg at 10 cents passenger And IL there
could be general headquarters from which
the cheap busses could be sent on cali there
would be little else to be desired in the way
ef cheap and convenient transportation.

State. On the other hand, I believe that
those who profess horror at the intervention
of the State for the protection of the weak

they are desrous of using their strength for

For THE WORTHY POOR

To the Editor Of the EueninD Ledger:
Sir-I wish to offer the following plan to the
gentleman who wishes to establish suitable
monument to the memory of his friends:
To create establishment for the sale of
food, Clothes coal and all necessaries of life
means. My idea would be to sell TO the gen.
eral public at a small profit, thus not trying
to undermine the small dealer. To those who
are really needy and apply for aid, L would
sell at cost. or course I would do this only
where an investigation proved the statement
of such applicant to be correct.
The profit that would be made from sales to
general public 1 would follows: After
setting aside whatever surplus needed, L
would aid destitute people deserving such aid
for any purpose, but especially for medicine and
on any worthy person or project to help, the
IDEA being to aid humanity in any way and
every way.
On the stationery and literature of the estab-
llshment I would have a suitable inscription
showing its purposes and with names of the
persons 10 whose memory the establishment
would be a monument l would erect a tablet
IN the building used-also stating its purpose
and also with the names of these same persons;
in fact would make the memory OF these peo-
pie prominent in every advertisement, act or
deed of this establishment.
This plan would not interfere with the small
take away from them the poorest people, who
sometimes have TO eat and cannot always pay
for 1t. 1t would be a blow to the interest
grabbing money lender and also the high-priced
instalment men, who bore poor people 10 death
and charge them 90 per cent. to 100 per cent.

HaIdane Admits It, Too

TTIsCOUNT HALDANE is the latest dis
' tingushed Englishman to admit that his
Government is dsregarding the old princi-
pies OF international law, now that it is con-
fronted by new and unprecedented condi-
tions. He justifes it. as Mr.. Balfour justi-
fed 1t before him, by the rule of necessity.
Great Britain. according to him, is fighting
for her life and she must use extraordinary
means.
The admission from. Lord Hadane Is pc
cularly significant, for at the beginning of
the war he was distrusted sby his country
men because of his known admiration for
Germany and the Germans. He cannot af-
ford to take any position which will justify
their suspicion. So his Interpretation may
be regarded as conservative statement of
the views OF the leading English authorities.
But their own admission that they have TO
make new preeedents has not yet prevented
the Englishmen from denouneing the Ger
mans for pursuing the same course. That is
too much to expect. but Americans ought to
be sufficiently impartial TO recognize that
all the belligerents are tarred with the same
stick

More Trouble for Mexico

'6NTICTORIANO HUERTA is apparently imi-
~ tating President Wilson and is pursuing
a policy of watchful waiting. He has been
in Spain, which is long way from Mexico,
and he has just sailed on a ship bound for
Buenos Aires. Reports do not indicate
whether the ship stops at West Indian ports
on the way. But the former dictator can
watch in South America as patiently as he
can walt in Spain.
1t may be that Porflrio Diaz, who trained
him in the arts of war and statecraft, as
they are understood across the Rio Grande,
has been giving him postgraduate instruc-
ton while they were both taking their ease
in Europe. Not only is Huerta waiting for
an opportune moment for returning to his
native country. but Mexico itself is waiting
for the appearance of a strong man who can
seize the petty revolutionary lead ers by the
scruff of the neck and shake them into
docility.
And it is not likely that the Washington
Government will be so squeamish about rec
ognizlng the strong man when he appears
as 1t was two years ago.
