after a party In the st. Francis
Hotel. may rest In peace In her lone
ly grave, and hcT past, no matter
what II may have been, will not b
disinterred to win or lose a case. 4.
SO says the State OF Californis
through its district attorney, Matthew
Brady And so says the double-chinned
clown OF the movies, Roscoe g
Fatty) Arbuckle, through his at
torneys.
ArbuckIe To Trial Monday.
Arbuckle goes TO trial in the Gu
perior court Monday morning charged
with manslaughter In connection with
Miss Rappe's death. and though thu
trial promises TO be most sensa tional
both sides have declared they viii
respect the dead. This, however. IL
the only point on which both sides
agree.
Brady said he had received a teie
gram from a detective agency in
Chicago regarding an episode in ths
Congress Hotel in which Arbuckh
figured.
'It seems" said Brady, that there
was a woman in the case. and a bell
boy who was beaten up"
Attempt to Prejudice Charged.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that Brady made his statement about
the Congress Hotel incident solely as
an attempt TO prejudice the minds OF
the jury panel"
Five witnesses arrived from Los
Angeles ready to testify. Among
them are two trainers Of the Los
Angeles Athletic Club and a phys.
ician. The State expects to show
through them that Miss Rappe was
in good physical condition at the time
Of the party that caused her death.
The defense has to offer the deposi'
tions of a doctor and two nurses In
Chicago to show she had weakened

that caused her death.

DR.. William C. Fowler. District
Health officer. has issued warning
to all persons with throat affections
not to try home remedies but to con-
suit a physician at once. The reason

Der Of cases Of diphtheria in the city.

five deaths from diphtheria in the
city, and seven deaths since the first
of the month. DR.. Fowler said that
while there was nothing alarming In
the number Of deaths that 1t was an
unusual condition, and only watchful-

attain the aims OF the conference.
Britain Makes No Response.
The conference adjourned at 1879
without Great Britain having male
any response TO the American pro-
posals.
Thus the conference adjourned

II was explained that brief

chairmanship OF the conference, was

the opening session and she would
make no further statement at this
time.

He expressed the appreciation OF
Holland for being invited TO participate
IN the conference and said his country

Lodge Gets Laugh.
At the suggestion OF Secretary
Hughes, Senator Lodge arose and,

in which he has 80 often moved an

ISecretary Hughes again rose. He
said merely:

States"
The audience rose and applauded.
The President launched immedi-

applause coming when the President

Secretary Hughes. who followed

Speech Like BombsheIl.
Secretary Hughes finished his his
tory-making speech at 1895. There
was no immediate response from any

Inspired by Same Motive.
I believe that when We generalize
the motives that took the youths who
died In the great war out Of the light
OF life and took them out at precisely
the age when life In most desirsble. we
shall find that the dominating purpose
was certainly no narrow devotion to
the "glory" or Expansion" Of any
particular country, but a wide-spirited
hostility to wrong and oppression.
That is clearly shown by the nature
Of the appeals that were made In
every country to sustain the spirit of
it's soldiers. II national glory and pa.
triotism had been the ruling motive
Of these young men, then manifestly
their propagandas would have con.
cerned themselves mainly with ns.
tional honor and flag idolatry. But
they did not do so.
Nowadays flags fly better on
parades and stoop fronts than on
battle fields. The war propagandas
dwelt steadily and insistently upon
the wickedness and unrighteousness
of the enemy. upon the dangers OF
being overwhelmed by foreign
tyranny and particularly upon the
fact that the enemy had planned and
made the war. These boys fought
best on that--everywhers.
SO far as the common men In
every belligerent country went, there
fore, the great war was war against
wrong, against force. against war
itself. Whatever II was In the
thoughts Of the diplomatists. II was

the Great War, in the minds Of the
Germans and Russians who fought %
stoutly. quite as much as the Amert.
cans. British. French or Italians. the
war was a war to end war.
And that marks our obligation.
Insult To Dead.
Every speech that is made beside
the graves Of these unknown soldiers
who lie now in the comradeship OF
youthful death. every speech which
exalts patriotism above peace, which
hints at reparations and revenges.
which cries for mean alliances to sus-
tain the traditions of the conflict.
which exalts national security over
the common welfare, which wags the
glorious flag" Of this nation or that
in the face Of the universal courage
and tragedy of mankind. is an insult
and an outrage upon the dead youth
who lies below.
He sought justice and law in the
world. as he conceived these things,
and whoever approaches his resting
place unprepared to serve the estab-
lishment Of a world law and world
justice, breathing the vulgar cants
and catchwords of a patriotism out
worn and Of conflicts that he died to
end, commits a monstrous sacrilege
and sins against all mankind.

affecting Russian interests, and the
Soviet still holds Siberia to be part OF
Russia.
The Siberian question has been COM
plicated by the fact that Japan has
occupied with troops the great port
of Vladivostok, the eastern terminus
of the Trans.Siberian railway and the
chief Siberian city on the Pacific.
Japan, while promising to withdraw
her troops when a stable govern
ment can take hold at Vlakivostok and
administer affairs" has. on the con-
trary. extended her zone of military
occupation north. south, and west OF
Vladivostok
1t is the policy of the United States
not to open any of the German prob
lens in Europe covered by the treaty
OF Versailles, although discussion Of
limitation OF land armament naturally
would cover Europe as well as Asia
and America.
Debt Problem Avoided.
One important angle of the confer
ence lies in the possibility that the
powers might take up the question of
international war debts. either d.
rectly or indirectly. That, however,
Is believed to be most unlikely. TIL ,

came here with the hope that allied

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
scon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to Dr.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. T., for sample bottle. When
writing Je sure and mention this paper.
