the American people with the i'm

The Presidents departure was in
great contrast to his arrival two
months ago. There was very little
ceremony. His special train, which
left Paris in a downpour of rain last
night, drew into the station here
shortly after 10 o'clock. Two thou
sand American soldiers from Camp
Pontanezzen and a naval guard of
honor lined the track on both sides.
A military band rlayed the national
anthem as the President left the
train. Gen. Helmick, Gen. Butler,
their staffs, some French military
of1cers, the mayor, a few American
civilian officials and a number of
Red Cross nurses constituted an in
formal reception committee.
Would Stop Brest "scandnI.,
One of the latter conversed with
Mrs. Wilson and asked that she stop
the talk about conditions being awful
III Brest," declaring that such reports
were untrue. Mrs. Wilson expressed
her qualification at the statement and
assured the nurses she would do what
she could to counteract the reports.
Later the President was approached
Dy the nurses in the same way and
ne gave the same assurance as Mrs.
Wilson.

dent and his personal party to the

ed IN the outer harbor, about a mile
from the dock. Capt. Tardieu and
Marine Minister Leygues accompan-
led the President to the liner. The
fact that the dock was partly encIos-

witnessing the Presidents arrival and
embarkation.

Japan toward thE league. evidenced
In yesterdays session, occasioned no
worry. as FraEce merely wanted
greater guaraDtees of military pro-
tectlon and japan wants to see some
clause incorporated for racial equal
lty. But The Americans hold the
view That Germany will be virtually
d1sarmed through the provision OF
the draft which limits the manu-
facture of war materials to cor
respond to the size of army allowed
by the league. She will be impotenr
because, no matter how many men
she trained for fighting, they would
have insufficient guns and ammuni-
tion.
The President was in fine spirits
as he embarked. He will spend
most of his time during the voyage
in resting. He expects to decide on
the appointment of a new Attorney
General en- route.

MUST HASTEN
SHIPS RELEASE
Shipping Board Will Ask
War Department for
Relief.

The War Department will be asked
this week to hasten the release of
ships to meet the demands of ex-
porter. More than 10000 tons Of
cargo is on Atlantic coast docks
awaiting transportation to foreign
ports. This sudden resumption of ex-
port trade has made the needs for
more commercial ships urgent, ac-
cording to Chairman Hurley of the
Shipping Board.
Although war office officials have
said during the week they had re-
turned to the Shipping Board all ves-
sells which could be spared, it was
understood Hurley would put up the
question of dividing the space for
them. He said the exports must be
handled and hopes to obtain a grad
ually increasing number of ships with
which to meet the commercial de-
mands.
Appeal to England.
Attempts are being made to obtain
more bottoms from England. These
will be used, if the arrangement Is
made, in carrying relief cargo to the
stricken countries for the Hoover
commission, it was stated.
According to figures made public
officially last night. H,915 tons Of
American shipping are employed un-
der the Hoover commission and 92,7o0
tons in Finnish, Czecho-Slovak and
Armenian-Syrian work.
In this connection. it was admitted
that few, il any. of the vessels used
in transporting relief cargo brings
cargo back. They come back in bal
last, and the world loses that much
transportation. it is pointed out.
The Shipping Board has established
a new office in London. its object be-
ing to procure cargo for the return
ing relief ships.

In the House. the only reference to

WAS WORRIED
ABOUT DAUGHTER
Mrs. Lawless' Little Girl Was Pale,
Thin and SaIlOw-Tanlac Makes
Her Picture of Health.

"The big improvement in my IA
year-old daughters condition dur
| ing the past two or three months
makes me think that Tanlac is tha
most wonderful medicine in the
world" said Mrs. John Lawless,
who lives at Wyoming, Ill, while
( in Sutliff & Cases drug store in
| Peoria the other day.
Ever since my daughter was
small child" continued Mrs. Law
less, ''she has been in very poor
health. When she was just two or
three years old, she was the most
nervous child / ever saw in my life,
and just simply cried nearly all the
time. AS she grew older this
| trouble seemed to grow worse with
| her, and few years ago we discov-
cred that she was suffering with a
| bad stomach trouble She never
had much appetite, and what little
we did coax her to eat would cause
her to suffer terribly afterwards.
ad she finally got to where she
rarely ever retained what she ate.
Very often her whole body would
be covered in a kind of rash. She
didn't grow very fast, and was so
pale and thin and sallow that she
just looked like a walking skeleton,
almost. We gave her the very best
I of treatment, and tried many diff
! ferent kinds of medicine, but
nothing seemed to do her any good
at all.
We'll, we finally decided to let
her try a bottle of Tanlac and see
what that would do for her, and 1
just wish you could see her now.
! Why, she is as well and happy as
any child you ever saw, and in
stead of being pale and thin like
| she used to be, she is simply the
| picture of health. Her cheeks are
as rosy, and she is as round and
| plump as if she had been enjoying
| the best of health all her life. Why.
| she is growing SO fast that l will
soon have to make all her clothes
larger for her. She eats just any
| thing We give her at meal time, and
never suffers the least bit after
wards, and she has a fine appetite,
| too. While she was in that puny,
! sickly condition she didn't do much
good at school, but she is doing
just fine now, and never seems to
have a bit of trouble with her stud
les. The way Tanlac has improved
| my daughters condition goes to
prove that it is just as good medi-
cine for children as it is for grown
! people. Tanlac was certainly a
Godsend to my little girl, and we
never lose a chance to tell others
about this wonderful medicine"
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by
Bengston's drug store.-(Adv.)
