President Wilson's concern over the
German submarine issue is not entire

where U-boat commanders apparently
have violated the German govern

Indications from Berlin that the i'm.
perial government is about to embark
on a more rigorous submarine cam.
paign against British shipping is the
chief cause of apprehension.
The American embassy in Berlin
has been keeping this government ad'
vised of every development even re

est reports concerning the growing de.
mand for sterner measures against
Great Britain clearly indicate a pros.
pective effort on the part of Germany
to escape the restrictions imposei by
rigid adherence to the American
pledge.
Under the view taken by the state
department that the sinking Of the
steamship Marina was clear violation
of Germany's U-boat Pledges, the ulti'

the government of the United States
can have no choice but to sever diplo

Danger Signal.


If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. Many have used it with TIE
most beneficial results. 1t is espe-
cially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows bad
cold OF an attack of the grip. Mrs.

GERMANS PLAN new DRIVE

the Situation in the Balkans and

London, Dec. 1.-THE British for
eign office stated that the British gov
eminent was consulting with Great
Britain's allies in an effort to reach
very radical solution of the Greek
problem
This announcement is significant In
view of the reports that the allies will
dethrone King Constantine and en-
throne Prince Pierre. the eight-year'
old son of Prince George Of Greece,
with M. venizelos as regent.
It Is stated the ultimatum which the
allies have served on the Greek king
is very brief and probably demands
complete rehabilitation Of Greek
forces, restoration of censorship and
control of all railways under allied
hands.
1t is indicated that the first demands
on Greece may require complete de-
mobilization of the army, restoration
of control by the entente over the
posts, telegraphs and rail railways and she

that a revolution has broken out In
the Cyclades, a group of Greek Islands
in the Aegean sea.
The Greek battleship Hydra, which
Is under the control Of the entente
allies, has intercepted, the Greek id
vices say, wireless messages from King
Constantine addressed to Berlin.
ALL the Greek communities In Egypt,

Deafness Cannot Be Curef1

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
