There is more catarrh IN this Sec

diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure by
local treatment, pronounced it in

greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

Sentiment For Peace
Groy;ng Among
German kop4lace

London, Jan. 14.-Reading between
the lines. in the German newspapers it
becomes apparent that the conferences
Of military and political leaders now
taking place in Berlin are regarded as
an effort to obtain some sort Of an
agreement among German parties as to
war aims. At present all signs point
to the triumph Of the war element. The
Munich Post says:
"a death struggle is now proceed
ing between the reichstag peace ma
jority and the military annexationist
party. We do not yet know which side
the government will support and Egyp-
tian darkness enshrouds the nations
peace aim"
The minister Of Baden, DR.. Won Bod
man, said in the lower house on satur-
day:
The reichstag resolution is no long
er valid because it was based on the
suggestion that the desire for peace
would be shared by our opponents.
That is disproved by the speeches OF
Lloyd George and President Wilson"
The Tageblatt of Berlin reports that
violent scenes were enacted at the sit
when a Polish deputy warned the gov
ernment against yielding to the mill
tarists. adding:
THE present Prussian regime is
deeply hated by the Poles because it
has been the most repulsive type OF
rule that any people have ever had
to bear. I warn you the people will
at length come to their senses and this
war will prove the graveyard of Ger
man militarism.'
Herr Severing, in a speech, said:
"A majority Of the German people
would not shed single tear over the
resignation Of Hindenburg, Ludendorf
or any general who opposes peace by
understanding. The German people
will pay most homage to the man >'ho
does most for the cause Of peace.

WornaIl May Recover
Wornall's condition continued to i'm
prove rapidly, and physicians believe
he will recover He has number Of
deep cuts about the head and face in
hicted apparently by the broad side OF
the AK. He is In the base hospital at
Fort Riley, to which place he was
taken soon after he was found by a
sentry wandering about the canton
ment in dazed condition.
Officials of the army bank, 1t was
said, completed checking up the money
in the bank and made their report to
the divisional commanders office. The
exact amount Of money obtained in the
robbery was not disclosed, however.
Needed the Money.
Some army officers declared that
only a small sum was taken. Their
opinion was that Captain Whistler was
short of funds and planned to take
only enough for his immediate needs
Their theory was borne out by Woc-
nails statement that when the man en-
tered the bank he said he was short
Of money and hated to do it." Another
fact tending to confirm their theory
is that the body, Of Mr.. Winters was
found lying on top Of large number
of bank notes, which had been scat
tered promiscuously over the floor IN
front Of the safe.

The work was done systematically,
showing that preparations had been
made before hand.
The population fled in terror. Some
crossed into Roumania, while others
scattered into the surrounding country.
where they are destitute. The perpet-
rators Of the outrage came to Odessa
and were allowed to take trains for the
north without being molested.
Heavy Fighting in interior.
The latest news received in Petro-
grad, according, to a Reuters dispatch,
indicates further heavy lighting in the
interior of the country.
Twelve capitalists resident of Karh-
kov will donate 100000 rubles for the
unemployed. The sum was disbursed
BY the municipality. A dispatch from
Rostov says thai Dabaltzovo station

hands three times in the fighting be-
tween the Cossacks and the bolsheviki.

Guiding some $4,000 school boys. today
resumed the attack on the great snow
drifts which for forty eight hours tied
up railroad traffic In this city and
caused what health authorities termed
an alarming shortage of fuel and milk.
Everyone Of the twenty seven rail-
roads entering Chicago resumed serv-
ice today but it was said 1t would be
at least two days before anything like
normal passenger traffic could be es-
tablished.
Fuel and Milk First.
AS soon as each railway line was
opened efforts were directed to bring
ing out the city fuel and milk trains
and it was announced no attempts
would be made to run passenger trains
on any regular schedule until fuel and
milk needs have been met.
Coalf in the yards was confscated
and orders given to the railroads TO
divert coal on their tracks to the most
ttNdlldDle ydEu OT LedII tTdCh.
Every available motor truck and SINH
lar vehicle has been called into service
by the fuel administration for coal dis
tribution. At the rate the roads had
begun the movement of coal trains it
was thought the coal situation would
soon be relieved.
Only a few sections Of the. city were
supplied with. milk this morning,
Over Two Feet Of Snow.
The Snowfall on the level here for
the two storms of the week was off,
cially announced as 24.7 inches. THIS
in itself would have given no more
than temporary inconvenience, but the
high winds brought troubles.
The huge packing plants OF Armour
& Co. and Swift & Co. were shut down
today because Of inability to obtain
coal. The employees were armed with
shovels and set to work clearing snow
from the tracks entering the yards.
Hundreds of cattle and hogs are re-
ported to have pershed on stock cars
because the roads were unable to move
them.
Later several other packing firms
shut down making the tie-up OF the
stock yards almost complete. A force
Of several thousand men was set to
work clearing the railroad tracks. 1t
was said that all plants would resume
full operation tomorrow.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE Illinois
Central railway and twenty -eight other

Illinois 2-cent passenger fare law set
aside.
I'VE hold that the commissioners
order can not be given precedence over
state rate established by law" the
court held. except where it is clear
and is made to remove disparity be-
tween a state and Interstate"
The Illinois 2-cent passenger rate
law case grew out OF an attempt by
railroads to apply to commerce wholly
within that state a rate of "a mile
fixed by the interstate commerce COM
mission for commerce between inter-
Tor Illinois points and st. Louis. Ma.
and keokuk, Iowa. The Illinois Pub
lie Utilities Commission refused to
recognize the rate and ordered 1t sus
pended. threatening with prosecution
any railroad that attempted to enforce
1t.
The 2-cent rate law went into effect
July /, 1907, when fares from Illinois
points to St. Louis. which had been on
a three cent basis, were reduced to .
cents a mile plus bridge tolls. This
rate remained in effect until Dec. l,
1914. when Illinois carriers advanced
their passenger rates between st. Louis
and Ilinois points to 2h cents mile
but left the rates between points in
side the state unchanged. The year
following. the interstate commerce
commission in the western passenger
fares case found that a rate of "a
cents a mile for interstate fares on
certain Illinois railroads was fair and
that q similar rate was justified in
Illinois, Wisconsin and other states in
that section OF the country.

On June IA, 1915. the Business Mems

the Interstate commerce commission
that the rates than in effect between
Illinois towns and st. Louis were dis
criminatory. The Keokuk Industrial
Association OF Keokuk, Iowa, !nterven-
ed, declaring that any change made in
the rates, affecting st. Louis also be
made regarding that city. In a report
made the following month, the COM
mission found that the rates then
charged between the two Missouri and
Iowa cities and Illinois were fair and
reasonable but found that the malnten-
ance of lower passenger rates from
Chicago to Illinois points resulted in
undue preference and advantages in

American Ambassador Tells Them Sep.

Petrograd. jan. 14.-David R. Fran
els, the American ambassador, in greet
ing the Russian people on the occasion
Of the Russian New Year, which is to-
day (Jan, 14) has issued a statement
in which he says:
The best greeting I can give to the
Russian people from the American peo-
pie is President Wilson's message TO
congress, which has been given in full
to the Russian press"
The ambassador says that the mes
sage expresses clearly the friendship
OF America for Russia, adding:
% "The Russian people, however, can
not be too often reminded by the fact
that their hald earned freedom is jeo-
pardized ty negotiations for a separate
peace nor that If Germany dominates
Russia the fruats OF the revolution will
We sacrificed"
He calls attention to President Will
sous message in January, 1917, saying
that the peace outlined is the same
kind Of peece Russia championed in
March, the same peace that the, bol-
sheviki and soldiers Of Russia feel Is
now jcopardized by German trickery.
