>V1L<0> AS CITIZEN APPEALS FOR PEACE Oils on Hailroad Heads to Appreciate /v5 llloiko^i*Anu Ctrltii iaipvfl ui l;J3a9UVU3 Ulllnvi Washington, Aug. 21.?As one American citizen to another, President Wilson today appealed to eaoh of the executives of the country's principal railroads on grounds of patriotism to accept his plans for averting the threatened disaster of a nationwide strike. He emphasized the necessity for keeping the railroads in service as .a part of the national defense, and to nake possible preparations for meetin? ponHUinr.s that will exsist after the European war. Oil leaving the White H<ouse th* railroad presidents, augmented during the day by arrivals from the West, held a conference at which sentiment v;as said to be against agreeing to ths president's proposal] in its present form. Hope was expressed, however, that some satisfactory counterpropo sition might be advanced, and it was decided to turn over to a committea the task of drafting a final reply to the president. With more than 60 men, most of them with their own ideac ?.bout w-hnt ought to be done, the executives found it difficult to "get down to brass tacks," as one of them expressed it. Tomorrow another meeting will be 'held, and every effort will be made to reach a decision promptly. Asking Too Muck? The railroad heads still insist that President 'Wilson .is asking them to sacrifice the principle of arbitration. "Elisha Lee, chairman of the national -conference committee of railways, Issued a statement tonight in which hie said : "That the railroads should grant, iin^fvn t> tferpar <nf a national strike. -a $50,000,000 wage preferment to a small minority of their employes without a hearing before a public tribunal is inconceivable in a democracy like ours. All questions at issue? ".ages, costs, operating conditions? are submerged by the greater issue: Shall arbitration be abandoned in the settlement of industrial disputes?'' - The statement suggests, however, that the railroads stand ready to take whatever acion the people of the country desire. "While the officials were listening to President Wilson and later conferrnig . ifViair + Vt a canOM] MmmlttPK <X C WiV vv?vw of 640 representatives of the employes, ^ho already have accepted the president's plan, held a perfunctory meeting and marked time awaiting the de cision of the employers. They said they would wait until President Wilson dismissed them, but stood ready tc call a strike should the negotiations fail. Urges His Plan. Although a few of the railroad executives invited ha<l not arrived this afternoon, it w?as decided that those already in Washington were representative, and therefore the president called them to the White IJfouse and earnestly .urged that his * - ? i.11 1% PJ3.I1 01 SeilltJUiem uc x acxucu. "I will not allow passion to come into my thoughts in this solemn matter,'* lie said. "We are both acting as irustoe* of g-eat interests. I am willing to allow this matter to go to the great American jury and let them assume the responsibility. The responsibility of failure will not rest with me. "I wish you to consider the consequences as affecting the people of the cities and countrysides o* a failure to agree.

The lives anc fortunes of 100,000,000 men, women t nd little ones?many of wtom ma> d:Y?depend upon what may be done im this room. I appeal to you as one American citizen tc another to invert this disaster." The president spoke in -more intimate fashion than he has in any S the previous conferences. He referred to the disastrous effect which a strike would have "especially at this time when every ounce of American energy and initiative has to be mobilized to j r eet the extraordinary situation) which will emerge out of the European war." Tteiteratin^ that it was impossible i **5yr him to bring about arbitration un '?er present conditions, the president . ^declared it was necessary to discujs "practical methods of avoiding a ^strike.

The war, he said, had taught this country that it can no longer remain Isolated and provincial; that by reason of its position in the affairs of the -world "we must be ready to play o iv rcle as one of the dominant m Alienees in the world's affairs" lanl tf.at in order to meet the exigencies or new world conditions, the varied business and economic interests -of tl.e nation must be brought together is to an harmonious whole. i "Our great national resources can , not be made available or mobilized m this emergency as .a necessary part of OA *VIA ^IITllDQQ lltlllUlldl UC1CUOC, UC OUUOU, UU.VL. the railroads are made serviceable instrumentalities for backing up an/ plan of national preparedness.' The railroad executives did not enter into any argument vith the president, but Hale Holden, president of the Burlington and spokesman for the roads, promised deep consider ition of the plan and said the officials would seek to reacn an agreement as soon as poss'jle.

That is exactly what Tanlac?one ^ and a half bottles of it did for Mrs. j Annie Tallant, of Xo. 1 Sixth street, Greenville, S. C., she said in her statement endorsing Tanlac and telling of the remarkable way it relieved her j troubles. While Mrs. Tallant told of j the results Tanlac gave her, two of | her sisters and her husband were j present. Her statement, one of the j most remarkable ever given Tanlac, | follows: *'My system was badly run down, j and either that caused me to suffer { with a lot of other ailments or the j other ailments caused my health to j become bad," said -Mrs. Tallant. "I i could not sleep at all at night hardly and I would roll and toss in bed for hours each night. I never did sleep soundly. "So one knows how much I suffered. I had headaches all the time, and sometimes I thought I could not stand this pain and I thought they would kill me.

Anyone who has suffered as I ave can not realize waf I did go through with. I was sick all over, and it seemed as if I could not get well. I suffered a lot with pains across my stomach. too and with indigestion Mv sisters and husband told me I looked sickly and weak before I took Tianlac, and they ?did not know what would become of me. "The testimonial^ of Tanlac that were printed in the papers convinced me it would help me, and so I began taking it. [ weighed when I began taking Tanl'iC, and when I had taken one and a half (1 1-2) bottles I had gained fifteen (15) pounds. I stopped Tanlac then, for as sure as I live I was then a well woman, and I did not nave ;an acne nor a pam iel mat was two months ago, and I feel even better now than I did when I quit Tanlac, for I have more strength and energy. "Tanlac gave me a wonderful appetite, though I could not eat anything hardly before I began Tanlac and neither did I want to eat, my stomach was in such bad shape. I can eat anything now, though, and I never have indigestion. I feel fine and hearty and strong now, and I think it is just wonderful the way Tanlac broke up my troubles. I am not sickly now, and I do not look nor :eel that way. I guess if I had con;inued to take Tanlac I would have cotton so heavy I would be clumsy )y this time. "Everybody around in my neighX)rh8bd is talking about the good Fanlac did me, ignd we think it alnost worked a miracle for me. Sure jnough, now, it does not seem that my medicine could have done as nuch for anyone as Tanlac did for ne, but Tanlac is the only medicine [ took and I know it is due tall the credit.
