WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Awaiting confirmation from official sources as q necessary preliminary to any action by the United States, state depart ment officials were interested today
 n the report from London that the Japanese government has revived all of the demands upon China included it the famous Group Five" of the list of proposals submitted to the Pelling government more than a year ago for a permanent settlement of outstand- ing issues between Japan and China
 There is a conviction in official cir cles here that any acton at this time likely to have results toward Warding eff the new Japanese demands must be taken by the United States prac- ticallv alone With every evidence of $ ympatnetic interests by the European entente allies in the attitude of oppo- sltion which the United States took when the proposals on the Group Five" originally were submitted it is believed. none of these powers will be inclined to take issue with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily upon their oriental ally, not only for munitions of war. but for military and naval protection of their interests in tke orient.
 The close study that has been made in Washington of the proposals en-
 bodied in Group Five has only con flrmed officials to their original be- lief tha. if accepted in full by China. without protest from other nations they would lead not only to material and industrial but even political dom
 ination of China by Japan.
 Japanese advisers for the China government with resulting exclusion of all other foreign advisers from
 Peking. it is felt, would place China l completely under the political control Ot Japan.
 While not prepared to make an is sue on that point however, the state department is convinced the other provisions of Group Five finally
 would close to American commerce and enterprise the open door in China It is gathered from the British newspaper advices that in addition l to revising the demands in "GrouI Five" as they stood at the close O. | the negotiations in Peking last Jan- uarv. the Japanese proposals aSalr | include d provision aimed at a bud (Continued on Page Two)

 Hostilities on all fronts having for the moment subsided to unimportant proportions, the political aspects of the war again has assumed the chief role of interest.
 The British parliament is discussing what steps shall be taken to make more rigid the governments plan of keeping goods of all kinds from being imported or exported by Germany. British labor has decided by an overwhelming ma jority to support the government to the full in the prosecution of the war. The German ambassador at Washing ton has presented the American gov ernment draft of a note concerning the sinking of the steamer Lusitania which is believed to meet all the American demands on this issue and which, if accepted by the German gov ernment will end the controversy.
 Great Britain has answered tenta- lively the American protest against de- laying mails. but will reply more fully to the representations when France has signified her approval of Great Britains attitude. Simultaneously comes the announcement that in future French warships will aid the British navy in blockading the English chan nel and the North sea.

An Easy Way To Get
Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach stuffing
it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some foolish
physica. culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
There is preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere which
seemingly embodies the missing elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood. This modern treatment is called
Sargo1 and has been termed the greatest
of flesh builders. Sargol aims through re-
generative, re-constructfve powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to liter
ally soak up the fattening elements of
your food and pass them into the blood,
where they are carried to the starved,
broken down cells and tissues of your
body. You can readily picture what re-
produce with increased weight the
cheeks fill out, holiows about neck,
shoulders and bust disappear and from 10
to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is
added to the body. Sargol is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive, efficient Arnold
Drug Co and other leading druggists of
this vicinity have it and will refund your
money If you are not satisfied, per
the guarantee found in every package
NOTE :-Sargol is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion,
etc. have been reported care should be
taken about using it unless a gain of
weight is desfred-Adv.
