ULTIMATUM ISSUED
TO The GERMANS
If GERMAN PEOPLE WANT PEACE
THEY CAN NOW GET IT BY
GETTING RID OF KAISER
WILSON ANSWERS TEUTONS
Armistiee Cannot BE Considered un.
less II is Dictated BY The Allied
Commanders In The Field

Washington. President Wilson has
answered Germanys peace proposal
with a decision which not only fulhlls
the expectations Of supporters of his
diplomacy, but also gospels the fears
of those who predicted he would sub
stitute victories at arms with defeats
at diplomacy.
No peace with Kaiserism, autocracy
must go; no armistice can even be
thought of while Germany continues
her atrocities on land and sea; one
cannot be considered unless it is fully
dictated by the allied commanders IN
the field in such terms as absolutely
provide safeguards and guarantees
that Germany's part will not be
scrap of paper.
This in few words is the presl-
dents answer
If it does not bring a capitnlation
which may be more than an uncondi-
tional surrender, allied diplomats ana
American officials believe it may
cause revolution in Germany.
Beyond question it speaks for the
entente allies as well as the United
States.
The dispatch of the presidents re-
pIv was followed by the issue of this
formal statement at the white house
by Secretary Tumulty:
"The government will continue TO
send over 100000 men with their sup
plies every month and there will be
no relaxation of any kind
Quite outside of the formal phrases
of diplomatic document that was
President Wilson's word TO the world
that he had no thought of stopping the
fighting at this stage.
The senate chamber rang with the
applause of the senators as the presi-
dents answer was read few minutes
after it had been announced at the
state department Senator Lodge, the
presidents chief critic in his course,
issued a, statement expressing his
qualification at the presidents deci-
sion. Opinion at the capitol and
throughout official Washington was
unanimously in approval.
The official note which conveyed
the presidents decision to the Ger
man government, and more important,
the German people, was delivered by
Secretary Lansing to the charge OF
the Swiss legation who has been act
rag as the Intermediary.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
IN endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that | know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post Address

Turk Peace Plea At Last Arrive

Washington.-Turkey' long-delayed
note asking, like Germany and Aus
tria, that President Wilson take in
hand the restoration of peace, was re-
ceived at the state department in
Washington. The note, differing only
slightly in phraseology from those OF
the greater central powers, was de-
livered by the Spanish ambassador.
Its failure to appear earlier coupled
with the knowledge that the pro-Ger-
man government at Constantinople
virtually had collapsed, had given rise
to the belief that it would not come
and instead the Turks would not make
a different sort of appeal, probably of
fering unconditional surrender.
