FOUR DIPLOMACY
BEST, NEWSPAPER
IN LONDON SAYS
Wilson Favored by Daily News
in Contrast With Versailles
Statement - Comment on
President by Other Editors

LONDON, Feb. eff anything is
needed to emphasize the diplomatic wis
dom of President wilson's speech, the
Daily News says, it would be supplied
bv a contrast between the principles
laid down in Washington and the prin-
ciples laid down in Versailles. 1t adds;
From the bankrupt craftsmanship of
the allied conference has emerged what
is in effect a reassertion of the knockout
blow doctrine. No declaration of war
aims is formulated; no distinction be-
tween the speeches of Won Hertl1ng and
Czernin is recognized.
"The KEYNOTE of the presidents speech
is the policy of the open door, peace is
waiting as soon as the central powers
are ready. Count Won Hertling having
balkgd at the presidents fourteen deft-
mite proposals, Mr.. Wilson goes back
to the first principles and substitutes
four fundamental propositions which the
chancellor can repudiate only at the cost
of writing himself down a brigand. The
door still stands open.
eve are accustomed to look to Wash
ington alone for any constructive con-
tribution to the diplomacy of the alli-
ance. Mondays address to congress
will do much to confirm this habit"
HertIing and Count Czernin were col
lusive performance between the two
statesmen intended to drive a wedge be-
tween the allies rather than to secure
peace, Earl Curzon, government leader
in the house of lords declared in de-
bate today in the house of lords on the
address to the throne. No attempt, he
said, had been made to meet the mimi
mum demands of the allies. Earl Curzon
added;
THE most CRITICAL times that have
ever confronted this country are in front
OF US. But 1 do not think the position
is at all dangerous and our military ad-
visers do not thing it is. At the same
time we shall have to put every ounce of
effort into the common cause. If we do
that 1 am confident we will win and thus
save civilization"

WILLIAM GOODE
PRAISES MR.. HOOVER
Tells of Results of Food Con-
Servation by American
People

LONDON, Feb 13.-Sir William
Goode, who occupies the important post
of Liason officer between the British
food ministry and the United States food
administration, discussed the present
food situation in an address today to
the London Rotary club.
Few people," said Sir William, have
yet grasped the fundamental fact that
Great Britain still relies on the United
States and Canada for 65 per cent of
her essential foodstuffs. Unless we can
get this food. or nearly all of it, we
shall peter out.
What 1 want you to realize is the
amazing way in which the energies an
sentiments of the American people have
been harnessed to great national move
ment of organized self-sacrifice, so that
the allies can have food enough to car
ry on.
THE cynic will tell you" he said,
that it is ridiculous to imagine that
American people. living in the midst
of plenty, will make such sacrifices
as these for the sake of their allies
thousands of miles away. The cynic
will relegate President Wilson and Her
bert c. Hoover to the category of we'll
meaning idealists But these voluntary
measures can be tested by results.
Early last month we received from
Mr.. Hoover a cablegram saying he found
thmat as a result of the American con-
servatoin campaign he had 150,000,000
pounds of bacon and 25,00O,000 pounds
of frozen meat more than the British
representatives in the United States
had estimated as likely to be available.
His offer was so unexpected that we
had to hustle to get the finance and
shipping for this windfall. Later on it
turned out that the amount of frozen
meat available was thousands of tons
above the Hoover estimate. Except
for the hold-up of shipping in American
ports due to congestion on the rail-
ways and billiards. our bacon and meat
shortage would long since have been
eased by these shipments which repre-
sent only a small percentage of the to-
tai sacrifices of the American people.
ut is lucky for us that man like
Mr.. Hoover is at the helm of the allied
food supply and that behind him is a
people willing to deny themselves so we
may live to fight"

Food Conservation
Overdone by Hubby,
Asserts Mrs. Sonells

Food conservation may be carried to
extremes, declares Mrs. Reba Sorrells
in her petition for divorce from ]. E
Sorrells. filed Wednesday in the Fulton
superior court by Attorneys Carl N.
and Frank Guess.
Soon after the couple married in 1916
she alleges. Sorrells began to display
an extremely jealous disposition and up
braided her when she would even cas-
ually address gentlemen friends. He
sold the cabinet organ she had bought
with her own earnings, Mrs. Sorrells
alleges, and finally disposed of her
gold watch, using the money to deci
himself in fine raiment.
He even went Mr.. Hoover one better
she asserts, and furnished no food what
ever for the Sorrell domicile. This
extreme view of the food conservation
edict was bad enough, she declares, but
when ne began to flourish a razor and
make threats against her life, she de-
cided to seek legal relief.

turn back provides a handy catchword,"
said the Evening Standard. Both
trenches of AngIo-Saxondom are in the
struggle against the system that is
every negation of ideas common to the
race"
Let parliament today compare Will
sons speech with the official report of
the Versailles conference" declared
the Star. Let is reconcile them If 1t
can. We can't Wilson speaks the Ian
guage of democracy. The Versailles re-
port is written in the jorgon of old
secret diplomacy"
The Westminster Gazette said:
'It remains to be seen whether Count
Czernin will be able to maintain his
attitude or whether we have to deal
with enemies whose standpoint is still
accurately represented by the kaiser
who is resolved to make the world SUD-
nit to a victorious German army.
The Globe doubted very much
whether Chancellor Hertling's masters
will consent to any peace testing these
firm foundations which offer no
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to themselves.

Listen to me! Take no more sick

or constipated. Don't lose a days

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that aw-
full nausea and cramping. If you are
sluggish and "all knocked out" if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach

thousand is because those towns have
their own wells and are not put to as
much an expense to get the gas to
the consumer as many other cities,
where the rates were set higher. y
The bulletin issued by the fuel ad-
ministration asserts that more gas than
is being, used-or approximately 500
billion cubic feet-is being wasted an
ually owing to the current methods
of production, transmission and use.
On the basis of what it would cost to
replace this fuel the loss amounts to
100000 per year. Moreover. It is
asserted. this appalling record OF waste
dates back to the very beginning of
the natural gas industry. The manu-
featured gas now in use, it is said,
amounts to only about 25 per cent of

That the recent order issued by
Judge Wilbur +. Booth of the United
States district court authorizing the
distributing company in topeka TO
raise the price of natural gas TO eishty
cents per thousand cubic feet Will not
yet give the companies sufficient re-
turns to enable them to make repairs
that will eliminate leakage and result
in greater gas pressure, is the ex-
pressed opinion Of T. F. Doran, at
torney for the gas company. HOW
ever, he believes it Will be OF materlal
assistance, in view of the fact that
government authorities have been IN
Topeka for the last three weeks max
ing investigations and repairing leaks.
Doran contends that there is not
enough natural gas in Kansas Tor
heating purposes and that the sooner
people awake to this fact the sooner
there will be sufficient gas for lighting
and cooking purposes. He also stated
that people must learn to conserve
gas and added that the government
proposes to establish local school or
instruction that these ends may lie at
tanned. These schools are being es-
tablished thruout the country, Doran
stated, by the bureau of natural gas
conservation of the United States fuel
administration.
A pamphlet issued by this depart
ment makes the startling statement
