u. S. ASKS AUSTRIA
U-BOAT INTENTIONS
Seeks to Know Whether AnCOna
Pledge Holds Good.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The United
States has asked Austria to renew her
promises not to employ U-bOats ille-
gally. If Austria refuses the only thing
for the United States to do, officials
indicate, will be to break off diplo-
matte relations.
The representations to Austria were
made by Ambassador Frederik G. Pen
field at Vienna, in an aide memoire.
His memorandum was delivered in &C
cordance with instructions from the
state department. It's object is to have
Austria define clearly whether she
considers the assurances given the
United States in the Ancona case are
withdrawn by the new campaign in
which she has expressed endorsement
of Germany's DEGREES.
The pledges given the United
States in the Ancona case were in sub
stance to observe the rules of cruiser
warfare in submarine operations
These rules require the placing of pas
sengers and crews of merchant YES
sells in safety before the vessels are
destroyed.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because tits For One Thing Only,
and Edgerton People Appreciate 1t.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing
only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. George Hammes, 1908 Ravine
ST., GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: Il began
to notice that my kidneys were getting
in bad shape. The first symptoms were
severe backaches and pains across my
hips. Then had headaches and dizzy
spells, and I was nervous and felt mis-
cradle. / knew that my kidneys were
causing this trouble, so used Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t took only few boxes
to cure me. Doan's Kidney Pills put
my kidneys in fine shape and the dizzy
and nervous spells left me, together
with the pains in my back and head. :"
