FRANCE TAKES CHARGE
m Armenia, Syria, Lebanon.
(By the Associated Press)

Paris. Jan. France plans to as
sumo the guidance of the destinies of
Armenia, Syria and Lebanon in the
new order of world affairs growing
out of the war in conformity with
treaties signed with Great Britain and
Russia in 1915, if the coming peace
conference does not rule otherwise,
according to authoritative informa-
ton furnished The Associated Press.
Palestine, according to the plan I'M
der consideration would with it's COM
plexity of nationalities and religions,
be placed under international protec-
ton. England would be responsible
for the Arabian peninsula, with the
exception of the Kingdom of Hedjas,
which would be free.
France, it is emphaticalIy stated,
eschews the term "protectorate" in
connection with her proposed super
vision of these countries and it is
probable that some such relations with
them as exists between England and
her dominions would be established
under the plan.
These facts were given as an ex-
PLANTATION of a declaration of Stephen
Pichon, foreign minister in the cham
Der of deputies on Sunday, referring
to the manner in which France would
deal with Asia Minor and nationalities
formerly ruled by Turkey. M. Pichon

feelings for the Turks"

POINCARE TO AMERICANS
President of France Sends Message
to Allied People.
lRy the Associated Pressl

Paris, Jan. PRESIDENT Poincare has
sent the following message to the people
II thank The Associated Press for giving
me the occasion of sending once more to
the United States a token of my admira-
ton.
France is very grateful to the American
people for the great part they have taken
in the struggle for right and freedom in
the victories obtained by the allied armies.
II have several times visited the American
troops. 1 have seen them and especially
tSe9 we sne rhnr Before Verdun ana haSe
observed their splendid bearing, their cour-
age, their spirits and their smiling con-
II have seen them also in the towns and
villages where they had their environments.
They were much beloved there by the in
habitants. / recollect. for instance that in
Nancy the people were deeply touched by
the soIicitude the American soldiers showed
to the children.
Thus, not only between our armies but
also between the American troops and
French citizens have been formed the most
intimate relations and ties which will re-
main indissoluble even after the war.
Both our nations had already been
brought together by the remembrances of
tude of our political and public institu-
lions, by our democratic traditions and by
natural sympathies and by affinities of
But now we know each other still better.
We have together defended the. same
sacred cause; we together have saved man
I'VE are now to make use of this friend
ship for settling in full accord with Eng
land and Italy and the other nations which
fought at our side. a just and lasting peace
which shall repair injury and spoilation
and prevent any offensive return on the
part of the powers of conquest and domino
ton.
I am convinced the unity of feeling will
be complete and continuous between the
ference which shortly will be held here in
order TO establish the conditions of peace"

BLAME HUN SOLDIERS
Germans Responsible for Rioting In
Posen last Thursday.


Warsaw, Dec. 80 (delayed) Ger
man soldiers are blamed by Polish
leaders for the fatal rioting at Posen
last Thursday, in statement given
out, setting forth the Polish version
of the trouble there.
It is said that at five o'clock Thurs
day afternoon German soldiers re-
cruited in Posen, angered at the re-
ception given Ignace Paderewski by
the Poles, formed a counter parade
shouting "Posen is a German town"
They began, it is charged, to tear
down allied flags and to sing Die
Yacht am Rhein" and Deutschland
uber Allies"
The Poles resented this and the
street fighting ensued. Herr Dorfanti,
Polish member of German reichstaG
addressed the Poles in city hall square
and induced many of them to go to
their homes. A short time later, it
is stated, German soldiers, headed by
an officer appeared with machine
guns and fired into the crowds re-
naming in the square. Forty-seven
persons were killed, the statement
says
The trouble has delayed the depart
ure of Paderewski for Warsaw.
Renewed activity by Ruthenian and
Bolsheyist forces at Lemburg is re-
ported in an official statement issued
DyfII0 tOilSn headquarters mere.
They are said to be attacking Wig
orously south of that city, having
heavy German artillery. The Poles
are said to have been forced to fall
back.
It is said that the forces command
ed by Petlura, the Ukrainian peasant
leader, are joining in the attack. It
is possible that if more troops are
sent to Lemberg. the expedition
against wilma, reported in Bolshevist
hands, will be embarrassed. There
are not men enough for both opera
tons. The Polish chief of staff has
been unable to maintain communica
tom with the allies, because the use
of the wireless telegraph by the Ger
mans. He is. also unable to use the
telegraph and in addition has no code
for : laying the situation before the
allied commanders.
Former soldiers and prisoners
called on Premier Morazewski this
morning and informed him they were
ready to fight if they were given their
back pay SO they might care for their
families. In spite of the tense situa-
tion,- the city was quiet today and
nothing was heard from the revolu-
break out again at any moment. The
reyolutionists are well equipped with
rifles, motor cars and artillery but 1t
not believed they will succeed in seiz--
ing the government if Brig. Gen. JOS
eph Pilsudski, the Polish dictator, re-
mains firm.

Many people fear to take medicine

with all the products of The Black
burn Products Co., Dayton, Ohio.
Not one contains opiates, narcotics or

and alcohol sufficient to preserve and
keep in solution.
Every ingredient is in concentrated
form and the medicine is so strong
that only ten-drop doses are to be
taken in the raw state. But the
ideal way is to make into syrup by
emptying a 21a o. bottle of Mentho-
Laxene into pint bottle and then fill
the bottle with graduated sugar
syrup, made by dissolving a pint of
sugar in a half pint of boiling water.
1t is said by thousands that this makes

Topeka Advertised.
Ont of the war work the Chamber
of Commerce accomplished one of the
greatest advertising campaigns for the
benefit of Topeka that could have been
devised. The chamber did this re-
luctantly at first, but with growing
enthusiasm as the results became
more and more visible to the naked
eye. The Chamber of Commerce gave
the use of its rooms to the Rota club
every Saturday evening and Sunday
afternoon and evening. And in the
rooms the Rota club entertained hum
dreds of soldiers from Camp Funston
and other cantonments of the national
army.
The Rota club given the use of the
Chamber of Commerce quarters pro-
ceeded to inaugurate a series of COM
munity house affairs for all men in
the uniform of the United States or
her allies. At various times the SOL
diers of France and of Britain tasted
of the hospitality of Topeka via the
Rota club route.
Every Saturday night the club gave
a dance for the soldiers. There were
always plenty of girls to go around
pretty and accomplished girls who
know how to make soldier feel at
home even tho that soldier had never
before been attendant at a big social
event.
Sunday afternoon the same corps
of girls every one of them selected
and above any whisper of reproach.
entertained the men in olive drab anG
broke bread with them around the
Chamber of Commerce tables.
Big Work Ahead.
With so much accomplished in the
way of permanent good for the city
the Chamber of Commerce has not
watched the sands of 1918 sift slowly
this is not all. The Chamber of Com
merce has been the meeting place
for dozens of local organizations; it
has extended the hospitality of the
city to conventions of all sorts; it has
taken an active part in all movements
for the public good; it has tried hard
to carry out its best traditions and it
hc 3 succeeded
Now the Chamber of Commerce has
turned the glass of sitting sand and as
the first grains of passing time drop
slowly into the clean globe, plans are
being formulated for the year to come.
1t is planned that with the good will
already established and with a war
record the peer of any city in the
land Topeka will become the hub
and center of all activities in the state.
1t is planned that an intensive cam
paign of good will be carried on and

WAS BOLD STROKE
General Allenby's Move One of
Wars Most Spectacular.
His Palestine Campaign Opened
Up Way to Damascus.

London, Jan. 1 british Wireless
Service) "Details of what was per-
haps one OF the most spectacular
operations of the war became known
when General Allenby's report on the
Palestine campaign was published.
British, Indian. French, and Italian
contingents participated in the fight
ing and in addition Arab forces from
east of the Jordan rendered effective
assistance. The British navy also had
a share in the operations.
General Allenby's plan was ambi-
tious. He sought to break the Turk
lsh lines. send his cavalry thru and
encompass what he describes as a
"rectangle. forty-ffve miles in length
and twelve in DEPTH" in which the
Turkish troops were crowded By
my's communication and complete his
discontinue by joining hands with the
Arabs.
A force vastly superior to the Turk
ish armies was gathered against the
right wing of the enemy's army, near
the Mediterranean coast on the morn
ing of September 10, after an intense
bonn bardment lasting only 1 5 minutes
the allies attacked. The great gap
was torn in the Turkish lines and
thru it were sent masses of cavalry
which had been held in leash until
the moment had arrived.

of escape for the seventh and eighth
Turkish armies had been closed. All
organized enemy resistance ceased and
roads were blocked by retreafing men

forces hurled themselves at the hud-
died masses of Turks.
THE Turkish armies melted into
nothingness," says the report.
