A cold in the summer time, as every

est way is to go to bed and stay there

But if you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden

and take occasional doses Of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more

Jusserand Is Rejuvenated.


The other afternoon I spent an hour
or two at the French embassy, talking
with Ambassador JuSSerand who had
Just returned to this country. Like
other representatives Of the allied
powers he is a different man today to
what he was a year ago. A burden
heavier than lead seems 10 have lifted
from his shoulders. He is buoyant
and hopeful for the future. He al
ways was hopeful. for chat matter,
even in the darkest days, but now he
seems like a man who reioices that
something besides war can claim his
attention. Ambassador Jusserand Is
a writer of note among the writer's Of
the world
He told me how the French appre-
ciated the unfailing humor and wit of
the American soldiers. He went to
France with President Wilson and re-
turned with him, and consequently
was IN his home country for about six
months. He said that he was talking
to a French general now in command
OF tie forces III EdFlS Out WHO last
summer was in command of an army
at the front, and was told by the gen.
eral that one day when an American
force had been in continuous action
for a long time, and it seemed neces-
sary that it should be relieved, he
telephoned an American brigadier gen
eral that he might withdraw his
forces for a rest.
"The brigadier general" said Am
bassador Jusserand, told me that the
American general in reply to the per-
mission to withdraw for a rest, said :
1T will be impossible tn withdraw for
several hours, because have $4,000

behind and of course being an honest

indications are that the reply will be

The Germans will be given five

COUNCIL is WILLING
TO ADMIT THE GERMANS
Possibility of Union Of Germany
Powers Talk Of Rival Group.

Paris, June 12.-The movement
to admit Germany to the league Of
nations is due mainly to the desire
to avoid the possibility of the for
nation of another group composed
of rival powers. which embrace Ger
many, Russia and the old Teutonic
group.
Evidences have reached the con-
ference leaders OF late that influences
are at work in Germany and Russia
to establish relations as a basis for
a combination of powers not in the
league. While not regarded as i'm
minent, it was felt that the danger
OF such combination would be al
ways present while Germany was
outside the league. and the admis-
sion to Germany, therefore, was rec
commended as means of subjecting
her to the same obligations as the
allies under the league of nations.
This sentiment was chiefly instru-
the British. French, American and
Italian members of the league COM
mittee concerning the conditions on
which Germany may be admitted
One of the chief authorities said:
I'VE can deal with Germany bet
ter when inside than outside the
league. Outside she would be able
to go her own way; inside she must
conform to the same obligations as
the allies"
The covenant originally foresaw
Germany's admission on giving "ef-
fective guarantees Of her sincere in
tention to observe international
obligations" The recommendations
now submitted to the council of four
define these effective guarantees.
namely, the establishment of sta
BILE government. the signing of the
peace treaty and loyalty executing
the terms of the treaty.
The league covenant also made it
conditional OF Germany's entrance
that she accept the league restric-
tions of military and naval restric-
ments. 1t was proposed to define
this specific abolition Of compulsory
military service.
NJ. Clemenceau objected, howev-
er, on the ground that such specifi-
cation might bring up the whole
question OF compulsory service 1t
was omitted from the recommenda-
tions presented to the council Of
four.
The council spent the day in ex-
amining this and other committee
reports, Indications were that the
reply to the Germans would be ready
before the end of the week. prob
ably Friday. when five days will be
given for Germany's final answer
