Deutsche Bank Admits
Giving Cash to Schmidt
Did Not Concern Itself With
Purposes of Payment to
Rolo's Paymaster

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 18. - The
Deutsohe Bank admits in the "Vossi-
sohe Zeitung,' which prints four col
umns on the Bolo Pacha affair, that it
transferred money, amount not stated,
10 Amba ssador Won Bernstorff through
Hugo Schmidt. The bank acted upon
instructions from source generally
responsible for payments to our ambas
sailors and did not concern itself with
the purposes TO which the money was
applied.
The "Deutsche Tageszeitung" makes
the Bolo affair the text for on attack
on the judgment and ability of Won
Bernstorff, whose candidacy for the
Imperial Chancellorship evidently is
still feared by the pan-Germans.
Bolo Pacha, now under arrest in
Paris as n German spy, came 10 this
city in February, 1916 and got nearly
81. ZOO, 900 from Won Bernstorf, then the
German Ambassador at Washington, to
finance his activities in France, which
included a plan TO bring about sepa-
rate peace between France and Ger
many. according 10 testimony obtained
by State Attorney General Merton r..
Lewis early this month.
Hugo Schmidt formerly represented
the Deutsche Bank in New York, and
he has admitted that he acted as pay
master in the Bolo affair. Schmidt told
the Attorney General he did not know
what use was TO be made of the large
sum he paid TO Won Bernstorff and did
not know BolO Pacha personally.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA.

II you know soma one who IA troubled

ana you may have been the means OF saw
tng some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. We believe that Catarrh, Ca.
earrhai Deafness, head noises, etc, are
caused BY constitutional disease, and that
saves, sprays. inhalers. etc, merely tenn.
poriEe with the complaint and seldom ~
ever, effect a permanent cure. This being
%. much time has been spent In perfect
tng a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic tina
should quickly dispel all traces of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system. The
sffectivo prescription which was eventu-
ally formulated ia given below IN an un-
d~erstandable form so that any one can
use Il In their own home at little expense.
Secure from your druggist ! or. Par
mint Double Strength. Take this home
and add to IL \ pint Of hot water and 4
%. Of graduated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful -four
times a day.
The first dose should begin IN relieve
the distressing head noises, headache.

s-H0UR LAW DlSCRIMINATES?
Railroads Maintain Adamson Law Is
In interest Only of Best-Paid
Employees.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The Supreme
court continued hearing of the test
case brought TO decide the constitu-
tionality of the Adamson act, with
the railroads presenting their side Of
the controversy.
In outlining the railroads attack
upon the law, Walter d. Hines, chair
man of the railroads general commit
tee of attorneys, laid stress upon the
carriers contention that the law is not
a limitation OF hours of employment,
but merely a wage-fxing statute. He
denied that congress is given power
to fix wages under the constitution.
The railroad employees, the car
rlers also contended, are not bound
by the law to remain in service and
not strike, although the law is bind
ing upon the railroads.
