Care should be taken to strain the

Just try It! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and

WILSON DECLARES PRUSSIAN
POWER MUST BE SMASHED
Washington —President Wilson, in a communication to the new
government of Russia, has made plain the war aims of the United
Slates and its position on "no annexations, no indemnities." He says:
No territory muat chang* hands, except for the purpose
of securing those who inhabit it a fair chance of life and lib-
erty.
No indemnities must be insisted upon, except thoee that
constitute psyment for manifest wrong done.
No resdjustments of power must be made, except such
as will tend to secure the future peace of the world and the
future welfare and happiness of its pepole.
The war has begun to a* against Germany, and In their desperate de-
sir* to escape the InevttaMa ultimata defeat, thoee who era In authority 'n
Germany art using every possible instrumentality, are making use of the
Influence of groupa an* parties anting their own aubjecta to whom they
have never been Juet or fair er even tolerant, t* promote s propaganda on
both aides of tha aea which will preserve for them their influence et home
snd their power abroad te the undoing of the very men they are ueing.
The position ot America In thie war I* a* cltariy avowed thet ne man
can be eacused for mistaking it. She seeks no materiel profit or aggran-
diiement of any kind. She is fighting for no advantage or selfish object
of her own, but for the liberation of peeplee everywhere from the aggrwa-
siona of autocratic force.
For theee thing* we can afford te pour out blood and treasure. For these
thing* we hove always prefeooed to desire, and unices we pour out blood
and treasure now snd succeed, wo may never b* able to unite er ahew con.
quoting fore* agsin in the greet cause of humsn liberty.. The day he* come
to conquer or submit. If the forcee of autocracy can divide us, they can
overcome ue; if we stsnd together victory is certain and the liberty wh ch
victory will oecure. We can afford therefore to be genoroua, but we cannot
afford then er now te be weak er omit eny single guarantee of Justice and
eecurlty.

Before Reporting.
Washington.—Plans of the war de-
partment to draft from 300,000 to
1.500,000 men of the 10,000,000, who it
is estimated, registered for the new
army, were disclosed by Provost Mar-
shal General Crowder to the senate
military affairs committee. Exemp-
tions, he said, probably vfould result
in reducing the number to 825,000 men
for immediate service.
While the war department had orig-
inally planned to first select 500,000
men, General Crowder told tbe com-
mittee the plans have been revised and
it now is proposed to require 625,000.
To secure this number, he said, it
probably will be necessary to draft at
least 900,000, and possibly 1,500,000,
because of expected exemptions.
General Crowder told the committee
that an additional 125,000 will be need
ed to fill up vacancies in tbe army of
500,000 and to keep training camps in
continuous operation. When tbe orig
inal plans for service from half a mil
lion were made, he said, the depart
ment had not planned to send Ameri
can forces abroad so soon.
General Crowder told the committee
he favored Immediate drafting of men
registering, rather than postpontment
of the draft for several weeks after
registration. He regards it desirable
that every drafted man know and can
have a 'ew weeks to make their per-
onal arrangements before being called
to the colors.
The men drafted probably will he

General Crowder said, and added that
he favored beginning selections with-
in two weeks after regiseratlon. so that
exemption work may be expediated
and notifications of final selections
may be made as soon thereafter as
possible.

SAN SALVAD0RCITYRUINE0
Heavy Loss Results From Earth-
quake In Central America.
San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.—San
Salvador, capital of the republic of
Salvador, a city of more than 60,000
Inhabitants, was destroyed by an
earthquake.
In the towns of Armenia and yue-
zaltepeque, near San Salvador, forty
persons were killed and 100 were
wounded as the result of the earth-
quake which was the most severe and
most disastrous felt in Salvador since
1873. Eighty out of every 100 houses
in San Salvador were razed and the
entire business section was destroyed
by fire.
There are no authentic reports as to
the number of casualties in the capi-
tal.
Some of the principal commercial
houses and theaters in San Salvador
were destroyed as were hundreds of
smaller homes. The neighboring
towns of Armenia and Quezaltepeque
were virtually wiped out and almost
all of the casualties caused by the
disaster occurred there. The large
town of Santa Tecla, several miles
west of San Salvador, suffered great
property damage but the loss of life
there was small.
The president of Nicaragua sent a
telegram to all towns in the republic
calling for aid for tbe stricken city.
His message declared the casualties
were small, but that the town was
obliterated.
TERRIBLE BATTLE AT YPRES

Million Pounds of Explosives Let

With tbe British Army in France.—
The British armies struck on a new
front and won a victory which aapple-
ments the success at Arras during tbe
last two months. The Germans,
though apparently aware that the
blow was coming and seemingly pre-
pared to meet it, were driven from
their nearly three years' hold on the
Messines ridge, opposite poor old
Ypres, tbe last remnant of an import-
ant Belgian town, which, with the
help of the French and British in
turn, has held out against all the
massed attacks the Germans could
ding against it, including the first
great surprise of poison gas as a
means of supposed civilized warfare.
Ypres In a sense was avenged for
Messines ridge has been the vantage
point from which the Germans have
poured torrents of shells Into the
stricken city. Tbe British also wiped
off an old score against the Germans
for they held the ridge in October,
1914, with thin forces and with vir-
tually no artillery fought bloodily,
vainly, to hold it when the Prussian
troops marched their modern and
overpowering weapons of war against
it
Sir Douglas Haig'* forces have
dealt a mighty blow against the Ger-
man line in Belgium and have been
awarded with notable gains in terrain
and the capture of more than 5,000
prisoners and numerou* guns. The
captures of the first day of the Arras
drive two months ago numbered
5,000.
Over a front of more than nine
miles extending from the region of
Ypres southward nearly to Armen-
tleres the British started their drive
and everywhere advanced their line,
capturing villages and numerous
points of vantage, among the latter
the Messines-Wytschaete ridge
which commands tbe surrounding
towns for miles and which for two and
a half years has been a troublesome
salient.
The villages of Messines and Wyt-
schaete fell into the hands of the
British during the attack and the
British even pressed on eastward
from Wytschaete and occupied the vil-
lage of Oosttaverne and trenches east
of tbe village on a front of more than
five miles.
For days the Wytschaete salient had
been the objective of the British guns
which had hurled tons of steel upon
it. When the time for the attack
came the British loosed mines con-
taining 1,000.000 pounds of high ex-
plosive in front of the German posi-
tions. the detonations being heard 130
miles away in England.
With consternation reigning among
the Germans and under a curtain of
fire. English, Irish. New Zealand and
Australian infantrymen, with "tanks"
to aid them, started across the open.
The Germans offered only slight re
sistance and everywhere were beaten
off.
More Spies Arrested.
New York.—Evidence that two com-
plete, high-powered wireless installa-
tions assembled here from various
sources were shipped piecemeal to
Mexico, supposedly for tbe use of a
German spy system in this country,
was unearthed in connection with the
arrest of three men on charges of
conspiring to send mall containing
military information surreptitiously
from the United States to Germany
through members of Norwegian crews.
Conviction, at this time, of these men
carries the death sentence.
KEET BMY FOUND MURDERED
MYSTERY OF SPRINGFIELD
KIDNAPPING ENDED
Mob of Thousands Disuadsd From
Lynehing By Prisoner* Protests
of Innocence.
Springfield, Mo.—The body of Lloyd
Keet 14-conth-old son of J. Holland
Keet wealthy banker, was found in a
well on the Crenshaw farm near here.
The Crenshaw farm recently was
searched by authorities after it had
been named in alleged statement^
gtrea by suspects under arrest here.
An old house there, deserted for sev-
eral years, was the headquarters for
the abduction band who planned to
kidnap C. A. Clmnt, walthyetaolnsb
kidnap C. A. Clement, wealthy jeweler
here, and a St. Louis munition maker.
Twelve thousand persons, many carry-
ing ropes, waited on tbe streets of
Springfield all of Saturday night,
awaiting the returns of posses that
overpowered Sheriff Webb and took
from him the prisoners arrested in
connection with the kidnapping.
The sheriff and his guard were over-
powered by the mob of Springfield
cltisens at Stockton, Mo., and their
lives threatened but the prisoners won
freedom from harm for themselves by
denying stoutly that they were guilty
of the disappearance and death of lit-
tle Lloyd Keet, the wealthy banker's
son.
Sheriff Will Webb returned and said
four of the prisoners, including Mrs.
Taylor Adam*, the woman member of
the band are in jail at Stockton, the
county seat of Cedar county, forty
miles to tbe north. The two other
prisoners—C. J. Piersol and Taylor
Adams, the woman's husband had
been sent northward under a guard,
toward a railroad line that would pro-
vide transportation to Jefferson City
and the Missouri state penitentiary.
Out of meager news that has come
back to Springfield from the rough
hills and sparsely settled districts ot
Cedar, Polk and Dade counties, it haa
been possible to supply only the bare
outlines of tbe triumphant fight for
the lives of Mrs. Adams and her five
companions. Apparently it was won
by Piersol, who authorities say, haa
made damaging admission in the at-
tempts to fix the makeup of the band,
but refused, despite a rope around his
neck, to admit that any of the sus-
pects were concerned with the death
of little Lloyd.
The Keet baby was stolen from the
family home here the night of May 30.
His parents had gone to a dance at the
country club here and the baby was
left with a nurse and an older son.
The abduction was said to have been
committed about 10 o'clock that night.
Neighbors described later having seen
,an automobile drive by the house at
a rapid rate of speed. It was supposed
to have stopped behind some bushes.
Three men were believed to be the ab-
ductors and it is assumed they took
the baby from his crib, carrying him
about two hundred yards to tne car.
The Crenshaw farm 1* eight miles
southwest of here. The body was
partly decomposed and had been In
the well apparently two or three days.
Local and federal authorities here
are continuing their invetslgation of
the disappearance of the baby. The
formal charge is that of attempting to
commit a felony by planning abduc-
tion, the alleged cases referred to be-
ing the plans, maintained by authori-
ties to bave been made, to kidnap C.
A. Clement, wealthy Jeweler here; a
baby and a St. Louis munitions maker.
The Keet case has not come within
the scope of the warrants.

The arrival of the Americans in
London also was a quiet one, the
knowledge of the coming of the repru
