Justice Is Crux of New Policy.

Wilson's policy Of consideration for
the rights of smaller peoples, of JUS
tice and fair dealing among nations
will supplant Bismarcks, which was
given impulse in the conference of
Berlin.
THE peace of Europe is not insured
nor the interests of any power per-
manently served by creating un-
natural, unjust and intolerable con-
ditions; the failure to recognize that
even in international politics justice
is. in the long run, the surest founda-
tions of states and nations" wrote
robert Howard Lord in his history of
the congress of Berlin.
President Wilson is moved now as
he has been from the entry of this
country into the world war by the
resolution to use his personal inf'u-
eIfce SO far as it may be of weight
and consequence, to the support of q
peace treaty which will insist upon
tire principles that the Bismarck policy
and the treaty of Berlin ignored and
Iepudiated.

Will Bolshevism Break outp

Will order prevail in the new Ger.

Vienna is at once the wheel and the
hub. or will there be an outbreak of
bolsheyism? This question is on everv

C. A. CONNALLY
LAID TO REST

Guy A. Connally, Head Consul OF
the Woodmen of the World, State
of Louisiana, was laid to rest in the
Greenwood cemetery at Jennings
Sunday afternoon, the impressive
ceremonies of the Catholic church
and Of his chosen fraternity, mark
ing the closing chapter Of an earnest
interesting career.
Mr.. Connally had been resident
of vinton for the past several months
where he died Saturday afternoon OF
pneumonia following an attack OF
the influenza and was only SICK
about nine days. He was one OF the
| big, strong, healthy men just in the
prime of life, the type of which the
present influenza epidemic seems to
have sought for its victims.
The remains were conveyed to
Jennings on train No. 4, where, IN
spite of the ban on public gatherings,
a large gathering of friends waited
| to assist in conveying the remains OF
beloved compatriot to their last
resting place.
The deceased was a native Of Car
encro, La, where he was born forty
one years ago. He came to Jennings
number of years ago being en-
ployed for several years in the old
State bank. During his residence
here he was active in affairs and well
fare of the community, and being big
of stature and jovial Of disposition
he won a wide acquaintance and a
close friendship with the men of
this section. He was a member of
the Jennings Lodge W. o. W. and
had been voted all of the official
honors of that lodge. At the meet
ing Of the head camp in New Iberia
in 1917 he was elected head consul
which position in woodcraft he held
with credit to himself and the order
until death removed him. He was a
very devout member of the Catholic
church, the impressive service of
which was conducted at the grave by
the Rev. Father Espitallier, rector of
the Jennings church.
Besides mother, brothers and
sisters, the deceased leaves a wife
and three children to mourn his
passing.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-08-02

Possibilities Of peace offensive
were discussed in the senate at the
semiweekly session at Washington. All
senators who spoke declared the crush
ing defeat of Germany was necessary
before peace negotiations could be con-
sidered. Senator Lewis of Illinois,
Democratic whip, warned Americana
against new professions of peace and
false propaganda" from Germany.
secretary Baker announced that on
the reconvening of congress he would
present with his request for new APP
preparations, plans for modification of
the draft ages and Somewhat larger
military mobilization" The plan con-
Germs the mobilization of huge Amer
lean army probably upward of 5,OOO,-
600 men.
President Wilson at Washington
placed lynchers squarely on the side
OF Germany. In stirring denuncia-
ton of mob rule and a plea to all
Americans ito make an end to this dis
graceful evil" he declared that any
man who even so much as counte-
nanced mob action is betrayer OF
American democracy and adopts the
standards of the enemies of his coun-
try, whom he affects to despise."

SOLDIERS "ADOPTED' BY Pig
Odd Mascot That History Records as
Attaching Itself to Company of
kentucky Volunteers.

There is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1912. A
company Of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed o nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named.
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company; and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this it
did daily on the march to the river.

WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak a little. at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. mot SO young
as used to be" is a frequent and unweE
come thought. Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
SO much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying. complications. in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with ell
derby people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.
For over 200 years GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil has been relieving the in
convenience and pain due to advancing
years. 1t is standard, old-time home
remedy, and needs no introduction 1t is
now put up in odorless, tasteless capsules.
These are easier and more pleasant to take
than the oil in bottles.
Each capsule contains about one dose of
five drops. Take them just like you would
any pill, with small swallow of water.
They soak into the system and throw off
the poisons which are making you old be-
fore your time. They will quickly relieve
