Peace Conference May Decide
On Scope of Their Use
in Future Wars.
MEETING IN JANUARY
PreIiminaries to Peace Negotiations
Will Begin Soon After First of
Year and Protocol May Be
Signed in February.

Paris, Nov. 25.-The preliminaries
to the peace negotiations will begin
about JAN /, the Echo de Paris de-
clares, and the protocol will be sign
ed about the end of February. The
paper adds that Premier CIemenceau
will go to London Dec. 4.
Marshal Foch's refusal to accede to
the protestations of the German dele
gates, according to the Matin, will APP
ply to all proposals in the future.
Submarines TO Be Restricted.
Restriction of submarine operations
against merchant ships SO as to pre-
vent attacks like that against the Lusi-
tania doubtless will be proposed in
the discussion by the peace congress
Of the freedom of the seas question
1t is the view of leading naval au-
thorities who have examined this
branch of the subject that submarine
operations should be limited to at
lacking warships forming the regular
part of the navy. Attacks would be
prohibited against merchant ships,
either passenger or freight, and
wise. According to this view subma-
rines would continue to be an arm
of a naval service, but their use would
be confined strictly to naval warfare
Subjects in Formative State.
This and many other subjects to
come before the peace congress are
now in formative state, as it will be
some time, perhaps a fortnight, before
the regular sittings of the inter-Allied
conference are resumed to arrange the
preliminaries of the congress.
In the meantime, none of the Brit
ish, italian or other foreign delegates
are here except Colonel e. M. House,
the American representative to the
conference, who is confined to his bed
with the grippe. Several members Of
his staff also are down with the pre-
vailing epidemic.
Questions Are Discussed.
But those charged with the prelim-
inaries are going ahead and diplO-
matte circles are actively discussing
various phases of the big questions to
come before the congress.
According to information from one
quarter, negotiations for the signing
of preliminaries of peace cannot COM
mence before early in January The
discussion will take about a month
and a half, so that the signing of the
protocol would not occur before the
end of February. This will necessi-
tate a renewal of the armistice which
expires on Dec. IL unless extended be-
fore that time.
lnter-AIied Council to Sit.
Previous to the January sitting of
the congress, however, the inter-Allied
conference will have sessions during
December in which President Wilson
will take part.

Movement to Create Another State

Copenhagen, Nov 25. = German
newspapers report that the United
Workers and Soldiers councils have
proclaimed Oldensburg Oestfrieslaud,
Bremen, Hamburg and SchlesWig-
Holstein a republic. The capital will
be at Hamburg.
The districts named comprise all the
North sea coast of the German en-
pire from Holland to Denmark. Bre-

important German shipping ports and
are free Cities The Kiel canal trav-
erses Holstein.
The movement to withdraw from
Germany and create a separate repub-
lie is gaining ground rapidly in the
Rhineland, according to reports from
Cologne to the Socialist Vorwaerts.
The movement finds strong support
on the part of the Clericals as re-
suit of the Prussian governments an
nouncement of it's intention to discs
tablish the church.
Recent events in Berlin have also
apparently increased the fears of the
Rhinelanders regarding, Bolshevism,
as the correspondent declares.

SP ANISH Influenza
Do Not Fear When Fighting
a German or a Germ!
BY DIR. M. COOK.

The cool fighter always wins and so
there is no need to become panic
stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex-
ercise in the fresh air and practice the
three C's: A Clean Mouth, a Clean
Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry Off
the poisons that accumulate within the
body and to ward off an attack Of the
influenza bacillus, take a good liver
regulator to move the bowels. Such a
one is made up Of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe, root of jalap, and is to be had
at any drug store, and called pleasant
Purgative Pellets"
If bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap
up well, drink freely of hot lemonade
and take a hot mustard foot-bath.
Have the bedroom warm but well ven
tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug
store "Anuric Tablets to flush the
kidneys and control the pains and
aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every
two hours, together with copious drinks
of lemonade. If true case of inf1u-
enza, the food should be simple, such as

but 1t is important that food be given
regularly in order to keep up patients
strength and vitality. After the acute
attack has passed, which is generally
from three to seven days, the system
should be built up by the use Of a good
iron tonic, such as "Irontic" tablets, to
be obtained at some drug stores, or
that well known blood-maker and
herbal tonic made from roots and barks
of forest trees-sold everywhere as DR..

King Albert of Belgium Makes
important Address in
Parliament.
CHAMBER WELL FILLED
Near the Throne Stood General Perish
ing, Representing the American
Army, and General PIumer
of the British Forces.

Brussels, Nov. 25.-King Albert, re-
ceived enthusiastically by the inhabi-
tants of his redeemed capital, made
an important speech from the throne
in parliament-his first utterance in
the capital since almost the beginning
of the war.
Near the throne stood General Per-
shing, representing the American
army, General Plumer, of the British
army, and other generals.
The chamber was filed with mem
bers and in the galleries was the dip
lomatic corps, including Brand Whit
lock, the American minister, who re-
turned Thursday to his post in Brus-
sells.
Equal Suffrage for All.
One of the most vital points in the
kings address dealt with the question
of suffrage for Belgium and in this
connection he said:
''The government proposes to the
chambers to lower, by patriotic agree
ment, the ancient barriers and to
make the consultation of the nation a
reality on the basis of equal suffrage
for all men of the mature age required
for the exercise of civil rights"
Equality of Language Given.
This statement aroused storm of
applause from all of the members. Re-
ferring to the Flemish question King
Albert said:
"The necessity of a fruitful union
demands the sincere collaboration of
all citizens of the same country with
out distinction Of origin or language.
FIemings and WaIIoons to Agree.
"a reciprocal respect for the inter
ests of the Flemings and the Walloons
ought to be an integral principle of
the administration and should give to
each the certainty of being understood
when he speaks his own language and
assure him his full intellectual devel-
opment, especially higher education"
Belgium, he declared:
Belgium, re-established in all it's
rights, will rule it's destinies accord
ing to it's aspirations and in full SOW
ereignty."
In speaking of the manner in which
the war had been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion, King Albert re-
ferred with gratitude to the. great eff
forts of all the Allied countries and
of the United States, "a new and stall
wart ally which added the weight of
her effort, so great and enthusiastic,
to that of the other nations and caused

CASE GOES TO COURTS
Postal Company viii Contest
Government Seizure.
Telegraph Concern Also Opposes
Proposed Consolidation With
the Western Union.

New York, Nov. %. = The Postal
Telegra ph-Cable company will contest
in court the government seizure of
it's properties and proposed consoli-
dation of it's land lines with those of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, Clarence H. Mackay, president,
announced.
He declared taking over of the ca
bles by the government was contrary
to the letter as well as the spirit Of
the law"
"Mr. Burleson announces that he
proposes to merge or consolidate the
Western Union and Postal said Mr..
Mackay. HAS he no fear of the
Sherman antitrust act?
eff the two companies themselves
started out to consolidate or merge,
they would probably be met by an
Injunction by the attorney general of
the United States and would face
jail
1.-THE joint resolution of Congress
authorized the taking over of the tele-
graph lines for national security and
defense but did not authorize or init
mate in the slightest degree that any
merger or consolidation was contem-
plated, expected, or would be tolerated
or that the Postmaster General could
override the acts of Congress. We
shall contest this in the courts if at
tempted"

His Excuse.

One Camp Custer rookie claimed he
should have a deferred classification
and to substantiate his allegation re-
ferred to Deuteronomy 24-5:
"When a man hath taken a new wife
he shall not go to war, neither shall he
be charged with any business, but he
shall be free at home for one year and
shall cheer up his wife which he has
taken"
"Well," said one of the army clerks
after sizing up the bird making the
claim, II guess she would need cheer
ing up if she picked off that lemon"

Secretary OF Treasury and Dr.
rector General of Railways
Will Retire Soon.
MAY STEP OUT JAN. |
President Wilson Accepts Resignation
of His Son-in-Law, but His Sue
cessor Has Not Been An
nounced.

Washington, Nov. %. = William
Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury, director general Of railroads and
often discussed as one of the presl-
Dental possibilities of 1920, has
resigned his offices to return to pri-
vate business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation.
Mr.. McAdoo will give up the treas
ury portfolio as soon as successor
has been selected.
He wished to lay down his work as
director general of railroads by Jan.
/, but will remain if the President has
not then chosen a successor.
On the new secretary of the treas
ury, whoever he may be, will deyolVe
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war
to peace, which probably will include
at least two more Liberty Loans and
possibly also a further revision OF the
system Of war taxation.
Resignation Made Public.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr.. McAdoo, made public with
the announcement of the resignation,
give Mr.. McAdoo's reasons for leaV-
ing the cabinet solely as necessity
for replenishing his personal fortune
and express the Presidents deep re-
greet at losing his son-in-laW from his
official family.
1t is entirely probable the President
may fill separately the Offices of secre-
tary of the treasury and director gen.
eral of railroads. There was nothing
official on which to base statement
of who might be under consideration
for secretary of the treasury.
On previous occasions, when a sue
cessor to Mr.. McAdoo was discussed,
John Shelton Williams, comptroller of
the currency, and W. P. G. Harding,
governor of the Federal Reserve board,
have most generally been mentioned.
Paul Warburg, formerly a member
Of the reserve board and New York
banker, and Russell c.. Leffingwell, as
sistant secretary of the treasury, also
are reckoned among the possibilities.
Railroad Heads Suggested.
President Wilson is not required to
choose the new director general of
railroads from among the cabinet
members, and it is possible the place
may go to someone associated with
Mr. McAdoo in the railroad admins
tration
If the place should go to a member
of the cabinet, Secretary Baker of the
War deDartment Postmaster General
Interior department are likely to be
considered

Navy Continues War Activity.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Until every

department will continue to operate
under war regulations. When Ad-
miral Benson and Vive Admiral Sims
advise him that the naval terms of the

strictions which have been placed on

Chicago, Nov. 25.-A' demand for a

by employees OF packing houses here
is being considered by Judge Samuel
Alschuler, arbitrator. The new wage
demand directly affects nearly $4,000
employees working here as well as in

request for an increase of from So to

tered into last spring.

Homeward Movement Beoun.

Headquarters of the American First
Army, Nov. 25.-While as an effective
military force the American army re-
mains intact, the homeward movement
already has begun. Construction of
all kinds has been stopped and con-
tracts and deliveries cancelled where
possible, and the men whose services
have been in these and other lines of
activity are either enroute to ports or
plans for their emb&rkation are under
