HOPE UNITED STATES
WILL NOT ENTER WAR

Washington, Feb. 7.-Entente diplo.
mats here frankly express their hope
that the United States will not actual.
ly enter the war.
Several of the allied representa-.
tives let it be known that they enter.
tanned growing fear that Germany
deliberately precipitated a break with
this country to hold American NUM-
lions and supplies here, thus cutting
off imports to the entente probably
mere effectively than any single step
that the central powers could take
Immensely gratified over the moral
condemnation the break implied the
diplomats have been surprised at the
energy which the American govern
ment has shown in laying out it's plans
for eventualities and do not conceal
their fear that military precaution
may force the United States to keep
at home at least "a considerable part
of supplies now going abroad.
Such an outcome, they say, would
more than compensate for a mere
break in relations from the German
viewpoint.

heavy enough task when the kidneys
are well, but cold, chill, fever or
some thoughtless exposure is likely to
irritate, inflame and longest the kid
neys and interrupt the purifying work
Then the aching frequently begins
and it is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine frequent
passages, sediment or retention

merit of Doan's Kidney Pills, a remedy
for the kidneys only, that has been
used in kidney troubles SO years. You

BOYS AND OLD MEN

n T is boys and old that Germany must count on
hereafter for whatever added resistance she make
II to the everstrengthening offensive of her foes.
The flower of the army, aggregatng $4,000 men,
was called to the colors in 1914. About 100000
have been called since Of these according to the Ger
man governments casualty lists 115SO0O had been
killed by the end of last July 1892 900 wounded and no.
600 reported missing That made 4791 900 altogether
BY this time the admitted casualties must amount to s.,
100000 or more.
Making allowance for the wounded returned to fight
and for about 100000 of the classes of 1919 and 1920 held
in readiness experts estimate the total man of Ger
many today at about 100000, of whom 100000
available for service at the front.
The figures, if clothed in flesh and blood, would tell
tragic story. They indicate the mournful process by
which, month after month"; during than three years.
the strongest of Germany have been killed off dis
abed and of inferior physique called to take their
places.
