CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quick med icine It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers. acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two i1. gradients is what produces such won- derful results in curing catarrh.

PRESCOTT
LETTER FROM 4 SOLDIER
 BOY TO HIS MOTHER
Camp Albert l.. Mills,

Dear Mother,
 1 received your letters from home today, and was glad in- deed to get them. Well we are at Garden City at last. and be- lieve me it is some place. It is just twenty miles from New York (center), and we are al- lowed to go there every night if we wish to do so, but we are so well drilled during the day that we feel like resting at night. My, but there are some soldiers here, about fifty-eight thousand. We have airships over us and sub marines and battleships in the port three miles from here, so you see there is going to be bus mess soon. And 1 hope it will not be long so we can do what we are going to do and return, and it looks like 1t won't take us long.
 We had fine trip over here. It was rather long, but except ing that, it was swell. All along the road the whistles blew and we received our farewell good bys We had Pullman cars and porter service and our meals were fine enough for any king. We were on the train 47 hours, passed through the finest coun- try. We'll that is enough for the trip.
 Now do not be uneasy if you fail to hear from me for three weeks at once, for when we leave for France it will take about seven days over and then seven days for the letter to come back.and then a few days to reach you by land, so you see it will take at least that long. Now please don't worry about me for I will either meet my fate or else return all right. 1 do not fear going at all. for if it is my time to die will die without the least doubt or worry on my part. 1 received the papers you sent to Fort Sheridan. You asked about my things, 1 left them in Chicago with Mrs. Bessie Murphy with the understanding that if they did rot hear from me in a certain length of time, to send them to you. l have them already ad- dressed. but let that be as it is for I will be back to wear them soon.
 went out to the Naval Train ing Station and tried to see Jeff and the other Prescott boys last Saturday, but could not on ac- count of them being there such a short time. Tell Mir. Cantley Hello! and that l am waiting to hear from all my saw mill friends. Hoping this finds every one we'll and happy, and by all means don't worry for there is nothing to worry about. Tell Minnie that I will write her later, would tonight but there is no use writing two when one will do.
 Lovingly, your son.

New York Prosperous.

Not within the writer's memory have
New York hotels been SO crowded,
Broadway so packed with motors, the
theaters so full of people, tickets so
hard to get, prices so high. old gener-
al prosperity so complacently stalking
down the glittering alley. 1t is safe TO
say that the season of 1861, In New
York, was the most prosperous ever
known to the theater manager, writes
Walter Prichard Eaton in the Arneri-
can Magazine.
One day in January at IL o'clock In
the morning l saw seven motors stand

$1,000. The most expensive cost at
least $4,000, two others cost at least
$1,000, and the other three. $4,000.
There was ut least $4,000 worth OF
brand-new machinery, employing prob
ably dozen men and burning up pre-
clous gasoline. for the sole purpose OF

KAISER PEACE PLAN
MENACE TO WORLD
PREMATURE TRUCE WOULD GIVE
GERMANY RESTING PERIOD
FOR ANOTHER WAR.
Germans Expect TO Control the Oar
dsnelles, Cut Europe in Half and
Form the Backbone of a Prus-
sian World Empire.

Washington. -Germany's next peace
gram OF territorial remuneration on the
east and the west, Is regarded here ms
largely answered beforehand by infor.
nation revealing for the first time the
fun scope of the imperial governments
aspirations for conquest In the south.
This Information disclOses as one
OF the primary aims of the war u plan
for consolidation of an impregnable
military and economic unit stretching
from the North sea TO the Mediterran-
can, cutting Europe permanently In
half, controlling the Dardanelles, the
Aegean and the Baltic and eventually
forming the backbone Of a Prussian
world empire.
In the light of German history, the
plan shows how implicitly the kaiser
has followed out the blood and iron
polltico-econOmic methods of Bismarck
for development Of Prussian power.
Considered in view of the present war
map. II shows that the major portion
of the kaiser's war program has been
accomplished, regardless of what dis
position Is made of conquered territory
In France, Belgium and Russia.
A full realization of this situation,
which viii form sinister background
for consideration of whatever renun-
citation proposals the imperial chancel-
lor may make, adds new force TO the
ranaafad daatoro films ~ allied SfafpS-
men that the German peace maneuvers
are In reality war moves and that
premature truce only would give Ger
many a resting period In which to fur
Their Prussianize and prepare for a
greater world war the territory to the
southeast which she has conquered I'M
der the guse of friendly alliance.
Although officials have refrained
from definite public expressions of
what the United States might demand
as a peace guarantee. these possibili-
ties recall with recurring emphasis
President Wilson's declaration that
America must fight until the world
is made safe for democracy"
They bring into relief Foreign Minis
ter Balfour's warning that hard fight
ing still must win the war, the con-
viction of the American army general
staff that the country must prepare for
mt least three years OF war, and the
fact that predictions of an early peace
have been discredited as visionary in
virtually every allied capital.

GERMAN ARMIES
SLOWLY YIELDING
VIOLENT ARTILLERY ACTION BE-
ING WAGED BY ALLIES, TEU-
TONIC LINES WATERING.
Allied Commanders Abandon Policy Of
Sudden Thrusts and Rely Upon
Constant Hammering over WIDE
Front TO Break Ring.

LOndon.-The German armies II
France are slowly yielding under the
terrific pounding to which they are
subjected day and night In the be
lief that soon the iron German ring
must break or crack, the allied com
handlers apparently have abandoned
the policy of sudden thrusts and are
relying on a constant hammering over
a wide front.
Monday nights actions on the
French front confirmed French posses
sion of the commanding high ground
won in the previous night near Moron
villieres in the Champagne. The Ger
mans thoroughly bombarded these new
French positions and then delivered
several infantry attacks, but were I'M
able to shake the French hold and suf-
fered considerable losses. The French
have enumerated more than 1000 I'M
wounded prisoners taken in the fight
ing of the past few hours in this re-
gion.
A noticeable diminution in the in
tensity of the fighting along the Isonzo
front of the Austro-Italian theatre has
set in. Only one attack by the Italians
is reported. Here, according to Wen
ma, the Italians attempted to advance,
but were stopped by the Austrians.
On the Trento front, far to the west,
the Austrians are keeping up their
heavy bombardments and infantry at
tacks, which the military authorities in
Rome consider attempts to divert the
of the Italians from their
offensive along the Isonzo. According
TO Rome all attacks in this region have
been repulsed.
In none of the other theatres has
any engagement of special Importance
taken place.

What One Little Girl Did.

Traffic delays make everybody fret
and impatient. Recently, however, a
little girl caused traffic of all kinds on
upper Broadway in New York TO stop
stock still for five minutes. and while
the holdup was on. the child had the
novel experience of being smiled at by
persons who had never smiled at a
track-block before. The little girl,
with loaf of bread and two baskets
of strawberries in her arms, essayed
to cross Broadway at its busiest cor
ner. A long string of automobiles was
waiting north and south, and both cars
and autos were about to start. east and
west. The little girl was in the exact
center of the crossing, when both bas-
kets of Strawberries tumbled from her
arm. She screamed, dropped the bread
and held up her hands also, and for
five minutes the little girl scurried
about picking up the berries. And for
once IN the hurried course of New
York traffic no one seemed In any
hurry

WANTED
TRICKS OF THE SH0PLIFTER
This New York Man Used Fishhook
and Line to Pull Desired Article
Up Into His Sleeve.

A man walked into a big New York
department store and asked to be
shown some silk pettlcoats, says the
Pathfinder. The average person would
have seen nothing unusual in the way
he leaned over the counter and fin
gered the silks, but to the store detec-
tive, trained to keep a sharp eye out
for crooks and llght-fingered customers,
his actions appeared suspicious.
Moving casually in his direction, she
heard him say: "These things are no
good. You see it's my wife's birthday
tomorrow and want TO get her some
lhing nice. Please see if you haven't
something better" The clerk turned
to take down more petticoats from the
shelves, and while she was thus en-
gagged the detective saw silk skirt
rise from the counter and crawl, al
most like live thing, up the volumin-
Gus sleeve of the mans coat.
She had him taken to the Office
There four silk skirts and several
dainty, expensive pieces of merchan-
disc were taken from his sleeves, His
method of operating was readily dis
covered; a string with big fishhook
attached to it's end ran up his sleeve
While he fingered over the goods, pre-
tending to examine them, he would
deftly thrust the hook into whatever
pleased his fancy. Then he would
maneuver to take the clerks attention
away from the counter and by pulling
on the string draw the garment up into
his big sleeve.
