L. L. Hooks, of Roswell,!
Says He Was Almost Down

The following letter from the G. T
Lyon Drug Company, of North Roswell.
Ga., is self-explanatory:
"North Roswell. Ga. Jan. I*. Lis
• Mr. G F. Willi*. Atlanta. Ga.
"Dear Str —We are enclosing a testi
monial which we have just received
rom L. L. Hook, of this place. He
seems very grateful for what Tanlac
ha* done for him. and every word he
says is the truth.
"This man ha* been tn had health
for years, and was almost down when,
we iot him to try Tanlac. Now he.
talks it to hie friends all the time, ana.
is’ anxious to tell other people what it I
;a* done for him. Yours ver> tru >. .
"G. T ETON DRUG CO.
Mr Hook’s statement, written in his >
own words, follows below just as it was |
given. Mr. Hook said: I
"1 suffered from one of the worst i
cases of indigestion and stomach trouble I
any man ever had. I couldn t eat
ly anything and nothing tasted right.
At times gas on my stomach would ,
almost choke me Nothing agreed with,
me. and what 1 would eat didn t give
me any strength.
"I commenced taking Tanlac because
I saw what it was doing for other peo
ple. and 1 could -ee all the difference
in the world right from the start. It (
simplv did wonders for me. and made ,
me feel like a new man.
"Before taking Tanlac I couldn t do
inv work at all. Now I am using the
aiek and shovel every day. and can do
any other kind of labor I want to. When
I weighed the other day 1 found * b.ad
gained 35 pounds. That s what Tania*,
did for me. I want you to send this
to Atlanta and have it published, for I
think everybody ought to know about •
this medicine.’’
Xnother interesting letter was re-1
eeived from A. J. Gillen, proprietor of
a large department store at Maxeys, Ga..
and gives fuither evidence of th* re
markable results now being accomplish-,
ed by Tanlac throughout the south.
Mr. Gillen said: “I have a customer,
i ere who was in bed three years, and
did not go to a meal at any time. She;
had five fine physicians, and they gave
her out. One bottle got her up. After
taking th* second bottle she kept house,
and on the third bottle she cooked and
did all the house work for a family of
-ight. 1 can get this testimonial for
rou If you care to have it."
Mr. Gillen has been requested to fur
nish full details regarding this unusual
aae. and her complete statement will.

SENATE STIRRED BY
MOST SENSATIONAL
DEBATE OF SESSION
(Continued From Page 1.)
| -•
i merchantmen have the right to bear
arms for defensive purposes, but -he does
I not say, nor do I. and I doubt if any
lone does, what constitutes defensive
purposes.
"Furthermore, if a German warship
without warning should attack and sink
'a merchantman, the president proposes
Ito consider the attaca a lawless act.
i He will be disposed to hold the German
government to a strict accountability,
and if the German government persisted,
Ihe would be tempted to sever diplomatic
relations and submit the matter to con
gress. which, under the constitution, is
| the war-making body.
■ "If it must come to this, and I must
■disagree with the president, and if I
must disagree with my colleagues. I
must not face this as a political ques
tion. My duty is clear. 1 cannot but
believe that if u belligere.it merchant
man is armed, whether for defensive or
• Tensive purposes, if it is transporting
iwar material, it is the equivalent of a
i war vessel.
"I cannot discuss the question new.
■but will merely state that ir duty to
myself, to my constituents and to my
country, I will discuss it here at length
'in the near future. The president is op
posed to the Gore resolution. lie is not
icnly opposed t<» laws on the subject, but
!to any form of official warning, keeping
people oft belligerent vessels.
“If I coulff have my say, I would
; take some step to save this country
from becoming embroiled in the Euro
jwan war through the recklessness of
I some thoughtless citizen.
“The president has written to Rep
resentative Pou that the resolution has
' been a source of embarrassment to him
in the diplomatic negotiations with the
■ belligerents.
“I am sure that is so. I have dili
gently sought to prevent resolutions on
this subject being adopted and sought
to allay agitation on this subject. Now
we are informed that the resolution
must be defeated.”
LODGE S ATTITUDE.
i "I thoroughly appreciate the gravity
jof the situation to which the senator
from Missouri has called attention.”
said Senator Lodge. "I agree entirely
with him that this is not, a party quee-
* tjon.
"I think the president, hampered as
he tells us in the letter to Representa
tive Pou In his diplomatic negotiations,
has aright to ask for a vote on the pre
cise proposition, that he may know
whether he can go on with his negotia
tions with congress behind him or
whether congress takes the view of the
‘ belligerent power with whom hg ne *
gotiating. I hope the senate will take
an early vote on the precise question
as to whether American citizens can
travel on armed merchant ships, a right
which has not been questioned for cen
turies past.”
Senator John Sharp Williams, Demo
crat, staunchly defended the president.
Weak from illness he spoke with great
feeling. . „
“There are times in the history of all
people, all administrations and all par
ties.” said he. "when men come to the
parting of the ways, to unavoidable con
flict, when each must stand as best
•he may for that which he thinks to bo
brave, just and patriotic. That time I
think has come for you and for me con
cerning the proposition that now faces
us.
•The time has come when the ques
tion states itself this way: ‘Shall I ac
claim America first or shall 1 acclaim
I Deutschland über allesT
“I have the highest contempt for one
who would inject politics in this situa
-1 tion. Politicians looking for a racial
vote of some kind to be gained from this
are not only poor Americans but poor
, politicians.
‘The moment a factional element, par
ticipating in the government of the
I United States, shall implant in them
i selves an idea of pleasing a racial ele
' ment, that moment they will consolidate
against them every other racial ele
! ment, and all that great element of cit
' izens who are just Americans, without
frill, without politics and without hy
-1 phens or anything else. They have a
right to be here.
ALL ARE AMERICANS.
"The citizenship of this country is
derived from every race under the sun.

CHARLES K. HATFIELD AND HIS RAIN MAKING MACHINE.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., -March 2.—Councii
men of San Diego find themselves much
in the same predicament as the city
fathers of ancient Hamlin town did,
after the Pied Piper had done away with
the village rats and demanded his pay
therefor.
Charles K. Hatfield, professional rain
maker, is the Pied Piper of San Diego.
For years the city has been trying to
completely fill its reservdirs to insure
adequate water supply. Hatfield asked
for a contract to make rain for San
Diego. He promised to fill the reser
voirs. He “simply pestered the life”
out of the San Diego councilmen.
Finally they passed a resolution
which said: “Go ahead and do it. We'll
pay you SIO,OOO if you fill ’em up.”
Hatfield went to work. Just about
the time he got his machine in opera-
We are not Irish, not Germans, not Eng
lish, not Latins, not Russians, not
French. We are here, if we have the
right to participate in American govern
ment, simply as Americans.
“Therefore, American ideals and
everything that responds to the noblest
in America can be relied upon to push
aside any man whose idea of politics
consists of pleasing some racial preju
dice.
“The initiative in foreign relations
lies with the executive and congress
ought not to attempt to assume the ini
tatlve.
“Through resolutions and in speeches
and whispers, the chief magistrate has
been prodded and nagged and dared. To '
do what? To surrender the initative
the constitution places with him and let j
congress take the lead in foreign rela
tions.
“Now the patience of every patient |
man has been exhausted. 'Now,’ he says i
‘you have given comfort to foreign na
tions, you have given them a contempt
for your own government, you have
weakened my hand, now I want a show ,
down.’ And I believe it will be a show !
up. I am through.
“You have nagged and prodded him
until he haa picked up the gauntlet and '
said ‘if the patriotism of congress is
behind me. lets find it out, and if it is
not behind me. let’s find that out. If
I'm to be hamstrung, just kill me as a
negotiator and have done. If I am help
less, sav so and let me and the people
know it. You already have done as
much harm as you could do by adopting
tne resolution. I have pleaded with
you not to go on, and in spite of all,
you have kept it up. Therefore, with
out evasion, 1 say now, let s bring this
to an issue. Bring on your war resolu
tions and your own resolution and let
a motion be made to table them.’
NO NEW DOCTRINE.
“The president has offered no new
doctrine. The proposition of armed mer
chantmen is a principle recognized in the
war with Spain and in the Sivil war.
What Germany wants to do, what she
■wants us to do, is to change interna
tional law and she is trying to make us
a particeps ertminis.
“The only danger of war today, tne
only cloud on the horizon, comes from
the fact that the politicians have not
let him alone, and that some ot you
must seek to create the impression that
the American people are not behind the
American government, and to your ac
tion alone is due the last position tak»n
by the Germans.”
Senator Gore, in defending his reso
lution in the senate, said the impelling
reason for his course was a report that
the president had told certain senators
and representatives that a war between
the United States and Germany “might
not be undesirable and might result in
advancing civilization by bringing aliout
the end of the European war by mid
summer.” .
Senator Stone denied the president had
said to him or in his hearing that fauch
a war might not be undesirable.
Senator Gore declared that at .the
proper time he would put the issue
si uarely before the senate whether the
sinking of an armed merchant vessel
by a submarine would be considered
sufficient cause for war.
“1 introduced my resolution because
1 was apprehensive we were heading to
ward war.” raid he. “My act wa« based
on a report which seemed to me to come
from the highest authority that certain
senators and members of the house in a
conference with the president received
from the ;>resident the intimation if
not the declaration that if Germany
insisted on her position the United
States would insist upon her's and that
this would result probably in a breach
of diplomatic relations and that a breach
of diplomatic relations would probably
be followed by a state of war and that
a state of war might not be an evil,
might not be ungrateful, might end the
war by midsummer and thus might ren
ter a great service to civilization. I
cannot certify to the truth of the re
port. I tell the tale as it was told to
me. Ther* were such external and in
ternal marks of truth that I feared
It might be the truth.
STONE ANSWERS GORE
“If the senator from Missouri, the ’
chairman of the foreign relations com-.
tion the unusual rains of the past two
months began. The reservoirs were
filled. Hatfield beamed. He had made
good. But alas, the rains kept on com
ing. The reservoirs ran over and the
dams broke. The lloud swept through
fertile valleys for a property loss 'ot
millions.
The city attorney has advised the
ccuncilmen that, according to the reso
lution, they are liable to Hatfield In the
sum of SIO,OOO. the price agreed on, it
he succeeded in making rain. At the
same time, he rules, if they pay Hat
field they are legally assuming respon
sibility for the Hood and may be held
for damages to property.
It’r a hard problem for San Diego.
“We Wanted to have the reservoirs
filled." they say. “We didn’t ask for a
flood.”
niittee, will deny it, that will satisfy
me. If the senator from Indiana says
it is not true, 1 will accept that. ’
“I do not know why the senator
quoted me.” replied Senator Stone.
“I did not quote the senator,” re
sponded Senator Gore.
“Well, in fairness to the president,”
said Senator Stone. ”1 think I should
state that the president never stated
tc me nor stated in my hearing that
he believed in war or in any way enter
tained the thought that war between
the United States and the central powers
would be desirable or would result in
any good, or would not be undesirable.
“It is well known tliat the president
has a passion for peace.” interjected Sen
ator Kern i na tone which indicated a
flat denial of Senator Gore’s charge.
"I have no passion for peace,” Senator
Gere responded. “I do not believe all
peace is honorable or that all war Is
dishonorable, but I repeat that what 1
heard of the reported conversation be
tween 4he president and the senator
from Missouri, was believed to be found
ed on fact because of the source from
w hich it came to me.

some basis for the report that the presi

Wireless Reports
German Raider
In the Atlantic
NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—Wireless warn
ings that a German commerce raider,
possibly accompanied by consorts, was
attacking shipping in the Atlantic were
received by the Standard Oil tanker Com
munipaw which arrived here today from
Algiers.
The first message was received Feb
ruary 17 and was partly in code. It
read; “Ahmb calling Caaw and reported
being chased by a suspicious ship which
■she believes to be a German raider.
Position wch and wmx. Course west.”
The Communipaw was soma miles
south of the Azores when this message
was received. At noon a second mes
sage apparently from the same ship said'
“Altered course to wpn and nna.”
The third and most significant mes
sage was received about 8 o’clock that
evening. Its text was: “German steamer
is attacking shipping in the Atlantic and
may be assisted by captured vessels
which she armed. Description 6.00 u
tlons, speed fifteen knots, combination
