The 1920 year classes will be

All 21-year men have already been

their twenty-first birthday June 5,

to enter college will be inducted into

(special to the Telegraphl


Washington, Sept. II. - In his
latest appeal for a Democratic Con-
gress to support the President. the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee in his home city before
conference called to repudiate the
party's candidate for Governor. inti-
mated that Democrats only were on
guard.
The Republicans as patriots and
voters are loyal to the President in
his vigorous prosecution of the war,
and they have given him the back
bone and stamina that his own party
failed to do in al. critical moments.
They are willing to support him in
every necessary war action he may
propose or undertake., even though
his own party leaders and even
though some of his appointees COM
init colossal blunders and are re-
sponsible for disastrous and expen-
sive delays, as evidenced in the avia-
ton program.
However. as patriots and voters
the Republicans are not unmindful
that only a few months ago there
was a very formidable movement in
favor of peace without victory and
even an advocacy of the fantastic
Bolshevik peace program. There are
signs of a renewal of the action in
| favor of an inconclusive peace with
| Germany and her allies. From
Francs, England and Italy comes
| the warning that America must be
on her guard against such a move
ment. The Republicans therefore
logically insist that the nation can
best be safeguarded against any pos
sible peace action of this kind by the
election of a Republican Congress
nova Congress representative of
the sturdy Americanism which has
animated the Republican party from
the day of its inception, and which
has particularly marked its action
throughout the trying days since
America entered this war, an action
strikingly in contrast with the vacil-
lating, half-hearted attitude of the
Democratic leaders in both branches
of Congress.
In urging the election of a Repub-
lican Congress, and particularly the
election of a Republican Senate, the
Republicans feel sure they are only
striving to register that influence in
governmental affairs which the
| founders of the Republic intended
when they provided that the Senate
should be the final court of appeal
and the last word of authority in the
ratification of any peace treaty to
which this nation is party. mas
much as the President has recently
announced that he is in favor OF
force to the utmost" and the prose-
cution of the war to the complete
| defeat of our enemies, a Republican
House and a Republican Senate
would support and strengthen him in
! his arduous task of prosecuting the
war to victory, and it would also
stand with him firm barrier,
against compromising peace which
would make sacrilege of the sacri-
| flee of blood and treasure which we
have already offered in behalf of free
institutions.

GASIN THE STOMACH

To Overcome Trouble, Caused

Acid Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-

hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Acid stomachs are dangerous be-

and sours creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and hamp-

internal organs. often affecting the
heart
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist a few ounces OF Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a
quarter glass of water right after eat
ing. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body,
sweeten the stomach, neutralize the
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there is no sourness or pain Bis

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have.
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement: II
is a startling fact. the truth of which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swaI-
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsiu
and other strong digesters. made es-
pecially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at ali from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the rundown
stomach and make 1t strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indiges-
tion. belching. sour stomach and head
ache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by II. G.
Kennedy. who guarantees them.-Ad-

ST. .MIHIEL GLAD
TO GIVE WELCOME
TO ITS LEADER
French President Poincare
Visits City Delivered to
Nation by Yankees

With the French Army in France,
Sept. 17.-All the $500 souls at ST.
Mihiel who remained until the day
of delfverance were out yesterday to
welcome President Poincare, who
came to greet them not only as their
President but as their neighbor. His
own villa only a few miles away at
Sampfgny. shows to passersby ON the
road to Toul a gaping she'll hole
where there once was a salon. There
are smaller she'll holes in other parts
of the building, although the walls
still are standing.
Almost every resident of ST. Mihiel
greeted the President, Carving a
trench nag, although no one seemed
to know exactly where the colors
came from. Their demeanor was
that of persons who had been awak
ened suddenly from a horrible night
mare.
st. Mihiel was taken almost with
out struggle. Turned from the
north, south and east by the French
contingent of General Pershing's
forces, the Germans made no show
of defense beyond firing a few
rounds from machine guns in the
outskirts of the town. When the
enemy retired, however, they took
with them seventy-nine boys and
men ranging in age from II to as,
the only ones of those ages remain
ing. Elsewhere in the salient the
Germans tried unsuccessfully to re-
peat the destruction wrought else
where in their retreats.
All the villages they abandoned
were set afire, but not with the usual
thoroughness of the Germans be-
cause of the short time at their dis
posal. Many houses coated with tar
were saved from the flames, and
the damage is as nothing compared
with the destruction along the
Aisne and in the region of the Avre.
