Treaties With Four Nations Are Sign ed. Washington, Sept. IS.—'Treaties be tween the United States and Great Britain France, Spain and China were signed today by Secretary Bryan and the British, French, Spanish and the Chinese ambassadors. These pacts, “will make armed conflict betsveen the United States and these nations al most impossible, " They provide thac ail disputes which cannot be settled by diplomacy shall be submitted to a permanent commission for investiga tion for one year. The four are similar in principle to the 22 treaties signed \vith Central and South America and a few Euro pean countries, 19 of which have beer, ratified by the Senate. Secretary Eryan dispatched tele grams to the American embassies and l«*gations in Germany, Russia, Aus tria ai;d Belgium notifying them of what had occurred and expressing the desire of the United States to sign similar treaties with those countries. Japan alone has not accepted the principle or entered into negotiations because of the desire of the niini^y there not to confuse the Japanese pub lic while the alien land controversy is being adjusted. One of the practical effects of the treaties signed today is to make more remote than ever the possibility of the United .States being drawn into the present European war over any delicate questions of ne itra'.ity which might arise with Great Britain or France, Members of the cabinet and admin istration oiRciats witnessed the sign ing ceremony in the office cf the Sec retary of State. Afterwards Mr. Bryan issued the following statement: “The signing of the four treaties to day v.ith Great Britain, France, Spain and China bring under treaty obliga tions more than 9G0.C00,0U0 penide. These, when added to the population of the United States and the popula tion of the 22 countries with which similar treaties have heretofore been signed, brings a.ider the influence of two-thirds of the inhabitants cf the Globe. As these treaties provide for invesigation of all matters in dispute before any declaration of war or com mencement of hostilities, it is believ'- ed they will make armed conflict be tween the contracting nations almost, if not entirely, impossible.” Carranza Takes Over the Mexican Railways. Washingtoti, Sept. 15.—Confirina- tiohr today by Consular Agent Silli- [ man at Mexico City of the reported taking over of the Mexican National Railways by the Carransa govern ment disturbed officials here. No ac tion, will be considered, however, until iiie interested American hankers and bandholdsrs have been heard from. General Carranza claims his action is warranted because the Meixicari government owns a majority of the stock and that a large part of the minority is owned by Mexicans. In quiry has been directed to Sew York t3 ascertain just the amount of the .American and other foreign inter ests in the railways.

Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder dis ease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, bearing down feel ings, headache and the loss of ambi tion. Poor health makes you nervous, ir ritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by i-estor- ing health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to thousands cf nerv ous over-worked women.
