GERMANY DROPS PLANS.
Belief Accentuated That The Huns
Have Abandoned Annexation Am.
billions.

Amsterdam, Sept. 19.-Advices
from Berlin accentuate the grow
ing belief that GermanyAis gradual
ly preparing the public of the Father
and and the world at large for an
abandonmet of anneXationist plans
aimed at Belgium. Yesterday news
from the Teuton capital reported
these important new sidelights on
this issue:
/. The "Koelnische NolksZeitung," !"
a usually we'll informed organ, cor
roborated report printed with hos
tile coment in the pan-German
"Deutsche Tageszeitung" that all
claims to Belgium have been aban
doned. The Cologne paper significant
" adds that the conclusion is justi-
fed and that decision was reached
with regard to Belgium last week in
harmony with the English view.
2. The German government has re.
Trained thus far from appointing a
successor to Won Sandt as civil gov
ernor of Belgium. The Berlin press
sees in this significance bearing on
that country's future.
3. Adolphus Max, burgomaster of
Brussels, arrested by the Germans in
1914 for his "irreconcilable attitude, y
is to be released, according to Bel.
gium reports. King Alfonso, of Spain
interviewed in his behalf. The con-
templated step of the Berlin govern
ment is taken as ushring in con.
ciliatory policy toward the Belgians.
London, Sept. 19-Relinquishment
by Germany of her claims to Bel
gium will form only a every small
stepping stone," on the road to
peace, a high official stated in COM
menting upon news from Belgium
indicating such course. He pointed
out that there are other conditions
just as important and binding which
Germany must concede before the
entente will meet the central alliance
in negotiations.
Rome, Sept l9.-The central al
lies replies to the Pope's peace mes
sage are expected within few
days, it is stated at the Vatican. Il
was added that the replies will not
be made public until just before the
Vatican clergy's annual retreat, to
ward the end of this month.
A "Just Christian Peace" will be
fervently prayed for during the re-
treat.

Dr.. Cald,oen's Syrup Pepsin Effectiue as q Renledy
 for Constipation

Among older people the various or gans of the body have a tendency to slow up and weaken, and this is us- ually first manifest in a pronounced inactivity of, the bowels.
 Good health IS dependent on regu- larity in this important function; whenever there is the slightest indica- tion of constipation mild laxative should be taken to relieve the sconges- ton and dispose of the accumulated waste. Cathartics or purgatives should not be employed, however; these are too violent in action and their effect is only temporary.
 A mild laxative such as the combin- ation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Peps1n, is the ideal remedy. It is gen tie in it's action, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner, without griping or other pain or discomfort, is pleas ant to the taste. and can be obtained in any drug store.
 MT. Robert LeForgee, SIS Kirxwood Boulevard, Davenport, Iowa, says he always had a bottle of Dr. Caldwell 8 Syrup Pepsin in the house for the past eighteen years, and that by using it occasionally as the need arises, and in this way keeping his health good,
