"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.

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."

"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.

I’ - 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. “I was convinced that there must be some basis for the report that the presi dent suggested to the senator from Mis souri that the United States might bring Prep u re!

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 freight and passenger steamer.
