ENGLAND MORE CHANGED
by WAR THAN SHE
HERSELF REALIZES

England after the war will never
again be the same as England before
the war, declares Edward Hungerford
In an article In the April number Of
the Red Cross Magazine on how Great
Britain Is demobilizing both men and
munitions.
"Her national customs will stand
staunch;" he continues, "her prefer
ences, her mannerisms, her peculiar
tiles, II you please, in all probability
will not be greatly changed; but a
vast revolution In the relation and
status OF her workers Is coming to
her. OF that do not doubt. The war
has wrought greater change in Eng
land than even she herself today real
ICES. 1t has wrought sad havoc--it is
pitiful to 60 through the streets of
London or Liverpool or Edinburgh, or,
for that matter, any English city or
town, and see that MANNED men; it
is vastly more pitiful to reach beneath
the stout skin of British pride and sto-
icism and there find the unseen hurts,
the countless tragedies that four years
of fearful war have worked upon a
nation. To say that England gave l.
$1,000 lives toward the winning of
the great war does not half tell the
story"
Mr.. Hungerford finds the workers
of England have come into their own,
but that the burden carried by those
whose estates have brought stagger-
ing taxes upon them is hardly appre-
ciated in the outside World.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE COVENANT

AN ARMY OF OFFICERS
(owensboro Messenger)

The French are said to fear. that
even In O German army OF 100000
volunteers there will be danger, be-
cause Germany may make officers out
of the whole 100000, and so be ready
to officer huge army after while.
Maybe 80, but Americans are not
disposed to worry about that. II the
Hun privates that our army has had
to deal with are fair specimens, and
II Germany imagines she can make
officers out of such material let her
try.
Also, II she thinks she can get the
young men representative Of the old
military caste to serve as nominal
privates, let her try.
Heretofore German officers have
served for the glory of ordering other
men around, and the privates have
serced because they had to. II Ger
many can be forced to stop conscrlp-
ton and hold her army organization
down to 100000 men, we'll take a
chance on the result.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Maysyille People Have Done SO.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel a dark, ill
smelling urine, full of "brickdust'
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull
pain in the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Maysville people endorse Doan S
Kidney Pills.
Fred Dresel, tailor and justice Of tbs
peace, 1898 East Second Street
says: 81 was troubled by inflammation
Of the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned in passage and often were re-
tarded. had severe pains across the
small Of my back which greatly inter
fered with my work. Doans Kidney
Pills, which l got at Wood & Son:
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
Mr.. Dresel gave the above statement
on February 6, 1908, and on November
ID, 1916, he added: II have had the
same faith In Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for l haven't had any trou
BILE with my kidneys since last recon-
mended them"

simply ask for kidney remedy - get
Doan's Kidney Pills - the same that

REAL BEAUTY OF CITIES

New Orleans was the most beauti-
full city seen from the sky" says the
writer, Henry Jay Case, recently Of
the Air Service. "As an air picture 1t
had distinction all its own in color,
size and design. Lying in one Of the
ox-bows of the Mississippi, with its
unusual outline, its raised cemeteries
with their white tombstones, its dig
onal avenues and white houses, the
city looks like pattern in lace set

Savannah from the air at this time
of the year was gray city, dull and
uninteresting, but the Savannah river
at food was golden stream, running
into the blue of the Atlantic as far as
the eye could see.
"The big feature of Washington,
from the sky, is not the Monument.
Washington shows as a white city, but
standing out clear and distinct above
everything else is the dome of the
Capitol, and the circles and angles
made by the walks and drives in the
park around it."

Both Suits and Dresses.

Owing to lhe proportions OF the
present demand for women's wear,
the coming fall season promises to
see suits and dresses bought in equal
amounts. Only n short time ago In
the history of the dress trade II was
always Il question of a choice between
the two styles of garments, with rare
ly a time when both were equally
good. Manufacturers Of dresses hold
the present demand for quality re-
sponsible in a measure for the field
that exists for both suits and dresses,
and as long as both maintain high
standards they stand the same chance
Of acceptance. This stabilizing OF
conditions has been a decidedly well

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
TREATY OF BUCHAREST, 1913.

so and an armistice was signed be-
tween Bulgaria, Serbia and MOntene-
gro on n side and Turkey on the
other on December 3.
Greece refused to sign any armistice
while Janina. the Albanian capital, re-
NAMED in Turkish hands, and cOntin-
ued to attack that city. The powers
hurriedly got together in a peace con-
ference in London. There was no
coming to terms with the Turk, and on
February 3. 1913. hostilities were re-
sumed. The Greeks captured Janina.
and the B~ulgarians drove in the Tcha-
talja line. A Bulgarian and Serbian
army took A%drianople with the Turk
ish commander and 10000 prisoners.
Scutari In Albania was besieged by a
MOntenegrin and Serbian army, and
Greek men-of-war in the Adriatic were
cooperating with the troops.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10, 1913, another armistire was
| signed, and or May 80 the belligerents
signed at London a treaty of peace
with Turkey. BY this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the Balkan allies the
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west of the
Enos-Midia line, and left the adjust
ment of the Albanian frontiers and the
disposal of the Aegean islands to the
powers, which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions tx
cept Constantinople and the country
Immediately back of 1t.
But the ink on the treaty was not
dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other owe the
spoils.
Thirty days after the treaty of Lon
don had been signed they were all at
1t again, with Roumania now playing
a part. The Bulgarians attacked the
Greeks in the P~anghaion district and
fought a three days battle with the
Serbians, ending on July 80.
Bulgaria Declares War.
Three days later Bulgaria declared
war against Greece and Serbia, and
Montenegro declared war upon Bulga-
ria. ROumania declared war against
Bulgaria On July 10, and Turkey at
the same time sent an army forth and
captured Adrianople without trouble.
The Bulgarians stubbornly resisted
the advance Of the Greek army north.
but King Constantine pressed on
toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and
Serbs hurled back the Bulgarians In
the west, and King Ferdinand sued
for peace.
And now a new arrangement OF the
bell!gerent Balkans is In progress.
