American Review" believes the Germans
are in trap of their own making. The
militarists will not let the nation make a
peace acceptable 10 the world. And there
is but one kind of peace the world will
consider:
What can all this mean if not that the

1.-TWO Long Peace Statements
i on the Same Day!

L on the Same Day!
"The Nation sees German realization
of failure in the new peace feelers" put
out by the Central Powers. "The Nation"
says:
at could not have been an undersigned CO.
incidence that the German Chancellor and
the Austrian Foreign Minister should on the
same day give out long statements on the
subject of peace. 1t must have been done by
arrangement The two utterances differ in
detail, but their general terror is the same.
Both Germany and Austria desire peace. II
Austria wishes it the more intensely, this IS
doubtless because she is the weaker and the
hungrier But the fortunes of the two are
linked; and if the anxiety Of the Austrian
Government is more acute, that is bound to
reflect itself in the attitude of Germany. In
deed. signs continue that strong pressure
for peace is exerted upon Berlin by Vienna.
The Reichstag peace resolution was partly
forced by consultation between the German
Clericals and the authorities of church and
state in Austria. And in the statement by
Count Czernin there is curious incidental
evidence that the Austrian government was
not wholly satisfied with the speech OF the
new German Chancellor
THAT there are Interior objects in this
renewed talk Of peace by the Teutonic gov
eruments may be true. The hope may be 70
nislead and possibly divide their enemies.
Miehaelis keeps on talking about the selfish
purpose Of France and England IN urging
Russia TO continue TO shed her blood need
Iessly. There may also exist the motive 70
stiffen the courage and resistance OF Ger
mans and Austrians. The Chancellor afhrms
that nothing will satisfy Great Britain ex-
cept the enslavement Of Germany
This is a severe straining Of the known
fact, but II may have the effect Of hogg1ng
up the energies Of Germany. Yet with every
allowance made for all this, every proper
discount made, the undeniable truth remains
that great change has come over the Ger
man government, face To face with the reali-
ties Of wsr.
There is no longer any hope, much less
Official promise, of victory. The old,

TROUBLES within are disturbing but by
l. no means on a scale to cause anxiety
in emselves-though perhaps portent
of unrest. Ollahoma's "hill billies" resist
the draft, railroad trestles are blown up,
men are killed, stock butchered and homes
burned. The uprising is brief, and the
Federal government, reminding the ma
ton that it is actually at war, charges
treason against the 200 men arrested and
awaiting trial. And treason, if proven,
has for its penalty death.
California fears the |. w. W., hearing Of
a threatened attack on the fields and vine
Yards. Again, German money appears to
be attacking the nation insidiously. The
Department of Justice is undertaking
widespread inquiry into the causes OF
labor troubles.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, Representative
in Congress from Montana, startles the
House by asking the President to take
over and operate the metal mines in the
United States The President now lacks
the power to adjust the troubles which are
reducing the output of copper, and Repre-
sentative Rankin asks that he be given
such power as may be necessary. She de-
nounces John D. Ryan, copper magnate,
for the system prevailing in the copper
mines which marks all agitators for closer
organization among the workers and
keeps them from getting work.
AS for suffrage, the Representative
from Montana apologies for not making
her first speech in the House on that SUBJ
ject.

sen, the explorer, pleads for Norway az
Washington, saying Norway will give
guarantees that nothing will be allowed
to pass through to Germany if the United
States so desires. Norway needs fat badly,
as we'll as grain and sugar.
The United States has troubles of its
own, however. The huge increase in the
use of oil in motors of every kind brings
the country face to face with possible
shortage of oil fuel. The high cost Of
-four brings an investigation from the
Federal Trade Commission as part of its
general inquiry into food costs. Mime
apolis and Chicago are both on the
schedule.

More than half Of the building at

Remount Station Enormous.
The plan for the remount station to
be established at Camp Dodge shows
that it will be one Of the largest in
the United States. The plans are for
stable room and equipment for $4,000
horses. The remount station is for the
purpose of preparing and conditioning
horses to take the places of those
killed at the front.

Tho Cause Of Constipation.

Constipation Is usually due to lack
Of water in the excrement. To effect
a cure you must take more water into
the system. It may be months, how
ever, before this has any appreciable
effect on the bowels. but when per-
sisted in and fruit and vegetables con-
tanning water are eaten freely, the con-
dition may be overcome. In the mean
time, use the mildest laxatives obtain

the desired effect. Chamberlain's Tab
lets are one Of the best. They are easy
to take and most agreeable in effect.
