ANOTHER GERMAN
PEACE PLOT MATCHING
BY William Philip Simms

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent }
PARIS, Oct. Z. (By Mail-) - The
kaiser and his fellow conspirators
are at this moment preparing to
launch against the allies the subtlest,
but at the same time most powerful!
blow since the original one struck
in the summer of 1914.
The fall of Riga marked the be-
ginning of the downward swing. The
collapse of Russia leaves the way
clear. Only by the cleverest work
on the part of the remainder of the
allies can the blow be parried, for
it is now practically certain that
what Wilhelm II. and his junkers aim
at is nothing less than enlisting, by
a crafty stroke, the public opinion
in allied nations to bring about what
they desire.
And what they desire, in one word
is Peace.
Such is the meaning of the Rus
sian debacle.
On its face the propo sition appears
not only supremely impudent, but
impossible. In reality it may be
very simple. The Intellectuals in
Russia feared this thing before the
czar, Nicholas, abdicated his throne
For a moment it seemed that the new
democracy might ward off the dan
ger. Then chaos came and opened
wide the door. leaving the great
empire-or republic-absolutely al
the mercy of her enemies and Incl.
dentally brought to the allies as q
whole the greatest danger they have
had to face since the start of the
war.
Before Christmas the kaiser is al.
most sure to pose again as the One
Great Apostle of Peace. He viii
try to bring about the end Of the
war at the expense Of Russia and the
Balkans. OF that ! am convinced af.
ter what / heard in Russia ant
amongst scandinavian neutrals. His
offer of peace will be the most vel
vety thing ever seen, the cunningest
piece of Machiavelism that was evel
put forth to trap less vary souls.
The next few weeks will see Prus

Secretary of War Baker used to fish
in a creek called Long Branch in

fished with pin-hools in Long

dies are available. And for colds
whisky is more likely to make a bad
condition worse than to accomplish
any good. This is even more true as
regards pneumonia. Formerly whisky
was supposed to be of some benefit
in certain stages of this disease. Now
it is well recognized that alcohol is
one of the mostsefficient allies which
pneumonia has. A person addicted
to the use Of alcohol, even in so call
ed quantities. is both more liable to
an attack OF pneumonia and more like
ly to have a more severe attack The
germs which cause pneumonia are
everywhere present. Our great safe
guard is not keeping them out of the
body, but Of keeping up the resisting
powers Of the body so that they can
do no harm. Alcohol weakcns the re
sisting powers.
In every line of life where efficiency
is most sought the bad effects of al.
cohol are recognized. Its use has
steadily and greatly decreased among
the armies in the great war. Rail
roads and other industrial concerns
have recognized that the man who
uses alcohol is less efficient than the
man who does not use it at all. The
old belief that alcohol Is even a tenn
porary stimulant has passed away

pensive, as benefits which the rich
can easily enjoy, but which are be-
yond the reach OF the poor or those
in moderate circumstances. But good
health, one of the greatest gifts which
life can bestow. is not expensive
Either by the standard of cost or eff
fort it is easily within the reach of
nearly all Of us. There are some who
from heredity or special circum-
stances are handicapped in the effort
to obtain health, but these are a small
percent OF the community For most
OF us the attainment Of good health
is simply the price OF a little effort
an effort which will bring enormous
rturns in the benefits accruing.
The factors most efficient in bring.
ing about good health cost little. You
may not be able to have the kind Of a
house you would like TO live in. You
may not be able TO follow exactly the
Occupation you most desire. But you
can make the conditions under which
you exist healthier. You can keep
more windows open in the house
where you live or the place where you
work, and fresh air is one of the most
important factors in good health. You
may be able to move further out of
the city, where conditions are more
healthy.
Even If YOU cannot do all these
things, here are many which you can
can do which will cost nothing. II
costs you nothing to take breathing
exercises nor to stand, sit ana walk
erect II costs nothing to keep your
digestive organs in good condition
Almost all OF as can take time to eat
our meals slowly. The foods which
tend for good health often are the
cheapest foods Expensive foods are
lapt to be less healthy 1t should al
so be remembered that we can not
only eat and grow healthy from cheaT
foods, but ii they are properly pre-
lparcd and a proper variety is used
we can thoroughly enjoy them.

est are given first and the most ex
