He runs on the Chesapeake & Ohio from Charlottesville to Washing ton, D. C., and Richmond, Va. ■“My stomach and digestion had been bad so long that I can hardly re member the time 7 could eat without suffering afterwards. I gradually grew wepker until I was often having to lay off from my run. In this run down condition I contracted pneu monia in both lungs and came near losing my life. “After this spell my stomach' trou bled me worse than ever and I re mained almost as weak and helpless as a baby. While sitting around read ing the papers I was attracted by the -.statements about Tanlac, which had ■such a sincere ring that I was led to believe the medicine might help me up the hill, and it pulled me clean up to the top. My appetite never fails, ■stomach misery is all gone, and I ■have gained thirty-five pounds in ■weight. Tanlac keeps me feeling '‘spick and span,’ too, so I can make my runs and still feel fine.” Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. Over 35 million bottles sold.—Adver tisement.

BY A. L. BRADFORD, United Press Staff Correspondent. Copyright 1923 by United Press. Washington, Jan. 1.—Germany to day bared one of most dramatlq at tempts In the history of diplomacy to secure the peace of the world. Chancellor Cuno, of the Berlin government, in a speech at Hamburg, has revealed the vain proposal made by Germany for a peace pact In Europe. No War Without Referendum. The gist of the German proposal was an idea that has long been the dream of advocates of peace—that there should be no war in Europe unless decided by a referendum of the people in the countries concerned. France has summarjly rejected the German plan, put forward to meet the French fears of further German aggression. The United Press has lea—ted the full inside history of the negotiations here over the German plan, negotia tions which have been clouded in the deepest secrecy. The state depart ment and tha German embassy have consistently dented the proposal of Germany or disclaimed all knowledge of it. The proposal of Germany was as follows: 1. That Great Britain, France, Ger many and Italy enter into a European peace pact for a duration of a gen eration—at least 30 years. 2. That under this agreement the European powers solemnly undertake not to embark on a' war unless a referendum of their people so decide. Ambassador Wledfeldt here pre sented the proposal of Germany to the United States government. The American government in effect ap proved the plan, for it is known that Secretary of State Hughes talked the question over with Ambassador Jus serand to elicit the views *of the French government regarding the plan. Franca Rejects It. Only recently, M. Jusserand in formed Hughes that France rejected the German Idea on the ground that the French constitution did not pro vide for any such referendum by the people as contemplated by the pro posal. Because of ‘‘diplomatic denials” hero it is not known exactly how far Secretary Hughw went in placing the support of the jilted States behind the German proposition by actually proposing the plan to France and other allied governments. But. it Is believed here that Chancellor Cuno’s * reference to an unnamed power as having been Mie intermediary in put ting forward the plan might have referred to the United States, al though it Is also known that the ques tion was talked over 1 I'arts and other allied capitals. Strict Secrecy. The negotiations here have been kept so secret that the only persons in Washington who have had a know ledge of the plan were President Harding, Secretary Hughes, Under Secretary of State Phillips, Ambas sador Wledfeldt and one other high official of the state department and a high official of the German embassy. The German proposal for a peace pact was Involved In the discussions here between Hughes and Wledfeldt and the other allied ambassadors as to the Amerlacn government's plans for intervention in the European crisis. The proposal of the plan also synchronized with the suggestion by President Ilarding in his message to congress that the four power PaciHio pact of the Washington conference might be used as a model for similar agreements to keep the peace in other parts of the world.

ACTION MAY BE TAKEN IN RETALIATION Ambassador Child’s Stand on Armenia Rouses Wrath— American Church Workers Accused of Political Activity. Universal Service. Special Cable Dispatch. Lausanne, Jan. X.—A direct threat to expel American missionaries and relief workers from Turkey, if the United States persists In the demand for an autonomous Armenian state, was givon by the Turkish delegate, Rlza Nour Bey, in an interview to Universal Service Monday afternoon. “The American ml. slonarles are simply troublemakers.” said the Turk leader. “They are always stirring up the Armenians and causing endless embarrassment to the Turkish au thorities by interfering in matters which are peculiarly Turkish and which are no affair of theirs. “Turkey cannot accept the Anglo American proposals that the Ar menians, who are 'Turkish subjects, must not be accorded the same treat ment as Mussulmans. Allied Dictation Defied. "If America and England think that threats will make us yield on a question vitally affecting oar sover eignty they are badly mistaken. Tur key, has the largest army in the east, and Is master of the situation. We will not accept dictation from Amer ica or England. “If the United States is so Inter ested In the Armenians, why does she not provide them with a homo In America?” demanded Rlza Nou.- Bey. "Only by war can territory be taken from a nation.” At this point In the interview an aide hurried into the room and handed the Turk leader a dispatch from Washington denying that the stand of Ambassador Child, on the status of the Armenians, was the re sult of orders from the American government. Rlza Nour*s attitude changed .im mediately, and he declared: “Evidently Ambassador Child has exceeded his Instructions. However, we wish the United States to under stand that her missionaries will only be permitted to work In Turkey on condition that they do not Indulge in political propaganda. Mix in Politics, Charge. "A few weeks ago several sacks of propaganda matter were found in the homo of the American missionary at Constantinople. This mater proved that the miasionairies have been long attempting to stir up the Armenians to revolt. “Under these circumstances the Turkish government withdraws the protection hitherto accorded to the missionaries and solemnly warns that* further propaganda will result in the expulsion of all American mission aries from Turkey." The Turk then pointed out that the conclusion of a peace treaty between Turkey and the allies will mean a rush of European business men to Turkey, and he advised that tho United States begin at once the ne gotiation of a separate treaty In order not to be left behind in the race for business. —— BRITISH TO LEAVE.

THE PACKER MERGER. DESPITE the fact that the depart ment of agriculture refused to commit itself either In favor of or against the proposed merger of the Armour and Morris packing in terests, financial arrangements for the absorption of Morris by Armour on December 31 have been com pleted. Under the packer and stock yards act the secretary of agricul ture is required to prevent unfair practices that might creep into the buying of livestock. It is not his duty to pass upon activities of the packers in the realm of higher fi nance. The attorney general, Mr. Daugh erty, however, put his Okeh on the proposed combination, despite grumblings from the federal trade commission. But Mr. Daugherty has so effectually knocked that body on the head that it has become little more than a board with berths for political lame ducks. The packing .nterests concerned evidently have been assured that they will not be required to go into court because of the deal. Farmer and stockmen’s organiza tions were opposed to the combina tion. It was their contention that the merger would give the new con cern control of 40 per cent, of the buying, and that it thus would be such a factor in the market that it "Would be able to depress prices merely by being late in appearing of mornings as a bidder. Maybe so; but It was the contention of former Senator Kenyon that the five big packers were able to accomplish the same result merely by wriggling their eyebrows at each other; that they had a set of signals with which they eliminated actual competition. If Kenyon is right, the objection of the farm organizations is superflu ous. — In fact, there is no reason why big organizations should be feared if they are willing to submit to regula tive legislation that experience has proved is necessary to safeguard the public’s interests against abuses that unscrupulous executives have been found guilty of In the past. A combination of the kind under dis cussion should make for economy in operation, and the pockethooks of both sellers of stock and buyers of meat should he benefited. With the stockyards act, a secretary of agri culture of the type of Mr. Wallace can be depended upon to keep a weather eye for unfair practices. The Armour interests are not de luded by Attorney General Daugh erty’s softness toward so-called Big Business. They form a permanent Institution, while Daugherty’s days in Washington are numbered. The next attorney general may be of what is known as the fire eater type, who will burn the midnight oil try ing to find something on which to hale the Armours Into court. It therefore behooves the new concern to walk warily, for the record It makes will be scrutinized with a microscope by all those suspicious of such, amalgamations of capital. J. Ogden Armour and his staff have great executive ability. Mr. Armour grows in stature and stand ing as his purpose to serve the pub lic in a bigger, better way becomes apparent. As long as his desire for service to mankind exceeds personal ambition all will be well. “Ze Ceety Pays.” From the Decatur Herald. A writer In the Municipal Review watched a happy Italian family holding a picnic in a city park. At the conclusion of the feast one of the younger members took a pasteboard biscuit box, tore it to pieces and allowed the wind to scatter them In all directions. The observer remonstrated with tlx father. "My friend,” he said, “don’t yoc think h Is a mistake to let that hoy teat up that paper? Don't you know that evtry piece h »s to be picked up, and that you and I help to pay for It?” Hut the father only smiled. "An, no,” he said. "It Is olrlght. Ze ceety peeck him up; we no pay.” Childish reasoning? Not at all. It's n sample of American thinking almost uni versal. Smash a curbstone with a truck or knock over a light standard. Who aares?

Mer Rouge, La., .Tan. 1.—The latest mystery of Morehouse parish, the kid naping of Harold L. Teegrestrom, had not been solved Monday night. He was to have been an Important wit ness In the Ku Klux Klan hearing at Bastrop next Friday, according to the authorities. The parish was in a fever of excite ment Monday night. Nine men were reported. slated for arrest Tuesday, charged with the ipurder of F. T. Richards and Watt Daniels, the vic tims of a white robed, hooded band that carried them Into the forest last August. Their bodies were found two weeks ago in Lake La Fourche. A dozen additional department of justice men reached Vjfire Monday eve ning. It was said they had come to Investigate the kidnaping of Teegre strom. Teegrestrom was timekeeper for the Southern Carbon company at Spyker, La. He worked In the mill where T. J. Burnett, the former dep uty now under arrest In connection with the murders, was employed. Testimony Important. Burnett Is said to be prepared to prove he was at the Spyker mill when the hooded men captured Daniels and Richards. The testimony of the timekeeper would be important In this connection. Sixteen men wore said to have carried Teegrestrom away from the mill. A few hours later he appeared at the home of a relative, according to reports, borrowed $45 and said he was going to leave the country. Friends of Burnett claim Teegre strom was spirited away by enemies of the deputy. On the other hand, antl-Klansmen claim the timekeeper was carried away by Klunsmen who did not want him to testify that Bur nett was not working on the day of the Daniels and Richard murders. Hostilities Feared. The military authorities took pre cautions Monday to prevent an out break of hostilities If arrests are made Tuesday. It was reported an antl-Klan faction had organized to drive Klansmen out of the parish. Colonel Guerro. in charge of the military forces, told the soldiers to be prepared to preserve law und order. He told them not to “waste a shot” if they were opposed. Mrs. Richards, widow of one of the slain men, re ceived a New Year's gift of $25, sent by two New Orleans men. Their names were not revealed. Anti-Klan Sentiment Grows. Four northern Louisiana parishes are being combed for evidence by se cret service men. Squads of men. some of them accompanied by details of soldiers, have gone into Claybourn, Ouachita and Union parishes, as well us Morehouse. The wave of sentiment against the Klan Is Increasing. Opponents of the Klan who “laid low" before the au thorities of the state and federal gov I eminent penetrated the district, have come out openly In their opposition. State authorities eye said to fee! that in the coming trial of Burnett and Dr. Mc.Koin, the latter arrested at Balti more where he had gone after the slayings, could safely be left in the hands of the Morehouse parish au thorities.
