MAN HAS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Il was told by our family physician
that could not live without an opera
ton, as my liver and gall sack were in
such a condition. I set the day to 60 to
the hospital, but then I saw the adver-
tisement of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy
Since taking it I am feeling like a two
year-old. I am sure I never could have
survived an operation" It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract
and allays the inflammation which causes
practically all stomach, liver and in
testinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Much Damage Done Near Vera
Cruz, Though No Estimate Of
Loss Is Available.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-Ten states
were shaken by the earthquake
which on Saturday night destroyed
at least two villages and caused
many deaths in the state OF Vera

northwesterly direction a distance
Of nearly five hundred miles and
from the Gulf OF Mexico to the
Pacific.
Reports received up to II O'Clock
last night indicated the center OF
the seismographic convulsion was
in the neighborhood of Mount ORR
zaba, volcanic situated about sew
enty miles west Of Vera Cruz. 1t
was in this neighborhood that the
most serious damage was done.
In the suburbs OF Orizaba, a city
10 miles south Of the volcano, the
shock was very severe, many citi-
zens being reported killed beneath
their wrecked houses.
While kilograms last night from
the state Of Vera Cruz stated that

JOFFRE PRAISES
STRATEGY OF Won
KLUCKM RETREAT

Geneva, Sunday, Jan. A trim
ute to Field Marshal Won Klnck,
commander of the right wing OF the
German army in its advance on
Paris in 1914. has been paid By
Marshal Joffre, who is visiting the
little town of Aigle, just west OF
ST. Maurice.
Mastery tactics in the retreat
from the Marne, while they did net
stem the tide OF defeat, saved the
German right wing from complete't
disaster" he said. "The enemv
was able to retire with only small
losses and 1t was Won Kluck who
prevented an overwhelming satas-
trophe."
While he strongly condemned the
German soldiers for their conduct
during the war, Marshal JoRre
stated he admired their bravery.

Claims q Difference.
In the brief filed in support of
! the application in the New Jersey
. case it was contended that the su-
preme court had jurisdiction and
that the prohibition amendment
was different from other constitu-
tional amendments in "that it as
sumes to regulate the private life
of citizens"
| If the procedure of enactment
was valid, the brief asserted, it fol-
lows that "a bare two-thirds ma

two houses in congress, and bare
| majority of the membership of
threefOurths of the state legis-
latures, can constitutionally adopt
any amendment to the constitution
which they may desire"
In other words" it continued, "a

their hands the constitution OF the
United States and the property, the
liberty and even the lives of no.

Denies There Is Case.
Solicitor General King in his
brief alleged that the state Of
Rhode Island failed to state facts
warranting original proceedings.
If the case is one that should be
instituted, he added, the federal
government should be named as
defendant but that could be done

NO ASSOCIATE
POWER DOING
BUSINESS NOW
Only the "Allies" Against Germany
and q. s. Representative Is
a Mere Spectator.

Paris, Jan. 5.-Hugh c. Wallace,
the American ambassador, was re-
ported yesterday to hive asked the
supreme council of the peace con-
ference to change the formula re-
ferring to the powers anticipating
in the council from the "allied and
associated powers" to the "allied
pow.rs.' This report was not
strictly correct, it was learned to-
day.
Ambassador Wallace, it is stated,
has not asked for the term "allied
and associated powers" but mere
ly requested that, when questions
arose which involved the United
States, be not used in documents
until he had time to get decision
from Washington on such Ques-
tons.
Fixes Up Note.
The supreme council this morn
ing finally decided on the wording
of the note to the German delega-
ton confirming the verbal state
ment regarding the indemnity for
the Scapa Flow sinkings made to
Baron Won Lersner by Secretary
Dutasta of the peace conference. 1t
is understood that this note virtu-
ally reduces the demand for repa-
ration from 100000 tons to about
275,000 tons OF dock and harbor
materials.
This note will be delivered at
the same time that the protocol ia
signed.
The signing Of the protocol and
the exchange of ratifications Of the
peace treaty now depend, 1t is stat
ed, upon the answer OF the Berlin
government to the German dele
gates on questions concerning the
arrangements for the plebiscites
provided for by the treaty. It ap-
pears certain that these important
informalities cannot take place to-
morrow, as originally intended.
Turkey Must Wait.
The question Of commercial re-
lations between Turkey and the
central powers after the exchange
OF ratiications Of the treaty of Yer
sailles was discussed by the coun-
ell at the morning session and il
was decided that the status created
by the armistice should continue
until peace was signed with Tur-
key. The armistice terms prohibit
such relations.
