AMERICANS MAY STAY
FOR Two YEARS MORE

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 15.-Pro-
lessor Albert Bushnell Hart, Of Har-
ward, famous historian and economist,
expressed belief today that American
troops will De on European soil al
least two a mope. He continued:
I'VE know that the war is over,
the Germans are retiring; be
cause the proudest of modern nations
was obliged to make a solemn promise
that 1t would not poison wells, or rob
the peasants, or blow UP towns from
which it has retired, or leave devil
traps OF kidnap the male population.
Nothin but exhaustion and danger
of national dissolution could ever have
brou~ht the Germans to admit their
misdeeds on the military frontier
Nevertheless. the war Is ended.
Not one of the four central powers
has yet been able to withdraw from
a situation which leaves enemy armies
on their soil; Bulgaria and Turkey
are held by allied troops till their
future al be determined for them
every subject OF Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary is still in a state Of war
with the United States and those OF
them within our bounds are still alien
enemies.
Such a renewal of hostilities Lis
very unlikely because no one of the
central powers has either the men.
the food or the spirit to revive their
recent experience. There cannot be
the slightest Cub that the main
reason for Gern1any's surrender at thii
time is the red spectre Bolshe
.vikism has crept back among the Ger
mar and Austrian prisoners. When
the old governments were overthrown
the immediate power OF keeping order
was dissolved---all those governments
in the last resort have depended on
armies to protect them against their
own people: when the armies frater-
nize. when revolutionary councils take
charge Of affairs, II Is possible for a
minority to ~overwhelm a nation.
Probably not on~e-twentieth OF the
people in Russia consider themselves
a part OF the Bolshevfk state.
Here stands the possibility of a
new conflict in which the allied troops.
and particularly the American troops,
who cannot by any possibility be sus-
pected of n attempt at conquest,
may be called upon In a few weeks to
new the war by preventing civil
wars which would complete the ruin
of the central states and Russia.
Manifestly, 1t Is a duty to civilization
to hold back the floods Of anarchy
till the people of Central Europe shall
have the opportunity to reconstruct
orderl. states"

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment OF a cold. cough. in1u-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk caiomei %purgative. preferably
the nausealess calomel, called Gallo
tabs" This alone Is often sufficient to
break up a severe cold over night. or
cut short an attack OF grippe II pos
sibly prevent pneumonia
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,--that's
all. No salts, 10 nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your on
tire system Is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; price thirty-fve
