La Grippe


rve got the erlp-the dirt La Grippe
Has got your uncle on tho hip.
Has foored him, tied his bones in knots
OF countless Inflammation spots!
There is head that seems to take
A bit from every kind OF ache
I'm riding on . rocky ship, ..z
Piloted by tho dirt La Grippe!
That disposition. once 80 mild,
As gentle . little child.
Now like q raging lion tears,
Pulls at It's cage and roars and swearsl
And round tho bed on which lie
The furniture goes marching by,
Marching and dancing. single nle,
While I attempt. but cannot smile!
High in my ears tho auinine rings
And roars and raves and shouts and sings,
And through my veins the blood careens,
Because La Grippe has spilled the beans!
hirt La Grippe, you torturing maid,
Laying the Borgias in tho shade,
Mistress OF Agonies. I low!
You've got me licked. so leave me now!

Does It mean that the Right can never

No! IT means that the limo of Test

The gage is drawn and the battle near.

Won Hcrtllng in Same Old Role

HE German Chancellor, Count Won Hert-
hns' Ill his latest address to tho Reich
stag, made no essential departure from the
duplicitous role to which that government
has persstently adhered in all Of it's discus
sions regarding accord on basis for arriy-
ing at Just peace. lie Processes to subscribe
to the four principles which President Wilson
has stated must be applied in a mutual OK
change or views as Il preliminary to convokinE
peace conference. but his acceptance Of these
principles is negativcd by conditions which
are tantamount to insistcncc upon terms TO
which Germany has been willing to subscribe
ever since the battle of the Marne-a German
dictated peace, in which her recent successes
in tho east materially safeguard the advan-
tages that would accrue TO her from sucb q
peace.
With the "self-dctermination" OF the pco
pies in tho territory already conquered Inv
her military power safely determined in her
interest. Germany is bcncvolently willing to
abide the further processes OF economic and
political subsection to Il condition of yassal
age that would place them rs completely
under her control as il directly absorbed
under her sovereignty. With their yassala g O
thus predetermined, German diplomacy char
actcrstically finds opportunity for emphasis
in protesting 4 Willingness that these shall
not he bartorcd about from sovereignty TO
sovereignty if they were mere chattcls and
why should not Germany assent to the prin-
ciplc proposed by President Wilson, "if
agreed to by the other entente members.
that every territorial settlement in this war
must be made in the interest and for the
benefit of the populations concerncd-cspc-
cially so since she has foreguarded her gains
in such settlement by controlling the express
sion OF the interests and benefits to be deter
mined?
Having thus defined the attitude Of his
government toward peace, the Chancellor
graciousy announces that its further program
involves continued military operations "in
the name of humanity" and to create peace
and order in the interest of peaceable popu-
iations" until "our enemies decide to conclude
peace" on conditions which the Chancellor
says they already know" Incidentally, in
supporting this attitude, the Chancellor shows
his contempt for "the court OF the entire
world" by charactcrizing it as too prejudiced
TO pass upon the merits OF the German cause
i'll this war.

SeeresAry Lansing Advise
Senator'S Regarding Tur-I
ko-Bulgar Situation.

Secretary Of State Lansing gave y
the Senate Committee on Foreign R<-
lations today reasons why the admin
istration has withheld . oeclaraton
OF war against Turkey and Bulgaria
The committee. after hearing secre-
tary Lansing, decided 70 do acthinG
further toward pressing action ~
Congress on q resolution TO tnclnos
these allies Of the central powers IN
the war measure. e.
It was pointed out by Secretary
Landing that no positive informa3on
has come TO this country Of the com
mission OF any overt act by either
Turkey Of Bulgaria against the United
States or American interests. Ne
American ships have been sunk hy
Turkish or Bulgarian submarines
troops Of those nations have not beee
engaged with American troops. and
nothing else has been done, the SEQ
retary explained, which would justify
this country IN regarding either Tur-
key or Bulgaria as openly hostile On
the other hand, a declaration Of war
by the United States at this tina.
might result. Secretary Lansing said.
In the dispatch OF Turkish and Bul-
garian troops 20 tho assistance OF
German and Austrian forces on the
Western front
Secretary Lansing cited as one rea-
son why il might be advantageous 70
this country to declare war upon Tur-
key and Bulgaria the fact that such
a declaration would tend TO arouse
the spirit Of the Greek forces and In
spire them TO renewed attacks upon
the Bulgarians.
