E Eclipse of the Sun

Last Saturday the moon came
squarely between the earth and the
sun for time at least shutting out
that luminary. The time and place
for this occurrence was duly fore
cast by astronomers and the event
was in accordance with previously
announced schedules.
Two brothers in 1868, or there
abouts, on the banks of Rock river
in Illinois, viewed a total eclipse
Of the sun through smoked glass
prepared for the occasion. 1t was
a great event in their lives and to
see the chickens get fooled, as they
in quiet dignity retired to their
perches, was a fact that made
deep impression on the minds Of
these youthful astronomers.
These two brothers met last Sat-
urday near Moscow and again took
up the studies of the eclipse which
they had abandoned during the
past fifty years. The results were
about the same as on the former
occasion with this difference, the
chickens, remembering their
previous discontinue, refused to
be fooled. They remained on the
job until the crisis was passed.

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney
Pills help them keep young. Here's

in September, 1915: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
years and have never found another
medicine that has done me so much
good My back has always given me
the most trouble; it would ache and
be stiff and sore My kidneys acted
irregularly and l had dizzy spells and
headaches. Every time l have had
those spells have used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Quigley's Drug
Store, and they have never failed to
relieve me. There is nothing better
for the kidneys"

ney Pills keeps my kidneys in good

are certainly not to be estimated
lightly.
The Austro- Hungarian government
is aware that after the deep-reaching
commissions which have been caused in
the life Of the peoples by the devas-
tating effects OF the world war 1t will
not be possible to re-establish order in
the tottering world at a single stroke
For "AlI the Peoples"
THE path that leads to the restora-
ton Of peaceful relations between the
people is cut by hatred and embitter-
ment. 1t is toilsome and wearisOme,
yet 1t is our duty to tread this path
the path Of negotiations-and IL there
are still such responsible factors as
desire to overcome the opponent by
military means and to force the will
of victory upon him, there can, never
theless, no longer be doubt that this
aim, even assuming that it Is attain
able, would first necessitate a further
sanguinary and protracted struggle.
But even a later victorious peace
will no longer be able to make good
the consequences of such a policy

all the states and peoples Of Europe.
The only peace which could righteous
ly adjust the still divergent concep-
tions Of the opponents would be a
peace desired by all the peoples.

garian government now again comes
forward with a suggestion that the
object Of bringing about direct dis

''The earnest will to peace Of wide
classes Of the population of all the
states who are jointly suffering
through the war-the indisputable re-
approachment in individual contro-
versial questions-as we'll as the more
concilliatory atmosphere that Is gen.

government to give certain guaran-

OF peace, which also takes accounts
OF past experiences in this domain,

possibility of success.
Asks Pope to Take Hand.
THE Austro-H Hungarian government
has, therefore, resolved to point out
to all the belligerents, friend and foe,
a path considered practicable by it to
propose to them jointly to examine in
a free exchange of views whether
those prerequisites exist which would
make the speedy Inauguration of peace
negotiations appear promising,
"To this end the Austro-Hungarian
government has today invited the gov
ernments of all the belligerent states
to a confidential and unbinding discus
sion at a neutral meeting place. and
has addressed to them a note drawn
up in this sense.

bringing about that decision by arms
which has been vainly striven after
by both sides in four years filled with
enormous sacrifices, sufferings and ex-
ertions.
In what manner, however, can the
way be paved for an understanding
and an understanding finally attained :?
Is there any serious prospect what
ever OF reaching this aim by continu-
Ing the discussion of peace problems
In the way hitherto followed?
Answers In Negative.
We have not the courage to an
sWer the latter question in the affirm
alive. The discussion from one pub
TIC tribute to another as has hitherto
taken place between statesmen of the
various countries was really only a
series of monologues. 1t lacked, above
everything, directness. Speech and
counter speech did not fit into each
other. The speakers spoke over one
anothers heads.
"On the other hand was the pub
licity and the ground of these discus
sions, which robbed them of the pos
sibility of fruitful progress. In all
public statements Of this nature, a
form of eloquence is used which reck-
ons with the effect at great distances
and on the masses. Consciously or
unconsciOusly, however, one thereby
increases the distance of the oppon-
ent's conception, produces misunder-
standings which take root and are not
removed, and makes the frank ex-
change of ideas more difficult Every
pronouncement of leading statesmen
is, directly after its delivery, and be-
fore the authoritative quarters of the
opposite side can reply to it, made the
subject of passionate or exaggerated
discussion by irresponsible elements.
But anxiety lest they should en-
danger the interests of their arms by
unfavorablely influencing feeling at
home lest they prematurely betray
their own ultimate intentions, also
causes the responsible statesmen
themselves to strike higher tone,
and stubbOrnly to adhere to extreme
standpoints.
Favors Another Method.
eff, therefore, an attempt is made to
see whether the basis exists for an un-
derstanding calculated to deliver Eu-
rope from the catastrophe of the sui
cidal continuation Of the struggle, then
in any case, another method should
be chosen which renders possible Il

conferences of the statesmen Of the

monarchs.

Likewise King Ferdinand OF Bulga-

Turkish grand vizier, also has been
lowering around Vienna and Budapest
and giving out interviews declaring
that a military victory by either side
is now impossible.
1t has been thought the Austrian
emperor intended to ask for mediation
either by the king OF Spain or the
queen of Holland, but he has gone no
farther than without disclosing any
terms to ask for a non-binding discus
