NO ILLUSION AS
TO EXTENT OF
HUNS DEFEAT
Won Brockdroff Rantzau
Refuses to Take All of
Blame for War.

Versailles, May Count Won
Brockdorff Rautzau, head of the
German delegation speaking in Ger
man, said:
Gentlemen: We are deeply im-
pressed with the sublime task which
has brought us hither to give dur
able peace to the world. We are un-
der no illusions as to the extent OF
our defeat and the degree of our want
of power We know that the power
of the German arms is broken. We
know the power of the hatred which
we encounter here, and We have heard
the passionate demand that the van
quishers may make us pay as the van
quished, and shall punish those who
are worthy of being punished.
ut is demanded from us that we
shall confess ourselves to be the
only ones guilty of the war. Such a
confession in my mouth would be a
lie. We are far from declining any
responsibility that this great war OF
the world has come to pass and that
, il was made in the way in which II
: was made. The attitude of the former
German government at the Hague
peace conference, its actions and
omissions in the tragic ~ days of July
have certainly contributed to the dis
aster. But we energetically deny that
! Germany and its people, who's were
convinced that they were making wal
of defense, were alone guilty.
| Nobody will want to contend that
the disaster took it's course only in
the disastrous moment when the sue
cessor to the throne of Austria-Hun-
gary fell the victim OF murderous
hands. In the last so years, the i'm
perialism of all the European states
has chronically poisoned the interna
tional situation. The policy of retalia.
ton and the policy Of expansion ant
the disregard of the rights of peoples
to determine their own destiny have
contributed to the illness of Europe
which saw its crisis in the worlt
war"

CHAPERONES
RE-APPEARING
IN LONDON

Correspondence Of Associated Press)
London, April 1.-The chaperone is
re-appearing in London, after more
than four years Of absence because
of the war; American women. the
society leaders say, are responsible,
because they want. to see London. and
independent and self reliant as they
are, they do not want to see it with
out the assurance they will be we'll
chaperoned.
The chaperOne, once we'll estab-
lished institution in England, lost her
calling when women went in for war
work. Many young girl who had
never ventured from home without
the guiding hand OF chaperone, took
to driving an ambulance. while 9th
ers were installed in the "Waacs.
the RATS" or some one Of the many
other women's organizations which
had to do with the prosecution OF the
war; These vigorous young women
had no use for chaperones.
The American women who want
chaperones also are war workers,
Red Cross, Young Women's Christian
Association aids and others who are
here They, too, are self reliant and
independent. but when they doff their
uniforms and go out to see London
or spend part of their very little
leisure time in the gaieties of the city,
they feel they ought to subscribe to
the conventions.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
: KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts il Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles
You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the Kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy: take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine SO it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia- water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications. adv.

EVERY FARMER

There was time in the lean years
OF farming when many farmers had

cause he knew it had the genuine
value that made it cheaper in the
long run.
The automobile is to-day part of
the standard equipment of every
farmer. Cars of the best makes dot

considered by the auto salesman to
be a most discriminating buyer. He
is a man used to doing things himself.

MANY KILLED IN

Brussels, Tuesday, May Ga de-

Many houses in the neighborhood
have completely collapsed and win
dows and roofs for two miles around
the scene of the explosions have been
shattered. This is especially the case
at Hoeylaert and neighboring towns,
where there are thousands of
hot houses. The movement of trains
over the r-Luxemburg line has
been interrupted.
1t is reported that while workmen
were unloading wagon filled with
shells detonator exploded in the
hands of German prisoner setting
fire to the ammunition boxes. After
the explosion, these German prison.
ers broke the barbed wire Gordon sur

TO AVOID FURTHER
CLUT ON THE MARKET

1t has been suggested that some
plan be perfected looking to the well
fare of the farmers--the tobacco
growers of this section ---on the
Greeneville tobacco market after the
season. again opens the first of the
year. 1t seems very apparent that
it is going to be necessary to get the
farmers to enter into some agreement
to avoid flooding the local warehouses
again with tobacco. How would it
do to allow all the districts of the
county to enter into drawing by
number, placing their numbers in a
hat and each number being drawn
by some disinterested blindfolded
person. Then each district be al.
lowed to sell its tobacco as the num-
bers are drawn. This is merely sugJ
gested. 1t strikes me it would be
fair to all, and certainly would do
much to stimulate prices on the mar
ket during the remaining days of the
season here.
We would be glad to hear from
others on the subject through the
columns of The Daily Sun.
