ABOUT FACE IN BERLIN

The improvement in spirits in Berlin lasted until noon on October 1s, when optimism disappeared. I have no nearer knowledge of events there. Why did not the secretaries of state, who had expressed themselves so confidently on the 17th, move to action? They knew well what was at stake.
 It is to me wholly incomprehensible that, on May 12, 1919, Secretary Kon-
 rad Haussmann should say, amid great applause: If our army, If our workers, had known on November and 9 that the peace would take this terrible form the army would not have laid down its arms but would have fought on" Everything that has come about was plainly to be expected on October IT.. 1 That is an historical fact that cannot | be denied. We warned them against 1 equalization. All that was required was to look the facts in the face, to cease deceiving themselves and the peo- 1 pie, and endow themselves with resolu- | tion in action, such as was to be found at CLIO.
 On the 2oth we received the new draft answer at Spa. The submarine cam paign was abandoned, the way to cap | itulation, with all it's disastrous conse- quences, was undertaken. The Field Marshal and I drew attention to- this point of view once again, and again warned them of the consequences. We proposed rallying cry to the people. We refused to take any part in drafting such an answer. The War Cabinet became very excited at this;
 why, do not know. We were men with views of our own. and we followed the
 course which we rega fled as the right
 one, and which we had always pursued THROW UP THE SPONGE" The answer to Wilson was dispatched r. fIA w;x. was abandoned. This concession to Wilson was the deepest blow to the
 army, and especially to the navy The injury to the morale of the fleet must
 have been immeasurable. The Cabinet
 had thrown up the sponge.
 The Chancellor did not alter the sit-
 uation by his speech on October 22.
 The man who takes his stand honor
 ably on the peace of justice takes also
 upon himself the duty not to bow un-
 resisting to peace of violence. A
 government who had no sense of this
 would deserve and earn the contempt
 of the fighters and workers" This
 speech, too, was unaccompanied by ac- tion. Nothing was done to raise moral at home or in the field. Prince Max has pronounced judgment on himself and his colleagues
 The Minister of War alone did any work, striving to provide the reinforce ments. Here, too, nothing was achieved for part of the men refused to go to the front, and the government yielded!
 LudendOrff tomorrow tells the dramatic details of his resignation from command of the army. His i'm sistance that Germany should fight on for better terms brought him into sharp conflict with the Berlin gov- ernment and open denunciation of Wilson's third note precfpated the crisis.

are. We do not wish to break off with Wilson out of hand. On the contrary, we must say: DO tell us clearly what we~are to do! But, if you ask anything inconsistent with our national honor, or desire to render us incapable of fighting further then our answer must be ''No'!"
 Tn saying this, I am not departing from my previous position in the least"
 DEFENDS HIS DESTRUCTION
 I then dealt with the destruction which the Entente alleged that we had carried out on the retreat.
 We have. in accordance with out duty done everything to limit the de- struction as far as is consistent with military needs. It would be absolutely inexcusable to leave houses undestroy- ed. for billets are of great help to the enemy. The enemy themselves des- troyed the houses afterwards. In Lille we left unhurt the electric light, the water supply. and the tramway line, but we distroyed the telegraphs, tele- phones and railways The worst dam age was done by the English cannon and airmen.
 The army is not responsible for isolated cases of brutality I have done my best to stop any such abuses. l request this be emphasized in the note to Wilson, for the army has right to that"
 The meeting then closed. Secretaries Grober and Haussmnnn by whom I was sitting, expressed to me their pleasure that I had so improved their spirits. l travelled back to Spa in confident mood There was some discussion at this meeting about a catastrophe which c. H. c. was said to have reported at the end of September, or the beginning of October. This taken together with Secretary Solfs idea that had changed my views, led me to discuss once again with Major Baron von dem Busche his speech of the beginning of october.

TWELVE MILLION
BOTTLES SOLD IN
ONLY FOUR YEARS
Dallas Wholesale and Retail
Agents Alone Have Sold AS
tOnishing Total of 406,836
Bottles Since Introduction
Here.

More like a tale from the Arabian
Nights of old than the record Of a
modern business reads the story of
the truly marvellous growth and devel-
opment of Tanlac, the celebrated medi-
cine which has been accomplishing such
remarkable results in all parts of the
country.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the
public was sold just a little wei four
years ago in the thriving little city of
Lexington. Ky. Since that time, there
have been sold and distributed through
out the United States and Canada over
Twelve million bottles, and a romance
which perhaps has no parallel in the
modern business world was begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large city, small town. village and ham
let in North America. The provinces
Of Ontario, Quebec, Alberta. Saskatche-
wan and British Columbia have shown
due appreciation Of Tanlac. Hawaii,
Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other
foreign countries are clamoring for it.
NO matter where you go Tanlac is a
household word, and it is now unques-
tionably the most widely talked Of med
icine in the world today.
Since its Introduction here only two
and a half years ago the Hesslg- Ellis
Drug company, exclusive wholesale dis
tributors; Warnock Drug Co. and Weiss
Pharmacy, the local retail agents, have
sold the astonishing total in this city
and section alone Of 406, 1886 bottles, The
most noteworthy feature in connection
with the wonderful success which the
preparation has achieved lies in the
fact that the local iobbers are still buy
ing it in solid carload lots, each car
containing approximately twelve to
fifteen thousand bottles.

DEMAND FOR TANLAC
GREATEST IN HISTORY
But Few People Realize the
Remarkable Record Medi-
cine Has Made.
SUCCESS UNPRECEDENTED
Nothing Like It Has Ever Been
Seen Here Before, Say
Local Dealers.

The fame of Tanlac and the remark
able results it has ACCOMPLISHED have
become a subject Of wide discussion
in this city and section. In fact. this
celebrated medicine has become the
sensation Of the drug trade throughout
the entire United States.
But few people realize what a really
remarkable record this medicine has
made. Indeed if it were not for the
unquestionable facts and figures given
out by the best known firms Of the
country whose statements can not be
doubted, to say nothing of the thou
sands Of testimonials from well known
men and women which have appeared
In the daily press, the story of the sue
cess of Tanlac would be hard to be-
lieve.
In referring to the unprecedented de-
mand for Tanlac a well known local
dealer said:
II have been closely identified with
the drug trade in this city for a num-
Der of years, and in all of our expert
ence we have never handled anything
In the way of a proprietary medicine
that even approaches Tanlac as a seller.
Since it's introduction here we have sold
at retail right here in our store 1922
bottles, and l believe l viii be entirely
safe in saying that this amount of bust
ness in so short a time establishes a
new sales record for the sale of a medi-
cine in this city. Judging from the
repeat sales and the many expressions
Of satisfaction from those who have
actually used the medicine and who
state hat they have been benefited
by it, Tanlac must unquestionably be
a medicine of unusual merit.
THE people who buy Tanlac repre-
sent all walks of life, many of them
being among the best people of our city
and they nearly always come back and
buy more and tell of the good results
they have obtained from It's use. Tan
lac is now a household word in this
city and section, and the tremendous
demand for it seems TO continue year
after year. We are only too glad to rec
ommend a medicine that gives such
universal satisfaction"

HUGE ORDER FOR
TANLAC IS GIVEN
Big Plant Doubles Capacity,
Now Has Daily Output of
10000 Bottles. !

What is probably the largest single
order ever given for a proprietary med
icine was one for twenty carloads of
Tanlac received a few days ago for
immediate delivery by the Cooper Med
iclne CO, from the International Dis
tributor, in Atlanta.
Ask the manager of the Cooper Medi-
cine Co, at Dayton, Ohio, and he will
tell you that there are 1000 dozen of
Tanlac to the carload, or 12,720 bottles.
This means, therefore, that 254, 400
bottles will be shipped within the next
few days to supply the tremendous de-
mand. This Is in addition to numerous
single carload orders received from
the same source during the past thirty
days.
Although the big Cooper laboratories
at Dayton were capable of turning out
5000 bottles daily, the rapidly increas-
ing demand has made 1t necessary t.
double their capacity and they now
have a daily output Of 80, 900 bottles
which is probably the largest in this
country.

ABSOLUTE MERIT
RESPONSIBLE
TANLAC'S SUCCESS
ut Pays to ADVERTISE" But
Success Is Impossible With
out Merit-Hot Air Will
Send Up a Balloon, But
Won't Keep It There.

This is an age of advertising, and
everyone is familiar with the popular
saying, 1T pays to advertise"
Advertising is a business force. So
potent is the charm cast by its spell it
has been known to perform marvellous
feats and to accomplish phenomenal re-
suits.
1t a not be truly said. however, that
everyone who advertises succeeds, for
unless full value underlays the article
advertised the advertising would ulti-
mately fall of its own weight. In this
connection we must not forget the
words of the immortal Lincoln, who
said: You can fool some of the people
all Of the time; you can fool all of the
people some Of the time, but you can
not fool all of the people all of the
time" So if there is not behind every
advertisement a dollars and cents value
to the article advertised, no amoulS Of
advertising will stimulate the sale on
such an article beyond a certain point.
This applies to very line of business,
and the modern business man or firm
can only succeed through honest ad-
yertising and fair dealing.
Hot air will put up a balloon, but it
won't keep it there. So, when the man
ufacturers Of Tanlac placed it on the
market something less than three years
ago they did so with the firm conviction
that they were offering to the people
the best and purest product of it's kind
on the American market today. They
did not hesitate, therefore, to expend
vast sums for advertising because they
knew that the more the people heard
about Tanlac the more they would
buy it.
The success the preparation achieved
was immediate and people everywhere
We're quick to recognize its genuine
merit.
Tanlac has never been advertised as
a "cure-all" or that it would perform
unheard-Of wonders. The advertising
has been clean, straightforward and
constructive. Actual facts and figures
have been stated and stated in a bust
nesslike way in a manner that has
commanded confidence in the conserva-
tive claims set forth.
Underlying these claims there has
been real value, not from a dollars and
cents point alone, but from health as
well.

known fact that these splendid indorse

be given just as often as new tests OF
It's powers are made. 1t must be horne
in mind, however, that the published
testimonials represent only one in a
thousand of those who have been bene-
fitted by its use.
Among the large number of promi-
