Lisbon and. Berlin the Real
Centers of Interest.
WARLIKE PREPARATIGNS HASTENED.
The Boers Said to Be Holding Buck
Reply In Hopes of a. Peaceful
Settlement—An Appeal For
Arbitration Suggested.
LONDON, Sept. ‘33—).——The Press asso-
ciation issued the follmving statement
last evening: “i ’0 learn that the centers
of interest in the Transvaal crisis are in
reality at Lisbon and Berlin. and this
consideration. it is thought in some quar-
ters, maycause a further adjournment of
the cabinet.
“The future administration and Iinan-
clal control of the Portuguese possessions
in South Africa are held to be an integral
factor in the present difiicnlty. The
friends of President Kruger urge that it
would be manifestlyunfair to insist upon
a partial reduction of the forts at Preto-
ria and Johannesburg so long as Loren-
co Marques remd‘ius under the Portu-
guese government, and it is probable that
the negotiations between London, Berlin
and Lisbon may not be concluded until
after the cabinet council.”
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
Charles Town says: “Commandeering is
- proceeding in the W’akkerstroom district
and probably throughout the Transvaal.
TWO thousand burghers are assembled at
Wakkerstroom, which is eight miles from
the- Natal border and 11 from Laing’s
.Nek. Twelve hundred have been order-
ed to Sandspait, 13 miles west of the
Natal border. where they will meet
Orange Free State artillery, which has
been lying low in this neighborhodfl for a ,
fortnight.”
The Daily Chronicle says:
“'“Ve understand, on the best authority,
that the delay attending the Boer reply
is due to hopes still entertained by the
Transvaal of a peaceful settlement. The
Boers distrust Mr. Chamberlain. They
fear that if they make concessions he
will only increase his demands. 'There-
fem. they have been trying to approach
Bord Salisbury directly.
“They trust the premier as much as
they distrust the colonial secretary, and
.ifitlxord Salisbury would give a pledge
thatzzt‘he golden bridge was meant seri-
ously-they would venture upon it. We
regret to. say that this last desperate ef-
forthasbroken down, since Lord Salis-
bury cannot go behind Mr. Chamberlain
without creating a cabinet crisis.
:‘Q‘xlgls deplorable nevertheless that state
”etiquette should be strong enough to ob-
struct the path to peace. W'e hope it is
not true that Mr. Chamberlain intends to
demand'disarmament, a heavy indemnity
and ‘th'ewithdrawal of Dr. Leyds, which
couldldnly result in war.”
_The}' paper suggests that the Orange
F‘sée State should appeal for arbitration
under the arrangements concluded at
The Hague.

Mr. Daniel S. Osterbanks. No. 21
Belden Ave., says: “In my younger
days I worked very hard. I had trouble
with my kidneys and bladder com-
plaint. My back aehed so severely at.
times that I could not move, and I was
compelled to get. up often at night, on
account of my kidney secretions, and
lost a great deal of sleep. I tried med-
icine and plasters, but they did not
cure me. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills
advertised and I got a box at Hale’s
(now Glendeuing & C0.’s) drug store.
They were just the thing for my
trouble. I had every reason to think
that they were just what the manufac-
turer claims for them. They made
me sound and well.”
