Feb. 12.—“1 read with pro- > found disappointment the German and | .Austrian ministers’ replies to President | Wilson and myself.” declared Premier j Llovd George in the house of commons I t vday. "I am sorry to say 1 see little differ e ices in their speeches.” In the house of commons former Fre ni.er Asquith, commenting on Wil son’s speech to congress yesterday, said ti.e president had discriminated justly in regard to both tone and substance be tween the declaration of the German chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian toreign minister in their utterances re garding war aims Mr. Asquith said tt would seem, as Mr. Wilson remarked, as though the military party of Germany alone reject ed and would have nothing to do with peace based upon the lines which, in principle at any rate, all the rest of the world was read?- to accept. The former premier asserted that I nothing had been done or left undone j which had in the least shaken the confi dence of the nation in Field Marshal Haig, the commander in France and Belgium, and General Robertson, chief of the imperial start at army headquar ters. Mr. Lloyd George said the government siodo by the considered declaration made at the meetings with the trades un'on representatives early this year. The government, he added, did not re cede in the least from its war aims as they had been stated. It was no use, he said, crying peace when there was no peace. Regarding the supreme war council, Mr. Lloyd George said it was impossi ble to make a statement as to the de cisions it reached without giving infor- ; mation to the enemy. The premier laid he would like any member to point out anything in the speeches of Count Czernin or Count vion HertUng which could possibly be re garded as proof that the central pow ers were prepared to make peace on terms which could be regarded as .just and reasonable Germany’s action rggfrding Russia, the premier pointed out. proved that her declaration regarding no annexa tions had no real meaning. No answer had been given regarding Belgium that could be regarded as satisfactory, he declared No answer had been given regarding Poland or France, with her legitimate claims for the. restoration of her lost provinces: not a worb had been said about the men of the Italian race and tongue now under the Austrian yoke. The premier declared that Germany’s violation of her engagement not to move troops from the eastern front had to ircwTsCßK TOEHISH IND SICK Look, Mother!

The situation had been changed coni- I pletely by those reinforcements, he as- I serted. Upon the decisions of the supreme i 1 war council, the premier reminded the I house, depended millions of gallant lives, the honor and safety of the coun try an dthe war aims upon which the 1 future of the world was dependent. If I information in this particular were to j I be given to tl}e enemy, he would prefer , I that the responsibility be placed upon | other shoulders. Mr. Llyod George said he rejoiced In i repudiating any personal imputation and that he desired to withdraw any- I thing which seemed to support such a suggestion. LONDON. Feb. 12.—1 n his speech at ! the opening of parliament today King George said the struggle had reached a I critical stage which demanded more ; than ever the full use of the coun- j j try’s energies and resources. Until recognition is offered of the only principles upon which an honorable i peace can be concluded, the king declar ed. It is the duty of vne British to prosecute the war with ail the vigor they possess. Following is the king's speech: “My Lords and Gentlemen: .The necessities of war render it impera tive for me. after but a brief inter val. to summon you again to your deliberations'. The sums for which I and my allies are contending were recently set forth by my govern ment in a statement which received the emphatic approval of my peo ples throughout the empire, and provided a fair basis for settle ment of the present struggle and re-establishment of national rights and international peace in the fu ture. » “The German government has. however, ignored our just demands that it should make restitution for the wrongs it has committed and furnish guarantees against their un provoked repetition. Its spokesmen refuse any obligations tor them selves while denying rightful lib erties of others. Until a recognition is offered of the only principles on which an honorable peace can be concluded it is our duty to prose cute the war with all the vigor we possess.” “I have full confidence that my forces in the field, in close co-oper ation with those of niy faithful allies, will continue to display the same heroic courage hnd people at home the same unselfish devotion, that have already frustrated so many of the enemy’s designs and will insure the ultimate triumph of the righteous cause. “1 have summoned representatives of my dominions and my Indian empire to a further session of the imperial war cabinet in order that I may again receive their advice on questions of moment afTecting the common interests of the empire. “Gentlemen of the house of com mons you will be asked to make suitable provisions for the require ments of the combatant services and for the stability of our na tional finance. ”My lords and gentlemen, the struggle in which we are engaged has reached a critical stage which demands more than ever our united energies and resources. I con fidently commend to your patriotism the measures which will be submit ted to you and I pray that the Al mighty may bestow His blessings on your labors." Many American soldiers and officers were in the crowds that lined the route of the royal party’s approach to the i houses of parliament. Four erriages ■ started from Buckingham palace, escort- ■ed by cavalry. The streets were lined I With special constables instead of the I usual soldiers. Americans in the crowd —many of them getting their first glimpse of royalty—joined in the cheer ing. The king, attired ina plain uniform, read the speech from the throne in the house of lorda after as many members of the house of commons as could be accommodated had been admitted. Members of both houses of par liament as embled early today for the opening of the eighth session of the longest parliament In mod ern times—a session which is virtually certain to be the last and which will be followed by a general election upon ex- I tended franchises with women voting I for the first time in the country’s his ' fory. King George, accompanied by the queen and the Prince of Wales, performed the opening ceremony at noon in the ab sence of the customary spectacular fea tures. It was decided that in view of the war the peers and peeresses will not wear their gorgeous titular robes and coronets, while the naval and mili tary members of both houses will wear the service dress instead of the flashy gold-laced full-dress uniforms. After the king reads his speech and their majesties have left the house of lords an address replying to the speech will be moved in both houses—a for mality which gives one of the chief op portunities for debate in any session. The proceedings on this occasion prob ably will be full of Interest and impor tance and may cover the whole field of war effort. Political circles have .been , buzzing the past few days with various I rumors, showing that severe criticism of the’ government is to be expected in the debate. One rumor is to the effect that a hostile amendment condemning ! the government may be moved from the I front opposition bench. ■ Complaints that ministers have inter fered with the military cniefs have been resuscitated recently and voiced 'outspokenly in a section of the press This subject will be brought to debate in association with the demand for an explanation of the enlargement of the powers of the supreme war council at I the recent meeting at Versailles. In this connection it will be recalled that former Premier Asquith la~st week propounded a question regarding the supreme war council and it is under stood he will bring up this topic again. It is assumed Premier Lloyd George will reply with an appropriate state menL Before the conclusion of the debate, | which may continue for two or three 'days, the radical and labor members will again urge their views regarding war aims and i«eace *by negotiation. They may also move an amendment criticizing the policy of the Versailles council, whose official statement re ferred to vigorous prosecution of the war as the only immediate task of the allies, and regretting that the door was thus closed to peace conversations. A joint allied statement of war aims may aJso be demanded. The submarine menace, food rationing , and the dispute with the engineers re garding the extension of compulsory imilitary service are. among the other topics which various members hope to raise, but as the government aims to have the vote on the motion concern ing the address in reply to the king’s speech taken on Thursday at the latest, ' it is probable the debate will be re- Istricted. I CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918. CHARLES EDWARD RUS SELL. lecturer and writer, who h was in Atlanta Tuesday. Ger many, he declares, is prepared to launch her greatest drive in thirty days. — I t W J I IKgjMES|H-W r I ' IL Wbfr ■ BLOODIEST FIGHTING OF Wifi MEM. SWS CHARLES E. RUSSELL Lecturer Says Huns Hope to Crush Italy, Invade France From South and Bring Allies to Knees by July The next thirty days will see the bloodiest fighting or the wai, tn the opinion of Charles Edward Russell, not ed lecturer and writer, who was in At lanta Tuesday. Within that time, says Mr. Russell. Germany, will launch her long-heralded offensive simultaneously on both the | western and Italian fronts. Her hope I i« to crush Italy, invade France from | the south and before July bring the al- : lies to bay on the fringe of France. If Germany consummates her plans, she will then offer a German peace to the United States, says Mr. Russell; but : if peace is declared, the United States I ten years from now will face the sit uation of Germany dominating Canada on the north, Germany dominating Mex ico on the south, and Germany threaten ing to invade the United States and i achieve the German dream of world em- | pire that shall be as omnipotent as was 1 ever Rome in the days of Caesar. But one thing can stop this calamity, declares Mr. Hussell—fdr thte United States and her allies to pdt into the conflict every ounce of men and money and fight the war undauntedly to a vic torious finish, though it takes years and untold cost in blood and treasure. Mr. Russell is considered an authority on the war. Since the beginning of the struggle, he has studied it in intricate detail, his writings in the newspapers and magazines attracting widespread at tention. Especially has he turned his attention to Russia. He accompanied the Root mission from America to Rus sia and is exceedingly weAl posted on Russian affairs, particularly the Bol shevik. The news dispatch from Amsterdam Monday to the effect that the Russian armies have peen ordered demobilized, Mr. Russell characterized als ’’important if true.” Amsterdam dispatches he places little faith in, but in this case, the truth seems to have neen told, since later advices confirm the demobiliza tion order. In any event, Mr. Russell says that Russia is absolutely out of the va.tr for the time being, anyway, more “out of it,” in fact, than she has been at any other time. He sees a gleam of hope, however, in the fact that the Bol sheciki, now in control, are not the ma jority party in Russia. The great- ma jority of the Russian people, he says, are anti-Bolshevik. Granting that the demobilization order is true, he says that it is likely to lead to a revolt in the i ranks of the Bolsheviki, foj it means that their leaders have thrown over board their principles of no annexa tions and no indemnities and have given Germany unconditional surrender. With such a revolt and with the majority of the people opposed to Bolshevik rule, their power cannot continue. Civil war is coming in Russia, says Mr. Russell, i Whether it will be of any avail to the I allies, depends, he says, on whether the | party that ousts the Bolsheviki sees In | Germany the deadliest enemy to Russian democracy and resumes the war. Such a situation, he says, is conceivable, but not probable. Evon should this come to pass, Mr. Russell says it will not help the allies in their most critical hour, which is al ready upon them. Germany, he declares, was never stronger or more confident, and the peace with Russia will increase this strength ’and confidence many fold, for it will release for fighting 1,- 500.000 German prisoners in Russia and* give Germany vast resources in food. I To Overrun Framce • “Germany now has the greatest army in her history, preparing to launch its ' full force.” said Mr. Russell. “The blow will come within thirty days and it will be a double blow, aimed at France and England on the west and at Italy to the south. Germany is banking hard on an Italian victory. Before the snow melts, she intends to loose the powers that shall crush Italy. Even a partial vic tory in Italy—the taking of Venice— will give her what she wants—a foot hold on the Adriatic. With Venice under her heel, Germany can send an invadipg army into Italy from the south while she hammers on the western front. She plans to overrun France and bring the allies to*their knees b<Vore July.” More than anything else. Mr. Russell declares the United States should realize the peril that confronts her. “Congress must see this! Congress must realize it and cease this potter and dodder that has been hampering the progress of the war ever since we got in it. Congress has given no assistance whatever to the winning of the war since war began. It’s high time congress woke up and became a servant and not a constant handicap to America.” Mr. Russell advanced the opinion that America's plans for the war must go forward on a far bigger scale than ever, if the war 13 to be won. Even if 500,000 troops are in France by spring, he says, this will be but a drop in the bucket. Millions are needed, he declared, and they are needed now. * HOST WEICE IS EXPECTED BT ALLIES. BELIEF IN LONDON Facts That Support Expecta tion Are Known, Daily News Declares—Hertling Will Re ply to Wilson Next Tuesday ZURICH, Feb. 13.—The “seriousness I of the internal situation in Austria must be borno In mind,” the Berliner Tage- , blatt declares, in copies received here today. "Government is no longer possible since the Czechs. Jugo Slavs and Poles form an important majority, against whieh the German parties are power less.” NEW YORK, Feb. 13. (Summary of European Cables.)—Facts are known in London, the Daily News says, which bring closer the possibility of a sepa rate. peace between Austria-Hungary and '.he entente. Austria is said r.o look with disfavor on sending her soldiers against the troops of the United States and Great Britain. Count von Hertling. the imperial Ger man chancellor, it is reported unofficial ly, will answer President Wilson’s ad dress to congress in the German reichs tag next Tuesday. President Wilson saw a difference between the chancellor’s recent statement and that of Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, and declared that Count von Hertling had not withdrawn from his position that peace should be made on Germany’s terms. 1 Challenged to move want of confi dence in his government by Premier Lloyd George the British house of com mons yesterday failed to take such ac tion. Criticism of the Versailles coun cil and the premier’s attitude concern ing it, was voiced in house by for mer Premier Asquith and other speak ers. As to reports that Field Marshal Haig and General Robertson had been dismissed or had resigned spokesmen for the government denied the truth of such statement's. Premier Lloyd George in the house and King George in an address to par liament asserted nd basis for a demo cratic peace could be found in recent statements of leaders of the central powers. The premier said he could see no difference in substance between ' the recent utterances of Chancellor von ! Hertling and Count Czernin. Before the Italian parliament, Premier Orlando has declared that Italy will fight on until victory is achieved. There is yet no Indication that mih tary operations on the western front are about to be resumed on a large scale. Attempts by raiding parties are growing stronger, especially on the French front near Verdun and in the Woevre, but ther have been no attacks in force. Sometime in March, according to a German prisoner, the Germans will at tack on the British front. He did not know if a general offensive would be begun then, but there is marked activ- 1 ity behind the German lines. The weather in the British front continues favorable and the flelds and roads are drying fast. Harmony Needed Between President and George WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—That closer harmony must be attained between the United States and England In the mat ter of *political offensives against the central empires is the growing \"ierw of experts here today. For the second time President Wilson and Lloyd-George are not in full accord and the result may be such as to hamper President Wil son's work —work which. Liberals say, is more far-sighted than the blunt Lloyd-George and Versailles war coun cil dismissal of the Czernin and Hert ling terms. The gulf between Lloyd-George and the president—probably both would deny that their differences of view amount to a gulf—undoubtedly had its inception in the president’s drive for a statement of war aim. Lloyd-George wasn't receptive at first. Lord Lands downe and the British labor party, how ever. forced hirn to make the statement. Right there Lloyd-George made utter ances anent Russia which failed to square with President Wilson’s al truistic views. The British leader practically told Russia she could go shift for herself. To rid Russia of the sting of those remarks, President Wilson hurried to congress, spoke directly to Russia and England, and declared Russia’s difficul ties put her allies to ’’the real test of friendship.” Since then has come the. Versailles war council wtih its warriors and alle ed statesmen —but no American states man. That body brusquely decided that Hertling and Czernin had said nothing that required any answer but a dose of iron and lead and promptly pronounced this view to the world. President did not agree. He went to . —SB1—. ;;ag A Baked Cereal Food Different from the usual run of toasted or steam* cooked cereals, Grape-Nuts is baked in giant ovens — baked for nearly twenty hours under accurate con ditions of heat, so that the whole wheat and malted barley flours may develop their full, rich sweetness.

The discount specified in the bid was at a rate of 5.74. The banks submitting the joint bid were the Atlanta National bank, the Fourth National bank* the Third Nation al bank, the Lowry NationaJ bank and the Trust Company of Georgia, Only one other bid was submitted, that being from the Bankers’ Trust company, of New York, which, besides stipulating a discount rate of 5.82, attached a num ber of other conditions. The warrants will total about $2,000,- 000. Os this sum, about $400;000 worth will be ready for discount this month. Following the award of the script, the 'following statement was issued by Gox’ernor Dorsey: •’Governor Dorsey found only two bidders today for the teachers’ war rants. The Bankers Trust Company of New York offered a rate of 5.82 per cent. A lower rate of 5.74 per cent was presented by five Atlanta institutions, as follows: The Atlanta National bank, the Fourth National bank, the Lowry National bank, the Third National bank artd the Trust Company of Geor gia. "This bid was accepted, and even though it is higher than the rate ob tained before, ft is considered the belt that can be done in view of the present state of the money market. As seen, these five Atlanta banks patriotically came to the help of the teachers in the emergency. It was thought best to accept this bid for the entire sum of $2,000,000 and to have the help of the Fourth National bank in this, instead of the offer of this institution for a small part of it at a rate of 4.5 per cent for a short term.” congress, with a very distinct word to Austria that she could have peace if she would dump her Teuton alliance. Lloyd-George and the British king found nothing hopeful or helpful in either Czernin or Hertling and so told parliajnent yesterday. The (president has answered all that in advknce, but the British tone is not destined to be helpful to the Wilson joliticaJ offensive, most international experts here feel. And, they believe, that there should 8e more consultation in advance hereafter, with more agreement and co-operation as to action. Wilson believes with the British that the Teuton must be fought but feels he can be fought politically as well as militarily.

Opinions of Dr, Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. H. B. Vail, foijnerly Physi cian in the Baltimore Hospital and a Medical Examiner; Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly Physician of Belle vue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, and other physicians who have thoroughly tested the value of Nuxated Iron. Any woman who tires easily, is nerv ous or irritable, or looks pale, haggard, and worn should at once have her blood examined for iron deficiency—adminis tration of simple Nuxated Iron will often increase the strength and endur ance of weak, nervous, careworn women 100 per cent in two weeks’ time. • "There can be no strong, healthy, beautiful, rosy-cbeeked women, without iron.” says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New Y ork Physician and Medical Author. “In my recent talks te physi cians on the grave and serious consequences of iron deficiency in the Jdood of American women I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron— nuxated iron—for their nervous, rundown, weak, haggard-looking women patients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of an anaemic wom an is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags, and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, <le spendent and melancholy. When the iron goes front the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. “In the most common food of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polish ed rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, fariua. de germinated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes lave removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverisben foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsi ble for another grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim ana vigor to a ripe old age you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron just as you would use salt when ycur food has not enough salt.” Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New York’ (’ity, said: ••I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication as I or dinarily do not believe in it. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency with its attendant ills—physical weakness, ner vous irritability, melancholy, indigestion, flab by, sagging muscles, etc., etc., and in conse quence.' of their weakened, run-down condition BAKER HOLDS UP ON ABANDONMENT OF CAMP GREENE Tells North Carolina Delega tion He Will Inspect Condi tions There En Route to Camp Wheeler WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. —Secretary of War Baker today ordered a general investigation at Camp Greene, North Carolina, and ordered that no further steps looking to the withdrawal of troops from that camp be taken pend ing the result of the inquiry. Secretary Baker told members of the North Carolina congressional -delegation today that he would personally inspect Camp Greene at Charlotte, N. C.. later in the wheek, when he plans to visit also Camp Wheeler, Georgia. The war depart ment had determined not to make use of the Camp Greene site after the regular army troops now training there have been sent forward for embarkation. A report of the medical corps shows con ditions to be highly unsatisfactory at the camp, although there is no imme diate danger to health of the troops.

And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most re markable and wonderfully effective remedy.” Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician in the Baltimore Hospital and a Medical Examiner, says: "Throughout my experience on Hospital staffs and as Medical Examiner, I have been astonished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various diseases, when in i reality their delicate, run-down state was sim- ■ ply the result of lack of iron in the blood. Time and again I have prescribed organic iron —Nuxated Iron—and surprised patients at the rapidity with which the weakness and general debility were replaced by a renewed feeling of strength and vitality. I took Nuxated Iron mj self to build me up after a serious case of ner vous exhaustion. The effects were apparent after a few ,days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole systeuj and put me in a superb physical condition." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician, who has studied both in this country and in great Eu ropean Medical Institutions, says: “I am a great believer in Nuxated Iron, it often acts almost like magic. Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examina tiou for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man: in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age.

York, and the Westchestqr County Hospital, says: “Thousands of persons go on suffering year after year, doctoring themselves for all kinds of ills, when the real and true cause underlying their condition is simply a lack of sufficient iron in the red blood corpusclea to enable nature to transform the food they eat into brawn, muscle, tissue and brain. But be ware of the old forms of metallic iron which frequently do more harm than good. “Notwithstanding all that has been said and written on this subject by well-known physi cians, thousands of people still insist in dosing themselves with metallic iron simply, I suppose, because it costs a few cents less. - I strongly advise readers in all cases, to get a physt , dan's prescription for organic iron—-Nuxated Iron—or if you don't want to go to this trouble then purchase only Nuxated Iron in its original packages and see that this particular name (Nuxated Iron* appears on the ]tackage. If you have taken preparations raeh as Nux and Iron and other similar Iron products and failed to get results, remember that such products are an entirely different thing fro* Nuxated Iron ’ NOTK—Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed an'i recommended above by physicians in lueb n great variety of cases, is not a patent mediclir nor secret remedy, but one whicn is well known to. druggists and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both i • Europe and America. Unlike the older inor ganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it Is a most potent remedy in nearly all forma of indi gestion as well as for nervous, run-down condi tions. The manufacturers have such great coi>- fidence in nuxated iron that they offer to for feit $106.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman unaer 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money If It rloea not at least double your strength and endurance in tea days’ time. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.— (Advt.) 3
