Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol
them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

this clash has supplied one Of the most

These difficulties were enhanced by
the fact that at the moment when Italy
entered the war the French and British
governments had guaranteed to Italy
not only the possession of Trieste, with
the Slav hinterand but also the posses
sion of the northern half of Dalmatia,
and most of the Adriatic islands, What
ever may be the justice of the Italian
claims as to lstria, there is no mistaking
the fact that the great mass of the peo-
pie OF Dalmatia are not merely Slav, but
determined to become part of the new
Jugo-Slavic state.

A CHASTITY

Each one of the four peoplcs-the
roles, the Rumanians, the Czecho- Slo-

fashion. The partition of Poland did

last partition of that year Napoleon. in
creating the Grand Duchy of Warsaw,
revived Polish hopes and, in certain

sequence of this, Poland gave the great

and many of his best troops. The Con-
Sress Of Vienra abolished Poland in
TACT, despite the fiction written into that
document, but from 1915 until the end
VI the world war the story of Poland
mas been CHASTITY tragedy. The Polish
people have been divided between Ans

'he last war they were condemned to
hgne against each other, and it was not
until this war broke that there was the
smallest promise of a restoration Of
Poland.

.u Asst week | discussed the western
frontiers Of Germany, indicating
a. that the Allies had substantially
agreed that Germany should sur
render Alsnce.Iorrainc and the Sahr
coal district to France outright, and thht
she would further have to consent to inc
creation of Rhensh Republic on the
left bank of the Rhine The permanent
military frontier and the temporary po-
ljtical frontier of Germany on the west
are thus fixed at the Rhine.
Since that time very great decisions
have been practically reached, not mere
" with respect to the eastern frontiers
of Germany, but also as to the perma-
nent boundaries of five states which are
either to be created, expanded, or, IN the
case of Hungary, greatly diminished.
These decisions give us chance to see
something of what the map Of Europe
is to be after the Peace of Versailles,
and it is these changes which | am going
to discuss now.
The problem before the victoYs in the
present war WAS to create out of the
nationalties rescued from German and
Austrian tyranny or having escaped
from the Russian chaos real states which
should have a future part in the pres
erration of peace in Europe and should
achieve the unification of races whose
servitude has been a permanent menace
to the peace Of Europe.
In August, 1914, and in all the period
before that, stretching back to the de
cisions of the Congress of Vienna
century ago, three Slav raccs-the
Poles. the Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo-
Slavs--had been condemned to alien
rule while fourth the Rumanan, al
though in the latter half of the century
IT achieved partial liberation, has been
