The crisis resulting from the sink ing of three American ships, by Ger man submarines was the prime factor n clearing the situation and restoring the country to normal conditions in so far is its transportation facilities were concerned. The railroad managers had been dis missed temporarily by the mediators, who made no secret of the fact that they viewed the outlook with pessi mism. Secretary Lane a short time before word came- that the managers had yielded, issued a statement that the conferenles would be iresuimed but intimated that he was too hopeful of a settlement. The railroad managers and brother hood chiefs bad been told of a serious ness of the lnternationl situation, but the warning had apparently fallen on deaf airs.

JUST A FEW LINES The "contempUble little army" is beginning to show signs of real life. Wonder what BiU thinks of it now? It Is quite a "little" army by this time, but still our Teuton friends have feomething to chew upon in reflecting that, they have not yet seen on the battle front one tenth of one per cent of Britain's resources. The best laid schemes of imen and mice gang aft aglee. The 1 homely philosophy of ?.irs.

Most Effective Remedy Mother Mad Ever Used There will be a busy time in the Law Courts of England '-'when after the dust of battle has cleared away, Johnny Bull starts in to try the crews of captured submarines for murder on the high seas. Glory is a fine thing but there is not much glory in the pro r,aic arguments of some of H. M.'b Councillors for and against the crime of murder; delivered in the gloomy precincts of English law courts, with the shadow of the rope overhanging H all. By the way what does Bernhardi ind his crowd think of glory now any way? Glory is a funny thing.

They have started a pile of it in Russia dur ing the recent past -and yet there was no bloodshed to speak of. ' There Is some aspects of glory the Teuton a?ind ought to absorb. The doctrine false as hell, ee it is that one is justified in doing evil that good may come of it, has gotten u hard Jolt lately. It is high time that it did. But still a lot of our contem poraries have not absorbed the lesson yet. It is hard to throw off the tram mels of heredity and environment. The man who cannot do it in the free atmosphere of our beloved country is in hopeless a case. Wet hardly know vtoat else to recommend him to take for it. A little trip back home and a comparison might help. Thre Is nothing bo necessary to a child's bowels and comfort as regular! ty of bowels.

J. says Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is with out doubt the most effective remedy for constipation she has ever used and that it is the only remedy she could find for her baby. Little Earl was bad ly constipated during his first year and nothing she tried seemed to help him' until she got a battle of Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. Now he is' . a fine, strong healthy boy, and she thanks Dr. Caldwell for it.
