WOULD CLEAR GERMANY
Huns Say Austrian 4<Red Book,"
r Just Out, Shifts War Blame
| Berlin; S?.>t. 23.?German news
papers are arguing that; the Red
Book just issued by the Austrian
government proves Germany tried
earnestly ^to prevent the outbreak
of the great war in 1914 and thaf
Count Leopold von Berehtold, Aus
trian foreign minis'|:r in 1914, bears
the bulk of the responsibility by his
"underhand tactics and deception."
The belief that Germany can deT
mand a revision of the peace terms
on the strength of the Red Book is
expressed by the Boersen Zeitung,
which intimates that the publication
of the Red Book was planned to
bring about such a demand. The
Kreuz Zeitung denuonces what it
calls the "inextinguishable guilt of
Austrian diplomacy," while several
other newspapers praise the courage
and honesty that brought about the
revelations in the Red Book. The
Tagdblatt says Germany was re
quired to keep silence about facts at
the Feace Conference so as not to

'Almost the orfly newspaper to
criticize the German government is
i the Tagoblatt, Vhich says the gov
1 eminent in 1914 '*clid not show the
i slightest interest in the situation
i and acted idiotically," adding that
I "Germans in power at that time,
played the part of thoroughgoing
fools." The newspaper declares
the revelations of the Red Book is
an "awful disgrace for Germany."
''The governmental incapacity of
the Hohenzollerns for the last 30
| years was our guilt, for which we
now must pay," the newspaper con
cludes.
While no official statement has as
yet been obtainable in connection
with the publication of the Red
Book, Foreign, Office attaches, who
have been willing to discuss the dis
closures, have ventured the opinions
that "probably the most surprised
[ men who read them will be Dr. The
obald von Bethmann-Hollweg, for
mer German Imperial Chancellor,
and Gottliefb von Jagow, former
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
possibly Viscount Grey, who in 1914
was British Secretary of State for
Foreign Aairs."
Wilhelmstrasse believes, however,
that the revelations will not mini
mize the guilt of Russia, while, on
the other hand, they may clear
up points relative to the German
attitude during the critical days of
July 1914, especially her position
on Viscount Grey's proposal to sub
mit the Russo-Austrian dispute to
arbitration.
It is declared at the Foreign Of
fice that the evidence proves the
German Government not only trans
mitted Viscount Grey's suggestion
to Vienna, but was "insistent in urg
ing its acccptance," It is held to be
proved that Count Berchtold, ap
parently on purpose, delaye'd his
DODSON KILLING
USE OF CALOMEL
Says Drug is Mercury and
1 Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver
Dod'son is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great failing
off" in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason, Dodson's Liver
Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodsoi's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re-!
suits," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is perse nai
ls guaranteed by every druggist. A
large bottle cosies but a few cjnts.
and if it fa'ils to give e?asy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
cc-rtistipa.t:-on, you have only to ask 'for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to broth children and adults.
Tr.ks a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling finfe; no biliousness, sick
headache,, acid stomach or onstipated
bowel's. It dioesn't gripe or ccause in
convenience all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a d'ose of calomel |
today and tomorrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose
a days work! Take Dodson's Liver
Tcne instead and feel fine, full of
vigor an elarrfbition.
