STAY NINE MONTHS
in Germany Free to Depart
Under Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Here are the
pertinent articles in the Prussian
treaty of 1928 raised in the Gerard
case:
Articles % of the United States
Prussian treaty of 1893 which is re-
vised by the treaty of 1928, which is
now in force, reads:
IF war should arise between the
two contracting parties the merchants
of each country then residing in the
other shall be allowed to remain nine
months to collect their debts and set
tie their affairs, and may depart free

out molestation or hindrance."
The revised article states further:
And it is declared that neither the
pretense that war dissolves all treat
les nor any other, whatever shall be
ing this and the next preceding arti-
Gle; but, on the contrary, that the
state of war is precisely that for
which they are provided and during
which they are to be sacredly OBJ

ticles in the law of nature and ma
tons"
Article twelve of the treaty of 1885
which was revised by the treaty of

New York, Feb. 9.-Henry FORD

ARE DISCOURAGED
German Troops Moody Over
American Rupture.
Decreasing Morale Illustrated
by Surrender of Fort.

With the British Armies in the
Field, Feb. 9.-The German troops
cup of pessimism is overflowing at the
possibility of the United States enter
ing the war, British officers declare.
There is a noticeable discouragement
TO be seen in the attitude of recently
taken German prisoners. Their gem
eral viewpoint is-"What's the use ?"
These prisoners declare that news
of Americas break with their govern :
ment filtered thru to the front very
slowly without any details beyond the
bare announcement.
British officers declare the German
spirit is steadily waning. The evacua-
ton of Grandecourt without any fight
ing by them is a surprising example Of
this sort of decreasing morale.
British Push Steadily Ahead.
British forces are now astride the
Ancre and are steadily pushing on to-
ward Miramont. Since Tuesday they
have taken 1900 yards of German
held territory with a considerable
number of prisoners and against re-
markedly little opposition.

GOOD ROADS PLEA
Kansas Association Presents Argu-
ments Favoring Bill.

The Kansas Good Roads associa-
ton is fighting for senate bill f446
which is the same as house bill col.
J. Frank Smith. president of the as
ISOLATION is in Topeka today with ten
reasons why this bill should be enact
ed into law to the exclusion of all
others.
THE objections to this BILL" he
said, ARE from persons who have not
read it or who have personal, selfish
or financial interest in its defeatr
One of the chief reasons why
the bill should pass. according
to President Smith, is because it pro-
vides the way for Kansas to receive
S2,231 900 of federal road funds.
without this bill or a similar one"
said Mr.. Smith, this large sum will
be lost to Kansas. To throw this
much money away would be unwise.''
Here is another of the reasons
given by the association for the pass
age of the bill:
Section 6, of this bill gives the
state highway commission general
supervision of the road and bridge
laws of the state and permits it to
make standard plans and specifica-
tions and require the county road sys-
TENS to connect at county lines. 1t
does not transgress any rights that
should be retained by local author
tiles. If given less power its eff
cheney would be crippled. The crying
need of the hour is not more money
to be expended on the roads but
greater return for the money spent.
Give the commission the power pro-
vided in this section and the state can
grapple with the road problem and
with persistent and measured skill

ternal Medicines Say Kansas City
and Lawrence Mothers.

Every mother knows how hard it is
to get children to take medicines, and
how injurious this internal dosing is
to their delicate little stomachs. The
solution of this problem is the South
ern treatment - Vick's Vap-O-Rub
Salve. 1t is universally used in the
South, in place of internal medicines,
plasters, poultices and vapor lamps in
treating all forms of cold troubles,
from head colds, asthmatic or Ca
tarrhal troubles, down to deep chest
colds, sore throat. bronchitis or incipi-
emit pneumonia. Kansas mothers were
quick to try this outside" treatment,
when it was introduced there last
winter, and have found it quicker and
better than internal medicines.
Mrs. Ida Thomas, 92l S. Forest.

tempt by British forces
Almost all prisoners admit the Ger
man spirit is much lower than for
merly, officers declare. The British
system of continuous raids, the policy
of sudden attacks at unexpected times
and places-each one different in
style and execution-and the contin-
ual hammering away of British artiI-
lery have all told heavily on the Ger
mans. Then came the prospect of
America entering with the allies.
German wireless dispatches recent
ly claimed the re-taking of the Pu-

tured by moonlight last Saturday.
This position is on a slope dominat-

The evacuation of Grandecourt is
an answer to these wireless claims.
