STARVATION IN GERMANY
FEARFUL CONDITIONS TOLD BY
MEMBERS OF GERARD PARTY.
Believed That When Harvest Is Ex-
hausted Teutons VIII Be Com
PEELED to Sue for Peace.

Havana, March 13.-Appalling con.
ditions prevailing throughout Ger
many were revealed when James w.
Gerard, the recalled American ambas-
sador at Berlin, and his party arrived
here from Spain
While Mr.. Gerard refused to make
any statement before he sees Presi-
dent Wilson at Washington, several
men and women who left Germany
with him said the people were starv-
ing and had reached that apathetic
stage where they did not care wheth-
er victory or defeat came. What
they want is food.
Miss Kathleen Molony, young
English woman who has been travel
ing for three years in the countries
at war, was one of those who describ-
ed conditions in Germany as "appall-
ing"
Starving Throughout Nation.
"The poor are starving throughout
the nation" said Miss Molony. "Ac-
curate reports of the terrible condi-
lions prevailing in Germany reached
Switzerland just before I left there,
and, of course, / saw a great deal
myself.
I'm the best informed circles in
Switzerland it is believed that Ger
many cannot last another year. When
the coming harvest is exhausted she
will be forced to beg for peace. With
out farm hands and without fertilizer
there is poor chance for the harvest.
Peace This Year.
Il have heard many persons pre-
dict that a peace settlement would
come this year, when the German
people must be made to understand
the failure of their submarine cam
paign.
always the Prussian military rul-
ers are keeping the people in ignor-
ance Of the true facts and conditions.
Every incident Of the war is distort-
ed into German victory.
But, now their stOmachs are pinch
ing them. The Prussians cannot
make them believe they are not hun
CRY, and that hunger is becoming
more intense and wider spread When
it reaches the troops in the trenches,
when the harvest fails, trouble may
be expected.

Buenos Aires, March 10.-Argen.

peace in Europe through unity of Lat.

opposition from Chile. dispatches from
Santiago declared that the newspaper

Chile imediately seek an alliance
with Colombia in retaliation. The
story apparently started much discus

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer's PreScrip~
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a. bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

4EVERYWOMAN," AT JEFFERSON XMAS,
 IS NOTABLE PLAY
Porter Emerson Browne's Great Drama Coming to This City for Four
 Performances

What does "Everywoman" mean? What character of production is this that Henry W. Savage is sending to the Jefferson Christmas matinee and night, and the following day, matinee and night? What is the significance to stu dents of dramatic literature, and what is the appeal to the amusement loving public?
 Briefly told, the story of Every woman" shows that love triumphs over contact with vice and is always it's own salvation E6verywoman who is the epit- ome of all that is fascinating and all turing in essential womanhood is first shown in her home surrounded by her handmaidens, Youth, Beauty and Mod esty. Together they set out on a pill grimage in quest of love. Ignoring the word of Truth, Everywoman listens to the voice of Flattery, and following his advice imagines that Love may be found within the walls of a playhouse of the great city. There, however, she encounters Passion, a masked actor who pours forth honeyed words of amorous ardor into her ears, until she tears off his mask and discovers that Passion is not Love. Forsaken by Modesty within the walls of the playhouse, she loses Youth, he spurns her and consorts with Vice. Then it is that Everywoman, shocked by contact with evil influences
 
 the lips of Truth that Love is waiting for her in her own humble home where she returns chastened by affliction after her fruitless and unhappy search, to find King Love the First seated before the fireside. In his protecting arms she finds solace and at the same time Is rejoined by Modesty and Happiness.
 In selecting the cast of "Everywoman" MT. Savage exercised the greatest care and discrimination. Scores of actors for the principal characters were considered and accepted or rejected before the com pany was finally organized for this sea sens tour. The principals make up a remarkable roster of talent that includes Paula Shay, who plays the part of "Ev- erywoman," Percy Parsons, Marguerite Patterson, Norman Lane, Berta Donn Martha Voigt, Elsa Reed, Townshend Ahern, and many other well known names are included in the cast
 The action of "Everywoman'' furnishes all object lesson in diction and the read ing of blank verse that has seldom been afforded the student and observer of the drama in America,
