Learned the Real Value of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy.
“We first learned of the true value
of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy sever-
al years ago when we lived near Clif-
ton Hill, this state,” writes Mrs. James
Malone, Moberly, Mo. “At that time I
had a severe cola and a nannoying
cough. I got a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and after taking a few
doses of it my cough loosened up and
my lungs felt better. I used one bottle
of it and by then my cold had entirely
disappeared.”—(Adv.)

Use Soothing Musterole
When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. It draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
| Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
’ Many doctors and nurses frankly rec-
ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neural-
gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the back or
oints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises,
chilblains, frosted feet — colds of the
chest (it often prevents pneumonia). It
is always dependable.

Onboard the U. S. S. George Wash-
ington, Thursday, Dec. 12,-—(By wire-
less to the Associated Press.)—Presi-
dent Wilson’s last night aboard the
ship was a memorable one. It was
marked by a demonstration on the part
of the personnel of the ship, which
greatly touched him.
President and Mrs. Wilson had at-
tended a moving picture show aboard
the George Washington and when the
show had ended arid they, were ready to
depart a great chorus of bluejackets,
unannounced, entered the salon and
sang two verses of "God Be With You
Till We Meet Again." ,
After the singing the president ex-
pressed his appreciation of the signifi-
cance of the words of the old hymn,
especially as coming from men of all
walks of life, many of them former
prosperous businessmen who had sacri-
ficed their interests in saving their
couritry in time of need.
At the conclusion of the singing the
orchestra burst forth with the famous
“Auld Lang Syne” and the voices of
the whole of the ship’s company were
raised to the tune, which must have
been heard on the decks of the torpedo'
boat destroyer convoy a quarter of a
mile off. The president bowed his
acknowledgments to the sailors, but he
left the salon without delivering an ad-
dress.
President Wilson will remain in Eu-
rope probably for two months, return-

It is stated that President Wilson’s
conferences with the entente statesmen
during the next few days undoubtedly
will center on questions surrounding
the proposed league of nations and the
definition of "freedom of the seas," and
possibly also on the question of in-
demnity. On the question of the league
of nations there will be discussion, it is
said, whether the league shall be pro-
vided for in the treaties of peace or
later. It is known to be President Wil-
son's position that the peace treaties
should embody agreements to create a
league of nations.
It is also known to be his conviction
that there is a strong tendency for es-
tablishing, upon a very clear definition,
freedom of the seas.
The much discussed point in Presi-
dent Wilsons’ fourteen points of peace,
on which Great Britain has reserved
decision, is said to be not intended to
specify unqualified freedom of the seas
outside territorial waters, but only to
stipulate that no single nation shall re-
strict freedom, and that when freedom
is restricted it shall be by only a con-
crete power-enforcing international
covenant. It is expected that the presi-
dent will approach what may be differ-
ences of opinion, rather than of prin-
ciple, and that he will rely upon open-
minded conferences and processes
which will not involve unnecessary an-
tagonism. It is said to be his attitude
that neither the United States nor the
other governments should assume the
role of master, and that he believes he
is supported by public opinion, generally
as to the agreement to be sought for
between peoples, rather than govern-
ments, as essentials to a people’s war.
The reduction of armaments proposed
in President Wilson’s fourteen points
specified reductions not below domestic
safety, and statesmen seem to be agreed
that no reduction of domestic arma-
ments without international safety is
expected. The attitude of President
Wilson in regard to indemnity is gen-
erally believed to be that the necessity
for the payment of a great sum will be
justified only if based on most careful
and judicial consideration. The presi-
dent is said to agree fully with the en-
tente powers as to the great wrongs of
military power, but to feel most strong-
ly that the ways of righting them must
be consistent with the objects of the
war. It is asserted that he thinks the
right of procedure would be first a
careful determination of just claims and
demands for reparation for damage and
then the determination of the method
of payment and the possibility of ob-
taining payment. The decision reported
to have been reached on these vital
subjects by the,entente are believed on
board the George Washington to be
tentative.
In determining the freedom of the
seas, it is thought, redical revision of
maritime practices probably will arise.
By Associated Press. -
Chicago, Dec. 14.—Private Arnold A.
Schiller, former Socialist, testifying in
the trial of Victor Berger and four
other Socialist leaders charged with
conspiracy to violate the espionage act,
said that W. F. Kruse, a defendant,
asked him whether he would refuse to
report for military service if others
would also refuse. Describing a visit
to the office of Adolph Germer, a de-
defendant and national secretary of the
Socialist party, Schiller said:
“I had on my uniform and Mr. Ger-
mer jokingly remarked: ‘Has one of
the 200,000 coffins the government has
ordered been measured up for you?’”
Schiller described a motto of the
girls of the Young People's Socialist
league, which, he said, read: “The hand
that holds a musket can never hold
mine.”
Excerpts from the Socialist Bulletin
of June, 1917, were read to the jury.
One read:
"Buy a liberty bond. Get a real one.
The bankers' bonds are slavery bonds
and will bind you to Morgan’s wheels.
Buy a defense fund bond.”
Under cross-examination, Schiller said
that he had called William F. Kruse
yellow because he would not appoint a
secret committee to oppose the draft.
It became,known that Judge Landis 1
had received a letter threatening him
with death and containing abusive
threats against the president and ful-
minations against the government.
An outline- of a plan to perpetuate
the Young People’s, Socialist league by,
means of a secret, disguised organiza-
; tion in the event of the league’s sup-
pression by the government also was
laid before the jury.
The plan was contained in a mineo-
graph copy in a scrap books taken by
I the government from the Socialist head-
quarters. The document was addressed
to the comrade secretaries of the Young
People’s Socialist league known as
“Pipsel,” and was- over' the name of
William F. Kruse, national secretary of
the organization and one of the de-
fendants.
The letter read to the jury by Dis-
trict Attorney C. F. Clyne contained a
J warning that it was not intended for all
the league, but should be made known
to “the trustworthy ones.".
“Our papers have been suppressed,
our wires tapped, and it may not be
long before our league may be de-
clared illegal," the letter read.
"If suppressed, each league should
get together with another name, say of
an athletic or a dramatic organization,
but still the Young People's Socialist
league. If the disguise is discovered,
reorganize again and again. All this
must be carried on as secretly as pos-
sible.” I
The letter was dated July 14, 1917.
Now the Aladdin of Democracy rubs his lamp and the mighty forces of
RECONSTRUCTION leap into action.
See what America will do in the ruined cities of France and Belgium, in
broken and helpless Russia, in the upspringing republics of Middle Europe,
in the waiting lands of neutrals and of foes.
See what miracles of readjustment and new creation will be wrought at home.
The magic story unfolds each week in
has spent the evening at the blue-
jacket amateur shows and posed gen-
erously for hundreds of snapshot pic-
tures by officers and men. He has read
the ship’s paper daily without fail,and
generally has attended the nightly
moving pictures hows.
President Wilson has expressed much
enjoyment at, the singing of the sailors’
quartet. At target practice and in
signalling maneuvers he always has
been one of the most interested of the
spectators.
Invitations from Europe have been
coming in large numbers by wireless,
but President Wilson has been uniform
in declining them and trying to cut
down the number of official functions
arranged for him to a minimum. He
has.'summarily rejected all invitations
which might be liable to be construed
as meaning that he is-on a pleasure
trip. It is said that President Wilson
feels he can not forego a visit to the
American troops at the front or a visit
to the devastated regions of France, and
that he intends to crowd such visits
into his absences from Paris up to
Jan. 1, when the peace conference gets
down to business. During the succeed-
ing six weeks he will conduct his daily
business at the Murat palace the same
as at the White House, surrounded by
his clerks, stenographers and attend-
ants.
| President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson ac-
tually have less baggage on board the
George Washington than some of the
minor attaches of the peace party.
The degree to be conferred on Presi-
dent Wilson by the University of Paris
will, it is said, be the first honorary
degree to be given by this seat of
learning. Likewise, the degree to be

ing to Washington if indications pre-
vail that his presence is necessary just
before the close of the present con-
gress. If later he is required at the
peace table, it is said he will not hesi-
tate to return to France. It is known,
however, that he hopes to avoid this
latter contingency and that all affairs
requiring his counsel will be disposed
of before the middle of February.
Refreshed and invigorated by ten
days at sea, President Wilson is in ex-
cellent physical condition for the hard
work ahead of him. From the time the
George Washington passed out of sight
of the statue of liberty the American
executive exercised consistently. He
has rested a great deal, but still has
found time for much work in daily con-
ferences and with state papers. He has
made appointments, accepted resigna-
tions and signed pardons, and con-
ducted by wireless, probably for the
first time in history, as the head of any
nation, more work than ever before has
been accomplished in this manner.
Meanwhile he has been in constant
touch with American officials in. Wash-
ington and Paris.
President Wilson, seemingly, has
thoroughly enjoyed the. voyage. Noth-
ing has pleased him more than the
moving n cture taken of him with the
assembled crew on the forward deck, in
which the president shook hands with
every one, from the grimy fireroom,
men to the men of the upper decks. He
