that time no man has arisen who has been able to take the Iron Chancellor's place. The peace advances of the Germans in the last ten days seem to indicate, however, that the Teutons have really put some efficiency into their diplomacy. With the Somme advance checked, Roumania overrun, the Russian advance halted, the Kaiser has chosen an opportune time to launch a movement to inaugurate peace proposals. He has put the Allies on the defensive. If they turn down his proposals and decide to continue waging the war, they cannot object if the Teutons engage in ruthless and merciless policies of destruction. Germany is giving the Entente Powers an opportunity to terminate the war. It is true that the Kaiser has not unfolded the terms of peace, but this is not so essentially necessary at this time as is an early agreement to reach an understanding on which peace terms can be discussed. If the Allies turn a deaf ear to this pro-

Kennedy unwrapped the package which I had brought. From it he took a cedar box, oblong, with a sort of black disc fixed to an arm on the top. In the face of the box were two little t.nnro boles, with sides of cedar uhirh converged inward into the box, Tiiai.im a pair of little quadrangular pyiviuirti! holes which ended in a emi'll black circle in the interior.

Wriv Citv Government Fails?

City governments fail because they do not place competent men at the heads of departments, or, if they have competent men, do not pay them enough to make it worth while. One of the biggest utilities in Richmond is the Municipal light plant. Its superintendent, C. A. Kleinknecht receives $1,500 a year for managing the concern. This puts him, as far as salary is concerned, on a par with the chief engineer of the plant. Here is a case where city government fails. ICleinknecht's salary should be commensurate with the job he holds. He has a more important job by far than that of his chief engineer, yet the city administration does not pay him one cent more for the ability it takes to conduct his office. If the chief engineer is worth $1500 to the city, Kleinknecht is worth more money and the city should pay him more. The city cannot expect to keep good men in its departments if it does not pay them good salaries. Here's a case where the city is not playing fair.

The following has been submitted for publication: Toward what are the people of the United States drifting, unconsciously, perhaps, and slowly, but oh, so surely, a?d that through their representatives in the government, if their eyes are not soon opened to the coming danger? We are accustomed to speak of "Free America," of the liberty enjoyed by, our people, and to talk, rather boastingly, maybe, that our country is the refuge of the oppressed from all other countries, be they rich or poor, cultured or ignorant, skilled in mechanical works, in fanning, etc., or otherwise, in fact, the United Slates might be called the "Melting Pot" of the world. And it is good that it is o. It makes our people more truly democratic, more truly a Christian jeople. True democracy and Christianity go hand in hand. The great founder of our religion was a Democrat in the real sense of tftft word. He lived with the masses, He worked among, and for them. He appreciated riches only as they were made the true Democrat of today works for others' good for the uplift of the 6 own -trodden and the oppressed everywhere. And in that sense the United States might be called a Democratic republic. The danger referred to above is the bill in congress which permits those in authority, to draft into service in time of war, all able-bodied men between eighteen and forty-five years of age. Think of it. Conscription in this so-called free land. Even England, in the midst of war when recruits were badly needed, reluctantly adopted the plan. In her colonies, Australia refused it by 90,000 votes. The Canadian premier says that "under no circumstances will Canada consider it. "Yet there is an attempt to foist it upon the citizens of this republic. There are thousands of "conscientious objectors," I am glad to say in the United States, besides Friends, who are opposed to wars and- fighting, and on these, the consequences of the observance of this law would fall most disastrously. Fines, imprironmant, tortures and even death, will be their lot for living up to the principles for which the Pilgrim Fathers left comfortable homes, endeared friends and loved country, braving the dangers of an almost unknown sea, and the hardships of pioneer life, in the shape of starvation, battles with hostile Indians, etc., to establish freedom of conscience in their worship. And now after the lapse of these centuries are we, their descendants, willing to bow our heads, and allow the yoke to be placed upon our necks, and say,' in cringing tones, to our masters,! c I J try all r or m tm.jMt--!mi-uBMW"tr mm a w sis h ti fasv .1 for 50 weeks. for 50 weeks.

It's a perfect substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it's better, because its action is gentle instead of severe and irritating and it leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognize this and prescribe may-apple root (po dophyllin, tney call it) daily. Combined with four other stand ard, all-vegetable remedies, mayapple root may now be had at most any druggist's in convenient sugarcoated tablet form by asking for Sentanel Laxatives. If you forget the name, ask for the box that has the picture of the soldier on it. These tablets are small, easy to take and are really wonderful little performers. They quickly clean out the poisons that are causing you headache, constipation, sour stomach, biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath and coated tongue. They are mi'd. They never gripe.
