Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid Of a cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy This prepa-
ration has been in use for many
years and its value fully proven. No
ever, care must be taken not to
contract a second cold before you
have recovered from the first one,
and there is serious danger Of this.
A man of middle age or older should
go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay
in bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.

ion; UItimatum Ignored,

Pueblo, Colo. Feb. Delegates
representing the coal miners in Dis
trict No. Is, United Mine Workers of
America, in convention in Pueblo to-
day, withdraw from the national or
ganization and passed resolutions fa-
voring the organization of new
union Of coal miners in this district
to be known as the Independent Union
.of Mine Workers of America.
The action was taken this afternoon
several hours after the reply to an
ultimatum sent yesterday to President
Hays of the national organization,
was due to arrive. In yesterday S
ultimatum the miners demanded that
President Hays withdraw from this
district, temporary President James
+. Moran and Secretary Warren Pip
pin, and that the ballots cast at the
recent district election be turned over
to the delegates for an impartial re-
count They charged that John r,
Lawson and Ed Boyle were counted
OUT purposely by the national COM
mittee sent to canvass the vote. Law
son was a candidate for president of
the district and Doyle for interna-
tional board member. A favorable
reply to the ultimatum was demanded
by 10 o'clock this morning. Na mes
sage of any kind was received from
President Hays today so the delegates
voted to withdraw from the organiza-
ton.
Among the resolutions passed were
the following:
"Resolved that the executive board
herein created is hereby instructed to
reimburse John Il. Lawson and Ed
Doyle for expenses incurred by them
in carrying on ths' fight to free the
unions Of Colorado from the corrup-
ton and deceit of the United Mine
Workers of America. And be it fur
ther
"Resolved, that inasmuch as this
new union has been brought into ex-
istence as a protest against the graft
and corruption existing within the
United Mine Workers of America
which there is no hope left left of
purifying, it must not be considered
as a dual movement, but as n new or
ganization standing for the principles
.of pure democracy as exemplified by
the American labor movement, and.
therefore, the executive board is in
structed to make application for a
charter of affiliation with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor"
The closing session OF the conven-
tion will be held tomorrow

BaIfour Says War Must Go on

10y NcRkINo JouRNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiREl
Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling
has failed to drive a wedge between
the entente allies by his reply to
President Wilson. The German
Germanys acts belle its words, and
Paris and London have officially re-
jected any proffers of the olive
branch that the more hopeful of the
people saw in the acceptance in prin-
ciple of the four points enunciated
by President Wilson as the basis for
peace negotiations.
Arthur j. Balfour the British sec
retary for foreign affairs sounded
the keynote of the entente allies
when, speaking at London, he said
that until German militarism was q
thing of the past, and there came
into existence a court armed with
executive powers making the weak
nations as safe as the strong, the war
must go on. He characterized Won
Hartling's attitude toward Belgium
as unsatisfactory and insisted that
German practice does not coincide
with President Wilson's propositions.
Philip Scheidemann, the German
socialist leader, has voiced the pro-
test of his party to the peace that is
being forced upon Russia. In the
reichstag he said Germany must ne
gotlhte q peace by understanding
and that the independence of Bel
glum must be secured. He says that
the F1emings and WaIloons must set
tie their own differences.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Japan has
directed inquiries to the entente pow
ers and the United States government
to test their feeling towards pro-
posal to institute joint military oper-
atoms in Siberia to save the vast
quantities of war suppliesc stored at
VIadivostok and along the Siberian
railroad. Criticism at home of the
failure of Japan to play larger part
in the war is said to have been in
fluential in bringing about the nego-
triations
Officials here refuse to discuss this
subject for publication, but it is un-
derstood that so far as America Is
concerned the proposition, when first
broached, was not wholly acceptable,
though the exchanges on the subject.
which are still in progress, may re-
suit in modifying the governments
attitude.
Supplies of All Kinds.

of American manufacture and even
greater quantities of japanese origin.
which were delivered long before the
Rolsheviki took possession of the
Russian government. The material
suffers greatly from deterioration
through exposure, but the principal
matter of concern to the allies is the
danger that the stores shall fall into
the hands of the Germans, who may
make their delivery a condition of
any peace treaty which they may
compel the Bolsheviki to sign.
This situation is regarded by the
Japanese as warranting military ac-
tion on their part. They are quite
willing to have the cooperation of
the American and entente forces as
the problem now before the co-bel-
figerents is whether Japan shall be
allowed to proceed single handed If
such a campaign is begun or whether
there shall be joint operations. 1t
has been argued that there should be
q combination movement to avoid any
question as to the ultimate disposition
of the occupied territory in Siberia.
No Troops Available.
From the tone Of the discussion of
this subject in official Washington It
appears that while the entente gov
ernments incline Favorable to a joint
campaign with Japan in Siberia they
are faced with the obstacle that prac-
ticallyF none of them has any troops
or ships available for an Asiatic
campaign. This statement does not
apply, however, to America, which
not only has some powerful cruisers
with large crews and marine contin-
gents now in Asiatic waters, but in
addition, has about 10000 troops in
the Philippines and two full battal-
ions, about 900 strong. in China and
on the railroad where they could be
rushed quickly into Siberia.
While that American force would
be Insignificant compared to Japan's,
the participation of the American
troops in the campaign would serve
to maintain it's international charac-
ter.
The Russian representatives in
Washington strongly disapprove of
any campaign in Siberia conducted
under Japanese auspices even though
there be joint operations. urging the
belief that the Bolsheviki elements
struggling for control at Vladivos
tok and along the Siberian railroad
will never permit the military stores
TO pass into German possession.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Rehabilita-
ton of the Spanish railroad system is
planned by the United States to make
possible the shipment of large quanti-
ties of supplies from Spain to General
Pershing's forces in France.
An offer of American railway ma
terials has been made as a part of the
negotiations the United States is con-
ducting to induce Spain to lift her en-
barge against the shipment of goods
in France, placed, according to the
Spanish government, because of the
broken down condition of her roads.
final agreement has not been
signed, but Spain has been notified
that all Spanish ships held in Amer
lean ports may sail as soon as they
discharge the parts of their cargoes
for which licenses have been with
held There are in American ports
six Spanish steamers and half as many
sailing ships.
The American government has
asked for the use of considerable

those accepted by northern European
neutrals. This tonnage could be paid
for at high rate and for the most
part would be used in hazardous
trades.
To Release Spanish Ships
The war trade boards plan for re-
ducing imports calls for a considerable
cut in the importation of Spanish
products. As the American govern
ment's own needs and those of its as
sociates in the war will absorb most
of the export commodities produced
in the United States, exports to Spain
also will be limited This, officials
think, should release a number of
Spanish ships now plying between the
United States and Spain. which the
Spanish government could charter.
The Spanish embargo stopped the
shipment of mules, blankets and other
supplies General Pershing had or
dered. The United States will let
Spain have general railroad supplies
and parts to put Spanish locomotives
in good repair A shipment OF lubri-
eating oil for immediate necessities
has been authorized,
