 WILSON'S IA POINTS

Paris, Dec. 25.-"All the belliger- ents have accepted President Will sons fourteen points and the onIy question to be discussed is their in- terpretation" said Count von Bern- storff, former German ambassador to the United States, in giving his opln- ion of what Germany's attitude would he at the peace conference. according to the Geneva correspondent of the Matin.
 When he was asked by the cor respondent what attitude Germany would adopt toward the east, he re- piled: 4ho
 "Al the questions concerning the new states which have sprung up on the Russian rontier are the affairs of the allies. Let them disentangle things at best they can. We wash our hands of Russia.

 0VERTAKES DANCE PARTY

While going to the Country Club dance last night on West Fifth street an auto truck coming along Cherry ran into the car being driven by Paul Colbert. in which were four others Those in the car besides Mir. Colbert were Basil Wilson and Misses Dor athy Galliger and Frances Royston.
 The automobile was struck and turn ed over twice, pinning the occupants underneath. Both of the young men were very painfully injured, but whether their hurts will prove serious could not be learned,
 Tom Gadberry and others were soon on the scene of the accident and con- veyed the injured to local hospital, where they were given surgical atten- ton. Inquiry elcted the information that the young ladies were not injured perceptibly, though Miss Royston is said to have complained of consider able pain. She and Mir. Wilson were conveyed to their homes, but Mir. Col bert and Miss Galliger went to the dance after the former had his injur- ies dressed.
 Colbert received several cuts about the forehead and ears of more or less serious nature. also his back was pretty badly bruised. Mir. Wilson re- ceived bad injury to his arm as we'll as other bruises. The clothing of the young ladies gave evidence that they i had been in a wreck, as most of their clothes were badly torn
 It is said that the truck belonged to the Magnolia Petroleum company, but it is not known who was driving the machine. Immediately after the accl- dent the driver abandoned the truck, and at late hour last night no one could say who or where he was.

II. HOOVER
 ESTIMATES
 HUN HAVOC
On Basis of Report Admin istration Contemplates Shipment of Additional Tonnage.

Washington. Dec. 25.-Physcal damage wrought in Belgium by the German armies is described in a cablegram received by the food ad- ministration from Herbert Hoover, who. with William B. Poland, has just completed survey of condi- tions there.
 On the basis of Mir Hoover's re- port, the food administration amour ced today that hereafter 1S0000 tons of supplies, including clothing, would be shipped to Belgium each month. As this will require 160,000 dead weigh tons of shipping an addition to the 340,0 ,000 tons now on charter to the relief commission, application for additional tonnage has been made to the shipping board.
 The cost of the entire relief pro- gram will be borne by the Belgian and French governments from loans made by the American government. Frances part of the expense will be for supplying the people of north ern France as well as several hundred thousand refugees who. were forced from that section into Belgium dur HE Clc IclICdC Ol CIlC NICIiIldIl lOICcS. MT. Hoover's report says:
 "Together with MT. Poland, Euro pean director of the commission for relief in Belgium, I have now com pleted survey of the entire Bel gian situation as disclosed by the evacuation. The work of the Amer ican relief officials in Europe in the ] last two months has been beyond all praise. They have followed up the retreating army with distribu- tions and there has been no break in the food supply at any point.
 "Prior to the armistice the German army had completely enclosed zone of railroads and canals, some twenty miles wide, extending entirely across Belgium. After the armistice there was comparatively little destruction of transportation to the rear of this zone and with the rapid rehabilita- tion of transportation facilities across this zone of destruction, the problem of distribution of food and o1 reconstruction can be undertaken with much less difficulty than at. present

RELEASED RUSSIAN
 REFUGtES POLUTtD WITH BOLSHEv|KISM

Warsaw, Monday, Dec. 23.-(By the Associated Press. .)-The flocks of released Russian prisoners making their way homeward through Poland, all appear to be tainted with Bolshe- vism and are recognized as a danger in this respect by the Polish authori- ties, are in fact causing much trouble by their lawlessness in their search for food.
 The Bolsheviski are taking advant- age of the penniless plight of these first thousands of released prisoners whose total number is estimated at two million and have picked up sever al thousand of them for their army by offering the men clothes, food and money, of the last of which there is plenty since the Bolsheviki control the printing presses for the produc- tion of rubles. The first important arrests have just been made of Bol- sheviki emissaries who are arriving from Russia with millions of rubles for the purpose of agitation and are spending several thousands of rubles daily. Four men were taken in GUS todv on this occasion. They claim ed they had the right to spend theil
 money as freely as they pleased. The, are declared to be for the most mart Russian Jews, nearly all of then hearing passports issued by Count Kessler, who was expelled from here a week aoo as representative of the German Berlin government.

CONFERENCE
 CONFINES IN
 THREE WEEKS
Presidents Influence Al most as Great in England as it is in France"

Paris, Dec 25.-(By the Associat- ed Press. )--More than three weeks probably will elapse before the gen. eral peace conference assemblies. It is unlikely that any official statement will be issued in the meantime con- corning the number of governments to be represented or the tests to be applied to determine tn right of ap- delegations of the principal powers plicants to participate.
 Technical experts attached to the delegations of the principal powers already have given much study to i this subject. If negotiations to reach an agreement on this point have not undertaken already it is certain they will be immediately af- ter President Wilson's return from London.
 Notwithstanding the indisposition of the British government to inject business into Mir. Wilson's visit, it is possible. that in his conferences with Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Minister Balfour the founda- tion may be laid for settlement of the question of representation which
 
 1 with Premier Clemenceau.
 Paris, Dec. 19.-Out of. the seem- ing inactivity which marks the stay ] ir Paris of the American peace mission. one point emerges with in- creasing clearness, and that is the wisdom of President Wilson's course in personality heading the delega- tion. Americans who had previously opposed the Presidents trip now ad- init that without his presence the commission would have been en- gulfed in a sweep of international politics. and such commitments as America has made would have small chance of attainment.
 l It is fair to say that the commits sion has done nothing of an official nature since arrival. That comment does notg,apply to the president. He has held tho center of the stage from the moment he set foot upon the soil of France and he has projected his personality to the furthest end of the nation. How profoundly his 1influ- ence is felt is we'll reflected by this remaerk made to me last night at the American embassy, where the president was the guest of honor py a Frenchman of distinction in the hearing of a prominent Englishman and several American guests: | President Wilson can upset the government of France whenever he chooses, provided he adheres to thc principles which have made him ven- erated and beloved" The English man assented to this. adding that the 1

WASTED HALF THE
 MONEY HE MADE
Bought Medicines for Five Years but Got no Relief.
 Tanlac Restores Health

After spending fully half the mon- ey I made during the past five years on medicines that did me no good, a few bottles of Tanlac put end to my troubles so that now a hard days work never even tires me- said J. J. Harrington, of 423 South Ohio street, Butte, Mont. the other day.
 About five years ago" he con- tinued, q had an attack of fever, that left me with such an awful cough that it looked like I would never get rid of it, although I took about every cough medicine there is on the mar ket. It would keep me up at nights, and if l exerted myself in any way it would start up and I would almost cough my head off before could stop. This last year or so my stomach went back on me, I lost my appetite. and what little I forced down soured and bloated me up with gas till I was mis- erable for hours afterwards. Then suffered from pains all through my chest and around my heart. Many time I would come home from work with such a raging headache that I would go straight to bed. My nights were so restless that could get but little sleep, and I would get up in the morning feeling tired and Jagged out and worse than when l went to bed
 When I read so much about Tan lac I asked my wife to get me a bot tie, but my trouble was so stubborn that it was not till I was on my third bottle that I noticed any improve ment. First my appetite started up, and soon after that my stomach got all right and, did not trouble me any more. Gas stopped forming as my in- digestion improved and the misery in my chest and around my heart stop ped for good. My cough too, has en- tiretly disappeared. I sleep like log at night and haven't had a headache since I finished my second bottle of Tanlac. My constipation has been corrected and now feel so well and strong that I am equal to any job. no matter what it is
