Bail, Row or go Ashore

At the last census the United
 States contained two and a quar-
 ter million white males, twenty one years of age or over, who were not citizens and had not de- clared intention of becoming citi- zens. Many of them are subjects of the Central Powers. But many others are subjects of the Allied Powers; and a recent act of Con- gress authorizes the enlistment and recruiting of them for mili- tary service under their own flags.
 The enlistment and recruiting ought to proceed briskly. This is a poor time for man without a country.
 The man who chooses to live in the United States because he finds it offers him attractions and op- portunities superior to those in his own country, and who yetrejects its citizenship, is always in the rather dubious position of the passenger who insists upon keep ing his seat in the boat; but de- clines either to bail or row. If he did not find superior opportunities here he would not be here; yet he refuses to acknowledge any obligation to the community that made the opportunities.
 misunderstanding to our unfortunate experience-the man who grabs American oppOrtuni- ties with one hand and waves of American citizenship with the other finds it necessary to justify himself by whole and chronic dis arrangement of the country he prefers to his own, so far as liv- ing in it is concerned. He does not like his own country well enough to live in it, and he does not like this country well enough to express any obligations toward it or approval of it.
 Apparently nothing short of heaven will satisfy him to such a degree that he can really accept it
 This is a poor time for such playing heads I win-tails-you- lose with citizenship. Some pret- ty big issues are astir in the world today. Let a man choose a ag.-Saturday Evening Post.

Pine Bluff People Should Not Neglect
 Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most frequent signal of weakened kidneys. To cure the pains and aches, to re- move the lameness when it arises from weakned kidneys, you must reach the cause.-the kidneys. If you have pain through the small of your back, urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy spells, or arc nervous and de- pressed, start treating the kidneys with tested kidney remedy.

Formerly we saw how Lutheranism was reformed in Europe by the Jesuits, and others; now we see the same process in America. All this has happened "in Gods wise providence" too.
 Lastly, we find that new life was injected into the American Lutheran church by the arrival of dissenters from the German brand, which was accused by them of tolerating error and false doctrine. This is enough to make Dr. Luther in his shroud of "apostolic purity turn in his grave. although we think he should rest peacefully enough on the pillow of Like father, like son."

 way you look at iD for, as "parti- cular church. she is (accordng to the "Historical'' survey) more than 30 years older than the Catholic church Z. From the survey we learn that Luther did not found new church to be called the ''Evangelical Luth- eran Church, yet later on, it is calm ly stated that the date, October 31, 1517, when Dr. Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg, has been called the birthday of the Lutheran church. In other words we learn from this Illuminating survey that Luther gave birth to the Lutheran church, but also that he did not. In honor of the quadrcentennial we suggest that questionable Katy might give way to doubtful Luther in the old daisy game of Katy did, she didn't" etc.

 GERMANS SAFETY
Germany Informs Washington Men Be Held Until Shc HaS tsSurance Men and Ships Here Not
 to Be Detained.

Washington, Feb. 12-Formal noti. fication of the retention in Germany of the 72 American sailors brought into Germany after their capture on the British steamer Ylrrowdale. was given to the state detartment today by Dr. Paul Ritter, tho Swiss minis ter here, acting for the German gov ernment, together with enquiries as to the status of the crews of the Ger q man warbound ships in American harbors
 Germany, pr. Ritter said. had d.> cded to hold the Yatrowdale pris oners until she had had definite as surance that German crews in American harbors would not De held or imprisoned.
 This development, wholly uncx gected, was amazing to the Ameri- can government. Officials here had come 10 the conclusion that the carly report which had been held by the German government as to the treat ment of German crews here had been effectively dispelled by the forward ing of tn complete details. As this included the presidents announce ment that German ships would not be seized. now or in the event of war, and full information as 10 the fair at titude toward German sailors, of ficials are at loss 10 know what could have caused such a sudden change in the German attitude.
 A query was at once Cabled the gov ernor of Hawaii. the only section where German ships are warbound, and where all the conditions are not known here. There is not the slight est thought that any variance will be found there, from the uniform cour- teous treatment accorded German vessels and crews, but officials wan detailed account of. the status of the two war vessels and the eignt German merchantmen there, in order 10 present a final report showing con- ditions in all American harbors. Sucn a report already has been received from the Phillipine Islands, and was included in the blanket statement al ready sent to Germany.
 The eventual release of the Var rowdale prisoners is anticipated, but a protest against their imprisonment will be made at once A peremptory demand for the release of these pris oners was about the last official mes- sage sent former Ambassador Ger ard. The presidents formal state ment 10 congress of the severance oi diplomatic relations with Germany came only few hours after the state department made public the definite news that the Yarrowlale prisoners had been taken to Westphalen. Tho next day came word that they hal been released, and up until today il was thought they would leave Ger many with the other Americans.

STOMACH
 SYMPTOMS

A leading physician of Chicago says: Merely easing the pain wic'l narcotics to give relief is a long way from the cure for stomach trouble. Besides the danger of neglect or in. adequate treatment may lead to more serious maladies. What appear to be only minor troubles are often the symptoms of gall stones, acute indi- gestlon, gastritis, constipation, auto intoxicatlon, yellow jaundice, appen- dlcitls, cancer and ulcers of the stom- ach and intestines, or ether fatal all ments." Stomach sufferers should take warning. Do not have blin faith in treatments that are giving ID results. Much suffering could be avoided, many surgical operations prevented, scores of lives saved had Mayr's Wonderful Remedy been taken in time. It is not a long drawn out treatment. It acts on the very source and foundation of stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, eliminating from the system the hard, poisonous catar- rhal accretions and shows them 0 you.
