Spain VIII Be First Nation
to Follow Americas Lead
By Lowell Msllett.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
London, Feb. 6.-Spain will appar.
emily be the first of the neutral nations
to join America in severing relations
with Germany.
Madrid's answer to Berlin will be
forwarded today. Premier Romanones
and his cabinet worked until a late hour
last night drafting note. The exact
contents are not known-but authorita-
tive dispatches from Madrid today de-
clared it would be either firm protest
against Germany IS unlimited submar1n-
ings, or else a definite notice that SPAN
is about to take America S course in the
matter.
Except for few known pro-German
newspapers and those representing the
clerical party, the whole Spanish press
is a unit in approval of firm course
by Spain, at whatever cost. Enthusias-
tic approval is voiced Of the course TAX
en- by the United States.
Humanity should be grateful to the
United States" declared FL Pals in an
editorial typical of the general attitude
of the press.
American Ambassador Willard at
Madras has been in the closest touch
with Premier Romanones during the
last few days Madrid dispatches today
did not indicate whether Spain has yet
prepared formally to answer Iresloent
Wilson's invitation to all neutrals to
join with America. Presumably such
action awaits Germany's receipt of the
note which Spain will send today.

A WoMAN'S VOCATION

One of our modern writer's has said,
"A woman is as efficient in business
as man-when she is''
The reason why sometimes she is not
so efficient is that her health may
fail. But the wise business woman
knows now what to do when attacked
by the ailments peculiar to the So
called "weaker sex. That greatest
of all remedies for woman s ills, Lydia
E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound, has
been freeing women from such all
ments for forty years. Try it, if you
suffer from such an ailment, and in
sure competency and efficiency in the
business world.

No greater evidence of the solid character and good
faith OF the Painless Parker dental organization
can be found than in the strength of the guar
antee given every one of its patients The hop
sklp-and-a-jump mountaineering carpet-bagger
couldn't offer any such assurance to his customers
and be justified in making that kind Of sweeping
promise.
There are twelve Painless Parker dental offices in
the United States, two in Oregon, one in Wash
1ngton, eight IN California, and one in Brooklyn,
~ Y. Any individual who has had dental work
done in any one Of these offices is entitled to fol
low-up work on the operation, free of charge, in
any OF the twelve offices he may care to visit In
other words if any hidden fault in our dentistry
comes to light, every one Of our offices are eager
to remedy the defect without cost to the patient
On top OF that we urge our patients to call at least
once every six months and have the dental work
given thorough examination so that the lob
may pc always kept up in first class shape.
Think what this means to you! Your tooth work
furnished you at the lowest possible figure, esti-
mated on the basis of A-No. dentistry. Your
work done by specialists, all of whom are, or
course, regularly licensed. And, after that, your
teeth watched regularly examination and consul

work in good condition
What value is there IN the guarantee of an individual

pledge that his tooth-carpentry will be protect

And then where are you? They make big hull

But it helps lot when you move from your town

German Crisis Acute

S week Matthias ErzberGer. one Of the
- ablest members of the Roman Catholic
Centrist party In the Reichstag. arose from
his seat and made a speech that is said to
have lifted the lid from the war. so far as
Germany is concerned. Just what he said
the censor has not permitted the world to
know, but he told the Reichstag that the
U-boat war was a dead failure, in that Eng
land was no nearer starvation than she was
four months ago. He told his fellow
legislators with startling revelation that the
German army on the west was not only grad
ualy losing ground, but morale, and that
German had lost the one opportunity of
ending the war with victory with a separate
peace with Russia by Offering that country
a one-sided peace.
The speaker Is said to have painted a
dark picture of the future of Germany if
the war should be protracted, and his
analysis OF the whole situation is reported
TO nave been the most acute and penetrating
ever delivered in the Reickstag. Matthias
Erzberger is no Socialist; he is no Phillip
Scheidemann. He belongs to a party that
has devotedly stood by the government
throughout the war, a party that has not
opposed Pan-Germanism with its program of
annexing all foreign territory now in the
hands of Germany and building up a Mitte]
Europa.
The speaker closed by calling upon the
~ - N"o 1CLI IL DGODlG n
the enemy nations what It's peace offer is,
II 1t has any. He bluntly told the govern
ment II 1t had no peace proposal that it
should hasten to formulate one that would
satisfy the German people and endeavor to
meet their enemies halfway. And he is
said to have crowned his efforts with the
warning that the people not only expected,
but demanded. electoral reforms at once.
This very remarkable speech, coming from
the source 1t did, was SO astonishing that II
penetrated the laequered doors of Potsdam,
and the Kaiser fastened to send for linden
burg and Ludendorff and the Chancellor.
Bethmann-Hollweg, and from the latter the
world is to-day promised a speech. This
speech will probably reveal whether or not
the hand OF the government has been forced.
and it may determine the life Of Bethmann-
Hollweg as Chancellor.
The indications multiply that the German
government cannot much longer conceal its
Intentions from the German people In this
war as to anneIations and indemnitfes. The
worm seems at last to have begun to turn.
Even the old Roman Catholic Centrist party
mas become FESTIVE. and the high lights of the
'unkers themselves want to see what, II
anything. the government has in it's hand.
When Junkers, Centrists, Liberals and So
cialists all do see, there may be an e1plo-
sion. The whole outside world will shout
to Heaven II Berlin will only follow
Petrograd.

London Is Furious

1T was a foregone conclusion, in the light
/ OF the large casualties resulting from the
German air raid upon London on June 13,
that the next raid would be followed by an
outburst of indignation on the part of the
British populace against the government de-
lenses. unless greater punishment was in
ficted upon the raiding squadrons than in
the past.
This did not occur, although the reckless
and deliberate manner in which the raid was
carried out afforded a splendid opportunity
to make effective use of defenses not hope
lessly impotent TO resist so deadly a terror.
While the loss Of life was less than In the
former raid, the fire Of the protecting artil-
lery and the pursuit of the enemy squadron
was shockingly ineffective, only one airplane
being reported as destroyed.
Hence, all London is furious at the in
adequacy Of the city's defense. The out
burst will. no doubt, have the effect Of spur
ring the government TO more strenuous eff
forts towards. adding to the airplane service.
