Germany'! Peace Terms Stated 1
With the French Army in Franee.—
Germany'* conditions of fwace are
clearly stated in a document found in
a German trench that was recently
recaptured by Entente allied troop*.
A re.-ume of the principal condition#
as given in an official translation
reads:
"After the enormous sacrifice* we
have made of our blood and property
we exact as a minimum nece*sary to
the presrvation and development of
Germany the following:
"Belgium, especially the Flanders
coast with Antewerp, is to remain un
der German military, economic and
political dependence.
"Liberty of the seas shall he prop
erly established for all nations, the
Central Power* being allowed a com
mercial fleet totaling 17,v>0,00n ton*,
while that of the Allies would amount
to 10,900.000 tons.
"Our rolonim shall be returned with '
augmentation.
"We are to have m'.re numerous1
and stronger naval station*.
"The Longwy and Briey mine fields I
which furnished France it* weapon*
for attack shall become German.
"Readjustment of the frontiers, par
ticularly in the Vosge.s, are to b« fixed
according to the military xituation
and the appreciation of the command
ant. Our frontier* must be such that
their defense ia mad* anaier.
"The former German Raltic prov
ince* shall lie incorporated, their richi
soil furnishing new cereal fields for
German peasant emigrants, thus pro
tecting the empire against the dan
gers of famine.
"Courland, Lithuania, Livonia and
Rathonia ara to ha roloniied.
"Ona million eight hundred thou
sand ton* of Rumanian patrol will h«
at the diipoaition of Germany.
"Those nation* who attacked peace
ful Germany must pay all war charge*
in rnw material, ship*, ready money
and tarritorial ronranaiona, leafing
German with only !>,000,000,000 na
tional debt."

Maay Amanda of
women (uttering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the uaa
of Cardui, the womao'a
tonic, according to letter*
we receive, similar to thia
one from Mr*. Z.V. Spell,
ofHayne, N.C. "Icould
not stand on my teet, aad

the uys. "A* my md

The Woman's Tonic
She writes further* *1
am In splendid health ...

owe it to Cardui, tori waa
In dreadful condition."
If you are nervous, run'
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardul. Thousands oil

A New York picture architect
itaya: "300,000 German* have been
killed and 150,000 wounded iince the
spring drive began."
The picture architect ha* the cart

in thi* war show* Ave wounded men
i for every dead one. If 300,000 Ger
man* h ive been killed," then 1,500,'
000 other* have been wounded. Only
in the clo*e*t hand-to-hand fighting
do the dead outnumber the woundad.
Fatalities even in thi* great battle
are not relatively very large. For
the entire seven day* of la*t week,'
the British lo**e* a* reported official
ly by that country were only 12,000.
That army i* far bigger than wa*

lost 14.000 in two day* at the Wil
deme**, lft.OOO at Spottaylvania, and
11,000 more at Cold Harbor.

Union Army suffered ca*ualtiea ex

The Great "Waate"
Dmaha World-Herald.
There ha* b.*c:i a great deal written
concerning "waate" hut the prime
rauae and source of waate ha* scarcely
Seen mentioned. The naceaaity ha*
in a large measure corrected it. and
it ia to be hoped that at the cloae of
the war meanures will be taken to pre
vent it* recurrence for the "wutt"
that desolated so many hundreds of
thousands of homa in this land of
plenty .should never appear again.
That waste consisted of idlenesa at
both extreme* of society—among the
extremely poor and among the vary
wealthy. The rharfty organizations
all over the country estimates that
there were about AGO,000 hoboes aa
the road all the time, working vary
little and living upon what they could
pick up from charitably disponed per
son*. The "waste" of that army at
idleness wn* enormou*. On the other
hand there were many of tha idW
rich. , The waste there wa* immensely
greater for each of these vary wealthy
men and women kept a retinue of
servant* who produced nothing and
were employed but a small part of
each day in performing personal serv
ice which had no value to any on»—
not even to ine person wrved. Oot
of the waste there grew up an eco
nomic autocrr.cy whirh raged in tha
homes of thousands; an autocracy aa
oppressive as any which ever exiatad
under the doctrine of the divine right
of kings. A large part of the energiaa
of mankind went to "waste." Now
that several states have provided lawa
with heavy penalties to prevent that
sort of "waste" among the rich and
poor, there is improvement every
where and the people sea to it that
former conditions never occur again.
