A SAFE TEST

Forthose whoare in need of a remedy
for kidney troubles and backache, it
is a good plan to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They are strongly recommended
by grateful people.
James IngIe, retired stationary
engineer, Plainfeld, Wis, says: DO
ans Kidney Pills aren't a new medi-
cine to me. 7 have used them off and
on during the past few years and have
always found that they act just as
represented. My kidneys bothered
me by acting too freely. I had lame
back and pains across my loins and
mornings I felt stiff and lame. Doan's
Kidney Pills regulated the action of
my kidneys and relieved the backache
and lameness. They benefited me IN
every way"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Do
ans Kidney Pills-the same that Mr..
Ingle uses. Foster Milburn Co.. Props.

The Government is
d Partner ire the
Brewing Industry

ME partnership Of our Government and the
Brewing industry was entered into during the
Civil War for the pl1 pose Of increasing war
revenues. The bill creating this partnership was
signed by President Lincoln with tie distinct
understanding that the sure would be repealed
as soon as war conditions justified its repeal.
AS matter Of fact tn Brewers of America
Ooiu1tarfiy rendered the Gtre~r1ent tie sum Of
SO cents per barrel every barrel Of beer brewed
This was done by the Brewers in spirit of loyalty
fairness and justce-a willingness to bear their full
share Of the heavy war revenues.
The United States Government accented the
Brewers offer with the understanding that it was
but temporary relief measure which, in the
opinion Of Lincoln, would be repealed as soon as
war conditions justified its repeal
But that which was voluntarily rendered to the
Government as a contributior1-an was accented
as such-has since been imposed as a permanent
tax. Not only that but the tax has been doubled
and tripled. The beer tax was so cents barrel
for many years after the Civi1.War. The normal
tax was later increased to $1O0 and at the begin
ming Of the Spanish-Anerican war in 1898, the tax
was jumped to $500 per barrel
After the war was over, the normal tax of
act raised the tax to $3.50 per barrel-and every
Brewery in America is paying that sum to the
Government now.
Can one partner in a business take
at0ay his partners share uOHhout just
compensation? Certainly not!
IF you were in business with another and YOU
could not agree, you would buy out your partner,
or he would buy you out, paying fair price for
the business. There would be no cor7fscQtion-no
taking the partners property without fair or lust
payment therefore. Such procedure would be
robbery.
In fairness or justice, then, can Government
be it National, Or State, or Municipal away
its partners interest in business without fair and
just compensation?
When anyone's property or business = his
source Of income or 1ivelhood-is taken away or
destroyed by legisation-by an act of the voters
by your act, if you please-is not the one so
injured entitled to compensation for his loss?
You would not want your business DESTROYED
by legislation r0hott compensation you be
party to legislation that would deny the same
right to others?
Remember this
Compensation simply means
that fair payment shall be made for
aohate0er property is destroyed by the
cote Of the people.
Would you forcefully take ANYTHING that did
not belong to you without paying for it?
Think it over!

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE hopes oil
the Administration to avoid break
with Austria have been dashed. Inc
severance of diplomatic relations may
come any day. At the same time prob
ably will be announced a break with
Turkey and Bulgaria.
Ever since the break with Germany
the state Department mas been unable
TO hear from American diplomats IN
Constantinople and Sofa. In the case
OF Turkey there is great concern be-
cause OF the large number cf Amerl-
cans there.
The State Department is without any
official information concerning the res-
sons for the detention OF the farrow-
dale seamer. This government viii
defer action until it has the facts. 1t
then will renew its demand for their
immediate release.

ton of the present war before his or

last night. It announces that the
writer has learned that teachers have
been talking 10 their classes about the
war and even taking votes among theIr
nuniIs 10 see which side they favored.

Germany Puts Blame
on Swiss Minister

London, Feb. 1.-THE German Off
cial version of the proposals made
through the Swiss Minister in Wash
ington for a conference on submarine
questions is given in the following Off
cial telegram, says Reuters Amsterdam
correspondent:
What lies at the bottom of this re-
port is the following: A telegram
from the Swiss Minister in Washington
was transmitted to Germany by Swift
zerland in which the minister offered,
if Germany was agreeable, 70 mediate
in aegotiaticns with the American gov
enment about the declaration Of pro-
hibited areas, as thereby the danger or
war between Germany and the United
States might be diminished.
"rhe Swiss government was then re-
quested TO inform its minister at
Washington that Germany, as before,
was ready to negotiate with America in
case the commerce barrier against our
enemies remained untouched
AS is obvious, Germany could have
entered into such negotiations only on
coGdition that, firstly, diplomatic rels-
tions between America and Germany
should be restored. aud, secondly, that
the object Of the negotiations could
oniy be certain concessions respecting
American passenger ships.
"Ihe irterdiction Of overseas imports
proclaimed against our enemies through
unrestricted submarine warfare would
thus. even If diplomatic relations with
America were restored, be in no cir
cumstances relaxed.
"The reply OF the Swiss Minister at
Washington expressed very clearly that
IN the resolute carrying out of our
U-boat war against the entire overseas
import Of our enemies there is fer us
no iMIning back"

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE burning
and sinking of the American schooner
Lyman VI. Law. reported to-day by
American Consul Treadwsy. at Rome.
caused little excitement in official
circles. The craft apparently was
warned. the crew was saved end the
cargo was conditional contraband.
Although this government has never
recognized the right of belligerents to
destroy contraband carried IN neutral
bottoms, it is realized that this incl
dent is not one to go TO war about.
The submarine is thought TO have been
Austrian. but this will not influence
this governments position toward Aus
tria.
Consul Treadway forwarded dis
patches from the Italian Minister Of
Marine and one from the British Con-
sui at Caglisri. A psrsphrase of the
MiI ister Of Marines dispatch follows:

WARNS CONVOYS
OF MINE PERILS
War on Merchantmen
Now in Full Swing
in Barred Zone

London. Feb. IA Berlin Off
cial statement, dated February IA,
referring to news from abroad to
the effect that the marine barrier
against Great Britain, maintained
with submarines and mines, has
been or will be weakened out Of re-
gard for the United States, or for
other reasons, says:
Regard for neutrals prompts
the clearest declaration that un-
restricted war against all sea
traffic in the announced barred
zones is now in full swing, and
will under no circumstances be
restricted.
An Amsterdam dispatch TO
Reuters says that an obviously in
spired article has been published in
a majority Of the German papers
dealing with the convoy of neutral
ships through the barred zone. The
article says that, conveyed or not,
merchantmen in the restricted region
viii be exposed to all the possibili-
ties of intensified submarine war
fare.
II adds that submarines would not
attack neutral war vessels acting as
conveys, but that such vessels would
enter the prohibited zone st their own
risk in view OF the danger from mines
Another dispatch states that there
is great activity in the German ship
yards, many Of which are turning out
submarines

AUSTRIA FIRM FOR
SUBMARINE WAR
Vienna Wishes to Avoid Break
with United States, Is Report

I.ordon. Feb. 14-Tde following
semi-official statement from Vienna re
garding the relations Of Austria Hun
gary and the United States appears in
the General Anzeigcr" Of Dusseldorf:
Negotiations have been taking place
between Count Czernin (Austro-Hun-
garian Minister of Foreign Affairs
and Frederick c. Penfield (the Ameri-
can Ambassador at VIENNA since the
rupture Of relations between the
United States and Germany. oil the
question Of the future relations Of the
United States and Austria Hungary.
"On the American side a desire has
been shown 10 avoid rupture with
Austria Hungary, because Washington
shriuks from severing all relations
with the Central Powers. Berlin, too,
would prefer that this last bridge was
left unbroken.
THE negotiations between the Aus
tro-Hungarian Foreign office and the
American Ambas sador have ND to new
led TO no result. but negative or posi-
tive settlement may be reached IN a
few days.
The opinion prevails in Vienna and
Berlin that the decision TO embark
upon ar intensified submarine warfare
did not constitute an action which
should have forced the United States
10 such a policy as has been chosen by
Washington toward Germany. ... The
Central Powers have no intention OF
cancelling the new submarine warfare.
especially in view Of the impossibility
OF establishing under present methods
of submarine fighting whether there
arc any Americans on board torpedoed
vessels.
"No concessions could be made TO the
United States which would render neg
atiye the nature Of the new submarine
warfare. not even for the sake OF the
highly-valued friendship OF the United
States.
at therefore remains with America
20 find means which will permit the
maintenance Of normal relations. ac-
cording 10 the American conception,
between America and the dual mon
srchy."
