One of the most peculiar Of all dis
eases is filariasis, common in the trop-
les. In the blood OF persons suffer-
Ing from it there are found innurner-
able little worms that can be seen only
by the aid of microscope. These
are present only at night In the blood
that is circulating. At about five
o'clock In the afternoon they begin to
appear In the blood. having been hid
den away in the body until this time
and then they remain In the circula-
ton until about midnight, when they
begin to diminish. BY eight or nine
o'clock in the morning they have all
disappeared, and a search Of the blood
under the microscope after this fails

In eertaln large blood vessels deep In
the body, especially in the lungs,
where they remain hidden until they

The parasite Is conveyed to human
beings by the bite of certain kinds OF
mosquitoes. The mosquito bites and
takes from man, or from some ami
NAL, as the case may be, blood which
contains these small worms. In the
stomach Of the mosquito (the interme-

certain definite changes or metamor-

Keep Moving Up.

To be worth moving mp you must
keep up. There are thouss DDS Of things
In which you must keep up. It's not
enough to think well in terms Of bust
ness. The average business man must
watch his habits, dress, speech. and
eompsnionship. They are all sign
boards Of his standing. The man
above the average takes care of every
thing that advertises him and his busl-
ness. he can afford to let others ex-
plot the freakish and the startling. He
takes care that whatever he does or
wears tells OF the man OF Judgment
and good taste. Call II waste time
II you want 20. A few years OF OBJ
servation will show the wisdom OF
his position. SO the thing is TO mem
tally and efficiently move up. The
visible transfer will come with the
bigger pay as soon as you are prepared
TO handle the Job.-Grlt.

any plan Of representation yet sng-
gested, would give them much greater
power In world affairs than they now
WELD.
In The United States senate there is
likely to be a showdown on the league
of nations plan in very short time,
as it's opponents, and others, too, feel
that the president should know def
nitely the majority opinion of the body
that must finally accept or reject the
peace treaty that he and his col
leagues assent to at Versailles. Though
the Republicans in the senate are
nearly all opposed to the presidents
plan to make the organization of the
league part Of the peace treaty, they
do not stand alone. Quite a number
of the Democratic senators also are
against that proposition, believing
that at least the question should be
made the subject of a separate treaty
after matters relating directly to the
war shall have been disposed of.
As for the freedom of the seas, the
expression is now interpreted to mean
that Britain may not at one and the
same time have the largest navy and
be the exclusive interpreter of sea
laws, and this it is believed Britain
VIII accept, conserving to an agree
ment among nations regarding the
laws and rules of the sea to which all
must submit.

The entente nations are rather
coldly and skeptically watching the
apparently desperate efforts OF the
new German government to establish
itself. The distrust of the Hun, en-
gendered by the war and destined TO
last for generations, is applied to pres
ent events and the attitude of the
conquerors is rightly one of cynical
watchfulness. The revolution" was
in the main so easily and smoothly
accomplished and the unprotesting pill
lars of autocracy are so rapidly slid
ing into positions of power behind
the nominal heads of the peoples
government that there is reason to be
suspicious. Hindenburg still controls
a large part of the army and his I'M
explained intention of forming a new
defensive line few miles from the
Rhine has been accepted by Ebert and
his colleagues. Such men as Prince
Max and the treacherous and hypo-
critical Won Bernstorff are still pow
ers in the land. 1t almost seems that
the only genuine, sincere advocates of
real revolution in Germany are the
bolsheviki. Under the leadership of
Liebknecht and Ledebour. they are I'M
remltting In their struggle to overturn
the Ebert government, their latest
manifestation being bloody revolt In
Berlin last week. Mutinous sailors
seized the red palace and neighboring
buildings and for two days fought the
republican guard. about 100 persons
being killed. The sailors demanded
that Ebert and Haase resign, to be
replaced by Ledebour and Liebknecht.
In the end the mutineers were forced
to surrender and were permitted to
leave the city under guard.
This was regarded as a virtual vic
tory by the Spartaeides. and next day
they seized the plant of the Socialist
organ VOrwaerts and the offices of
the Prussian war ministry, and an
nounced that they would at once pro-
claim the downfall of the Ebert gov
eminent. The chancellor called out
all the troops in Berlin. This was the

mas week In France and England.
After two days of conference in which
several pressing problems. notably that

plies of Europe, were thoroughly dis

were taken to Chaumont to spend
Christmas day with the American
troops there. General pershing was
his host. but the president devoted
much of his time to the doughboys and
both he and they enjoyed the day i'm
mensely. A review of 10000 American
troops was a feature of the days do

said: at was the privilege of Amer
lea 10 present the chart for peace and
now the process of settlement has
been made comparatively simple by
the fact that all the nations concerned
have accepted the chart"
Next the presidential party Travelled
to Calais and thence 10 Dover and
London, arriving I'm the British capital
Thursday afternoon. Throughout the
trip they were accorded all the honors
that royalty could claim, and the
short drive through London was like
a royal progress. King George, Queen
Mary and Princess Mary met them AZ

acted as escort. As it was holiday

the metropolis seemed to be out, de-

In London there was more than n
hint that the chief object of Mr.. Will
sons visit to England, aside from the
courtesy feature. was to ascertain
definitely the views of the British gov
eminent ca the question of the terms
of restitution to be imposed on Ger
many. 1t was said he had found
opinion on the continent very hard set
on this question, which is not in the
least surprising. The people who
were most directly hit by the hard
ships and horrors of the war are not
likely TO be forgiving and altruistic
in their attitude toward the conquered
Huns. II, as has been often said,

are called, was unexpected. and so

YANKEE OFFICER
PUTS SUDDEN END
To HUN REVOLT

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN Observation-Disclosures, an
American intelligence officer recent
ly put down Revolutionary"
movement in the area on the Rhine
occupied by United States troops.
The first the Americans knew of
the revolt" was when news reached
army headquarters that in Luetz, a
village of 200 population, a red flag
had been hoisted and was waving in
the breeze at the top of a 70-foot
pole When the American officer
arrived in Luetz the revolution, :"
conceived by a society calling itself
"Frohsinn" (Hilarity), and composed
of young men most of whom were
discharged German soldiers, was well
under way and none of the inhab-
itants could enter or leave the vii
lage without proper passport pro-
vided by the society members.
Luetz, like many German villages
in the hills, has no troops in the
town, the army depending upon an
occasional patrol to keep in touch
with events.
The American summoned the
chief official of the town, who in
formed the officer that this was the
third attempt of the "Frohsinnists"
to rule the village, and that the
action was directed against the Cath
Ole priest, for whom the young
men had a pronounced dislike.
The American officer summoned
the executive council of the society,
provided them with pick and shovel
and had them dig up the fagpole.
amid the applause of the conserva-
tive element of the village. He in
structed the burgomaster to with
hold until further notice any au-
thorization for meetings of the Hi
larity," gave the executive council a
dressing down, and instructed the
one German policeman to patrol
Luetz at all hours on Sunday, when
most political meetings are held.
Each member of the executive
council promised to be good here
after and none of the society mem
bers were arrested, They agreed
that the American had convinced
them that revolution did not pay
