RESULT OF WAR
PARIS, Friday, Feb. 7. (By As
sociated Press. ) Baron Maklno, sen
ior Japanese delegate to the peace
conference made public today a state
ment as to Japan's position.
After outlining the successive sur
renders by Japan In the interest of
peace after the Chinese war and the
waiving of all money Indemnity fol
lowing the war with Russia,.; the
statement comes up to te taking of
rsning-Tao irom tiermany.
"Japan is now pledged to return to
China this harbor and port built with
German money, together with the
territory of Klao-Cbau, which China
-will receive eighty years sooner than
ehe could possibly have secured it,"
the statement continues. "Otherwise
the treaty of 1915 under which this
restoration is to be made contained
no secret clauses and an agreement
entered into in September, 1918, re
garding future Chlno-Japanese co
operation in Shantung contains no
stipulation which is more or less than
a just and mutually-helpful settle
ment of outstanding questions. '
'"These documents, with all their
clauses, have been laid before the
powers; including America. Japan
does not seek more than a fair divis
ion In this work of development" We
realize that a great change has taken
place in the dealings between nations
to be represented In the League, of
, Kations.. If that league Is to be of
any value its rules must prbhtbtb
selfish aggression, exploitation nd
discrimination. We seek no terri
tory in China and ask only friendly
cooperation and the maintenance of
peaceful relations."

are uncertain as to whether they
would attempt to start the cars. The
Seattle. Kenton and Southern ran
one mall car this morning and an
nounced that it expected to start
general car service with volunteer
crews as soon as possible. Several
cars on the city-owned lines were in
operation, and it was announced that
cars on all the municipal lines would
be started and kept running. Trucks
of special police officers would ac
company each car. It was said.
Shortly after 9 o'clock this morn
ing the general strike conference
committee, representing the majority
of the 130 labor unions on strike,
met again to hear the report of the
sub-committee which met with Mayor
Hanson and a committee of business
men last night to discuss an ultima
tum issued by the mayor. The may
or's ultimatum, issued early yester
day, said the men would either call
oft the sympathetic strike at 8 o'clock
this morning or he would operate all
necessary industries, with the aid of
troops if needed. The final confer
ence between the sub-committee and
the mayor's committee late last night
failed of agreement.
: Strikers Demands
The sub-committee desired assur
ance that a business men's committee
would be formed to press the de
mands of the 25,000 striking metal
trades workers of shipyards and con
tract shops for higher wages. Mayor
Hanson said the shipyard men -were
under contract with the government
and lie.' could not treat with them
until after they returned to work.
Whether the sub-committee would
still recommend that the general
strike - continue, was the point of
interest. .Unofficially it was intim
ated little would be done toward gen
eral resumption of business until
after noon, by which time it was
thought the strike committee would
have reached a decision.

medicine, but all to no effect, until
one day I bought a box of Foley Kid

MUNICH. Feb. 8. Railroad fares,
already soaring to unprecedented
heights nil over Germany despite nn
eouallv xuuircoctleiiteil poverty of
service, are going up again, and this
time with n uiiup. to take nwnv the
traveler's breath. Prussia, nttempt
iug to make up a deficit of a billion
and a quarter marks, is going to put
up fares for passengers 60 per cent
above the present high rate. Bavaria
and the rest of Germany are expected
to do likewise and to be affected bv
a general increase.
Coincident with this unwelcome an
nouncement comes word that all pas
senger traffio is to ho reduced at least
n0 per cent, nil military and treight
trains bv the same proportion. The
delivery of hundreds nnd thousands of
locomotives and cars to the entente
powers under the armistice terms is
given as the main reason.
Passenger traffic is to bo oven
more restricted than todnv. and no
individual is to be nlluwod to travel
by train unless he can urove to the
satisfaction of the authorities that
the trip is urgently necessary.
Germany began on about December
20 to deliver to the entente armistice
commissioners 110 locomotives nnd
2.400 cars a day for ten days, then
150 locomotives and 320 cars n dav
for 20 davs so as not to be liable to
the pennltv included in the armistice
conditions of parting with another 500
locomotives for failure to deliver on
time.

BY SAMUEL HAMILTON, M. D.

their graves with their teeth" uttered

drink for breakfast, everything 'you
eat and drink for supper, and mix
all together in one mass. It would
surely be a dreadful mixture to look
upon. And yet your stomach - Is
obliged to dispose of that unsightly
mass each day! Is It any wonder so
many people have Indigestion, dy
spepsia, Backache, headache, bad
blood, liver complaint, skin disease.
nervousness, coughs, colds, catarrh,
bronchitis and goodness knows what
else? Yes, people dig their graves
with their teeth, and before the end
comes they pass through one sick
ness or trouble arter another. You
should be glad to know that Dr.
Pierce, of Buffalo, has placed In the
drug stores a medicine called Golden
Medical Discovery that can be de
pended upon to overcome many of
the diseases named above. It may

do so much, but really the whole
thing is as simple as the figure 1. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
corrects the disordered conditions In
a sick stomach, aids digestion, acts
as a tonic and purifies the blood.
When this Is done, away go the dis
eases tnat are caused by a sick stom
ach. If you are digging your grave
with your teeth, stop today. - Correct
your stomach disorders right now
with Golden Medical Discovery, and
henceforth eat for your health'B sake.
If you don't know what foods are
best for you, write Dr. Pierce, Pres.
