The Interstate Doctors

The Interstate Doctors had a re-
markable day last Friday in their Rich
mond office over the Starr Piano
Store. The office was crowded all
day and Doctor Culver was very
tired man when he closed the office
at night. This community has just
awakened to the fact that The Inter-
state Doctors have achieved wonder
full reputation all over this country.
Remember, Doctor Culver, the Head
Physician, will be here all day next
Friday, the IL, from a. m. to s p. m.
to give his able and scientific treat
ment and research to all patients who
present themselves for treatment Ex-
animation and advice is absolutely
free. No charges only for medicines
actually used. The Interstate Doctors
treat nothing but chronic and obscure
cases-no bedside sickness-and best
of all they accept no cases for treat
ment where they have any doubt about
being able to give relief.
Remember the day and date-No
necessity for being continuous suf-
ferer when the newer methods of The
Interstate Doctors are at your COM
mand-The Interstate Doctors is
permanent fixture and creditable IN
stitution for Richmond. The following
letter from one of our neighboring
towns is a sample of letters they re-
ceive at their different offices every
day. You don't have to search an al
manac or go to the Allegheny Noun
tains to learn of their success. but
your neighbors right here at home are
heralding it every day.

In expressing his disappointment,
Representative Fess said the presi-
dent had taken the step against
which the country has been warned
1.-THE way has been opened" said
Mr.. Fess. "for Germany to save her
self by withdrawing her armies with
in her own border by agreement rath-
er than by retreat under fire, as she
has been forced to do the last few
weeks. Peace discussions with Ger
many before our armies are on her
soil will not insure the future. Tho
imperial chancellor, the appointee OF
the Kaiser, and as such the spokes-
man OF the Hohenzollern government,
will doubtless enter the door now
open to declare himself the voice OF
the German people. Who will be able
to refute it?
II had hoped that no step would be
taken to transfer the discussion from
the field to the table. do not believe
the soldiers or the country will ever
be satisfied with anything short OF a
conclusive peace, which can only be
assured by such chastisement of Ger
many as will make a like sacrifice In

til he has examined the note more
carefully.

Majority Of Leaders in Con-

Peace Note.

congressional leaders last night ap
proved President Wilson's note of in
quiry TO Germany, and especially his
refusal to accept any proposal for an
armistice until the enemy evacuates

Massachusetts. Republican leader and
senior minority member of the Senate
foreign relations committee, and Rep
resentative Fess of Ohio, chairman OF
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, expressed keen dis
appointment IN the course taken by
the Presidents
Il am keenly disappointed" said
Senator Lodge, that the President
should at this stage enter into a dis
cussion with the imperial German gov
ernment. as he has done in the note
signed by Mr. Lansing. In his first
and second paragraphs he asks for
further information and invited fur
ther discussion, 1t is true that in the
last paragraph he inquiries whether
Prince Maximilian of Baden repre-
sents merely the constituted authori-
ties OF the German empire. Prince
Macmillan is the chancellor of the
German empire. appointed by the kais-
er. i do not understand what he can
possibly represent except the consti-
tuted authorities, which represent the
German empire and the German peo.
pie, unless a revolution has occurred
OF which the world as yet has no
knowledge. To us he stands as the
representative of Germany and of the
kaiser.
Adhere to Previous Words.
Personally I adhere to the state
ment of the President. made in his
speech OF Sept. o. in which he said ::
We are all agreed that there can be
no peace obtained by any kind Of bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments OF the central empires because
we have dealt with them already and
have seen them deal with other gov
ernments that were parties to this
struggle, at Brest-Litovsk and Bucha-
rest.
Il feel very strongly that there
should be no discussion with the Ger
man government until they are ready
and compelled to accept the terms we
think 1t right to impose.
Are They to Destroy in Retreat?
THE president answering the sus-
gestion by the imperial German gov
ernment of an armistice says the good
faith OF this proposal rests on the con-
sent Of the central powers to with
draw their armies from invaded terri
tory. Are they to withdraw unat-

i.troying as they go, to positions be-
hind the Rhine, where they will have
time and opportunity to refresh their
armies and replenish their munitions?

as to what effect this note will have
