WILSON KNEW PEACE TERMS
Former Hungarian Premier Alleges
President Wilson Knew Teuton
Peace Terms.

Standardization Wilson knows
the peace conditions of the Teutonic
powers and the entente allies can
learn what they are from him, Count
Andrassy, formerly premier OF hun
gary, is quoted as asserting in a dis
patch from Budapest.
The statement attributed to Count
Andrassy was made in a recent speech
He said:
"As the entente allies allege that
our peace proposal vas only d maneu'
yer and was not made with any earn
est desire to bring about peace, am
able to declare that President Wilson
knows our peace conditions and the
entente allies can learn them from
that source
The version of the Budapest dis,
patch received by the Reuter- telegram
company via Amsterdam quotes Count
Andrassy as saying that the peace con
ditions Of the central powers was com
municated to President Wilson, the
quotation being as follows:
az the entente allies reject our
peace offer only because they maintain
that our offer is not honestly meant
but Is a maneuver, and that they can
not enter into negotiations before
knowing our conditions, they can learr
these from President Wilson, to whom
they will be communicated"

Statement The Results
She Obtained.

place, in writing Of her female

for ID years, often I was unable to
work and suffered badly at -. times,
when I could not be on my feet at all.
Really in bad health all the time dur
ing those IA years, and was never
without pain, with awful ba%ckaching,
had no appetite, was nervous, but at
that time my husbands sister .
recommended that l try Cardui, which
! began to take and which has
caused me to be in better health ever
since. In a few days I felt that inn
provement had begun. My back got
stronger and less painful. I got less
nervous and my appetite began to Inn
prove. In a few weeks my improve
ment was noticeable, and I got into
better health than I had had for IA
years. My walking before had been
very painful, and could not stand on
my feet to do any good. After using
these medicines, however, I could walk
without pain and was able to do the
work and housekeeping for an ordi-
nary family. My back and appetite
were better and also my nerves."
If you suffer as Mrs. Elan did, take
Cardui. 1t may be just what you
