There Is great danger in using

drugs do have a temporary effect on
the cough, but they do not have
lasting effect. and soon the cough
comes back worse than ever. Doctors

UNvARN|SHED TRUTH
ON WAR CONDITIONS
Representative Tlnkham Tells
What He Saw and Heard
on Fighting Fronts.
WANTS U. S. TO WAKE UP

The unvarnished truth, scraped clean
of any camoufage, as to just what the
war conditions are on the battlefronts
of Europe and the feeling that exists in
the councils Of the war directors was
told today in the House by Representa-
tive George Holden Tinkham Of Massa-
chusetts, with the hope that it will
awaken the War and Navy department

realization that big action must be
taken now to hold the world "safe for

round the world" the first American shot
against Austria: still suffering from
physical injuries received by being thrown
down a mountain side from an automo-
bile while watching an artillery duel on

comes back to Washington with f1rst-hand
and important information concerning
conditions OVERSEAS
Conditions and What q. s. Must Do.
He tells not only what conditions are:
but what must be done by the United
States to meet these conditions Much OF
what he gathered at the battlefronts and
In conferences with the war leaders OF the
nations making common cause with the
United States against Germany is OF such
a nature that it must be withheld for the
information Of the military authorities OF
the government
Representative Tinkham while at the
front found himself one day In no man
land" with the Austrians and the Italians
on the Piave river exchanging hostilities
over his head. He has lunched in house
on the very battlefront which trembfed as
shrapnel burst about It He has been
under fire many times
Injured Watching Engagement.
He pulled string firing large 49,
millimeter gun. which sent a shot hurting
across the Piave to the Austrian position
at COMO. He was injured while watching
line at Monta Grappa- Italy, on Novem-
ber IL and had his ear injured, his arm
and shoulder badly bruised and a finger
broken. He was wheeled several miles
down the mountain In an ammunition
wagon to get surgical treatment.
Although he has been completely
run down by these experiences and
been forced to remain In his home
since his return to this country un-

Tinkham makes little of his personal
hardships He takes pride in the fact
that he has secured Information Of
value to the military authorities and is
pleased that he has recovered suffi-

what conditions are and what should
be done at once to relieve them. Rep
resentative Tinkham said:
TT seems to be my duty to address
the House upon my return from war
torn Europe and to submit to it some
conclusions and impart information
which hope will be Of some value.

Truth Is Vital to America.

America wants the truth. and It is
vital that America have the truth. The
picture of the military situation in
Europe as reproduced in America Is
often not true, particularly in relation
to Americas military efforts there and
the conditions in Germany. The truth
in Europe. where America Is to play
her great and victorious part, Is that
today the central powers have achieved
all OF their greater military objectives,
with the exception of the taking of
Paris. tho attempt to take verdun be-
ing part Of that purpose.
"Autocracy In Europe has democracy
by the throat and Is stranglinE II.
The reasons for the success of
autocracy are that autocracy is or
ganized. deals more in deeds than in
rhetoric, and modern autocracies are
masculine and not feminine De-
mocracy to be successful in this the
greatest struggle in arms Of all times
must organize better than autocracy,
drop rhetoric for deeds and become
