CASE OF THE LINER
MINNESOTA NOW
FULL OF MYSTERY

San Francisco. Dec. 9.--That eith-
er Captain Garlick of the crippled
Hill liner Minnesota, struggling
northward In tow along the coast,
Is not telling all he knows OF affairs
aboard, or that the agents here are
concealing some information, was the
belief prevailing along the water
front today.
Port Captain Wiley of the line
claimed Garllck denied any mutt
neers or spies had crippled the YES
sel--that the troubles were solely
mechanical.
On the other hand. It was regarded
MS significant that the steamer City of
Para, landing here today. picked up
a long code message from Captain
Garlick to the Hill line here. That
this. indeed. revealed much to clear
up the mystery Of the crippled food
laden ship is generally believed.
Some suggest that the length and
secrecy OF the message indicated that
It revealed something more than a
mere statement that the vessel is af-
flicted only by mechanical ailments.
A deep silence meantime has set
tied over those who may know all the
details. There is from them no ex-
planation OF early reports that the
ship has aboard mutineers in irons.
San Diego reports that Captain
Garlick had refused to answer wire
less requests for information sent by
newspapers and other interested par
ties. seemed significant.

Berlin, Dec. 9.--Germany Ia read,
TO harken to peace proposals.
But these proposals must be com
patible with Germany's safety and
dignity" Moreover. Germany feels Il
would be folly to make overturct
herself at q time when enemy states
mems guilt or ignorance" are en-
tangled with the confusion OF the
public.
Such are Germany's ideas on peace
made known to tho world today
for the first time through speech
by Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollwee
before the reichstag In answer to the
Interpolation by Socialist Member
Scheidemann.
Germany. however. SCOTS at enemy
Views that she can be starved into
submission; she wonders why, with
her armies triumphant on every
front, the enemy does not propose
n halt. Upon Teuton shoulders hence
forth. Hollweg declares. there can
be no guilt for continuation Of the
struggle.
IA glance at the map" he said

scious OF her strength and successes
Germany can now speak for peace
without risking being considered
weak-hearted or dispirited.
AT tho same time. he protested
against the dreamers who see an
nexations in the wake OF the struggle,
"But." he added, 1T 10 equally
foolish for our ehemies TO advocate
dlsmembermen OF Germany or O
crusade against so-called Prussian
militarism."
Moreover, he branded It folly for
the French to continue to desire
possession OF Alsace-Lorraine. But
In demanding q statement as to Ger
many's peace terms, he asserted that
Notwithstanding her great victories,
Germany also has made great sacri-
ilces.
"The question OF peace Is upper
most In the minds OF belligerents,"
he said. Statesmen, however. do
not know how to begin negotiations
because they consider II would be
taluen as a confession OF Weakness
In this connection. he mentioned
Lord Courtney's peace address to
parliament, and the agitation OF ltal-
ian socialists for peace, He quoted
Count Andrassy as authority for the
statement that the longing for peace
Is general In France.
"The war;" he suggested, lis
bringing Europe to the verge Of
ruin"
However, he assailed the idea that
1t Ia possible to starve Germany. The
census, he pointed out, showed 20,-
100000 Kilograms OF grain and S.
100000 Kilograms Of potatoes, and
these amounts are enough to last
Germany for o long time.
In concluding. he denied that Ger
many is seeking world leadership. as
enemy nations maintain. She wants
merely to be equal with other na-
tions. BY moving toward peace now
Germany may gain the glory she first
dreamed Of, he suggested.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonlshlng statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
lected Is because kidney trouble is 90 com.
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that a
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties. would be
blessing to thousands.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
Is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
ana gentle in its action and its healing in
nnence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. II will surely and effectively over.
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
