He was considering Austria’s reply to the* president's last note to that govern ment, and said: Tcd> late I Too late by four years. If not by four decades, as far as his own "loyal” peoples are concerned. Too late, also, as far as the verdict of the allied powers Is concerned, for, by a fateful eolniWence. on the very day on which his apostolic majesty Issued that mani festo. President Wilson penned his reply to tbs Austro-Hungarian peace note. In cold. Judicial terms he reminded the AuutJW-Hungarian government that since the dtlivery of his address of January 8, with t*»e famous 14 points, "certain events of the utmost Importance” had occurred. The limited States had recognized the Czecho slovak national council "as a de facto Lilllgerent government clothed with proper authority to conduct the political and mattary affairs of the Czecho-Slo vaks,” and It had’equally recognized the justice of the nationalistic "aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs for, freedom.” The president was therefore "no longer at liberty to accept a more autonomy of these peoples as a4 basis of peace.” They themselves “must -be the judges of what action on the part of the Austro-Hun garian government will satisfy their as pirations and their conception of their rights *nd destiny as members of the family of nations.” This Is the doom of the "ramshackle” empire, for we know what the judgment of thot# people must necessarily be; and by the time It has been carried Into effect under (be guarantee of the allied powers there will be nothing left of Austria but a German rump, which will probably gravitate towards whatever form of Ger man state emerges from the ruins of the Hohenrollern edifice; and, even If the Hapsbarg dynasty survives the cata clysm, Hungary, shorn of all Its alien fringes, will scarcely care to retain even the fragile tie of personal union to which the Magyars already threaten to reduce their <»nnectlon with a diminished atid humiliated Austria, whose malignant In fluence has been equally disastrous to them In false friendship and In open enmity. Toll Worn Bondi. HTom the Kansan City Star. "It Un’t the clean bonds of high de nominations that Interest me," said one of the women who sort the Liberty bonds in a vnult of the federal reserve bank, as she snapped a rubber band around $1,000,00b worth, more or less. "It's the worn and soiled ones—the bonds thut look as If they had been sweated for, maybe carried around In a greasy denim pocket all through the heat and w ork of summer, probably taken to bed by the owners, and treasured night and day until they were exchanged for bonds hearing a higher rate of In terest..’' Ti e woman stood at the head of a long table beside which girls were piling bunds into neat packages--mostly the blown $50 ones, but with occasional . gleams of gold on llio Him ones, the oark blue of the $500, the green or the $1,000. (lie red of the $5,000, the purple of the $10,t*Xt. the maroon of the fyt.QnQ and the light blue of the lUk'.OQn. Tne bonds, some of them ‘'alive” nr uncan* usisd. gnd soft* of them 'd«rur' after th«!r visit to ths canceling machine at the foot of the stairway, were handle^ by the smiling girl workers with ai much unconcern as if they werf penny oar fare coupons. “Just paper," said ona of the girl*. “And you get so sick of them you'd rather sort pickles or pills or pillow slips for a change." “Just think," put In a blond creature, whose fingers flew as she talked, "they say a young fellow working at the othei hank Stole some of the bonds he waa sorting. What I can't understand is why ha didn't find something else to steal.” "Here," called the woman at tho head of thf table, “la one of those I spoke of, only this one Is stained with tobacco Juice as well as sweat." She held up a bond that barely held together at the creases, worn to round ness at the corners—a paper that had been wet many times and handled with dirty fingers. "I always feel that a bond like that Is worth more than Its face value," Bald the contemplative woman at the heud of the table. "No telling how much It has con tributed to the owner's patriotism or to his habit of thrift. And when I think of all the (60 ones that have sltfillar his tories, It makes these $1,000 green bonds look a little cheap and snobbish by com parison," and the woman snapped a band around two dozen clean onee from a large corporation and the priceless soiled one with Its unwritten history. Colonel House. From the Nebraska State Journal. Lord Northcllffe tells the British people something that Is not fully appreciated on either side of the water. He says that Colonel House is “well known to European statesmen. His great wisdom commands universal respect." The truth Is that Colonsl House has the entree Into more great houses In Europe than any other American. This relation was established years ago, through hla fa ther’s close acquaintance with many titled Europeans who were entertained on hla ranch In Texas In a way that left a lasting Impression on their minds. Ths colonel’s place in International poli tics is unique. He undoubtedly became the confidant and chief adviser of Presi dent Wilson because of the Information he was able to bring him of Interna tional relations as well as of American politics. The fact that he has never held office and never wants anything for himself, of course, adds enormously ty hi* value to the president. Feeding the Foe. From the New York World. Secretary Lansing's dispatch concern ing the sending of food to German is an answer directly to Chancellor Ebert’s appeal; Indirectly It meets Foreign Sec retary golfs earlier protest ngalnst ‘‘fear ful conditions,’ ’Intensified by the seizure of German Bhlps, that might disincline his people to ’’the reconstruction of a community of nations.’’ As an old school statesman of Ger many. Dr. golf was, or seemed, more apprehensive than Herr Ebert lost we might plan after war flghtfulness. That Is not our way. "If public order Is maintained In Germany’’—the condition is Chancellor Ebert’s own; upon any other, relief Is Impossible—the presi dent Is "ready to consider favorably the supplying of foodstuffs" and to make the necessary arrangements with the allies. There need have been no anxiety. Mr. Lansing reminds Herr Ebert that the members of the supremo council in Ver sailles unanimously assured the people of the central empires that everything possible In tho circumstances will bo done. Both thu original and the final forms of the Terms of armistice contem plate the need of relief. The men who have fought so gallantly will do every thing In their power to nld a beaten foe. German U-boats have sunk many ships that might now be bringing grain from Australia. But "by the use of tho Idle tonnage of the central empires,” It may be possible to feed the hungry. To meet earlier local emergencies American army rations may be employed. That the late central empires may turn their best minds to "the’great and haz ardous tasks of political construction.” food relief as "In the case of Belgium" must be furnished. It Is thus that tho American people, cordially seconded by tho allies, make n peace that shall "lift tho fear of utter misery from uppressrd populations." A Lesson. Vrom the Outlook. A lesson to teachers that the "sullen" pupil nuij, nfter all, be anything b.ut Indifferent or unwilling is contained | In an incident related In the National Geo graphic Magazine by a teacher lit Camp Kearny. The recruit was a "typical Mexican," and was trying to learn 1-lng Jish "With each lesson he grew more silent, less responsive, more 111 at And then ono day, when a question too many had been hurled at him, suddenly and without warning hie lieu I 'rent down Into his anus.

( _ j After the Flu” ^ —Fever or Gold Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons Out of thfe Digestive Tract MIRlons are now suffering from the after effects of the deadly "flu," a fever or a cold. Their appetites are poor; they are weak, and they are waiting for their strength to come back. If these people could only realize that the return to health and strength would be greatly helped by giving at tention to the stomach—that Is, remov ing the acidity and toxic poisons from the entire digestive tract, making It net naturally, so that the body will rscetve the full strength of the food eaten—a great deal of suffering would be saved to humanity. Everyone knows that the disease It self, and the strong medicines that bave been taken, upset the stomach, leave It hot and feverish, the month dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste, and no desire to eat. This Is a poor foundation to build new strength on.
