PRINCES RECOGNIZED

And yet President Wilson knows-as at any rate the German edition of book on the state proves-German political literature and he knows, therefore, that with us princes and governments are the highest members of the nation as a whole, organized in the form of state the highest members with whom the final decision lies. But seeing that they Elso as the supreme organs, belong to the whole, the decision is of such a nature that only the welfare of the whole is the guiding line for a decision to be taken. It may be useful express ly to point this out to President Will sons countrymen.
 Then, finally at the close of the second clause, the game of the balance of power is declared to be forever dis credited. We, too, can only gladly ap- plaud. As is well known, it was Eng land who invented the principle of the maintenance of the balance of power, in order especially to apply it when one of the states on the European conti- nent threatened to become too power full for her. 1t was only another eX- nresSiOn for F.npiand's S domination

 aRussfa's greatest strength lies in her wide territories and the govern ment can. and if need be, will retreat. If the threat against PetroGrad in- crcascs the government will remove to Moscow or another city,"
 Petrograd, February 26.-An official proclamation issued today, calling upon the people to defend the capital, says:

TERRITORIAL SETTLEMENT

''The third clause, according to which territorial settlement involved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the populations concern ed. and not as part of any mere ad- iustment or compromise of claims among rival states, is only the application of the foregoing in definite direction. or q deduction from it, and is, therefore, included in the assent given to that clause.
 Now in the fourth clause he de- mands that all well defined snational aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetual ing old elements of discord and antag- onsm that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe, and, conse- uuently of the world. Here, also, can give assent in principle. and l declare, therefore, with President Wilson, that a general peace on such basis is dis cussahle.
 ..Only one reservation is to be made. These principles must not be proposed by the President of the United States alone, but they must be also recognized dei- initely by all states and nations. Presi- dent Wilson who reproaches the Ger man chancellor with a certain amount or backwardness seems to me in his filght of ideas to have hurried far in advance of existing realities.

 "1'he first clause says that each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that par ticular case and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring peace that will be permanent.
 JUSTICE IS FOUNDATION
 Who would contradict this? The phrase coined by the great father of the church, Augustine, 150o years ago 'Justitia fundamentum regnorum'-is still vailed today. Certain it is that only peace based in all it's parts on the prin- ciples of justice has a prospect of en- durance.

All convoys were lost at this time and the ship made the remaining portion of the trip alone. They arrived at New York city on February F, after a 1S-day voyage. MT. Walker also stated that the trip over with the Rainbow division last51 IS days and that he was in the company com manded by Capt Lacey Edmundson of this city. He said the boys lover there" were provided with every comfort and were enjoying the military life, and that they especially appreciated the atten- ton shown them by the American Red Cross now in France. He states the boys are most anxious to get into the trenches and experience-some actual fighting. Pri- vate Walker brought many messages to Bessemer citizens from the boys over there.

 Declaring that new German operations aCainst Russia were taken at the re- quest of the population to restore order and that they did not aim at conquests' the chancellor continued.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

'.Certanly league of nations erect ed upon justice and mutual unseifisn ap- preciation, a condition of humanity Tn which war. together with all that re- mains of the earliest barbarlsm, shoulu have completely disappeared and Tn which there should be no bloody sacrl- fees. no self -mutilation of peoples, no destruction of laborously acquired cul- tural values-that would be an aim de- voutly to be desired.
 .'But that aim has not yet been reach- ed There does not yet exist a court of arbitration set up by all nations for the safeguarding of peace in the name of justice. When President Wilson incl dentally says that the German chancel- Tor is speaking to the court of the en- tire world, | must, as things stand to- day. in the maine of the German empire and her allies, decline this court as preiudiced joyfully as l would greet it if an impartial court of arbitration existed and gladly as l would cooperate to realize such ideals.
 Unfortunately, however. there IS no trace of a similar state of mind on the part of the leading powers in the en- tente. England's war aims, as recently expressed in Lloyd Georges speeches, are still thoroughly imperialistic and want to impose on the world peace according to England's good pleasure. When England talks about peoples risht of self-determination she does not tnlnk of applying the principle to lreiaha' lIeypt or India"

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble. because we eat too much and all our food is rich.

 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pnar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.
