WRITES FROM FRANCE.

Captain Earl III. MarcNm, who left
his practice as a physician soon after
war was declared to enter the service,
in an interesting letter to his mother,
Mrs. j. r.. MarcnEn, tells sof the his
experiences during the last few weeks
of the war, and also regarding the
work the American soldiers are now
doing, 4 His letter, In part, is as
follows:
"As to our work before the war
was over, we were located in the
.Argonne forest, about twenty 1--we
miles southwest of verdun. / was
at verdun once, and It certainly was
Interesting. Part Of the town was
entirely destroyed and part had hard
~ been touched, as 1t was protected
by hills. The cathedral had been
hit "a few times, but could be re-
paired within,A short time, II Amer
leans had lit. The French will prob
ably take a hundred years to do it,
and In the meantime charge admis-
sion to see 1t, and sell two other
cathedrals as souvenirs. We took part
in the last two drives, and they kept
us good and busy most OF the time,
as practically every case meant an
operation. During the rushes we
kept nine operating tables going day
and night. The armistice terms were
pretty hard for the Germans to swal-
low, but fgthink the peace terms will
be harder" ~ sS

oriain Z Of Meteorites.

In contradistinction to the thet b
of the earth-origin OF meteorites, It
has been argued that they may hasse
been shot out of the giant volcanoes
of the moon in long past ages. but
there are some very serious difficulties
In the. way Of this hypothesis. Mr..
Chamberlain, the inventor Of the
planetesirnal theory Of the origin Of
rolar systems, has the interesting sug-
gestion that meteorites may be the
fragments of bodies fplanets) broken
up by the passage Of some immense
mass near enough to produce disrup-
tive tidal strains. To sum up. the real
origin OF meteorites remains to be dis.
covered.

The Many Mysteries Of
Nature
BY t. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. in one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and Id the other you pet a flower tof
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get upisin ia dangerous, habit-f forming
drug, or YOU can plant q rhubarb seed and
get something TINT helps constipation.
: No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries OF Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ IN each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for swomen,s diseases. He
learned it al through treating thousands
Of cases. The result of his studies was
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing down pains, periodical if
regularities, pelvic intianfnations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages OF life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made OF lady's slipper root,
black cohoBh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that In DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting q safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it. .,.4ss. @ ID

CONFERENCE MAY LIMIT
 AIRCRAFT AND U-b0ATS

Washington, Dec. 20.-Army and navq officials here believe that the uses to which two weapons which figured so largely in the world con- and aircraft-may be put in future wars will be sharp ly limited by international agree ment evolved at the peace conference
 These questions have been under discussion in military circles since the end of hostitlities but there is no definite information as to what suggestions the American peace con- missioners will present to the con- ference. There appears to be sub- stantial agreement among officers, however, that future operations of submarines be confined strictly against warships.
 As to aircraft-officers say that in seeking to make certain that civ1l populations are never again subject ed to such Outrages as committed by German airmen, it may we'll be that the flying army hereafter will be restricted exclusively to observa- tion work and to such attacks upon troops as machine gun or similar armament would permit.
 The submarine problem apparently attracts the greatest attention. There is reason to believe that the Navy General Board would not favor pro- posals that use of submarines in any form be abandoned. Many officers, however, favor prohibition of the use of these craft against any but war shaps, as that would mean the end of submarine blockades and they re- gard this as one of the main parti- cular elements to be dealt with. in seas.
 Another question with which the any discussion of the freedom of the peace conference is expected to deal very emphatically is the use of poi sonous or other gases.

ACQUITTED OF MURDER

Elkton, Md. ; Dec. 20.-Charles Hal wardt Johnson, was acquitted by a jury tonight on the charge of murder ing Major William R. King, of Brook lyn, N. Y., supervising engineer of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
 The Jury was out two hours and fifteen minutes. Johnson shot Major King in the Johnson home on the night og July 7th, last. Cousel for the defense contended that the shoot ing followed a struggle in which Johnson claimed that the army of ficer had him down on his knees with his hands on Johnson's throat
 Last year when the governments proving ground was established near Aberdeen, Johnson obtained a posi- tion in the accountig departmet. He became acquainted with Major King 'wko subsequently, rented room at the Johnson home. During the ear k part of July( last, trouble be- tween the two men developed, and on the night of the shooting John son ordered the Major to leave, and the altercation followed
