cloudy, full of sediment. channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.

LODGE CREATES
STIR BY MOVE
TO BACK WILSON
Introduces Resolution to En-
dorse Establishment Of In
dependent Poland.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. 49,
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, Re.
publican leader of the senate. created
a stir in the upper house Monday by
introducing resolution to indorse
the thirteenth of President Wilson's
fourteen peace articles. The thirteenth
article relates to the establishment
of Polish independence.
Senator Lodge told the senate he
had reliable information that there
was a movement afoot to prevent the
setting up of strong Polish state and
explained that he was anxious to have
the senate pledge itself to support
President Wilson's exact language.
The Massachusetts, senator's move
caused such surprise on the Demo-
cratic side that in their perplexity adj
ministration leaders blocked the i'm
mediate adoption Of the resolution.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, chair
man of the legislative committee, in
sisted on having it referred for ex'
animation and drew some sharp COM
ment from Senator Lodge.
Explains His Resolution.
Explaining his resolutions, Senator
Lodge said:
THE words of the resolutions are
identical with the words of Point Ii
used by the president in his fourteen
points. That statement is very brief
and very explicit and l think it will
be very WELL at this time, for the
senate to join itself with the president
in that statement in regard to Poland.
1.-The reason why ] say that Is this:
You will observe that the president
speaks of access to the sea. That ac-
cess to the sea can only be at Dant-
zig at the mouth Of the Vistula. The
Vistula is inhabited entirely along
both banks by Poles. Dantzig is
German city and | have already seen
attempts to save it as a German city.
II must continue to hold it and give
certain rights to the Poles. The ac-
cess to the sea that the Poles will get,
if Dantzig is held, will not be worth
having. Guarantees can be given to
the people of Dantzig. think moth
ing is more important than the presi-
dents proposition about access to the
sea
Want to Break Up Poland.
"My other reason for offering it is
that have information, which l think
good, that there Is movement on
foot. strong movement, though I'M
derground here and abroad, to prevent
the establishment of a strong indie
pendent Poland. They want to break
1t up, for some reason, and have II
small state. Germany proposed
IIapsburg prince and now probably 1t
will be small republic in form but
tending towards inferiority.
II thought at this moment that it
would be well to show that the SEN
ate was with the president in his
statement with regard to what should
be done for Poland, which was abso-
lutely explicit"
