IN INTERESTS OF PEACE
Speech Like Reichstag Views, One

In Negotiations In VIII
sons Words.

Amsterdam, Feb 16. - President
Wilson'S address has been printed in
full by the Berlin Tageblatt, the Vos-
ssche Zeitung, Vorwaerts, the Lokal
Anzeiger, the Kolnische Zeitung and

Rheininsche Westfalische Zeitung and
the Dusseldorf Nachric!lten have
printed abridged versions.
The Kolnische Volks Zeitung ad.
dressed to President Wilson a wordy
editorial longer than it's summary of
his speech. The editorial admits that
the President shows all honest en-.
ueavor toward peace, but it regrets
it is not a just peace.
Speech Striving for Peace.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
"President Wilson's latest speech is
not a warlike speech. 1t is more than
it's predecessors, namely speech
striving to work in the interests OF
peace. The sole purpose of its war
like phrases is to emphasize the
strength of unconquered America and
add weight to it's voice in the con-
cert of nations.
The principles summed up by
President Wilson under four heads
are so vague that hardly any power
need oppose them, but the speeches
of Lloyd George and Asquith have re-
vealed anew that the Entente itself
still unable to find the courage for
peace by a compromises agreement.
The view Of peace by understand
ing, as expressed by Mr.. Wilson, is
even today shared by the Reichstag
majority, which would today be still
stronger in its attitude If not only
President Wilson, but the other En-
tente statesmen would also show
their practical readiness for such q
peace"
The KOelnische VolksZeitung says:
president Wilson may have the
chance of bringing about peace
conference If he induces his Allies to
take a more moderate mood"
Vatican Sees Start Toward Peace.

tary of state. discussed President
Wilson's latest message to Congress.
after which Cardinal Gasparri ap.
peared to be satisfied about the effect

have said that the message gives rea-
son IT, hope that it may lead to pour
parlers and prevent further offensive.
He is said to have added that the
message perhaps was starting point
for negotiations for just and last
ing peace.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This Is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out Of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-woyklnen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago. rheu-
matism or govt. The urine Is often
cloudy, full Of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night:
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the 1nvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises 'Washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 6Oc.
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric' Is
q most powerful agent in dissolvlng
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial package.

been the most amazing Of the war.
The allies are advancing victoriously
on practically every front. During
the week they have taken prisoners
far in excess of 100000, of whom
nearly 10000 were captured in the
last three days on the Western front

also taken more than 900 guns.
North of the Aisne the French pur-
suit continues. On the Champagne

the heights of Bellevue.
In Serbia the rout of the Bulgari-
ans is complete. The Serbians are
racing for Uskub to cut off the enc
my's communication, while on the
fanks, British, French, Greek and
Italian troops are advancing as fast
as possible. The number of prison.

nous.
In Siberia the japanese have made
great progress in capturing points of

New England.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Although
treasury department officials today
made no attempt to total the sales
on the opening day of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign yesterday,
all indications were that the loan had
got away to good start.
Only one district committee, New
York had attempted to estimate it's
sales Saturday, placing them at
s2O0,O0O,O0o or one-eighth of the
s1;SOO,OOO,OOO allotted the New
York federal reserve district.
From Atlanta, Ca, where sales to.
the third loan Jagged somewhat,
came word today that the campaign
had started "in great shape" with
better selling organization to push
the work than was had for the last
loan.
In San Francisco district many
cities already were claiming honor
flags for having oversubscribed their
quotas.
"The spirit of the loan," said a
treasury department statement, "is
exemplifed in telegram from Wor-
cester, Mass, a city which achieved
it's quota yesterday. An elaborate
voting plan for putting over the
city's quota had been worked out
there, but it had to be abandoned at
the last minute because of an cpl
demic of Spanish influenza. Without
a moments hesitation the sales COM
mittee adopted new plan of selling
and S15,0O0,00O was raised.
"Other kilograms from New Eng
land indicated that the spirit of Wor-
cester is that of the entire North
east. Up there they are calling this
the "Fighting Fourth" loan and they
are going to fight it through, regard
less of Spanish flu"
