ARMY IS DRVECTi TO UIDfl
Flint, Mich:, Jan. 12.?Dr. William
aw, one of the latest Americans to
each the United States from Gernany,
brings a picture of acute disress
throughout that country.
He says the food shortage is likey
to force an end to the war the
oming summer and he believes a denocracy
in Germany will come as a
esult of peace.
Law for 13 years has been a pracicing
dentist in Berlin, having as
ilienta many of the junker class,
le left the kaiser's capital Oct. 23,
tut was obliged to remain in Nor
my and Denmark seven weeks betefore
securing: passage for his home
lere.
His story of < recent conditions in
iermany is one of the most intimate
o reach the United State. His
iews summarized are:
The Prussion autocracy fight tk>
onquer because it fears the wrath of
he people.
Soldiers and the people are tired
f war but seem powerless now to
top it.
Militarists are concentrating all enr.pes
on the western front drive
n fore America can strike a telling
low. j
Socialists are growing in power,
iut to date they want a German-made
tace.
The junker cl:^s holds that Gerlany
must fight %ntil victory.
The German democracy must come
s a result of peace, not as a cause
;ading to it.
Crops, which have been a failure
he past two years, may result in a
ood famine in May and June, and
his may bring peace this summer.
"The Prussian dynasty," says Mr.
.aw, "is in the war to win and conuer.
They will die fighting before
hey will yield an inch. They know
hat if thrv mnltn nn\rfVii??r? Knf ?i/ _
orious peace they will perish, for the
eople would dispose of them quickly
nee they knew they had been berayed.
"The people, too, are thoroughly
mbued with the war spirit and alhough
one hears the soldiers scoldig
amongst themselves against their
overnment and other governments,
eo, they have no intention of startng
a revolution at home. They must
>e thoroughly whipped before a satisactory
peace can be arranged.
"The Socialists are very powerful
nd have grown materially since
914. They desire and work very
ard for peace, ^but it is a German
eace they desire.
"The war is destroying eGrmany
nd her allies and if it Bhould coninue
two or three years more they
mow that utter ruin must be faced.
"The soldiers as well as the popuition
at home are heartily tired of
he war, but they are powerless yet
o stop it.
"The German government controls
he entire press of the central powrs
and the press keeps the people in
ine by promising them peace.
"The Prussian government never
ias made any real peace pl-oposal,
or its terms of peace are the terms
f victory. The proposals they have
nade nrj all based on the present
tatus of the German army?upon
iow much land they have taken.
"Field Marshal von Hindenburg
ias kept up the morale of'the junkers
>y promising victorv. hut. whon tlio
irmy begins to weaken the power
>f von Hindenburg will break and
rhen the Teuton armies are driven
?ack to the Rhine the Germans will
ettle with his overlord.
"The German democracy must
ome as a result of peace rather than
. cause leading up to it.
"Germany has set aside interest
ixcept that of winning the war. The
[ovornment controls everything and
loriions it out to the civil population
i} the card system, with fixed prices.
Notwithstanding this, enormous
luantitics of food are bought and
old by the profiteer for which he
;ets as much as he can. Germany i?
loney-combed by the most gigantic
ystem of graft that ever existed.
"The food supply o^the central
towers will carry them through to
text spring by greatly reducing their
ations. From May until June the
imes will be very hard. Should the
rops again fail the war probably will
nd the coming summer, for there
rill not be food enough for the peoile.
I greatly doubt if the soldiers

oldier looks flne and is well taken

New York, Jan! 21.?Definite in- 1

by the governm >nt that German
agenta had been ir structed to use all
means to paralyze the effort to move
freight and clear snips is understood
here to be responsible for tho doubling
of guards today at all piers, shipyards
and terminals.
GCjpies of instructions sent to Ger- fl
man a/rents by the headquarters of |
the German spy system are reported
to have been obtained by agents of
the government. Guards have been
doubled at all points where shiping
and shipping inteijests are concerned.
As a result numerous men promi- G
nently connected with shipping and
carry government passes were today
held at various piers until they could
be identified by persons qualified to
vouch for them. Orders issued from f
Washington by telegraphs, it was 'I
learned, called fofr prompt action.. It
is understood they applied not only
to New York but to every port on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
FROM VERDUN INTO GERMANY
In his weekly review in the Providence
Journal, Sidney Coryn gives a tf
reason for continued hammering by o)
the Germans at Verdun, hopeless as u
it plainly is, which may not have oc- -T
curred to most American observers. ^
He has discredited the belief that
Germany intends to make a great ai
drive on the western front, and be- ?
lieves that the longer such a drive is m
postponed the less likely it is to take z<
place. But Germany recognizes, ct
he says, that Verdun in French hands 0,
is a continual threat of Allied inva- fG
sion of Germany. It is close to the j
frontier; ahead of it lies the likeliest
o/
Toad to Berlin, and whatever it costs, .
a show of great resistance must be XTi
maintained there.
But as to aggressive movement on **
the part of Germany at present, Mr.
Coryn says later that he strongly be- ..
lieves that Germany is holding up in
I the. confidence that something may Jr
I come of her peace proposals. As to
this he says that the German Government
is deceiving itself into be- nl
lieving that it wilj. be able to secure tt
a peace of its own shaping, and utter- m
ly fails to see the point at which its hi
allied enemies are driving. As he N
views it, surrender has no part in the
German conception. Consideration ki
for others is not involved ip the Prussian
idea of peace. For this reason ^
the Allies must proceed to the un- ^
deceiving of Germany and the sug- 0]
gestion is made that if the strengthened
Allies proceed on the Verdun w
path into Lorraine and up the valley f(
of the Moselle, that omnious fact, ti
and its meaning, would not long be a<
kept from the understanding of the
German people. Then there v^ould M
be a real awakening and some mea- w
sure of it, no doubt, would come to R]
the consciousness of the blinded rul- ^
ers of Germany.

IS IT YOUR KIDNEYS?
In
Don't Mistake The Cause Of Your hi
Troubles. bi
in
Many people never suspect their e!
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that r
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary troubles set in they thing it C(
will soon correct tself. And so it is U1
wth all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where the
danger often lies. You should reaize
that these troubles often lead to 11
dropsy or Bright's disease. An efTec- ,
tive remedy for weak or diseased kid- '
neys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Resi- | a
aeni.8 01 tnis vicinty are testifying. j

Mr. F. C. Walcott of the Belgian re- 0
pf commission tells In the Geographml
Magazine for May, 1917, of ineetig
Gen von Bernhurdi:
"As I walkefl out, Gen. von Born- I "c
ardl came into the room, an expert I
rtllleryman, a professor in one of |
lelr war colleges. I met him the s
ext morning, and he asked me if I j ''
ad read his book, 'Germany in the j
ext War.'
"I said I had. lie said: 'Do you I "
now, my friends nearly ran me out ! R
f the country for that?' They said, ' |(
rou have let the cat out of the bug.' j
said, 'No, I have not, because nobody j .
ill believe it* What did you think ! t

"I Raid, 'General, I did not believe a , ^
ord of-it when I read it, but I now 1 t
>el that you did not tell the whole I t
ruth;' and the old general looked s
ctually pleased." I K
Speaking on August 29, 1914, at t
funster, of the extreme measures j t
hleh the Germans felt obliged to take y
gainst the civil population of Bel- | y
lum, Gen. von Blsslng sold: ! ii
"The Innocent must suffer with the ! t
uilty. ... In the repression of j v
ifamy, human lives cannot he spared. ; b
nd if isolated houses, flourishing vlliges,
and even entire towns are annl- j
Hated, that is assuredly regrettable, j f
ut it must not excite Ill-timed sent!- f

Irvln R. Cob!) states his conclusions
a the responsibility of the higher Ger- 1
lan command for the atrocities:
"But I was an eyewitness to crimes ^
hlch, measured by the standards of
umnnity and civilization. Impressed (]

epresentative of principles of human- ^B
tj', that after taking the French fortess
of Longwy, my troops discovered Q
uere mousamis or duindutn cartridges H
nnde by special government machln- B
ry. The same kind of nnynunltlon H
van found on killed and wounded H
roops and prisoners, also on the Brit- I
sh troops. You know what terrible 1
rounds and suffering these bullets in- 1
Hot and that thejr use Is strictly for- 1
Idden by the established rules of In- , \ J
ernatlonal law. I therefore address gk
solemn protest to you against, this B
Ind of warfare, which, owing to the B
nethods of our adversaries, has be- V
oine one of the most barbarous known B<
n history.. .Not only have they emloved
these atrocious weapons, but B|
lie Belgian government has openly en- BR
enraged and long since carefully preured
the participation of the Belgian * ??Ivll
population In the lighting. The
trocitles committed even by women
nd priests In this jjjierrllln warfare,
lso on wounded soldiers, medical staff
nd nurses, doctors killed, hospitals
ttacked by rifle fire, were such that
fiy generals finally were compelled to
like the most drastic measures in orer
to punish th? guilty and to frlghtn
the bloodthirsty population from
ontlnulng their work of vile munler
nd horror. Sonic villages and even
in* oiu io*.vu 01 wiewra u-onvainj,
xcepting the fine hotel do vllle, had
o bo destroyed In self-defense, and
or the protection of iny troops. My
irart bleeds when I see that such
neasures have become unavoidable * H
nd when T think of the numerous In- fl
locent people who lose their home and xj
iroperty as a consequence of the hnr
arous behaylor of those crlntv ?nls.
