Physicians and druggists claim that

that the digestive organs may be in

Calotabs the new nauseaiess calomel
tablets that are free from the sicken-
ing and weakening effects, is the most
thorough and dependable, as well as
the most agreeable laxative.
Calotabs have the special advantage
of not making the patient sick and

1t is generally Interpreted in that
state that if the democratic ticket
succeeds, the policemen who deserted
their posts and left Boston open to
the attacks Of a mob of hooters, will
be relnstated.
The democratic party mildly not
condonmg the policemen for their act
leads them to expect getting back at
increased pay. That viii be an invita-
ton to every police force in the coun-
try to go on strike. That is the be-
ginning of soviet government. Police
forces should no more tie themselves
up with one party to industrial dis
putes than judges should join employ
ers' associations.
The Massachusetts, politicians were
fearful of alternating the support OF
law and order, but anxious to get the
votes of all who believe in soviet gov
eminent, or who want the police tc
owe allegiance to organizations repre-
senting private interests.

WHERE THE IRISH COUNT.

The democratic state convention of
New Jersey-the presidents own state
pulled back on it's leader by refus-
ing to endorse the league of nations
unless it took care of the Irish people
who are demanding self-determina-
ton, which means a republic of their
own cut away from England. Massa-
chusetts democrats, in state conven-
ton. also declared for reservations to
the treaty. The democratic senator
from that state has announced in the
senate that he cannot vote for the
treaty as it stands. The sentiment in
that state is strong for Ireland being
allowed independence. but at Paris
President Wilson was non-committal
and has been since, because British
delegates at the peace conference
were not willing TO hear anything
from Ireland.

EpoCH.MAMNG AERIAL RACE.

Not alone as a spectacle, nor as a
demonstration, is the transcontinen-
tai race of heavier-than-ai machines
of great significance. From purely
scientific standpoint it may contribute
greatly to the knowledge of engineers
and aviators in the completion of
their mastery Of the air. Never was
there undertaken such a rigorous
test of men and machines as this con-
Quoted by the war department.
In one respect. however, the con-
test is more than a mere scramble for
annihilating time. The enforcement
of stops at regular stations does much
to eliminate chances ambitious pilots
might take in other events of this
kind.
More important in the public view,
than a sensational record in speed is
the completion of the course by ma
jority of the machines entered. with
comparative regularity of schedule.
In the final analysis that is what is
required of flying craft in their adap-
tation to commercial needs. The speed
of the machine does not matter so
much as its ability to get there and
get back. And though the eighty
planes may fail short of the ideal
they provide a scientific background
from which the possibility of COM
plete dependabiIity in the near future
may be estimated.

BAD MEDICINE IN SOUTH.

The south is for the democratic
party of course. But indications are
that the southern people do not APP
prove of the covenant from Paris.
In a recent election in the Seventh
Alabama congressional district the
league Of nations was made an issue
BY republicans who attacked it, using
the speeches of Senators Reed and
sherman freely to circulate informa-
ton about the number of votes black
races, would have in the league.
kIIomer Cummings of the democratic
committee sent Representative Helm
back home to help the party. Prob
ably Heflin saved the face of the or
ganization for a majority of 4OS was
retained. In 1916 the majority was
1868. But in 1918. when President
Wilson was already committed to
dealing with Europe and appealing to
the country to back him up. the dem
ocratic majority in the district fell
to 1899.
Democratic campaign managers all
through the southern states have re-
ceived instructions to abandon the
league of nations as a campaign issue
in the political fight next year.
The republicans will hammer away
on it as they did in the Seventh Ala
lama district, where the democratic
majority for a representative to sue
coed Burnett was cut down. and in the
Eighth Kentucky district. heretofore
democratic, whore a republican, King
! Swope, was elected by 1900.

near Gumbinnon C75 miles east of

spite of initial successes. not resulted
in any decisive victory, and had to be
broken off.
Since then the army between Lake

Pregel behind the River Define (25

The line of lakes from Nikoaiken

Opposed Plan to Go Back.
There was a possibility of the two
enemy armies advancing on both

BILE.
Found Strong Army for Attack.
At my request orders were immedi-
ately sent to the east front fixing the
retreat of the main body of the Sth
arfy for the 23rd inst. The LIST re-
serve corps. the 18th army corps and
the main reserve of the Konissberg
garrison We're to have a rest, The LIST
army corps was not to be detrained at
Gosslershaussen, but near General Won
Scholtzs position, somewhere east of
Deutsch- Eylau CAS- miles south of
west of Allenstein). Any available
troops from the garrisons of Thorn,
Kuhn, Graudenz and Marienburg We're
to go to Strasburg and Lautenberg
GO miles apart near the Polish bor-
der about 65 miles southwest of Allen
stein). These carrisons We're COM
posed only of Landwehr and Land
sturm formations.
Thus, in the southwest part of east
Prussia Con q front of about rs to 100
miles, as shown by General Luden-
dorff's account of positions), a strong
army was formed. which could under
take an offensive, while the northern
group either continued its retreat in
a southwesterly direction. or could be
brought straight down south to assist
in the action against the Narew army.
OF course an actual decision as to the
plan to be adopted could only be
given on the spot The Russians could
not be driven off without a fresh en-
gagement
No staff officer would miss such a
chance of turning to good advantage
the fact that their two armies were
separated from each other.
Proud Memory of the Kaiser.
