James A. Harley,
Paris, Dec. . 7.—Commenting on
President Wilson’s message to con-
gress the Temps points out that
win the war” is the motto which the
message repeats and develops in-
cessantly. j
“Perhaps the most important pas-
r
i sage in the message,” says the news-
paper, “is the intimation that the
allies, if Germany persists after the
war in constituting herself a danger
to peace, will use a weapon which J
the president has heretofore never
been willing to mention, but which
he indicated yesterday in his refer-
refusal by the peoples
constitute the society of
j nations to admit Germany to free
! economic returns.”

British Express Approval.
London, Dec. 6.—The Daily Mail
says: “For all the allies President j
Wilson's address makes very satis- }
factory reading. His ringing sen- ,
fences, not less than the measures j
proposed to give effect to them, will
do something in Europe as well as in
*
■^iren ^TT ^ ctt?arttkr-um;the
fumes of pacifism. They set things,
as Lansdowne's letter did not, in
their proper light and proper order.”
The Daily Telegraph says: “It has
been left to President Wilson to give
the lead in showing that a frank and
unimpassioned statement of war aims
does not in the least degree conflict
government in this great crisis, aid
Texas will do its part, said Goveribr
Hobby.
“I am in position now better to
realize the vast possibilities of Te:as,
and when I see these possibilities 1
cannot but realize also that Texas
must play an important part in the
i great world conflict. Texas money,
; Texas resources and Texas brains
must rally to the aid of the cause.”
It was his first public appearance
j here since the events occurring at
! the state capital just a little while
j before he assumed his present duties.
He took occasion to refer briefly to
these incidents:
; “In these days' of automobiles and
airplanes,” said the governor with a
! twinkle in his eye, “things move rap-
! idly. Suddenly there was an upheav-
al in Austin, and the first thing I
knew I found myself in the gover-
nor's chair. I appreciate the great
responsibilities placed upon

Therefore the British government,
the document says, replied ife would
be ready to receive the communica-

felt itself able to make respecting
peace and would consider the mat-
ter in conjunction with its allies. M.
Nabokoff adds that the ambassadors
in discussing the question with A. J.
Balfour, the British foreign minister,
came to the conclusion that this was
another attempt by Foreign Minister
von Kuehlmann to draw the allies
into a net, and it was determined
that under no circumstances would

WATKINS’ STUDIO
Convincing Proof of This Fact
Ridgway, Penn. — “I suffered from female
trouble with backache and pain in my side for over
seven months so I could not do any of my work. I
was treated by three different doctors and was
getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me
how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had
helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my
health, so I now do all of my housework which is
not light as I have a little boy three years old.”
— Mrs. O. M. RniNEs Ridgway, Penn.
Mrs. Lindsey Now Keeps House For Seven.
Tennille,Ga.—“I w^nt to tell you how much I have been benefited
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I
got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in
the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly
all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a
severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always
be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist
advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work
in the garden some, too. I so thankful I got this medicine. I feel
as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and
they have been benefited”.—Mrs. W. E. Lindsey, K. li. 3, Tennille, Ga.
