WONDERFUL RESOURCES OF CHINA IN MEN AND FOOD BACK
' ENTENTE ALLIES IN BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY
Washington, March 7. China
which at the request of President
Wilson severed relations with
Germany and later, on the repre
sentation of the allies declared
war on Germany, has given over
100,000 of her best men to the
cause of the allies. They are be
hind the lines working as mechan
ics, carpenters, bridge and road
builders. They are strong, brave,
and indefatigable and good-humored
workers. For two years or
more they have been crossing the
Pacific and Canada en route to
France in contingents of 2,500 or
thereabouts. Prior to embarka
tion in China they are given a
camp and military training experi
ence for some weeks under the su
pervision of English and Canadian
officers.
Those who have seen these Chi
nese , realize that every one is
hand-picked and that they are all
in the pink of physical condition.
Returning American officers from
France are enthusiastic over the
useful qualities and indispensable
character of the serviceithese Chi
nese are rendering the fighting
armies. They are described as
tractable, cheerful, brave under
fire and able to live on the most
simple fare and one easily supplied.
The question naturally arises.
Why are not a greater number em
ployed in France in the capacity
of workmen or as soldiers? Gen
eral Chang, head of the Chinese
military mission in A.nerica. has
announced that China is willing
to send 500,000 fighting men tp
the western front. The Chinese
minister, Dr. Wellington Koo, in a
speech before the New York
Chamber of Commerce, said that
China could help to win the war
by her resources and by her man
power if given assistance.
Here is the answer to that ques
tion. China needs assistance if
her limitless resources of grain,
raw material and men are to be
made available for the benefit of
her allies. China is poor. Her
credit has been disparaged by
other nations who wished to ex
ploit her, although she has never
failed to pay a debt. At the pres
ent time China cannot borrow ex
cept on onerous terms that offend
her dignity and sovereignty and
impair the commercial opportu;
nity of other nations not parties to
the loan. Wealthy nations such as
England an' France today are sit
uated like China in that they are
not able to borrow money and
their credit is impaired by the
drain upon their resources. To
these countries and other countries
in Europe the United States has
loaned, or will have loaned in the
course of the next few months
$5,000,000,000, but apparently so far
not one cent has been loaned to
China. Yet China umst be finan
cially assisted to make her an ef
fective ally.
The war has cut down the agri
cultural output of the European
allies by fully one-half and the
deficit must be made up by the
United States. If the war should
drag on one or two years more the
United States will suffer seriously,
from a shortage of food and pos-'
sibly man power.- All the allies
will then look longingly at the
world's greatest storehouse, China,
and will look unavailirigly unless
early means are initiated by which
it can be tapped.
One of China's greatest needs is
transportation. With a population
of more than 350,000,000 people
and an area of 4,278,352 square
miles, she possesses only 6,500
miles of railroad. The most fertile
sections and the great wheat fields
are for the most part reached by
railroads as yet only on paper or
by railroads the construction of
which has been stopped by the war.
In some interior districts the local
price of good, hard-grained wheat
is less than 20 cents Mexican
money per bushel Given trans
portation facilities, the quantity
raised would be enormously in
creased over that required for local
consumption and the surplus for
export would be sold at the world's
market price less the cost of rail
road and ocean transportation. The
allied countries would benefit by
the added supply of foodstuff and
the economic condition cf the com
munities served by the railroads
would be vastly improved, v ;

SOLDIER HELD FOR
THEFTOFMILLIONS
Accused of Appropriating Huge
Commissions on French War .
Contracts for Per

Washington, March 6. Charged
with the embezzlement of several mil
lion dollars from the French govern
ment fn dealings with American
motor truck "manufacturers, Frank J.
Goldsoll, retired French soldier, is in
jail here tonight awaiting extradition
proceedings which will begin on
March 20. v
v Goldsoll is accused by the French
embassy of having appropriated to his
own use huge commissions on war
contracts, -which he was sent to the
United States to execute for his gov
ernment f
No Comment.
The prisoner declined to comment
on the case, but his counsel talked
freely, asserting that his arrest was
due to political antagonism. The
French ministry, they said, looked
with disfavor on Gojdsoll's close af
filiations with Albert Thomas, former
minister of munitions, and that
Thomas was the real objective of the
prosecution.
Goldsoll, who is about 45 years old,
was born of Russian-Jewish par
entage in Cleveland, O., but went to
France about 20 years ago and was
naturalized in 1911. When war was
declared in 1914, he enlisted and
served for a year as chauffeur for a
staff officer before being retired for
physical disability. He came to
America in 1916 to place war orders
for motor trucks. His counsel admits
that he made large profits on the de
liveries, but claims this was permitted

ENDORSES TANLAC
"You Will Hardly Know Me
When We Meet Again,"
He Writes a Friend.
One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their
unqualified endorsement of Tanlac
is the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans,
former mayor of Birmingham, Ala.,
ex-state examiner of public acoounts
of Alabama, and at one time editor
of one of the South's greatest news
papers, The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Writinjr to a personal friend in
Atlanta, Mr. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 2.
" By the way, you will
hardly know me when we meet again
because I am getting well and strong
again. As I told you while in Atlanta
last month, I have been suffering a
long time with gastritis, as the doc
tors call itreally a disordered stom
ach with consequent constipation,
pains in the shoulders, headache,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep and fainting spells. For
weeks I could not sleep on my back.
"One week ago, upon recommenda
tion of friends who had tried the
medicine, I purchased one -bottle of
Tanlac and began taking it Since
my second dose I have suffered none
of these troubles to which I refer,
and really believe I am going to get
perfectly well and strong again.
Won't that be wonderful at my age?
Well, certain it is that Tanlac is a
wonderful medicine, and you know
that I am not given to 'puffing' mere
experiments and am rather orthodox
as to materia medica.
"I shall p.nntinna th treatment.
with perfect confidence in the final
results. (Signed)
"FRANK V. EVANS."
Commenting on this splendid en
dorsement of Tanlac,' G. F. Willis, in
ternational distributor, said:
"Although the Ust of prominent
endorsements of Tanlac is a long one,
I recall a few leading names that lend
both dignity and credit to the entire
array. Some of them are:- i
"Hon. C. W. Mangum, of Atlanta,
ex-sheriff of Fulton county, Ga.;
Hon. McEenzie Moss, judge of the
eighth district of Kentucky; Hon.
Moses R. Glenn, superintendent of
printing for the state of Kentucky;
Col. John B. Gains, editor and pub

have heretofore been given to the

Salts in Hot Water
Clears Pimply SVxa
8y we must make kidneys
clean the blood, and pim
ples disappear.
Pimples, sores and boijs usually re
sult from toxins, poisons and impur
ities which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body. '
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means of getting rid of
these impurities, which often break
out all over the skin in the form of
pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity, 1b to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before break
fast for one week. This will prevent
the formation of toxins m the bowels.
It also stimulates the kidneys to nor
mal activity, thus coaxing them to
filter the blood of impurities and
clearing the skin of pimples ,
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent drink which usually makes pim
ples disappear; cleanses the blood
and is excellent for the kidneys as
well. Advertisement.
