Keeps Principles Of
Humanity in View.

The German government attaches no
less importance to the sacred principles
Of humanity than the government of the
United States. II again fully takes into
account that both governments for many
years CO-opcratcd in developing interna-
tional law In conformity with these pfin-
Ciplos. the ultimate object Of which has
always been to CUnfine warfare on sea
and land to armed forces Of belllgereuts
and 20 safeguard as far as possible non
combatants against the horrors Of war
But although these considerations are Of
great weight. they alone would not under
present circumstances have determined
the attitude OF the German government
For IN answer to the appeal by the gov
eminent Of the United states on behalf
OF the sacred principles Of humanity and
International law, the German govern
ilant must repeat once more with all
cmphasH that II was not the German
but the British government which ignored
all accepted rules Of international law ana
extended this terrific war 10 the lives and

A stonehsnqe Legend.

Friar's Heel is the name given to
large stone at Stonehenge, England.
An interesting tale surrounds the plac-
ing of this stone in its present up
right position. 1t is related that Geof-
frey of Monmouth said that the devil
bought some stones of an old woman
in Ireland, wrapped them up in withies
and took them to Salisbury plain. Be
fore he got to Mount ANDRE the withies
broke and one Of the stones fell into
the Avon; the rest were carried to the
plain. After the fiend had fixed them
in the ground he cried out, "No man
will ever find out how these stones
came here" A friar replied, That's
more than thee can TELL" whereupon
the fend threw one Of the stones at
him and struck him on the heel. The
stone stuck n the ground and Is said
to remain there to the present hour.

DROPSY TREATED FREE.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, The Great
Specialist, Will Send Il 1918
Trial Treatment Free.
Many Cases Report Cured after Doc
tors Failed.

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsy; a little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles, or abdomen. Finally there
is great shortness of breath, smother
ing spells, sitting up to breath, cough,
faint spells, sometimes nausea and
vomiting, even bursting of the limbs
and lingering and wretched death
if the dropsy is not removed.
DR.. Miles has been known as a
leading specialist in these diseases
for 80 years. His liberal offer is GER
tainly worthy of serious considera-
ton. You may not have another OPP
portunity.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment con-
sists of four dropsy remedies in one,
also Tonic Tablets, and Pura-Laxa
for removing the water. This treat
ment is specially prepared for each
patient and is much more successful
than that of most physicians. 1t re-
lieves usually the first day, and re-
moves swelling in six days in most
cases. Delay is dangerous. Mr..

full testimonials.

Highway Commission Report.

Iowa spent 100000 in 1915
improving the roads and bridges,
100000 less than in 1914, accord
ing to the report of the state high
way commission filed with Governor
Clarke. The wet weather of the sum-
mer seriously delayed road work, but
much was accomplished nevertheless,
the commission asserts.
The important recommendations
made by the commission are:
That the patrol system of road
maintenance be established.
That Iowa permit counties to issue
bonds for permanent road work.
That the state automobile fund De
held for state aid for permanent ROAD
work only.
That Iowa make appropriations to
correspond with federal road appro-
priations available in this site.
That convict labor be employed IN
the quarries to get out broken stone
for road work.
That the state adopt uniform sets
of regulations for motor traffic such
as are in use in Ohio.
That cross state auto races be dis
couraged.
That no transmission lines be per-
mitted along the public highways.
A detailed statement of the road
and bridge work will be filed after
the commission receives the reports
from the county engineers Feb. /.
Dean Marston, member of the COM
mission added that Iowa is getting
the best bridges and culverts of any
state in the union and that other
states are recognizing it. Although
the counties did much in 1915 toward
grading the roads, the work ahead is
SO great that it will take years to
complete the grading alone, unless
the work is speeded up, declared r..
c.. Beard, also of the commission.
More than 121 dangerous railroad
crossings were looked after last year
by the commission. The railroads
this wear have renewed their agree
ment to work with the commission on
plan of widening the present cross
ings and reducing the grades of the
approaches.
The adoption of uniform regula-
lions for motor traffic is recommend
ed for the reason that travel on the
highways is becoming somewhat dan
gerous, the commission says. Cross
state races are discouraged because it
encourages the auto owners to travel
about the state at the highest speed
obtainable from their cars.

to other squadrons at sea or In harbor
and to stations ashore. For the pur-
pose Of obtaining information as to the

Is. of course. invaluable, says the Wire
less World. A great number of cruisers

Der of miles across. The duty of these
ships is to keep a thorough lookout and
report to the ship in the battle feet

semaphore or Morse lamp to the ad-
miral of the battle feet. The cruisers
are sometimes assisted by torpedo boat
1estroyers. Now, II thirty Of these
ships are used it will be readily seen
that the area Of their vision Is enor-
nous, and it would be almost impos-
sible for feet to pass unobserved.
Immediately any of the ships sight the
enemy's squadron they would report at
once by wireless, stating the number
of ships sighted, with their speed, lati-
tude and longitude, etc. The admiral
would then give his orders. also by

ousere.t Dolls In tho World.


The dollies played with by little Mo-
hammedan children are sadly unique.
They are not allowed any features and
are, in fact, little more than mere bun
dies of rags rolled up. Mrs. Penny in
Southern India" recalls the reason for
this deficiency. The Moslems believe
that any human figure that Is made by
man will receive life at the last day
and will reproach Its maker for having
brought it into existence without hav-
ing the power to endow it with human
and spiritual privileges. One feels that
the prophet might have compromised
little when it came to dolls, especially
in view of what was later to happen.
When British rupees were first cir
culated in India the figure Of the SOW
ereign in relief was regarded with dis
trust. Fortunately for the peace of the
merchant the eyeawas so small as to
be almost invisible. Through this loop
hole the followers Of the prophet found
a way Of escape from the difficulty, de-
Gliding that no harm would come in the
use Of the money.
