rms decidedly Is change In policy
for Rome has more than once made a
peace gesture at the instance Of Berlin
and Vienna, and has been generally re-
garded as pro-Austrian in its general
war policy. Now the Vatican. through
one Of its organs. is preparing TO give
whole-hearted support to the peace pro-
gram which President Wilson outlined in
his address TO the Senate, and which
undoubtedly he wfll initiate and further
in the great peace conference TO follow
the close of hostilities.
The first disapproval at Rome OF
Americas entrance into the war has been
followed by another wave OF opinion
which recognizes American participation
as sure move towards peace.
A curious story came from Paris yes
terday about the German spy system
and submarines. King Constantine. OF
Greece. is playing the last gamble for his
throne in threatening to fight the allies
unless they guarantee his crown. Un-
doubtedly Berlin influence has forced him
to do this. in an effort TO divert the
Salon!ld force for any pressure on the
bulgarian front in the present delicate
situation.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION
WOULD MAKE SLACKERS.
Army League Head Shows Dangers of
Volunteer Amendments.

IF Congress should adopt any Of the
proposed volunteer amendments to the
Administrations army BILL" said Joseph
Letter, president Of the Army League,
last night, 1T will create a Stacker class
during the war. Every young man who Is
physically qualified and is of military
age, viii be regarded as a Stacker IL he
does not respond TO the call for volun-
teers. As Il is proposed to raise only
10000 volunteers. the millions Of young
men who do not go out with this force
would, by the act Of Congress, be classi-
ned as slaekers
BY the Inauguration Of the universal
military service policy every citizen will
have discharged his duty when he has
registered. II would then be the func-
tion OF the governmental authorities to
determine whether he Is qualified to serve
and whether he is needed. The entire
detenses Of the country could then be
organized upon a scientific basis and in
ncunic conditions.
Any experiment with the volunteer
stem In the present crisis, except in
ti- the regular army and National
7u1Td. viii work a great injustice to
those who volunteer and those who
-cnid eventually be called under a uni
sal military service system
The only objections to the administra-
3E's bill from the standpoint OF the
y3eates OF national defense, is that It
5 not give the country a permanent
icy. There are no provisions in 1t by
n in the future young men can be
cd In peace for war. 1t is the con-
rsation OF the policy Of waiting for the
aration OF war before any attempt
r'ade to prepare the country to de-
send ftself"

A Coated Tongue ?--W What it Means
(BY DR. L. c. BABCoCK.)

The liver acts as q guard over our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation.
A blocks1e in the intestines piles
q heavy burden upon the liver. If
the intestines are choked or clogged
up, the circulation of the blood be-
comes poisoned and the system
becomes loaded with toxic waste,
and we suffer from headache, yellow
coated tongue, bad taste in mouth,
nausea, or gas, acid dyspepsia, Ian
guor, debility, yellow skin or eyes.
At such times one should take q
pleasant laxative. Such a one is
made of May-apple, leaves of aloe
and put into ready-to-use form by
DR.. Pierce, nearly fifty years ago,
and sold by all druggists as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about a stagnant con-
dition in the circulation-most every
one is filed with uric acid. This
uric acid in the blood often causes
rheumatism, lumbago, swelling of
hands or feet, or q bag-like condition
under the eyes. Backache, frequent
urination or the pains and stiffness
OF the joints and high blood-pressure
are also often noticed. have found
that Anuric, double or triple strength,
is an antidote for this uric acid
