U. S. PART IN
PEACE PLAN IS
UNDETERMINED
BY CARL o. GROAT
u. p. staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-What
part the United States will play in
furthering Germany's suggestion
for peace is undetermined today.
But these three ideas are In off,
cial minds
That England and her aIlles
should at least discuss the Of
fers.
That any settlement. espe-
cially In Germany's present
frame Of mind, would have TO
be backed by a world guaranty
OF peace.
That the U. S. will not be
stampeded In the peace move
ment.
On the whole. the sentiment here
is that the L. S. ought merely to
act as messenger for Germany and
pass on her proposals.
President Wilson is undecided:
he has not even told his cabinet
what he thinks. But his closest
followers believe this nation ought
to know what the allies think OF
the offer before making any move.
Furthermore. they say frankly
they believe England will scorn the
offer.
In these circumstances, Americas
course must be cautious, officials
hold.
The United Press obtained its IN
formation today from four of the
best informed men in touch with
the administration. Its main i'm
formant was one of the foremost
men in the councils and confidencs
OF President Wilson.

that peace may have been

things stand In the way OF an

presses the belief that the peace
proposal will not be acceptable

KIDNEY DISORDERS
QUICKLY RELIEVED

Wilkinson & Co., the popular drug.
gists have established new record
in the sale Of medicine. They say
they don't believe any medicine ought
to be paid for unless it does the user
some good and they have adopted
the plan of selling Solvax, the stand
ard kidney remedy, under a positive
guarantee of quick relief from all
kidney or bladder misery. or money
back without question. This speaks
eloquently for the virtues of the
remedy that already has created such
widespread demand in Keokuk.
Hundreds of people in every walk OF
life have been relieved Of the agonies
attendant on weak, disarranged or
clogged-up kidneys and bladder by
this remarkable remedy. 1t Is not
Just merely a kidney treatment, it is
a medicine that puts the entire, pain
racked body into normal condition
and gives vigorous health after the
many painful disorders caused direct
ly or indirectly by sick kidneys A
change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses OF Solvax
and it's continued use Will soon tone
up the entire system Of improperly
working organs and give you the de-
sire to live and enjoy life to its
fullest.
Solvax is considered the best kid
ney remedy on the market today be-
cause it aims to cure by striking di-
rectly at the cause of all the trouble.
The many pains and aches caused by
improperly working kidneys cannot
be permanently cured unless the
cause is removed.
Solvax is sold under a positive
guarantee to refund the money II 1t
does not cure. This Is the strongest
proof that can be offered as to the
merit of the medicine. You are cheat
ing yourself out of your slice OF life
if you don't give Solvax chance.
