Kratzer springs are made unusually strong and easy riding. Itcosts a lot extra to put Cambria steel into our springs. But it pays. You never hear of Kratzer Springs snapping, and they are the easiest riding of all. Kratzer Vehicles Are Built for Western Roads Eastern roads aren't as rough as ours. Eastern-made or cheap buggies aren't strong enough for heavy western tor.ds and soon go to pieces. Kratzer buggies are made extra strong by UMng best wood-stock and the special reinforced Kratzer construction. Many are still in ue after 10, 15 and 20 years of service. They are the strongest, most comfortable and most btautiful vehicles money can buy. Ccme and See Our Line of Kratzers Let us point out the many ways wherein they are made extra strong.

R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C BERLIN FRIENDLY TO U. S. COL. HOUSE LEARNS Visit of Wilson's Envoy Clarifies Understanding Between the Two Nations. Berlin, via London, Jan. 30. Colonel Edward M. House, President Wilson's personal representative, has left Berlin for Paris and London by way of Switzerland. Prior to his de parture, though declining to be quoted with any particularity on the results of his mission, Colonel House said he was very glad he had come to Berlin and added that the conversations which he had had with leading Ger man statesmen and permanent men in private life, and particularly his con ference with Ambassador Gerard, had been most profitable and would un doubtedly lead to a clarification of German-American relations. It may be said that Colonel House, upon whom interv iews with several of Germany's leading statesmen left a most agreeable impression, will report to the president on the attitude of these statesmen toward America an attitude which has been described as one of friendliness and a desire to avoid any complications with the United States so far as is compatible with Germany's vital interests and in ternal harmony and he will be able to support and supplement Ambassa dor Gerard's report by personal dec larations made with the foreknowl edge that they will go direct to the president. It is presumed that the German leaders now have a clearer compre hension of the limits and intents of President Wilson's policy and par ticularly of the ideas he has for a working arrangement, harmonizing as far as possible With the interests of neutrals and the two belligerent groups. It is interesting to note that many Germans, especially those in terested in foreign affairs, are seeking enlightment from all possible sources in an endeavor to figure out which group President Wilson had in mind in the reference to his recent speech to the uncertainty of the in ternational relations of the United States tomorrow. The Gist of It. ZEPPELINS RAID PARIS i TWELVE KILLED BY BOMBS Thirty Are Injured First Teutonic Air Raid on French Capital Since March, 1915. THE WARNING WAS SOUNDED "Last December I had a very severe cold and was nearly down sick in bed. I bought two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it was only a very few davs until I was completely re stored to health " writes O. J. Metcalf, Weatherby, Mo. If you would know the value of the remedy, ask any one who has used it. Obtainable everywhere. Paris, Jan. 29. Twelve persons were killed and thirty injured in a Zeppelin raid on Paris tonight. This is the first raid by German airships on the French capital since March, 1913, when two Zeppelins dropped a score of bombs. Warning of the approach of the Zep pelins was first given at 9:40 p. m., when aeroplane scouts reported sight ing the hostile craft. All lights in the city were immediately ordered ex tinguished. The city was plunged into darkness in anticipation of the attack. The Zeppelins, however, penetrated the outer aerial defenses and dropped several bombs. An early statement by the prefect of police said one building was struck and two persons crushed to death by the bombs. Later reports increased the casualties. In all, five bombs were dropped. Three were hurled down from the Zeppelin which made an attack at midnight and exploded with deadly force. Two were dropped earlier in the evening, soon after the first warning was given. Two Attacks? From the above it- would appear that two separate attacks were made by the Germans though the cable dis patch does not state whether one or more Zeppelins took part in the raid. The fact that the prefect of police at first announced only two victims and a later statement reported twelve killed and thirty injured, also in dicates that after possibly being driven off on the first attack the Zeppelin returned and did more dead ly execution than in the initial at tempt. A year ago the French organized defenses against Zeppelin raids j.hat were considered so effective as to re duce the danger of attack from the sky to a minimum. Squadrons of French aviators were stationed at all approaches to the city and airmen pa trolled the sky about Paris in relays each night. II. A. Funke, the Louisville lumber dealer and Superintendent of Fisheries W. J. O'Brien .of near South Bend, were in the city today for a few hours looking after some matters of busi ness, and gave the Journal office a pleasant call. Miss Emma Clizbe of Omaha visit ed in this city over Sunday as a guest at the home of Mr. rnd Mrs. E. II. Wescott and family and with Mrs. Harry Newton, who is also a guest at the Wescott home. Mrs. Wescott, Mrs. Newton and Mirs Clizbe were childhood friends in Weeping Water.
