DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing,
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. It. is especially
valuable for persistent coughs that
so often follows bad cold or an at
tack OF the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. 'Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the best medicine for berakine
up these attacks and you cannot
get him to take any other" OBJ

TRYING TO DODGE.

Americas determination to help
France by sending an army of 49,
900 engineers to build railroads for
her sounds more practical to us than
the equipping of Roosevelt expedi-
ton or the entrance of remnant of
soldiers to French territory for SEN
timental reasons. Skilled men in
the engineering line is what France
needs, and America has surely got
them. The daring and intrepidity OF
the American engineer is a by-word.
No mountain is too rugged ard no
chasm too deep for the American en-
gineer to span. No undertaking dis

Twill, therefore, be practical. It will
also lack the bloodthirstiness which
la spectacular attack by soldiers
would carry.
If we can win by Yankee ingenu-
|ity" it will be far more satisfactory
than to win by carnage and suffer-
|ing.-Boone News-Republican.
1t would indeed be fine thing for
the mollycoddle contingent of the
United States if we could do our part
in this great war by sending a few
thousand engineers to Europe to do
the country's fighting. Yes, "the
daring and intrepidity of the Amer
lean engineer is a by-word," but it
would be disgrace to the flag if this
government did no more than the
Boone newspaper seems to want. The
sending of these engineers to Europe
is commendable, but we must also
send an army, which the News-Re-
publican may choose to call rem
nant of soldiers Roosevelt's idea
is to raise a force of men not subject
to draft, and there is no man in the
country who could do a better job.
1T is to be regretted that any loyal
newspaper would attempt to make
light of such proposition. The men
who would enlist in the cause are
among the brave ones of the nation
and they should be given an oppor-
|tunity to serve their country in a
way that would have great effect
upon the course of the war. This
volunteer force need not interfere
seriously with other operations, but
it is generally believed that Roose-
welt could raise an army of from
10000 to $4,000 men who would be
ready for active service months be-
fore any other troops, except divi-
sion or two Of regulars. There may
be some sentimental considerations
connected with the plan, but senti-
ment plays part in battles and VIC
tories. Why not avail ourselves of
the Roosevelt dynamo and enthusi-
assn and authorize the colonel to do
|all he can under the supreme COM
mand Of regular army officer, to
assist his country in it's hour of
need?

JAPAN DELAYS CHINA'S''.
DECLARATION Of WAR

Toxic, April 1S.-Letter to Free
man-Tribune from Ralph Turner, U.
P. correspondents. Actual participa-
tion by China with the allies in the
war against Germany is being de-
layed by Japan's attitude toward
three proposals made by China to the
allies.
This statement may be made on
the authority of the constitutional
opposition to the Terauchi ministry
and is based upon admissions by high
Japanese officials.
Chinese diplomats, in pressing the
three proposals, are showing them
selves more astute than in some of
their former diplomatic dealings, in
that they make declaration of war
contingent upon the acceptance of
these proposals.
But the date is not far distant
when the Picking government actu-
ally will join hands with the entente
powers and the United States in an
actual state of warfare against the
Teutons. sll a
Allied diplomats in Picking who
have been urging China to enter the
war would prefer to consider her
three requests apart from the main
issue of joining them r. the con-
flict. 3e ..
II China's three conditions are:
A revision of China's custom reve-
nues, with a general increase.
Postponement of payment of the
Boxer indemnities, and
Cancellation Of the rule which pro-
hibits Chinese soldiers entering for
eign concessions at Tientsin.
China, it is definitely known, made
these proposals when the decision to
break with Germany was reached on
March IA. President Ii Yuan-hung
and his cabinet consider it vital that
these three propositions be settled
favorably before China declares war.
Right here is where Japan enters
with her objections. While the 9th
err entente nations seem ready to
agree to most or all of these prop0-
sitions, Japan considers them such as
seriously to affect her welfare. BUSH
ness interests which oppose an in
crease in China's customs revenues
would violently oppose any act of
the Terauchi government granting
such increases.
Opponents of the government say
the government is likely to grant
,China's demands, but is waiting UNI
til after the elections of April 20 in
