THE territorial donuuids of Oroooo at the yioaee etmfer
eneo are a sample of the rapaeity that lias kept the
Balkans in turmoil for centuries. Oreeee asks for 'lhraee
and Constantinople, part of Asia Minor and most of the
islands in the eastern Aleditorranean nud Adriatic, inelud
ing those promised I iuhv s
Greece, however did but little fighting, suffered but
little by the war and under Constantine, was of great as
sistance to the Germaus. Only in the closing campaign,
did Greek military assistance materialize.
Similar claims for territory will probably be presented
by Serbia and Rumania,' while. Poland is attempting to
annex Germany, forcibly. Italy wants the eastern coast
of the Adriatic to the detriment of the Jugo-Slavs, and the
imperialists of all the allied lands are putting forth such
greedy claims as tend to justify the German belief that the
entente allies will quarrel among themselves over division
of spoils and in the ensuing scramble, Germany will es
cape puiiishuieut and penalty.
AVhat the nations claim and what they Will receive,
are two different subjects. Hence the necessity of creat
ing a league of nations to enforce peace, before any at
tempt to adjudicate the demands of rival claimants is
made. With the league an actuality, Hie nations must ac
cept its decisions, for appeal to force would be useless.
That is, why President A ilson has all along insisted upon
the formation of the league before attempting to4 discuss
peace terms. . 1 " .'' ..
NECESSITY
WITH the wet season over
in rainfall, witli littl
moisture in the soil, another dry year seems in prospect.
The necessity for rushing work" on irrigation systems so
as to supply needed water this year is apparent.
One has only to glance at the streams to realize the
lack of water stored in the soil. Rogue river is lower than
ever recorded at this season of the vear. as low as it is in
late summer and autumn. Other streams are in the same
condition there has been no flood and little nm off.
There is comparatively little snow in the hills and momi
tains to feed the springs that feed the streams.
Most sections of the valley have awakened to the need
of water, but some of the projects have been retarded by
war conditions. Now that the war has ended, everv ef
fort should be made to speed
liie uold Hul-Jvoot Greek project is nearing comple
tion. The Talent district, organized two years, ought to
be able to at least start work. The Medford project is now
about ready for state approval and with it, construction
could be started in the near future. New districts are be
ing organized at Eagle Point and Evans Valley and ex
tensions planned to existing systems along the Rogue
and Applegate. Water spells the salvation of the valley
and our industrial regeneration. - v "
TO SUCCEED ERHART
John Thresher has been appointed
supervisor of the Rogue river dis
trict by the county court, replacing
Arthur 1C. Erhart, who for manv
years has kept the roads of his dis
trict in fine condition and had the
reputation of being one of the best
road supervisors in the county.
A petition was received from resi
dent; of upper Evans valley asking
the removul of Mr. Erhart and alleg
ing that he had charged the county
for the use of a team when he fur
nished no team. The petition was
referred to the district attorney for
investigation, llr. Erhart is said to
claim that the charge were. authoriz
ed bv the former county court as pay
ment .for the use ofhis automobile.
The court wdl meet Monday to
complete the drawing of the iurv list
and decide upon the purchase of a
fair grounds site.

"Yes, sir, I'm willing lo go before
a notary mid tuka an otith that Tan
lae was the only thing th..t relieved
my troubles after I bud tried nil
kinds ot medicines and trxuliueuts
without success," said O, O. Sprague,
who Is wetrknown for his Interest lu

the subject uud having niude one of
tho largest collections of bultiytltim
from this nud foreign countries ever
exhibited In tho United States.
".My trouble sturted seven yonrs
ugo with acute Indigestion," .contin
ued Mr. Sprague, "ami my stonmch
was In siivh u terrible condition that
everything I would eat fermented
and bloated me up with gns till I tult
Ilka I was going to choke and 1 was
In misery most all the time. Thou 1
suffered agonies from it puln In my
back right across my kidneys, and my'
back bccHino so weak, and hurt luo no
much thut I could hardly stand on my
feet or even walk, and Just had to
quit working. For two whole years I
was unable lo do a lick of work, then
after being Idle so long I Just hud to
get ut something, and ut the time 1
started on Tonlau I would put In a
week or two then 1 would give out
and huvo to lay off fur u ; while.
Everybody t consulted about my
trouble dlsugreed as to tho cuuso,
some saying one thing nnd somo all
ot her, and although I spout over
$300.00 on medicines and treatments
trying everything I could he&r of.
nothing did me a bit of good, and 1
was as far from well as over.
"One day 1 road In tho papurti
where a party had been helped out of
troubles like mine by taking Tanlac,
so I decided to take one more chance,
and positively. I hadn't finished my
second bottle before I notluod a de
cided Improvement. I felt so encour
aged that 1 kept It up till I had taken
six bottles and I hint B" good as
I over did. I huvo a splendid appe
tite and my stomach never gives mo
the least bit of trouble, that awful
misery Is gono from my back and I
never have un ache or pain of any
kind. I never miss aday from my
work now on account of sickness and
I can get out In tho wooits nnd flulils
