Peculiar Articles of Commerce.

Dried lizards are said to be an arti-
Gle of merchandise regularly imported
into this country. They come from
China, to supply a demand by Chinese
residents in the United States. They
are supposed to possess much medi-
cinal virtue when ground to powder
and mixed with certain other curative
substances. The Chinese used dried
toads for tonic, sailed scorpions for
smallpox and fossil crabs as an anti
dote for poison.

Washington, Jan. 21.--In the
Ford-Newberry Michigan Senatorial
election contest, the Senate Privi-
leges and Election Committee late
today ordered a favorable report on
Chairman Pomerene's resolution au-
thorizing an immediate Investigation

the ballots. AL. Democrats present
and Senator Kenyon, Republican,
supported the resolution, which will
be reported to the Senate for its dis
position,
Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania,
and Kellogg. of Minnesota, Republi-
cans, protested against the commit
tees action, declaring it illegal. Sen
ator Knox declined to vote on the
Pomerene resolution and Senator
Kellogg, after lively clashes with the
Democratic members, left the COM
mittee room before the vote was ia
ken.
Senator King, of Utah, Democrat,
said he would oppose immediate hear
ing by the committee unless it was
clearly demonstrated that valuable
evidence otherwise would be lost. He
agreed with Senator Knox and Kel-
logg that the present Senate was not
authorized to settle the contest and
that the matter should go over for
disposition by the next Senate.
Democrats voting to- report the
Pomerene resolution were: Pomer-

BoboIink Restored to Favor.

By reason of its depredations on

it has become almost harmless. Hence

SAYS Mr.. LANSING IS WRONG
Law Expert of Columbia University
Declares an international Tribu-
nal Could Try Wilhelm

Washington, Nay 6.-The reputed
attitude of the American delegation at
the Paris conference in opposition to
the trial Of the kaiser by an "interna-
tionaI tribunal is challenged in 3
statement from Ellery c. Stowell, for
merIy associate professor Of interna-
tional law in Columbia University.
Unless reports from Paris are incor-
rect, Secretary Lansing has taken the
position that the former kaiser could
not be tried by an international TIL
bunal" Professor Stowe1, who was
secretary to the second Hague confer
ence and secretary Of the American
delegation to the London naval con-
ference, holds that the kaiser may be
tried on the charge of having violated
international law and that If tried, it
should be before an international
tribunal, which would be more com
petent to try him than, the tribunal
OF any one nation.

SPEED UP SAILING SCHEDULE
Official Announcement Says President
Wilson Is Determined To Bring
Boys Back as Soon as Possible.

Washington, May determination
of President Wilson, indicated in press
advices from Paris, that no American
troops shall continue on German soil
for longer period after the signing
Of the peace treaty than may be neces-
sary to embark them for home, is
borne out by present plans of the
war department, which contemplate
the return of the entire American ex-
peditionary forces by September. Be
cause Of this General March, chief Of
sta0ff, is making every effort to speed
up the rehabilitation in this country.
An official announcement issued to-
day as to the accumulation of surplus
clothing for the troops stated that the
estimates were based on troop with
drawals to be completed in Septem-
ber-" The statement also said that eff
an army Of occupation is maintained
after September, portion Of this sur
plus will be needed.
This computation was taken to re-
fleet exactly the present information
Of the department as to future troop
movements.
The September date represents esti-
mates by embarkation officials as to
the maximum possible speed in with
drawing the entire force in Europe, in
Guiding the troops holding the Coblenz
bridgehead sector on the Rhine. If
anything, officers anticipate that the
movement will be accelerated rather
than retarded.
The schedule has been exceeded re-
Gently and in increasing measure from
week to week with an Indicate month
ly movement Of 100000 men. The best
predictions of General March and his
aides bid fair, it was said, to be more
than realized.
General March returned today from
a personal inspection of demobiliza-
ton centers in the Southeastern de-
partment, completing the personal
survey he began with Secretary Baker
before the latter sailed for France.
At each of the camps visited the chief
of staff insisted that the forty-eight-
hour period for the passage of troops
from the camps into civil life be main

The BELGIAN PEOPLE AEGERED
King Albert Petitioned to Refuse 70
Sign Treaty Because Of Fail
ure Of Demands.

Brussels, May 5.-A petition pre-
scented to King Albert by the national
political committee urges him to re-
fuse to sign the peace treaty 1t de-
cIares the nation would gain prestige
in the eyes of the world if her soTer-
eign declined to attach his signature
to a document which did not guarantee
her rights.
In the last few days" the petition
says, vast bodies have joined US. We
echo public opinion, which is constant
" growing, and which is indignant
at the little which is offered US for
the safety Of Belgium and the dynasty.
We beg your majesty to refuse to sign
the treaty rather than accept aims
given US. By leaving the conference
Belgium would show the immortality
of a peace signed without her.
BY sacrificing herself, she would
gain prestige in the eyes Of the world
and the nations would demand that
justice should be done her. We be
heve it would be better to risk having
nothing rather than abdicate our
rights to the reparation and guaran-
tees promised by most solemn assur-
ances. In the midst Of the nations
distress we commit to your hands our
desire and confidence"

noon, which lasted two and a half
hours, it was decided to recall TO this
city the three Belgium delegates
whose presence is needed at a further
council to be held tomorrow in the

Because the last legislature refused

expense Of compiling history of Kan

letters and pictures which are coming
