REASONS "UP HIS SLEEVE"
Mr.. Wilson Prevented by Illness From
Real Treaty Sensation.

Washington. Sept. 29.-Presiden t
Wilson, as soon as his health permits,
is expected to issue a statement con-
tanning a number of arguments for
ratification of the peace treaty, which
his breakdown prevented him from
making in speeches at Little Rock,
Oklahoma City, Memphis and Louis
Vile.
Before he became i'll, it was learned
that he had something up his sleeve"
that he was saving ammunition for
the concluding addresses of his tour
His idea apparently was to finish his
drive for ratification in such a man
ner that worldwide attention would
be riveted on it, returning to Wash
ington primed for a show down" on
acceptance or rejection of the treaty.
Illness prevented this climax. 1t was
considered likely today he would take
the first opportunity to make use of
his prize arguments by the issuance of
this statement.
There was much talk here today of
tee Industrial conference scheduled
for October 6 either being called off
or postponed. Dissatisfa ction has
been expressed with the presidents
choices of men to represent the gen.
eral public at the conference. The
prospect of it being held failed to
avert the steel strike. And the presi-
dent himself, who planned to address
the conference and participate in it,
is prevented by illness from so doing
1t was suggested today that his break
down might cause this round table"
to be cancelled, and another one called
later when new lists of representa-
tives. more satisfactory to those who
object to the present ones could be
prepare.
Wilson is still holding to his position
that the industrial situation cannot
permanently be stabilized and food
prices and taxes reduced. until peace
is established by treaty ratification.
As soon as Doctor Grayson permits
Wilson is expected to receive General
Pershing at the White House. He also
wants to see Cardinal MERCER. The
president expects to be sufficiently re-
covered to meet the King of the Bel
CLANS and the Prince of Wales in about
a month

TEST OF STRENGTH
Many Plants in Chicago District fian-
ming To Reopen Today.

Chicago, Sept. ga test OF
strength between the steel mills and
striking workmen was expected to de-
velop today thruout the Chicago dis
trict following the announcement that
an attempt would be made to put in
operation a number of plants which
were closed by the strike.
Union leaders put out many adui-
tional pickets early in the day with
instructions to endeavor to prevent the
return of men to the mills. Chie1s OF
police and sheriffs in districts where
steel mills are located ordered out re-
serve officers and placed them at
points where it was believed clashes
might occur between strike sympa-
thizers and men who attempted to re-
turn to the mills.
At Gary, Indiana, besides the reg
ular police force and many deputy
sheriffs, the six hundred members OF
a recently organized citizen league
were ready TO respond should any Sc
rious disturbances arise. the chi
caEo police authorities were ready TO
send several hundred patrolmen TO
South Chicago In case of any disorder
around the steel mills there. At
Waukegan. five hundred deputy
sheriffs have been shown in to pre-
the peace.

they expected their forces would be

For Skin Tortures

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.
