German Newspaper Asks Clear State:
ment of Peace Terms.

From uncensored sources the Com
niittee on Public Information has re-
ceived editorial comment on the
Presidents recent message in Che
Frankfurter Zeitung, a liberal organ
with large circulation throughout the
German Empire. The following par
agraph appears in the translation:
"The foundation for the peace ne
%gotiations has not yet been found,
but we have approached much nearer
to it. Wilson seeks a way out Of the
war and does so in a manner not en-
tirely in accord with us. We see no
reason for exposing ourselves any
longer to the eharge of lack of clar-
Iity about our war aims. Germany and
her allies should come out openly
with their terms. Then perhaps it
will be seen that a continuation of
the war can be avoided and the re-
sistance of governments to the desire
for peace of their peoples can be ov-
ercome."

are high, and buy later, if he wishes,
after prices go down.
In fact it would be wisdom if he
would follow this plan. Cut down on
the purchases of Injuries and saw for
the next period of depression. That
is just what the United States is ask
ing him to do in connection with the
War Savings campaign. The world
needs food-all that can be produced.
The government needs money-all
that can be had. Let the farmer pro-
duce the food and supply a hungry
world, and put his money-part, at
least from every load of produce he
sells-into government war savings
stamps.
The security is the best in the
world; the interest rate is good; the
War Savings stamps cannot decline
in value. The men, women and chill
dren who own them are insured
against adversely.

that unprecedented demands for am

cate a shortage in this chemical so
widely used in producing ice and in

A shortage of ice during warm
weather in 1918 would result in I'M

home, in small creameries, and other
establishments dependent upon con
slant ice service. The United

nation on the harvesting and storing

Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Cannot Salivate
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's drug
gist, has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason, Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking it's
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and
people know it, while Dod-
sons Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results"
said a prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bot
tie costs but a few cents, and if
it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a
pleasant-tasting purely vege-
table remedy, Harmless to both
children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness,
sick headache, acid stomach or
constipated bowels. It doesn't
grippe or cause Inconvenience
all the next day like violent cal
omel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nausea
ted. Don't lose a days work!
Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, fullSof vigor
and ambition. 5

40 to SO Men Required for Ea

Airplane in Active Service.
In a statement issued by Howard
E. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft
Production Board, is the following:
"In discussing the accomplishments
of the air service in the consumma-
ton of the Army program, it will be
well to point out the impossibility OF
certain proposals enthusiastically and
persistently put forward by word of
mouth and in the press. We have
seen and heard much of the proposal
of 100, 600 airplanes' to be provided
by the United States within the next
year. In a country where one great
industry produces 100000 motor
ears per year, the fabrication of 100,-
900 planes might seem easy, but ac-
tual figures based upon three years OF
practical experience in the war show
that there are now between 40 and
so men of the auxiliary service re-
quired for each active machine at the
front. Ii this same ratio should be
adhered to in our service it would
mean that some 100000 men would
be required in our aeronautical de-
partment on foreign soil between ou1
ports Of debarkation and the fighting
front.
even though this number of men
could be reduced by SO per cent by
increased efficiency and STANDARDIZED
ton, the number required Is still stag
gering. Consider, also, the overseas
transportation problem as related to
material only and without reference
to personel and its maintenance. The
transportation of finished planes,
properly Grated, with the necessary
spares, accessories, and equipment is
in itself a serious problem, in view
of the situation in ship tonnage"
