HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

With many people taking cold is a
habit. but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge
every morning when you first get
out of bed-not ice cold, but tenn
perature OF about 80 degrees F.
Also sleep with your windows up.
Do this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
get rid Of It - quiskly as possible.

AMENDMENT
OF. the
CHARTER

ST. TANNfANY BANK & TRUST C(
Middletown transcript., 1917-08-11
JAPAN WARNED
BY PRESIDENT
Must Divert Her New Ships to
War Uses.
NO STEEL UNLESS SHE DOES
Shipping Board Prepares To Com
mandeer All American Tonnage.
Britain To Recall Ships
Loaned To Allies.

Washington.-The imperative need
of ships in the transatlantic service
was disclosed in indications that the
Shipping Board is preparing to COM
mandeer all American tonnage and in
an order issued by President Wilson
which has the effect of cutting off steel
exports to Japan unless Japanese YES
sells are diverted to war uses.
The Shipping Board probably will
announce a communicating program
within a few days. 1t will call for the
requisitioning of ships under authority
recently given to the President by Con-
gress. and probably will include ar
rangements for turning the vessels
back to their owners for actual opera
ton. The Government, it is said, has
no desire to operate the vessels itself,
but through control of charters can di-
rect trade routes and at the same time
can lower ocean freight rates. Coast
wise tonnage and vessels taken off
South American runs to be put to car
rying supplies to Europe probably
would be replaced in large part by neu-
trail ships.
The British and American Govern
ments have about reached an agree
ment for a joint control Of ali the
worlds tonnage and the Shipping
Boards move toward Communicating
is preliminary step in that arrange
ment. Under the plan the United
States would operate most of the neu-
trail tonnage and Great Britain would
have under its control allied ships.
The arrangement would be used also
to bring down freight rates.
Great Britain is about to recall Brit
ish ships that have been put at the dis
posal of her allies. Continued sinkings
are said to have made it necessary
that every British vessel be used in
supplying the British people and
armies
The Presidents instructions, which
will bring Japanese ships into the At
lantic, were issued to the Division of
Export Licenses, and provide that no
steel or iron products shall go to
Allied countries unless they are to be
used for actual war purposes or will
contribute directly to prosecution of
the war. Japan has been large buyer
of American ship plates and has been
building up a great merchant fleet.
About per cent. of her tonnage is in
the Atlantic and the remainder is
carrying Pacific cargoes at extremely
high rates.
The Shipping Board has just put
into operation its control over coast
wise freight rates and will begin with
in short time to hear complaints. 1t
has no power to fix rate schedules, but
on complaint, can order specific rates
cut if they are found discriminatory

POSTAL EMPLOYEES
MUST GO TO FRONT
Few Exemptions Will Be Asked
by Government.
HOPE TOESCAPE DRAFT GONE
Reaches To Rural Sections, and Only
Physical Reasons Or Dependents
Will Save Them-RaiIWay
Mail Clerks.

| Washington-Ar ruling issued by the
Postofflce Department shows that de-
partment officials will make few re-
quests for the exemption of postal en-
ployes from military service. Post
masters are instructed not to ask for
exemptions for carriers or labOrers or
for clerks in second-class Offices below
the $1,000 grade, clerks in first-class
Offices below the $1,100 grade or any
above these grades unless they are
qualified distributors of mail.
The ruling is the first formal action
pliance with President Wilson's order
directing that department officials in
dictate exemptions and that the re-
quirement of indispensability be rigid
ly enforced.
AS generally construed, the postal
ruling shows the purpose of the ad-
ministration to make the government
departments leaders in freeing valu-
able employees for war service.
The entire mail carriers force, num-
considerable percentage are within
the draft age limits, is excluded from
exemption except for ply cal reasons
or because of depende families.
Every portion of the couny is reach
ed by the ruling as even the rural
carriers are included.
The departments ruling in regard
to clerks leaves railway mail clerks
within the exemption classes, as they
are highly specialized distributors.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps to reduce the number of
exemptions because of dependent fam
lilies. Instructions were sent to the
governors of all states pointing out
that the minimum pay of soldiers is
now $50 month and that local boards
must consider whether a mans de-
pendents could not be supported on
that amount. The telegram follows:
please call attention of local boards
to the fact that soldiers pay is not
less than $50 month and that all
clothing, subsistence, medical treat
ment and housing are furnished him.
Under the law he may allot any por-
ton of his pay to a dependent. Many
soldiers receiving $50 a month are
easily able to allot S25 monthly to the
support of dependents. In case of
death in line of duty the government
will pay to the beneficiary designated
by the soldier six months pay.
Section of the Selective Service
Act provides that those in a status
with respect to persons dependent
upon them for support which renders
their exclusion or discharge advisable
may be discharged, but it does not re-
quire that they shall be discharged in
all such cases. The discretion of local
boards is invoked by this provision
and such boards may we'll take the
facts recited above into consideration
in deciding claims for discharge due
to dependency with a view to deter
mining whether, as a matter of fact,
the person claiming such discharge
will not be in as good or better posi- |
ton to support his dependents after |
selection for military service than he
was before. If such is the case, of |
course, the discharge should not be |
granted"

LLOYD GEORGE.
ON PEACE TERMS
Hints at Only Condition For
Ending Hostilities.
VICTORY MUST BE COMPLETE
Victory Must Be Complete, He Says.
"War CHASTITY Business, But
Not AS Bad As Teuton
Peace.

London.-David Lloyd George, the
British Premier, in the presence of a
disting uished gathering representative
of all parties, which met in Queens
Hall to mark the third anniversary OF
the declaration of war, reiterated the
aims for which the Entente Allies
were fighting and indicated the OILY
conditions under which they would
consent to a suspension of hostilities
with the Central Powers.
Victory Must Be Complete.
In the course of his speech Premier
Lloyd George said:
Victory must be SO complete that
our national liberty never again shall
be challenged.
Russia learned that an army with.
out discipline is a rabble.
There are some here who want to
set up committees for the British
army and direct the conduct of the
war. We cannot allow a sectional or
ganization to direct the war or to die
tate the terms of peace. The nation
as a whole made war and the nation
as a whole must make peace"
The British Prime Minister said he
did not trust the German peace talk.
Neither the Kaiser nor the Chan
cellor," he declared, has yet said he
would be satisfied with German soil.
They talk glibly about peace but
stammer over the word restoration.
Before we have peace conference
they must learn to use the word
restoration. So far they have not
learned even the first letter of the
alphabet"
"War is a CHASTITY business, but it is
not so bad as their peace. While they
know their plot has miscarried this
time the Prussian war lords have de-
termined to succeed the next time.
There must be no next time. This
generation must eliminate war from
the tragedies of human life.
