FRENCH POWER PROHIBITS WAR, SAYS SPEAKER Germany Dares Not Fight. Asserts Lees-Smith at Town Hall. Germany dares not make war now because of the overwhelming military supremacy of Fiance, declared H. B. Lees-Smith, former member of the British cabinet, before the last Town Hall audience of the season at the Columbia Club today. "Peace is being kept in Europe today," the speaker said." because of the military power of France. "I do not think that Adolf Hitler will make war. He is more moderate today than he was ten days ago. Hitler knows that if he made war now he would be smashed like an egg hit with a hammer. Would Stay Forever "France would cross the Rhine on the first pretense. She would seize it and stay there for the next 100 years. Lees-Smith asserted that England does not want European peace secured by the military position - of France, and that the new Britsh peace program is based on that factor. "England," he said, ‘‘gradually has recongized certain facts and asks questions. Hew long is the peace of Europe to be maintained by the French army? Pleads for Peace Spirit "We now must bring to Europe a spirit of peace instead of a spirit of war ” Lees-Smith maintained that it is folly to talk disarmament before correcting the "legitimate grievances of the Treaty of Versailles.” Only after revision of the treaty can peace in Europe be assured and armies reduced, he said.

STEP out tomorrow morning with the fresh buoyancy and briskness that comes from a clean intestinal tract. Syrup Pepsin—a doctor's prescription for the bowels—will help you do tins. Thi., compound of fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other pure ingredients will clean you cut thoroughly—without griping, sickening or discomfort. Poisons absorbed into the system from souring waste in the bowels, cause that dull, headachy, sluggish, bilious condition: coat the tongue: foul the breath; sap energy, strength and nerve-force. A little of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly. i n a hurry. The difference it will make in your feelings over night will prove it; merit to you. Dr. Caldwell studied bowel troubles for forty-seven years. This long experience enabled him to make his prescription just what men, women, old people and children need to make their bowels help themselves. Its natural, mild, thorough action and its pleasant taste commend it to everyone. That's why "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin." as it is called, is the most popular laxative drugstores sell.—Advertisement.
