NEWS OF THE WORLD

Kaiser's s empire, and was a close friend of
Bismark He first acquired fame, years
ago, by fearlessly publishing series Of
articles charging unspeakable conditions
of immortality among the members Of the
German court. Harden was sued at that
time, for libel, but was acquitted. AS a
result Of the articles, the Kaiser made a
wholesale dismissal Of counts and princes
of the notorious Ground table,
Kaiser's Malady Reported Serious
Despite denials and assurances to, the
contrary, reports are persistent that the
Kaiser is suffering from malignant throat
trouble, similar to that which caused his
fathers death, having recently undergone
an operation. It is claimed that he is in
danger Of losing his power Of speech.
japanese Premier Says Germany Desires
Separate Peace
Count Okuma, japanese Premier, de-
clares, according to the Tokyo correspond
ent Of a news agency, that Germany has
made overtures to both Japan and Russia
for separate peace, but that they have
been refused.
Electric Hand Invented for Cripples
The invention Of an "electro- -magnetic" "
hand, with which it is possible to grasp
even the heaviest metal objects, and work
with them as dexterously as with the hu-
man hand, has been invented by Director
I'Klingenberg, Of the General Electric Com
pany, of Berlin.
The operator carries an unusually pow
erful battery, making it unnecessary for
him to be near an electric current in order
to magnetic the mechanical hand. The
current is regulated by a switch, operated
by hand and foot. The invention, in all
probability, will solve the problem Of a
livelihood for many crippled soldiers, en-
abling them to engage in various trades.

DEsCARTEs CAPTAIN ADMoN1sHED

The state department at Washington,
has been advised that the French govern
ment has ordered the captain of the
cruiser, Descartes, who recently removed
Germans from aboard several American
vessels, to act with great care and circum-
spection, and not to stop any more Amer
lean vessels in future.
All Germans seized and removed by the

the clearance from American ports, of
American and neutral vessels, carrying
both passengers and war munitions, at
the same time.
Senator Jones, in the course Of his re-
marks, said:
An American citizen who, in the face
of the terrible cataclysm now engulfing
half the civilized world, persists in tray
cling for pleasure or profit in the danger
zone and in a belligerent ship, shows that
he is utterly lacking in patriotism and
wholly regardless Of the rights of human
ity. He is entitled to no consideration
whatever, and for this country to become
embroiled in this trouble on his account
would be colossal crime against human
ity"
A poll taken by representative Of the
Chicago Tribune, discloses the following
situation:
"Thirty senators-twenty Democrats
and ten Republicans-sa they believe the
government should take some step to pre-
vent Americans from travelling on bellig-
erent ships, policy the president has
steadfastly refused to adopt.
Twenty three senator's Democrats
and thirteen Republicans them
selves as opposed to measures to deter
Americans from travelling on belligerent
ships. TWenty-seven senators = eighteen
Democrats and nine Republicans
noncommittal on the question: and sixteen
senators eight Democrats and eight Re
publicans- ns-were absent"
It is openly declared by some editorial
writer's, that William Jennings Bryan is in
reality the author Of the Gore bills, and
this evidence Of his power and influence
in the highest legislative body Of the land,
has caused considerable fear and constern-
alton.
The view that few Americans have no
right to jeopardize the welfare Of the en-
tire United States, by travelling aboard
belligerent ships, has been steadfastly
gaining headway among some Of the lead
ers in congress, although the press Of the
country, almost without an exception has
refused to countenance such stand. The
contention is advanced by some, that if
Americans must travel aboard, there are
plenty Of vessels belonging to neutral ma
tions, on which they can take passage
The declarations Of Gore, Jones and
others, are identical with those expressed
from the platform Of Shiloh Tabernacle,
and through the columns Of The Theocrat,
many months ago, at the very beginning
of the submarine controversy, and it is
gratifying to know that these leaders of
opinion have had the temerity to cham
pion this unpopular view.

Permanent Relief For
Chronic Constipation
KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE OF
0RRECT DAILY HABIT THE
GREAT ESSENTIAL.

Constipation is condition affecting
all classes of all people and can be per
manently relieved only by acquiring
habits of regularity
The most natural time for the elm
nation process is in the morning
when both the muscular and nervous
systems are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readily,
it is an excellent plan to take a mild
laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and
purgatives that by the violence of
their quick action shock and disturb
the system, should not be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not grippe or otherwise disturb the
organs involved, is found in a cOmbi-
Nation of simple laxative herbs known

while he and his wife were attending
services in the church. So far there
is no clew to the thief, but the sheriff's

believed the guilty parties will be run
to bay, as it is impossible for such a
theft to get, away without attracting
attention.
