Allied Diplomats Chafe at
Delay in Fixing Policy
for Far East r
INTERVENTION is
STRONGLY URGED
Conflict of Opinion Among the Presi-
dents Advisers Said to Be the Cause
of Delay-Mr. Sisson's Report Is
Closely Guarded.

WASHINGTON, June ia conflict
of opinion among some of the Presi-
dents closest advisers is believed to
be responsible for the delay in formulate
ing definite plan of action with respect
to Russia. Meantime there is evidence
of growing impatience in allied diplo
matte circles at this delay and feeling
that valuable opportunity is being al
lowed to slip by because this government
appears to be without a policy at time
when the initiative in any plan to help
the Russian people, in the opinion of
diplomats, should come from the United
States. sA4{3g
An agitation in favor of intervention
in the form of an expedition into 81
IBERIA either as joint enterprise or by
the Japanese alone is in fun swing in
entente diplomatic circles. Opinion in
these circles seems TO be unanimous in
favor of such action and coupled with
this is always the insinuation that now,
if ever, is the time for such action.
That intervention with clear EXPOSE
tion of it's plan and purpose to help the
Russian people would be successful in
stopping the German invasion and de-
prive the Teutons of the advantage
they are beginning to derive by reason
of the Brest-Litovsk treaty, is unques-
toned by the diplomats But they are
| plainly waiting for President Wilson
1 TO take the lead in bringing about def
\ mite action.
President Wilson has been giving in
4 creasing attention to the Russian prob
lem and has now before him full re
port made by Edgar f. Sisson' of the
committee of public information, who
recently returned from Russia after 6
lprolonged stay. Mr.. Sisson went over tc
observe conditions and engage in propa
ganda work. He has had several con
ferences with the President and is also
understood to have talked with Col
House and officials of the state depart
ment. .DS@sh .lis gal-ss q
| While Mr.. Sisson's report has beer
kept closely guarded, it is understoo,
that it favors action beyond merely tn
circulation of literature.
One plan which has been placed be
fore the president, believed to hav
been prompted by Mr.. Sisson 8 repor,
would have this government, participat
in joint military expedition by way o
Siberia, but would couple this with tn
despatch of several commissions pre-
pared to help the Russian people restor

Over Ten Million Bottles
Sold and Distributed
In Three Years.
SUCCESS ACHIEVED
ALilOST INCREDIBLE
+ a N e OF Medicine
Sweeps Whole Con-
tinent---SOld From
Coast to Coast

Never before, perhaps, in all history
has the demand for proprietary med
lclne ever approached the wonderful
record that is now being made by Tan
lac, the celebrated medicine which has
been accomplishing such remarkable
results III all parts OF the country.
Fhom Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac is
known and honorel. Millions have
taken it and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever gwen to the peo.
pie, and the only oxplanati ton of Tan
laos triumph in the medicinal world is
lanlac's true worth. Back of Tanlac' S
triumph in the drug store is Tanlac S
triumph i'll the homes. 1t is the peo.
pies medicine and the people have
made Ianlac what it is.
No matter where you go, Tanlac is a
household word and it l.; unquestion-
ably the most widely talked-of medi.
cine in the world today. One person
invariably tells another about a medi-
cine that helps him and in this way
scores or even hundreds may hear of
lanlac as direct result of one bottle
III singlc home.
The first Dol !e of Tanlac to reach the
public was sold just little over three
years ago il the thriving little city of
Lexington, Ky, where 10000 bottles of
the medicine were sold in only a few
months. Since that time there have
been sold throughout the United States
something over ten million bottles, and
romance which has no parallel in the
modern business world has begun.
Ihe instant and phenomenal success
which Tail!ac won in Lexington has been
duplicated in practically every large
town, small town, village and hamlet in
North America, Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba.
Porto Rico, and other American DOS.
sessions have clamored for Tanlac.
Just few months ago, it was an
nounced IN the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads, 265 ,476 bottles of
Ianlac had been sold through the At
lanta office alone. Since that time,
2,234,524 bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stand; at over two
million and half bottles.
These are actual figures, and the fact
that two hundred and fifty eight carloads
OF Ianlac have been sold and shipped
into the South and West since the first
day of October, 1915, is a matter of
record and can easily be verified.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co., have sold the astonish-
Ing total Of $4,000 bottles within the
past twelve months. What is true of
Atlanta, is also true Of practically every
large city of the South and West. where
the sales have been correspondingly
large.
The greatest drug firms of the country
nave voluntarily come forward and
stated in plain, cold figures. the record

breaking sales everywhere, as is evil
denced by the startling sales records
shown in the following figures:
Texas and Oklahoma dealers have
sold in only five months time the as.
tonishing total of approximately five
hundred thousand bottles or an average
of 100000 bottles per month, smashing
all worlds record.
Memphis jobber and retailers have
sold since April 3, 1916, 343,56o bottles.
Atlanta jobber and retailers have sold
since October 10, 1915, 1856, 6,4So bottles.
Birmingham jobber and retailers have
sold since Aug. 1S, 1915, 1896 bottles.
Nashville jobber and retailer have
sold since Aug. II, 1915, 165,756 bottles.
Macon jobber and retailer have sold
since November II, 1915, 126o36 bottles.
Jacksonville jobber and retailer have
sold since January RI, 1916, 66, ,6e6 bot.
ties.

bottles.
THESE enormous sales" said C. F.
Willis, International Distributor of Tan
lac, means but one thing, and that is
merit. Tanlac is we'll advertised, it is
true, but such large and rapidly grow
ing demand could not be brought about
by advertising alone. Its what the neigh
bors say that counts. One bottle is sold
! in neighborhood through advertising,
but ten more are sold in that community
after the first bottle produces results. !"
Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Syl-
va by the Sylvia Pharmacy; in Erastus
by NJ. L. Coggins and in Glenville by
w. NJ. Fowler.

Summer Trip Up
the Hudson.
Dear Juniors:


l thought I would tell you Of my
trip up the Hudson river last summer
We got on the boat at New York City.
The name of the boat was the Albany
and It had 4 decks. On the way up
we passed West Point and arrived at
Newburgh about six o'clock. Getting
on the ferry we crossed over to
Beacon. After supper we took an
auto ride to Fishkill, a small town
near Beacon.
There we saw a church that was
used by Washington as prison and
the bars are still on the windows.
Next day we went auto riding again
and visited the asylum where Harry
Thaw was confined but made his es.
cape by climbing over the high fence
and taking an auto. We also visited
Beacon Hill and saw the steepest in
clined railway in the world.
We left by the train in the after
noon and passed Sing Sing peniten-
tiary. When we got to New York
City the train went into the Grand
Central depot. It is a nice depot with
everything there.

1t was built in the year 1S4S, and
among the pioneer members were Mr.

veteran preacher of the church. The
first association was held there In
1858. Oliver Smock preached the an

The church is put up on cement

is a cemetery there and we may speak
of many other residents who have

remains lie in the cemetery nearby
There are twenty-one soldiers who

Gladys Carter - Abraham
Lincoln.

Dear Juniors:
am going to write the story of Alb
raham Lincoln.
Abraham was born in LaRue county,
Kentucky in the year 1909.
Abraham was known as Little Abe"
He had heart of love. He never threw
stones at song birds, or at birds with
beautiful plumage.
Abe's father had rowing disposition.
He was fond Of trapping and would go
away from home and stay for days.
One time Abe and some of his boy
friends took wrong path while wan
dering in the woods and night came on
them before they knew it. The other
lads were frightened, but Little Abe
showed no fear.
Little Abe told them to sharpen a
pole and climb q tree. They did this
and passed, the night in the tree. At
the first streak Of daylight they heard
voice calling. One of the boys called
Here we are" Little Abe. told him to
shut his mouth because that was his
father and that he would give him a
whipping. 1t happened to be Mr.. Lin
coin and Mrs. Lincoln was with him
too, SO Abe didn't get any whipping.
