The most rigid steps have been taken to separate neutral Switzerland from Upper Alsace. Along tne border be tween the two. two lines of barbed wire fencing have been built, con stantly patrolled by soldiers to shoot persons attempting to get pat. The two fences, both of which, of course, are on Alsatian territory, en close a- so-called "neutral" strip of land, into which only a limited number of persons with the proper passes are allowed to enter at specified times of the day. The soldiers are ordered to shoot anyone who comes within 20 yards of the barbed wire. Nothing may pass from north to outh; that Is. from Alsace to Switzer land. From 8 !A. M. to 5 P. M.. how ever, food from Switzerland may be Admitted into Alsace. The senders must deposit It with the guards at the barbed-wire nearest the Swiss border, who in turn send it on beyond the parallel fence and distribute it to the consignees. Attempts to smuggle let ters across are punishable with death. RAINIER'S VALUE "PRAISED Jleprcsentativc I'Mtzgerald, ot New York, AdTOcates Good Roads. TACOMA, Wash., April 18.

HORRORS OF WAR SEEN Miss Drexcl on Way to Conference at The Hague Avers Possibili ties ot Xew Conflict Al ready Are Considered. NEW TORK, April 18. Miss Con stance Drexel, an American) girl who was in France with her parents at the time war broke out, like many other American girls and women, immediate ly entered the relief ranks by nursing the wounded. In the hospital at Deau ville she saw, more vividly than can be described, the horrors of war. She saw the men whom she had nursed and helped to snatch from the brink of the grave go hobbling back fearlessly and bravely to the tiring line when dis charged as cured. The self-sacrificing American women who, as ministering angels, have snatched so many of the wounded men back from the graves are looked upon by the women of Europe as the great est possible -factor In bringing about peace. Peace Conference Called. In connection with this, the Dutch women have arranged a peace confer ence at The Hague for April 28. 29 and 30, and have invited delegates from every neutral and belligerent country. Miss Drexel sailed with the second delegation of American women which left April 13 aboard the steamship Nordham, of the Holland-American line. In the party was Jane Addams, of Hull House. Chicago, who heads the delega tion of American women and who will preside at the peace conference. Already, says Miss Drexel, the nations are considering the possibilities of an other war when this one is over, as is attested by a proposition that In the event of another war there should be free commerce. .Men Should Help, Is Assertert- Women, being the greatest sufferers In times of war, should be the dominat ing factor in the great movement for peace, she says. This movement, started by women, should not be theirs exclusively, but should be taken up by men of every nation those who are engaged in the peaceful pursuits and those who are on the firing line or helpless in the field hospitals at the front, she declares. "Let there be peace" is the plea of Miss Drexel, who is related to the famous Drexel family. Though born in America, Miss Drexel, who is well known in this city and Paris, has spent most of her life abroad. SCOUTS FEAR FOR AMERICA (Continued From First Page.) takable marks of the thinker about his head; iron gray of hair and beard, forceful of manner Bernhardt is a man of strong personality and still has about him the appearance and air of the typical, dashing cavalry officer. Not being at the front, he was in the now rarely seen blue uniform, the white and black ribbon of the Iron Cross his only decoration. General la on Retired Lint. Retiring five years ago, he devoted himself to writing. Offering his serv ices at the outbreak of the war, he was made "Stellvertretender Command-erender-General," or Acting Commander-General in Posen. where he received me. General von Bernhardt denied emphatically that he had any thing to apologize for in his books, and there was nothing apologetic in his tone at any time. "Events have fully sustained what I've written." said he. "I saw 'from the political constellation of Europe that war would be forced upon ua; that it was inevitable, and as far as we were concerned, unavoidable. I pointed this out in plain language. I wanted to arouse our people to a realization of the imperative necessity for properly Laming and preparing as - defensive C opyrlght Underwood & Underwood. 31ISS COXSTASCE 11RX1SL, measures. I believe that I did my country a service. Hasn't much that I wrote come true? "Wo didn't want this war, despite all that has been said to the contrary abroad. I've never advocated nor writ ten of .an aggressive policy toward England." War Is Terrible School. General Von Bernhardt denied that his books had done Germany more harm than good, or that few people in the country were of his mind. "It has been disproved by many letters I have received," he said. He admitted that his books had had greater circulation in America and England than in Ger many, and that they had been used as propaganda against Germany. "That is-because the words of vital passages were incorrectly translated, and in some instances wilfully dis torted," said he. "They misinterpreted me. lor instance. In the English copy of my booklet, 'Our Future End," the English title was 'Great Britain Ger many's Vassal." My book, 'Germany and the Next War,' was rendered, 'How Germany Makes War.' That's done to prejudice the reader's mind at the very start." Discussing the charge that he is a radical militarist and glorifies war, the General said: "I am not and never have been an advocate of war for war's sake. I take the standpoint of historical fact. War is a fiery cru cible, a terrible training school through which the world has grown better. War makes for developing and main taining the power of a people; it cre ates a consciousness and a spirit of freedom and independence through that power. War is a terrible thing, a national calamity as seen from the standpoint of the individual, but an evil that has not been without some good. Panama Affair Is Cited. "Don't misunderstand me. All wars are not moral wars, or for high moral principles. There comes a time when a nation must go to war. Would you Americans say that your war of 1775 against England was not a good war? that that of 1812 was not for a moral principle productive of good? That 1861 was not a war for a moral prin ciple of human freedom, by which the entire world benefited? "Could the moral principles Involved in your wars have been as lastingly and effectively settled in any other way? Your seizure of Panama was only justifiable on the ground that the fu ture interests of the American people are higher and greater than the ab stract principles of international law."

Twenty-two Illinois Incorporated cities or villages will vote on the local op tion question Tuesday. More than 150 saloons are involved arid the indica tions are that the entire 150 will be wiped out.

The township contains both Auburn and Thayer, incorporated mu nicipalities. Because of the wet vote In Thayer Auburn is wet under the township vote.

Jt Is a com bination that provokes St. Vitus' dam e. If your child Is thin and pale, list less. Inattentive, has a fliltle appetite and is unable to stand ptill or sit still, you must remember that health is even more important than education. See to it at once that the patient does not overstudy, gets at least two hours of out-of-door exercise every day, sleeps ten hours out of every twenty-four and takes a non-alcohol;a tonio like Dr. Williams' pink Pills until the color returns to cheeks and lips and the appetite becomes normal. For glowing children who become pale and thin Dr. imams' Pink Pills are not only safe but In the (real ma jority of cases they are the very best tonic that can be taken.
