We have no fear that the central pow

dominant in Germany
There should be no consideration
of a peace which Is but an armed
truce, in which our Teuton enemies
will but prepare for a fresh onslaught
upon small nations Ike Belgium, for
renewed and more terrible atrocities
upon soldiers and civilians. for anoth-
er campaign OF frightfulness upon
land and sea. To end the war with
cut subduing the military autocracy
of Germany would mean that the peo-

SUIT FOR LIBEL
Son of Former Ambassador in
Fist Fight Over Wife, Ameri.
can Woman. Divorced

AMSTERDAM. April 4.-Beriin so.
ciety is much stirred by suit for libel
against Count Christian Gunther Won
Bernstorff, son of the former German
ambassador to the United States, by
Baron Walter Won Radneck, member
of an old Prussian military family,
who lived for many years in England.
Count Gunthers wife. who was Mrs.
Marguerite Vivian Burton Thomson
of Burlington. n. j., and a number OF
others. including the wife Of one of
the generals commanding an army on
the western front, are also defendants
in the suit.
Divorced She WEEDS Bernstorff
Baron Won Radeck and his wife, &C
cording 70 the Rheinsche Westfalische
7eitung. were discovered in OCTOBER,
-917. she subsequently married Count
Won Bernstorff. The result was a
physical encounter between the two
men in which Won Radeck tore the
epaulets from Won Bernstorff's uniform.
Thereupon Won Bernstorff declared
that Won Radeck was not capable of
giving satisfaction as gentleman
and he charged Won Radeck with spy
ing for England.
This resulted in Won Radeck leaving
the army and Won Bernstorff being
punished by a military court. The
baron now charges that Won Bernstorff
with II others caused his divorce and
smissal from the army by circulat-
ing untruthful reports.
Count Christian Won Bernstorff
were married last December s. He is
IS years old. He entered the German
diplomatic service shortly after the
outbreak of the war.
First Husband an American
Countess Won Bernstorff is about 80
years old. Her first husband was an
American, from whom she was d.
vorced. after which she married Baron
Won Radeck She was born in Strouds-
burg. Pa, OF English parents and was
adopted by E. j. Thomson of Burling-
ton, y. J.
After her first marriage she met
Baron Won Radeck in New York and
they were married in London in 1911.
Two years later she filed suit for di-
vorce on the grounds of cruelty and
the case dragged on until last Octo-
Der. Four years ago the countess fell
heir to an estate of 100000 from her
foster-mother.
Baron Won Radeck was formerly an
attache of the German embassy in Lon
don. His father was a general in the

Chiropractor Says Experiments
With Serums Were Fatal

Experiments with serums and anti

responsible for the high mortality rate

dent of the. Federation of ChirOpractOrs

Doctor Ross Contended that the human
system. when afflicted with influenza. is
naturally full Of toXemia poison. and
that when serums are injected into the
blood in addition, the effect often is
fatal
Chiropractofs hold that disease orig
