THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN

y
Whose distaste for one of our city
officials is known from one end of the
city to the other. She has told her
feelings on the subject to everyone
she could get to listen. Her lecture
about this man consumes Just one
hour in its delivery, and is said by
many who have heard it, to be
worth a dollar of anybodys money.
There is just one person in town who
is not apprised of this woman's at
titude toward the city official. and
that person is the woman's husband
He is deaf. and his wife has never
been able to stand the strain of MAX
ing the entire address audible TO him,
and she never abridges it. Conse-
quently. the husband is one of the
most frequent and friendly callers at
the office of the city ruler. This
clandestine friendship of theirs has
gone on for years, as hidden from
the wife's knowledge. as the wife's
dislike is remote from the husband
ken.

however, has opened the way to the
Valley Of the Disc and the investment
OF Laon from the north. The fall Of
La tcre, already encircled on three
sides by the French, and the swift de
velopment Of an attacking line along
the flank Of the withdrawal seems i'm
mincnt.
Already the Germans have given up
the high ground just northwest of
Rheims that has been their centre of
resistance on that front The French
now face them for some distance along
the Rheims-Laon road, with open
ground at the Germans backs. Incl
dentally, another pocket is developing
just east of Rheims that the enemy
cannot disregard, and extension Of the
withdrawal to this sector appears a
logical process.
1t would cause little surprise here il
wholly new assault developed within
the next day OR tive, with the French
striking directly northward from
Rheims and the lines east of that place
to a junction with the advancing
French army west Of the Argonne. The
open ground through which the Ger
man retirement must carry them loos
attractive to many observers as the
scene of possible open warfare. with
the odds all on Marshal Foch's side.
The situation on the Belgian coast
brings up again the old suggestion of
a flank attack by sea. There was some
speculation tonight concerning wheth-
cr it might not prove possible to force
a landing and assail the enemy in the
rear, as reports said the German sea
coast batteries were being withdrawn.

ing to Vienna dispatch printed in the
Frankfort "Gazctte."
Vienna newspapers, says an Amster-
Gam telegram, describe the tremendous
sensation caused in the Austrian capi-
tai by the Bulgarian collapse. Rumors
spread with lightning rapidity that
Turkey had followed suit, that King
Ferdinand had abdicated, that his pal
ace had been blown up and that rev
olution had broken out in Bulgaria.
These rumors we're promptly denied
but the impression remained that Bull
garias secession had administered 9
grave blow to the Dual Monarchy.
Panic on Vienna Boursc
There was a panic on the Boerse
where the losses, according to the
"Ncues Journal ran up to 100 points
in some cases. The pandcmonium on
the Budapest Boersc was such that
business had to be suspended. The
closing of both the Vienna and Buda-
pest Boerse was contemplated for a
time. The move was not carried out,
however, although at Budapest Boerse
committee was found necessary to fiX

Wilson in his New York speech, taken

SoH Insists Upon
Return of Colonies
AS Main Peace Term

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2.-Dr. w. S.
Sof, the German Colonial Secretary,
who has been mentioned as the prob
able successor of Count Won Hertling,
the retiring Chancellor, in a lecture
before al audience in Munich, which
included King Ludwig Of Bavaria, said
the national Importance of Germany re-
gaining her colonies far surpassed any
other tack.
Substitutes for raw material, he said,
could not suffice for peace require
ments. Off wool alone Germany would
have to keep 50,000OOO sheep. which
was practically impossible The sup
ply of raw materials was the weakest
point in cGrmany's world economy.
Hence tie need for colonies.
DR.. Solf argued that Germany must
have colonies to prevent her CONNER
cial isolation. He said the policy CT
the open door must be one of the most
important demands at the conclusion
OF peace. Germany had no thought of
militarizing Africa, he contendcd, but
desired to prevent the employment of
colorel men in europe.
The imperial German government.
the Colonial Secretary said, adhered
firmly to it's demand for the return Of
its African and South Sea possessions
as we'll as a fresh partition of Africa
so as to consolidate Gcrmany's scat
tered possessions.

Says Serbia Asks
Only Secured Peace
Not More Territory

PARIS. Oct. 2.-"The only wish of
the Serbians is to return to their
homes and resume life under normal
and democratic conditions. We do not
wish for additions to our territory by
conquest, but desire to be left in
peace" said DR.. NJ. r. Vesnitch, Ser
bian Minister to France.
''In short time the Serbian govern
ment will return to its old capital at
Ushub," added Nikola Pachitch, former
Serbian Premier and representative of
that country in the Inter-Allied War
Council. "We entertain no spirit of
revenge or spite, although we have
suffered much from the Bulgarians and
Austrians. We wish to make our coun-
try the promised land for which the

domination and tyranny of the Haps-
burgs for SO long. have been signing"

Vesnitch. 81 am sure America will not
withhold assistance. While l was in
America President Wilson received me
at the White House and said: You may
rest assured, my dear minister. that
the hearts of all Americans their
President not for single instant sep
arated from them IN tie same feeling,
have been with the Serbians from the
very moment the atrocious ultimatum
was sent by the Austrian government
The neutrality imposed by our national
duty had no influence upon the judg
men of the honest citizens of this
democracy"
Zone nation alone might fear the
foundation of a great go-Slav, Slo-
yak, Croat and Serbian power in the
Balkans" he continued THAT nation
is Germany. That should be another
reason why the Allies should make an
effort to create this new power. 1t
would mean the end of the Berlin Bag
dad dream. 1t would be the end of
the dream Of world domination by the
German military party.
I'VE have maintained firm attitude
and stout heart against the tyranny
of the house of Hapsburg. We have
been courageous in defeat. When our
country was overrun by hordes of the
Bulgarian Car, the Emperor Of the
Dual Monarchy and the German Kaiser
we did not yelp for mercy, as one of
our enemies is already doing when his
territory is barely invaded. But we
wish TO be just in victory. Our down
trodden brethren in Austria Hungary
and Bulgaria may look upon the re-
establishment of Serbia as the dawn
Of peace, happiness and loberty."

tant step in the direction of peace.
The consensus of c@inion in the Dual
Monarchy, according to message from
the Vienna semi off icial news agency
is that the Emperor's letter solves the
question Of parlame rization in Ger
many, while the points made by Prcsi-
dent Wilson seem to offer chance Of
agreement, inasmuch as he did not, it

principles laid down by the Central
Powers, and, on the other hand, that
his points "do contain a definite mega

thrown in the face of the Central
Pcwers."
The Presidents latest speech, says
the message. opens fresh ground for a
peace discussion, (Which is the main
thing"
The message concludes by saying
that the Austro Hungarian monarchy
must continue to labor untiringly in
the direction Of peace, and it cXhorts

This
Store Applied
The Same Idea
To Mems Clothing

The guiding principle
has been this:
Most men have a rea-
sonable regard for their
appearance.
Accuracy in tailoring
and fit is not overlooked.
Substantial qualities are
earnestly sought.
And the satisfaction
that results from finding
something that is in
trinsically good - that
reflects the ideas and
ideals of the wearer-is
a prime requisite.

Bulgar Deserters
Advancing on Sofia,
Beaten Says Vienna

AMSTERDAM, Oct. "A Sofia dis
patch, dated Monday, and received
through Vienna, says:
"Thc dcscrtcrs who were advancing
on Sofia have been driven back to
Vladaja and Vitoz dcilc by government
troops. There is no danger for the
capita.'
From the fact that the above dis
patch comes through Austria, it would
appear that the Austrian authorities
are attempting to make it look as
though part of the Bulgarian army
has deserted, whereas it is probable the
"dcserters" mentioned are the troops
who arc retiring from Serbia under
conditions OF the Bulgarian armistice
There have been no other reports OF
dlsscns'on in the Bulgarian army.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
 or Have Bladder Trouble.

No man or woman who eats. meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which eXcites the kidneys they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv- ousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy offensive full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with ithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot lnjure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
