WILSON ASSESSES
OPINIONS ON PEACE
rAk,Nc ADVANTAGE OF THE OP-
PORTUNITY TO GAIN I'M oHmA-
TON AT FIRST HAND.
President is Satisfied That the People
of France and Great Britain Are
Largely in Accord With His
Principles.

Paris,-Definite plans for the peace
conference are not shaping as rapidly
as some of the American commission
ers expected. Meanwhile President
Wilson is taking advantage of the OPP
portunity to assess public opinion In
France, and, incidentally, in Great Brit
ain. His advisers say that he Is ell
tirely satisfied that these people are
largely in accord with the principles
he has announced as necessary to a
durable peace.
The members of the American mis-
sion are employing their time before
the peace delegates from the various
countries actually assemble in series
of informal conference, which eventu-
ally will include representative OF
each of the entente belligerents. Neu-
trail states will not come into these dis
cuSSiOns.
The feeling among all the entente
conferees is that the making of peace
should be their first task, so that they
may determine upon the broad outlines
of league of nations which. later,
representatives of neutral countries
will assist in completing.
While the American commissioners
are holding these informal exchanges,
which are designed to clear up diver
gencies Of opinion, the president is con-
stantly giving the closest attention to
immediate problems. He is receiving
reports from the United States, from
American diplomatic agencies through
out the world, and from the group Of
investigators brought here for the pur-
pose of studying the many special prob
lens which will arise. These investiga-
tors are continuing their studies with
the advantage now Of being on the
ground and in intimate contact with
original sources Of information.
The president may change the pro-
| gram of his movements while awaiting
the opening of the conference. 1t was
not supposed until Thursday that he
would visit England before the new
year, but he has received urgent invi-
tations to come soon.

Carlisle, Pa.-Vice-President Mar

tons now under discussion in cOnnec-

WILSON TAKES UP
RUSSIAN PROBLEMS
EFFORTS TO Determine DEFL
MITE POLICY FOR UNITED
STATES AND HER ALLIES.
Attitude to Be Adopted by Victorious
Nations Thought to Be One
Of the Most Serious
Items.

WashingtOn.-The Russian problem
already has been taken up by Presl-
dent Wilson with French statesmen,
it was learned here Tuesday, and the
determination of a definite policy on
which all the allied countries and the
United States may agree will be one
of the first things undertaken at the
preliminary meetings which are to
precede the peace conference.
.Russia's plight and. the attitude to
be adopted by the victorious associated
nations is recognized as one of the
most serious problems of the confer
ence. Every proposed solution so far
is said to have been blocked by the
unanswered question of who is quail
fed to speak for the Russian people.
The government at Omsk, of which
the United States and other govern
ments expected much, is now in the
hands of a dictator and split into fac.
tons. The entente nations have not
given up hope that the Omsk authOri-
ties may yet evolve stable form of
government for Russia, but this has
not been accomplished now and none
of the allied governments has recOg-
nized the Omsk regime officially, az
though all Of them are dealing with
Russian representatives who are in
close touch with Admiral KOlchak and
his government.
Prince Lvoff. who was premier in
the Kerensky cabinet and who has de-
voted most of his life to the develop
ment of the zemstvo system in Russia,
and Boris Bahkmetieff, Russian am
bassador in Washington, appointed by
Kerensky, as well as Professor Paul
Milukoff, Kerensky's minister of for
eign affairs, are on their way to Paris
or already there with other prOminen,
Russians to do whatever they can to
aid the allies in the solution Of the
Russian problem. But whether they
represent the people of Russia at this
time is question which 1t privately is
admitted can not be answered here.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicanto for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
hes been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmcr's Swamp-R Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success,
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and We would ad.

The program will be submitted next

new and second hand furniture store. OF
John Arbes. AS may be seen from the
picture accompanying this article it is
a very, good boxing structure, repre-
senting a simple but very becoming
style OF d modern architecture. 1t is
built of granite finished cement blocks
of different sizes, manufactured by
Safert & Gugisberg, which give it a
polished and refined appearance.
The north side offers a good view of
the entire length Of the building which
is IS feet. The front measures 25 feet.
Two Departments
The entire lower floor having a space
Of more than $3.50 square feet, is used
for store purposes. The larger front
part, with a big show window, contains
new and a few old furniture articles Of
all descriptions, while in the rear part
we find many pieces of second hand
furniture. Here Mr.. Arbes also has his
workshop where he puts old furnitre
into shape again and where ne makes such
articles look like new.
The second floor is used as living
quarters by the Arbes family.
Theatre Re-Decorated
A gain Of more than one hundred
seats has been made by the enlargement
of the American Theatre on South
Minnesota street. The old stage was
removed during the summer months,
frightening the auditorium by about
Is feet. The interior of the show hou e
has been entirely remo1eled according
to the plans of Chas. Hers, local archi-
tect. A new cement floor was laid and
the ceiling and walls plastered and
decorated in attractive colors. The
ceiling is white to give the eight indirect
lights hanging down from it a strong
reflection, while the walls are painted
in green and blue, dull finish, the blue
panels being bordered by wide gold
stripes. The total impression is en-
cehand by eight torch lights, four on
each side wall. -..
