Allies Not Ready
For Intervention;
AsQu1th Declares
by Associated Press.

LONDON, Nav 31.-Premier Asquith
stated in the house of commons to-
day in answer to a question put by
Sir Arthur 3. Markham liberal MEM
Der, that there was nothing in the re-
cent statement made by Dr. Won Beth
-Hollweg, German imperial chan
cellor, that indicated Germany was pre-
pared to consider terms of peace which
would safeguard the interests of the
entente allies and the future peace of
Europe.
Sir Arthur's question apparently was
designed finally to set at rest any sug-
gestion that the entente allies were
prepared to accept Intervention. In
putting his question he referred to the
fact that in the German reply to the latest
American note it was pointed out that
Germany had twice announced her readi-
ness to make peace.
He then asked whether the allies
were prepared to avail themselves of
the good offices of a neutral state in
order to communicate to the German
government definite terms on which they
would be willing to make peace pro-
vided the German government were
prepared to make in the same way and
at the same time a communication to
the allies of definite terms on which
Germany was willing to make peace"
The premiers reply was received with
cheers.

Ny Fellow Countrymen.
Many circumstances have recently

critical examination of the conditions
of our national life. of influences which
have seemed TO threaten to divide US
in interest and sympathy. of forces
within and forces without that seemed
likely TO draw us away from the happy
traditions of united purpose and action

that 1 should call your attention to the
approach of the anniversary of the day
upon which the flag of the United
States was adopted by the congress as
the emblem of the union, and to sug-
gest to you that il should this year.

in every community, the 14th day of
June be observed as Flag day with spe-
cisl patriotic EXERCISES, at which means
shall be taken TO give significant ex-
preston to our thoughtful love of Amer

sion of liberty and justice to which we
have devoted ourselves as a people, our
pride in the history and our enthusiasm

resolution to demonstrate to all the

Up in Very Short Time

T. u. Watts, a well-known citizen of

there told of the remarkable recovery
of his brother-in-law. Jesse Walker, of
Langley. 5. C. which caused such gen.
uine establishment to everybody in the
community WHO had known anything
about AIR. Walkers serious condition.
that hundreds of people have FASTENED
to procure. the medicine and are now
using it.
Jesse was down in bed for ten weeks
and his muscles would literally draw
up" said AR Watts. and this medicine
got him up after he'd taken three bot
ties. but to Save my life I don't see
how on earth il did it, for he was in
about as bad a fix as man could be.
He had a bad form of rheumatism
that sent pains down his back and legs
all the time and didn't seem to ever let
up. day or night. He suffered so he
couldn't sleep Al all and couldn't move
around enough to get out of bed.
HE was just as nervous as he could
be and had high fevers off and on dur
ing all this time. He had terrible head
aches and his stomach was so upset
that he was nauseated and seldom had
any appetite or desire to take noIIrish-
ment of any kind. The fact is, his sys-
tenn was simply broken down with nerv-
BUSINESS and pain.
He got some Tanlac and started in
on it, thinking maybe, that it would stop
the sick stomach and make him eat
little, but the way it helped him and
went after the pains and other trouble
simply astonished him and everybody
else. Three bottles actually got him up
and put him to work and anybody in
his neighborhOod will tell you the same
thing. He seems to be relieved in
every way, for he eats what he wants
and his nerves are quiet and he sleeps
as well as he ever did i'm his life The
fact is, he is strong and well and he
looks like he had never had a pain"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in all principal towns of the south.
