LONDON. May 3.--How widely the view
prevails that the Germans are unbeaten
is clear from Macmillan Harden's lat
est issue Of Die ZukunJt in which he as
serts that however hard It's conditions,
granting the armistice might be accepted
as proof that Germans enemies did not
think Of destroying her even when her
destruction seemed attainable.
This" says Harden, lis understood
by the minority OF serious and fair
minded men. But the largely predomi-
mating majority really believe what is
told them by the militarists, who have
become neither extinct nor impotent,
that We are not conquered nor beaten,
that we were compelled to accept an
armistice not by fear OF a catastrophe
to the army, but because there was
no longer any victory TO fight for; also
because the enemy had finally come to
reason and offered us a treaty which
allotted US the right and duties OF the
fourteen points, but which the Entente,
now we have voluntarily made our
selves defenceless and despicable. breaks.

desire to annihilate Is thus clearly

 Shis is the question that is being aeard on all sides and one in which much interest is being manifested, for every pressure is being brought to bear upon the members of the leSiS- lature to ratify the suffrage amend ment. The federal amendment mas recently passed both the federal House and Senate and it is now up to the legislators either to ratify or reject the amendment. Already 30 sstates have enfranchised women and the suf- fraglsts of Alabama are making every effort to have the men of the state give the women the ballot at this time, for it is felt it will be only a short time when equal suffrage will be national. that is, of course, as soon as 36 states ratify the amendment

Knoxville Man Declares He Feels Like a New Person Since Tanlac Ended
 His Troubles

"A few bottles of Tanlac actually put Tn end to my indigestion and made me feel like a new man." said c. M. Smith, an employe of the Mono Ice Cream Co.,, of Knoxville, Tenn, in relating his ex- perience with Tanlac.
 .'One day after eating he continued, 'I had an awful attack of acute indigestion, and for several days I wks mighty sick man. My stomach swe1led up so with gas that I could hardly breathe, my hands and feet got cold and clammy and my pulse went down tiH you could hardly feel it. I started doctoring myself but in spite of the medicine I took I became so much worse and suffered such agony. that I surely thought my time had come.
 One of my friends advised me to try Tanlac and I began to improve right from the start and in a week I felt much better. A few more bottles fixed me up all right and I have gotten entirely over my indigestion and can now eat anything want I believe everybody in my neigh borhood is taking Tanlac and praising it for the good it is doing them"

SOCIALISTS WERE
 KEPT IN THE DARK

Berlin. May 14.-The reason why German socialists of all complexions voted solidly for war credits at the be- ginning of hostilities is explained by Edward Bernstein in vorwaerts.
 Answering an editorial in the Tage- b1att. which claimed that even radicals had not the slightest word of protest to offer against the violation of Bel gium, Bernstein says the socialists were completely in the dark about the real situation until the reichstag's meeting in August, 1914. Even then, he says, they did not know about the en- try of Belgium by German forces and did not learn (. it until the chancel- Tor, Bethmann-Hollweg, mentioned the fact in speech. And the chancellor, according to Bernstein. so represented matters that it appeared as of France had begun hostilities by airplane and cavalry attacks
 The falseity of that statement" the writer continues, twas not and could not be established until lateH It is impossible to blame any socialist for not springing up and fiinging untrue in Bethmann's face"
