TEMPLE DAILY TELEGRAM, TEMPLE, TEXAS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 9,1918,
SHOES FOR M EN
We believe we have the most satisfactory Shoes for men to be found any-
where in Texas. Our lines run to COMFORT as the first requisite and to neatness
and shapeliness giving the STYLE appearance. Descriptions are not here at-
tempted—the appeal is to MEN and BOYS to
Come See For Themselves
Don't overlook that while we cater to ladies, misses and children and perhaps
give more prominent show window display to these lines, we have the goods for the
men, and at PRICES hardto find elsewh«re for quality stuff.

who dealt with the Germans at
the peaca conference*—the Bolshevik!
often execrated for their defecUon
from the entente and for permitting
themselves to be drawn into the Teu-
tonic peace trap. The Russians, he
aald, presenting a perfectly clear state-
ment of }he principles upon which
they would be willing to conclude
peace, were sincere and in earnest and
when they found that the actual Ger-
man terms of settlement came from
the military lenders who had no
thought but to keep what they had
taken, the negotiations were broken
off.
Must Triumph Over Militarism.
Upon the question of whether the
Russians and the world are to listen
to the military and imperialistic
minority which so far has dominated
the Teutonic policy or to the liberal
leaders and parties who speak the
Rplrlt and intentions of the resolution
adopted by the German relchstag
last July, the president declared
must depend the peace of the world
This was hi line with his previous
declaration that the word of the pres
eat rulers of Germany could not be
taken for anything worth while, but
he took caro to disclaim any Intention
to suggest a change In German in-
ionfl.
Slay Open lTp Peace Avenue.
Everywhere In Washington, It was
Bfreed that the president had made
a great address and had given expres-
sion to the view of the American
people as a Whole. The difference
•f opinion was as to whether It was
• peace or a war speech. Some moni-
kers of both houses of congress pro-
teased to believe that the Germans
might find Uie terms laid down ac-
ceptable as a basis of negotiations

UNO IKES YOU SICK
Acta like Dynamite on a SliiggMi
Liver and You Ixwe a
Daj'e Work.
There's no reason why a person
thouid take sickening, salivating calo-
mel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone—a per-
fect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
Which will start your liver Just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate,
fc Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
Will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take
» spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone In-
stead and you w)ll wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa-
tion, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your drug-
gist says If you dou't find Dodson's
JUver Tone acts better than horrible
TOlomel your money is waiting for you.
Not the
Only One
There are Other Temple People Simil-
arly Situated.
Can there be any stronger proof of-
fered than the evidence of Temple
residents? After you have read the
following, quietly answer the question.
Mrs. Thomas Jones, 1115 Sj Thir-
teenth fit, Temple, says; "I had been
J miserable from kidney and bladder
I trouble and I often had a dull, nag-
ging ache In my back that lasted for
vdays at a time. I got Doan's Kidney
Pills from J. J. Booker's Drug store,
and was soon convinced they were
Just as represented. They have al-
ways given me relief."
More Than Three Years Later.
Mrs. Jones said: "I am glad to again
•adorso Doan's Kidney Pills, as they
aever fail to do me good when I have
| sccaslon to use them."
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
| simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
| Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Jones had. Foster-Mllburn Co.,
Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
When Itching Stops
There is one safe, dependable treatment
itching torture and skin irri-
a almost instantly and that deanse9
and soothes the skin.
■ A* any druggist for a 35c or SI bottle
ft moo and apply it as directed. Soon
wil) find that irritations, pimples,
kheada, eczema, blotches, ringworm
, lad similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little gemot the penetrating; satisfy-
ml** iork
, ftfttn eruptions
and to hope that a bona fide offer
might result
In most quarters, however there
was no such optimism and the speech
was looked upon as a great war
document—clearing* the atmosphere
for the governments and peoples
fighting Germany, heartening the dis-
organized Russians and furnishing a
light for the German people them-
selves when they want to see It.
Psychological Moment,
In response to the universal query
as to the reasons which impelled the
chief executive to make his appear-
ance so unexpectedly before congress
to enunciate the alms of the United
States and Its co-belligerents, It was
stated authoritively that In tho opin-
ion of President Wilson the psycholo-
gical moment had arrived when It
was absolutely necessary to make a
strong effort to counteract the evil
effects of German duplicity and
double dealing upon the Russians
who had been charged to meet the
trained German negotiators. It Is
felt that no efforts should be spared
to prevent a resumption of the Brcst-
IJtovsk negotiations by tho Russians,
without earnest but kindly admonition
by the allies and America of the ter-
rible dangers to which sho is exposed.
Germans To Mako Supremo Effort.
The president assumed in his mes-
sage to congress that these negotia-
tions havo been broken off. Yet It
is felt in official circles hero that,
alarmed at tho Irritating effect upon
their own people of the sudden with-
drawal of tho longed-for peace with
their eastern neighbor from whom
they had confidently expected to
draw vast supplies of food and raw
material with which to relieve their
sufferings, the Germans will make a
supreme effort to entice the Russians
to resume the conferences by abating
their first extreme demands or by
presenting them in fresh and specious
language calculated to cover their real
meaning.
Iteirfy to Trotaky.
Another reason for today's address
is found In tho necessity of making
some reply to tho request of Leon
Trot iky, the Bolshevik! foreign minis-
ter, that America and the entente al-
lies join in tho peace conferences,
Germany having mado It a condition
of any peace agreement that Russia
should bring her co-belligerents Into
the negotiations. Not having rec-
ognised the Bolshevlkl regime as the
Russian government, tho only feasible
way of communication with It ap-
peared to be through a public enun-
ciation of American war alms follow-
ing the example of Lloyd-George. It
will bo necessary to the success of
this purpose that circulation of Pres-
ident Wilson's address shall bo effect-
ed in Russia, to which end the full
text of the speech was sent by cable
and wlreles-s to all the principal capi-
tals of the world for telegraphic dis-
tribution.
Probably In ppite of the drastic Ger-
man consulship rules designed to keep
the German people In Ignorance of the
truth, tho substance of tho address also
will leak across the German frontiers
from neutral neighboring states and
thus strengthen the hands of the Ger-
man socialist party in Its struggle with
tho Pan-Germans and tho military
party,
There are intimations though no
official admission, that President Wil-
son and tho British premier speak
with a full understanding as to what
was to be said and that the president,
who said today, "there is no confusion
of counsel among tho adversaries of
the central powers" made his address
supplementary to that of the British
premier.
Lloyd George's speech was prepared
beforo tho abrupt termination of the
Brest-Litovik negotiations and he took
a rather hopeless view of Russia's fu-
ture, declaring that "If Russia acts
Independently we cannot help tho cftt-
ast hi-ope."
• President Optimistic.
President Wilson is much more op-
timistic and hopeful of the awakening
of the Russians to the dangers of the
pitfalls which Germany hag dug for
them.
Some slight differences In the state-
ment of the aims of Germany's ene-
mies today as compared with preced-
ing utterances of President Wilson and
even of the recent declarations of
Lloyd George aro noticed but it is
stated that these are unimportant and
not designed in any way to affect or
weaken tho general principles laid
down as the basis for any peace that
might be considered. One Instance Is
the uso of the term "evacuation and
restoration" by President Wilson in re-
gard to Belgium instead of "restora-
tion and reparation."
This "restoration" tho president is
said to hold must be at the expense of
Germany and not of all the warring
states as proposed by the Russians,
so the difference In phrasing Is not re-
garded as substantial.
Against Economic Warfare.
Tho third article In tho president's
program, declaring against economic
warfare is regarded here as In line
with the better reasoned conclusions of
th« entente ministries at present,
though on its face It is In conflict
with the declarations of the Paris con-
ference.
'Ihe demand foe the readjustment
of Italy's frontiers along national lines
la expected to be welcomed by tho
Italians as full recognition of their
"Italia Irredenta" aspirations, some-
thing heretofore not forthcoming from
America.
In his article providing for an In-
dependent Polish state, tho president
Is said to mean that freedom shall bo
given not only to Russian Poland but
to the 1*0108 of Austria and Germany.
It also Is stated that the demand for
"froo and secure access to tho sea"
for the new Polish state does not mean
that Poland should extend her sov-
ereignty over eastern Prussia to tho
Baltic sea but simply that she should
bo given the right to free communi-
cation In traversing Baltic sea ports, a
privilege similar to that enjoyed by
Germany in traversing Holland's terri-
torial waters at the mouth of tho
Scheldt.
