b0RAH PROTESTS
 COLONY DECISION Opposed to U. s. Being Re. sponsible for Any Part of
 German Possessions
By As.ocured P.ss

Washington, January 3O.-Vigorous op- position to plans reported from Paris for the internationalzation of former Ger l man colonies was voiced in the Senate today by Senator Borah of Idaho, repub- lican. The speaker said he was not ir favor of the United States asuming any obligation to control, govern, or be re- sponsible for any part of the German possessions.'
 Senator Borah said Australia, in de
 manding the German islands of the Pa cific, had Sannounced a Monroe doctrine
 for Australia, and added:
 If we, as a member of league, in- terfere with Monroe doctrine of Aus
 tralia, or the Monroe doctrine of Japan, tor of some other nation, how long would it be before they would interfere with our Monroe doctrine?"
 | The Idaho senator criticized a reported private conference between Colonel ouse and General Shuts regarding disposition of the German colonies, at which it was said an agreement had been reached to sustain the secret treaty between Great Britain and Japan for disposition of cer l tain German possessions in the Pacific Senator Borah said this was another ex- hibition of secret diplomacy and declared
 league of nations based on secret pro- ceedings would be an infamous institu- tion.'
 Senator King Of Utah, democrat, de tended the action of the American com missions in holding private conferences, declaring such conferences were neces- sary to formulate views for presentation to the peace conference.

REV. R. |. DURANT TELLS EXPERIENCES
 IN THE GREAT WAR
Birmingham Pastor Now in Southern France Writes About Army's Trip
 to Rhine

The Rev. R. l.. Durant of Birmingham who went through the great battles ir France with the '. M. C. A., and went to the Rhine with his division, writes as fololws to his wife and daughter who are now at Judson college:
 Paris, December 25.-I am wishing for you merry Christmas. and if wishes are good for anything you will have a great holiday season.
 I tried to get released from further duty in France so could go to you, but there were reasons why the "Y" author ities preferred having me stay longer. So I consented.
 The weather is cold here-was much worse in Germany.
 When the fighting ceased we were transferred to the army of occupation and ordered to "hike" it to Germany. We were on the road about a 1month, when one morning we saw, from the top of a mountain, the Rhine river, and steamboats, and little village just at the foot of the mountain
 You should have seen those soldiers; they yelled and shouted, laughed and cried. It was perfectly ridiculous, but I joined them.
 Never was a picture painted quite so beautiful as our first vision of the Rhine. We journeyed down the river many many miles, always going north. The scenery simply beggars description.
 This country does not look like devas- tated France with her destroyed towns anG poverty stricken people. Here every thing looks prosperous. The people were very hospitable and kind.
 To my great surprise my chief came to me and said, "Durant, I am afraid this climate is going to be too severe for a man from Dixie; especially for a man who has never been exposed much" You see he thought because I am preacher I had always been protected from the clements. "So," said he, you are en- titled, according to " rules, to a 10 days furlough. How would you like to go pack to Paris for Christmas and be transferred to southern France for the remainder of your stay in Europe?" I said, q will be delighted, it's a step toward America" So it was arranged. l travelled on a military pass, arriving in Paris the night of December 23
 So Christmas finds me in Paris on my vacation, before going south for the winter.
 This city is not a good place to rest, but think I could rest anywhere with nothing to do.
 December 27.-Had been hoping that

HOW DOCTORS
 TREAT COLDS AND THE FLU First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the New Nau-
 sealess CalOmel

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influenza can be depended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly ac- tive That is why the first step in the treatment is the new. nausealess Calo- mel called Calotabs, which is free from the sickening, weakening and salivat- ing effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver goes long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in enabling the patient to successfully withstand an at tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time, with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with hearty appetite for breakfast. Druggists sell Caiotabs only in. original sealed packages, price thirty five cents. Your money will be cheerfully refunded if you do not find them delightful-Adv.

 Paris, January 30.-That Apaehes of all nationalities dressed in American uni forms were mainly responsible for the acts of violence which have caused broad cast publicity to be given to an alleged American crime wave in Paris, was shown by an investigation conducted by the Associated Press today.
 It was further ascertained that as- saults and holdups are infinitesimal in number as compared with the published figures of the crime wave, existing in the vivid imagination of sensational local newspapers.
 An opportunity was presented to verify at police headquarters the figures re- specting crimes during last December. Thirty four murders charged to Ameri- cans were discredted and dwindled to two PA holdups and assaults were re- duced by 80 per cent
