CUBAN REBELLION LESS DIS
TURBINE

Washington, February l5-Failure
to receive from Cuba today reports
showing marked growth in the Lib
eral rebellion caused administration
officials to regard the situation there
with less appreciation. Minister Con-
zales' reports confirm earlier unofficial
dispatches telling of the dispersal of
various rebel bands. They also told,
however, of the occupation of Santi-
ago by General Fernandez, command
ing more than regiment of regular
troops who joined him in revolt.
Satisfaction was displayed at the
State Department over information
that so far the rebels have destroyed
no property.
Both factions have expressed to the
department their approval of the note
of warning sent by Secretary Lansing,
The Liberal leaders have protested
that they are not contemplating any
reign of terror and President Menocal
in o formal communication sent by his
secretary of foreign affairs thanked
the American Government for the con-
fidcnce it has shown in the Cuban
people,
1t become evident today that the
United States will make no move in
Cuban affairs until they are more
sharply defined by developments.

There is more Catarrh In this sec
ton OF the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years doctors pronounced It to be
tncurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced It local disease

constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

TO AlLING WOMEN
4 Little Sound Advice will Help
Many Sufferer in Maysville

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off when
the kidneys are well, are retained in
the body when the kidneys are disor-
dered. If the kidneys and bladder be-
come inflamed and swollen worse
troubles may quickly follow. This is
often the cause of bearing-down pains,
lameness. backache, etc. Uric pois-
oning is also frequent cause of head
aches, dizzy spells, languor, nervous
ness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let Maysvlle woman tell of her
experience.
Mrs. ]. c. Hays, 493 w. Second St.,

kidney trouble. My back first became
lame and ached dreadfully. Pains shot

have used Doan's Kidney Pills for a
similar attack since and they have
proven satisfactory"
Mrs. Hays is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doans Kidney Pills. If
your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for

that Mrs. Hays had-the remedy back

Washington, Sept. 10. Representa-

Rome, Sept. l3.-Germany and Aus

oussion with America in their reply {
Pope Benedict's peace note.
Vatican informants yesterday said
there was reason to believe the German
government was specializing on how for
the allies would be guided by President
Wilson, the spokesman of nation which
was not party to the London compact
pledging no separate peace.
Combined with this came reports yes
terday that there was considerable sgi.
tation in Austria for a separate diplo-
matte discussion with President Wilson,
through some neutral agency.
The Vatican was assured yesterday
that the central powers reply would be
despatched very soon. II was known
that this reply, although nominally adj
dressed to the pope, viii be in fact di-
rectly aimed at President Wilson ard
the American people.
Premier Pasitch of Serbia declared
that his nation would make no formal
protest over Pope Beneidct's omission
to specify necessity for consideration of
Serbia's rights. Private representations,
however, will be made to the Vatican in
this regard, he said.

he has not been hitting so hard as during

LAST CHANCE TO CAN PEACHES
Housewives are Urged to Make Prepare
ti0ns at Once.

| Next week the peach growers of New
York state and New England especial
Nv Connecticut will be sending TO cit.
les throughout New York and New Eng
land, and as far south as Washington
and as far west as Chicago, one of the
largest crops of this fruit that they
have ever harvested. from eight to nine
thousand cars, and for three weeks from
Sept 20 to Oct. 10, New York state
peaches will be abundant throughout
that territory.
battalion of housewives Is waiting
in every city and town, organized under
the banner of the food administration,
ready to do their ,iuty to family and
country by canning and preserving this
crop. In the past there has been so little
co operation between fruit growers and
housewife that very often bumper crop
came into the market unnoticed, and
hundreds of cars spoiled for lack of pur
chasers.
But this year the food administration
is warning the housewives in advance
that peaches are coming. These are the
last peaches of the season and the house
wife who has empty jars or glasses will
do well to fill them with canned peaches,
peach preserves, peach butter, picked
peaches and other good things which
next winter will reduce the cost of living
and conserve food for our army and al
lies b ysaving meat and butter The size
of the crop is such that housewives may
get ample supplies at reasonable prices,
and to make certain that the public viii
have the fun benefit of this last ship
ment of peaches the women's organiza-
tions throughout New York state and
New England are cooperating with the
growers and produce men to see that the
supply keeps up with the demand in ev-

II is usggested that housewives make
their preparations this week, find ont
what quantity Of peaches they can put
up, and then place an order in advance
with their grocers. or at least tell the
grocer to order from the wholesaler and
the wholesaler in turn TO order from the
growers. Thus every community viii
get an adequate supply and there will
be no waste. In past years when grow
ers have lacked this cooperation with
organizations, the tendency has
been to ship too aany peaches TO the

REJECT BILL
GIVING CHOICE
OF SERVICE
Senator Hardwick Asked That Soldiers
Be Not Sent Abroad Against
Their Wishes.

Washington, Sept. l3-Critics of the
selective draft are placing this country
in situation of extreme peril, the
Senate military committee warned yes
terday. Reporting unanimous recon-
mendation for rejection of the Hardwick
bill-preventing dispatch of drafted men
to France without their consent--the
committee scored the measure, declaring
il would disorganize Americas army
leave the nation powerless and make IL
the laughing stock of the world,
"The situation arising out OF the spirit
of opposition to the selective draft is Sc
rious.n said the committee, "and, taken
in connection with the unrest among the
civilian population growing out OF com
mercial and industrial conditions, stlpu-
lated in some cases doubtless by pro
German sympathizers and propagandists,
places our country in situation OF ex-
IRENE peril at time when all should be
united in a common cause"
Draft law opponents are preparing a
sharp reply TO the report. Hardwick,
who several times has been criticised for
his anti-draft speeches, plans fight for
his bin on the floor with the support of
three or four others.
According to Hsrdwick's bill, all man
would have to do to escape service abroad
would be to enlist in the National Guard.
Hardwick contends this branch cannot be
sent out of the country no matter how
great the emergency.
