There is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf- ness and that is by a constitution-y al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is' caused’ by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining .of the Eustach- ian tube. When this tube is in-; flamed you have. a rumbhug sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the, inflamma- tion can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Many cases of deafness are caused by Catarrh, Which is an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mu- cous surfaces of the system. i We will give One Hundred Dol- lars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

Those who think the future peace of the world may be insured by in- ternational treaties and laws, the note says, have ill-learned the lessons taught by recent history. After charging that German influence in Turkey had resulted in conditions as barbarous and more aggressive than Pwere known under Sultan Abdul Hamid, and that it had been shown Germany cannot be expected to re- spect treaty obligations, Mr. Balfour says: “So long as Germany remains the Germany which without a shadow of justification overrun and barbar- ously ill-treated a country it was pledged to defend, no State can re- gard its rights as secure if it has no better protection than a solemn treaty.” Belgium: Vlctlm and Example Asserting that Belgium was not Germany’s only victim, and that . "neutrals were intended to note out- rages which accompanied its con-- quest,” the note recites the “reign of terror” attendant upon Germany's method of warfare, and in that lon- ' nection says: “The war staffs of the Central Powers are well content to horrify the world if at the same time ,they can terrorize it.” i The Conditions Pie-stated l The people of Great Britain, Mr. ;Balfour says, share President W11- 7 son's desire for peace, but do not be- lieve it can be durable unless based :on the success of the allied cause. He explains: “For a durable peace can hardly be expected unless three lconditions are fulfilled. The first is that existing causes of international unrest should be as far as possible removed or weakened. The second is that the aggressive aims and the iunscrupulous methods of the Central ,Powers should fall into disrepute among their own peoples. The third is that behind international law and :behind all treaty arrangements for preventing or limiting hostilities ’some form of international sanction should be devised which would give pause to the hardiest aggressor.” l l l “THE GERMANY" CAN GERMAN SEA-RAIDER NEVER BE TRUSTED _ HAD MANY VICI'IMS Balfour's Supplement to Entente Note thief Reported Sunk by BrltIIh In Argue: Reason For Thorough Guar- South Atlanticâ€"090mm!!! w." anteesâ€"Turkey Must Go , ; Long Continued The Entente Allies, in a note .ad- The New York Herald has the 101, dres§ed byjfrthur Balfour, Britlsh lowing from Pernambuco. dated Sun- A ”kn aflol‘n‘ _ A demand that neutral interests shall not be allowed to interfere with Germany’s struggle for victory was made at the opening of the Prussian Diet last week by Herr Friedberg, leader of the National Liberal party. The Conservative leader supported him and turned to criticize the Gov- ernment for the food scarcity. Reut- er’s Amsterdam correspondent gives the following excerpts from the speech of Dr. von Heydebrand, Con- servative leader, before the Prussian Diet: “Our economic situation is rich in deprivations and sacrifices. We may calmly state this because it is known abroad what we are now com- pelled to demand from our popula- tion.” Then, says the correspondent, de- claring that the rural populations must make gre ter sacrifices than pre- viously, Dr. Heydebrand added: “The rural population is not yet imbued with the consciousness of the needs of this great time. The town popula- tions are suffering grievously. It is sad to see how long women have to. wait for a couple of potatoes, and how, for the simplest necessaries, town dwellers must pay absolutely exorbi- tant prices.” Handle Greece Firmly Athens despatches on Saturday read: The period of 15 days, during which the transfer of Greek forces to the Peloponnesus must take place, be- gan to-day. The conditions imposed by the allies is so complete that any ques- tion of attack upon Gen. Sarrail’s army is unrealizable. Only 3,000 troops will be permitted in the north isthmus of Corinth. Every gun, even machine guns, will be removed. All Greek ship owners have been informed that the British Government intends to charter all suitable Greek steamers, leaving a sufficient number to ply to countries for necessities. sufficient number to ply to countries ‘ ‘ for necessities.

Saturday reports from many quarters were that the commerce raider was using as auxiliary the captured British mer- chantman St. Theodore, which the Germans had manned and armed. on Friday reports were that the raider had added six to her original number '01 victims. Berlin claimed on Saturday: The 'British steamer Yarrowdale was brought into harbor on December 31 as a prize by a prize crew of sixteen 'men, says an official statement issued to-night. She carried 469 passengers. the crews of steamers captured by a German aux: liary cruiser in the At- lantic Ocean. The prisoners on the Yarrowdale were from one Norwegian and seven British vessels. First Word From Admiralty London despatches last Wednesday said: “A German commerce raider has been working havoc in the At- lantic Ocean on Entente allied ship- ping. Between the Azore Islands and the South American coast during the period from December 12 to January 10 at least thirteen vesselsâ€"ten British steamers, a Japanese steamer and two French sailing craftâ€"were 'oaptured by the raider and it is pre- sumed officially that most of them vvâ€"w ___v, Hey: The P11187815; ’wcomnierce raider. believed to be the Vineta, which has wrought havoc with alliegi shippingin {Chemical Plant in East London Wiped Outâ€"Heroic Incidents . The following official communication was Issued Friday night: “The Minis- Ky of Munitions regret to announce T at an explosion occurred this even- sing at a munitions factory in the neigh- *borhood of London. It is feared that the eXplosion was attended by a con- siderable loss of life and damage to property.” Sunday reports said: For- Ltunately only about 45 were left in the Worst building when it exploded. It deft a crater 50 yards wide. The boiler were sunk. has thrown 100 yards. Nearby streets were shattered. The Times gives the unofficial estimate of 100 dead and 400 jured. In ten hospitals on Saturday, wenty-one persons died and there Fwere one hundred and twelve patients receiving treatment. In addition 265 bersons suffering from lighter injuries :were treated. Heavy clouds of smoke and flames to a great height rose throughout the night, but the worst of the destruction had been accom- blished in the minute of the explosion Which came more than a quarter of an hour after the fire. Two incidents of striking courage {relieve the story of the shocking ex- losion of the munitions factory in ' st London. One is that of a local fire company which got the hose to .work on the most dangerous building within the seven minutes between the alarm of fire and the explosion. The company was aware of the danger, but only two were killed outright and the rest injured. The other heroic sacrifice was that of Andrea Cingell, a distinguished Oxford chemist, who rushed to the worst building to warn the inmates of their peril. He was killed when as swiftly as a battleship is wrecked by a magazine explosion. the chemical works were virtually wiped off their foundation and with them the flour mills adjoining and blocks of workmen’s dwellings. Seven of the 14 vacant Senatorships were filled by the Government last Saturday, four in Ontario and three in the Maritime Provinces. The new members of the Upper Chamber are Messrs. Harry W. Richardson, of King- ston; Gideon D. Robertson, of Wel- land; Mr. George Lynch-Staunton, of Hamilton; Col. Frederic Nicholls, of Toronto; Mr. Charles E. Tanner, leadâ€" er of the Conservative Opposition in Nova Scotia; Mr. Adam B. Crosby, of Halifax, and Dr. F. J. Bourque, of Richibucto, who is New Brunswick’s {representative The remaining vacan- tdes will probably be filled in the next two weeks. Saturday’s list includes ‘ members of Parliaemnt, but it is ; ected that some of the Commoner: ' be promoted when the rest of Senatorships are filled.
