Warnings.
Paris March 31.-(Correspondenc A.
PD-Warnings are being heard on all
sides that the Germans will exert all
their ingenuity to make true the pre-
diction attributed to DIR. Richard Won
kuehlmann Gormer German foreign
secretary that lin less than FIVE
years time the Germans will be back
in Paris (pacifically. that is to say and
and in favorable conditions"
Evidence is accommodating that the
prelminaries of the kind of pacific PEN
etration at which the Germans seem
TO be particularly adept, already have
commenced. German merchants with
prewar business connections in France
are endeavoring to pick up the
threads" again, and the papers now and
then publish obsequiously worded mis-
sives to French firms. inviting them TO
resume our pleasant relations"
More dangerous in the eyes OF the
French are the attempts that are being
made by German servants, now pos
ing AS Alsatians or Swiss, to slip
quietly back INTO their old places with
French families. In some cases, their
Teutonic accent betrays them; in
others suspicious employers have de-
tected minute flaws in otherwise ire
proachable legitimation papers. Regis

most scrupulous care in wedding ou'
suspects, are not infalliblc.

Paris, May ii. N. S.)-The
agreement to recognize Japan's
claims in the Shantung peninsula is
unsatisfactory to China" it was de-
clared today by DR.. Wellington Koo
Chinese ambassador to the United
States and leader of the Chinese dele
cation TO the peace conference.
'I do not believe that President
Wilson understands the real situa-
tion," continued the Chinese diplo-
mat. The Chinese are most un-
happy over the outcome"
Regardless of the declaration by
DR.. Koo, President Wilson is under

London, May IA statement on the
governments budget was made to the
house of commons today by Austen
Chamberlain, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer. For this financial year the

1.50O, ,0O0,00 pounds to meet which. on
the present basis of taxation he can
count on 36,O0O,0 600 pounds. including
the outstanding excess proats tax.
Therefore some new taxation is nee
essary and there has been much anx-
ious speculation as to what form this
would take. The expectation was that
the chancellor will attempt to raise one
billion pounds by taxation and the re-
mander by loans.
The expenditure for the current year

mated at E1.i34.O1 2, 600 The chancel-
lor estimated revenues in the current
year would he G1,159 $50, 900 without
new taxes. or 270 000,0 900 pounds more

Outcome of the Controversy

version of all German rights at
Kiaochau from Germany to Japan.
The terms include territorial SOW
ereignty and other rights. The Japa-
nese promised President Wilson that
this sovereignty will eventually be
returned to China while Japan retains
only economic rights. The japanese
demands were recognized in view of
the fact that Japanese troops had
taken the territory in question from
the German defenders by force of
arms.

concerned.
The complete arrangement was
adroitly managed. but the Chinese

II May Not BE Troubling
You During the Warm
Weather, But II Is Still in
Your Blood.

Catarrh is not only a dis
gushing disease, but is a dan
gerous one, and you should
never let up in your efforts to
get it out of your system UNI
til you have done it thorough
ly. Get rid of it. whatever
it costs you in trouble and
money.
There is no use in permit
ting yourself to be deceived.
Perhaps, like thousands of
others afflicted with Catarrh,
you are about ready to believe
that the disease is incurable,
and that you are doomed to
spend the remainder of your
days hawking and splitting,
with no relief in sight from
inflamed and stopped-up air
passages that make the days
miserable and the nights
sleepless.
OF course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re-
suits.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its
symptoms, is what you have
to cure. OF course you know
that when you are cured of
any disease its symptoms will
disappear.
Catarrh manifests itself by
inflammation of the delicate
membranes Of the nose and
air passages, which choke up
and make breathing very diff
ficult. To get rid of these
distressing effects you must
remove their cause.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-09-03
NOW IS A GOOD
TIME TO DRIVE
OUT CATARRH

Don't be misled into think
ing your Catarrh is gone.
The first touch of winter
weather will bring it back
with all Of its discomforts.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs. which direct
their attack against the ten
der and delicate membranes
of the nose and throat. These
germs cannot be reached by
sprays or douches, which, of
course, have no effect what
ever upon the blood.
Mild weather will aid the
treatment and this is an ex-
cellent time to thoroughly
cleanse the blood of the germs
of Catarrh and be forever rid
of the troublesome sprays and
douches that can only relieve
you for the time.
S. S. S. is a purely vege-
table remedy, made from
roots and herbs direct from
the forest. which combat
promptly disease germs or inn
purities in the blood. This
great remedy has been used
for more than fifty years,
with most satisfactory re-
suits. 1t has been successfully
used by those afflicted with
even the severest cases of
Catarrh. 1t relieves Catarrh
by treating the disease at its
source. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those
afflicted with Catarrh or
other blood diseases, we main
tain a medical department in
charge of a specialist skilled
in these diseases. If you will
write us fully, we will give
your case careful study, and
write you just what your own
individual case requires. No
charge is made for this SER
