A NERVINE TONIC

In many severe nervous disorders
the best remedy is often tonic. The
most active tonic treatment is recon-
mended by the highest medical au-
thority to arrest the progress of such
diseases.
1t is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are a nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood,
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache
and q number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing UP the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and are often entirely cor
rected in this way.
III you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry, by TAX
ling proper rest, sleep and vacations.
by avoiding excesses and by taking
out-of-door exercise. For medicine
take DR.. williams Pink Pills, the non
alcoholic tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders
who have been taking treatment with
out benefit should investigate the
tonic method. Write to-day to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady. n. Y, for the booklet, Diseases
fof the Nervous System" 1t will be

eral Sir Douglas Haig has been ap-
pointed to succeed Field Marshal
Sir John French in command of the
British armies in France and Fland-
ers.
Second Change In High Command
The removal of Sir John French is
the second change in the high COM
mand of the allied armies since the
war began. The first was the su-
preston of Grand Duke Nicholas as
commander-in-ch -chief of the Russian
armies after the retreat from Poland.
While the retirement of Field Mar
shall French is considerable of a sur
prise there have been for some weeks
in fact ever since Lord Kitchener S
mission to the Balkans and the con-
vening of the joint war councils in
Paris-indications of a reorganiza-
ton of the Anglo-F French armies.
Thus General Joffre was made com
mander-in-chief of the French armies
in all the theaters of war, while re-
tanning nominally at least immediate
direction of the forces in France.
The appointment, however, of Gen
eral De Castelnau to succeed General
Foch, Joffre's intimate friend, as
chief of staff, gave some color to re-
ports that Joffre's new honors were
preliminary to his removal from COM
mand in the field.
On the British side Field Marshal
French probably has been the sub
Ject of less press criticism than any
of the other allied commanders. In
deed, however bitter tn discus
sion in the daily press or Parliament,
and while Lord Kitchener, the War
Secretary, the General Staff and prac-
tically every member of the Cabinet
has been blamed for so-called blum
ders" and 'inaction," the name of Sir
John French has, perhaps for
chivalric reasons, rarely been even
mentioned.
There has, however, been a strong
under current of criticism, noticeable
chiefly in the influential British
weeklies and in the magazines. The
large amount of time which the Brit
ish field commander spent IN London,
reports having it that he was in Eng
land when the last allied offensive
began, has caused considerable COM
ment and given rise to yelled accusa-
uons of negligence, and that he was
clinging, against the views of his staff
advisers, to a purely defensive pro-
gram for the million or more men,
which the British army in France is
now said to embrace

ing of the Ancona by an. Austrian sub
marine with loss of American lives
From such part of the unofficial text
as is contained in the news dispatches
officials considered the reply vague in
many respects, but they were not pre-
pared to decide whether that was
caused by the translation.
Will Refuse Exchange
The suggestion for an exchange of
opinions, the virtual request for a bill
OF particulars of the American COM
plaint against the action of the sub
marine commander and the proposal
for a discussion of the facts were
clearly set forth, however, in the un-
official text, and officials of the State
Department who have knowledge OF
its policy in the crisis unhesitatingly
declared that all would be refused. 1t
was made clear that the United States
does not propose to enter into diplo-
matte discussion which would have
possibilities of being prolonged almost
indefinitely.
The outline of the reply was dis
appointing because some American
officials had been led to believe by pre-
dictions from Germanic quarters that
it would be favorable. or at least would
propose something which the United
States could accept.
AS Secretary Lansing based the rep
resentations in his note upon the Off
cial statement of the Austrian ad-
miralty. American officials are at a
loss to understand where there is
much room for discussion or dispute
of facts.
No Chance for Discussion
News from Vienna recently that the
submarine which sunk the Ancona was
missing led some officials to believe
that new element had been intro
duced into the dispute which has
promise of carrying some weight. That
point, however, seems to have been
disregarded in Austria's answer so far
as officials can judge from the un-
official text received here.
American officials believed that. TAX
ing as a basis the official admission
of the Austrian admiralty that the
Ancona was shelled. torpedoed and
sunk while passengers were still
aboard. there would be little room for
discussion of Secretary Lansings con-
tention that the commander violated
the principles of international law and
humanity and that it was wanton
slaughter of defenseless noncom ba-
tants.
Officials pointed out to-day that a
thoroughly unsatisfactory and unre-
sponsive reply from Austria would
bring diplomatic relations between the
two countries TO a crisis because of the
closing words of Secretary Lansings
note, which declared that good rela-
tions between the two countries rest
upon a common regard for law and
humanity" and that Austria, appre-
ciating the gravity of the case, "wil
accede to it's (the United States) de-
mand promptly"
Baron Zweidinek had no official dis
patches from Vienna. but after read
ing the news dispatches he went to
the State Department and conferred
with Secretary Lansing. Previously
the baron had inquired what the at
titude of the United States would be
toward an unacceptable reply To-day,
on the basis of the news dispatches.
the charge and the secretary discussed
the situation informally.

STANDING ARMY
OF MILLION MEN
URGED BY WORKS
California Senator Declares
This Force Necessary to De-
fend U. S. Against Invasion
LAND TRACTS FOR TROOPS
Would Place Soldier-Settler at
Work ON ReforeStration
and Irrigation
By Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 16. - Senator
Works, of California, told the Senate
to-day that a standing army of one
million men would be necessary to
defend the United States against posi-
BILE invasions and declared that the
Pacific coast was completely at the
mercy of Asiatic attack.
Senator Works spoke on the sub
iect of national defense but particu-
larly to propose as a test of the
scheme of preparedness the creation of
a mobile land force and military re-
serve of two hundred Thousand men
at cost of $5O,OOO.OOO a year for
ten years.
The proposed enlisted men in civil
and military reserve would be settled
according to the Works bill, with their
families in comfortable five-acre tracts
provided by the government, supple
menting ten months of productive
work at re-forestration, irrigation and
flood prevention, with two months of
military training each year. They
would be soldier-settlers under control
of the Secretary of Interior in times
of peace and subject to orders of
the war department in times of war.
