The public statement of a Charles
Town citizen is in itself strong proof
for Charles Town people, but con-
firmation strengthens the evidence.
Here is Charles Town citizen
who testified years ago that Doan's
Kidney Pills relieved weak kidneys
and now states the result was perma-
nent. Can any sufferer from kidney
ills ask better proof? You can in
vestigate. The case is right at home.
Mrs. Ida Pentz,, 401 w. Washing
ton street says: "For several years
l had spells of backache and other
symptoms of kidney trouble. My
kidneys acted irregularly and caused
a good deal of pain and annoyance.
l had several pains through my back
and loins and when / bent over, had
trouble in Strengthening up. A cou-
pie boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills were
enough to relieve the backache and
pains and restore my kidneys to
normal condition"

Over three years later, Mrs. Pentz
said: 1.-TWO boxes of Doan's Kid

War Council Tells How millions

Used For Relief.
BIG TASK IS DESCRIBED
In Twenty Months s154, ooo, 900 Was
Spent Overseas and Sis, ooo, 900
In the United States.

Washington. Especial. )-Through a
complete report of the work OF the
American Red Cross in the war by
chairman Henry P. Dawson, on be-
half of the war council, the organiza-
lion on the eve of its annual enroll
ment of members during the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, November to
II, has rendered an accounting Of the
many millions given 1t by the Ameri-
Fan people to help our fighting men
and our allies. The statement is, in
part, as follows:
The war council Of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done by
the American Red Cross during the
period In which the war council was
In control Of its affairs. The war
council was appointed May 10, 1919,
and went out of existence February
Is, 1919.
1T was the practice of the war
its policies and finances, but it Is only
now that picture Of the war period
as whole can be presented. 1t is
The feeling OF the war council that a
report in this summarized form should
De made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the eff
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
"A statement of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished It's control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and it is i'm
oortant, therefore, that the fact thai
his report covers the period only until
March l, should be carefully noted"

DEN0UNCES THE

II
Declares it a Combination of
Armed Power in a Gil

Again Urges Adoption of
Resolution Asking For
Text of Treaty.

Washington, June 2.-Assai1ing the
League Of Nations as combination
of armed powers. sin gigantic war
trust" Senator Johnson, Republican,
of California, told the senate today
that the Paris conference dared not
amend the league covenants so that
the declaration Of future war would
be decided, not by established rulers,
but by a popular vote of the peoples
concerned.
'It is not league Of nations to
prevent war;" he asserted. I'm its
very creation it has been stripped d
every idealistic purpose it ever had.
It contains within itself the germs Of
many wars, and worse than that, it
rivets as in the Shantung decision,
the chains of tyranny upon millions of
people and cements for all time .un-
just and wicked annexations.. 1t is a
great world economic trust, wherein
a few men, sitting in secret, may con-
troll the economic destinies of peoples.
It is not a league of peoples. nor
does it anywhere concern itself with
peoples. it-o
Would Vote ON 1t.
'Instead of coming closer to those
most concerned. the men and women
for whom governments should exist,
the league goes a step farther from
them. The representatives of ruling
powers sit far away in secret. If
those who wrote this document really
wanted to prevent war. they would
have permitted the men and women
who must bear the burdens Of war
to determine by their votes whether
or not there should be war.
1.-THE answer is this is not league
to promote peace. but to protect
power Those who advocate it dare
