AFTER THE WAR
PROBLEMS FORM
BULK OF SPEECH
President Mentions the Voyage
Abroad But Says Nothing of
Peace Pians-NO Strings on
Business.

Washington, Dee. 2.-Congress in
joint session today heard President
Wilson announce formally his purpose
to attend the peace conference and
give his views on the part the govern
ment should play in dealing with
after -the-war problems.
Democrats of the House received
the announcement with cheers in
which some senator's joined; the Re-
publicans were silent almost through
out the address except when the
president referred to the valor and
efficiency of Americas soldiers and
mentioned the names of Pershing and
Sims. Threatened interruption by
members who disapproved Of the trip
and of the presidents failure to in
clude senator among the peace dele
gates, however, did not materialize.
During the first hour of the new
session, Senator Cummins of Iowa,
Republican, introduced a resolution
" SCitN a NOllliiilItCt VI ClSbI SS4leiIOAo
to Paris to keep the senate advised of
the progress of the peace conference,
and in the House, Representative
Rodenburg, of Illinois, Republican,
had offered a resolution proposing
that the vice president take over the
executive functions upon the depar-
ture of Mr.. Wilson from the country.
Senator Sherman Of Illinois, Re-
publican, announced later that he
would submit tomorrow a resolution
similar to that of Representative Rod
enburg, except that it would declare
the office of president vacant.
The presidents annual address was
read before a crowd that filled floors
an dgalleries. He reviewed at length
the country's accomplishments in the
war, paying tribute to the armed
forces and to loyal workers at home.
Among other things, he disclosed
| that he thinks the problem of read
justment is taking care of itself with
out government aid.

Was explained today by the president
and emphasized later by railroad off
cials who admitted they anticipated
difficulty in carrying out plans for
acquiring new equipment, distributing
it among roads and making extensive
improvements contemplated for next
year, without stretching the govern
lhent's war powers beyond the point
where railroad companies are willing
to cooperate,
Any congressional committee which
might be created would virtually take
up the work of the old committee
headed by the late Senator Newlands,
which conducted an inquiry into the
condition of railroads before they
We're taken over by the government.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has gathered considerable information
on railroad matters during the months
of federal management which would
be available. Congressional leaders,
including the chairmen of the Senate
and House interstate commerce COM
mittees, said tonight that the line of
action yet is undetermined. Several,
however, believed that joint con-
gressional inquiry either by new
Joint committee or by the existing
body will begin soon.
Democratic leaders expressed hope
that legislation will be possible dur
ing the present session, but some Re
publican members said it was doubt
full if so important and debatable a
question could be decisively settled
during the congestion of the short
session.

TELL OF ENEMY's APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind Of sentlnels That an
Army Can Employ.

A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most In the battle zone.
told OF finding a robins nest in an
empty shell case.
As rule birds are the finest SEN
tinels In the animal kingdom. They
become aware Of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
IN tho war parrots were kept at the
Eifrel tower as sentinels, but they,
Erew accustomed to the sound Of en-
envy planes and were no longer OF use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily II Zeppelins are mp
preaching. even when they are far
away, SO far that man can hear no
sound
What Is perhaps stranger Is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight balloon when II is COM
Ing over. The 'blister" makes no
sound. yet. should one appear against
the sky. miles from a farmyard, the
farmer will be made aware OF the fact
by the curious antics OF his pigs and
the clucking Of his hens.
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence Of danger, and many
pet shows uneasiness before a raid.
Cats. too, show fear Of gunfire and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs. birds and horses are very SEN
sitiye to sound. Watch the birds dur
Ing daylight raid. listen TO the dogs,
and visit che stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But
that all animals can sccustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear Is
proved by our cavalry horses. dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest In the
empty shell case.

FLUSH KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS IF
BACK IS ACHING
Noted Authority says we eat toe
much meat, which clogs
Kidneys.
Take glass of Salts when Kidneys
hurt or Bladder bothers e,.-
Won.

\, No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a we'll known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the Kidneys
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, 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 Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acdis in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
4 Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent hthia-water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

HIT U-B0AT CAPTAIN
Nova Scotian Gave German 100 Per
Cent Down East Jolt on Jaw and
Owed Overheard to Freedom

An Atlantic Port, May 8.-To have
felIed a German U-boat commander
on the deck of a submarine and
then to have made his escape is the
experience of Captain D. J. McDon-
aid, the tall. ruddy Nova Scotian
skipper of the three-masted schooner
John G. Walter, now at the bottom
of the Atlantic. His quickness in
diving overheard and the timely ap-
pearance Of an allied destroyer
saved him. The captain told of his
experience late yesterday when he
arrived on an American steamship.
The schooner. he said, was on her
way from a Canadian port to Eng
land when she fell in with a SUBJ
marine. The U-boat commander, aft
err ordering the crew to take to their
boats, sank her with bombs. He took
the captain off, however. and or
dered him on board the U-boat.
While some Of the German crew
were bringing over some of the
stores taken from the Walter the two
captains stood on the deck and
watched the proceedings.
''I guess you will have to make a
visit to Germany the German naval
officer said.
Captain Mcdonald did not reply
mediately. He waited a, few sec
onds, and then his fist shot out and
caught the German on the point of
the jaw. AS the U-boat commander
fell stunned the Nova Scotian turned
and went head first over the side.
II swan under water as long as I
could, and when I came up 1 was
fortunate enough in emerging in such
q position that one of the small boats
was between me and the submarine"
The under-sea boat moved about
the small boats intent on locating the
skipper. He said that there was
wreckage floating about and that he
was fortunate. when he dived again,
in getting behind some of it SO that
he was hidden from the submarine.
The search was still on when a de-
stDyer hove into view and the Ger
mans hastily submerged.

THE MANY IN ONE.

"The President" said Secretary Lane, "is our war council. The Sec retary's truthfulness exposed the weakness of the system under which the United States is now waging war. The President is not soldier, he is not a business man, he never was a legislator. Yet he lis our war coun- cil." The Council of National De- fense, even if he were inclined to lis- ten to that body, is no better off. Its membership comprises two lawyers, a college president, a retired business man, an editor, and labor union of ficial. And so "the President is our war council" This narrows>the re- sponsibility even as it widens the danger.
