ASKS OUTLINE
OF WAR aims
Speaker At New York Con-
ference Wants Peace
e.. Terms Stated
(By Associated Press }.

New York. May 31.-1mmediate pub
lie statement of the war aims and
peace terms Of the United States was
demanded by DR.. Judah l. Magnes in
an address yesterday opening the First
American Conference for Democracy
and Terms Of Peace at Madison Square
Garden. DR.. Magnes saiS that those
attending the conference, which includ-
ed among their number Socialists and
pacifists, had mot come as obstruction
lists but to aid in advising our govern
ment and the people of America as to
the necessity and method of bringing
about a speedy, universal and demo-
cratic peace" ...... .
ITO be sure" he said in one portion
of his address, the mere suggestion of
peace is regarded as traitorous in many
quarters The word peace is becoming
the most terrifying in the language.
But We are undaunted in our cry and
in our passion for peace, because we
know how futile all wars are, this one
among them"
The speaker declared that the an
nounced aims Of Russia-no forcible
anneXations, no punitive indemnities
and free development of all nations and
peoples and nationalities-should be

should use its influence" he said, ito
exert it's vast power over England and
France and insist upon the adoption of
the Russian program" -
I'VE urge upon the president and the
congress an immediate public state
ment of our war aims and our peace
terms said Dr. Magnes. Our young
men are about to be drafted into mill
tary service and our soldiers are about
to be sent across the SEAS What, in
concrete terms that every man can un-
derstand, are they to fight for, and
upon what terms will America be
ready to end the war and make
peace?"

OPPOSITION IS
LESS VIOLENT
French May Yet Decide
To Countenance Stock
holm Conference
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, May 31.-The government will
be asked in both the chamber of depu-
ties and the senate this week what the
official attitude is toward the attendance
of French delegates at the internal ton
al Socialist conference in Stockholm
and whether passports will be issued
to such delegates.
The sudden Cancellation of the diff
ferent factions of the French Socialist
party on the question of attending the
Stockholm conference, which recently
was decided in the affirmative, is ex-
planned by well-informed persons as
resulting from the conviction reached
by the majority, which previously was
hostile, that it would be inadvisabIe to
leave the Russian Socialists alone with
the German delegates.
The French Socialists have been told
that it is necessary for the Russian
Socialists to prove to the Russian
army that a sincere effort has been
made toward securing peace hence,
according to this view, Russia must be
represented at Stockholm, where the
German delegates will be given a
chance to declare themselves categori-
cally, after which the army will be
able to perceive whether the program
of the German Socialists is acceptable
and capable of realization.
1t was on the supposition that the
Russians would certainly be represent
ed and on the theory that it would be
far better If they were Joined by the
delegates Of the other entente coun-
tries, 1t is explained. that the more
moderate faction of the French Social
lists Joined the extremists and decided
on representation at Stockholm.
1t is pointed out that the Stockholm
conference is in no sense a peace con-
ference, being no more than a tentative
gathering Of the Socialists of belIig-
erent countries to consider questions
proposed and decide whether a real
peace conference is likely to be fruit
full Consequently no French Socialist
going to Stockholm is committed by
that fact to any peace movement, it
is declared.

GET new KIDNEYS !

The kidneys are the most overwork-
ed organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of altering out
and throwing off the poisons developed
in the system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back;
highly colored urine; loss of appetite:
Indigestion; irritation. or even stone in
the bladder These symptoms indicate
a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal mala6y, Brights dis
ease, for which there is said to be no
cure.
You can almost certainly find imme-
date relief in GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules. For more than 200 years
this famous preparation has been an
unfaillng remedy for all kidney, blad-
der and urinary troubles. Get II at any
drug store, and If it does not give you
almost immediate relief, your money
will be refunded. Be sure you get the
GOLD MEDAL brand. None other gen.

Proper Food for Weak ssomaeh..

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also import
ant that they keep their bowels regu-
lar. When they become constipated or
when they feel dull and stupid after

Tablets to strengthen the stomach and

Copenhagen, via London, May S1.-
According to information received in
Zionist circles from Palestine, the
Turks have twice given orders for the
evacuation of Jerusalem by the Jews,
but the orders each time were sus-
pended owing to representations from
the German government, which feared
for the safety of the shrines and 9TH
er holy places and still more the eff
feet upon the worlds public opinion.
The order of expulsion, however, is
still hanging over the heads of resi-
dents of Jerusalem and the consulates
and public institutions have their be-
longings packed so as to leave should
the Turkish commander, Djemal Pa
sha, enforce II as a general measure.
The expulsion of the Jews from Jaf-
IA, according to the same source OF
information was due to the chicaneries
of the Turkish officials, who, when the
Jews of Galilee sent horses and carts
to aid, their co-religionists in their ex-
odus, requisitioned all the horses and
then provided for their transportation
vermin- infested railroad coaches,
which caused an immediate outbreak
Of typhus among the wanderers.

sentation Of German officials. who
pointed out that the provisioning OF
