The corporal then had the detail rake
the surroundings with rifle fire, but
no one was seen or heard.
"Next morning tracks of men were
found ill the bushes and around ill
the vicinity, and also that morning
it was Jcarncd that the night prowl

an automobile. They were four men.
"There was a little more excite

all night lung' and were prepared to
give liny intruders a warm welcome,
but' none appeared.
"When the corporal ordered Ihe vi

"It Is manifest that no part of this
program can bo successfully carried
out unless tho restitution of the sta
tus quo ante furnishes a firm and
satisfactory basis for It. The object
of this war 1b to deliver tho free
peoples of the world from the men
ace and the actual power of a vast
military establishment, controlled by
an Irresponsible government which,
having secretly planned to dominate
tho world, proceeded to carry tho
plan out without regard cither to the
sacred obligations or treaty or the
long established practices and long
cherished principles of International
action and honor; which choso Its
own time for the war; delivered its
blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped
at no barrier cither of law or of
mercy; swept a whole continent with
in the tide of blood not the blood or
soldiers only, but the blood or Inno
cent women and children also, and or
the helpless poor; and now stands
balked, but not defentod, tho enoniy
ot rour-rirths or the world.

'This power "Is not the German
people. It Is no business ot ours
how that great peoplo came under Its
control or submitted with lompornry

hut It is our hiisinoss to see to it that
the history or the rest of the world
Is no longer loft to Its handling.
'To deal with such a power by
way of peace upon tho plan proposed
by Ills Ilolinoss, tho popo would, so
fnr as we can soe, Involve recuper
ation or Its strongth and A renewal or
Its policy; would mnko It necessary
to create a hostile combination or na

are Its Instruments; and would result
In abandoning tho new-born Russia
to tho intrigue, tho manifold subtle
interference., and the certain counter
revolution which would be attempted
by all the' malign Influences to which
tho Gorman government has ot lato
accustomed tho world.

Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company Publishes Only
Genuine Ones.
The testimonials published by the

come unsolicited. Before they are used
the Company takes great care to inform
itself about the writer. Never know
ingly, has it published an untruthful
letter, never is a letter published with
out written consent signed by the writer.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters is that Lydia E. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain nnd illness.
It has relieved women from somo of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossiblo for any woman who
is well and who
has never suffered
to realise how these
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to heal th ;
andtheirkoendosire
to help other women

SENATE DEFEATS
5 PER CENT TAX
(Continued from page 1.)
there are soveral that ought to be left
out," he added, and declared that
while tho present second-class postal
rates were a subsidy and should be
readjusted, It should not be with
drawn all at tho same time. He urged
the adoption of the McKellar amend
ment and opposed all others.
Senator Smith of Georgia also de
clared the 5 per cent tax on publish
ers unjust. Statistics show, he said,
that It costs tho government one cent
a pound to carry newspapers 250
miles, and magazines one cent a
pound for 50 miles. For that reason,
ho said, It was unfair to place a tax
of one-quarter cent on newspapers
where the principal loss results from
transporting magazines,
One-Cent ltnto for ilOO Stiles.
Senator McKellar's second-class
postage provision tor a one-cent rate
within 300 miles and graduated in
creases beyond,' was accepted, 40 to
35, by the Benate as a substitute tor
the bill's quarter-cent increase clause.
It is subject to rinal action, however,
on Senator Weeks' motion to strike
out all publishers' taxes.
Tho McKellar amendment pro
vides that arter January 1, 1918, sec-ond-claBS
postage shall be graduated
by a zone system beyond the 300-mile
limit trom 2 to 6 cents a pound. An
amendment by Senator Sterling add
ed exempts farm and religious papers
and all other periodicals.
Under the McKellar amendment
$12,000,000 additional revenue would
be received.
The Kennte without debate or ob
jection struck out the house zone
provision for periodical postage in
crease and proceeded to the finance
committee's clause for a special tux
on publishers' incomes. . ;.!
Tho section of the wur tax bill
imposing a five per cent special tax
on publishers' incomes nnd designed
to raise $7,f00,000 was stricken out
of the measure late today by the
senate by a viva, voce vote.
