13. Must be decided by Germany
and Austria.
ID Discussable after all other ques-
tionS are settled.
The Austrian Answer
Count CZernin, the Austro- Hungar-
ian foreign minister, in his reply to
the speeches Of Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson, made double
bid for peace with Russia and with
the United States. He asserted that:
Austria does not demand an inch Of
territory not a penny of indemnity
from Russia.
An exchange of views between Aus
tria-Hungary and America might
form the starting point for a general
peace discussion among all belliger-
ents.
President Wilson's peace conditions
form an important advance toward
Austria a-Hungary's viewpoint.
In some Of Mr.. Wilson's proposals
Austria Hungary "would gladly join"
Austria Hungary, however, is loyal
to Germany and will support her.
The population of Poland must de-
eide it's own fate.
There is a difference Of view be-
tween Russia and Germany regarding
the principle of self determination. 1t
is not serious enough to justify a
break up of the Brest Litovsk par.
leys.
Austria Hungary is "practically in
agreement" with the conditions out
lined by President Wilson as being
imperative after the war.

ficcs to get the food to the soldiers.
Presid lent Wilson's program will be
voluntary in some measure, but in
others it will be enforceable under the
food law. The food administration
warns that the situation does not bear
of delay, "and we propose to do the
best we can on voluntary basis
plus what authority we do possess"
No privations are asked. There are
plenty of substitute foods that this
country can use to advantage, it was
stated.
Explaining the vast work Of feeding
Europe done by this country the food
administration says the demands are
growing daily. On January l the
country had exported 60,OOO,OO0 bush
els of wheat, comprising the normal
surplus from the last harvest.
In addition to the 75,000,000 bush
els now asked by Great Britain, the
country must find 100000 bushels
for the Belgian relief, to prevent star
walton; 100000 bushels for Cuba
and other ncutrals upon whom we are
dependent for other foods in return.

wife HAPPY OVER
HIS BIG APPETITE
Mrs. Rogers Appreciates Husbands
Compliment to Her Cooking
ONCE SUFFERED MUCH
MIR. Rogers Suffered Long with Stom-
ach Trouble but Was Restored
by Tanlac

"My fine appetite certainly plcases
my wife, for she is good cook and
likes to see me enjoy my meals" said
H. M. Rogers, of 106 Budd ST., Ell
mira, N. Y, in story for men and
women, too, who have finicky ap-
petite and cannot eat the fine, nour-
ishing meals that are set before
them.
"For while," Mr.. Rogers explain
ed, 81 couldn't eat any solid food. I
was continually bothered with gas
gas and bloating that made me feel
as if were going to burst. My breath
would come short and I would have a
stuffed up, suffocating feeling. 1t
, seemed to affect my heart. My stom-
ach was so sore 1 could hardly touch
it. l kept doctoring and trying rene
dies but got worse instead of better.
While was suffering so 1 kept hear
ing of new medicine, Tanlac, and
commenced to take it. I didn't get any
relief from the first bottle, and l said
to myself, 'Stung again. but people
told me to give it fair trial, and so
kept on. In little while then be-
gan to improve. After my fourth bot
tie l felt fine. The old appetite came
back; l did not have any more gas or
bloating or suffocating spells, and my
stomach and whole system were toned
right up.
"That is all true" declared Mrs.
Rogers. "Tanlac worked wonders for
him, and we are glad to tell Gus ex-
perience to everyone. 1t is no use to
doubt this Tanlac; it does the work."
Tanlac is the Master Medicine for
ailments of stomach, liver and kid

 Louis A.

 Any Irishman who has ever read the charge oi Gens Lally Dillon, Clare and Roth at the Battle Of Fontenoy would blush with shame to refuse to fight for today. Ireland for the time being should forget hatred of Great Britain and either consent to conscription else volunteer to fight in this greatest of all When the Allies defeat Ger many the council table the Allies will then ask that Ireland receive home rule and local self-govern ment the same as Canada and Australia. afraid, if Ireland persists in this of fighting conscrip tion Allies after peace is declared will have the United States Italy, Portugal and Belgium place General there is why Ireland should not do likewise in the of freedom
 Ireland, if she did not allow her hatred of Eng land to blind her to all else, would realize that if she does to fight for England, she should be eager to fight for herself; for, badly England may have treated her, victorious Germany would treat her infinitely If she does not t fight England, she should object to fight fol the United States And if she does to fgh for England the United States, she ought to be glad of the opportunity to fight for France.
