GERMANY SEES U.S.
ATTACKING JAPAN
Berlin Press Has Wild Ideas
of America's World
Policies
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, via London, April 9.
Under the caption "The Biter Bit,"
Sunday's KoelnUche Volksveltung
prints an article under a Berlin date
which purports to explain America's
plans in the Far East. It says:
"The antagonism between America
and Japan arose over China, but Wash
ington proved craftier than Tokio and
forced China to break with Germany
by which action Japan, like Esau, was
cheated of Its rights, as the firstborn.
President Wilson realized the impor
tance of Chinese and Japanese ques
tions better than any of his predeces
sors and adopted a strong policy In
support of the prestige of the United
States, a policy which also became
antl-Qerman.
"It would be wrong to attribute this
policy to pro-Britishism. During the
war President Wilson pursued an
American policy above all, to which is
ascribuble America's huge development
in the production of armaments. Every
child knows that no one in Germany
ever thought of the possibility of a
German-American war. President Wil
son himself hardly seriously contem-.
plated a German danger but did con
template a Japanese danger. This is
also fully understood in Tokio."
The article says that on the sur
face nothing Is more natural than
America should equip a giant army and
fleet. It continues:
"They are not for use, however, in
this war, during which they will prac
tically not fire a shot, but for use aft
erward against Japan. Thus our ene
mies play with their own allies the
game of 'the biter bit" with Japan act
ing the leading part."

Everyone should drink hot water fj

before breakfast.
I
To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its spongo-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a no
ted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it!a your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stomach
becomes rancid, It's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected, organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release tho dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which Is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
•with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous day's Indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile, and
toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because it
•'an not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
and any pharmacist will sell you a
quarter pound, which is sufficient for
a demonstration of how hot water and
limestone phosphato cleans, stimulates
and freshens tho liver, keeping you
feeling lit day In and day out. —Adv.
The War
will take men from the mines
and still further curtail an
output that is far below the
demand. Present coal prices
cannot be guaranteed for any
length of time, so that instead
of cheaper fuel, prices are
likely to advance.
It's wise to anticipate next
Winter's coal needs now and
lay in all the coal you can buy.

Premier Declares Importance
of War Declaration Can
not Be Exaggerated
' By Associated Press
Petrograd, April S, via London, April
9. Premier Lvoff, commenting on
America's entrance Into the war to a
correspondent of the Associated Press,
termed it an event whose Importance It
was impossible to exaggerate. News
of the final action of Congress reached
Petrograd last midnight in a telegram
to the American embassy and was for
mally communicated to the foreign of
fice and the entente embassies to-day
by Ambassador Francis.
As far as the Russian public is con
cerned, America has been regarded as
having declared war a week ago. Pres
ident Wilson's address was accepted as
equivalent to a declaration of war and
was so Interpreted and commented
upon by the newspapers. The day by
day congressional developments were
treated as a further ratification of an
accomplished fact and so the final an
nouncement came as an antl-cllmax.
There has been no demonstration of
any sort in connection with the action
of America, with the exception of a
visit paid to the various embassies of
the allied powers, including the Amer
ican, by a small detachment of Cos-
One editorial in to-day's press

were mighty glad to get a rest after
those four hard years but now we have
had a real rest and maybe while we
were restinfc wo have grown a bit
rusty for fighting, but the same spirit
still courses in our veins that they

HAVE COLOR IHYOUB CHEEKS
Be Better Looking —Take
k Olive Tablets
If your skin is yellow—complexion a
pallid— tongue coated—appetite poor—
you have a bad taste in your mouth—a
lazy, no-good feeling—you should take
Olive Tablets.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—a sub
stitute for calomel—were prepared by
Dr. Edwards after 17 years of study
with his patients.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You,will know them by their
olive color.
To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause,
t Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel—yet have
no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con
stipation. That's why millions of boxes
are sold annually at 10c and 25cper
box. All druggists. Take one or two
> nightly and note the pleasing results.
