.SERb ENJOYS PAY TRIBUTE
Place Wreath on Tomb of Washington
at Mt. Vernon.

Washington, Jan. I'm the pres
,ence of a gathering representative
of official Washington, DR.. Milenko
Vesnitch, head of the Serbian war
mission to the United States, laid a
wreath on the tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon, with a tribute to the
patriarch of liberty from "a small
and hardly known nation"
Dr. Vesnitch spoke of his peoples
love of liberty.
"This, alas ehe said, has brought
us misfortune. Autocrats and despots
surrounding us, Teutons and Turks,
have rushed upon us and have
crucified Serbia, nay more, our whole
race.
I'VE have believed in the moral and
political gospel which Washington
preached and which he confirmed by
his life. We shall arise again. The
argonauts whom General Pershing
commands in Europe will complete
the work of our liberty"

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms Of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, SO
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heaL
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat

Lloyd Georges Speech Looked On
AS Final Answer to Teutons.
In Effect Address Is Rejection of
German Terms AS Given BY
Central Powers.

London, Jan. Tn an epoch-making
speech delivered at what he declared
to be the most critical hour of the war,
David Lloyd George, the British pre-
mier, spurned as insincere Germany's
peace proposals and laid Great Brit
aims war aims before. the world both
more broadly and more specifically
than they have ever before been form
ulated.
The premier's address is looked on
as the final reply of the Allies to
the recent German proposals and
undoubtedly is the result of the re-
cent conference between Mr.. Lloyd
George and Premier Georges Clemen-
ceau of France The premier was
addressing the trades unions.
A just and lasting peace is the
British aim, the premier reiterated,
and this, he declared, must be
achieved by the establishment of
tle sanctity of treaties, territorial
adjustments on the basis of self-de-
termination and the limitation of arm
aments carried out by the creation
of an international organization.
Great Britain is prepared to make
even greater sacrifices in achieving
these ends, he declared.
In effect the speech was reply
to and a rejection of the German
peace terms as voiced by the spokes-
man for the Central powers at the
Brest-Litovsk conference. No lasting
peace is possible on this basis, he
asserted, emphasizing the point that
mere lip service to the formulas of
no annexations, no indemnities, and
self-determination will not suffice.

Mexican Councillor Makes Statement
In New York Speech.

New York, Jan. War sooner or

countries if the United States fails to
cooperate with Mexico in adjust

Mount Morris theater, Harlem.
The speaker, who acted as high
councillor in the successive cabinets
of President Diaz, Madero and Huer-

"This is the greatest international
issue and the most serious problem
facing the United States today, aside
from it's war with Germany. Upon the
manner in which America deals with
Mexico will depend the future of her
trade with all Latin-America."

SNOWSTORM TIES UP TRAFFIC
One of Most Severe to Visit Central
West in Years.

Chicago, Jan. 7-Chicago is the
center of one of the most severe
snowstorms that has visited the
Central West in years, according to
local weather forecasters.
Railroads suffered severely, traffic
on some of the liners being practical
ly at a standstill and fears were ex-
pressed that should the storm con-
tinue a number of places in the area
affected would suffer for want of fuel.
Temperatures throughout the Central
West were moderate, but a strong
wind whirled the snow into drifts.
In and around Chicago almost a
foot of snow fell between 3 o'clock
in the morning and s p. M. Driven
by a 35-mile gale the snow piled in
drifts of six and more feet. Service
on many of the cross-town surface
lines was stopped. Elevated railroad
lines suffered the least from the
storm. The wind swept the snow from
the elevated structures, and the COM
panies managed to maintain fairly
regular service.

GUATEMALA IS DOOMED
Another Earthquake Completes
Destruction of City.
Immediate Relief For People Being
Rushed From Panama
Canal Zone.

Washington, Jan. 7.-As the result
of new earthquake shocks, which have
followed those late in December, the
destruction of Guatemala City is now
complete.
Messages received by the State de-
partment said loss of life in these
last shocks is estimated to be great
er than that resulting from the ear
1ier shocks.
A dispatch from the Central Am
erican Telegraph company said:
"Our manager at San Jose, Guate-
mala, telegraphs the following:
What is left of Guatemala City is
now wiped out Shocks at 1898 p.
IN. fourth, finished everything.
Steam is coming up in the streets.
Cathedral fallen. Las Vacas bridge
to Barritas now down. Slides on
railroad, San Jose and city. No
trains reported. Further 800 killed. :"
This would bring the total num-
Der of deaths in the city in the Sc
ries of disasters up to 1890.
A cablegram from the American
consul at Guatemala City, said a new
series of earthquakes began the
night before and were continuing
when the dispatch was filed. The
weather was cold. A second dispatch,
filed later that day, reported shocks
still in progress, but gave no details.
Immediate relief for the people will
be rushed from the Panama zone.

Stockholm, Jan. THE Germans
operating east of Pittsburgh according
negotiations between the Central pow
ers and the BoIsheviki government n
Russia.
From the meager advices received,
it appears the rock upon which a cCn-
tinuation of the pourparlers split was
the demand of the Russians that the
conference be resumed at Stockholm,
instead of at Brest-Litovsk.
Trotzky Is Insistent.
Dissatisfied with the proposals for
peace made by the Teutonic allies be-
fore the recess of the Brest-Litovsk
conference, Leon Trotzky, the Bols1e-
Wiki foreign minister, had been insist
ent on the deliberations being held on
neutral soil instead of at the German
eastern headquarters. The Germans,
however, had been equally as firm in
their determination not to treat with
the Russians at any other place than
Brest-Litovsk.
The decision of the Germans to dis
continue the sittings was arrived at
during a crown council held in Berlin
which was attended by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Won Luz
dendorf, first quartermaster general
Fear Allies Influence.
A belated dispatch from Berlin gives
as the reason for the refusal of the
Germans to consider Stockholm as a
place where peace might be advan-
tageously discussed the fear that Brit
ish, French and American diplomats
in the Swedish capital would by in
trigue render all endeavors futile.
Dispatches from Berlin indicate that
although the Reichstag parties in the
main are supporting the government,
considerable unrest is prevalent and
strong efforts are being made to hold
the Socialists in line. The Socialist
organ in Berlin characterized the situa-
ton as extraordinarily serious.
