House Democrats Agree to Extend
Life of Measure, Without Change,
Until Dec. 81, 1916.

Washington, Dec. 14.-House Demo
Gratis in a caucus agreed to support a
resolution designed to extend the life
of the present emergency tax, without
change until Dec. 81, 1915.

out of the way.
Representative Kitchin explained
after the caucus that the years extern
sion did not mean necessarily that the
tax would be imposed during this full
period. It's future will depend he said,
solely upon what course other revenue
legislation takes. 1t is possible, he
said, that the present tax law will be
entirely repealed or amended mate

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent THEN
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of SO.
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
OF the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organise
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy ia

The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot

PEARY FOR SWISS ARMY PLAN
American Admiral Declares System
is Economical and Develops
Right Kind of Men.

New York, Dec. 14.-The adoption
of the Swiss system of military
training by states and the establish
nent of an adequate aerial coast pat
rol as means of preparation for
national defense were urged by Rear
Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S. N,
retired, at a dinner of the Economic
club of New York, here. The first
aerial patrol station, the rear ad-
miral said, would soon be opened at
Casco Bay, Maine, in charge of two
trained aviators.
The Swim system, the rear ad-
miral said, is economical and the
time and money expended on it is
not wasted, as it is valuable as a
peace asset, because it develops the
right kind of men.

GENERAL IMPRESSION THROUGH
OUT COUNTRY THAT JUSTICE
WOULD MAKE THE STRONG
EST CANDIDATE.
ROOT is CONSIDERED BEST
EQUIPPED FOR PRESIDENCY
Preliminary Gathering Of Republican
National Committee Discusses
Best Possible Naturalization
Is Undoubtedly Third in
Favor.

Washington, Dec. IA. = Justice
Charles +. Hughes will be compelled
to declare he would not accept a
nomination If it we're offered, if he
desires to stop the consideration OF
his name as a presidential POSSIBLE
ity.
This has been clearly developed at
the meeting Of the Republican Ma
tionaI committee. The members are
here now and conferences have been
In progress every minute of the day
In the lobby of the Willard hotel.
Through IL all runs the story Of
Hughes as a possibility This is
rather grudgingly admitted for there
is an undercurrent of feeling that if
Justice Hughes were elected, the Re
publican party might be as widely
split when his term was concluded
as it is now
Popular Throughout Country.
Throughout the country, as the
committeeman bring the story, there
is a general impression that Hughes
would make the strongest candidate.
His aloofness while others are chas-
ing after the nomination apparently
adds to the impression.
Coupled with that is a prevalence
of talk for Root, and the equally gen
eral impression throughout the Unit
ed States that Root is by far the
best equipped for the office, mentally
barring none, not even Hughes. It
would be Root iH a walk if it were
not for age and his political history
1t Is not anticipated that Justice
Hughes will declare he will not &C
cept the nomination.
Preliminary Campaign Continues.
There were those in attendance at
the preliminary gathering Of the COM
mittee who express the belief that
Justice Hughes will not only make
no further statement relative to the
consideration of his name but will
accept the nomination should it
come to him
Whatever course Justice Hughes
may take the preliminary campaign
will 60 on Just the same. Especially
IS this true IN states like Minnesota,
which hold primaries, where it is
necessary to get behind some candi-
date and where presidential primary
laws make no provision for the cleo
ton of delegation without choice.
Burton Third in Favor.
It is not known what attitude Sen
ator Root will take relative to his
own candidacy. That he will be any
thing more than a receptive candi-
date is doubted
With Hughes and Root as the fav-
Drites, Burton, Weeks and Fairbanks
are discussed as the best possible
material, Burton is undoubtedly third
In favor. One of the arguments
against Burton Is the attitude of his
own state. His people are for him
but not enthusiastically.

Washington, Dec. 14-Austria-H Hun
garys reply to the American note on
the sinking of the Italian steamship
Ancona is looked for by the state de-
partment officials before the end Of
this week. This expectation was eX-
pressed yesterday after Baron Erich
Zwiedinek, charge of the Austro-Hun-
garian embassy, had conferred with
Secretary Lansing regarding the note,
and attempted, it was understood, to
gain informally, for the information Of
his government, an understanding of
what would satisfy the United States.
The charge, it was said, did not indi-
cate what the action of Australian
gary might be, explaining that he had
not heard from the foreign office upon
the subject.
"Acquiescence of Germany"
Another report was that the charge
told Secretary Lansing that if the
facts in the case were as the United
States had cited them in the note the
Austro-Hungarian government would
without doubt accede to the demands.
Much attention has been attracted
in official and diplomatic circles by
that portion Of the note which referred
to the "acquiescence of Germany in
the attitude Of the United States to-
ward the use of submarines in attack
ing vessels of commerce.
Conversations between Secretary
Lansing and Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador looking toward
settlement Of the Lusitania controver-
sy have been in progress for many
weeks and it is stated authoritatively
that the views of the United tates
and Germany are still SO widely diff
ferent that faint hope is seen of an
early agreement.
