 London .-Englisnmen, remembering their countrys story for the past quarter of century are anxiousy asking themselves whether the recent mission of Vis count Halifax to Germany will be the prelude to war just as was the mission of Vscount Haldane in 1912
 Then under Kaiser, as now under dictator, Ger many was in dangerous mood and had all Europe 1n tension. N
 Then as now, Germany, herself allied with strong military powers, anxious to have England isolate herself In 1912 Germanys allies were Austria Hun gary and Italy Today they Italy and Japan. Ger many did not like England's link-up with France in 1912 any more than she does today especially as France is allied with Russia of the Soviets today as shewas then allied with Russia of the Czars German Naval Building Vexed England i'm 1912
 Then as now, there was burning question between Germany and England. In 1912 Germany had Eng land worried by her enormous naval building program seeming to challenge British supremacy at sea. To- day Germany has England worried by her insistent demands that former African colonies be returned to her. 2. In 1912 viscount Haldane. very distinguished man, was sent to Berlin to explore the situation just as recently Lord Halifax another distinguished man, has been exploring" the situation. Haldane faced Kaiser wilhelm II and failed. Halifax has just been facing Hitler and nobody knows yet how completely he has succeeded or failed.
 In 1912 the Germans were building up great war

ITS NEWS NOW 1 WHEN PREMIER
 SUFFERS GOUT
Chamberlain Victim Like Great Ministers of 100
 Years Ago
BY DAN ROGERS United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Dec. 2 = (UP) = Neville Chamberlain, prime minister of Great Britain, is afflicted with gout. Because of 8 severe attack. he was unable to appear when King George VI opened his first Parliament, or to make the in- portant annual prime minister's speech" in the House of Commons.
 That is news today, but as one British writer commented "a hundred years ago it would have been news if we had a prime min ister who was free from gout."
 Lord Burghley, the great prime minister of the Virgin Queen, suf- fered severely from gout. So did the great statesman, the Earl of Chatham, the elder Pitt.
 Drove Pitt to Frenzy
 Gout drove Pitt to such frenzies that for days at a time he would lock himself away from his family in a solitary room. His meals, when he could eat. were passed through a hatch in the door. The room and door may still be seen at Pitt House. Hanstead. ~
 His son, William Pitt the young CT, inherited the disease. Charles James Fox, Horace Walpole, the fourth Earl of Oxford, and Sydney Smith. the essayist, were other sufferers.
 Smith wrote of gout:
 T feel as If were walking on my eyeballs." At another time he wrote: Tt seems as if the stomach fell down to the feet"
 Centers in Great Toe
 Gout is an excruciating pain in the cihef joint of the great toe which throbS, cuts and stabs. The joint swells and becomes purple: the slightest movement Is agony. Nothing seems to bring relief. The attack must wear itself out, and it may last few days or weeks at time. 'a.
 The trouble is caused by an ex- cess of uric acid in the blood. Its cure, or rather treatment, is diet ing. The actual trouble is Irritation caused by deposits of uric acid and It's sodium salt in the joint tissues. Why this deposit centers on the great toe is a mystery.
 In the days of the treilcherinan at groaning tables, when 1t was usual to drink three or four bot ties of port after Q huge meal. gout was common. With the decline of such heavy eating and drinking, physicians first realized that not all gout came tout of a bottle," and the phrase "poor mans gout" was born. Now only the i1on- alcoholic variety is said to exist.

machine The situation became so threatening that the British government decided to send Lord Haldane
 "a Scotsman who was equally distinguished as states man, lawyer and philoscpheron special mission to Berlin. Haldane brought back to London the definite news that his mission had failed The Kaiser and his men were determined upon the building of three new battleShips the creation of third battle squadron and great increase in enstments The international raeelin armaments then began in earnest
 Haldanes Efforts Were .SGaa
 Belittled Until End of War
 When the war broke out in 1914, Lord Haldane tn- justly fell under a cloud. His Berlin mission had failed Sensational papers claimed he had said Ger many was his spiritual honle He was treated almost as if he were traitor. He was bounded out of the cabinet He lived to the day when Lord Haig tri- upant leader of the British armies in France paid him tribute as the greatest Minister for War England ever had and the who largely made Engands tri- umptl possible. Later, he became Lord Chancellor in the Socialist government of the late Premier Ramsay Macdonald ,.'|
 Lord Halifax who lately undertook second his- tory-naking mission to Gemrany, has hit the high spots in life for most of his career Son and heir Of the second Lord Halifax, he elected to Parliament in 19lO served in the World War with distinction, be- came Undersecretary for Colonies in 1921 and success svey Minister for Education and Minister for Agri- culture In 1928-31 he held the great post of Viceroy of India. Since then he has been Minister of Educa"
 on Minister of War and is at present in the cabinet as Lord Privy Seal.

PARENTS

The most trying tune Of all mar Fiage usually comes after the first year.
 When the babies begin 10 arrive, here are a boy and girl, for usual- ly these parents are young, who have lived in a world to themselves. Now all that is changed.
 They could keep themselves up, each for the other, in appearance and temper. Mary looked fresh as a daisy for John each evening when he came home. The house was dainty and restful for his jeded nerves.
 John, in turn, had cash for new shirts and ties, and could blow himself to a new suit, if his hon. eymoon clothes didn't last.
 There could be a party now and then, or & jaunt to club on pay night.
 Now comes Junior.
 A New Era Begins
 Just at first, in the flush of their new thrill over having company, crib size. John and Mary do not notice that new era has begun for them. Their idea Is that all will be as before, plus Junior.
 But gradually John realizes that Mary has no time for him any more. That she is entirely differ ent from the blythe sweetheart of yore.
 Perhaps meals arc sketchy and irregular and the dishes never seem to be out of sight. The house is filtered with baby things, and to make matters worse, Junior is one of these small males with ltisty lungs and collie.
 Mary, on her side, Is pretty tired. She thinks John should help more. She also thinks he should make more money. There isn't c decent rag in her closet, and she's tired looking at Johns hair, which now goes too long between visits to the barber.
 Both of them need things, but the hospital bill isn't quite cleaned up. And the new bed and buzz gy have cost money. The milk bills are enormous.
 .uYhat is this thing we've gotten into, called happy marriage?" they brood. Junior is a darling, but we're people after all, and love life and nice things. Where is romance? Where is excitement?"
 Talk Matters Over
 It takes character and patience to survive these years of child bearing. The old days won't come back, but the new ones will con- tinue to be richer and sweeter if the Johns and Marys of the world with their new kingdoms to en- joy, would sit dowp, their arms around each other. and be frank.
 To talk 1t all out, to plan q cana1aign of helpfulness and coop eraticn, rather than continuing in secret bitterness will save many nnany heartaches It b ct this lime that much future trouble has it's beginning, when each begins to criticize the other.
