WAR PARTY is ANGERED


Washington, Jan. 15.-Ambassador
Gerard's much discussed speech on his
return to Berlin, in which he was
quoted as saying that never since be-
fore beginning of the wal have the re-
iations of the United States and Ger
many been as cordial as now" was re-
ported substantially as made, it was
said at the state department today.
Ihe text will be examined carefully
and 1t is probable some announcement
Will be made later. Ii is stated Off
clally that the departments request of
n ambassador to send on his exact
words Is in no way q reprOOf to him.
but Is a customary procedure.
Ambassador Gerard's speech has
caused more comment abroad, perhaps.
than any utterance by an American
diplomat since the war began. The
German newspapers attached much
significance to it, especially as it fol-
lowed so shortly on Ambassador Ger
ards visit to President Wilson and Sec
rotary Lansing here and on the presi-
dents note to the belligerents.
In general h German chancellOr'a
supporters and those looking to an
early peace approved 1t, while the chan
cellors enemies and those urging Wig
orous warfare regarded his suggestion
that so long as the present German of.
ficials continue in power no trouble was
likely. as an undue interference in Ger
many's internal affairs, which would
justify his recall.

FURTHER PEACE
MOVES PLANNED
But Wilson Will Use Secrecy
In His Efforts to Ultimately
Bring Warning Nations
Together.

Washington, Jam. 15.-President Will
son will go ahead trying to end the
war in Europe and will, for the present.
use underground diplomacy in sound
ing out the situation. lnasmuch as
nothing in the entente reply bars him
from going ahead to use his efforts to-
ward peace he feels constrained to ex-
ert whatever influence he can in what
ever way he can. 1t has to be borne
in mind that the United States based
its effort to get both parties to state
terms on the ground hat it's own in
erests would be ~jeopardi2ed by the in
definite ~prolonsation of the war. This
being the case, it has been plain from
the outset that il the entente or the
central powers did not close the door
to peace the president could not con-
sistently abandon his attempts to bring
closer the end of the conflict.
Nothing has occurred to change the
view which the first reading of the
entente reply produced in Washington
that peace, although it may be has
tened by the recent moves, is still re-
mote and many months of bloody wal
are ahead.
Another great Spring drive on the
Western front will be tried. 1t may be
the supreme effort of the allies. Either
it's success or failure might open the
way to more t~ractable consideration OF
peace terms by the belligerents.
Views of the situation range from the
one of extreme pessimism that the out
look for peace is worse than ever, to
optimistic talk among some admins
tration officials that progress is being
made. The soundest and best informed
opinion seems to be that while the war
seems sure to run on many month
there is something to be gained by
keeping up the peace talk, partly on the
theory that it will have it's effects on
the populations of the warning powers
and partly on the theory that Il certain
amount of lengthy diplomatic seesaw-
ing seems inevitable.

PRO@FESS0RjONES
METHOD APPROVED
University Faculty Member Ex-
plains to Legislators, Who
Are FavorabIy I'M
pressed.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 13.-Appearing be-
fore the house of representatives this
morning to explain his physical re-
search work among South Dakota stu
dent, Prof. w. Franklin Jones did
moi apologize for II of the things
he had done. On the contrary he justi-
fled his operations as entirely separate
and distinct from the work of Dhysi-
clans and the work of ordinary educa-
tors. The appearance of Professor
Jones here was result of a
tically worded resolution to investigate
his sex examinations.
Professor Jones Explains.
Professor Jones, according to his ex-
PLANTATION. does not pose at a school
teacher in any sense. His training and
work has been entirely along the line
of dealing with physical, mental and
moral defects which interfere with the
educational advancement of children
He devotes practically his entire time
to the study of such problems and tC
conducting educational clinics. Most
of the clinical work, he says. deals with
small children, often with babies, but
occasionally extended to older boys and
girls even to adults. In the regular
clinics, Professor Jones states that he
is assisted by physicians and dentists
with matrons in attendance, and that
the instructions are to present to n1
children without the consent of the
parents.
Legislators Favor Work.
Following Professor Jones talk, leg
iSlators were quite unanimous in de.
claring that his duties and activities
had been greatly misrepresented. They
now realize that he is doing a legiti.
mate work in a legitimate science and
hat the problems treated are quite re-
moved from the training of regular
medical practitioners.
Il think | know how to be both de-
cent and daring. in my professional,
work. Professor Jones said, land J
defy anyone to cite one instance in
which any suggestions or charges have
been made to the contrary"
AS the case looks today the investi-
cation resolution will get no further
attention.

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

! Most growing girls need tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for q tonic. Almost every doctor
daughter is given a tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fdgets 30 that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out
of-door exercise and perhaps faces st.
Vitus' Dance, or a nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help tolay a founda-
ton for future health.
The price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
IL fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price by the DR.. Williams
