MEDIATION IN WAR
Roman PopeS, From Earliest
Time Deemed 1t Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, wher
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time Of D
popes, as the religious heads of the
Catholic church, have considered IL
their task to intercede as medlators
In temporal disputes, observes a his
tOrian. Following are a few instances :
As early as 400. when Alarlc l de
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favorable to
him, s. Innocent 1 went with an en-
bassy Of the Romans to Emperor Hon
erius, at Ravenna, to try, IL possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths.
but failed In his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory I, who played the same part
on the occasion of the invasion Of Italy
by the Lombards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardlan queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated n favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the venerable
bishop of Rome, Leo THE first Of the
great popes-by a personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. He
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attila ut Minclo, In the vicinity OF
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
ise that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of
Rome. When In 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scOurge Of God" Leo's interces-
sion obtained a promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1912 occupied the
holy see. was as unsuccessful us a
mediator as the present supreme pom
tiff. At that time Charles Nv of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip VI, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward III Of Eng
land. Benedict MI, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hOstilities lasting, with some
interruptions, for n hundred years.
The pOpes medlated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where 1t was important to unite them
In the common cause Of Christianity
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory (1271-1276), for the
sake Of a crusade against the Turks,
worked indefatigably upon n recon-
ciliation Of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III (1534-1540),
nearly three centuries later, tried to
prevent n val between Spain and
France. Clement TX aided Venice
against the Turks by medlating the
peace between Louis XIV and Spain,

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains Of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al.
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try It. DR.. Kilmer & Co,
B~inghamton, N. Y, offer to send a sam.
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
Of ten cents, to every sufferer who re.
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi-
um and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this

The course of the German armies
in France pa marked nth the same
brutdlities that characterized the oc-
cuPdtioR Of Belgium. Ample proof
has been produced that the entire
proceedings were a deliberate part
Of the calculated system of "fright-
fitness"
In France the German system OF
forced labor and deportations, with its
horrors, was the same as in Belgium.
In this article is shown the real lden-
tity of German practice In both occu-
pied regions. This can be. done from
the official documents and from a sum-
mary by Ambassador Gerard. The
narrowing details may be gathered
from the scores Of dispositions which
accompany the note addressed by the
French government to the governments
Of the neutral powers July 25, 1915.
These are on file in the state depart
ment, and have also been translated,
along with the official documents, In

ITO reduce the misery, the German
authorities have recently asked for
volunteers to 70 and work in the

success that was expected.
"In consequence Of this the lnhab-
itants will be deported by order and
removed into the country. Persons
deported will be sent to the interior
Of the occupied territory in France, far
behind the front, where they will be
employed in agricultural labor, and
not on any military work whatever.
By this measure they will be given
the opportunity Of providing better
for their subsistence.
"In cas- Of necessity, provisions can
be obtained through the German de-
pots. Every person depOrted will be
allowed to take with him 80 kilo-
grams of baggage (household utensils,
clothes, etc.), which 1t will be well to

What ought you to do? More than half million men are now wait ing for the call of class one to deter mine how many of them will be select ed for actual service in the war zone, yet Civil Service examinations are being held every Tuesday in practi- cally every city in the U. s. in an eff fort to secure enough employees to run the government.

COUCH CALLS MEETING
 OF ADVISORY BOARD

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-H. c. Couch, federal fuel administrator, has called a meeting of the advisory board for Tuesdty, Feb. 19, and of the county chairmen for Wednesday, Feb. 20.
 The advisory board consists of Al Bertig of Paragould, Lyford Horner of Helena, Lee McDowell of Russell vile, o. H. Helbig of Prescott, Jeff Hicks of Pine Bluff, George Firmin of Little Rock, J. A. Buchanan of Texarkana, and c. c. Calvert of Fort Smith.
 There are 63 active county chair men, it having been found unneces- sary to organize the counties not touched at all or only slightly by the railroads.
 We are trying to work out plan for the closer cooperation with the | County Councils of Defense in the campaigns that are to be carried on throughout the year" said H. c. 1 Couch, federal fuel administrator. Arkansas has been shipping a mil lion and half tons of coal annually. A million tons should be and can be added to this by speeding up the pro duction and by the proper conserva- ! ton.
 "The coal dealers should handle wood. The mines should be encour- aged and provided with orders so they may continue to work through the dull months of spring, and all the year. The anthracite mines have been working only five months year, and the soft coal mines about ten.
 | "The use of wood as a fuel should be encouraged wherever possible. Wood should be used at section houses on the railroads. Wood should be used in the engines on log roads, which would alone save 100000 tons annually. If this and other conser- vation plans are adopted, and the production increased 25 per cent, we will have no more trouble such as we have just passed through.

 us. WAR MACHINERY
Republican Senator Pictures Mil itary Preparation as "COnglO- meratiOn of Ambitious and Scattered Agencies"

Washington, Feb. 5-America' war making machinery was pictured as a 'conglomeration of ambitious and scattered agencies" incapable of teamwork, in an address in the Senate today by Senator Wadsworth, Re- publican, member of the military af- fairs committee.
 Without detailing army conditions revealed by the military committed $ war inquiry with which he said the country is now fairly familiar, Sena- tor Wadsworth confined himself largely to an argument for the pro- posed legislation for centralization of war-making agencies.
 President Wilson cannot coordinate the agencies, he said, with long war in prospect, radical steps to unify the nations efforts are necessary.
 "That great things have been done cannot be denied" he declared. "That other great things have been left un- done must be admitted. The credit for the things accomplished can be as- signed to several individuals. The blame for shortcomings ought not to be laid upon any individual. Criti- cism should be dericted against our system, or rather the lack of cohesive l system"
 Accounting difficulties arising through indiscriminate priority orders and competition in the purchase of supplies; delays on account of depart mental fred tape" and the absence of power in the Council of National Defense, the senator continued:
 Mind you, do not attempt to lay the blame upon any one man, or on any one department. I insist that this painful situation has resulted from an utter lacl, of planning-from lack of vision. The plain fact is that we have no agency in our gov ernment today charged with the duty of projecting its vision far into the future, anticipating the emergencies which may arise and laying the plans by which we can meet and overcome them
 "No one in his senses would pro- pose that any other office be created to take away from the President the powers the constitution confides to him. It cannot be done It is un- thinkable. But there is no place in
