placed the advance information IN the

the responsibility on the shoulders OF
newsoaper men, charging that several
of them had received information
about the peace note even before Wall

Wilson's recent note TO the European Posccrs:

enter any kind of international agreement that
NAV seem most desirable to the nation whether

entirely open to suggestions
1t is the Administration view that the
country can be committed to an abandonment of
the policy of isolation much as President Monroe
committed it to the Monroe Doctrine without
Senate action In the plans so far contemplated,
however, it is probable the nations would be bound
by treaty agreement which would necessarily have
to be ratified by the Senate. SO far as the United

REPLY TO WILSON
PUZZLES FRENCH
Resent Being Put on Same
Footing as Sinkers
of LuSitania
BY FRED B. PITNEl



Paris. Dec. 23.-France expects
soon TO achieve such victory in the
field as will enable the Allies to
make certain that Germany viii
keep the peace treaty that will end
the war-to make certain that the
peace will be fair and lasting.
The French doubt that Germany
could give to-day any pledges that
would assure peace. If the war
should end with the German mill
tary power still IN being, what guar
antec could she give for the future
that any one could accept? German
policy is directed By clique, a
caste. and public opinion there, how
ever much it might wish to observe
the new treaty or TO avoid new
war. could have nothing TO say.
Il will be difficult for France TO
reply to Wilson's note. She is fight
ing for the idea OF justice and for
liberty. and it is very hard to put
int. -urrent terms the things of the
spirit. The terms which France de-
nrands are not territory or money
it is Germany that is fighting for
material things. And it is difficult
to name exact conditions which will
assure peace with nation whose
pledges have proved worthless, and
whose future will depend far more
on the mind of her rulers than on
any concrete facts.
Military Victory Sought
France believes that only victory in
the field-a victory that will destroy
the German machine and teach the
German people and their Kaiser the
folly OF their past course will bring
such q peace. And France expects that
victory soon.
Wilson's note continues 20 be almost
the cole topic Of conversation here.
The thing that causes the most re-
sentiment is that his first attempt to
influence the war as whole comes
just after the German peace note. While
the French do not doubt the Presidents
intent to be neutral. they cannot help
connecting the two documents. This
gives il most unfortunate effect.
Recognition OF American help. es-
pecially in charitable work. has been
the dominant note in French thought
OF America since the war began. The
people freely recognize Wilson's inten-
ton TO be neutral in his latest note, as
in his previous utterances, but they do
not think that this desire Tor Impair
tislity demands that he go so far as 70
nut on the same footing the nation that
sank the Lusitanis, and gloricd in the
act. and France, of all nations.
French Puzzled at Wilson
Il q very hard 20 explain 20 the
French Why Wilson insisted so strongly
and so many times on his desire 20
know what caused the war. They can
not believe it possible for doabt 10
exist in any ones mind on this point.
How can any one think. they ask, that
France had any part in beginning the
conflict. when she was obviously unpre-
pared?
They say that the President, in put
ting the two groups OF belligerents on
.he same footing, has set aside entirely

ASKS WHAT FRANCE WILL DEMAND

vageness France for instance has not disclosed if what
she considers peace the evacuation of her north
ern provinces or addition that the restoration of Asace
Lorraine in addition both those claims she expects
money indemnity for the damage OF INVASION beyond that
has actual programme for doing with so-caled

she would accept to-day as the basis of peace.
Similar issues apply to all the beigeren countries in
merely varying form What President Wilson wants is their
details the largest neutral facing problems and
the friend of all parties concerned the United States feels
most earnestly that is entitled to know those facts Unless
some one the groups lays down its actual terms there will

WHY "ANURIC" is AN
INSURANCE AGAINST
SUDDEN DEATH.

Before an insurance company will take
risk on your life the examining physi-
clan will test the urine and report whether
you are good risk. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog, you suffer from
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells,
or the twinges and pains of lumbago,
rheumatism and govt. The urine is
Otter. cloudy, full of sediment; channels
often get sore and sleep is disturbed
two or three times night. This is the
time you should consult some physician
of wide experience as DR.. Pierce
Of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him
10 cents for sample package of his new
discovery "Anuric." Write him your
symptoms and send sample of urine
for test. Experience has taught DR..
Pierce that "Anuric" is the most power
full agent in dissolving uric acid, as hot
water melts sugar; besides being abso-
lutely harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lthia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as well
as regulating blood pressure. "Anuric"
is a regular insurance and life-saver for
all big meat eaters and those who deposit
lime-salts in their joints. Ask the drug
gist for "Anuric" put up by DR.. Pierce,
in 50-cent packages.
