BRIEF SUMMARY OF
 PEACE SITUATION

The notes of the German, Aus trian and Turkish governments proposing peace negotiations are expected to reach the capitals of the entente powers before Monday night. They were forwarded from Washington late Saturday after noon by cable and were not ac- companied by any expression from the United States government. but 1t Is stated that President Wilson has reserved opportunity to add "n word for peace in some way in the future."
 The transmission of the notes was preceded by visit by Count Fon Bernstorff, the German am- bassadOr, to Secretary of State Lansing, at the conclusion of which the ambassador said they did not discuss peace terms and that the sending of the proposals without comment on the part of the United States government was matter for this country to decide.
 The note to the British govern ment probably will be received in London in time to be read be- fore next Tuesday, when the pre- mier, David Lloyd-George, was to appear before the House of Conn mons, but it now appears unlike Iy that his physicians will allow him to speak on that day.

NO PREMATURE ACTION

President Wilson is known to be ! anxious that the United States shall not impair it's usefulness as a me- y.ator by premature action.
 fa The two-day delay while uniform V Translation of the peace notes was some diplomatists constitute in itself hint to the belligerents of the weight that is attached by American officials to any peace proposal. In the same quarters 1t is pointed out that the de- lay may have had the effect of pre- venting hasty or premature expres- sien by the allied nations, There has been no suggestion. however, that either of these considerations were factors in delaying transmission of the communications.
 Tho unanimous declaration of the Russian Duma against the peace pro- posal aroused great interest here, par ticularly in view of the many rumors during the last few months limiting at possible separate peace for Russia. The Russian empire has been regard ed in some quarters as the keystone in the peace situation and information as to the diplomatic struggle in progress there is meager. It is known, however, that a semi-revolution has occurred against the German clements in the court and the bureaucracy and the action of the council and the Duma recently in acting together for the first time in history is taken as an in dication Of the great strengthening of the anti-German party.

This Further Definition of BOnar Laws Terms Made
 by Arthur Henderson
MEMBER WAR CABINET IS MORE SPECIFIC ION ALLIED ATTITUDE
England Will Hold Peace Can Only Come With Payment to Belgium and Other Overrun Countries
 for Sufferings

London. December 16.--The
 speech delivered last night by Arr
 thur Henderson is commented upon
 as more specific in regard to the
 central powers peace proposals
 than any other utterance from a
 responsible government source. MT.
 Henderson is member of the
 new war cabinet which has su-
 preme authority for the general
 conduct of the war. He defined the
 reparation which Andrew Bonar
 Law declared was still the policy
 of the government as being "rep-
 nration for all that Belgium,
 France. Servia and Poland have
 suffered.-
 Henderson's statement that Great Britain entered the war in defense oi small nationalities" was taken as ar indication that the defense of small 1ationalities would be one of the es. 'entials of security for the future te which MT. Bonar Law referred in gen. .ral.
 One of the foremost diplomatic au. .horities of England and America saic -oday that the trend of public ant governmental sentiment thus far hat shown that three courses were open:
 First, categorical refusal to negoti Ute; second, refusal to negotiate ano ] statement of the essential aims ant purposes of the allies; third, reques 'or Germany's terms, which would bt to disclose to the allies tha -hese terms were impossible of ac. ,eptance. This authority said British sentiment had not yet crystallized a. to which of these three courses shoule pc adopted.

President Wilson Is Careful Not to Take Premature Action and Im- pair Usefulness in Any Pos
 sible Future Mediation

Washington. December 16.--The forwarding today of the central powers proposals for peace re- moved the center of interest in the peace move to the allied capi- tals, particularly London, where the final attitude of the entente as expected to find expression.
 With the announcement that the proposals had gone forward with out any accompanying comment by this government, speculation here turned from what President Will son may do in injecting neutral mediation to what Premier Lloyd George will declare to be the att titude of the allied nations when he speaks Tuesday in Parliament. In three drafts of the proposal ther were differences. because of the trans 1ations made in Berlin, Vienna an Constantinople, which were harmon ized into one official translation, single copy Of which was forwarde to each power

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass Of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form OF
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to'neutralize the
acids in the urine 80 it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

A GOOD COMEDY.

The Peculiar Comedian, w. B. Patton,
will present his new play ''Lazy Bill''
at Turner Theatre for one night only
Saturday, September 30th. Mr.. Patton
needs no introduction to local theater
patrons, as he has been seen here for
many seasons in his various productions
and has many friends and admirers.
"The Ministers Son. The Last Rose of
Summer, "The Slow Poke, and ''The
Blockhead", are still fresh in the minds
OF many who appreciate plays of human
interest.
Unlike most stars with regulations, Mr..
Patton takes unusual care in selecting
his supporting company, which perhaps
is the reason that all of the characters
in his plays stand out to advantage.
The peculiar characters which Mr..
Patton portrays are of those homely,
honest, big hearted, lovable types, which
very few artists are able to handle sue
cessfully without exaggeration. Lazy
Bill is play with peculiar theme which
develops intense interest and grips the
heart. Yet through it all runs vein of
quaint humor. Its scenes are laid in a
small town in upper New York State and
the story is woven around the character
OF DR.. Bill Hale, country physician,
known by everyone as Lazy Bill, but who
in reality, has much skill when he feels
disposed to use it, which is amply proven
before the play ends. Adv.
