GERMAN CHANCELLOR scoFFs
At PARIS FOR FEARS OF
INVASION.
war IS NOT POSSIBLE
PLAN UNDERSTOOD As PRoVlD.
ING A TRUCE FOR FROM
As TO 60 YEARS.

Berlin. Chancellor CunOs an
nouncement Of the rejection by France
of his offer of an unti-war pact
brought considerable comment from
official circles, which, however, con-
fined themselves to the question OF
Germany's motives in making the Of
fer.
The world should now be convinced,
they say, that Germany harbors no
Ideas of revenge and that she Is truly
a democracy, being content to leave
the decision Of war or peace to a pop
ular referendum, as provided in the
proposed pact.
Whether the government considers
Polncare's rejection Of the plan as
final and as disposing Of further ef.
forts in this direction could not be ad-
duced from informal inquiries and Of
ficIals were apparently awaiting the
French reaction to Cuno's announce
ment.
The French attitude is viewed in
some quarters in Berlin as being
prompted by the conviction that such
q pact would definitely restrict
Frances freedom of action in cOnnec-
ton with reparations because 1t would
prevent her from imposing physical
sanctions or invading fresh German
territory.
IN proposing this truce to France,
the Cuno government was speaking
for the German people as whole"
said a leading foreign office official.
The German government, he added,
was weary Of the incessant aspersIOns
on its integrity and desired to give
tangible proof Of the sentiments Of
the German people and incidentally
effected an opportunity for recipro-
cal expression by proposing a joint
pledge OF good faith to France
Alluding to what he called the ab-
surd and preposterous idea that the
reactionary element In Germany was
arming for an invasion Of France, this
official declared that such charges
suggested the suspicion that they
were inspired to keep militarism alive
elsewhere.
I'VE have no army and no navy"
he said. "Does any sane man sup
pose we could even prepare for mod
ern warfare with our currency sys.
TEN wrecked almost beyond repair,
our exchequer pretty well depleted,
our credit shattered, and with an in.
ternal economic and food situation
that faces collapse"
IF any further evidence were need
Ell to dispel such martial visions, a
plebiscite would swiftly prove the
German attitude toward war for the
next decade"
Supplementing Chancellor Cunos
statement it was declared that the
German plan should be understood as
providing truce for a period of from
As TO 60 years and not for the indefl-
mite time indicated by the word gen.
Grafton"
Although no further official infor.
nation was forthcoming, the lmpres.
sion prevails that Cuno's move was
carefully planned in advance and that
he even apprlsed the Washington
government of his proposed pact. II
Is also generally assumed that the
United States would have been desig.
rated as the custodian Of the non-war
pledge in the event of its ratification

A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS

FAMOUS
Doctor R. V. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only success
full physician, but also profound
student Of the medicinal qualities OF
Natures remedies, roots and herbs,
and by close observation of the meth
ods used by the Indians, he discovered
their great remedial qualities, espe-
cially for weaknesses Of women, and
after careful preparation succeeded In
giving to the world remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half a century. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still In great
demand, while many other 80 called
"cure-alls" have come and, gone. The
reason for its phenomenal success Ia
because Of its absolute purity, and Pr, ,
Pierce's high standing as an honofed
citizen Of Buffalo Is a guarantee Of all
that is claimed for the Favorite Pre-
scription as a regulator for the Ills
peculiar to women.
