PLEAsEs cHIcAGoANs.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Declaring that he
didn't care the snap of his finger what
might happen to him politically or
personally afterward, and that II cleo
ted president he would conduct this
national government for the American
people regardless Of partisianship,
Charles E. Hughes last night brought
$4,000 persons to their feet in the
great Coliseum meeting. He had been
in Chicago all day, and everywhere
he appeared in public he was greeted
with great enthusiasm.
Speaking at night in the same hall
in which he was nominated, Mr..
Hughes said he felt a special obligac
ton to tell the people Of Chicago pre-
cisely where he stands.
Policies Of Construction.
He then elucidated the America
efficient" doctrine set forth briefly In
his speech 81 acceptance, and an
nounced for the first time since his
nomination the specific constructive
policies he would support.
Following are excerpts from his
speech:
II had to choose between q gov
ernment with Is per cent laws. and
Is per cent honest administration, or
a government with 25 per cent laws
and IS per cent honest and efficient
administration, would take the lat
ter every time.
II am elected president Of the
United States l propose that every
man that I put in charge of an i'm
portant department shall be man
eminently fit to discharge the duties
of that department.
Now, l am lawyer, but have
grown up alongside Of business men,
and I have respect for facts. I do
not want any hot air in mine.
It is easy for democracy to lavish
its favors and to take little account
of the future The hard thing for
democracy is to be expert, to count
the cost, to look into the future, and
wisely plan.
But we won't have any more, If
can stop it, of these kiss me and I'll
kiss you" appropriations in congress.
We have a financial system in the
United States that would not be tol-
Grated in any corporation In Chicago.
Instead Of having responsible project
presented by the executive, We have a
helter-skelter, unworthy system of
appropriations which will result in
waste and extravaganza Just as long
as it is continued.
There Is nothing new for me in my
declaration for equal suffrage, al.
though it may be new to the country
a. q coming from ma have long held
this view and at time like this you
can't expect me to keep my views to
myself.

PERoNNE UNDER FIRE.

German Headquarters (via Berlin),
Tuesday, Aug. 8.-Since yesterday the
famous old French city of Peronne has
been under French artillery fire, re-.
sulting in great conf1agration which
threatens to wipe it out. Already the
fine collection of paintings of Italian
and Flemish masters has been des-
troyed by shells which landed square
ly in the city hall, where the most
valuable art objects from the museum
had been housed for protection.
In addition the shells destroyed un.
replaceable collections Of medieval
Germanic silver and semiprecious
stone work, Celtic coins dating from
the time of the Roman invasion and
medallions. Houses in some streets
have been reduced to ashes. 1t is con.
sidered doubtful whether Peronne's
celebrated wood houses in the late
Gothic style and the cathedral of St.
John can be saved from the flames.

cases they killed their camels and
drank the blood.
The prisoners say the Turkish

One trooper said a Turkish detach-
ment which surrendered first killed it's
German officers.

WILSON NAMES
AME ER|CANS FOR
BIG NFERENCE
SECRETARY LANE AND JUDGE
BRANDEIS AND ANOTHER TO
MEET MExICANs.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 8. -Secre-
tary Lane of the interior department
and Associate Justice Brandeis Of the
supreme court have been selected as
two of the three American members OF
the Joint commission which will under
take settlement of Mexican border
difficulties. The name Of the third
member will be made public later.
Formal announcement of the ap-
pointment of the commission was de-
layed today only to wait acceptance
from the third man asked by President
Wilson to serve The Mexican men,
bers already have been designated and
Eliseo Arredondo, Gen. Carranza's am
bassador designate, has been author
lied to arrange with Acting Secretary
Polk details as to time and place OF
|, meeting.
Mr. Arredondo called at the state
department during the day and gave
further assurances of the willingness
OF the de facto government to have the
scope of the commissions discussions
as broad as the United States desires.
1t is regarded as probable that the
meetings will be held at some resort
on the New Jersey coast
SaTTanZ0 IN ACCOTU.
Today's announcement followed a
brief conference between Mr.. Polk aT@l
Eliseo Arredondo, Carranza's ambas.
sador designate Final assurance was
given by Mr.. Arredondo that Gen. Car
rama was in complete accord with
suggestions Of the Washington gov.
ernment that in the discussions the
commissioners be given the broadest
possible scope.
AS it begins It's task the commission
will be required first to reach some
conclusion on the specific points out
lined by Gen. Carranza in his original
proposal The first subject under this
view would be the withdrawal OF
American troops from Mexico, to be
followed by negotiations of proto-
col covering future military operations
along the border.
State department officials said 1t
was not necessary for all matters to
be worked out before recomm enda-
tions could be submitted for ratif1ca-
tions. On the other hand, it was re-
garded as possible that each agree
ment reached by the commission
would be reported and acted upon by
the two governments separately.

Decision Contradicts Early
Statement Declining to
Employ Mediators
CHANCE OF STRIKE
OFF FOR A TIME
Federal Boards Appeal to
Trainmen Does Not Fall
Upon Deaf Ears

New York, Aug. s.-The threat
ened strike Of the 100000 railway
employees Of tho United States was
averted today when the railroad
brotherhoods accepted a proffer OF
the U. 8. board Of mediation and
conciIlation to mediate their dif-
ferences with the railroads.
Announcement OF the accep-
tance Of the offer was made by
A. 3. 0arretson, head Of the con-
ductors' brotherhood, after It had
been delivered by q. w. W. Hang
er, member Of the board, following
an appeal to that body to inter-
vene made today by the national
conference Of railroad managers.
Mr.. Garretson said he had In
formed the board that the offer
was accepted on the condition that
"its good offices are promptly ex-
ercised."
The federal board, which Is COM
posed Of Mr.. Hanger, Martin A.
Knapp and Judge w. L. Chambers
was prepared to begin conferences
with the respective sides to tho
controversy before night, 1t was
understood, although at the time
Of Mr.. Garretson's announcement

New York, Aug. 9. The national
conference of railroad managers today
again rejected the demands OF the four
railroad brotherhoods for an eight
hour day and time and half for
overtime and proposed submission of
their differences with the men to the
United States board of mediation and
conciliation.
This proposal, A. B. Garretson In be-
half Of the brotherhoods rejected.
Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad
conference, in proposing that their dill
ferences be mediated by the federal
board, said the brotherhoods had pre-
viously declined arbitration under the
Newlands act, providing for six arbi-
traitors, but that the railroads saw no
other way out of their difficulties than
through mediation.
Afraid Of Arbitration.
Mr. Garretson, reiterating the con-
tention of the brotherhoods that In
previous attempts to settle differences
with the railroads through the federal
boards, the brotherhoods had failed to
obtain satisfactory awards, said that
the unions believed they could reach
q settlement by dealing directly with
the roads.
Chairman Lee then announced that
he would nevertheless appeal to the
federal board of mediation and concil-
iation. This board was at the time in
session at nearby hotel.
Mr.. Lees announcement came after
Mr.. Garretson had expressed his will
ingness to have the railroads make the
appeal. In that event, he said, the
unions could make reply as to their
attitude to the federal board.
This reply, Mr.. Garretson indicated,
after adjournment of the meeting,
would probably be favorable.
Mediators Ready to Act.
Judge w. L. Chambers, chairman OF
the U. s. board OF mediation and con-
ciliation, announced after the adjourn
ment of the meeting that the railroads
had formally appealed to the board to
mediate their differences with the
unions.
The board Immediately prepared 4
communication to the brotherhoods Of
fering it's services which 1t was an
nounced would be dispatched to the
brotherhood chiefs at once. .-
Meantime, it was stated. the board
would remain in session to await the
brotherhood's reply.
It was indicated by members of the
board that the communication was be-
ing sent on the assumption that the
brotherhoods would accept their offer.
A reply was expected before 1 o'clock
today, it was said.
Both sides, after adjournment, went

HOT WATER AND "ANURlC"
BEFORE MEALS---AND HEALTH

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are prone
to eat too much meat and in conse-
quence deposit lime-salts in their AFTER
les, veins and joints. They often suffer
from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago,
sometimes from govt, swollen hands or
feet. Such people are not always able
to exercise sufficiently in the outdoor
air or drink enough pure water in order
to sweat freely and excrete impurities
thru the skin. DR.. Pierce has conducted
experiments and thoroughly tested a
uric acid solvent at his lnvalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute which he is con-
WINGED is many times more potent than
lithia-this he named "Anuric. - 1t
can be had at almost all drug stores by
simply asking for Dr. Pierce's Anurie
for kidneys or backache. 1t will over
come such conditions as rheumatism,
dropsical swellings, cold extremities,
scalding and burning urine and sleep
lessness due to constant need of getting
out of bed at night.
Our grandmothers have told our
mothers and our mothers have in turn

hold prescriptions. These medicines as
put up for sale by druggists have never
been recommended as "cure- alls,' but
only as superior remedies for certain
common and easily-recognized diseases.
Had these medicines been adopted to all
classes and forms of chronic diseases
there would have been no necessity for
organizing u, competent staff of expert
physicians and surgeons, to act in the
treatment of difficult, obscure and com
picated cases of chronic diseases, as
DIR. Pierce maintains in his Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. OF his
home remedies the most widely known
are his "Favorite Prescription for
womanly troubles and run down condi-
-tions peculiar to the womanly sex; his
Golden Medical Discovery the
greatest of all herbal system TONES and
vitalizers, for stomach, liver and blood
disorders, as well as his pheasant
Pellets,' the tiny, tonic laxatives, over
coming constipation and cleansing the
system of poisons and accumulations in
the bowels.
