u. S. Abandons War, Is
Startling Announcement
of Berlin Newspaper

The following astonishing cable
gram, showing the limits to which
even the German official press will
go in efforts to deceive the people of
the empire, was received by The AS
sociated Press:
Amsterdam, Jan. 13.-The semioffi-
cial Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zei-
tung, of Berlin, publishes a report
from Washington that the United
States is sending 90.000,000 bushels of
wheat to Europe, and adds:
This is a heavy blow to the en-
tente cause. Shorn of rhetorical
flourish, it means that America has
decided not to appear on the Euro
peon battlefield for an indefinite time
What moved President Wilson to this
change of front, which is the most
important development in American
war policy?"
The newspaper attributes it partly
to the achievement of the German
submarines partly to internal causes
and especially to growing pacifism
and friction with Japan. 1t continues
The last hope of the entente has
gone. 1t will inevitably cause deep
depression in France. whose bread ra-
tion may be increased slightly, but
for whose war-weary troops there is
now no hope of relief"

AT ONCE! STOPS
STOMACH MISERY
And INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick,
sour, gassy Stomachs
feel fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour,
gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs.
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin helps neutralize the ex-
cessive acids in the stomach so your
food won't sour and upset you.
There never was anything so safely
quick, so certainly effective. No diff
ference how badly your stomach is
upset you usually get happy relief
in five minutes, but what pleases you
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so you can eat your favorite
foods without fear.
sometim es-they are slow, but not
sure. "Pape's Diapepsin" is positive
in neutralizing the acidity, so the
misery won't come back very
quickly.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin' comes in contact
with the stomach-distress just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no belching, no eructations of
undigested food, your head clears
and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsfn
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or
any stomach disorder due to acid
fermentation.

With only one bid for ash collec-
lions the firm proposal to collect the
waste for $1,000 a month it is likely
Commissioner Hassler will ask Coun-
Gil for permission to readvertise for

would cost the city $4,000 a year
for ash collections plus $4,000 a
year for garbage collections, or a to-
tai of $1OS,000 for the removal of
all wastes. EX-Commissioner Morgen-
thaler estimated it would cost the
city about 100000 for municipal ash
collections or $4,000 less than under
the bid received on SATURDAY..
Should Council decide to have
commissioners Hassler ask for new
