the activities OF the commission. az
those of every department Of the
government into closer relation to
war problems and conditions. Botn
our allies and our enemies are con
sideTing the possibility OF commercial
warfare, commercial neutrality and
commercial alliance. The central
powers are considering the arrange
ment OF an economic union for cen-
trail Europe. Imperial preference has
been actively discussed in England
and In her self-governing colonies.
Far-reaching possibilities are suggest
ed by the results of the Paris econ
onlic conference which met in June,
1916, and which provided for a diff
ferential treatment between allied
countries, neutral countries. and en-
envy countries, In the act creating
the tariff commission, the commits
sion was specifically empowered ito
investigate the Paris economy pact
and similar organizations and ur-
rangements in Europe" The COM
mission is preparing an extensive re-
port on bargaining tariffs, CONNER
cial treaties, and economic alliances.
The United States has never had a
consistent policy with reference to
bargaining taIltISs whereas TIE COuh-
tries of Europe have worked out sew
eral different systems. The tariff
commissions report viii provide the
facts upon which congress may found
a method for using the bargaining
power in American tariffs, and also
upon which American commercial
treaties may be adjusted to meet the
conditions Of the modern world.
In all that ii has undertaken the
commission is working in harmony
with other departments Of the gov
eminent thereby avoiding dupIica-
ton of effort.

has seemed and seems to me that a
large portion of the demand for a
statement OF peace aims by the allies
Is either due to ignorance or Undue
ed by q German campaign to divide
the allies. It seems to me perfectly
clear that the war aims OF the allies
are known and understood by all al
lied publics. This war is exactly like
the war that Europe fought against
Napoleon. IL is a war to prevent the
domination first OF Europe and then
OF the world by q single nation, which
has deliberately and consciously
sought world supremacy. Europe in
arms against Napoleon after many
years OF combat recognized that
there could be no permanent peace
until France was restored, not to the
limits of 1907 or 1911. but to the
limits of 17S9-the year which pre-
ceded the French rush out beyond
the boundaries OF the old monarchy.
It was the just and accurate recog-
milton OF the countries in arms
against France, that while France
controlled Holland. Belgium, Italy
and Spain she had an ,..most mex
haustive reservoir for her armies and
by her size and resources threaten
ed the independence of the world.
The settled purpose Of the allies
against Napoleon in the closing phase
was to restore the boundaries Of
France of 1889, and this was sub
stantially done at the congress of
Vienna Today the allies fighting
Germany are resolved to defeat Ger
many, to abolish the German men,
ace to world independence and there
after to restore Germany to the boun-
daries of the time which preceded the
beginning Of her onrush against
Europe, namely, the boundaries of
1870. It is the purpose of the allies
to take from Germany and her Aus
trian and Bulgarian allies Belgium,
Alsace- Lorraine, Serbia and Ru-
mania, precisely as those who fought
Napoleon took from France Belgium,
Holland. Italy. Spain and various
other conquests. The allies seek to
restore Serbia and Belgium, to give
Serbia that seacoast which she con-
quered for herself in 1912. They seek
in addition to give to Italy the Tren-
tino and Trieste districts. which are
inhabited by Italian-spealIing people.
These things are all essential to the
main purpose of the allies. They are
founded upon Justice and they repre-
sent the bases Of permanent peGce.
Each seeks to redress a wrong which.
unredressed, threatens the safety and
liberty Of the world. In addition,
there is the problem Of Poland, the
solution Of which waits upon Rus

steady improvement, falling from rs

Chamberlain's Tablets are intended

met with much success in the treat

have suffered for years with stom@

obtain any permanent relief, have
been completely cured by the use Of
these tablets. Chamberlain's Tablets
are also OF great value for bilious

through an intense bonbardment for
"A hours, and then attacking, last
evening, over the devastated ground.
The bridges across the User were
destroyed by the heavy fire, and the
sending up of reinforcements was
found impossible. Thus penetration
of 100 yards deep on front of 1,40O
yards, was effected, the Germans
pushing as far as the east bank of the
User, near the North sea. Il. r. ~.

ONCE CAPTURED BY .'
AUSTRIANS HE ESCAPES

Petrograd, July 11.-Russia is ring
ing with the name of the latest hero
of the war, Lieutenant General kor-
niloff, victor of Galicia, whose aston
ishing feat first proved that the new
advance is no mere flash in the pan.
General Kornloff is the most daring,
chivalrous and scholarly officer in the
army.
From log cabin to general is the lit
eral text of the chronicle Of his ca
reer. He was born 46 years ago, the
son of poor cossack in western ST.
IBERIA. When barely 13, by his own
exertion, he qualified to enter the ST.
berian cadet corps. In the artillery
school his amazing mathematical abil-
tiles brought approval from the facul-
ty, even though suspected as being
secret revolutionary worker. In
the Japanese war, Korniloff received
the rank of colonel and was entrust-
ed with desperate missiOn-that Of
covering the retreat from Mukden of
one General Kuropatkin's shattered
army. 1t was executed with such
skill he was given the St. George
cross. In 1915, he repeated the Muk-
den feat. but was wounded and cap.
tured by the Austrians.
The enemy generals were so i'm
pressed with his accomplishments
and noble bearing that the return OF
his sword showed greater honor to
him than to their own victorious COM
mander. His restless spirit did not
long stand captivity. After daring
flight from an Austrian prison camp
and astonishing adventures, he reach
ed Russia.
