Tribute TO Medicine Which She
Says brought Immensur-
nble Relief.

Most diseases start in the stomach.
From there they find their way to the
kidneys. liver. bladder and other or
gans. Diseases of the stomach may
come on so gradually that the patient
is hardly aware of their approach until
they have made such inroads that the
pain cannot longer be ignored 1t is
just such cases as these that are most
stubborn to yield to treatment and
require medicine of extraordinary
power and virtue before they are
finally overcome and driven from the
system.

sion" into Germany as part OF the Amer

GERMAN SPy'S LETTERS
RAP PRESIDENT WILSON
Papen Correspondence Gives Hint
of Audacity of Plotters in
German Embassy.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Senate
Committee, investigating German propa-
gands. received In evidence yesterday
letters which the British Military In
telligence Service obtained when General
Allenby captured Nazareth They were
found among the effects of Major Franz
Won Papen, once Military Attache in
Washin gton, who fed two hours before
the British entered Nazareth, and left
behind great mass of documents. Won
Papen WAS on the staff of General Lii
man Won Sanders, German Commander
of the Turkish armies which met dis
astrous defeat at the hands OF the British.
One of the letters was from DIR. Bern
hard Dernburg, former head German
propagandist to this country, who wrote
he was advocating that I'VE take Ru-
MANIA" and who also made a veiled
reference regarding submarine activities
against Holland and the Scandinavian
countries. He said that love and pa
triotism,' so far as the Fatherland was
concerned. were working through the
stomach"
Several letters were from Captain Boy
Ed In one Boy-Ed inclosed the copy
of q letter from Herr Hossenfelder, ap-
psrently lodger st the German Club
IN New York, and on intimate terms
with members OF the German Embassy
Staff. In this Hossenfelder admitted the
truth of plot charges made against Ger
man agents and diplomats, as well as
the falsity of the German charge that
the Lusitania was armed when torpedoed
by U-boat He said that the whole
German case in the Lusitsnia oontro-
versy was based on the imagination Of
Gustav Stanl, now in the custody of the
authorities in New York. In his letter
to Won Papen, Boy-Ed made it plain
that he might shoot Hoesenfelder If they
ever met.

KNOX WOULD BLOCK
WILSON NATION LEAGUE
Penna. Senator Wants No Binding
eace, But Peace Understand
ing With European Powers.

Washington, Dec 1g.-InsistIng that
the project for League Of Nations ought
to be subordinated to the consideration of
peace terms at the Versailles Conference,
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, in speech
yesterday, urged what he characterized as
"new American doctrine" Under the
Pennsylvania Senator's idea, there would
be no definite League of Nations, formally
created as such, but an understanding
for concerted action" by America and
European Powers with interests in COM
mon when their freedom and peace are
menaced"
Senator Knox argued that the spirit
of the Monroe Doctrine must be pre-
served as fundamental principle OF
American diplomacy. He maintained
that il made the United States "the
potential ally of the defenders of lib
erty whenever n great menace shall
arise" As a corollary to the Monroe
,, Doctrine, he argued, there is the event
uahty of European states with which
the United States holds common inter
est being menaced, and in such hap
pening. he said, the United States could
j join with the aggieved nations.
Mr.. Knox did not argue against the
project for the League of Nations be-
| ing considered at the Peace Conference,
but insisted that, if taken up, it should
be after the Allies had imposed their
terms upon the Central Powers. He ex-
pressed doubt that the American peo-
| pie wanted President Wilson to force
| the League of Nations idea upon the
early deliberations of the Peace Con-
| ference
| Senator Knoxs speech came after the
! foreign relations committee, following
| a two hours discussion, had agreed TO
| put off until next Saturday vote upon
/ the Knox resolution expressing the SEN
timent of that body that the League OF
| Nations idea be segregated from the
| consideration Of peace terms.
| The foreign relations committed
postponed its vote yesterday because the
members had not had sufficient time
to discuss it. The Democratic members
insisted that to take action Mt this time,
before the President had declared his
| position at the Peace Conference,
would be premature.
| Senator Pittman of Nevada replied 70
| Senator Knox, declaring that both N
his address and resolution he was
confusing in the minds of the people
of this country and the world the causes
that led us into the war and the as
| pirations of nation In making peace
