PRESIDENT WILSON
PROPHET STATESMAN
Head of English Free Church
Likens American Chief Ex-
ecutive to Gladstone.

New York. Oct. 30--The Rev DR. A.
T. Cutlery, president of the National
Council of Free Churches of England and
Wales, who is visiting this country, said
yesterday, after returning from W aShlng-
ton where he was received by President
Wilson, that there was no real dlfiercnce
between the peace views OF President
Wilson and those of David Lloyd George
He told the President that i'll the view
of the Protestant churches OF England
the head of the American nation was y
prophet-st atesman who maintains SUI
preme those moral aims which are surest
pledge of victory.
DR. Cutlery was commissioned by the
National Council of Free Churches,
which comprises all Christian churches
in England except the Catholic and An
rlican. TO convey 10 President Wilson
the message that they adhered TO the
broad principles he had proclaimed for
the settlement after the war. After his
interview DIR. Cutlery said he was con-
WINGED that there was no danger of dis
agreement between the nited States
and England and her allies over inn
portant decisions on the question of
peace
Tho Free Church Council said DR.
Cutlery. holds President Wilson in the
highest regard, as voicinG the moral
convictions of the free peoples on the
war He represents a nation which more
than all others has least TO gain In tho
material and imperial sense from this
war No man can charge America with
any selfish purpose. which tact gives
the representative of America great
weight in the councils of the Grand
Alliance
I'VE in Europe, especially in Britain,
do not pledge ourselves in detail 10 the
fourteen points of President Wilson 5

fair to hun TO discuss them as details
in program. They are rather steps
toward an ideal goal and we are sure
that President Wilson, with his great
wisdom, will be prepared III tho future.
as he has been in the past. 70 accept
notifications as circumstances may de-
mand.
While | have no authority TO say that
these terms would meet with the APP
proyal Of President Wilson. | am con
WINGED that they are contained within
the scope Of his fourteen points Tho
peoples of Europe rely on America and
lis great President 20 cooperate on tins
Just settlement before peace can be ar
ranged.
England regards President Wilson as
prophet statesman in the sense that
with unrivaled clearnesS, he has pierced
beneath the superficial events and inter
ests to the great faiths which alone give
the war sanction and Interpretation. We
regard him as being in America what
VIC used to regard Gladstone as being IN
England, and as VIC today regard Lloyd
George, a great free churchman and

BETTER THAN CALOME[
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the substi.
tute for calomei - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver g
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel-
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeths
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t IS best not
to take calomel. but to ler Qr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
dsordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loPgy" and
heavy" Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they ''perk up the spirits
